I am 26 years old and live alone in an old rental house in Jiangbei District. This small room of less than 20 square meters is the lowest price I can afford, with basic facilities and peeling walls, but barely sheltered from the elements. I live alone, and I work and sleep every day, so I don't have high requirements for the living environment, and I just want to sleep peacefully at night.
When I first moved in, I was quite happy with the house. It wasn't until a young couple moved in next door that my life started to be less peaceful. They introduced themselves as surnamed Li, the male was Jian, and the female was Min. They both look like they're under 30 years old, and they're a pair of energetic young people. During the day, Brother Jian goes to work and Sister Min is at home, they will dry their clothes on the balcony and chat, and the relationship seems to be very good.
"Honey, are you tired from work today?"
"It's okay, but what I want to do now is hug you!"
Then there was laughter, then there was the creaking of the bed. Sometimes Sister Min's voice sounds so high that it makes me blush and my heart beats, and I can't sleep.
When I saw Brother Jian and Sister Min during the day, it was difficult to look at them directly, and I always felt that I knew secrets that I shouldn't know. Once, I couldn't help it anymore and went to the landlord to complain: "Uncle Zhang, I really can't stand it, can I change to a quieter room?"
Uncle Zhang is an old man with gray hair, and after listening to me, he laughed: "Young people, it's normal to be energetic, don't mind too much, just get used to Xi it." ”
Once, they were chatting again on the balcony during the day, and the voice came to my ears:
"Brother Jian, why don't we be quiet at night?"
"Xiaomin, don't worry about it so much, our life doesn't need to be explained to anyone!"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: shameless!
Hearing Li Jian's words, I was indignant. I shared the walls of a rental house with them, but I was treated like an outsider. I began to reflect on whether I was too demanding, but on second thought, any normal person would be disgusted by being disturbed like this.
I frowned, "No, I'm going back to sleep." ”
"Haha, seeing that your dark circles are so heavy, you must need sleep. Li Jian teased.
I ignored his words and went straight back to the house.
I plucked up the courage and said, "I'm sorry, I want to ask you to be quiet at night, I really need to rest." ”
Li Min said in surprise: "Are we so noisy? I'm sorry, we'll pay attention." ”
I thought the problem was solved, but that night it was even louder, and I stomped my foot in anger. The devastation was like torture, and I began to struggle with whether or not to move out. But the rent is cheap, and I can't bear to admit defeat.
After a few days, I couldn't take it anymore and decided to call the police. When they started "exercising" again at night, I dialed 110: "Uncle policeman, I want to call the police, my neighbor is disturbing the people at night too badly, affecting my rest." ”
Soon two policemen arrived, and I pointed to the next door and said, "It's just them, it's too noisy, you can help me tell them." ”
The police knocked on the door of Li Jian's house, and I nervously waited for the result.
Li Jian opened the door with an impatient expression: "What are you doing?"
The policeman said, "Sir, the neighbor has reported that you are too noisy at night, and I hope you will cooperate to reduce the movement." ”
"What, are we so noisy? Do people say we're noisy?" Li Jian said dissatisfiedly.
I saw that the policeman's face also became serious: "Sir, please cooperate and don't complicate things." ”
Li Jian said reluctantly: "I know, I know, we will be quiet." ”
After the police left, I hid behind the door and looked next door, for fear that Li Jian and Li Min would knock on my door directly. Thankfully, their doors were closed, and there did not appear to be an immediate act of retaliation.
I lay in bed and wondered if I was going too far. It's true that living in a rental house inevitably leads to some sounds of life, am I asking too much? But on second thought, any normal person would collapse every night when they are tortured like this. I also have the right to fight for a good sleeping environment.
Sure enough, the sound was a little quieter that night, but it was still continuous. There seemed to be no end to my torment. At two o'clock in the evening, I called the police again on 110. This time, three policemen came, and they knocked directly on the door of Li Jian and Li Min's room, and Li Jian shouted from inside: "Who knocked on the door so fiercely!"
The policeman said, "Sir, we have received your alarm again to disturb the people, please stop the noise at night immediately." ”
Li Jian said angrily: "Are we so noisy? We just live a normal life!"
"Sir, you must respect the rights of other tenants. "The police didn't back down.
"Okay, okay, we got it. Li Jian said impatiently.
The police confirmed the situation with me and left. I saw Li Jian glaring at me fiercely, and my heart tightened.
In the days that followed, I went in and out with trepidation, fearing that they would wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Once, when I came home, I saw a large cardboard box at the door. I cautiously opened it and saw that it was filled with all kinds of sex toys! I blushed and immediately moved it into the house. This is obviously a malicious prank by Li Jian and Li Min!
I was startled and hurried to the door to eavesdrop. I heard a strange man say, "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, we are your tenants upstairs." We would like to ask you to be quieter at night, as it is too loud for your child to fall asleep. ”
Li Jian was obviously surprised: "What? Are we moving a lot? We are just living a normal life!"
