Phantse umnyaka ndahlala noCyril kumtshato womtshato. Sasingenalo indlu yethu, sahamba ukusuka kubazali bakhe ukuya kum. Kwaye, ekugqibeleni, bathetha ukusemthethweni ubudlelwane. Emva kokufunda ngale nto, izalamane zagubha ngokukhululeka. Kodwa ngexesha elifanayo wabuza apho esiya kuhlala khona. "Intsapho kufuneka ibe nendlu yayo," uFyodor Ilyich, uyise kaCyril, wachazwa ngokubanzi.
"Ndicinga ukuba ulutsha lwethu lufanelwe ilungelo lokuba namakhaya abo," umfazi wakhe usekelwa.
"Ewe, kuya kuba kuhle," umama wagula. "Kodwa bafumana phi imali eninzi?"
- Ndiyazi indlela yokuphuma! U-Iraida Lvovna wayejonge bonke abakhoyo ngokubukeka okuthakazelisayo.
- Yintoni? - andinakuyichasa yam iKirill. U-Iraida Lvovna wamemelela ngokumnandi kuye:
- Nyana, ekubeni wena noTanyusha banqume ukudala intsapho, ndicinga ukuba kuya kucetyiswa ukuba kwakhiwe indlu.
"Indlu?" Kiryukha. - Uyabanika, Mama! Ndinayo imali eyaneleyo kuphela kwisiseko.
- Yithwala indlu yethu yelizwe, kwaye kwindawo yayo iya kwakha indlu enkulu. Ngenxa yolonwabo lwakho, mna noba ndikulungele nantoni na. - Ngokufanayo, i-dacha sele isele ihluke. Ewe, Fedya? Wadonsa. Kodwa ngokungafuni ukucaca.
"Ndiyabulela ngenxa yesibonelelo," uKirill wabonga. "Andiyi kungena kule khoboka."
- Nawe unako. Uninzi lwekhredithi esiyihlawulayo, kwaye abanye bahlawula ngandlela-thile. Ebusuku bobusuku, mna noCyril saxoxa malunga nokunikezwa ngumamazala.
"Ndiyaxolisa, kodwa andisetyenziselwa izipho ezinjalo," ndaqala ukungathandabuzeki. "Khawucinge nje ukuba uninzi kangakanani le mali!"
- Yeka, i-Kirill yaxothwa. - Bona ngokwabo bathatha inyathelo. Ndaphakamisa ingca. - Ngokombono wam, uFeodor Ilyich akahlali nomdla ngale ngcamango. Uthanda ukuphumla e-dacha ... Wayebukeka obunzima.
- Oo, jonga njengento! Kiryukha. - Musa ukuseta! Umama wacebisa isisombululo esinengqiqo ... - Sigqibo! - UCyril wachaza, emva kwemizuzu elishumi. "Sithatha imali mboleko, siqala ukwakhiwa, kwaye ..." waguqa amehlo akhe ngokuphupha. "Ngaba unokucinga ukuba kukhulu kangakanani ukuba nekhaya?" Vuka, kwaye ngaphandle kwewindow - ingca engqiniweyo, iintaka zicula ... Krasotishcha!
"Kulungile, kulungile," ndihleka. - Cinga ukuba undiqinisekisile ... andikaze ndicinga ukuba ukwakha indlu kudibaniswe nephepha elibomvu tape. Ndiyabulela u-Iraida Lvovna, wathatha konke oku.
Zingaphi iziganeko kuye kwafuneka agijime malunga nokuseka indlu yesibini! Iingxaki zaqala kakade xa ukhetha ukuyila indlu. Umama kamasipala kamva uyaqinisekiswa, ukuba yiyiphi into, kwaye ngoyilo uyaziqonda ngokugqibeleleyo. Nangona kunjalo, oko akucebisa, kusishukumisela ukuba sibe ngothushe-into ebonakalayo enzima yenkqantosi ephakathi!
- Kubalulekile ukuba uqhubeke usesikhathini. Ngaphandle koko, indlu iya kuba yinto engasebenzi phambi kokuba sigqibe ukwakhiwa! UFedor Ilyich wasixhasa.
"Kulungile," wagubha. "Siza kuqesha umyili wezakhiwo."
- Kutheni sifuna umyili wezakhiwo? - Inyukuthelo yeKyyushka. - Umhlobo wam, uSasha Boyko, yinkampani yokwakha. Kuba mna, uya kwenza yonke into ibe ngumyinge wexabiso.
Iraida Lvovna wavuma. Ndacinga ukuba oku kukuphela kokungqubana. Kodwa hayi. Kule projekthi, eyayilungiswa nguSasha, uIraida Lvovna ufumene iphoso ixesha elide, kwafuneka litshintshwe kathathu.
Kwiinyanga ezimbini kuphela emva koko safumana imidwebo evunywe ngesandla. Ngokukhawuleza xa indlu yachithwa kwaye yaqala ukumba isiseko esitsha, yathi emva kwe "livila" (oko kukuthi, iqela lokwakha), iliso neliso liyadingeka. Njalo ekuseni u-Iraida Lvovna wagijimela kwisiza sokwakha ukuze agcine iliso kwinkqubela yomsebenzi. Emva koko wabiza uCyril waza wabika.
