The man in front of me, whose cheeks were sunken, his face was sallow, his hair was sparse, and he was about to be bald, turned out to be...

"Dad Tongtong?"

Jiang Xi shouted to the man almost without recognizing it.

The man looked at us listlessly, and was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red and said, "It's your family of three? It's really rare to meet you. It's so great to meet you today! I was just about to look for you, but I don't know the house number of your house, and there is no phone number for you. I want to tell you something. Can you give me some time? Ah? Is that OK?"

He looked at us almost with a begging expression, as if he was afraid that we would not agree.

Jiang Xi and I looked at each other and guessed that he was sick when he saw him, but we couldn't imagine that he could feel like he was exhausted in such a short time.

My husband and wife followed him to the bench in the community and sat down. Jiangdong went to the amusement facilities not far away.

"How could this happen? What happened?" I asked in confusion.

"Cough!" Tongtong's father sighed deeply, then his eyes were dull, as if he was not focused, "I never believed in retribution before, until the retribution was my turn. I believed it, and I finally understood the saying, "God wants you to be crazy before you perish." I was so crazy, abandoning my wife and daughter, and I was not happy for a few days, and I found that I was really deceived by that woman. Before getting married, she was gentle. After getting married, she only thought about asking me for money to buy this and that for her daughter, and she didn't even do housework. She wanted me to do it. I spent all these years with Tongtong's mother, but she hadn't let me do housework..."

Perhaps when people are experiencing pain, their hearts will become particularly fragile. When they say this, Tongtong's father shed tears like a child who was wronged.

However, Jiang Xi and I did not show any sympathy, and we seemed to be unable to sympathize with him.

He wiped the corners of his eyes and then said in a deep voice, "I have cancer! And it's the kind of person who has no symptoms before. Once the symptoms appear, when they go to the hospital for examination... it's late. I know that this is pure retribution! But is God too cruel to me and doesn't even give me a chance to repent. Before I'm leaving this world, I can't even have a hot meal, um..."

As he said that, he started crying, crying like a helpless old man.

"Where is your new wife? Can't she take care of you?" Jiang Xi asked.

"Well! Don't mention it. Before I got married to her, I bought this house in Juxx. I was also careful. Before getting married, I asked her to sign a pre-marital property agreement. She agreed that this house was not her share. Originally, this house... was saved by Tongtong's mother with me. I was reluctant to give it to Tongtong's mother, and I couldn't give it to her. Even if I like her again, I have known her for a short time. She happily agreed before getting married, and said that my approach was right, but after getting married, it slowly began to change."

He seemed to be tired after talking too much. He took a deep breath and continued, "Not only did she want to take care of my salary card, she also restricted me from buying things for Tongtong. From time to time, she always asked me to add her name to the house book. If I disagreed, she would make a fuss with me and get angry, so she would not cook for me. Even the life between husband and wife became a bargaining chip for her negotiations with me. If she did not agree to her request, she would not live a married life with me. Gradually, our relationship became worse and worse, and I also discovered her badness. Suddenly, she felt that she was not as good as Tongtong's mother..."

He said, covering his face with regret.

Jiang Xi and I listened quietly. There were so many things that we could guess without asking any more.

"When I just had the idea of ​​divorceing her and then making up with Tongtong's mother, one day I suddenly had a severe stomachache. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I felt... I had advanced gastric cancer!"

The four words "latest stage of gastric cancer" seem to be worth a thousand gold. They spent all his strength. After saying that, he leaned tiredly on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and tried to rest for a while.

He took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and said again, "When Chen Jingxia saw that I didn't agree to add her name to the house. I took sick leave and had no salary, so she proposed to divorce me. I thought about it and it was okay to divorce. I spent ten years with Tongtong's mother. It's enough. Chen Jingxia and I have lived in three months. I am really taking it myself!"

"Then what do you want to do when you look for us?" Jiang Xi asked calmly.

"After I divorced Chen Jingxia, I miss Tongtong very much. I miss Tongtong's mother too, but I can't contact them anymore. Tongtong's mother's phone number changed, and she sent many messages on WeChat but didn't respond. I also went to Baixx community to find them, but people there said that the house was sold by Tongtong's mother, and Tongtong no longer went to school in Baixx Primary School. Tongtong's grandmother and grandpa's phone number changed, and the house moved, and they seemed... they evaporated, I..."

He suddenly burst into tears, "I miss them so much, I miss them so much! I'm so afraid that I won't see Tongtong before I die. Tongtong is my only daughter! Woo..."

He cried even more and more sadly.

My heart felt a little sad, but it was not just sad for him. It was very complicated and I couldn't explain it clearly.

