simple life

After talking for a while, the auntie finally turned the topic to what she cared about the most: "Xiao Guo, I heard from your mother that you bought a house in City Y?" After she finished speaking, she drank her saliva as if nothing had happened, indicating that she was just curious, Asking suddenly.

Tang Guo said with a smile: "I bought it, but it's just a down payment. Now I'm saving up for a mortgage. My brother and friends helped me to get the down payment together. Otherwise, I wouldn't have just worked for a year. Buy a house in a year."

The aunt seemed to have heard the answer she liked, and her smile became more sincere: "Oh, it's not the aunt who said you, why did you buy a house so early? It's not easy for you to work outside, so renting a house is fine? Isn't it tiring to pay for the mortgage and have my brother's and friends' bills?"

Tang Guo: "Don't you have to buy this house at any time? Buying it late is worse than buying it early. It's easier to pay off the mortgage early."

Uncle: "Let me tell you, you might as well save the money first, and buy a house when you come back later. It's not suitable for you to buy it in other provinces. Your Brother Yong also bought a house in our county. Everywhere is good and not expensive!" After finishing speaking, there was a pride on his face that could be seen by others.

Brother Yong is the eldest son of my aunt. He bought his house last summer, and Tang's mother went to the house warming at that time.To be honest, the house is not that big, it is a small room with two bedrooms, it is only suitable for a small family to live in.

In fact, if Tang came to see, Brother Yong bought this house completely following the trend. Many people from them have started to buy houses in the county.However, many people have no jobs in the county at all, so it is not worthwhile to buy a house there and spend money on a green onion.

Brother Yong didn't work in the county either. He used to work in other provinces and just found a job in their provincial capital last year.It only takes about 25 minutes to drive from their village to the county, which is not far at all.If it is just for convenience in the city, there is not much convenience. After all, their county seat is only an n-tier city, and nothing is developed.

Last year, a high-speed rail station was set up in the county, and the traffic was a little better, but the high-speed rail station was very deserted, and there might be a little more people entering the station during holidays.

It is impossible to say that this is for the sake of children studying in the future.Apart from kindergartens, there are no good schools in the county, and Tang Guo and his brothers also went to the city for their studies.

Do you really think that if you buy a house in the city, you are a city dweller?I don’t have a job in the city, and it costs money to eat a dish, plus the current weather and environment... I really don’t know why I want to buy a house in the city.

But these can only be thought about in the heart, but cannot be said.Tang Guo: "I'm working there now very smoothly. If there are no accidents, I will work there for many years! Buying a house there and having a home of my own will allow me to settle down. Besides, I just now My brother also said that now we are very busy during the Chinese New Year. Buying a house there, and taking my parents over to celebrate the Chinese New Year with us will provide us with a place to stay. And isn’t it very popular to buy a house now? Some people have several houses in their hands Well, if I have money, I’ll just come back and buy it later, and it won’t do much to keep it anyway.”

The aunt nodded: "That's true. Then Xiaofeng will go directly to Xiaoguo's place for the new year?"

Tang Feng: "It's like this. Our company has a branch in the city, so I applied for a transfer there. The two brothers are together so that we can take care of them."

Auntie: "That's fine. Well, I'm going back first, but it's a pity that Brother Yong and the others won't come back in Qingming, otherwise you can get together..." She got up after speaking.

When they got up, Tang Feng said politely: "Auntie, please sit down for a while! My mother went to the river to wash the mop, and she should be back soon."

Uncle: "No, I'll come back when the time comes." Then she opened the door and went out.

Several people sat down and heard the sound of the door closing outside, knowing that they had gone far away.Jiang Qi asked: "Dad and brother?"

Tang Guo: "My grandfather and the grandfather over there are brothers, my uncle and my father are cousins, not relatives."

Jiang Qi: "Oh. When my uncle asked about the house just now, how did you say it was so miserable? Didn't you already buy it?" Jiang Qi has no experience with the family, so he doesn't understand many things very well .

Tang Guo: "This is called not revealing the wealth. If I can buy the house with full money in a short time, they will definitely feel uncomfortable if they know."

Jiang Qi seemed to understand and nodded, "Oh..."

Regarding this, we will no longer discuss it.

After a while, Tang's mother came back with the mop.There are a total of four mops in their house. If they wash one by one with tap water at home, they must be washed very slowly and not clean.There is an electric car at home. Tang's mother puts the mop on the car, drives a small electric donkey, and can reach the river in a few minutes. When the time comes, she can directly poke the mop into the water to clean it. It will definitely be fast and clean.

