Chapter 24: It's False
Which house to move out? Is it better to rent it?
Xiao Xiao keenly discovered some of the problems in this sentence and looked at his father in surprise.
Since his father divorced his mother, he moved out of the house and purchased property elsewhere, leaving the old house for him and his mother to live in.
There is a saying he said, that house is indeed too old and has a history of decades. Water supply and other infrastructure are not very good.
But the key is that the location of that house is good. Even Yang Jia, after visiting that house before, praised the house in the old city, which is actually very valuable.
Think about it, a street is a commercial center, and every inch of land is valuable.
The old house cannot help but have a large space, and there is even a small yard. How much does it cost?
In addition, although Xiao’s father moved out of that family, he did not say it clearly, but it was actually left to Xiao Xiao and his son, and Xiao Xiao would inherit it in the future.
Now they are asked to move out and rent another one.
Then can the rented one be yours?
Facing Xiao Xiao's surprised eyes, Xiao's father was a little reluctant to look him in the eyes, turned around and clinked glasses with others, while the woman sitting next to him gave Xiao Xiao a proud look.
Xiao Xiao was silent, knowing that the house was taken aback.
Although I am a foreigner and don’t care about these things, I always feel that it’s not appropriate to just give it up for nothing.
At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became lively. No one paid attention to what their family said, just clinking glasses and laughing, and talking about business.
Xiao Xiao was also forgotten in the corner, looking at the world like an outsider.
But beside the woman, there was a five-year-old boy who didn't want to sit honestly and crawled out of the woman's arms. He was not polite at all, and flipped over and over the things in Xiao Xiao's backpack.
Xiao Xiao glanced at him but did not stop him. The woman around him also turned a blind eye and let him flip over there and play.
The child turned the things in Xiao Xiao's bag everywhere, and even climbed to Xiao Xiao's side, and directly reached into Xiao Xiao's pocket, as if he knew that everything on Xiao Xiao was his.
When he took out a gun, his expression became obvious and excited. He couldn't let go of it. He held his hands in his hands and pointed at the people present.
He said "pa" and "pa".
When the woman next to her saw that the child suddenly had a gun in her hand, she knew that it was turned out from Xiao Xiao, and she didn't care, but she was a little disdainful:
"How old are you still playing guns? Are you crazy about the game?"
“…”
During this process, my father did not try to stop him, but the younger brother was close to his elder brother at that time, which was not a bad thing.
But suddenly, his eyes swept over the child's hand and pointed the gun at someone else's gun. He frowned slightly at first, and suddenly his face changed suddenly.
The texture of the gun is wrong.
The heavy weight, the black paint, and the obvious metallic luster and refined parts...
...It's so real.
Just as this idea flashed through his hand, the curious child was already fiddling with him, accidentally opened the safety bolt of the gun, making a slight clicking sound, and then raised it excitedly.
At this moment, Xiao's father suddenly changed his face, and he was stuck in his throat in one breath, and he almost carried it over.
"Swish!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly reached out and took the gun from his younger brother's hand back, closed the insurance quietly, and took it back into his pocket.
"Wow……"
My younger brother was having fun, but was suddenly taken away. He cried in dissatisfaction: "He stole my stuff..."
The father suddenly gasped, feeling like he had a life after a disaster. His eyes were faintly weak, and he looked at Xiao Xiao in disbelief.
"Mom hasn't been easy in the past few years."
At this time, Xiao Xiao looked at his father's horror gaze as if nothing had happened and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you want to take back the house, but buy her another one. Write her name. The area should not be too small. It's best to have an elevator."
As she said that, she thought for a while, and said, "It's better to give her some compensation. She goes to the mall to work every day and does housework, which is so tired."
Facing Xiao Xiao's calm and quiet gaze, Xiao's father had only deep doubts and fear in his eyes, and he didn't dare to refuse. He trembled slightly, "Okay, I'll consider...think."
After hearing this, the woman's face changed drastically. She pulled the little boy over with dissatisfaction and said to Xiao's father: "What did you say?"
Xiao's father suddenly became furious and roared: "Shut up."
The woman was shocked and looked at Xiao's father in disbelief, as if she didn't expect him to lose his temper under such circumstances.
The guests on the table were also shocked, and the atmosphere was silent and awkward.
"Okay, think about it slowly."
