The person in front of him immediately said gently: "It's okay, you just wait here for your friend to come over."

Mother-in-law is only alone anyway, and I wish I had someone as a companion. ”

The sadness on Yan Mu's face did not go, so he dispersed a little and sat back down.

I was very dizzy, but I didn't want to sleep here, so I forced my spirit and asked casually: "What about your child?

There was a little loneliness on the old man's face: "It used to be opened by my son and daughter-in-law, and last year my little granddaughter went to college, and the two of them went there to do business."

This store is left for me and my wife to take care of. A few days ago, my wife passed away, and I watched it as an old woman. ”

At the end of her words, she dragged on a little, as if she was pretending to be relaxed, with a bit of loss that she couldn't hide.

Yan Mu felt guilty for a while: "I'm sorry, I talked about your sadness." ”

The person in front of him laughed out loud: "It's okay, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." These two are old, and one of them has to go first.

It's better to leave me, that old man didn't even know how to do laundry and cook when he was alive, so if I really want to go ahead, how can he live this day. ”

Someone had to go first, and Yan Mu was a little distracted for a while.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, these things seem to be far away for her, and she will face them one day.

When she is dying, who can be the person who accompanies her?

After all, it won't be him, then whoever it is, it's the same.

The dull pain in my heart deepened a little.

The old man seemed to be emotional, his slightly cloudy eyes flickered, and he reached out and patted the back of Yan Mu's hand.

The voice was low, like a cup of tea on a snowy night.

"Girl, a lifetime is so long, and there is not a handful of loess left when you arrive, this life is in the world, and what should be cherished must be cherished in time. ”

For no reason, she thought she was controlling her emotions well, but suddenly because of this sentence, her eyes were damp.

As if she had been sent to a god, she really suddenly let down her guard and asked the sentence that she had never dared to mention to anyone.

Xu knew that he was just a stranger in front of him, and if he said goodbye tonight, he would never see each other again.

She raised her eyes, and there was bitterness in her voice: "Mother-in-law, if you choose between relatives and lovers, what do you say?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, but what she said surprised her.

Presumably, this is also the reason why the little girl in front of me appeared here alone late at night.

The old man spoke, in fact, she couldn't give this answer. "It stands to reason that relatives are more important.

But in fact, this choice is wrong, and the best way is to untie the knot and not make this choice. ”

"What if you can't solve it?" she asked, unprovoked.

knew that even if the person in front of her could really give an answer, it would not be meaningful to her.

The old man's face sank a little, and he sighed lightly: "No matter how you choose, it's all wrong." ”

The corners of her lips raised, the bitterness deepened instantly, and she repeated the sentence softly in a trance: "Yes, no matter how you choose, it's wrong." ”

The tea was a little cold, and the old man got up and changed a hot cup for her and pushed it in front of her. "Drink more water, you're so pale.

When you go back, remember to take medicine, and think slowly about the difficult things, your body is the most important. ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law. She picked up the teacup and held it in the palm of her hand.

The voice of the old man in front of him carried a hint of pity: "Don't be so polite, you can lie down for a while if you are really sleepy, rest assured, it is safe here, and I will call you when your friend comes." ”

"Good. Yan Mu took a sip of tea, the feeling of drowsiness was too strong, and he finally fell on the table again.

After talking about those words, this time, it seems that I slept more peacefully, and it felt like a long time had passed.

The old man in front of her seemed to be muttering something in a very soft voice, and her consciousness was only confused.

After a long time, there was the sound of the door being pushed open, followed by two powerful footsteps from far and near.

She woke up almost instantly, her hands on the table and her head raised, and an even greater dizziness hit her in her head, and her vision was blurry.

The familiar figure enlarged little by little in front of her eyes, and she was still unconscious, and then the man leaned over and hugged her.

The familiar and reassuring light smell instantly surrounded her.

I still have my senses and want to push him away, but I can't use my strength in the end.

Fu Chen thanked him in a deep voice, signaled Uncle Zhou with his eyes, and strode out of the door.

The old man was stunned for a moment, the two men were dressed imposingly, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

Uncle Zhou took out a few banknotes and handed them over, and said politely: "Old lady, it's hard work, you take this." ”

The old man came back to his senses at this time, and quickly wanted to return the money, but even his voice was a little excited: "No, this can't be helped, that girl has already given the money." ”

Uncle Zhou put the money on the table directly, and walked out as he spoke: "It's okay, you take it, thank you for taking care of you, I disturbed you." ”

The young master meant to give money, and this money had to be given, and he was still in a hurry to drive, so he couldn't spend more here.

The old man chased out with the money in an instant, and raised his voice with great difficulty: "Sir, please wait a minute." ”

Uncle Zhou hid his impatience, stopped and turned around, and said again in a good voice: "You take it, don't worry, just to say thank you." ”

"There are a few words that I think I should tell you. The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally opened his mouth.

She thought that the lover in the girl's mouth should be the one who had just taken her away.

Uncle Zhou waited waitingly for the next step of the person in front of him.

The old man spoke up, not quite sure if it was a good thing to say this, but he only felt that he should say it.

"The girl just asked me how to choose between relatives and lovers, and I think she has encountered a difficult choice and wants to ask for help. ”

Uncle Zhou's eyes sank instantly, but he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

Directly took out his wallet, pulled out all the stacks of banknotes inside, approached the old man in three or two steps, and stuffed them all.

"You take these, I thank you for my husband, you have helped a lot. ”

Before the old man could react, he had already turned around and left very quickly.

The old man was frightened, looked at the thick stack of money in his arms, the whole person was shocked, and hurriedly chased after him, raising his voice: "I can't ask for this." ”

The man had disappeared into the snow, and on the cold, empty street, only a black sedan was seen driving away.

The old man froze in place, and only looked up at the money in his arms for a long time, but he felt unreal, and even his hands trembled.

There were too many of these, and she just said it truthfully.

I only wish I had helped the girl, not harmed her.
