Chapter 723 The Old Man and the Old Woman
After Old Diao finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it. His expression seemed to be very excited. He took a deep breath and closed the windows tightly.
He took out his phone.
The hand holding the phone was trembling, and the cigarette in his mouth was also trembling.
Old Diao used his usual mobile phone. His address book was filled with calls from customers and work companions. He directly opened the keyboard and entered the number. It could be seen that he was calling his family.
In order to protect the closest people in the undercover journalism industry, they usually memorized the numbers of their families, rather than keeping them in the catalogue.
“Old woman, have you eaten yet?” The old man was calling Sister-in-law Diao, but when he opened his mouth, it was a little difficult to swallow. He took a deep breath of cigarette to cover up his excitement.
“I’ve eaten. The baby has already gone to school. What’s wrong?” Sister-in-law Diao’s voice became nervous. Although she and Old Diao’s husband and wife of many years rarely communicated in their hearts, communication and the like, they lived together every day. You earned money, and I ran the family. It seemed like there was no communication, but there was a very good understanding between them.
Although Old Diao hurriedly smoked and tried to conceal his swallowing, Sister-in-law Diao immediately noticed.
This was an instinct that only couples who had been together for many years would have.
“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?” Sister-in-law Diao asked again.
Old Diao took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his emotions. Then, he took a heavy puff of his cigarette, “Nothing happened, old woman. In the fifth or sixth ring of the imperial capital, see if there is a small apartment. Buy a cigarette.”
With that, he heavily spat out the cigarette.
As he took a deep breath, he spat it out.
Just like how he had spat out years of painstaking sadness, he spat out the white-eyed and disrespectful person he had eaten when he was a driver in Xingsheng all along the way.
The self-esteem of the people at the bottom seemed to be easily trampled upon.
Now, Old Diao heavily breathed out this breath, and the smoke and ashes dispersed.
“Oh.” Sister-in-law Diao was surprisingly calm. “It was your friend who wanted to buy it. Well, what did your friend want? I’ll show them when I’m done with the housework.”
Helping her friends was something that Sister-in-law Diao often did. She was a housewife and had no friends. Every time, she helped her friends in Old Diao. What friend’s mother is sick, Sister-in-law Diao will send soup to the hospital to serve every day; A friend’s wife is divorced, no one takes care of the children, and Sister-in-law Diao will help take care of them for a few days.
Not as busy as the big families. They were all small things, but they were all doing their best.
These little trivial things made Old Diao famous among his friends.
Buying a house? How could he buy a house by himself? A low-level person with a good boss, can earn more money is right. But buying a house! What was the imperial capital? Buying a house in the imperial capital? !
If everyone had dreams, then buying a house in the imperial capital was something Sister-in-law Diao did not dare to imagine, buying a house in the imperial capital? That’s someone else’s business.
He could earn more than a hundred thousand yuan to return to his hometown and repair his old house.
“No, we bought it ourselves. Old woman, one million. I earned one million.” Old Diao took another deep breath, his eyes extremely red and moist.
Old Diao was a rough man and also a tough man. Although he was excited, although he was excited, and although it seemed like years of depression had been swept away, it made people feel refreshed, but what was there to cry about?
Tears did not fall down.
“Buy it yourself? Really?!” Sister-in-law Diao was stunned for at least half a minute before asking in disbelief, “You, you, you didn’t break the law, did you? A million?! I say, old man, it doesn’t matter where we live. Don’t do anything illegal! You’re not cheating your boss, are you? Boss Gao is a good person. You can’t dig up his vegetables for money!”
Sister-in-law Diao has no culture, but bones.
This kind of bone, can be called the correct three views, outlook on life, world outlook, values. She did not understand such a profound concept. She only knew that Boss Gao, whom she had only seen a few times, was a benefactor and a good person. Being a person was like growing vegetables in a vegetable garden. No matter how good the vegetables of other people’s families looked, no one would notice or pick two of them.
Old Diao can’t steal Boss Gao’s food. He was starving to death, so he couldn’t pick it.
