I stood at the door, watching the rain, stretching out my ears to listen to them, I didn't understand the content of their chat, who was the family and who had something wrong, I didn't know any of them, but the arrival of the uncle made me see more swear words that I had never heard before, three sentences are inseparable from one sentence, listening to him feel very powerful and refreshing, but I still stood far away, I hope Xia also stood far away, afraid that she would learn badly, but she has learned.
The rain stopped, Xia sat alone at the door, looking out of the door, I sat at the counter, thinking about today's bill, when I bent down to pick up the pen, I saw the bottom row of cabinets, lined with bottles of water, I looked familiar, all opened, some didn't even have a lid, but they didn't move, this is the water I opened for Xia a few days, when I drink water, I will always unscrew a bottle and hand it to Xia, but I never noticed, she didn't drink a sip of the water I gave her.
I don't know why, I'm a little annoyed, but I still feel forgivable when I think of the incident that almost happened in the store a few days ago, so I picked up two of the bottles of water that had been opened, walked over to Natsu, took a sip in front of her, and handed her another bottle.
"Thank you, brother. Xia said and took the water, then held it in his hand, and then, I sat in the back and watched her, never touching it, and finally screwed the bottle cap and put it back on the bottom layer of the counter.
It's always good to be more vigilant.
After the rain, the weather was exceptionally cool, and there were a lot of people in the store, Xia and I have been busy, and the old man in the afternoon dragged his legs and walked in slowly, Xia greeted happily, "Seventh grandfather, are you here to drink?"
"I can't afford to drink, so I'll get you something to eat. Saying that, the seventh grandfather moved a few steps forward, opened the layers of plastic bags, the plastic bags looked oily, like secondary use, the seventh grandfather opened layer by layer, it was persimmon cake, and the bottom was dried hawthorn, Xia looked at it happily and asked, "Did you take it from your hometown?"
"I'll give you some to try. Seventh Grandpa handed it to Xia.
"Seventh Grandpa, if you go home, go home, what are you doing with me, it's a long way to go, it's so hard. Xia said, took one in his hand, and then pushed it into the hand of the seventh grandfather.
"Don't fake, whatever you fake with me, it's all for you, just eat. The seventh grandfather said and pushed the thing to Xia again, and then took out one, pulled the leaves on it, and said to eat one for me, when the seventh grandfather handed it over, I saw that the seventh grandfather's fingers were old and the same as the bark, and the long nails were not cut off, and they were full of black dirt, and the joint lines were also unwashed dust, I shook my head, waved my hand again and again, and said with a smile, "Thank you, grandpa, I have a toothache and can't eat." Xia glanced at me, took it in time, and ate it himself.
"Seventh Grandpa, how about this trip home?"
"Don't say it, my mother is sick again, and my sister is together, and she is thin and doesn't let anyone touch or call people, but she is really guilty of being a son. Seventh Grandpa looked at Xia with cloudy eyes and said helplessly.
"Hey," Xia also sighed, "Don't feel uncomfortable, grandma must have a long life." ”
"I don't know if I can survive this year," the seventh grandfather said, sighed again, was silent for a long time, and said to Xia, "Actually, I want to bring my mother, but the old man has bad legs and feet, and he can't take the train. ”
After listening to Seventh Grandpa's words, I was full of sympathy, I have always been very sensitive lately, and I can sense the pain of others, I interrupted Seventh Grandpa's painful self-description, "Seventh Grandpa, where is your hometown?"
"Shaanxi. ”
"Oh, it's a long way away, you can come by plane, I can buy you a special ticket from the Internet, and sometimes it's cheaper than taking the train." "I thought I had done a good deed, and Grandpa Seven would gratefully ask me where I bought my ticket.
But no, Grandpa Seven looked at Xia, slightly embarrassed, no one answered me, Xia's feet stretched out from under the counter and touched my feet. "No, my grandmother is too old to fly. Natsu said and stomped on my foot.
"Also, my mother is too old to sit. ”
"I just can't sit, what if something happens?" I'm already old, and after that, what if I don't adapt to the soil and water and my condition worsens?" Xia persuaded Grandpa Seven with a serious expression, saying that I couldn't take a plane, and I closed my mouth.
