Back then, on Dahong's marriage certificate, although their heads were barely attached to each other after being supported and supported by the photographer, the outer shoulders of the two were rigidly pinned in opposite directions. He and she were as clear as mirrors in their hearts: their marriage and love had little to do with each other. At most, they were not disgusted with each other.
They were married for the house.
That year, the unit was allocated a house for welfare. According to the regulations, he who has reached the age of marriage must have a marriage certificate before he can be allocated a house of 40 square meters. He is the eldest son in the family. If he is allocated a house, the pressure on his younger brother to get married in the future will be less. And her brother has been waiting to get married, but she can't vacate the house at home.
The matchmaker introduced the situation on both sides separately, and both of them asked the same sentence: Do you have no physical disabilities or bad habits? After chatting for a while, she felt that he was his duty, and he felt that she had a good heart. Then, they each said back to the matchmaker, OK.
On the wedding day, both of them felt very happy, but also because they had a house. He felt that he was a man, almost 30 years old, and finally had a place to live in; and she was happy that she no longer had to look at her brother's face to make her parents embarrassed, she had a man with a house, although it was only 40 square meters rice, but she felt like her own palace.
The days passed quickly like running water, and they had a daughter. When his daughter grew up in that home day by day, she and he felt at the same time that a 40-square-meter house was too small. However, it is no longer possible to change to a larger house through welfare housing. His factory has long since been restructured. After he bought out his seniority, he worked as an electrician in a shopping mall, and she was a salesperson in a pharmacy.
As the daughter grew older, he began to sleep on the sofa in the living room, while the daughter and his wife slept in the bedroom, but later, the daughter said that she needed a separate bedroom of her own, otherwise she would not be able to bring her classmates to the house. Their daughter's words made them sad.
That day, she suddenly told him that she had resigned from the pharmacy. He was very angry and said, why not discuss such a thing. She said, haven't they discussed anything before? He realized that after 16 years of marriage, he seldom asked his wife's affairs, and he seldom talked to his wife about his own affairs. 16-year-old couple, their shoulders still seem to be pinned in different directions.
She said that she applied to an insurance company as a salesman. Originally, people thought she was too old to want her, but she worked for a long time.
3 years later, she gave him 60,000 yuan and said that she can move in after the down payment is paid. I have already inquired about it, and I want to go see it with you.
75 sqm, two bedrooms. The big one is for my daughter. During the viewing of the house, they both said at the same time.
In the days that followed, she regained the joy of watching the curtains sway back then. They have a big house and their daughter has her own bedroom. He was busy with his work, so she ran the decoration market alone. One moment it's the floor, the next moment the ceiling light, the next moment the paint, the next moment the toilet. For two whole months, she was so busy that she lost a lot of weight.
The new house was finally renovated, but she fell ill. She went to the hospital alone. Before, she had never asked him to accompany her because of her headache and brain fever. This time, when the doctor asked to talk to her family, she still stubbornly said that her husband was on a business trip and that she could take responsibility for her condition.
On Saturday, the daughter asked to see the new house, and she took her there. The daughter was excitedly circling and dancing in the new house, wrapping her arms around her neck and saying, "Mom, let's move tomorrow."
From the new house, she took her daughter to McDonald's and then to the playground. The daughter is obviously not interested in these, and keeps saying, Mom, let's move quickly.
The walls were mottled, the curtains faded, and the cement floor had countless small pits. This old house that she once wanted to move out of, made her reluctant. She said to her daughter, what's the hurry, anyway, it has been renovated, this old house is the new house that your father and I used in those days, and it is also the place where you were born. It's a bit reluctant to move out so soon, and live for a while. He shouted at her, it's all renovated, why not move? Isn't it happy for her daughter, if the old one is good, why buy a new one. She was silent. He couldn't say that he cared about her much, but he seldom angered her so much.
When she felt in good spirits that day, she found her daughter, hugged her daughter and sat on the old sofa, she cried. She and her daughter faded for a long time. The 15-year-old daughter burst into tears and kept saying, Mom, I've been living in the old house with you.
She still didn't live long. The doctor originally told her 3 months, but maybe she had nothing to worry about, and just after 2 months, she was leaving: that day, the family finished dinner on the coffee table in the living room--for so many years, they were on the balcony Cooking, no dining room, has been eating on the coffee table in the living room. Putting down the chopsticks, she leaned on the sofa, took out the key to the new house and handed it to him, and put her daughter's hand in his, and then her body gradually slipped off the sofa.
The daughter threw herself on top of her, wailing loudly. It was his daughter who told him that his wife had a terminal brain tumor, and she didn't want to go to the hospital because she felt hopeless. She didn't move because if she died in a new house, no one would want to live in that house. However, she thought that in the future, a woman could live in and take care of him. So, she wants to leave a brand new house, auspicious house, for him and his future.
He always felt that his wife married him for the house, and when his wife died, he knew that his 16 years of life, his wife's love for him, had filled every corner of the house.
