Chapter 12 12 Pick up people fighting on the roadside, you treat them as male models. ...
At ten o'clock in the evening, Tang Ke washed her hair and took a shower, then changed into a set of pajamas with My Little Pony cartoon prints on them. After drying her hair, she sat in front of the makeup mirror and applied hair care oil, looking like both a country cowherd and an urban beauty.
After a while, my mother opened the bedroom door and said, "Come into the living room for a moment."
"What's wrong?" Tang Ke wanted to go to bed early today and was reluctant to go to the living room so late to listen to the biology leaders' representative meeting.
Dong Ci: "Just come, your father is here too, let's talk about your marriage."
"Haven't you talked enough at the dinner table tonight? You've digested all the snacks." Tang Ke dragged his feet and was reluctant to leave.
Dong Ci gave an ultimatum without allowing any further discussion: "Hurry up, we'll be waiting for you. Come out when you're done."
Tang Ke combed out a handful of hair, rolled it into a ball like a dung beetle rolling its shit, and threw it into the trash can with reluctance. He brushed the ends of his hair to the front to cover his collarbone and chest, and slowly moved to the living room.
"What's the matter?" She sat down and yawned loudly.
"When did you and him get the certificate?" Dong Ci asked.
She had prepared for this question, so she answered, "Next Thursday if possible. If not, I'll discuss it with him later."
"That's fine." They all nodded. "His family is pretty good. The sooner we settle down, the more at ease we'll be."
"Hmm." Tang Ke was not sleepy originally, but he became really sleepy after yawning.
"Here's our plan, listen carefully," her parents said one after another, their voices thick with the scent of alcohol, making it difficult for them to focus on anything more than a meter away. Whose ears were weak? "His family is offering a 200,000 yuan betrothal gift, and we're planning on providing a down payment on a house as a dowry."
"What?!" Tang Ke's eyes widened instantly. "You're going to buy me a house?! What kind of family? Was I taken away by mistake?"
"Don't argue." Dong Ci suppressed her excitement and said, "Of course it's not a house in the city center. Don't think too much. The house is over by Sanxi Bridge's Shuangmendong. Your father and I started looking at it a few years ago. I heard that XX Middle School is going to build a branch there. When your child is older, it's about time."
Her father continued, "Yes, public schools are very strict about household registration these days, especially key high schools like XX Middle School. You always have to plan for the future."
Tang Ke understood that it was their mission to make early plans for the distant future. To call it a habit would be an understatement; only the mission was worthy of their foresight.
"How much?" she asked.
"The full amount is about 1.13 million, with a down payment of 250,000. Your father and I will pay for it, and the property deed will be in your name."
"Ah, my salary isn't that high. After paying the rent in District XX, I still have to pay the mortgage here. It's really tough."
Tang's father denied her with a loud voice, clearing his mind at the same time, "Hey, after you get married, you will definitely live with your husband. There is no need to continue renting the house over there."
Tang Ke: "Who said that? Not to mention we haven't gotten married yet, why can't he live his and I live mine after we get married? I finally found such a good place with great feng shui. It's convenient for going to work and going out to play."
"How can a couple not live together?" Dong Ci frowned. "You're not a child anymore. You can't just think about yourself. He has a house and a car, and we can't live worse than theirs, otherwise you'll have a hard time there. It's settled. You come with me tomorrow to sign and secure the house. The price will definitely increase later, so the sooner the better."
This sounded like the real estate agent was creating consumer anxiety in order to sell the house. Tang Ke waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow is not possible. I will go buy a ring with him tomorrow."
"Oh, the ring..." Dong Ci discussed with her husband and said to her, "It won't take long to buy the ring. Come over after you buy it."
Tang Ke sighed, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even seen what a house looks like."
Tang's father showed her the photos of his field investigation. It was a two-story small villa built in the countryside. Although it was second-hand, it had a lot of space for renovation and could be given a new look after renovation. There was an open space at the door for parking and planting flowers. It was backed by a mountain and had north-south ventilation. It was a certain distance away from the main road, so the transportation was convenient and not noisy. As for the middle school that parents were most concerned about, it was about one kilometer away.
Tang Ke thought to himself that buying a house that is suitable for Chinese-style education and renting it out could be a good strategy.
"Okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow afternoon." Tang Ke yawned again, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."
"Have him take you here tomorrow afternoon so he can take a look and give you some advice," said Tang's father.
"Let's talk about it later."
Tang Ke had a dream at night. She dreamed that she was happily petting her dog in the yard, but was pounced on by the dog in the tomato field. The Chinese pastoral dog wagged its tail and stepped on her. It was so heavy that she couldn't push it away. She simply lay down and picked up the small tomatoes that fell on the ground and ate them. While eating, she thought that her dream of buying a house had come true so easily. It seemed that getting married could really accelerate life. She just found a partner, but she inexplicably achieved many seemingly unattainable achievements.
Is she really a lucky star?
Hehe, maybe it is.
She rolled around in the soft tomato field, and the dog rolled around too. They rolled towards the end of the world, and halfway there they bumped into a large rock. No, it wasn't a rock. It was a man wearing a blue and black plaid shirt, holding a laptop, and looking exactly like Fu Yu, sitting on the side of the road, typing code...