One million! Why is there a million all of a sudden? A woman, a million dollars really frightened her.
“Really, old man, it doesn’t matter where we live. Although the bungalows we rent now are leaky from time to time, it doesn’t matter if it’s bad here or there. No matter how much money you have, it’s only three meals of white rice and an old kang. Old man, I’ll follow you. You can’t do anything for money without a conscience!”
Sister-in-law Diao grew more and more excited and afraid.
Sister-in-law Diao was a woman who was willing to spend a hard time with men when she was young. In her opinion, this kind of hard time was not hard. As long as she lived together, nothing would be hard.
“Old woman, this money is distributed by the boss. You don’t know the specifics of a case. Anyway, it’s just right. Don’t be too busy. Go and see the house. I’ll buy it in a few days.” Old Diao said with a smile on his face, but his emotions seemed to get even more excited. “Very soon, we won’t have to look at people’s faces and move around. We have a family.”
With two children, even a seven-year-old dog would find it hard to find a house.
It was cheap, and he didn’t dislike the house where he had two noisy children, so it was even harder to find it.
Often, after a period of rent, the landlord will change the way he raises the price. Moving, moving again and again, Empire people have very heavy feelings for home. He had never rented a house outside, nor had he experienced the feeling of living under someone else’s feet, nor did he understand the emotions behind it.
‘”We have a family now,” made Old Diao, a man with strong bones, feel uncomfortable.
He seemed to have noticed that his son was seriously ill that night, and the landlord actually took the opportunity to raise the price by 1,000 yuan. The rent was paid once a month instead of once a year. This was an opportunity to drive them away. That night, Old Diao carried his seriously ill son on his back and had no choice but to move.
The howling winter wind and the bone-piercing rain of snow particles drove the family out of the house overnight and went to their good friend who dug the sewer. Although Sister-in-law Diao did not complain at all.
But the more his woman didn’t complain, the more guilty and frustrated Old Diao felt.
Now, all of this will dissipate, what’s wrong with the small apartment? Even if it was only forty to fifty, this was still his own territory, his own home!
He was no longer afraid of being kicked out in the middle of the night. He no longer had to worry about broken electrical appliances. Repair it. It was too expensive. This was something from someone else’s house. If he didn’t repair it, he wouldn’t need it.
“Really?” After Sister-in-law Diao finished saying these two words, she didn’t say anything for a long time.
“Yes.” After a long time, Sister-in-law Diao did not ask any further, ‘”What do you mean we have a family? We’re together. We’re family. Alright, I’ll go take a look. It’s good that my daughter didn’t go to school. I’ll take her to see the house. Then old man, you can go and work with Boss Gao. Thank you so much.” She laughed softly on the phone.
The last sentence caused Sister-in-law Diao’s voice to tremble. She hurriedly stopped and hung up the phone.
Old Diao, who was immersed in each other, could naturally hear the excitement of the old woman, Sister-in-law Diao.
Hearing Sister-in-law Diao’s soft laughter and the phrase’family is home ‘, tears flowed down her cheeks.
He swiftly reached out his hand to wipe it away.
“Old woman, our good days are coming. Let’s begin!” As he spoke, he pulled open the car door and walked out.
The old man, Old Diao, was not old. He was thirty-five or sixteen years old, and the old woman, Sister-in-law Diao, was not old either. She was one or two years younger than Old Diao. That’s what they call everyday.
Young Sister-in-law Diao is a woman who is willing to live a hard life with men.
The old man, Old Diao, hoped that he would be a man who would spend a good life with this woman in his old age.
Old Diao quickly walked towards the elevator, just in time for a few people carrying cameras to walk out of the elevator. When they saw him, they immediately bent down and said, “Hello, Brother Hang.”
This was Xing Sheng’s companion, carrying a camera and going out to work.
“Brother Diao, it’s very noisy up there. Hurry up and go up.” One of them bowed politely and said, “Here comes the Great Official. He is making a fuss.”
