Chapter 123: Bottles and Jars
The children and adults gathered around were all looking at these two children in strange costumes.
Grandpa said to grandma, "Why don't I know that there are these two villages near here?"
The grandmother said, "Don't ask yet, give the child a bath first, and then ask slowly, I don't smell the smell of the child." ”
Grandma beckoned to Grandma Tiedan, who was watching from the side: "Let's give the child a bath first, and then carefully ask where the child's mother is." ”
Grandma took off her sister's dirty clothes only to see that the girl had two abscesses the size of duck eggs on her back, and yellow pus was still flowing out, and the smell came from here, and after mixing with the smell on the clothes, it was very bad in the house.
The new bath room is a shower, and the grandmother endures the unpleasant smell and carefully bathes her, for fear that the water will wet the wound of the bottle again.
Grandma called grandpa in the bathroom to bring some gauze in a while.
Aunt Yan came back at this time, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard her grandmother's words, she handed Zhe Zhe to her uncle, and also entered the bathroom.
After the grandmother came out, she said to her grandfather: "I asked again when I was taking a bath just now, the two children don't know where their home is, they only know that it is next to the county seat, and they say that it is a garbage dump, and there are four families living there, do you know that place?"
Grandpa said, "I don't know, but I can ask." ”
Grandma said, "There are two abscesses on the back of that called Bottle, we have to show her." ”
Grandpa said, "I'll call Katsuko right now." ”
After the two girls took a bath, they both put on the two sets of beautiful clothes brought by Aunt Yan, and stood at the door, still holding hands tightly, the two little girls who were clean!
The dirt on his face was gone, and his true face was revealed.
The two of them look exactly the same, and they can't tell which is the sister and which is the younger sister, and now they can only know who is who by relying on two different colors of clothes, both of them are dark skin, squinted eyes, small noses and small mouths, thin faces, standing there is not timid at all, four small eyes meet the eyes of a group of children and a few adults, looking at them.
As soon as Meimei looked at the clothes they were wearing, she said, "Haha, they are wearing my clothes." ”
Feifei said, "Little sister, come down and play with us." "Bottles and cans have the meaning of going, but their feet don't move.
At this time, Katsuko's car stopped at the door.
On the way to the county seat, the grandfather asked the children some questions carefully, and the two children really didn't know much, and they couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
When the car was about to enter the county seat, the two girls didn't see an old man on the side of the road who was riding a dilapidated tricycle slowly, struggling to move forward, and Katsuko's car overtook him and drove towards the county seat.
went to the hospital first, and Sister Xiaoru was going to take her sister to the doctor and let her sister go to their 'home'.
The two sisters didn't want to be separated, so the grandfather said, "Then go and find it first." ”
When I inquired, I learned that there were two landfills, and I didn't know if I asked the child, so I had to go to the east in a daze, who knew that after arriving, the girl saw the garbage heap from a distance, and said that it was here, and the mother was in the front ditch.
The huge garbage dump was empty at this time, and the child led his grandfather and Katsuko to find the 'front ditch' along the road that was not a road in the strange smell and smell, in fact, it was a depression formed between two garbage heaps, and when I went in, I saw a shack built up by a few pieces of wood and bamboo poles, covered with some straw mats, broken quilts and plastic sheets, and the door was a bed of broken quilts, and when I opened it, it was the 'home' of bottles and cans.
Katsuko covered her nose along the way, helplessly the smell filled the entire field, and covering her mouth didn't work at all. When the two children saw the shack, they both cried 'wow'.
Grandpa pulled the bottle and lifted the tattered quilt, went in and looked at it for a while before coming out, and nodded at Katsuko with his mouth closed, meaning that he had found it, and the person was indeed gone.
At this time, a person walked around from the side, also dressed in tatters, looking to be in his forties, and shouting something in his mouth.
Tank saw it and cried out, "Uncle Dumb!"
Uncle Mute came over, and when he saw that it was a jar neatly packed, he stood far away, and continued to say something that no one understood.
When the grandfather came out with the bottle, he said to the dumb man, "You live here too?"
The mute understood his grandfather's question, and pointed behind him with a whimper.
Bottle Bottle said: "Uncle Dumb lives in the big hole." ”
Grandpa asked, "Then where does your grandfather Wang live?" Take me there. ”
Grandpa Wang's place is better, it is a simple house made of low shelves, the roof is a few large canvases, there are more than a dozen asbestos tiles pressed on it, surrounded by a wall surrounded by iron or asbestos tiles, and the door is also a quilt with exposed cotton wool.
Grandpa shouted a few times but no one answered.
Grandpa said to Katsuko: "Let's go to the police first, and then you take the child to the hospital, and I will accompany the police." ”
After they had walked for a while, the rickety old man came back on three wheels.