Tang Guo: "Mom, why didn't you come back until now?"

Tang Ma said with a smile: "I met people from our village by the river. I haven't seen them for a long time. I talked to them there for a while."

Tang Guo: "Oh, that's right. Yan Ting, I'm hungry, let's cook, and I'll take you out for a stroll after eating."

Yan Ting: "Okay! Come and help me fight, it will be faster." Then he took Tang to the kitchen.Jiang Qi also followed to see if there was anything he could do to help.

The weather is fine today, and the stove is still burning, so there is no need to make hot pot, or it will be too hot.So they thought they were cooking today and made five dishes and one soup.

Tang Guo took the bowls and chopsticks outside: "Mom, please call and ask Dad to come back for dinner."

Tang's mother: "Don't call, he just sent a text message, saying that he went to a friend's house for a drink, let him go."

Tang Guo said with a smile, "As soon as Dad came back, someone invited him to dinner. The market is really good."

Tang Ma gave him a white look: "Is the word market used in this way?"

Tang Feng scooped up the rice quickly: "Don't worry about it, let's eat quickly!" He took the lead in extending his chopsticks to the dish.

Seeing this, the others also picked up the bowls and chopsticks and began to eat unceremoniously.

After eating, Tang's mother drove them out to wander around, and stayed to tidy up the house by herself.

Six handsome guys, or very high-quality handsome guys, walk together, which is very memorable.Moreover, Tang Feng and the two brothers hadn't come back for two years. They had to stop and chat with everyone they met along the way, and it took more than half an hour before they left the village.

Lu Zhongze: "Your village is really warm, thank you for repeating your words one by one patiently, if I couldn't take it anymore."

Tang Feng: "Then what can I do? People in the village look down and don't see them. How can I not talk to them properly?"

Jiang Qi: "Then where are we going?"

Tang Guo: "How about I take you to the riverside to see first? Now we are engaged in the construction of a new countryside. Our place is classified as a tourist area, and the various constructions along the riverside are good."

Jiang Qi: "Okay, let's go to the river to have a look. To be honest, I'm quite curious what the river in the countryside looks like."

Tang Guo: "What else can it be? It's just a small stone bridge with endless bamboo on both sides, it's quite beautiful."

We walked slowly, and we arrived at the river in a short while.

Jiang Qi exclaimed: "It's so beautiful. The river water is reflected green by the bamboo and willow trees on both sides. Hey, the willow trees have just sprung up. They are so tender and beautiful. Ah! Were there mandarin ducks then?"

Tang Guo held back his mouth: "What kind of mandarin duck is it? It's just a small water bird and wild duck. The color of the mandarin duck is so beautiful, how can it be so dusty like this?"

Jiang Qi: "But they are also in pairs, no different from mandarin ducks..."

uh, this...

At this time, Bai Li suddenly said: "Is the village across the river that Dad mentioned the same village?"

Tang Guo: "What village across the river? Ah! That?" He asked Bai Li with his eyes.

Bai Li nodded: "Yes!"

Tang Guo: "It should be on the opposite side. After all, this village is the only one across the river from our village."

For a moment, everyone remembered what Tang's father said at that time, so they fell silent as a whole.

According to Tang's father, after those two people were carried up, were they placed on the field opposite the bridge?

Thinking about it this way, everyone felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Qi: "Are there any lanterns here during the Qingming Festival? How about we come to the riverside to put up lanterns then?"

Tang Guo hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, we never put lanterns here. Besides, we don't have a good impression of the river. The more evil way of saying it is that we are afraid that putting lanterns here may attract some bad things."

Jiang Qi was discouraged: "Is that so? I saw a lot of river lanterns on TV, and I don't know if these festivals can be played, but I thought it was the same everywhere."

Bai Li patted Jiang Qi to be comforted, and asked, "Then can I go to the grave to offer incense?"

In fact, Tang Guo is quite timid. Regarding these things, he thinks it is better to follow the customs: "After all, we are separated by generations, and it is not our own. I don't know if it is ok. Go home and ask my parents first. ? Look at what they say..."

Bai Li nodded: "Then go ask first."

This matter suddenly disturbed everyone's interest in playing, and there were still four days to Qingming, everyone was eager to know if this matter was okay, so they walked for a while and hurried home.
