For me, a layman in decoration, the most difficult thing is to adjust the paint to match the color of the floor. Although the task is a bit daunting, think about it from another perspective, just think of it as preparing in advance for buying a house and decorating it in the future!
After mixing the paint, I started to apply the color. I used a hair dryer to blow it for a while, and it finally took more than two hours to get it done. If you don't look carefully, it's actually hard to see the color difference.
After it was done, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and had just opened a bottle of Coke when suddenly there was a turning sound from the keyhole of my door.
Soon, the pretty face that was thinking about everything appeared in front of her eyes.
Lin Feifei was startled and nodded to me calmly.
"You're back..."
She said hello to me, then took off her high heels, stepped on the floor with her little flesh-colored feet, and Tingting walked towards me.
"That floor, I..."
As she spoke, she suddenly discovered that the two places on the floor that had been burned by mosquito coils had returned to their original state.
She couldn't help being stunned, her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she stared at me in disbelief.
"Have you fixed everything?"
A smile emerged from the corner of my mouth, "How's it going? I'm awesome!"
"Okay! How much did it cost? Is it expensive?"
I smiled and puffed up my chest, "I did it myself. Apart from buying paint and sandpaper, there was almost no other investment." "
Lin Feifei's rosy little mouth opened into an O shape, "So powerful?"
"Of course, should you reward me?"
I smiled and twitched my fingers at her.
Lin Feifei rolled her eyes at me, "Don't come here! I haven't settled the accounts with you yet!"
"This... let's put it into perspective! It was all a misunderstanding before. If you are patient, you can give me a chance to explain."
Maybe it was because the floor was repaired and her worries were relieved. Lin Feifei nodded and looked at me with a half-smile: "Tell me! I would like to hear how you misunderstood that you ended up in the same room?"
"..."
Listening to her tone, I breathed a sigh of relief. At least she gave me a chance to explain, which was better than the angry words before. After getting her consent, I lit a cigarette and told her Tang Feng's story while smoking.
Lin Feifei is a good listener. When I was talking, she kept curled up on the sofa and listened quietly to me.
When I finished speaking, her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and she sighed melancholy: "Hey, actually, this girl is also a miserable person."
"That's right! That's why I introduced her to Feng Jiang, which can be regarded as saving her from the sea of suffering!"
I couldn't help but think of Gigi Bai. She was also a miserable person, but Tang Feng chose to give herself another chance, while Gigi Bai chose to fall into the darkness.
The next day, I contacted the landlord and told her the good news that the repairs were completed.
That afternoon, the landlord came to inspect the house.
After seeing my "masterpiece", she nodded unhappily: "Well, it's not bad. Although there is still a slight difference in color, it's still reasonable for it to be like this. Hey...that's it!"
call!
Hearing what she said, I breathed a sigh of relief.
The landlord took a deep look at Lin Feifei and me, cleared his throat, and said:
"Yu Bin... you have lived here for several years. If I have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't mind. Although you have patched up the floor, my sister's house is going to be taken back. This People have taken a liking to the house, and it will be handed over soon. You can look for another house, and then you can only live in this house until the end of the month..."
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Although she told me that she wanted to sell the house, after living there for so long, she suddenly told me that she was moving out. I suddenly felt a little empty. She was in a hurry to take possession of the house and promised to refund me the deposit and rent she had paid before, and then compensate me with one month's rent as compensation.
In the years since I joined the Beipiao army, I have had to move every one or two years.
Floating here, I never know how long this place will last. The rent is rising almost every year. I have retreated all the way from the Fourth Ring Road to outside the Sixth Ring Road, just to save hundreds of yuan in rent every month.
This "home" is where I have lived for the longest time. Where will I move to next time? That is my real home, and everything is still unknown.
I felt like I was being swept away when I suddenly had to move away. I felt like a nomad in the city, constantly moving from temporary residence to temporary residence.
For the wandering family, moving is an unavoidable topic.
But this time I moved with a particularly heavy heart, because this time I had to take Lin Feifei with me and let her wander with me. I felt an indescribable vicissitude in my heart.
In big cities, it is difficult to define survival and life. I have lived here for so many years. Whether I am happy or sad, this dilapidated house carries too many memories for me. Maybe it is because of living here for so many years that I I was no longer prepared to move at any time, and when I suddenly said I wanted to move, I seemed to be caught off guard by life.
But I soon adjusted my mood. There were too many things to face when moving, including finding a house, packing things, and finding a moving company for some large items.
So Lin Feifei and I started looking for a house.
I downloaded various rental apps, but most of them were agents. The extra month's rent really made me feel a little distressed. In order to save money, I had to start a house-sweeping mode. Specifically, I wandered around the surrounding communities and took a look. Are there any first-hand landlords who rent out their own apartments?
Lin Feifei had the day off. When she heard that I was going to sweep the building, she insisted on going with me.
This morning, after the two of us had a good meal, we went to several surrounding communities to sweep buildings and look for housing.
This really depends on luck. Nowadays, many communities are contracted by intermediaries. It is a long way to go to prevent middlemen from making the difference.
Sometimes in life, only by looking at things from a different perspective can we escape from a depressing life. I convinced myself that although moving is painful, life is just an experience. Sooner or later, I will definitely "come ashore".
Lin Feifei held my arm and kept going back and forth in various communities. It would be an advantage to have a beautiful woman with her. As long as she started talking to others, they would be very enthusiastic. However, she had to try her luck to find a first-hand landlord. Let's go shopping I visited two communities and didn't find anything suitable.
Lin Feifei was tired from walking. When she saw the benches in the community, she felt as if she had been granted amnesty.
"No, I'm tired from walking. Let's take a rest."
Lin Feifei rolled over and leaned back on the lounge chair, quickly took off her boat shoes, and immediately freed her feet.
"I'm almost exhausted after walking for such a long time. My dear, please give me a rub!"
As she said that, Lin Feifei put her feet on my thighs.
