Brothers second and third

Chapter 28

Our life goes on, peacefully without any ripples. After staying in this kind of life for a long time, it feels like our life is passing away like this quietly, and we will eventually grow old and disappear.Of course, if I have my second child with me all the time, I would also like this kind of life.One night I saw something about Tibet on the Internet. At that time, many backpackers were riding the Sichuan-Tibet line. I saw it and my heart was about to move, although I knew that it took me and my second child to spend so long doing such crazy things. It's unlikely, but I still drool over the beauty of Tibet.Although we can't ride the Sichuan-Tibet line, we can fly there to travel, in such a holy place, so close to the sky, I really want to breathe the air of the plateau.I told my second child about this idea, and my second child said, "No problem, I really want to go too, after we buy a house!" So my second child and I worked harder to save money.

The second child has worked in a state-owned enterprise for the past few years and was promoted to a small project manager.For state-owned enterprises, it is already very good for a person without any back door to be able to sit in this position by himself.The company I work for has been doing well in recent years, my job is fairly easy, and my salary has also increased a lot.So my second child and I started planning to buy a house. The second child hopes to buy a big house. He thinks that when both parents get old, they can take over and live together. But in this way, our monthly repayment pressure will be greater in the future. .What I mean is to buy a smaller house first. After all, we are still young. After a few years, we have a solid financial foundation before changing to a bigger house. At that time, we will take both parents to live, and our financial pressure will be relatively high. Smaller ones can take better care of them too.After discussing for a long time, we decided to buy a small house for the time being.At that time, housing prices in Harbin had already started to skyrocket. My second child and I often looked at the houses last month. When we called again this month to inquire, the prices there had already increased a lot.So we were even more anxious about buying a house.

One day when I was working in the company, I received a call from a distant relative. It turned out that his child was going to study in Harbin. He knew that I was here and wanted to invite me to help report on weekends, so that I could take care of his children in the future.He readily agreed, and then went back to tell the second child about it at night, the second child was a little disappointed: "I originally planned to go to see the house with you this week, we should make a decision right away, we can't always rent a house like this Bar."

I comforted him: "It's not urgent, you can go and see it next week, take your time."

The second child said: "Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow. The one I saw last time is quite suitable. Let's discuss it after we're done. We can sign the contract this weekend and forget it."

I said as I served him a meal, "You can decide for yourself."

The second child said: "I always feel uneasy without my own home."

The house we are optimistic about is a small one-bedroom, one-living room, more than 50 square meters. The south-facing existing house has simple decoration, and the price is within the expectations of my second child and me. The environment of the community is not bad, and the infrastructure is basically complete.The only downside is that it is a bit small. The second child said that anyway, I will change to a bigger house in the future. Now it is better to be smaller than nothing. Now the rent for the house is enough to pay off the loan.After the two of us settled down, the second child went to go through various procedures such as a single certificate.Another busy day on Saturday, and he left the house early on Sunday.I woke up in the morning and went to the station to pick up my younger brother. He started reporting at school today. A distant relative entrusted me with a lot of help. If I promised, I couldn’t neglect it.

I went to the school to go through various formalities, and then I was assigned to the dormitory to tidy the bedding. I was so tired that I was sweating profusely.I took him to eat something briefly at noon, went to buy some necessary daily necessities in the afternoon, and finally settled down. Although he is a distant relative, after all, it is more cordial to come so far away.This little guy has a sweet mouth, one mouthful and one brother, and he calls me like a superhero. He rushes forward when doing things, uh... After all these years in the society, I feel dizzy after being flattered by a kid It seems that I am really stupid enough.

After tidying up, I was sitting in their dormitory to rest when my second child called me. The kid was very excited on the phone and asked me, "Guess what?"

No need to guess, the contract must be signed!I asked him, "Have you got the house yet?"

Second child: "After signing the contract, the house will be ours after paying the money tomorrow and going through the formalities."

Listening to the cheerful voice of the second child on the phone, I also feel happy.The second child wants to have a big dinner to celebrate at night. I thought that this little brother just came to Harbin, and I couldn't bear to leave him alone in the dormitory, so I took him with me without thinking too much.

The second child booked a table in a restaurant, and I took my younger brother there. Looking at the scenery flowing outside the car window, it was the first time I felt that I really belonged to this city, and that I would have my real home here. Thinking of this, There was a smile on his face.

The younger brother asked me: "Brother, have you bought a house yet?"

"Yeah, I just signed the contract today."

