sensible

Mao Qingdou was sitting on the ground fiddling with wooden boards, while Lu Qiubai passed by and asked, "What is this?"

Mao Qingdou pretended to be mysterious: "You will find out later."

Lu Qiubai squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, then said, "It's wrong, it didn't happen like this."

Maoqingdou scratched behind her ears and said, "Strange, why is it wrong?"

Lu Qiubai lightly picked up a small wooden board, picked up the semi-finished products that Mao Qingdou had thrown aside, put them together, locked them firmly with screws, and threw them to Mao Qingdou again.

Mao Qingdou took a look and suddenly realized: "Lu Qiubai, you really belong to me!"

Lu Qiubai continued to squat on the ground without answering, silently watching Mao Qingdou assemble a pile of semi-finished products one by one, and finally assembled it into something like a small cabinet.

Mao Qingdou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Look, from now on, you can put hats, teapots, chargers and other small things here. The most important thing is that you only need to take them in when you want to read in the future. Don't run into the house any more."

Lu Qiubai looked at it, nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad."

Mao Qingdou said, "It's just too difficult to find a cabinet with the same style as the original one. The furniture in this room are all in the style of the last century."

Lu Qiubai took a glass of water and put it on the tea table, patted the sofa, and signaled Mao Qingdou to sit down.Maoqingdou picked up the water glass and sat down to take a sip. Lu Qiubai said, "This hut was originally where my parents lived, so it is in the style of the last century."

Mao Qingdou choked, put down the water glass and said, "Um... Lu Qiubai, I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness."

Lu Qiubai said: "It's okay, did I tell you not to mention it?"

Mao Qingdou was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

"Did you spend a lot of money these days?" Lu Qiubai asked suddenly.

"Ah? Why did you say that suddenly?"

"Cabinets, small stools, computer desks, pillows, sofa covers, juicers, and other small things, don't these cost money?"

Mao Qingdou looked around in the direction Lu Qiubai was pointing at, and realized that he had added so many things unknowingly these days, and he still felt that it was far from enough.

If you live alone, you can do whatever you want, but there is Lu Qiubai living in the house, so he can't be wronged along with him, right?So since the first month's salary was paid, he kept moving things into the house.Not to mention, after a few months, the house has added a lot of fireworks, and the house is no longer cold.

"Hey, that's all? It doesn't cost much. Besides, the company pays you so well, and even gave you a year-end bonus before the Chinese New Year. This amount of money is nothing. There must be something new in the new year, right?"

Lu Qiubai said: "Is the year-end bonus plus the previous savings enough to buy a house?"

Mao Qingdou said, "Where can it be? It's still far away."

As he spoke, Mao Qingdou dug out a thick notebook from the bottom shelf of the closet in his room, spread it out on the coffee table, and calculated carefully.

"The balance last month was 5 four cents, and I spent 890 cents on vegetables last month..."

While Mao Qingdou was reading, she took out her phone and called up the calculator to calculate.

"Hey, that's not right, is there a mistake in the calculation?"

Lu Qiubai stretched out a hand silently and said, "Show me."

Mao Qingdou took the notebook and pasted it in front of Lu Qiubai, saying, "Come on, Lu Qiubai, help me see where I made a mistake."

The cover of the notebook in front of me is made of cowhide, the inside pages are yellowed, and the edges are dilapidated. It looks more primitive and outdated than the furniture in the house.

Lu Qiubai flipped a page casually, and it was filled with dense words, carefully recording every bill.

Vegetables are 0.8 yuan, ribs are 13.5 yuan, bus fare is 1 yuan, and roadside pick-ups are 0.5 yuan.

Looking down, the last two lines of small characters caught Lu Qiubai's attention.

The first line: birthday gifts, spending 3988 yuan.

The second line: birthday gift, mobile phone credit credit, 10 yuan.

The dates in the two lines are all classified on November 11th.

Lu Qiubai asked, "What is this?"

Mao Qingdou squinted her eyes and said, "It's nothing. I just bought a gift last time."

Lu Qiubai said, "What about the next one?"

Maoqingdou took it over and looked at it, but said nothing.

Lu Qiubai said: "One is for income and the other is for output. There is a lot of difference. Be careful next time when you write, and don't copy the above." After finishing speaking, he turned a few pages and did the math on the entry, saying , "It's wrong here."

"Really? Let me take a look." Mao Qingdou took the notebook and calculated it, and praised, "As soon as Lu Qiubai makes a move, you will know if it is there!"

Lu Qiubai turned to the last page and was a little surprised when he saw the number: "You saved so much money?"

Mao Qingdou said, "Where is it so much? It's less than a hundred thousand, not enough to buy a house."

Lu Qiubai said: "The house price is [-]. Buying a smaller one should be enough."

"Where is enough?! It's still so far away." Mao Qingdou counted with his fingers, "Look, if I buy a fifty-square-meter house, seven thousand will cost 35. That's not an astronomical figure. My 9 I have saved Wando since high school. Do you think I have to fight for a few more years?"

