(fifty-eight)
Qiu Ruihua remembered this, and then she walked all the way back with tears streaming down her face. When she returned, she told Widow Yang that she saw his son living in the abandoned and dilapidated house. They didn't even rent a house, and they must not be able to find a few dollars a day, so that's why they are like this. She saw his son living like that, and it was as uncomfortable as a knife cutting at her heart. But it was really difficult to recognize his son, and he couldn't think of any way to save him for a while.
Widow Yang persuaded her, things are only like this, think about it, just say that your son is in the countryside now, but the countryside is not necessarily good. At most, the nest in the countryside is better to sleep at night, but not the rest. For example, if you work, you are tired and tired all year round, and you have to invest some money in the ground. If it were a good day, you wouldn't be hungry. If you don't come out every year, not only will you not reap anything, but you will lose everything you put in, and you will go hungry.
Although he is very hard for a day now, he now has to find one, and they seem to be like a flower child, but in fact, their kind of freedom, sometimes those who are workers have to envy them. They don't rent a house to live in, and it's not necessarily that they can't come up with the money, that's why they are too economical. Because almost all of them still have families, they live in abandoned houses like they are now in order to get more money to go back.
Now it's better that you have to think about this aspect as well, you have to know that they have a group of people, and this is not just him, if it is really him, even I can't let go of it. I know that you are now a mother and son, just change your seat, if I were you, I would be the same worried and distressed, and I couldn't rest assured.
All you have to do now is that now that you know where they live, you can take care of them or not. You can put some food and clothes for him from time to time, you can do that. As for whether you recognize him or not, that's your own business, and you can do it at your own discretion.
Also, their place of residence, that must not be fixed. Because if they live there now, maybe one day they will be demolished and changed, and they will have to change their residence, so you have to pay special attention to this. But one thing is relatively stable, that is, they are used to looking for money in this area, and they are always not far from this range, and they finally settle in those abandoned places on this side of the head.
In the end, the weather-beaten Widow Yang's opinion is very good, and when she said this, Qiu Ruihua's heart became much more steady. She thought: That's all there is to it now, but fortunately my son is not far away now, and only I know him, he doesn't know me, so it's easy for me to see him. As long as I see him okay one day, I will be relieved. It's good if I don't recognize him now, if I do, I don't have face, and if he recognizes me, if he doesn't recognize me, but disturbs his heart and doesn't say, if I want to give him something, he will definitely not accept it, then it's better to forget it like now.
Since then, Qiu Ruihua has sent food and money to her son Han Han from time to time. At the beginning, she sent money, all of which were five yuan or ten yuan, and the food was eight steamed buns or eight steamed buns each time. Because she thought that there were four of them, and it would be very difficult for people to watch you eat alone, so she meant to eat two by yourself.
She also thought about it, if it was the first time her son felt strange, but it was impossible for him not to lose the money, so he went and donated. He said that he was afraid that someone would harm him, or that he was worried that it would be poisonous, but he had to try to taste it. As long as there is no problem with tasting it, it must be eaten. As long as this first time passes, the later ones will become less and less strange, and they will naturally get up. Moreover, every time I wrapped it in thick kraft paper and put it in nylon wire net, it was all clean.
Qiu Ruihua does this, once or twice a month, sometimes only three or four times in three months. She is not very worried that her son has no money or no food, her heart is mainly a constant mother-son relationship, a kind of concern, and even a kind of debt and compensation to her son.
She chose to see her sons mostly in the morning, and she observed that they did not come out very early in the morning, and they usually came out around half past eight in the morning. At that time, she was on the part of the road they had to pass, and she often pretended to be leisurely walking there. When they saw her, they saw her as if they were people they didn't know. She just wanted to stare at her son seriously, because they all thought it was a stranger, so no one would be suspicious. When they had passed, she watched his son go out of sight for a long time, and then she went back to the snack shop, and it became a habit to come after a long time.
