MTL - My 26-year-old Female Tenant-Chapter 5 : wait for now

  In the wind and rain, I took a taxi back to the dilapidated community where I lived for 2 years, got out of the car, and subconsciously looked to see if Mi Cai's Audi q7 was parked downstairs.

Fortunately, the car is not there, and even luckier: I haven’t returned the house key to Mi Cai, I thought optimistically: Anyway, Dad will stay overnight, if she doesn’t come back tonight, everything will be a surprise Is the risk settled?

  I ran back to the house as fast as I could, put my luggage back where it was in the shortest time, and made the bed again. Then I stood at the bus stop with an umbrella and waited for my father to arrive.

  About a quarter of an hour, a bus from the long-distance bus station came slowly. I raised my neck and looked around, and sure enough, I saw Ban Dad walking out of the bus with a briefcase.

  I waved at him and shouted: "Ban Dae, this way."

  Ban Dae came to me unexpectedly and asked, "Didn't you go to dinner with your colleagues?"

   "Eating is a trivial matter, and your coming is a major event. I can tell the difference." I said, taking the briefcase from Ban Dae and carrying it for him.

  Ban Dae was silent, and followed me to the community.

  I complained: "Ban Dae, you are on a business trip at public expense. Next time you come to my place, can you pay directly? It's not that you won't be reimbursed!"

   "Public expenses are also money, saving a little is a little." Ban Dad said seriously.

   "Our government's trillions of foreign exchange reserves are stored in the United States, not bad for your little taxi money!"

Ban Dae has no words, obviously he is not willing to argue with me on values, he has always been like this, as long as he thinks it is right, he is never willing to explain, as if he is an independent world, and then he will do it in this independent world Deputy Chief for 15 years.

  …

Back in the house, Dad took out a stainless steel lunch box from the other bag besides the briefcase and said to me: "This is the wild crucian carp I caught last week. Your mother cooked it. Let me bring it to you." You eat, you can just heat it up when you want to eat it, or it doesn’t matter if it’s not hot."

   "Let's eat it tonight."

  Ban Dad looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Didn't you eat with your colleagues?"

   "Didn't you come here? You came back after eating half of it." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly interrupted: "By the way, Dad, did you bring the glutinous rice wine made by my mother this time?"

  Ban Dae nodded, and took out a bottle of orange juice from his bag, which contained the glutinous rice wine I like to drink.

  Ban Dad and I poured a glass of glutinous rice wine, ate the cooked crucian carp and peanuts, and waited for the white rice porridge boiled in the rice cooker, chatting without saying a word.

  I was a little absent-minded, I was afraid that Mi Cai would come back suddenly, it doesn't matter to scare her, if I show my secrets in front of Ban Dae, I can die.

  …

Just after drinking a glass of glutinous rice wine, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the sound of a key being inserted into the lock, I was a little panicked, I glanced at Ban Dad, and then at the door that was close at hand .

  The door was opened, and it was Mi Cai who walked in. The scene in front of her made her freeze in place, but Ban Dae didn't react too much, and only regarded Mi Cai as the person I rented with, or as my girlfriend.

Before Mi Cai could speak, I grabbed her arm and asked with concern: "Have you been drinking? I'll help you into the house... Please don't thank me, we all rent together, this is what I should do .”

  I said it politely, but at an angle that my dad couldn't see, I raised my hand to cover Mi Cai's mouth, and pushed her into her room with a few steps.

   "Scum... let me go!" Mi Cai struggled and said vaguely.

   "Don't yell!" I said in a low voice.

  Mi Cai struggled to take out her mobile phone from her pocket again. Any fool would know that she wanted the police to deal with me. My behavior was indeed a crime of breaking and entering.

  I snatched the phone from her hand, pushed her down on the bed, and rode on her to prevent her from continuing to struggle. I didn't care what a rogue posture it was.

  I lowered my voice and said nervously, "Stop yelling, let my dad hear me, and I'll die!"

  Mi Cai ignored me at all, with a terrified expression, instinctively raised her hand and grabbed my hair tightly.

  I was so painful that I was about to collapse, I grinned but didn't dare to say a word: "Be gentle, your head will be pulled bald by you!"

   "Scum..." Mi Cai, whose mouth was covered by me, shouted vaguely.

  I said angrily: "I'm a scum...!"

Then he said in a low voice: "But in my dad's eyes! He has high blood pressure. If you know that I'm penniless and don't even have a place to live, I'll be angry with him... Big sister, you Just take pity on me and deal with it all night, he is on a business trip and will leave tomorrow morning...I promise I will never bother you in the future!"

  Mi Cai finally stopped struggling and let go of my hair, but her beautiful eyes still stared at me with hatred and disgust.

