“...... With that thick coat, I didn't freeze to death at that moment. ”

Under the incandescent lamp, with a chill, the breeze of water vapor blows into the house from time to time, shaking the shadows of the people under the lamp.

The old man's somewhat cloudy eyes were in a trance, looking at the front of him, and said,

The old lady stretched out her wrinkled hand and put it on the back of the old man's hand.

The old man turned his head, looked at the old lady, turned his head, and said with a smile again,

“...... Now I have a big scar on my back, and I have a burn on my back. ”

The tone was relaxed, and the old man said with a smile.

The boy, who was listening intently, turned around and looked at the old man's back with concern.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged woman at the table who was still with her head down and a smile on her face, and then looked at a few people at the table, but didn't say anything, quietly listening to the old man's narration.

......

“...... It's okay, grandpa doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt a long time ago. ”

Under the lamp, the old man turned his head, smiled and said something to the boy who was looking at him with concern, turned his head, paused, and continued,

“...... I, I grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and at that time, I was so big, and when my father left, I didn't have any relatives. Just lean on the village, eat something in this house, eat something in that house. As soon as I went to the village to eat, I ran to the door of someone's house, and when someone else was eating, I stood at the door and watched......"

“...... At that time, it was not easy for anyone, the grain in the field was only those harvests, and it was not certain whether the food in the house was enough for their own food, and every family was starving. However, the people in the village, watching me do evil, will still give me a bowl of rice from time to time. It wasn't possible to eat much, but it didn't starve me to death. I relied on that bowl of porridge and porridge to survive.

These prescriptions I know now were also taught to me by the old doctor in the village at that time. ”

The old man smiled, said, looked out of the house, and then turned his head,

“...... That's why I said, everyone has a rare time, and if they can help, they can help. ”

“...... Young man, big girl, you say, is this the truth? ”

Turning his head, the old man said loudly at Lian Ge and the middle-aged woman.

Hearing the sound and turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the old man and smiled slightly.

Next to her, the middle-aged woman was still lowering her head, and the white-eyed eyes were looking straight in front of her with the other eye, and the smile on her face gradually appeared, as if she was listening to something funny.

“...... Young man, there are still some noodles in the pot, I'll go get you some more. ”

The old man turned his head, smiled, looked at Lian Ge again, and said loudly,

"Thank you, old man, one bowl is enough. ”

“...... Yes. ”

The old man smiled in response, and then lowered his head to look at the boy beside him,

“...... Xiao Qi, are you still eating?"

In the bowl of noodles in front of the boy, there was still half a bowl of noodles left, the boy heard the sound, looked at the old man, and then looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him, hesitated, and shook his head,

“...... Uh-huh, woo-woo-woo......"

“...... This time it's too much, don't let it be like this next time, otherwise the food will be wasted. ”

“...... Woo woo, uh woo ......"

When the boy heard the old man's words, he gestured earnestly, and made some sounds from his mouth.

“...... Okay, then you'll eat when you're hungry later. ”

With a smile, the old man looked at his grandson and answered again.

“...... Big girl, do you want some noodles?"

Next to her, the old lady looked at her grandson and the old man, turned her head, and greeted the middle-aged woman with a smile.

“...... The old man was also an orphan when he was a child. ”

At this time, the middle-aged woman raised her head again, and some of her scattered hair parted to the sides, revealing her face with birthmarks and scars on the edges of birthmarks. With a smile on his face, the crumpled scar twisted more and more. didn't answer the old lady's words, but turned his head, looked at the old man, and said in a loud voice,

"Since the old man has talked about his own business, then I will also tell the old man about my business. ”

The middle-aged woman smiled as she spoke, the incandescent light reflected on her face, reflecting the horrible scars, birthmarks, and the whites of the eyes, the lips that were cut by the scars.

The boy sitting at the table turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman, his face couldn't help but be a little frightened, and he shrank down beside his grandfather.

The old man turned his head, turned his somewhat cloudy gaze, looked at the middle-aged woman, and then turned his head to look at the old lady,

“...... Old woman, you go boil some water, take a hot bath for Xiao Qi, change your clothes, and just get drenched in the rain, so as not to catch a cold later. ”

"Xiao Qi, go and help grandma boil the water, let grandma boil more, grandpa will have to wash it in a while." ”

Laughing, turning his head, the old man said to the boy again,

The boy listened to his grandfather's words, and at first raised his two hands in some confusion, and looked at the clothes that had not been wet with much rain and had dried at this time. Immediately after, I heard the second half of the sentence, and nodded again,

"Uh-huh, woo-woo-woo......"

“...... Go ahead. ”

The old man laughed, touched the boy's hair, and said again.

The old lady stood up, picked up a few empty noodle bowls on the table, and led the boy to the kitchen in the back room.

The boy also reached out his hand, holding his bowl of noodles that was still half left, and quickly ran after his grandmother into the kitchen.

“...... It's so nice, it's so good......"

The middle-aged woman looked at the old lady and the boy with a smile on her face and said.

The old man smiled and watched his grandson and his wife walk into the back room, before turning his head again and looking at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman also followed, and then slowly turned her head, looking at the front, with a smile on her face, but did not continue to speak,

Glancing at the middle-aged woman, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and didn't say anything.

Under the incandescent lamp, the hall was quiet.

......

“...... Unlike the elderly, I never met my parents. But I think it wouldn't be too nice to be able to give birth to something as weird as me. ”

The middle-aged woman turned her head, smiled on her face, and said aloud,

The old man listened to the middle-aged woman's words, looked at the middle-aged woman's face, and shook his head,

“...... It's like an old man, you see this look, I guess it's my biological parents, and they can't accept it, so they threw me out. ”

The middle-aged woman smiled on her face and seemed to say something funny,

“...... If you can't accept it, why did you give birth to me? I was born, I saw it, why didn't you just kill me, when I was young, I kept thinking about it, but I never understood it. ”

With a smile on her face, the middle-aged woman continued.

“...... I was thrown into a ditch on the side of the road, out of water, and the guy who picked me up said that when he picked me up, I was completely unclothed. It was also winter, and perhaps, my parents, just wanted to kill me, but they didn't want to get blood on their hands and get their hands dirty. ”

Laughing, the more smiles on her face, the middle-aged woman seemed to say something funny,

Beside him, the old man listened, was a little silent, and then shook his head.

Turning his gaze, he glanced at the middle-aged woman, retracted his gaze, and then looked into the distance through the open half-door of the house, quietly listening to the woman's narration.

A gust of wind passed through the half-open door, shaking the shadows of several people at the table in the room,

It seemed to bring some moisture, and the breeze disturbed the placket of the clothes, and it became colder.
