Because of Wei Tao's boredom with the environment and the vanity of an immature young man in his heart, he resisted and did not buy such an old bungalow in a remote suburb at that time. He continued the life of renting a house as a mother and son, even if it was an old and a broken boy. The top floor of the red brick building is also a building where I live, where I go to the toilet, and where I live in the city.
There is no need to talk about how much money we lost when we demolished this place. The rent for a room in an old red-brick building was more than 100 yuan a month. VS spent 20,000 yuan at a time to buy a bungalow with a small courtyard. Even if they later talked about 18,000 yuan, the mother and son had no final choice.
"Mom, it's good." There was not much to say until the talkative aunt talked to the other party about eighteen thousand yuan. Looking at the mother who was hesitant to make up her mind, Wei Tao spoke, and once the child opened his mouth to buy something, he said This is a big no-no for buyers who like to let the dust settle, fully implement it.
My mother's decision to buy a house here was made when she was about to be laid off. Her work unit is in Jiangbei, and this is Jiangnan, which are completely opposite ends of the city. The wave of layoffs is irreversible. Life will continue in the future, and there is still a half-grown young man to support.
Coming here was my aunt's suggestion, and she was also someone my mother, who had always had no idea, could rely on. My aunt has a colleague who started a small business after being laid off. She has already helped contact him. The other person will help my mother complete the process from a novice to a veteran, and it is on the agenda to live here.
As the main developed area of the city, the housing prices in Jiangnan are much higher than those in Jiangbei, and the same goes for renting a house. At first, my mother just wanted to rent a house further out on the edge of the city. Later, her aunt persuaded her to think about it. After all, she wanted to have a house. A one-third of an acre of land that truly belongs to you, even if it has leaking tiles covering your head, it is your own home. You no longer need to move around all year round, always having to move when the rent and the landlord's conditions change.
Due to the price, we drove farther and farther until we were almost outside the city limits. A few kilometers further on, we reached XX Township, SJ City.
Don't underestimate these few kilometers, it is the difference between city people and country people. In this era, it is uncertain whether the benefits of household registration for city people are much better. The vanity of city people is still there, not like a few people. After the year, rural household registration began to become a popular product.
Wei Tao has always felt that he was quite happy, and he has thought so for more than thirty years. His father passed away when he was very young, and he has always been dependent on his mother. During this period, although his mother also thought about remarrying, it was because of procrastination. Because of the bottle, the candidate was not satisfactory. In addition, Wei Tao was not sensible and made trouble a lot when he was a child. It was not until many years later that he finally found a wife.
The family is poor, but what she deserves is that her mother also loves Wei Tao. She even dotes on her son to a certain extent. She would rather work overtime and use the extra money to let her son at least live the same life as an ordinary student. .
When I was a child, I always didn’t understand. I always felt that everything was as it should be. And I was so ignorant that I would blame my mother for not being able to provide for her. In the heart of Wei Tao, who has matured after a few years of struggling outside, he always felt that he was right. My mother is in debt, and I have given her no less money, but if I miss it, I miss it. Now that I have a chance to do it again, I must let my mother live the happy life she wants in advance.
One of the prerequisites for a happy life is to ensure that the mother does not have to carry the heavy burden for several years in material terms.
The important part of a happy life is no longer a child, but the main force in this small family that can carry the world of life.
As for emotions, that's her own business.
As for companionship, Wei Tao has no intention of leaving Songjiang. As a reborn person, although we don’t have the terrifying brain to remember all the major events; nor are we professionals to remember many important points in the shopping mall. At least in the general direction, I still have some understanding, but I can’t remember it or it’s very vague. When the Internet becomes popular, I may encounter certain things that will bring back some memories. It’s not too late to do a wave of car riding, and it shouldn’t be too late. question.
The mother and son had moved many times over the years, and everything was familiar to them. Except for clothes, bedding and daily necessities, there were almost no decent things, and there were no large household appliances. Perhaps this was why Wei Tao resisted buying this small courtyard. , at least in the rental house in the red brick building, there is also a small color TV with a broken picture tube color left by the landlord, and it can also 'borrow' other people's cable TV signals.
But there was nothing in this small bungalow.
Now, everything is different.
17,500. At the last moment, I negotiated another 500 yuan. With the help of my aunt who was relatively more knowledgeable, my mother was laid off and her life was supposed to be ruined. Instead, she actually owned her own real estate.
Even if it was small, even if it was dilapidated, even if it was far away from the city center, Wei Tao could see clearly that the mother, who was supposed to be aging rapidly under the blow of being laid off, did not have such a heavy look on her face this time.
They didn’t have many things, so the fourth aunt and his wife, who lived in a heavy industrial zone further north of the Yangtze River, brought a tricycle and all their things. Wei Tao felt a pang in his heart when he saw the calmness hidden in his mother’s smile. I must be so ignorant.
Whether she is renting a house or staying with a relative, the words "living under someone else's roof" are like a heavy burden on her mother's shoulders, making her even more insecure when she already has no man to rely on.
Only when you have a house can you have a home, and when you have a home can you have peace of mind.
When he helped move things and clean up the house, and when his fourth uncle helped lay the new kang leather, Wei Tao took the initiative to help.
"Xiao Tao, this child has grown up." In the yard, through the window, the fourth aunt's face showed a somewhat relaxed look: "As for the eldest sister, she may ask her little Kaido to help him grow up. Auntie, I see Xiaotao has grown up now and knows how to work."
The aunt also nodded: "Let's talk to Xiao Tao later. His mother is going to sell vegetables. He has to get a tricycle so far away. Why does a young man like him have to go and help."
Several people are very aware of the vanity of young people, but each family has its own affairs. In the final analysis, everyone has to live their own life. If the nephew is still ignorant and only knows how to ask for money to be a student, then the old girl There will be more hardship to endure next.
"I can ride a tricycle, so don't buy a tricycle. My fourth uncle helped me get in touch to buy an old tricycle. This place is far away from the wholesale market and the vegetable market where my mother is going. Riding a tricycle is too slow. There are three It’s a wheel motorcycle, and the rear bucket is also big, so you can take in more food when traveling back and forth..."
In the evening, Wei Tao volunteered to cook in the new house. No one asked him to help his mother, so he took the initiative.
According to Zhou Xinglian, after the child has graduated from the technical school, he still has to learn a trade. The young man of 17 or 18 cannot wait for the technical school. It has long been said that the technical school does not guarantee the allocation. If it is wasted for a year and a half, the child will be finished.
According to the wishes of the aunt and the fourth aunt, we cannot buy three-wheeled motorcycles. The old ones cost more than one thousand or two thousand yuan. Now we are just starting to do it. Buy a tricycle and buy one by one from the large wholesale market to the small market. Go sell it, this is the safe and reliable choice.
There was no decision that night. After the people left, Wei Tao did not go to live on the kang in the big house. He sat at the desk in the small house. The chairs were all wooden stools without backrests. He opened his notebook and continued to use his "dragon and phoenix dance" that almost no one could recognize. 'Handwriting and some special recording habits, write down the memory fragments that can be recalled.

There is such a thing, but when will it happen, how will it happen, and what changes will it bring to an ordinary person? Wei Tao doesn't know. How can you expect a person who only earns 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in a big city to allow his mother to live well in his hometown? , a technical school graduate who cannot afford to buy a house in a big city drifts to the north. How much energy do ordinary people have to pay attention to the specific details of national and international events in their lives for more than ten years, and how much energy can this bring them the absolute benefit of rebirth?