"Brother is amazing, you can afford a house here."

I listened and smiled but didn't say anything. This kid has been kissing my ass all day, and he's still doing it.

When we arrived at the place, the second child waited there early, led the younger brother in and sat down, and the second child greeted the waiter to serve the food.The little brother looked at the three of us and asked me, "Why didn't my sister-in-law come?"

It was only then that I remembered that I had told my family that I had a very affectionate girlfriend here, so my family no longer urged me to get married, but sometimes they would say that they wanted me to take my wife home to have a look.It seems that the relatives in my hometown also know about this.Buying a house is such a big deal today, so naturally the "she" I'm talking about should be there.I blamed myself a little in my heart, and I was happy for a while without thinking too much, so I brought my younger brother here.

I smiled and said, "She is busy today, so she won't come here."

I introduced the second child to him again: "The purchase of the house was all helped by my friend, who is my college classmate."

The younger brother smiled and said, "Brother, then you have to thank him very much, I can help you with such a big matter."

I smiled and said: "That's that." When he secretly looked at the second child, there was no unpleasant expression on his face, and he said while drinking tea: "Where is it."

The second child asked, "Is this your younger brother? Just came here to study?"

I said, "Well, I just signed up today."

The second child said: "Study hard, don't be like me at that time, knowing how to play all day except sleeping."

The younger brother said: "With my brother as an example, I will not be too bad in the future and embarrass him."

The meal was quite depressing, although I was talking and laughing, but I looked at the younger brother's expression, then looked at the second child, and felt really stupid, why would I bring my younger brother here.

After dinner in the evening, I said goodbye to my second child at the entrance of the hotel, and called a car to take my younger brother back to school. On the way, this little guy rolled his eyes. He asked me which district I bought the house in?I said that I will tell you later when you are familiar with the environment, and he asked when will I bring him to meet my sister-in-law?I said I'll talk about it next time when I have time, but he said oh and didn't say anything more.

After returning home at night, I opened the door and turned off the lights in the house. I took off my shoes and walked into the bedroom. The second child had already gone to bed.I never told my second child about my family urging me to get married, let alone the lie I told my family.Although the second child did not show any displeasure at the dinner table today, and cooperated with me to continue lying, I was still worried that the second child would be unhappy.

After simply washing his face and climbing onto the bed, he gently hugged his second child tightly from behind, and he hummed: "Are you back?"

"Well. Why did you go to bed so early today?"

"I've been busy all day today, and I'm a little tired."

I touched my second child's belly and said, "Aren't you angry at the meal just now?"

Second child: "Why are you angry?"

I paused: "Nothing."

The second child turned over and looked at me: "Okay, I'm not angry. I just thought, how long can we keep this secret from our family?"

I sighed: "I don't know, I don't even know how to tell them."

The old hand gently stroked my face, and sighed along with me: "It's okay, let's take our time."

I approached my second child and lay on the same pillow with him, staring at the dim curtains in a daze.He and I have been evading. I lied to my family that I have a girlfriend in Harbin. They don’t worry about me too much now, but sometimes they urge me to get married.I know that the family of the second child is also urging him. Last time when he answered the phone on the balcony, I heard him. His pressure is no less than mine.If we came out to our family, there were so many variables that neither of us had the guts to do it yet.But seeing that I am getting older and getting more and more pressured, it is impossible to just keep escaping like this, and I have to face what I have to face.

I lay next to my second child, breathing the unique smell of his body. Over the years, only his presence can make me feel at ease. If one day he is gone, I don’t know how to continue my life.

The second child shook my hand and said, "Don't think too much, we will always find a way."

I'm not sure myself: "There should be!"

Second child: "Come on, don't think about it. How about going to see the house with me tomorrow?"

I said, "Okay, then I have to ask for leave tomorrow."

"No hurry, just call tomorrow morning and ask for half a day off. Let's see how our home will be arranged in the future."

When it comes to the house, the topic becomes much easier.My second child and I lay in bed and began to imagine how we should arrange our new home. He wanted to customize a wine cabinet in the kitchen, I wanted to make a flower stand on the balcony, and we wanted to buy a big bed in the bedroom. Second, the furniture we bought is too rigid, so it is better to find someone to do it, and the price is not much worse. The most important thing is that we can draw the drawings by ourselves and let the master do the processing.It seems like a good idea to think about it. We can design our own home by ourselves, which is unique.That night, the two of us chatted about all the good things in the future, and fell asleep without knowing it.
