When I bought this 32-story penthouse, it was a decision made against the cynicism of my whole family and relatives. One by one, they chattered to me: "On the top floor, your head is caught in the door, right? It's hot and stuffy, climbing the stairs can make people tired like dogs!" But what about me, like a mirror in my heart, how can I be so easily shaken by the things I recognize?
Let's talk about my aunt first, she didn't stop talking about it: "I said Ah Tao, why don't you want to buy the top floor? The stairs climb so that your knees have to be scrapped!" And my cousin is even more straightforward: "Who still lives on the top floor now? It's not the last century! When the elevator breaks, it's strange if you don't get tired to die when you climb up!"
As for me, listening to their nagging, with a smile on my face, I have my own little Jiujiu in my heart. That's the private territory of my dreams, with that exclusive sky, that quiet in the city, and that invincible scenery, do you think I can't be moved?
After the renovation of the new house, I happily moved in, and coincidentally, on the same day, the old Li family on the 31st floor also moved in. Lao Li is a warm-hearted uncle, and his little grandson Doudou is even more clever like a little monkey, with a pair of bright eyes, which is especially popular.
However, it didn't take long for the good days to pass, and Aunt Wang on the 30th floor began to complain frequently, saying that Doudou was bouncing around at home, making their family unpeaceful. At the beginning, Lao Li's family could still bear to explain, but there were many complaints, and the relationship between the two families was like a powder keg, which exploded at one point.
One day, I was watching the sunset on the balcony when there was a sudden uproar downstairs. Aunt Wang scolded at the top of her voice: "Your children can't stop for a while, the noise is so loud that the old man in our family is going to have a heart attack!" Lao Li's face turned red, and he forced his anger: "Doudou is still a child, and it is inevitable to make trouble." I've tried to restrain myself as much as possible, so you can't be considerate?"
When Aunt Wang heard this, the anger became even greater: "Considerate? Have you ever been considerate of us? If it goes on like this, I will call the police directly!" After speaking, she shook her hand and left, leaving Lao Li's family stunned in place.
Hearing this scene, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart: fortunately, I chose the top floor, the war between the neighbors is eight feet away from me, and it is clean!
The days on the top floor are more and more comfortable. In the morning, birds chirp outside the window, waking me up from my dreams, and at night, when I look up, I can see a sky full of stars, as if I could reach out and pluck them. Especially the two families downstairs had a lot of trouble because of the children's quarrels, and even when I started it, I felt that I had chosen the top floor too wisely.
When I came back, I met Lao Li in the corridor, and he had a sad face: "Taozi, do you think I should simply move? I patted him on the shoulder and gave him a few tricks: "Lao Li, try laying a soundproof carpet, and move the furniture to reduce noise transmission." Then make it clear to Doudou and let him play outside as much as possible or choose a quiet time to play. ”
After listening to this, Lao Li's eyes lit up and he thanked me repeatedly. I thought to myself: the benefits of this top floor are really known only to those who have lived in it.
A week later, the noise problem of Lao Li's house was solved, and the neighborhood relationship gradually eased. And my life on the top floor is more and more moisturized.
In the summer, when the air conditioner in other people's homes is buzzing, and the house is as hot as a steamer, I am very comfortable to enjoy the natural breeze under the grape trellis on my balcony. In winter, other people's homes are cold and damp, but I can hold a cup of hot tea and flip through a good book by the sun-drenched bay window, not to mention how comfortable it is.
On weekends, I like to invite my friends over for dinner. As soon as they entered my house, they saw the invincible night view of the city, the spacious terrace, and the undisturbed private space, and they were all envious: "Hey, you have chosen the top floor, you really have yours! I laughed at you for being stupid at the beginning, but now it seems that you kid really has a vision!"
Looking back, the relatives who laughed at me for buying the top floor have now changed their words and praised me. They begin to understand that the top floor is not as bad as they think, but hides a lot of unexpected good.
My aunt sighed at the family gathering: "Ah Tao, you are living a good life now, it is really eye-catching." It seems that we all misunderstood the top floor in the first place. I smiled and responded, "Actually, the one that suits you is the best."
For me, the top floor is the ideal comfort zone. It allowed me to stay away from the conflicts between my neighbors and have my own quiet sky. Sometimes, it takes a bit of courage to make a choice, and it is even more necessary to heed the call of the heart. ”
The "fool" choice in the eyes of others is a unique harbor of happiness in my heart.
Therefore, no matter what others think, we have the final say on our own days!
