Toot ~ ~ The phone rang a few times and was connected."
Hey, who's that?"
It seemed to be a strange call, and the person on the other end of the phone asked in a whisper."
Hello, sir."
Su Ze said in a calm tone, "I called according to the number you left on the paper, and I want to rent the shop next to Lingxiu Street." ”With the idea of a quick decision, he went straight to the point, unwilling to beat around the bush.The landlord is under the guise of renting out the store as soon as possible and making money as soon as possible; Su Ze thought that he could rent the store as soon as possible, so that he could open the store as soon as possible."
Oh, of course that's fine."
The landlord quickly replied, "I'm still at work, if you have time, we can meet in the evening." ”"No problem, 7 p.m.""
Yes!""
Then we'll see you in the evening."
After Su Ze hung up the phone, he returned home along the same path.At the end of the meal, he was a little absent-minded and kept thinking about meeting the landlord in the evening.However, the content of the parents' chat attracted Su Ze's attention.Su Dad Su Haishan held chopsticks in one hand and rice bowl in the other and said, "By the way, it is said that the unit is going to raise wages recently." ”Su's father works in the engineering department of a star-rated hotel, and night shifts are a common thing at night.Over the past 20 years, from the initial state-owned enterprises to the privatization restructuring, Su Haishan can be regarded as a person from the past.Su Ma Qin Xiaoyan put down her rice bowl after hearing this, and she was also very happy: "Really, that's good, how much can you add." ”She now works as a cashier in a major supermarket.Su's father was a little proud and said: "The annual salary has risen from 40,002 to 40,008, an average increase of more than 500 per month." ”Su Ma also smiled after hearing this: "Yes, this salary can be regarded as breaking through to the 4,000 mark." ”Su Ze on the side sighed lightly after hearing this, and couldn't help but secretly say: My simple parents, just 4,000 yuan salary will make you two happy.In the next few years, this inflation will be even more outrageous, and from this point of view, this wage increase is simply insignificant.But after a while, Su's mother's mood dimmed and said, "Our daughter is 24 years old, and she has to think about lifelong events, and this dowry has to be prepared." ”Su Ze blinked, and was speechless for a moment.This mother is too anxious, she is only 24 years old, and she should focus on her career."
But Ozawa ......"
Su's mother glanced at her son, "I'm still young, and I'm a man, so I'll be fine a few years later."
In the past few years, I have mainly to worry about my daughter's affairs. ”The concept of the mother is still very traditional, such as that a man should start a business first and then start a family.After Su Haishan heard this, his demeanor suddenly came to an end.In the hearts of parents, the marriage of their children is always the top priority, and the joy of raising wages disappears when they think of these huge expenses."
Xiao Ze is still young, and the marriage can be slow......ed down," Su's father groaned slightly, "But the wedding room must be prepared, but the housing prices in Ningzhou, even in the suburbs, are a little scary." ”"Mom, Dad."
Su Ze suddenly spoke, "You just need to prepare a dowry for your sister."
I'm fine here, and you don't have to worry about the house, I can solve it myself. ”His tone sounded confident, as if this sky-high house was a trivial matter in Su Ze's eyes.Su's father and Su's mother glanced at each other with some surprise, and a thought flashed in their hearts: Where did this stinky little ghost get the confidence and courage to say this?
Under Su Ze's defenselessness, Su Ma suddenly poked his head with her finger and scolded angrily: "Is your head caught by the door, and you still buy a house by yourself?"
With your salary, you can afford to buy a bathroom, at most you can only buy a toilet in the bathroom. ”If the old sister Su Yi said this, the parents might believe it, but these words came out of the mouth of this son who has always been a little stubborn, and driven by inertial thinking, the old couple categorically did not believe it.The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, Su Ze was calm and confident when he spoke just now, and even felt that his image was a lot taller at that moment, but it turned out to be a failed scene of pretending to be B, and his parents felt that he was bragging."
Ozawa, it's good that you have this idea."
Dad Su showed a hint of relief, "But you must also do what you can, don't say anything unrealistic."
Mom and Dad are ordinary salarymen, they don't have much ability, and they can't help you much in your work, so they can only hope that your sister will make a career in the future and can support you. ”Su's mother also answered: "Xiao Ze, as parents, it is natural for us to worry about our children's marriages."
Not to mention anything else, we will definitely help raise the down payment for your wedding house, and your sister will definitely contribute when the time comes.This is not a big deal, and most young people now get married and have to rely on family handouts. ”The parents sang and harmonized, and they cooperated very tacitly.Su Ze wanted to say something, but finally opened his mouth, but did not speak.He understands that no matter what he says at this time, his parents will not believe it, and taking practical actions is the best answer.In fact, in his previous life, until 2019, Su Ze did not buy a house.It's not because his parents broke the appointment that he doesn't count, but because he himself has a sense of resistance.At that time, some relatives and friends had already agreed to their parents' request for loans, and with some family savings, they had already scraped together enough for a down payment in the suburbs of Ningzhou.But no matter how many times they urged Su Ze to see some newly opened real estate together, he found a reason to shirk it.Su Ze hopes that his parents can live a comfortable and comfortable old age after the loss of their daughter, instead of taking on a large debt for the down payment of their marriage house and working hard for more than 20 years.Of course, at that time, he also considered the problem from the perspective of his own interests, after all, he must also bear part of the mortgage.Since about 2016, housing prices have ushered in another wave of considerable increases, while prices are also inflating and the cost of living is soaring.Why did he kidnap himself for 20 years, 30 years, or even longer for a house of about 100 square meters?
Frankly speaking, in those years, the marriage rate in China has been declining, and the fertility rate has also continued to hit new lows, even if the country has been encouraging a second child, it will not help.For many young people in their 30s, marriage is no longer a necessary choice in life.Delicate and self-interested young people will calculate their own gains and losses in their hearts.With the high prices and the rising cost of childcare, people seem to be able to see that in the coming days, they will be forced to breathe by the pressure of life, and live such a dark life......
That's a ball marriage!
How comfortable is a person......
There were too many young people who had such ideas at that time, and Su Ze was just one of them.After eating, Su Ze actively grabbed the rice bowl and said that he would wash it himself today.Such an abnormal behavior made Su's mother stunned for a while, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that after work, my son is really sensible." ”()