Grandpa arrived at the police station and asked Sister Xiaoru to go to the hospital with bottles and cans, and went in alone.
When Sister Xiaoru returned to the police station again, the third aunt and the third aunt also came, and it was already dark at this time.
After Grandpa and Katsuko took a bath, the third aunt took the three of us out and had dinner in the small private room of the restaurant at the entrance of the school.
Sister Xiaoru said about the child's treatment: "The doctor said that it was caused by long-term unhygiene, and it was repeatedly suppurated without treatment, so it got bigger and bigger, and all the pus and dirt in it were cleaned up, and the ointment was given, and the medicine insisted on applying the medicine and said that it would be good for about ten days." ”
Grandpa sighed and said: "Bottle Bottle Niang is also a hard-working disabled person, there is still a disease on the body, listen to the hunchback Wang Grandpa Bottle Bottle said: Bottle Bottle Can can this year should be a little more than four years old, is a summer birth, bottle Bottle Niang came seven or eight years ago, probably in her thirties, when she came there was one less hand, the body bone is not particularly good, coughing every day and sometimes vomiting blood, she came not long after she lived with a high cripple who came two years earlier. Within a few years, there were a pair of twins with bottles and cans, the child was born in the shack, and also grew up in the shack day by day, the child's mother don't look at themselves well, the two children are still very clean, every few days I go to the river over there to bathe the child, and the dirty clothes are washed and washed before the child wears, I don't know why, when the child was about two years old, the high lame man left, and never came back, the mother usually picked up garbage here, picked up the money that could be sold and gave it to me, I went to help them change it for money, cooking is also cooking on the edge of the shack, she was hungry for a full meal, but the child can basically be full, and then came to the dumb, The dumb man also lives here with a blind woman, and I help exchange things for money, and this summer, the bottle lady doesn't get up much, and the two children come out to pick up things. This morning I heard the two children crying, and when I came to see them, they were already dying. I often run outside, know some new things outside, I have long heard about the little four, I can't afford to raise two children, it's good to take care of myself, I went to the scrap station owner to inquire about your village and how to get there, I rode all the way to inquire, and took them to send you over, I didn't want to see people, so I sent them to the village and left by themselves. ”
A few of us listened, and we didn't have the heart to eat.
Grandpa said: "The police said, where did these scavengers come from, and there is no way to check their identities, let me take the child back first, and the child's mother will deal with it, I am afraid that someone will find it in the future, and the police will also help handle the formalities, and notify us if there is news." ”
The arrival of bottles and cans has given the children new partners.
Grandma said Bottles and Cans: "The name of Bottles and Bottles is quite good, but the name of Bottles and Cans is not good, is it okay for Grandma to change it?" Peace and peace and auspiciousness. ”
Bottles and cans nodded and said yes when they heard it. An An loves to say that she can also say, but when she first called her An An, she always couldn't react, and it took a long time to recognize her new name.
Grandma asked grandpa why he didn't call that grandpa Wang and the mute two together, and pick up the rags all day long.
Grandpa said: "As far as you think, I can't think of it? When the police were there, I said that they should all come, first of all, the old man Wang was unwilling, he said that he had lived for many years, he would not go anywhere, he did not want to see a place with many people, the dumb man could understand, and when he heard this, he waved his hand vigorously, and the meaning was obviously not willing to come, I couldn't snatch them over, alas, life, why would it be such a life?"
Grandma was speechless after hearing this, but she sat stunned for a while.
Bottles and cans do not have the kind of inferiority complex and unsociability of scavengers, come to a few days and everyone in the family is familiar, I can't tell at first, after all, I came back less, and then I can judge from speaking, my sister talks less, and answering questions can be simple and simple, but love to worry, others have opened the button, she will definitely tie it for you when she sees it.
My sister talks a lot, and she loves to sing, so when she hears a song on TV or a big music radio, she goes over to listen to it and learns from it.
The twin sisters have one thing in common: they can't see empty wine bottles, cans and cardboard boxes, and when they do, they will put them away and put them neatly in the place designated by the two of them.
Since the two sisters came to my house, my house is no longer like before, where the children litter things and put things in order whenever they see them. In the end, all the children were affected, and no one was messing around anymore, except for Kangkang, who loved to draw.
Kang Kang often loses everything, the paintbrush is still in his hand just now, and after playing with it for a while, the paintbrush is gone, so he shouts everywhere to find it, and the two sisters will definitely give it to him again from somewhere.
Kang Kang's painting of the two sisters is also the most interesting: the two outer heads are against the head, the pigtails are upturned on the head, smiling, each of them has a hand pointing at his face with his index finger, which is very cute.