"Can't your parents take care of you?" Jiang Xi asked again.

He said, "My mother came to take care of me for a few days. She followed me and was anxious and tired. She couldn't sleep every night and fell ill soon. My father was in poor health and was also a dying person. I asked my mother to go back and I hired a nanny to take care of me. However, the nanny was not happy. I just wanted Tongtong and Tongtong's mother, Jiangdong's mother, if you can contact them, please help me contact me. I'm all dying people, let them forgive me. I miss my daughter..."

Now he is haggard and although he is only in his thirties, he looks old and says such words, which makes him look particularly miserable and desolate.

Jiang Xi said, "I haven't contacted her for a long time. I can only say try to contact her. If I contact her, she will look for you. If I don't contact her, you don't have to look for us. It's useless to look for us. Do you understand?"

Zhang Junzhi nodded with a sad face, "I understand, I understand!"

Then we went back to our home.

Along the way, what appeared in my mind was the scene of Zhang Junzhi and Tongtong's mother negotiating at our home. At that time, Tongtong's mother felt like she would die at any time. If it weren't for Jiang Xi's persuasion, Tongtong's mother would have probably got mentally ill. In short, her life was like falling into the abyss of darkness.

And those scenes seemed to feel like what happened yesterday, and the time was so close. At that time, although Zhang Junzhi was not very flamboyant in his words, his behavior and spirit behind him were very determined, domineering, selfish, and shameless, not considering anyone's feelings.

Looking at him now, he is like a dying dog.

Life is sometimes really wonderful and even more difficult to predict. It seems that some people's lives exist to prove the saying "If you do more unrighteous things, you will die by yourself."

If Zhang Junzhi hadn't been so harsh, I dare not say that he wouldn't have cancer, but I think Tongtong's mother would never ignore him, let alone Tongtong is with him. In that way, even if he leaves this world, he will walk like a person, and walk like a miss and nostalgia. Now, who else will be reluctant to leave him?

As soon as Jiang Xi got home, she contacted Tongtong's mother. We all know that Tongtong's mother took Tongtong back to her hometown Anhui, because she couldn't help but feel sad because she was here. She thought that her children were not in a good school district, and that the house she had saved with Zhang Junzhi was enjoyed by other children and women, so she could not face the reality. So she simply made up her mind to sell the house and take the children back to her parents, and her parents also needed to take care of her.

Her parents knew what happened to her. They were so angry that they were sick for half a month. After they recovered, they moved. On the one hand, they didn't want to hear gossip from the old neighbors, and on the other hand, they said they wanted to say goodbye to everything in the past. The old couple was also planning to find a partner for Tongtong's mother.

After Tongtong's mother got a new number, she immediately sent Jiang Xi, saying, "I won't contact others anymore, but I can't stop contacting you, and I don't want to break up with you."

This time Jiang Xi sent her a message explaining Zhang Junzhi’s demands.

We all thought Tongtong's mother would not pay attention to Zhang Junzhi, but unexpectedly, Tongtong's mother quickly replied: "I will take Tongtong back to find him tomorrow. Thank you Jiang Dong's mother!"

Her answer shocked Jiang Xi and I, but we completed our mission and we couldn't control the others.

I said, "Maybe Tongtong's mother still has feelings for Zhang Junzhi and is about to die, so she won't bother with him."

Jiang Xi curled her lips lightly, but said nothing.

In the days that followed, Jiang Xi received several calls from her class teacher. This time, Jiang Xi was no longer nervous and responded completely in a perfunctory state. When she hung up the phone, her mood was still "hehehehehe" and she didn't take it seriously.

The more severe the school is hit, the more encouragement the extracurricular classes are.

The art teacher often sends messages saying, "Mom Jiangdong, your Jiangdong paintings are very good. She passed the second level in the last sketch exam. She also painted gouache paintings very well. She is very talented in art. She must cultivate them well! Don't waste talents!"

Jiang Xi replied: "Okay, okay! We must train well, thank you for your hard work!"

The dance teacher sent a congratulatory message, "Jiangdong's Latin dance is very stylish. This time, the students who have only been studying for three months have danced better than those who have studied for half a year. So, we decided to jump to her for two-level classes to learn. Jiangdong's mother, you have no objection!"

Jiang Xi replied: "No objection, no objection. As long as you think it's good, just skip her level, as long as she can keep up."

Whenever he receives such a call, Jiang Xi is always very happy. Any child who has weaknesses will have strengths.

Jiang Xi would smile and say to me, "Let's just let her use her talent in the future and study art majors. The scores for art majors will be smaller, so she won't be so tired even if she takes the exam."