"Basebenza ngokupholile," khalaza. "Ukuba kwakungekho kum ... Ekugqibeleni indlu yakhiwa." Umsebenzi wokugqiba waqala. Kodwa apha phakathi kwam kunye nomama-mzala kamva kwakukho ukungaqondi kakuhle. Kwakubonakala kuye ukuba andingazi nantoni malunga neparquet engcono. Yaye yintoni i-tile efanelekileyo yokuhlambela okanye igumbi.
"Ikhitshi isoloko ikhulile kumanqaku ahlaza okwesibhakabhaka okanye eluhlaza," unina kaKirusha wabuza.
"Ngaphambi kokuba, akukho tile okanye ipende," andivumi.
- Ngoku ke ukhetho oluhle. Ndifuna ukuba ityile ibe yintsimbi.
- Kuya kuba luhle kakhulu!
- Iphepha lodonga kwientyatyambo - ngaba likhoyo namhlanje?
- Baya kujonga enkulu ngelinen yelinen, endikunike yona! - umama-mkhwenkwe akazange alahle. Ndinika ilinen ilinen ngasese, kodwa u-Iraida Lvovna akazange akhulume ngale nto. Ukuchasana okulandelayo kubangelwa ukuyila kweso siza malunga nendlu. Unina kaKyyusha wenza isigqibo sokutshala iibhedi kunye nemifuno, kwaye ndajonga kwiimbewu ezintle-i-petunias ne-lobelia.
"Uya kuba nemifuno yakho imihla ngemihla," u-Iraida Lvovna wasincenga. - Yaye yiyiphi imali?
"Ewe, ziphi na ezi zityalo?" - ndichasa. "Ungabathenga kwivenkile."
Ubuhle kubaluleke kakhulu! Emva koko sasilindele ilanga elitsha.
"U-Mamula wathenga amabini amabhande," kusho uKirill ngokukhawuleza.
"Kutheni?" - ndamangaliswa. "Siza kukhetha kunye."
"Uthe akafuni ukusiphazamisa emsebenzini," wamemeza ngokukhawuleza.
"Kodwa ngaba ama-chandeliers ubuncinane, abalungile?" - Ndadla ngokutsha.
Uthi njani, "wahluleka kakhulu. - Ngoko-ke ...
Ndabona, "ndathi. "Ngomso siza kuthenga ezinye." Ubuncinane into endiyithokozise endlwini yam!
- Hush! Kirill. "Kubonakala ngathi umama weza." Yivayo into oyithethayo - ecaphukile!
"Kodwa mna, ndingakwazi ukuqonda," ndatsho ngomsindo. "Kutheni engasiqhagamshelanga nathi?"
"Umama uyahlawula," uKyyukha wamgxotha emnyango. - Yenza ukuba akhulume ngokungenakwenzeka.
- Ewe, uyazi ... - Ndandithukuthele, kodwa andizange ndikwazi ukugqiba i-tirade enomsindo, kuba u-Iraida Lvovna waphumela ngaphandle egumbini.
- Ewe! UCyril usele ujabulisile kuwe?
- Kunokuba? - Ndabuza ngokukhawuleza.
- njani? Wabuza umamazala. - Kirill, njani? Awuxelelanga uTanya ukuba ndithenge ama-chandeliers?
- Nantsi i-bald! - UCyril wabhinca ibunzi lakhe. - Ujikeleza ukusuka entloko.
- Ewe, akukho nto, - uIraida Lvovna wamomotheka, - akukho nto. Ikhitshi iya kuhanjiswa kusasa. Kunye nefriji. Kwaye ngoLwesine ndaya kwigumbi lokulala.
- Uthetha ukuthini "Ndiya"? I-Grunted Cyril. "Ibhedi yinto ebalulekileyo, ngoko uTanya kunye nathi siya kukhetha kuphela igumbi lethu lokulala." "Kucacile," u-Iraida Lvovna wagxotha umlomo wakhe. - Awufuni-njengoko ufuna ... Ukuba ucinga ukuba ndinomdla ombi, yitsho njalo.
"Mama, wenzani!" - Kwizwi likaKiriyusha kwakukho ukuguquka. - Siyavuya kakhulu kuwe yonke into ...
- Enyanisweni? - amehlo omama-mkhwe wazaliswa ngeinyembezi. Ndaziva ndi neentloni. Ndiyamkela umamazala, ndandixolisa ngokucacileyo: "Ndiyabonga kakhulu ..."
Ukubulela kwethu kubandakanya enye into eyenziwa ngu-Iraida Lvovna. Xa ndibona ebhokisini isifuba sabantu abathintelayo, ndandifika ngokugqithiseleyo:
- Efanelekileyo? - Ukulindela indumiso, umama kamama wabuza. - Into e-antitique.
"MnaThixo wam, mhlawumbi akunakwenzeka ukuba umsuse kwindawo!" - Ngobunzima bokuthintela ukucaphukisa, ndaphefumula.
