Love in the bungalow
Sun Zhenhang
If time goes back, I would like to walk the past again, relive those green years, and walk back into that low and inconspicuous bungalow, let the "beloved wife" rekindle the fire of love, and communicate and make progress with the "husband's happiness".
Bungalow is where I got married and rented 26 years ago. It is located in Zhichu Village, Zhifu District, Yantai City, next to the tall building of the power plant. My wife was employed in Yantai porcelain factory at that time. The factory was only one way away from the Chucun , which was very convenient to get to and from get off work.
The bungalow faces north and south, with four main rooms and two west wing rooms. You can rent three families at the same time. I moved in earlier and chose two main landlords, half of which is a kitchen with a fixed stove and iron pot, half of which is a small north house, and a main room with a kang. I got married on this earthen kang. Although my wife and I had a low income at that time, the three years of happy years were full of tenderness and sweetness. We took a walk together, went to the market together, and rode our bikes through Zhiyang to our hometown in Qixia . 107 There have been footprints in that very small park, watching green plants and smelling the fragrance of flowers on the day, and watching the celestial phenomena at night count the stars. In the low bungalow area of Nancang and Beizao, I have also searched for a home for love many times.
A newly married couple moved into two major rooms in the west of the main house. Men are Fukuyama's home, with a burly figure; women are Rushan 's home, with a beautiful and delicate appearance. Men often invite a group of drinkers to have fun after get off work. Women seem to be used to this kind of life, and they rarely complain. I often imagine a table of delicious food based on the fragrance. After four or five friends were full of food and food, they often played the "Great Wall" song, which lasted until late at night. Guess how that virtuous woman rested in that big room, and was pregnant at that time. My wife and I were sympathetic and indignant, but we were helpless, letting the noise of the noise intermittent.
The west wing is a couple about 35 years old who are doing aluminum alloy processing. They are 4 people on days. The man is not tall, but strong. The woman is tall and big, and she can be simple at first glance. She lives with her 4 or 5-year-old son, and the eldest son is in his early 10 years old. She only comes to live for a while during the winter and summer vacations. The couple is very hardworking, riding a tricycle and leaving early and returning late, smiling every day, and the whole family is harmonious, happy and happy.
With the help of relatives and friends, I plan to hold a wedding in Yantai city, so as not to go back to my hometown to do business and let my parents be busy. My wife's hometown is a village north of Taocun Town, Qixia. In order to give her a more decent wedding, she has all the videos of her wedding car. The best man and bridesmaids, wedding videos, hotel banquets, wedding hosts, witnesses, etc. are all available, but they are all busy participating in the work of relatives and friends. Including the red satin flowers for cars, I provided them for free. Because the wedding car is simple, the two cars, red colors and red love play a sweet wedding march in September when they are about to be harvested. In addition, my wife's cousin brought her own jeep from her hometown, and my brother arranged a truck for wedding dowry. In order to save money, we should minimize unnecessary car costs. My wife and I also chose to go to the check-in place of two newcomers, allowing trek to meet forever, and allowing the old man Yue to testify. Several friends politely made a wedding night on their wedding night. In a cheerful atmosphere, my wife and I settled down the marriage, formed a love affair with Sun and Liu, moved into the rented wedding house, and started a new life. From then on, we have more concerns and more and more cooking plans. After having a child, we have made a happy family of three successful.
The morning glow rose day after day, the sun set, and the colorful life concerto in the courtyard was singing. In the morning, there are the sound of toothbrush and toothbrush cylinders, the sound of bicycles and motorcycles moving; in the evening, there are the sound of knife and shoveling bowls and chopsticks, the sound of drinking and mahjong; only noon is quieter, there are few people returning to the yard, and it is very stable to take a nap. Later, both families had children, which added more laughter and baby crying. The courtyard is not big and there are quite a few people. All three families can understand and tolerate each other. They have never been blushed and quarreled. They are very polite.
Whenever winter comes, my brother will pull out abandoned wooden boards from the construction site and cut them into appropriate sizes. It is very useful to use it to burn the kang. The earth kang has a constant temperature effect. The temperature is suitable all night. The waist soreness leg pain relieves fast. It doesn’t matter if the light in the old house is slightly poor, and I feel comfortable and contented.