The seventh grandfather talked for a long time, and then dragged his legs out step by step, Xia immediately turned his head and glared at me, eager to eat me.
After a long time, I got it from Xia's mouth, the seventh grandfather's family has a seriously ill mother, but the seventh grandfather has no income, when he collected rags from here, he got married when he met a person with abnormal nerves, and as a result, he didn't eat well when he got pregnant, and gave birth to a child, and glaucoma, and he walked crookedly, and the family lived in the broken house at the back, how could he have any money to treat his mother, but the seventh grandfather felt that he couldn't get over it, and when he met someone, he said that his mother didn't want to come, and he liked his hometown," People say you just have to listen to it, and you have some bad ideas. Xia looked at me helplessly, and said as if he was saying, 'I'm thirty people, why don't I understand this bit of human sophistication.' ’
I feel guilty, but I want to know even more, is Xia really just echoing Grandpa Seven's words that day? Is there a trace of sympathy in her heart, feeling sad and sorry for Grandpa Seven.
I said the wrong thing, I sat alone, Xia sat on the side and read a book, there were few people in the store, a woman with smoky makeup, red lips, and a scent came in at the door, and after Xia saw it, he immediately said, "Sister, here." ”
"Well, take a few bottles of wine. ”
"Okay, the nails are so beautiful. When Xia handed over the wine, he grasped the details and praised it violently.
"Just done, how's that. ”
"It's good-looking, it's expensive. "This time, I can see that Xia is really agreeable, perfunctory to the point that she doesn't even have some acting skills, but the woman is immersed in envious eyes, and she shouldn't notice it.
"Sure, hundreds. The woman said, stretched her head over, and said with a smile on her face, "Brother Jia is back, and he has a lot of money on him." ”
"Brother Jia came out of it, didn't you say it's been a few years?"
"Good performance. ”
"Where did he get so much money to rob the bank. Xia Yan sneered, assuming in a disdainful tone.
"What to pretend, he didn't look for you the other day. ”
"Fart. Xia's face suddenly sank, the dirty water was splashed inexplicably, and Xia was enraged.
"Don't pretend, I saw that Brother Jia was rich, he couldn't get into college, and he started to hang high, I saw him come out of your room with a smile with my eyes that day. ”
"Which day?"
"Five or six days ago. ”
", I just finished the college entrance examination three or four days ago. Natsu knocked on the table and emphasized with the woman.
Suddenly, Xia raised his head, his brows furrowed and fell into deep thought, "Damn, the surname is Jia." Xia said, supporting himself and jumping out of the counter, I was frightened by Xia's sudden emotion, my body shook, and shouted to Xia "What are you going to do?"
Xia didn't speak, ran out of the bar, I wanted to jump out with Xia, but my arm strength didn't support me up, so I had to lift the board from the side and go out.
Xia ran back home quickly, and I followed behind, striding after him, "What are you doing, Xia." ”
Xia didn't speak, he forgot to run at home, his whole body was tense, after Xia arrived home, he struggled to move half of the burnt bookcase, the bookcase was very heavy, I hurriedly reached out to help, after moving away, Xia let go, his eyes were staring at the bricks behind the bookcase, and after pulling it out, he took the pencil case inside.
When Xia Yi let go of his hand violently, I felt that all the weight instantly overwhelmed my body, I didn't dare to let go, for fear of hitting Xia, but I couldn't support it, and I put it down little by little, and finally when I saw Xia take a few steps back, I suddenly put down the bookcase, and at that moment, I felt that the floor of the building was trembling.
"Son of a bitch. Xia opened the box, there was a mess of paper in the box, Xia didn't care, and poured it out, there was some toilet paper underneath, Xia turned over all the toilet paper, and didn't turn out anything.
Xia sat on the ground suddenly, looking at the empty pencil case in a daze, as if he had lost his soul all of a sudden, I poked Xia carefully, Xia looked up at me, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here, who is watching the store." ”
