Beijing,

Dongcheng District, in a five-star hotel.

Yang Bei had just had lunch and was sitting on the sofa browsing rental information in Beijing.

Seeing this, Yang Bei suddenly smiled bitterly. As expected of the capital of China, housing prices are really expensive. The cheapest apartment with two bedrooms and one living room costs six to seven thousand. Moreover, many homeowners posted the news and paid directly at once.

One quarter or half a year's rent.

Yang Bei did the math, and it seemed that the little money he had was not enough at all!

Yang Bei secretly thought that if he had seen this information earlier, he might not have chosen to leave the house.

Yang Bei teased himself optimistically.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang, and the note was that it was "Mom" calling.

Yang Bei was stunned. In his last life, he was an orphan. He grew up with his grandmother and had no memory of his parents in his mind.

Now suddenly faced with a call from his mother, Yang Bei, who had always been calm since time travel, suddenly felt a little nervous.

Taking a breath, Yang Bei pressed the connect button.

"Hey, Mom." Yang Bei called out.

Immediately afterwards, the angry voice of her mother Li Shulan came over the phone, "Yang Bei, what's going on in the news?"

Yang Bei was stunned and immediately understood why his mother was so angry. He quickly explained: "Mom, don't believe the news about my domestic violence and excessive gambling on the Internet. They are all rumors and pure slander."

My mother's tone was no longer so serious, and she continued to ask: "There is no smoke without fire. A fly won't bite a seamless egg. You did nothing wrong. Why do the news spread rumors about you and not others?"

When Yang Bei heard this, he knew that his mother had broken the habit she had developed after being a teacher for decades, and said: "Mom, this era is different from before. Nowadays, the media on the Internet can compile anything for the sake of traffic.

"Mom, how did you educate me when I was a child? Don't you still know what kind of person I am?"

After Yang Bei explained this, Li Shulan breathed a sigh of relief, "You brat, if I knew you were gambling or committing domestic violence outside, I would break your legs."

This time Yang Bei heard it. His mother's voice had a vibrato, as if she had cried.

Yang Bei pursed his lips. Although his mother was criticizing him, he could feel the care from her words. This feeling was something he could only look at others with envy in the past, but now he can also enjoy it.

?

"I know, Mom." Yang Bei said softly.

Mom continued: "By the way, let me ask you, what's going on between you and Yaya? Why did the newspaper say that Yaya is going to divorce you?"

Yang Beidao: "Yes, Mom, isn't She Ya a big star? She wants to divorce me, and the media started to throw dirt on me in order to gain popularity."

Of course Yang Bei knew that was not the case, but for the sake of his mother's peace, he had no choice but to say so first.

My mother said angrily: "Why does she suddenly want to divorce you? You are so old, why are you still so messy?"

Yang Beidao: "I think they have different personalities."

Mom said: "The personalities are not compatible? You have been married for three years and you only found out that the personalities are not compatible?"

After a pause, my mother continued to ask: "Do you agree?"

Yang Bei hummed and said: "I agree, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for divorce in three days."

After Yang Bei finished speaking, his mother fell into silence.

Li Shulan knew how much her son liked She Ya. If it was a petty quarrel between husband and wife, her son would definitely not agree to divorce. But now that he actually agreed to divorce, there must be irreconcilable conflicts.

"Son, how have you been these past few days?" My mother suddenly changed the subject.

Yang Bei almost couldn't keep up with his mother's thinking. He was talking about divorce just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was talking about how he was doing.

But after thinking about it, Yang Bei understood what his mother was thinking, "Mom, I'm having a good time these days. I'm staying at a friend's house."

After a pause, Yang Bei said: "Mom, I want to leave the house. I asked for it."

My mother said: "Well, if you leave the house clean, you can leave the house. Your mother can still support you. By the way, I don't worry about you being alone in the capital, so I asked your father to accompany you."

When Yang Bei heard this, he quickly said: "Mom, no, I'm staying at a friend's house and everything is fine. Why did you ask my dad to come? Don't come, don't come!"

Seeing Yang Bei's firm refusal, my mother had no choice but to say, "How much money do you have left now?"

Yang Bei thought about the less than 20,000 yuan in his card and said, "Mom, I still have less than 500,000 yuan in my card."

