Chapter 610: People go to high places

(35)

When you see Bing'er and Qing'er, you will understand what it means to be "rich to make ghosts grind"; when you see Yu'er and Jie'er, you will know what it means to be "smart but mistaken by smart".

When Qing'er returned to Beijing, her parents had retired and settled abroad for many years, with her brother. Didn't say anything about the climate like my in-laws and parents did. The villa and several houses are in her charge, we say that she is a "cunning rabbit", often have to help her move, sometimes just move in and clean up, someone sees that she wants to rent, and has to move to another one.

When the weather is nice, she usually takes turns inviting us to lunch with her and chat for an afternoon. In the winter, when I don't go out, she comes to a restaurant near my house for lunch, and anyway, she has money to drive here, so I don't have to eat lunch alone.

"Aren't your parents and brother planning to come back?" I asked.

Actually, I also know that it is a vain question. I think of my roommate Pan Jing, whose home is Batang, and when she returned from her first vacation, she told me that she thought Batang was so small and dirty. She said that while she was walking down the street, she suddenly felt a hot palm, and guess what? Someone spit on her palm! She felt embarrassed, so she walked home with a mouthful of phlegm and washed her hands. I wash it several times a day, and it's still disgusting.

When I heard her say that she was "carrying" a mouthful of phlegm, I felt that she might not go back to Batang in the future. Unexpectedly, just two months later, her father came to visit her at school, saying that "the wind in Chengdu is fragrant", saying that when he was in Batang, his nose was old and unbreathable, and as soon as he arrived in the Chengdu Plain, he was clear, and he was in a very happy mood.

At that time, Chengdu was developing Shuangliu County, and buying a house would also send a household registration, and Pan's father immediately started to buy a house. It is estimated that Pan will not go back to Batang in Erlang Mountain in the next two academic years, because she will not see her in the dormitory on weekends.

I can see that my child's parents are the same as Pan's father, people go to high places, not to mention that they can still see their children in high places. Unlike my in-laws and parents, who put too much effort and expectation into their eldest son, they can't take it back and live in another place.

My husband and his eldest brother have returned to their hometown, and my sister-in-law continues to stay to finish the work and get paid and then go back, which is what my mother-in-law means, and there is nothing to do at home, so it is better to rely on her.

The sister-in-law's job is to pack bags of milk into boxes, and she has to do 12 hours a day, and she can get about 1,000 yuan for food and housing. Looking at her very content, I feel that women like mechanical labor, and can take the trouble to do the same thing, in the countryside, cooking, feeding livestock, farming...... The type of work is too complicated, and the heart is tired.

I encouraged Qing'er to sell the two suites in her name, and then buy a new house in the future, so that she would save the cost of major repairs and the fact that she couldn't sell them at a good price, but she didn't want to toss. She was afraid that before the house price fell, the money would have been spent. Although she doesn't have any relatives to borrow money, as long as she has money in her hand, there are always some fundraisers staring at it.