Xiao Xiao packed up his backpack, then smiled and stood up and said, "I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow, so I won't wait to eat the cake, that..."
He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't call those two words to a monster. He just smiled and nodded: "Happy birthday to you."
After saying that, he stopped leaving the hotel room with his backpack on his backpack. He could feel that behind him, his father's eyes were particularly frightened.
These monsters who have become humans are quite attentive.
They are indeed actors, they act very seriously and devotedly, but it is indeed difficult for them to cooperate with their performances.
Sitting on the subway to walk towards home, Xiao Xiao looked at the bright lights and the bustling neon lights along the way, and suddenly felt very strange.
It's fake after all, otherwise, how could it be so indifferent?
"Here you come back so early?"
However, after returning home, my mother looked in a good mood. Her own supper was obviously the remaining dumplings at noon. At this time, she was cleaning up while complaining to Xiao Xiao:
"Your dad is still a little conscientious. I just knew that I called you to ask if you have arrived home and how we two have been doing recently."
“…”
Xiao Xiao knew that this was probably the sequelae of the father being scared by him, and he didn't want to talk too much, but just smiled and said, "He didn't mention buying a house?"
“Buy a house?”
My mother was a little surprised: "What kind of house is it good to buy? It's great to live here..."
"Don't look at our house being dilapidated, but the location is so good. It's surrounded by buildings. We are a flat courtyard with a yard, which is very valuable."
"When you get married in the future, let's redecorate it and serve as a new house for you. My wife's family will definitely be satisfied."
“…”
"Mom is still too naive..."
Xiao Xiao thought to himself that the house was written with the name of his father, and now he was thinking about taking it back, and she thought she could live for the rest of her life.
However, Xiao Xiao was too lazy to discuss these things with her at this time, and just returned to the bedroom silently.
It was hard for him to describe the feeling of this dinner. Maybe his father was really scared by his gun, but his experience was not good either.
There was no sense of belonging among the smiling faces of the table.
I knew very well in my heart, and these people also knew very well that they were just an outsider, and every gaze that came from around me was not very friendly.
Even if they smile intimately, they can still feel the bone-bone cold.
This coldness made Xiao Xiao feel very lonely.
Perhaps, it will only be relieved when you are with Yang Jia or RuanRan.
But everyone has their own lives, so how can they always stay together?
So, what can bring you a sense of security?
He raised his head and poked his head out of the window. He saw three dog heads brushed side by side on the wall, struggling to stick out his tongue from afar, looking like he was smiling.
Xiao Xiao also smiled at the three cute hunting dogs through the fences of the two families:
"Maybe, I can really strengthen them once?"
“…”
Although it’s a bit risky, it’s good to bet on dogs occasionally. What if I win the bet?
In addition, if I am not in a hurry to give Yang Jia those 100 points, it seems that I can not only strengthen these three cute hunting dogs once, but also have the possibility of buying other things?
If, next time facing a distorted creature or a depressing atmosphere, an old record player plays timely resentful music...
...The experience probably won't be too bad?
...
At the same time, in a high-end apartment, Xiao's young and beautiful wife Aunt Wang was also frowning and falling.
She was in a bad mood, not only because her husband scolded herself loudly in front of so many people, because of her ex-wife's affairs, but also because Xiao Xiao made his baby cry, and he didn't even say a word.
"Stop shaking your face."
After she fell for a long time, Xiao’s father, who was sitting on the sofa smoking, frowned and looked over, saying, “Didn’t you see it today?”
"What do you see?"
Aunt Wang said with a cold face: "I can't forget them, and I still want to buy a house with that yellow-faced woman?"
"That's the house the shepherd wants, and it's your name written. What if you want to come here directly?"
"Stop talking."
Father Xiao frowned, and was still a little uneasy inside. He was silent for a moment before saying, "I told you about him being sick before?"
"What disease is not sick?"
Aunt Wang was angry as soon as she heard this and said, "It's just him pretending, I'm just afraid that you will divorce that yellow-faced woman."
"It's so good now. Haha, I've been pretending to be sick for four years and I've just pretended to be useless."
“…”
"you……"
Xiao's father felt it was difficult to communicate. After a while, he shook his head heavily and sighed in a low voice: "I thought he was pretending to be sick before. It was hard to guess the child's thoughts, but..."