  I carefully let go of the hand covering Mi Cai's mouth, this time she finally didn't yell again.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and it took me a moment to realize that I was still riding on Mi Cai. When I was about to stand up with apologies, Mi Cai twisted her body and pushed me hard. I fell straight off the bed with a "boom" down.

   "Zhaoyang, what are you doing in there?" Father Ban asked when he heard the movement.

  I endured the pain and said, "I hit the cabinet..."

  Ban Dae didn't ask any more questions, Mi Cai finally looked at me with a smiley but angry expression after revenge.

   "I warn you not to talk nonsense! My dad really has high blood pressure and can't stand the blow. You stay in the room for me and are not allowed to go out!"

  Mi Cai neither agree nor deny.

  I made another gesture of please, but she still didn't speak. I could only comfort myself when she acquiesced, and looked at her pleadingly, and then closed the door and walked out of the house.

  ...

  When I came to the living room, Ban Dae had already gone to the kitchen to fill up 3 bowls of rice porridge, and said to me: "Zhaoyang, go and deliver a bowl of porridge to that girl. After drinking, I need something to eat. I can't bear the hunger."

   "You let her rest."

  As soon as I finished speaking, Mi Cai came out of the room with her handbag...

  Based on my previous evil deeds, Mi Cai couldn’t cut me too much. Exposing me in front of Ban Dae at this time is just retribution for me.

  Just as I was getting weak from the tension, Mi Cai walked towards the door without looking sideways. It seemed that she planned to leave this room to me tonight.

  Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the usually dull father said to Mi Cai who hadn't walked out the door yet: "Girl, I made a bowl of porridge for you, drink it while it's hot."

  I wish Mi Cai would leave quickly, and I kept winking at her, but I didn't want Mi Cai to look at me, and then nodded at Ban Daddy and said, "Thank you uncle."

  …

The two people who were fighting each other with their lives just now sat at the same table and drank porridge like this. I always acted like a suspect who had done something wrong. if.

  I glanced at Mi Cai from the corner of my eye from time to time, but I didn’t know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but she didn’t seem to intend to tell Ban Dad on me, she just sipped the porridge.

Ban Dae has always been dull and doesn't like to talk, and he concentrates more on eating than others, so he finished the porridge in the bowl first, got up and picked up his handbag, and said to me: "There are people living here, I will go to the hotel .”

  I looked at Mi Cai and said to Ban Dae: "Ban Dae, don't leave, just go back and sleep with me."

   "Recently, you have been snoring a lot. You have to go to work tomorrow, so it won't affect your sleep." Dad shook his head and said, then took out a sweater from his bag and handed it to me: "Your mother knitted you a sweater."

  I took it over and looked at it, and asked a little puzzled, "Why did you weave two pieces?"

   "When you get married, I will wear it for you. The sweater knitted at home is thick!"

  I feel a little helpless, I know that my father and mother reminded me to find a girlfriend in such a subtle way again.

  I looked at Mi Cai, who was still drinking rice porridge, and said teasingly, "It's getting cold, I'll give you a sweater later!"

   Mi Cai glared at me, after all, he didn't get angry in front of Ban Dae, but I was secretly happy.

  …

  Before he left, Dad counted another 3,000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to me, saying, "Take it."

  I smiled indifferently: "Why do you give me money, I am not short of money!"

Dad put the money into my hand: "I gave birth to you. I know your characteristics very well. How many times have I told you that you have to plan your money... Take time to pay the utility bills." Said After that, he looked at the water and electricity payment reminder that fell on the ground a few days ago.

Suddenly, my nose felt a little sore. I am really not a son who can make my parents worry, so I put the money back into my father's hand: "I really don't need it. My mother is not in good health. You save it to buy some health care for her." Good, I'll get paid next week."

  Ban Dae didn't say much, he put the money on the table, looked at Mi Cai again, and walked out the door alone.

  …

  I caught up with Ban Dae and sent him downstairs, and he said to me in silence all the time: "That girl just now is not bad, she looks good!"

  I grabbed Ban Dae, looked at the q7 parked next to me and said, "Ban Dae, quickly put away your fantasies, she is not my type... see if that car is her car."

  Ban Dae followed my gaze and looked at the red q7 with a puzzled expression on his face. I think he was also surprised why Mi Cai lived in such an old place while driving such a car.

In the end, Ban Dae habitually chose to remain silent. He was helpless in my terrible situation. In fact, no matter whether we want to admit it or not, we are already in an era where money is needed to prove love, so I let him put it away. Fantasy, I am even more unwilling to fantasize!

   This night, after my father finally left me a sentence of "work hard", he left in the rain holding an umbrella.

Looking at his old back in the rain, I read his expectations in this sentence. He expects me to work hard, marry a girl, and let him hold a grandson... But Dad, I am living in my own In helplessness and struggle, living in the heaviness and pull of reality, there are so many things to be realized, so wait for now! ...how are you?
