Chapter 31: Looking Back at Dusk (3)
After eating the farmhouse noodles made by my aunt, Li Xin and I were already on our stomachs. My aunt brought out a wealth of mountain fruits for us to try.
At night, Li Xin lived outside, and my aunt and I lay on the wooden bed in the inner room.
She told me interesting stories about my mother when she was a child, and about the daily life in the mountain village. At this moment, my heart was at peace that I had never felt before.
Outside the window, the moon hung high and shone a clear glow. The distant mountains are like daisies, and the forests are like ink.
I fell asleep in the chirping of insects, running water, and my aunt's nicknames.
In the next few days, Li Xin and I worked like this for a few days, staying by my aunt's side, with three meals a day, calm and uneventful.
I forgot for a moment the confusion and hesitation in that place in my heart.
At the time of parting, my aunt stood at the entrance of the village and watched our car turn to the other end until she could no longer see.
Li Xin and I went to a car to stay in the town, found the only supermarket in the town, I want to discuss with the boss, let every once in a while to send daily necessities to my aunt, the boss is very polite, when he listened to the address I said, he turned back to the small house, took out a notebook, and showed it to me.
The familiar handwriting on the paper is strong and powerful. It was written "Ms. Bai Yuxia of Qianwan Village".
I was puzzled, he explained to me: "This is one afternoon seven years ago, a young man came to my store, left me an address, left a thousand yuan, asked me to send some daily necessities to this address every once in a while, at that time he also asked me for a bank card number, said that he would send money in every once in a while, at that time we were still very backward here, just because I opened a small grocery store at that time, opened an account in the cooperative, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, only sent some grain and oil to the old man every once in a while." After that, hundreds of dollars came in every few months. I've been doing this for so many years, and I've never stopped. ”
Li Xin and I shushed each other.
Then the boss said, "The young man is tall and handsome. There is just no expression. But looking at the clothes and talking is not an ordinary person. ”
"What about you...... Do you know the account information for each incoming payment?" I asked him.
"That's not true, our network is not very good, and I have never opened online banking. "I was disappointed.
"By the way," the boss said, "you can leave me your contact information, and I will go to the cooperative tomorrow to give you a detailed list and see if I can have the information you want." ”
I said yes again and again, left him a phone number, and told him to be sure to contact him.
The boss swore to me: "Don't worry, the people in our mountain village are the most simple, and they will do what they say." Over the years, I remember all the amounts and delivery items clearly in my notebook. ”
As he spoke, he showed me his handbook, which was really the date, the amount of receipts, the amount of items delivered, and the balance, everything was clear at a glance.
"I kept keeping my accounts, just thinking that one day I would see that young man again, so that I could give him an explanation. At that time, he also specially instructed no one to know, and said to the old man that it was a benefit given by the township, and over the years, I reached an agreement with the village and the town. He has always taken care of the loving acts of the lonely elderly. I was so impressed......"
Li Xin and I embarked on the journey home. Along the way, I wondered, who went to look for me, and who took care of my aunt all these years?
