"How can you do that? Mrs. Meng also raised her voice.

Anyway, it's not the person I'm looking for, so I can't do it. So Ding Chi stopped Mrs. Meng: "Grandma Meng, don't worry, don't hurt me because of me." ”

"No, don't go, I don't believe it yet. Mrs. Meng was still very stubborn, so she blocked Ding Chi's arm and continued to walk, "Long Damn , I have lived in a village for so many years, as for this, I don't care about others, anyway, my old Mrs. Meng didn't take a look at you two and didn't give you a foreign country popularity." ”

No one answered in the courtyard, but the footsteps stopped, apparently listening.

Mrs. Meng continued: "When Qiao Laosan died, so many people didn't accept you two mothers, it was me who interceded with my old Qiao, and he made the decision to leave you two behind. ”

"Mrs. Meng, thank you, I remember everything. It's just that I don't sell this insoles, so it has nothing to do with others. "The sound wafting from the courtyard is neither hard nor soft.

Listening to the conversation between the two old women, Ding Chi captured a few important words: foreigner, Qiao Laosan, and not accepting. While doubting, the flame of hope in his heart was extinguished.

Mrs. Meng went directly to the door, and said to the crack in the door: "It's not that I want to cut it short, who doesn't have a horse with a high pedal and a short one?" After all, you have lived with Qiao Laosan for more than 20 years, and you two can't let you two have no place to go, right? I usually know that your insoles are not for sale, but this matter is a bit special today, so I let this child come." ”

"One day after now, this child was shouting in the village to buy insoles and go back. At first, I didn't know, I thought he was a pure trader, but later I learned that he bought it specifically for his grandmother and was fulfilling his grandmother's wishes. is old and in poor health, maybe this is also the old man's ...... Alas......"

The courtyard door opened in due time, and the silver-haired Mrs. Shen appeared at the door: "Come in." ”

"Mother Long, I'll just say that you are a reasonable person!"

"Just the two of you. Mrs. Shen stood at the door, emphasizing.

"Who do you think is rare? "The old ladies who were treated slowly were chattering again.

Mrs. Shen smiled bitterly and took Ding Chi into the courtyard.

"Bang dang", "click la",

Closing the wooden door and plugging the door, Mrs. Shen took a few steps and let Shen and Ding into the house.

Ding Chi noticed that although the courtyard gate was not new and the house was very old, the house was clean inside and out.

Coming to sit down in the house, Mrs. Shen looked Ding Chi up and down for a while, and then asked, "What she said is true?"

"Yes, my grandmother ......" Ding Chi nodded, and repeated the previous nonsense. There is a bottom of the previous material, and this time it is more detailed and vivid.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen muttered in her mouth: "Alas, I also make insoles, and I have been doing it all my life." ”

"Yes, I have been making insoles all my life, and now I have such a wish. Even if the family is not rich, this wish must be fulfilled as much as possible, not only I came out, but my brother and brother-in-law also went to buy it elsewhere. Ding Chi paused for a moment and said, "I heard Grandma Meng say that the insoles you made are very good, so I took the liberty of ...... Since it's inconvenient for you, I can't ...... either"

Mrs. Shen answered: "It's not that I'm old-fashioned, it's mainly for Xiaolong to keep." I'm so old, and I'm not in good health, in case one day ...... He can also have insoles, and this kid only uses the insoles I made. ”

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Xiaolong is your son?" Ding Chi asked at the right time.

"One seedling, if you are young, you will have no father, so bitter ......" Mrs. Shen's voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and she slowed down for a while before she said again, "It's rare that you have this filial piety at a young age, you wait." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen went down from the kang to the ground, went out of the east house, and ran to the west house.

Connecting these fragments of information, the fire of hope in Ding Chi's heart flourished a lot, and his eyes swept in the room. In fact, since he entered the hospital, he has been searching, hoping to see something useful, but he has not found it.

"Young man, what are you looking for?" said Mrs. Meng suddenly.

Ding Chi was shocked, and immediately justified himself: "Grandma Shen's eyes are not very good, but it is not easy to clean up this house neatly and make insoles." ”

Mrs. Meng answered: "Yes, the whole village is counted, Mrs. Shen said second, no one dares to say first, since the day she remarried to the village, the family has not been buried." Although the old man Shen Pozi died early, Xiaolong, the child, is filial, and he is too busy to come back, and he still lets others ......"

"It's all here, you pick. Mrs. Shen came back in due time, carrying a bag full of hand-embroidered insoles.

Ding Chi hurriedly received it in his hand and couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful." ”

"If you think it's okay, choose a few more pairs for your grandmother. Mrs. Shen said as she took the insoles from the bag.

It's really beautiful, not only is the workmanship good, but the key is also a meaning, it seems that Mrs. Shen has read a lot of books. Ding Chi paid attention to each pair of insoles, and finally selected a pair: "Grandma Shen, just this one, how much is it?"

"I don't want money, I'll give it to you. Mrs. Shen said, and pointed again, "Choose a few more." Doesn't it match?"

Ding Chi hurriedly said: "No, no, the deputy and deputy are all high-quality products, and they all like it." But this is what you think of your son, I can't be too greedy. For the one I chose, my grandmother said I liked it. Your eyes are not very good, and it took a lot of hard work to designate it, so let's say a price. ”

"Filial piety is priceless, and it is given away in vain. Mrs. Shen replied very resolutely.

"You must take it. Ding Chi said, took out a hundred-yuan bill, and handed it over.

Looking at the banknotes, Mrs. Shen sneered: "One hundred yuan, it's really generous, don't pollute this filial piety." ”

Ding Chi was embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Grandma Shen, this is your hard work, I really can't bear to take it like this." ”

"If it weren't for your filial piety, you wouldn't have sold it for much money, this is Xiaolong...... Hey......" Halfway through the words, Mrs. Shen sighed and put the insoles on the kang into the bag.

At the moment when the other party picked up the bag, Ding Chi suddenly said: "Grandma Shen, can you find me someone to pack, I have collected dozens of pairs today, and I can't fit that bag." ”

Subconsciously glanced at the green satchel on the bicycle in the courtyard, Mrs. Shen went directly to the West House, and brought two bags after a while, one large and one small. Then he said, "Pack them separately." ”

"Mrs. Shen, you are not good at this, what's wrong with the insoles we made?"

Mrs. Shen answered: "It's okay to put hers together, and everything else is in a big bag." ”

In this way, after thanking and talking again, according to Mrs. Shen's suggestion, Ding Chi divided the insole into two bags, the large bag was tied to the bicycle rack alone, and the small bag was put into the shoulder bag and carried on his body.

With gratitude and anxiety, excitement and regret, Ding Chi left the village and got into the van that had been waiting for a long time.