I said, "Okay, you can think about it first, but who knows what happens in the future? It depends on her. There are many ways to go anyway, otherwise you can learn to make cakes!"

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Xi stared at me with a squinted look. Every time this time, I felt that she was very cute. She couldn't help but kiss her on the face and enjoy her mouth! It's really...

When my daughter is praised, we will take her out for a good meal or go to a professional amusement park to play, which is a reward for her. After being rewarded, the daughter will work harder and more actively learn to draw and dance.

On Saturday morning, our family took the train to Hangzhou. One and a half hours from Nanjing to Hangzhou Railway Station were enough, but it took nearly two hours to go to the Jade City, Yuhang District where we were looking at the houses.

On the one hand, the transportation in Hangzhou is not as good as Nanjing, and there are fewer subways and more vehicles. There is another reason. Hangzhou is the first to emerge in the country to give way to pedestrians before the zebra crossing, and there are many zebra crossings along the way, so...

However, Hangzhou is a city that makes people feel clean, polite and has a very good cultural atmosphere. Not to mention greening, it is better than Nanjing, so the air here is better than Nanjing, and it is a world of difference.

So when our family of three arrived here, we were quite excited. We sat in the taxi and looked around and felt very comfortable.

This time we went to Jade City, Yuhang District, Hangzhou because Jiang Xi said that she had been studying second-hand houses in Hangzhou for a long time and felt that it was still a low-lying house in Hangzhou, with a unit price of 18,000 square meters. The economy there has not yet developed, but Jiang Xi felt that there is a future there.

I haven't studied it before, so I didn't say much, so I followed her to see it.

However, as soon as I got there, I felt a strong sense of rejection, because it looked sparsely populated. Except for some sporadic construction sites that made the air smoky, there was no visible population or green scenery.

As soon as I got there, I said, "This place is not good!"

I also asked the agent more, "How much can a house worth a 100-square-meter here be rented? What school district is there?"

The agent said, "Brother, a house worth 100 square meters here can be rented for more than 1,000 yuan. There is no supporting public schools here yet. It should be matched in the future, but there are private schools."

I'll go! In the community where I live in Nanjing, a house of seventy or eighty square meters can be rented for three or four thousand yuan. We have to rent out this house after we buy it, so I naturally care about the rent.

Jiang Xi said, "Don't worry, let's take a look at the house first."

I said seriously, "It's useless to see. I really can't buy a house here. It feels like a wilderness. It's very far away from the city and the surrounding commercial facilities are poor. There is not even a public school. How can I buy it?"

I know that Jiangxi has a study on buying a house, and it seems that she hasn't failed. But this time I'm really afraid. If I want to buy it, I'm afraid it's just a house worth 2 or 3 million yuan. If I buy the wrong one, this broken place will be troublesome. If I can't sell it in the future, and it's not worth renting it, I won't be finished?

I was really anxious and worried, so I hope Jiang Xi would say, "Leave, don't look at it anymore, and don't buy it anymore."

As a result, she still said calmly, "Let's talk about it after reading it! Don't always touch my ears, so as not to affect my thinking and judgment. Listen to the agent's introduction!"

I,"……".

I was scolded and I looked speechless and depressed.

Jiang Dongdong saw my embarrassment situation and immediately took my hand and said, "Listen to mom, mom has her ideas."

OK! It’s useless if it doesn’t work, but it’s nothing to look at the house. I won’t agree to her buy it anyway, that’s it!

So, our family of three followed the agency to see several houses. Because I had made up my mind not to buy them, I didn't look at most of them carefully.

However, I couldn't help but take a look at a house because it was really well decorated. For those who have never lived in a luxurious house, the decoration of this house is really a luxury house. The materials are also very good in all aspects. The area is 170 square meters, the price is 3.2 million yuan, and the underground garage is given.

This house is really exciting, but unfortunately, this place is too bad. I think no matter how good the house is, it is useless. When I asked the agency how much the house can be rented out, he replied that I was even less interested in it for more than 2,000 yuan a month, and no matter how beautiful and luxurious it is, I am not interested in it.

Jiang Xi and Jiang Dongdong were both excited to see it.

Jiang Dongdong said excitedly, "I would have lived in such a big house. Oh, what a pity!"

Jiang Xi said, "Mom bought it for you. You can come and live when you grow up!"

"Really?"

Jiang Dongdong was so excited that he was about to jump up, I interrupted her.

"You can't buy it here. No matter how beautiful it is, it's useless. The villa with a villa of more than 300 square meters in my hometown is less than one million. Can you buy it?"

Seeing that my attitude was firm, the intermediary looked at Jiang Xi immediately.

I said, "You don't have to look at her, you will definitely not buy it!"
