Saturday, November 27, 2021, at home.
As with countless weekends in the past, my husband bought groceries and cooked, I washed my clothes and cleaned, and the children wrote homework. While helping Andy clean up his room, I stumbled upon a couple of paintings—
Andy Work 1
andy works two
andy works three
These three paintings have a common feature, that is, they all have a house. I don't know when he painted it, or what his original intention was. For Andy, who was born and raised in Beijing, he sees more high-rise buildings. Even if I travel, I have never lived in such a house. Even if I went back to my grandmother's house in the countryside, there was no house like this he had painted.
When Andy was born, we lived on the eighth floor of Dad's unit dormitory, with exceptionally wide views. When Andy was four months old, we moved back to our home in Chaoyang Park East, and Andy went to work with me during the day and slept when we came back at night. Later, Andy went to school and moved to his current residence. In those years, whether I went to my unit or came home from school, it was a high-rise building. Where have you ever seen a house like this?
I calmed down and thought about it carefully. Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration in my head—I remembered. That time I went to Harrow School to participate in the bazaar, and there were such villas along the way. There was also a trip to Xiangjiang Road to participate in the Dream Tree activity, and there were similar villas around. Of course, we also have a relative who also lives in the villa area. Andy classmates This is too long to want to participate in the event? Or do you want to go to relatives? Or do you aspire to own a house like this? He smiled and didn't answer, and I don't know.
In my spare time, I once talked to my husband and once said that I hope to have a small courtyard after retirement, plant some flowers and plants, plant some fruit trees and vegetables. I want to live a kind of retirement life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the South Mountain". I know that the ideal is full, the reality is bone. Beijing this house price, the villa is also lip service, really can't afford to buy.
Now, Andy's classmates have realized my villa dream with a paintbrush. To realize this beautiful vision, we roll up our sleeves and work hard. There is hope in life, and maybe hard work will come true.
