Chapter 650: The Old Lady and the Boy
In the hall, the middle-aged woman spoke, and then fell silent.
Looking out of the house, it seemed to be looking at the falling rain, and his eyes were in a trance, and he was a little distracted.
Beside him, the old man bent over his waist, stood at the table again, and then sat down again.
Picking up the tea in his hand, Lian Ge looked outside the house, took another sip, and didn't say anything.
It's just that after a while, the tea in the cup is much colder again.
......
“...... She stopped me, and I stopped, turned around, and looked at her. She smiled, looked at me, told me to wait, put down the broom in her hand, said a few more words to the child, and walked into the house. ”
The middle-aged woman was silent, looked into the distance, seemed to recall, and then spoke aloud,
“...... I was standing at the edge of the yard and looking at the child who was still standing in the yard, it was a boy, a few years younger than I was then. When the old lady had entered the house, the boy stood in the courtyard, not moving, but leaning sideways, as if listening to my movements, his eyes kept squinting and closed, and the boy was blind. ”
“...... I stood at the edge of the yard and looked at the boy standing in the middle of the yard, and not long after the old lady came out of the house again, with a thick set of clothes in her hand. She smiled and handed me the old clothes for me to wear so that I wouldn't catch a cold. ”
“...... I looked at her, and she was standing on the edge of the courtyard, not moving...... She said a few more words to me, and the boy who took the old lady's clothes and followed the old lady also said to me, "Let me take it...... I took the suit and looked at the old lady, who didn't move or leave...... She looked at me, followed closely, looked at me again, and then smiled and said to me, let me go into the house, go into the house and change my clothes, she just has some hot water in the house, let me take a shower, and then change my clothes......"
“...... She beckoned to me, and the boy followed his grandmother's example, and said aloud......"
As the middle-aged woman spoke, a smile gradually appeared on her face, her eyes were a little dazed, and she looked into the distance.
“...... At that moment, I felt a strange feeling in my heart, as if I was very comfortable...... So I followed the old lady and the boy into the house...... She poured me some hot water and found me a shower in the backyard house, where I showered and changed into the outfit she gave me...... It's so warm, it's never been so warm, it's never been so comfortable......"
“...... I changed into my clothes and walked out of the room...... The old lady and the boy were in the backyard, the old lady was washing the dishes, the boy wanted to help, but because he couldn't see it, he couldn't intervene, the old lady smiled, and after washing the bowls, a bowl was handed to the boy, patiently, every time he handed a bowl, he told the boy where to put the bowl......
When she saw me come out after taking a shower and changing my clothes, the old lady took the boy with her, smiled, beckoned me, and walked towards me again.
I couldn't stop burying my head, I didn't want her to see my face, I couldn't stop being afraid in my heart, afraid that she would see my face and show disgust......"
As the middle-aged woman spoke, her eyes became more and more trance-like, and she couldn't help but smile a little on her face.
“...... She came up to me, saw that I didn't answer, looked at me, she should have seen the look on my face, but didn't say a word, just smiled and asked me if I wanted to eat something, and told me that there was still some left in the pot from the rice she had cooked with the boy earlier, and if I wanted to eat, she would give me hot ......."
“...... I looked up and looked at her, she looked at my face, still smiling, I hesitated, and agreed...... She turned around and went to the kitchen to heat her meal, and the boy took her clothes and followed, and I hesitated and followed into the kitchen.
The boy sat down at the door of the stove, fumbling for the wood behind him, and when the old lady had lit the fire, he added some wood to the stove from time to time. The old lady was busy cooking. I was standing next to me and didn't know what to do......"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman's eyes softened a lot, and a smile appeared on her face.
“...... The boy leaned over with some curiosity while burning the fire, and he asked me, 'Where did my sister come from?' and 'Did you see snow on the mountain when you came?'
He heard my voice earlier, and he called me sister...... I answered him, and I said it was snowing on the mountain...... He followed up and asked me what the snow was like, and if it was particularly beautiful...... I said it's white, it's white, it's white everywhere...... It's beautiful...... And he asked me, What is white...... Then, without waiting for me to answer, he nodded his head again and said, "It must be pretty, because my grandmother and I both say it's pretty......
I was standing by the door, talking to him, and he always seemed to have a lot of questions, but he wasn't as scared of me as other kids, probably because he couldn't see my face......
The old lady, right next to her, looked at me with a smile, looked at her grandson, watched us talk......"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman was silent again, looking out of the house, her eyes becoming more and more trance-like,
“...... When the rice and dishes were hot, the old lady helped me, brought it to the table in the backyard, handed me the bowl of rice and chopsticks, and brought a stool over for me to sit down and eat...... I just stood at the table, didn't reach for it, didn't sit down...... The boy reached out and fumbled, grabbed my clothes, and pulled me to sit down. ”
“...... When I sat down and began to eat with my rice bowl in hand, the old lady and boy sat down at the table with me......
It was a delicious meal, as if I had never eaten anything so good, and it was better than what I had cooked in that room before...... I couldn't help but take one bite at a time, and ate it in a big bite...... The old lady smiled next to me and said to me, let me eat slowly, she will cook it if it is not enough...... The boy heard what was going on on my side and said to me, "My sister is hungry, and he is hungry......"
“...... While we were eating, the old lady was talking to me, and she asked me where I was from, and why I was like this...... I said, I was an orphan and was thrown away by my parents...... Then the adoptive father who adopted me died, and I came out...... I lied...... The old lady listened to me and looked at me, and her eyes gradually became a little pitiful......
On weekdays, when someone looks at me like this, I feel uncomfortable and want to run away...... At that time, the old lady took pity on me, but I couldn't stop it, and I felt a little comfortable in my heart...... Like, I want her to pity me......"
“...... In the beginning, I ate very quickly, and the more I got to the back, the slower I ate...... I don't want to finish that meal...... I think I can just sit there all the time, talk to the old lady and the boy......"
“...... However, the meal was still finished...... However, as soon as the meal was finished, it began to rain again outside the house, and the old lady looked outside the house and told me to stay and wait until the rain stopped before leaving...... I couldn't stop being happy from the bottom of my heart...... It was in that room that I talked to the old lady and the boy all afternoon...... Most of all, the boy kept talking, and the boy seemed to be very curious about the outside, and always asked me a lot of questions, and I kept answering. But I seem to like it a lot, and I like it when people ask me questions......"