"Futhi ungatsho, mntana," umama-mkhwe wavuma. "Abaqhubi abazange bamdonsa apha." Ngaba uthanda lo mgcini?
"Hayi," ndandixhawula, ndamamatheka. "Kodwa ayinakulungelelanisa ne-inside yethu." Indlu isesitayela samanje. Kwaye ngokukhawuleza - i-antique chest of drawers!
- Akukho nto. - U-Iraida Lvovna wagijima ngesandla sakhe ngothandana. "Ingumngeni wangempela!" Ewe, uya kukukhonza iminyaka emnye! Kwaye nangaphezulu. "Mhlawumbi kuya kuba," ndacinga ngomsindo. "Hayi apha." Namhlanje ndiza kubeka uCyril imeko: mhlawumbi mna, okanye le nyuziyamu ibonisa! "Yaye ingongoma. Ukugqitywa kwexesha elide ku-Kiriukha kwakuphazamisekile. Kodwa umyeni wayenqabile ukubuyisela i-hukki kwisitorethi:
- Tanya! Qonda, umama akasoze axolele le monster. Uyakhubekiswa ngumsitho wephepha lodonga! Masikugubungele into ethile, ngombono we-drape ... Hlaziya nge-ikebana, Akuyi kuba nantoni kakhulu.
"Andifuni" kakhulu "! Ndaphuma. - Ndamkele izinto ezininzi. Kwanokutya okutya. Kwaye nge-crystal chandeliers, phantsi kwam ndiziva ndilungu le-Verkhovna Rada! Kwaye kunye negeranium, endiyithandayo.
"Tanechka, andizange ndiyazi ukuba unobungozi kwi-geraniums," Ndakuva ilizwi lika-Iraida Lvovna lilityala emva kwam ngokukhawuleza.
Imilenze yam yahamba. U yahamba!
"Uxolo, umntwana," umkhwekazi waqhubeka. "Ndiza kumbuyisela esitolo namhlanje ..."
"Kunene," ndathetha. Emva kweso siganeko, ndagqiba kwelokuba ndigcinwe.
Yintoni, ngokwenene, vzelsya? Omnye uza kukubulela wathi banomdla ngaye. Ekugqibeleni, ngoLwesithathu siza kusayinela, siye kwindlu entsha kwaye emva ... emva komzobo, sahlala phantsi ngokuthobeka. Kodwa ngoMgqibelo, wagubungqa itafile ye-chic egcekeni lendlu yakhe, phakathi kwezinto eziqhotyoshelweyo kunye ne-chorus yezwi. Usuke usinikezela ukusuka eKirill, amaxwebhu eendwendwe, uninazala waqaphela ngokukhawuleza:
"Hayi, kodwa ndiza kukunika into ngaphandle kwekhaya." - Wabuyela kumyeni wakhe: - Fedya, yisela umfanekiso. Wahlala e trong. UFyodor Ilyich ugijime ukuze enze isabelo. Emva komzuzu wabuya nomfanekiso omkhulu ezandleni zakhe. Xa ndijonge isipho, ndanditshitshisa. Ukusuka kwinqanawa, ubuso obomomothekayo bomama-mkhwenkwekazi ka-Iraida Lvovna bebukhangele.
- Uyayithanda? - evuyiswe ngumphumo owenziwe, umamazala wambuza. "Yiphi indlu?" Kwaye oku ... emva kokuba andiyi kuthi, kwaye uya kudala ukukhohlisa kobukho bam.
Wayebamba, wamphakamisa isandla sakhe esandleni sakhe kwamehlo akhe. UCyril wamkela ngothando unina ngamagxa:
"Mamulya, ungubani, ngokwenene!" Uselula kakhulu! Umzobo ... Kuhle kakhulu! Emva kweendwendwe, sahlamba izitya waza sahlala emnyango wokuphumla. Ukuphuza umoya ococekileyo ebusuku, uKyushushka wangibamba ngamagxa waza wathi:
"Mva, Tanyuha, ndilinganisile yonke into kwaye ndagqiba kwelokuba: ngoku mna kunye nathi sinokucinga ngokuphepha ngomntwana."
"Ngaba unyoko wakho utsho?" Kwaye akazange awise umthetho wesini somntwana, nangaliphi na ithuba, kuwe? Ndihleka ngokukhawuleza.
- Hayi! Asizange sibe nencoko enje, "wahleka. "Kodwa ufuna abazukulu babe abathathu."
- ezintathu? Ndakhala ngomsindo. "Nangona ... Kakade, indlu inkulu ... Ngaphambi kokuba ndicime ukukhanya, ndandibheka ngomsindo umamazala omileyo eludongeni. Kwaye ndazi ukuba iKirill ayifumananga enye indawo kuye ngaphandle kwegumbi lokulala! Ndazibuhlungu kukuba le yindlela esiya kuhlala ngayo phantsi kolawulo lukaIraida Lvovna.
"Ngobusuku obuhle," ndayigxotha kwi-portrait, ndibonisa ulwimi. Emva koko wayekhangela umyeni wakhe kunye nje xa uthe wongezwa: "Umama ..."