Mom snorted, "Talk like a human being."

Yang Bei coughed lightly and said, "Well, there are still 198,000."

Mom asked: "Is it enough?"

Yang Beidao: "That's enough. Two hundred thousand is not enough for me?"

Mom hummed and said, "Okay, if you don't have enough money, just tell your family."

Yang Bei quickly agreed.

After talking to my mother about my situation for a while, I hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Bei suddenly realized that talking to his mother was not so stressful and uncomfortable after all.

On the contrary, Yang Bei also feels that this feeling of being cared about by others instead of struggling alone is quite good.

...

Jinxiu Community.

At Gao Mang's home.

As soon as Gao Mang opened the door and walked in, he saw his mother, Gao Xiufen, standing in front of the living room wall with photos hanging on it.

Gao Mang put down the bag in his hand and asked, "Mom, where did you take this photo?"

The entire wall was filled with photos of Gao Xiufen, most of which were taken during her travels all year round. There were also some photos of her dancing senior dances with old men and women in the community, and photos with her colleagues.

Gao Xiufen turned to look at her daughter and said with a smile: "This morning, your Aunt Sun and I represented our community and competed with the community next door to dance the senior dance. Tsk tsk, your mother and I, as the main force, led our community to win the first prize in one fell swoop.

Results, this is our championship photo."

Gao Mang curled his lips and said, "Mom, I heard from Aunt Sun and the others downstairs that six communities participated and five communities won the first prize."

After Gao Xiufen hung up the photo, she clapped her hands and said, "Then there is another community that didn't win the first prize."

Gao Mang shook his head, sat on the sofa, and asked: "Mom, what are you having for lunch today?"

Gao Xiufen waved her hand, "Daughter, I have something to tell you."

Gao Mang scrolled through his cell phone and said, "What's going on?"

Gao Xiufen sat next to Gao Mang and said, "That's right, I want to rent out the house opposite our house."

Gao Mang turned his attention from the mobile phone to his mother and said, "Rent the house out? Why do you want to rent the house out suddenly?"

Gao Mang's family has two houses, both on the same floor, door to door.

When the Jinxiu Community was just built and the houses could not be sold, the father made a decision that would benefit Gao Mang and her daughter for life. He spent all the family's savings to buy two houses on the same floor.

Gao Mang and Gao Xiufen currently live in one set, and the one opposite is used as a storage room, with some old furniture thrown in there.

Gao Xiufen said: "Mangmang, let me tell you, this house can't be empty all the time. It has to be lived in and popular. And when we took a photo together in the morning, I heard your Aunt Sun say that Xiao Wang upstairs is not going abroad.

Have you? He rented out the house for more than 7,000 yuan a month. Our house is a bit old, so don’t pay so much. If it’s 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, someone will definitely rent it.”

Gao Mang frowned and said, "Are you short of money? I'll just give it to you."

Gao Xiufen raised her hand and tapped Gao Mang's forehead, "You kid, now that you've made some money, you're starting to feel restless? Have you forgotten that we two had a hard life before?"

Gao Mang rubbed the place where his mother had touched the place just now, and said helplessly: "Well, it's all up to you. You can rent it if you want."

Gao Xiufen smiled and said: "I'm just going to inform you. I'm not asking you to discuss it. I've already planned it. After I get the rent, I will travel to Hangzhou. As the saying goes, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This time Hangzhou

It must have been a nice trip.”

Gao Mang sighed, "Mom, you just came back from traveling to Sichuan Province last month, why are you going to travel again so soon?"

Regarding his mother's character, Gao Mang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Gao Xiufen raised her chin and said, "You should walk around before you get old."

.......

afternoon,

Yang Bei started looking for a house.

You don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when you’re a family. In the previous life, Yang Bei had people arranging everything wherever he went. He had real estate in several first-tier cities.

But now that he has started renting a house, Yang Bei realizes that it is not easy.

The housing prices in Beijing were too high and he couldn't afford to rent them. The rents of some houses were acceptable, but they were too narrow and cramped, and the lighting was not good.

What made Yang Bei laugh and cry the most was that the old lady of one of the landlords actually recognized Yang Bei. She cursed him as a "beast", "not a human being" and "has no conscience", and drove him out with a kitchen knife.
