After the rain of Jiangcheng, I took a tired step, took out the key to open our small home, Poly garden community. In front of us, there is a house of 83 square meters, excluding the public area, which is the result of our hard work for 7 years. My girlfriend and I worked together to scrape together the down payment and finally bought the house and put both our names on the deed.
I am a person from the countryside, no connections, just an ordinary third-class undergraduate. In order to buy a house, we scrimped and saved together more than 300,000 yuan for the down payment. Together with the girlfriend's contribution of more than 200,000 yuan, we finally won the house worth 1.6 million yuan.
After handing over the apartment in May last year, we spent 70,000 yuan on a simple renovation and then couldn't wait to move in. Now, as newlyweds, we are about to have a lovely dinner together.
Throwing off my fatigue, I put on my slippers and headed to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for dinner. I will cook the meal in advance to create a warm home atmosphere for us.
After preparing dinner, Zhang Xun rides an electric bike to pick up his girlfriend, a hard worker who works as a surgical nurse in a top-three hospital. Although she is very hard every day, Zhang Xun is willing to do his best to take care of her.
After about 20 minutes, Zhang Xun washed his face with cold water, hoping to dilute the fatigue on his face. Then he picked up the key and went out. He was whistling while riding when suddenly a traffic policeman appeared in front of him. Zhang Xun's heart skipped a beat as he stopped the car and put on his helmet. About 10 minutes later, he saw his girlfriend, who was looking at the entrance of the hospital.
"Du, get in the car!" Zhang Xun said to her as he turned. Her name is Du Jing, and they became boyfriend and girlfriend five years ago. When he just met before, he habitually called her Xiao Du, and later wanted to change his mind, but Du Jing did not let, said Xiao Du sounded more comfortable.
"Put your helmet on in the back. There's a traffic cop in front." Zhang Xun reminded.
"You don't wear it every time, and you call me." Du Jing put on her helmet and smiled.
Du Jing squeezed Zhang Xun's waist and said, "Come home!"
'Go home! Zhang Xun responded with a smile.
In fact, Du Jing works so close to home that she can ride an electric bike. But Zhang Xun had long wanted to buy an electric car to facilitate her commute, but Du Jing insisted that he personally pick her up.
"Having a boyfriend pick me up every day, as a girl, I feel very happy." This is Du Jing's original words, Zhang Xun did not say much after listening to what, just honestly abide by the "leadership" instructions.
Soon they returned home, Du Jing threw the bag in the hand, slumped on the sofa. Zhang Xun poured a glass of warm water for her, then put her legs on his knees and gently kneaded them.
"Why is it so hard today?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"Oh, don't mention it, tomorrow the department will receive the leadership of the Health Commission to inspect, we not only have to take care of patients, but also have to engage in cleaning and hygiene, can not be tired?" Du Jing while complaining, while drinking Zhang Xun handed over warm water.
"Touch fish if you can, my future wife, you must not be tired." Zhang Xun joked.
Du Jing white him a glance, and then picked up the phone began to look.
"Take a rest, then, and I'll call you when the food is ready." Zhang Xun put Du Jing's feet back on the sofa and then went to the kitchen to get busy.
He made two dishes and a soup: braised crucian carp, stir-fried baby vegetables, and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. After Zhang Xun had finished his meal, he shouted into the living room, "Xiao Du, the meal is ready!"
Du Jing slowly stood up, walked to the table, took the bowl handed over by Zhang Xun, and began to complain: "Next week will be transferred to the night shift, finished, my skin will become worse."
"Why don't you change your job?" Zhang Xun made a mistake and said softly.
Du Jing gave him a look and said disapprovingly, "It's easy for you to say, to change jobs, except to work in the hospital, I don't know anything, there is no other choice."
"And the family has a mortgage payment of more than 4,000 a month." When Zhang Xun heard this, he mumbled and fell silent and did not speak again.
In addition to the sound of two people eating at home, a quiet atmosphere. After a long silence, Du Jing suddenly looked at Zhang Xun, smiled, and said softly, "I have something to discuss with you."
'What's the matter? Zhang Xun inquiry path.
"I want to get my dad." Du Jing's voice trailed off.
Both are only children and come from single-parent families. Zhang Xun's native village is located on the border of Hubei and Jiangxi provinces. When he was ten, his father broke his head riding a bike after a night of drinking and died shortly after. It was his mother who raised him.
Du Jing's hometown is in Guizhou, and there is only her father in the family. Her mother passed away last year due to complications from the epidemic.
"Ok, when we finish eating, you call your uncle to discuss it." Zhang Xun stuffed a mouthful of soup into his mouth and said, "Anyway, when we get married and have children, it will be our own home, and we can take good care of our uncle together."
