313 Aggrieved
The sun is very good, shining on the tower of forgetfulness, standing far away, the tower flashes with a pale white light, Qian'er came out of the house, looked at the tower a few times, and saw a figure under the shadow of the tower squatting there, is bowing his head on the ground and slowly drawing something.
That's the little grandma.
Qian'er couldn't help but swallow a sigh into her stomach. Walked over slowly, but didn't dare to get too close, stood three or four steps away, silently watching the man who was squatting on the ground and distracted.
Her little grandmother repeatedly drew three words on the ground, she knew the word Wang, and the other two characters had too many strokes that she didn't recognize.
But Qian'er was sure that those were the three words that appeared on the wall of the latrine.
It's been a long time, why is the little grandmother still pondering those three words? Is there any value worth studying there?
She didn't dare to ask, the little grandmother was unhappy, she didn't dare to touch this nail rashly.
Qian'er found that since she found the three words on the wall, the little grandmother's whole person has obviously changed, she has become less talkative, she always sits in a daze when she has nothing to do, her eyes look at the tower outside the window, and she is stupidly distracted. It was as if something on the top of the tower had snatched her soul away. In the past, she went to Miss Zhang's house several times a day to inquire about the situation and sit and chat with Miss Zhang. I don't go now, as if she is suddenly tired and lazy, and she doesn't even want to move more.
Qian'er was not sure, and when she went to the toilet, she secretly checked and found that the three words on the wall were missing, and the loess wall had traces of being scraped by tree branches.
She erased the words.
What does that mean?
Could it be that the little grandmother has any secrets?
The little grandmother has a lot of secrets, after she became her maid, she felt that the little grandmother had a lot of secrets, but she was used to those secrets for a long time, and she never dared to ask, besides, people live, who can not have a few little secrets.
However, the little grandmother has added a new secret here, which is a big thing, and this secret has changed the little grandmother, and she has become preoccupied, and when it gets dark, she is either in a daze at the tower, or she squats on the ground and slowly writes with her fingernails, writing one, erasing one, writing another, and erasing it again.
If you have written it, why should you erase it? It is better not to write it! Just like a woman embroidering flowers, is it possible to embroider one piece and then tear down another one? What is the purpose of staying up all night embroidering in front of the lamp? Is it just to boil lamp oil and torture her own eyes? Alas, who knows what the little grandmother thinks in her heart!
The dumb aunt wrote there repeatedly, at first the nails were not suitable for such a trial, the nails hurt in the seams, and there was faint blood, but then it stopped hurting, numb, and felt that the fingers were no different from a wooden stick.
She repeatedly wrote a Wang character, a sub-character repeatedly, and a Nan character repeatedly.
Write it out, look at it for a while, somewhere in my heart is hurting, the pain is so weak that the whole body is weak, I am paralyzed, and the whole nerve is becoming numb little by little.
It hurts so much - such a high roof, just pushed down like that, it doesn't hurt is fake.
The middle finger of his right hand had long been worn out, and a layer of blood came out, drenching the handwriting. She didn't care, she kept writing, destroying one blood word, and writing another blood word. One by one, they are all grievances dug out of their hearts.
Qian'er finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she went back to the house, ran out again, and stretched out her hand in front of the dumb aunt, "Give!"
The dumb aunt glanced at it and saw that it was a glove, which the little girl sewed out overnight last night, and it was sewn very strongly. It's Qian'er who specially wears it for her little grandmother to write, and there is no reason to waste her fingers so much, the owner of the finger is not distressed, and she is still distressed by the people who are watching on the side.
"No, I don't. The dumb aunt said.
Qian'er knew that this would be the result, this stubborn woman, the thing she decided was that if you set eight horses to pull, she might not look back.
"You have to use it. Asa shouted. Excited, nervous, angry, distressed, her voice trembled.
However, instead of backing down, she took a step forward. Since it's the beginning, let's just pour out all the words in my heart.
"Yesterday's blood scab was not healed, but here it is today, what are you going to do? Do you abuse yourself so badly? Even if you say anything uncomfortable in your heart, why do you torture yourself like this? This is not your character, not your style, you have always been a person who loves and hates and cries when you want to cry and laugh, when did you become a different person?"
"Am I a different person?" the dumb aunt suddenly raised her head, her eyes were cold, and she was glaring at Qian'er.
Qian'er let it go, couldn't be afraid, gritted her teeth, and said, "You are a different person! The little grandmother I just met is not what you are." Although she has a low status, she is just a small child daughter-in-law, living in the most remote courtyard, even Miss Liu Ying can grab her hair and hit her head on the rockery, but you did not flinch, nor did you tolerate it, and you did not put all the bullying in your heart, you took us to do so many things, you delivered the baby to Aunt Jiu, treated the eldest wife, and exchanged conditions with the eldest lady, saved Qiao's mother and son, and let Sister Orchid marry Zhang Hanlin instead of the girl of the Liu family, and took the fourth aunt and the fourth girl out of the compound, Ke shopkeeper is so arrogant and obediently cooperates with you to open Wanji Health Center, the most comfortable thing is to sell Hu Ma Zhang's three long-tongued women who play right and wrong all day long!
Think about it, little grandma, what an admirable person you are!
You are very kind, very brave, and very smart, you are constantly inventing new hairstyles, as well as new styles of clothes, the pills you make, and your ability to deliver babies, in the eyes of slaves and maids, you are really a person without a little shortcoming, I and Shen'er, and Chang'an, we are all secretly learning from you, learning the way you walk, learning the way you think about problems, learning from your fast words and not hiding things in your heart, always bringing happiness to everyone!
But why are you unhappy? You are like this these days, do you know how uncomfortable we feel in our hearts? You don't eat well, you don't sleep well, and you don't tell us what's going on, Shen'er and I, Chang'an, and we can't eat and sleep steadily, haven't you noticed, even Brother Wan is unhappy, you must not have noticed that he has eaten less in the past two days. It's not good for him to go on like thisβ"
Qian'er said a lot in one breath, and after speaking, she touched her heart and gasped.
Her heart was beating, beating hard, but she endured it, she couldn't hold it back for a few days, and if she endured it like this, the little grandmother's own fingers would definitely be crippled, and the people who were watching them would also be sick in their hearts. It's better to say it than to endure it like this. Say it in one breath, no matter how the little grandmother punishes, then call her to punish, she admits it anyway.
The dumb aunt stood up, was she going to slap me?
Shallow children do not hide, do not retreat. Stand and wait for the slap to come to your face. I haven't seen my little grandmother beat someone, she just patted Liu Wan on the face at most, and everyone could see that she was playing, so she was reluctant to bully Brother Wan ruthlessly.
The dumb aunt's hand fell on Qian'er's face, but it didn't hurt, gently, her hand touched this little face with obvious baby fat, she suddenly pinched her face, and laughed: "You-Xiao Nizi has grown up, I didn't see it, it turned out to be a big ghost, and this little heart actually has such a heart for all of us." You thought of something that I didn't even expect. β
Qian'er's face felt the friction of this little hand, she knew that she would not be scolded or beaten, and the little grandmother did not blame herself. My own words made my grandmother listen.
Sure enough, the dumb aunt stepped on the ground with her feet, wiped off all the handwriting she had written, and took Qian'er's hand, "You're right." The woman's little husband, we have something to say, we can't be so angry with ourselves, and we can't bring everyone to be wronged. β
Qian'er looked at the little grandmother's face, this handsome little face really showed a long-lost smile, this smile is still so real, so bright, the hurdle in the little grandmother's heart should have passed!
Qian'er happily exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath that had been held for so many days.
