On the fifth day of the seventh five-year month, Zhang Yunxiu retired from the house at Secretary Zhao, and took his daughter and two burdens on the train.

Just after the Chinese New Year, the train is not so crowded.

Zhang Yunxiu bought two train tickets for hard seats, and just took the little girl in human form and set off towards her husband's city together.

Of course, the little girl has not been able to maintain her human form for a long time, so she specially bought a few perfect change potions and brought them with her.

She didn't want to be a big change on the train.

"Milk, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"

Zhang Yunxiu took the child on the train early in the morning.

Sitting across from her was an old lady with a little boy of seven or eight years old.

The mother-in-law and grandson were dressed very shabby, and they didn't even have a decent padded jacket on such a cold day, they hugged each other together, and even spoke with a trill.

Zhuzhu had a toffee in her mouth, looked at the mother-in-law and grandson opposite curiously, blinked her eyes, and pulled Zhang Yunxiu's clothes.

Although the child didn't speak, Zhang Yunxiu was her own mother, so how could she not understand what she was thinking.

Looking at the old lady on the other side, she shivered from the cold, thought about it, took out a thermos pot from her own baggage, poured a cup of hot water and handed it over, "Auntie, drink some hot water." ”

The little girl did the same, took out a toffee from her pocket and handed it directly to the little boy.

Unexpectedly, the little boy just looked at their mother and son warily.

Despite the fact that his flickering black eyes betrayed the fact that his heart was desperate for this candy, he still did not snatch it directly like an ordinary child, but looked at his grandmother.

"Eat. ”

The old lady coughed a few times and said in a hoarse voice.

The little boy carefully took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and carefully put it in his mouth.

Then there was a little more smile on that pale little face, and the people who watched it were very sad.

Zhang Yunxiu is no exception.

This child inexplicably reminded her of the days when she had just come out to live independently with Zhuzhu in her previous life.

At that time, the two of them were almost penniless, and they were as depressed as the mother-in-law and grandson.

"Thank you, comrade. ”

The old lady's voice was hoarse and quite small.

Picking up the steaming water, she didn't directly use the cup given by Zhang Yunxiu, but took out a worn-out water cup from her small schoolbag and poured the water into it.

Then he exhaled and took a small sip.

In the noisy train carriage, if it weren't for Zhang Yunxiu, she wouldn't be an ordinary person now, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hear what she was talking about at all.

"There's nothing to thank you for, old lady, you're polite. Zhang Yunxiu took out two more shortbreads and handed them to them, which she had made at home and was ready to eat on the road.

"Alas......"

The old lady let out a long sigh and stared at the shortbread for a long time before taking it with trembling hands.

She looked sad with drops of water in her cloudy eyes.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Zhang Yunxiu can only give her temporary help.

Food is more expensive than gold in this age, and even if there is food in hand, who is willing to give it to others?

If it weren't for the fact that the conditions at home are much better now, Zhang Yunxiu would be just as stingy.

The train during the Chinese New Year is much quieter than usual.

Still, there were a lot of people in the carriage.

Zhang Yunxiu yawned and looked at the regressing scenery outside the window, while the mother-in-law and grandson opposite her shared a shortbread, and the other was carefully put away by the old lady.

Zhuzhu is a lively character, she can't sit still at all, and when she saw the little boy opposite eating most of the shortbread quietly, she leaned over and wanted to play with others.

"Brother, do you know how to play rope flipping?"

The little girl asked in a milky voice, took out a red rope from her pocket, and looked at him with blank eyes.

The little boy was stunned, then nodded.

The child looked very thin, but he was very delicate and beautiful.

The color of the hair is not pure black, it is chestnut, and it makes people feel the urge to masturbate.

"Yes. ”

After eating the shortbread, the little boy took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands slowly, and played with Zhuzhu.

The little girl was crazy with joy, and she was very energetic.

Zhang Yunxiu didn't stop her, the child was healthy when she was lively.

"Comrade, where are you going?"

The old lady finished her shortbread and wiped her hands clean with a handkerchief, as her grandson did.

Although the mother-in-law and grandson are dressed very downward, their temperament is not quite the same as ordinary people.

From their words and deeds, it can be seen that they were once well educated.

But in this era, people like this are the most vulnerable.

"Go find the child's father. ”

Zhang Yunxiu said with a light smile.

"Oh. The old lady nodded, "We also just came back from the capital." ”

Capital?

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Yunxiu's eyes.

Then I heard the old lady say, "Alas, this world is also pitiful." ”

Zhang Yunxiu nodded, "Yes." ”

After that, the old lady was silent, and it seemed that she was not a person who liked to chat.

Zhang Yunxiu also didn't know how to chat, so he had to say, "What about you? Are you going home now?"

"Yes. The old lady nodded again, and the next moment she covered her mouth and coughed violently.

She was holding a handkerchief with bloodstains on it.

The boy next to him, who was playing with Zhuzhu and turning the rope, saw this scene and suddenly changed his face, and he didn't care about playing with Zhuzhu, but hurriedly took out a small medicine bag from his pocket and hurriedly sent it to the old lady, "Milk, eat, take medicine." ”

The old lady coughed violently again, and the cough was heartbreaking.

A woman sitting on the other side frowned in disgust, covered her mouth and said, "Why do you cough so hard? ”

The faces of the few people sitting around them also changed suddenly, and they moved a little farther away from the old lady, as if they would not worry about being infected.

The old lady, however, ignored the fellows and opened the medicine bag with a trembling voice, which contained brown powder.

Just drank the cup of hot water that Zhang Yunxiu gave just now.

But the cough still doesn't seem to be getting better.

Still coughing fiercely.

The little boy looked at her worriedly, his eyes full of nervousness.

Zhang Yunxiu also frowned slightly, not disgusted.

"Old lady, stretch out your hand, and I'll take your pulse. ”

After hesitating, Zhang Yunxiu spoke.

Anyway, there are few people on this train who know her, the doctor is benevolent, if she doesn't see it, forget it, but the old lady coughs so pitifully, she really can't stand it.

"You, will you see a doctor?"

After the old lady finished coughing, she looked at her in surprise.

Zhang Yunxiu smiled, "Well, I'm not very proficient." ”

The old lady lowered her eyes, then stretched out her hand and sighed softly, "Look, look at how long I can live." ”