Lu Qiubai said: "You don't know, you can still buy a house with a loan in this world?"

Mao Qingdou was taken aback for a moment.

The next day, Mao Qingdou followed Lu Qiubai's instructions out of the office building, got into Lu Qiubai's car, and went to the construction site of the affiliated company.

Mao Qingdou sat in the co-pilot, and said to the man in the driver's seat, "Old Hu, you drive really steadily, just like Lu Qiubai, did you teach him?"

The driver, Old Hu, smiled and said, "Yes, the young master is stable and smart, so it's normal for him to drive well."

Mao Qingdou said: "Don't be humble, Hu, it's probably because you teach well. Speaking of which, when I was learning to drive, the instructor was so bad-tempered that I was too scared to drive."

Old Hu smiled and said, "How can I compare with others' professional skills? But let alone, I really taught cars for a while before I met Mr. Lu."

Maoqingdou's eyes lit up: "Really? Then teach me when you have time."

Old Hu said: "Okay. As long as you have time, I will accompany you."

Chatting like this, the car soon came to a stop at a construction site. Mao Qingdou went in wearing a safety helmet to look around and then came out. Lao Hu was already waiting outside.

"Mr. Mao, have you finished reading so soon?"

"After reading it, it's strange. I always feel as if I saw an acquaintance."

Old Hu hurriedly said: "Mr. Mao's acquaintance? Where is it? I'll go and invite him over."

"No, no, no." Mao Qingdou waved his hands, "Maybe I misunderstood. Let's go back to the company."

"Mr. Mao, Mr. Lu said that there is no need to rush back to the company. There is something he wants you to look at."

Mao Qingdou asked suspiciously, "What's so sneaky? I didn't mention it when I was in the office."

Old Hu laughed and said, "Come here."

Mao Qingdou followed Lao Hu around and turned around until they arrived at a magnificent building.

High dome, golden lobby.Mao Qingdou asked, "Where?"

A woman in a standard uniform came over with the documents, with a standard smile with eight teeth on her face, and said, "This is Mr. Mao, right?"

Mao Qingdou was even more puzzled.

The woman continued: "Mr. Mao, is this the first time you have come to our project? Do you still know about this area? Here is a detailed introduction to our project. Please follow me."

Mao Qingdou followed a few steps, and came to a huge sand table, on which there were models of high-rise buildings, shining little by little.Mao Qingdou immediately understood.

The sales lady continued to introduce: "The location of our project is very superior, the transportation is convenient, there is a kindergarten next to the project, and there is a planned swimming pool in the community. You and your family can live here happily in the future. More importantly, , this project is well-decorated, you can move in with your bags, and it is an existing house!"

Mao Qingdou came out of the sales department with a bunch of documents, and she was very excited: "This is really my ideal house! The key is that after buying it, Sister Diu can live in it immediately after she comes out!"

Mao Qingdou sat in the cab and called Lu Qiubai: "Lu Qiubai, the house you recommended is awesome. And the price is just right. The developer also said that regular customers would recommend it, and they would give me a discount. This saves me a lot of money." A lot of money."

On the phone, Lu Qiubai's tone was very flat: "Clarify the situation first, bring me the information, and then make a decision, don't be impulsive."

Mao Qingdou hung up the phone and proudly raised her foot, causing the steering wheel to shake from side to side and the car horn to beep.Suddenly there was an 'ouch' sound from ahead, and Mao Qingdou saw a person fall in front of her.

Lao Hu was smoking a cigarette by the side of the road, when he heard the sound, he immediately turned his head, saw the posture on the ground, quickly stubbed out the cigarette butt and helped him up.Mao Qingdou also got out of the car and saw an old lady lying on the ground with her head on the wheel.Mao Qingdou panicked immediately, and said, "Don't, old lady, what's going on?! Hurry up and give me a hand!"

The old lady lay on the ground, yelling "Ouch, ouch".

In the hospital, Mao Qingdou chased after the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how is the old lady? Is the injury serious?"

The doctor took the film and said: "According to the CT, there are only some slight tissue contusions."

The old lady sat on the bed and cried: "Liar, my whole body hurts, and I can't even straighten my waist. I'm afraid my old bones are useless." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes and tears flowed down her cheeks. down.

Suddenly a voice came from the door: "Mom! What's wrong with you!"

The old lady sat on the bed, and when she saw the man coming in at the door, she cried even louder.

"Daughter! Why did you come here? The two of them hit me, and even colluded with the doctor to say that they didn't hit me."

A thin figure rushed to the old lady's bed and cried: "Mom, when I'm not here, they will bully you. No, they bully us orphans and widows, no one to rely on! Mom, don't cry, I will help you!" call the shots."

The girl sobbed while wiping her mother's tears.

Mao Qingdou was dumbfounded, and said, "This... girl... I think there is some misunderstanding."

The girl turned her head, revealing a beautiful face, which was still flushed from the violent running just now.She strode up to Mao Qingdou and said angrily, "I still want to argue!"