Whenever cooking, different fragrances radiate from each family, and from time to time, they even guess what the neighbors cook and eat. I often use a large pot to cook the kang, and the smoke from the cooking stove is curling. Sweet potatoes, taro, cakes (also known as slices), and steamed buns are all steamed in a large pot, and a bowl of shrimp paste given by my mother can save trouble and air (gas), and emit a strong local fragrance, which is still unforgettable. The hostess of the West House was very hardworking and was very quick to serve a few drinks. After a jingle, the fragrance immediately floated in the yard.
All three use liquefied gas stove to stir-fry dishes. I had limited conditions at the time, and I didn't consider the brand when I purchased the product. I deliberately or unintentionally chose the cheaper "beloved wife" gas stove. I go out all year round, go home and off work intermittently, and do nothing, so I naturally do housework and can handle cooking and cooking well. Pasta is my specialty, white and fat steamed buns are made of flour supported by my parents-in-law. Peanut oil is provided by parents or relatives of both parties. Green onions, potatoes, beans, fresh corn in summer and autumn, Chinese cabbage, radish , sweet potatoes, taro, etc. in winter, are all brought from our hometown, so they are more cost-effective and not expensive. Eat a lot of food, think less, be happy and have no worries. I worked hard and worked hard, chose to "love my wife" and chose to give.
Occasionally one day, the Westinghouse cleaned. My wife found that the gas stove used by my neighbor was "Husband Deli", which actually had a completely different meaning from "Love Wife". Thinking of the performance of the neighbor's two families, my wife and I couldn't help laughing and laughing at each other. Think about the choice of "husband to have fun", maybe it is to make the husband happy and happy, a different expression of love. After a long time, I found that the man really ignored the housework and had to drink, smoke and play mahjong after work. A woman still works hard and serves food and drink with a big belly. She is a typical good wife and mother, and she is very envious. Later, the woman's mother came to accompany her and occasionally complained to my lover. At some point, my neighbor's house also knew that my "beloved wife" gas stove was different from it, and also praised me, a warm man, for his ability to cook and do housework. The couple in the west wing always smiled when they meet. They neither have a "loving wife" nor a "husband". The whole family is happy, get up early and work hard together, and work hard to earn money to support their families!
All changes are after the mistress of the East and West House gave birth to children. The lady in the Westing Room had a son first, and my wife then gave birth to a son. At that time, all the descendants in the courtyard were carrying them. I performed well and hardworking in the first two years of marriage, but as time went by, as my son grew up, the mentality of "loving his wife" gradually changed subtly. I was too lazy to do housework, I was less worried about family matters, and I missed a good opportunity to educate my son's companionship. Instead, my wife took on too many housework and the heavy responsibility of raising her son. After avoiding the bumps and stuttering and enduring the seven-year itch, I began to reflect on myself: The bigger the gap is, why should I distinguish housework so clearly and explain it so thoroughly? If your mentality changes over a period of time, you will not comment on whether it is affected by the "husband's happiness". Working hard to be yourself is the magic weapon for a harmonious couple and a happy family life. Look at the neighbor's lady who still worked hard after her confinement period even though she had a son. The woman's mother helped to take care of the child. The man still didn't care about housework. However, the mahjong was probably a little less, but the drinkers still came frequently, and the number of empty wine bottles in the yard was a proof. Over time, you can occasionally hear the quarrel between the couple. It cannot be because of the collision between "husband Dele" and "beloved wife"!
After living in a bungalow for three years, our family of three moved to the sixth floor of Dahaiyang Road, Zhifu District, and lived in my brother's room for another three years. In 1999, with the help of my brother, I finally bought a new house of more than 90 square meters with a plow. I saved money and paid back the loan for more than four years. After being debt-free, my life became better and better, and I became more and more prosperous. I occasionally wonder: How are those two former neighbors doing? Then is "Fu Dele" still used? As the child grows up, the husband will definitely change his mind and do housework.So is the neighbor of the West Room still doing aluminum alloy processing? It's time for a prosperous business to buy a house. The times are constantly changing, everything is changing, and people will become better. I wish my neighbors a happy family, good luck, and good fortune forever!
Nowadays, although time has changed, I think that the bungalow is small and the yard is not big, but it is the place where I rest after I go out and I hope to return home; the sky and earth are big, which is not as warm as the shabby room of the small room with a great effect of love; the kang is high and the pot is low, and the flames burn but increase the temperature of love. At that time, I didn’t have a deep understanding of the concept of home. The older I got, the more I felt that the importance of home was. I gradually let go of some things, some feelings, some right and wrong, some serious twists and turns in my family...
I can’t forget the complement of the "loving wife" and "husband's happiness" in the bungalow, and this triggers the understanding of home and the understanding of love.