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" she asked.
The man turned around and said, "I am your husband, and you left me at home."
"I don't know you. Not just any cat or dog can be my husband."
"You really don't know me?" The man leaned over, leaning closer to her face. He took off his glasses, revealing the mole on his eyebrow, and asked again, "You really don't know me?"
"Oh, it's you." Tang Ke remembered, "How do you prove that you are my husband?"
"I can go with you."
"So can a dog."
"What about this?"
Her eyes were covered by a big hand, and everything in front of her was dark. Her lips felt wet and cool, like soft moss.
"Fuck!"
Tang Ke woke up with a start and subconsciously lifted the quilt to look down - this action made no sense, but she always had the illusion that she had had sex after drinking.
What? What did she dream about last night?
Fu Yu kissed her?
Oh my god…
People are struggling on the roadside, and you treat them as male models.
The glaring sunlight seeped in through the gaps in the curtains, burning her conscience. Tang Ke dragged her heavy steps to the bathroom to wash up. Thinking that she would have to meet the male model in person later, she felt ashamed.
Anyone who knows that they are about to own a house will be so happy that they will have all kinds of fantasies. It is understandable that they can't help but hug and kiss something. She imagined a tomato field and a Chinese pastoral dog. After all, in a dream, kissing the soil and kissing a puppy are no big deal. Why did she choose to kiss a living Fu Yu? It was too offensive.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Dreams and reality are opposites. With Fu Yu's love for her, who has never eaten pork but only seen pigs run, and her emotions, which are like those of a fish that has been killed for twenty years and has long been as calm as water, there is no way they can cross the line.
Forget it this time. Just think of it as her ovulation period. The regret of never being in a bar since childhood will be vented in other ways when necessary. It's neither harmful nor immoral. That's enough. Being a woman is not that easy.
Tang Ke gathered half of her hair and tied it into a small bun at the back of her head. She simply did some eyebrow makeup, put on a layer of nude lipstick, and did not wear any jewelry. Her clothes were also plain without any patterns. She wore a lavender cotton short-sleeved dress that fit her curves and covered her hips to her knees. She wore a gray sun-protective jacket on the outside with the zipper zipped up to the top. Once she put on sunglasses, she looked like she was not loved by anyone.
Fu Yu was waiting downstairs of her house. As he closed his eyes for a nap, there were small marks on both sides of his nose from where his glasses rested, suggesting that he had stayed up all night and ended up losing a lot of money. He searched for wedding ring guides all night, but it was still a case of each party having their own reasons, and there was no clear reason.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Tang Ke knocked on the window. He rubbed Qingmingxue and unlocked the safety lock.
"Sorry." Tang Ke sat in the passenger seat and smiled ingratiatingly.
"It's okay, it didn't take long." Fu Yu said.
It's more than that, Tang Ke added silently in his heart.
"Let's go to Vientiane City. The first floor is full of gold, silver and jewelry." She said, her tone like a robber.
Arriving at the MixC, neither of them was familiar with the business in this area. One usually went straight to the dining area on the fourth floor, and the other rarely even stepped into the mall. Facing the glittering marble tiles and sparkling jewelry, they looked left and right like children. The difference is that children's curiosity is free, while adults' curiosity requires money.
Before they could even take a closer look, the salesperson took the initiative to present them with several fashionable couple rings. Tang Ke didn't like the look and politely declined by shaking his head, but the salesperson still refused to give up.
As for sales, Tang Ke could empathize with the customer but he was unwilling to be a saint, so he had to start talking nonsense.
"This one is exactly the same as the one his ex-wife wore, and I don't like it. That one is very similar to the one his second ex-wife wore, and I don't like it either."
"Ah?" The words the shopping guide recited were shattered by lightning, and his eyes shifted between the two of them.
Fu Yu acted cowardly, grabbing the corner of her sleeve with his thumb and index finger, "Didn't we agree not to tell anyone..."
"Isn't it okay for me to marry so many wives?" Tang Ke pretended to be slightly angry and strode out of the store. A long hand was attached to his sleeve, and behind him was a living person, dragging his family to move the battlefield.
"Let's go to Chow Tai Fook," she said.
Fu Yu raised his hand, "I want to marry for the first time this time."
"Okay, okay." Tang Ke promised solemnly. After looking around, he was still not satisfied, so he said to the salesperson, "It's more expensive than what his wife wears. I'm afraid his wife will come to our house and complain."
Fu Yu: "..."
"Why are you so expressionless? This trick works every time, okay?" Tang Ke poked his arm. "At worst, I'll marry three husbands next time. Let's go, let's go to Lao Feng Xiang."
"No." Fu Yu stood still and did not move no matter how she pulled his hand.
"Why?"
"I haven't figured out how to get along with the two seniors."
Tang Ke sneered, "It's covered."
The mall had a few luxury brand cosmetics and perfume stalls in the center, and the air was filled with a faint rose scent. Standing in the middle of the street felt awkward, so Fu Yu raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
"Go buy it there," he said.
Tang Ke looked in the direction of his fingertips and through a perfume stall selling sweet and romantic perfumes, he recognized that he was talking about the "DR" at the end.
"Are you... sure?"
"Sure."
