The drizzle of light rain kept falling.

It was already past 2 o'clock at night. Geng Zheng and his wife Ning Tian, ​​who had already fallen asleep, woke up almost at the same time.

The house is leaking, and the raindrops are cold and cold on my face. Turning on the light, the couple looked around and saw seven or eight raindrops. They quickly went to the ground, found large pots and small pots, and large buckets, and placed them one by one in the leaky areas.

"Why is it leaking?" Ning Tian said.

"This decades-old house should have been renovated a long time ago." Geng Zheng looked up at the dark roof and said with a somewhat melancholy tone.

The two of them were completely sleepless.

"I can't sleep, let's have a drink? Let's talk." Ning Tian said as she went down to get the wine, and at the same time brought up a plate of peanuts and two bags of mustard shreds.

Geng Zheng smiled: "I really have you."

The couple drank, ate and chatted, bursting into happy laughter from time to time.

The "tick" sound of raindrops falling in iron basins, plastic basins and iron buckets can be crisp or dull, which is very interesting.

"The rain has stopped. We must quickly plug up the leaks, otherwise the leaks will get bigger and bigger." Geng Zheng continued: "It just so happens that our company's engineering team is fine. Ready-made materials are not available, so we have to renovate the entire roof. "

" How much does it cost? "

" I'll tell the manager, the cost of materials and labor are the lowest price. "

" What's the cost price and the lowest price? "Twenty thousand yuan."

Ning Tian took a sip of wine: "Twenty thousand is not a small number. I think it's better to plug the leak. Haven't you heard that our shanty town is about to be demolished and renovated?"

"I heard that it's not a small number." "But I don't know the specific year and month."

"There are already high-rise buildings around us, and it's our turn to do it ourselves. We don't have to spend money." Ning Tian finished saying that she would go first. He smiled: "Don't demolish it just after renovation, what a pity? We don't do such an unjust and stupid thing. Don't you think so?"

Geng was looking at his capable wife who knew how to live a good life, and nodded: "Listen to you. "

" I find that as you grow older, you tend to worry more and more, and always think about the bad things first when things happen. In life, the more you worry, the more you will think about the good things and face it bravely. In fact, nothing is a problem, everything can be overcome. As for us, it was difficult before." Ning Tian said with red eyes.

Geng Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then Ning Tian said: "When you gave birth to your eldest son, you had no milk, so you had to give him cornstarch. In those days, it was especially difficult to buy milk powder and there was no money. The second eldest child often got sick. In the middle of the night, I went to the doctor for an injection. Once, my second child suddenly fell unconscious, which made me tremble all over. It was such a hot summer, and I still felt cold even after wearing three pieces of clothing."

Ning Tian smiled: "It's still a big man. How dare you? I carried the child all the way there. The doctor was laughing at you. That time the child was poisoned after eating some crushed pork liver.”

正As he said this, the two mice fought in the middle of the ground. Just when Ning Tian was about to find something to throw at her, Geng Zheng waved his hand and put his finger in the middle of his mouth, meaning not to move or make a sound. He looked around and roughly determined that the mouse had come in through the door, then quietly moved to the door. He picked up a shovel behind the door, took up his position, and blocked the escape route.

The fight between mice turned out to be so fierce, a life and death struggle, why? Ning Tian was born with a fear of mice and was too frightened to move. Seeing Geng watching the "fun", she waved her hands anxiously, signaling him to start quickly.

Geng Zheng found that even though they were talking quietly, the fighting mice didn't even care. Is it too outrageous? Geng Zheng pushed down the shovel, and the two little mice suddenly stopped. It should be said that he controlled his strength very well. Even though they were all dead, they were not "terrible". He shoveled it up and threw it into the trash can outside the courtyard.

"It's quite cold." He was covered in rain. Ning Tian quickly wiped him clean, took off his pajamas, and put the quilt on him.

"Do you still want to drink?" Ning Tian asked.

"Go to sleep, otherwise, how will you go to work tomorrow?" Geng Zheng said.

Ning Tian smiled: "You call that work? If there is work, just work, and if there is no work, just stay. It's cloudy, will there be moving tomorrow?"

"There are no appointments yet."

"Who is moving in this weather? Yeah? "

" That's right. Let's go to bed. We've been working hard for two hours." Geng Zheng said and turned on the light. Ning Tian quickly stopped: "Rinse your mouth first."

After lying down, Geng Zheng said: "I find that you are getting happier now. You are not always worried like in the past."

"That's right. Have you noticed? Days It is always moving in a better and better direction, and there is always hope in my heart. I also feel that worry is a day, and joy is a day. Worry can’t solve the problem, so why not be happy? The doctor said that worry is easy to get sick, and happiness is healthy. The best medicine. I find that you are a little sentimental now. Just say that the house is leaking, can you just plug it? Besides, you have really moved and moved into a building. I can't find this kind of trouble. . Thinking about it this way, you feel less depressed? "

"What you said really makes sense." After saying that, Geng Zheng snored.