When I heard this, I suddenly understood, it turned out that Li Jian and Li Min's "exercise" in the middle of the night was so loud that it had reached the neighbor's room upstairs, and their children were also affected. Now Li Jian and Li Min must be to blame.
I nodded a little confused and hurried away.
That night, there was no movement. I was amazed that they actually knew what they were wrong and corrected it. In the past few days, Li Jian and Li Min have become more and more low-key, and even nodded politely when they saw me.
In this way, more than a month has passed, and we actually get along. One day, Li Min took the initiative to come and chat with me: "Neighbor, I'm really sorry, we were too noisy at night." ”
I was a little embarrassed: "It's not your fault, maybe I'm overreacting." ”
It dawned on me that they needed to renovate and didn't mean to disturb the people. Looks like this whole thing was my misunderstanding!
After listening to Li Min's explanation, I was very surprised and embarrassed. It turned out that their big movement at night was due to decoration, but I mistakenly thought it was other reasons, and called the police many times to disturb the people. It made me see my own preconceptions and intolerance.
"I'm sorry, I really misunderstood you. I was a little embarrassed to say.
"We also have a responsibility to inform our neighbors first. Li Min said generously, "Let's all learn a little lesson from this incident." ”
I nodded and decided to take the initiative to reconcile with them.
That night, I knocked on Li Jian and Li Min's door with a box of snacks in my hand. Li Jian opened the door and said with some surprise: "Eh, neighbor, is there something wrong?"
I smiled awkwardly: "Well, I'm here to reconcile with you, and I want to express my gratitude for your deliberate control of life during this time so as not to disturb the people." This is a little bit of my heart that I have prepared, and I hope you will accept it. ”
"Oops, neighbor, you're so polite!" Li Min also came to the door and happily took the snack, "We all live together, we should understand each other." ”
I saw a friendly smile on the faces of Li Jian and Li Min, and I couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that I misunderstood you, you are a very loving couple." I shouldn't make a fuss just because there's a sound of life next door, it's a normal state of life. I really hope that from now on we can live in harmony and learn from each other Xi tolerate. ”
"Okay, that's what it sounds like!" Li Jian said happily, "In the future, if you don't understand anything, come to us to talk to us, and we young people should be united and friendly!"
I smiled and nodded, and decided to open my heart and stop looking at people in a biased light. There is a greater need for understanding and tolerance between people, rather than suspicion and suspicion.
Since then, I have become good neighbors with Li Jian and Li Min. We would often chat, chat, cook and eat together. Sometimes when I am under pressure at work, Li Min will take the initiative to bring fruit to comfort me. I also send snacks when they are working hard to decorate. Whenever I hear their voices of life, I am no longer as irritable as before, but I wish them happiness.
Misunderstandings between people often stem from different understandings of life conditions, and when you adopt an inclusive attitude, you will find that everyone is actually just trying to live their own lives. I think that's what inspired me.
As the misunderstanding between me and Li Jian and Li Min was resolved, our relationship became more and more harmonious.
One night, Li Min came to knock on my door and said with a smile, "Neighbor, we have prepared a snack, let's eat together?"
I gladly agreed and went to their room. Li Jian warmly beckoned me to sit down: "Oh, welcome, welcome, we are thinking about when we can invite you to come and sit down!"
"Then you're welcome. I laughed.
The three of them sat around a small table and ate their snacks. Li Min's craftsmanship is very good, the cake made is soft and glutinous, and I can't help but eat a few more pieces. Li Jian patted me on the shoulder and said, "It feels like we're like a family, right?"
I nodded, a long-lost sense of warmth welling up in my heart.
After a snack, we talked about our daily lives. Li Min talked about their decoration, it turned out to be to prepare a child.
"Huh, congratulations!" I said happily.
"Thank you!" Li Min blushed, "I'm two months pregnant now. ”
"Oh, it's not easy to decorate so hard while pregnant. "I'm a little reluctant to go.
"This is our child, of course I am reluctant to let Min Min work!" Li Jian held Li Min's hand, his face full of happiness.
I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw their joyful faces. Before leaving, I said to them, "If there is anything you need to help, let me know, and I will do my best to help!"
"Thank you! We're family. Li Jian patted me on the shoulder.
When I got back to my room, I still had a smile on my face. How could I not have seen that this couple was actually so loving and human? I really had to reflect on my own prejudices.
Since then, I have been visiting Li Min often to care about her physical condition. Her stomach was bulging, and she struggled to walk. Every time I passed, she had a happy smile on her face.
I often ask myself whether the misunderstandings between people are due to our indifference and selfishness, and we could have overcome all the barriers with a tolerant and kind heart.
This lovely couple made me rediscover the warmth of human nature, and I think this is the most precious lesson life has taught me.