Every time she came out to see her son in the morning, she had to greet Widow Yang, Widow Yang was very supportive and understanding of her, Widow Yang was good-hearted, so she was not stingy with those steamed buns or anything.
Occasionally, she put things on her son, that is, after they had walked for a while, so they never found her. It's just that every time they change their accommodation, sometimes it's really hard to find, but every time she finds him. Generally speaking, they will not be far away from the scope of this logistics distribution center, and their accommodation is also on these sides.
In this way, another few years passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of 87. At this time, Widow Yang is about to turn sixty years old, Qiu Ruihua is also forty-four years old, their snack shop has been open for almost 18 years from the first 69 years of Widow Yang, and Qiu Ruihua has been here for no less than 15 years.
At this time, Widow Yang discussed Qiu Ruihua. She said: "Ruihua, I am also 60 years old now, I have been doing this for so many years, I am also tired of doing it, and I don't want to do it." I'm suggesting now, if you're willing to keep doing it, I'll call you. You can ask someone to help you, and I'll quit, I really want to take a break. For example, in the case of this rent, it is just a formality, which means that the rent is calculated a little. Think about it for yourself. ”
Qiu Ruihua heard that Widow Yang didn't want to do it, so she didn't have confidence. Although over the years, from the quantitative sales at that time, to the non-quantitative sales later, the business here has always been ordinary. Although it is better than a part-time job, it is also a little annoying like Widow Yang after working for a long time, so she doesn't want to do it.
Over the years, Widow Yang has not treated her badly, most of the salary she gives her every month is still there, and she can also find something else to do when she withdraws.
Qiu Ruihua said: "Since you don't do it, don't do it, really, without you doing it together, I wouldn't have the heart to do this." It's okay for you to retire now, whatever, you are also at this age, and it is time to rest. You can rent out the storefront, and you can live upstairs by yourself. The façade is rented to someone else, and you can live on a year's rent, and you don't need to be so tired. ”
Widow Yang said, "Well, what should you do if you stop? ”
"Don't worry about me, I'm sure I'll find something to do. Eldest sister, even for so many years, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have dared to imagine what I would be like, your great kindness, I can't repay it in my life, I will never forget you. Speaking of this, Qiu Ruihua shed tears of gratitude.
Widow Yang said: "It's nothing, this person is all about fate." In this life, if you should encounter something, you can't hide it, and if you shouldn't encounter it, you have to file it in front of you. So you came to me so coincidentally, this is the fate of the two of us in this life, and this is also destined by God. So, we all have to cherish it, we will always be good sisters, you say yes. Widow Yang also shed tears.
In the end, the two widows said goodbye inseparably. In fact, the distance between them is only half a street, and they still meet from time to time after that, and they can often talk face to face when they have anything to say.
Less than a month after Widow Yang's snack shop closed, it was rented to another person, who was doing the same business as Widow Yang used to be. Since then, the sixty-year-old widow Yang has been leisurely all day long, walking here and playing there. Besides, her rent is enough for her to live for a year, and she has saved a certain amount of money in business for so many years, so this widow Yang, who is tired of the life of both sexes, still lives out her own style when she is old.
But the strangest thing is that for so many years, she has never seen her daughter and son-in-law come back, nor has she ever heard her talk about it, which is really a mystery. Even when Qiu Ruihua asked her what she was like, she was evasive and didn't talk about her.
When Qiu Ruihua was in the snack shop, she had always accompanied Widow Yang, even at night, she lived upstairs with Widow Yang. There was no business now, and of course she went back to live in the staff building of the grain station. When she got married, she didn't even enjoy the candle night in the cave room, and what she got was the current empty room.
It didn't take long for Qiu Ruihua to become a cleaner, and it happened that she was a cleaner, and she was arranged to be in the logistics yard outside the south end of the street, and she was cleaning the area around the simple house rented by Yin Hong's two brothers for a long time.
