0154 Bitterness
It's like a lifetime, vivid.
Mother Wu stretched out her right hand, which was red and purple tormented by frostbite, and ran her thumb along the lower eyelid, wiping away a few tears.
Forgot that she was holding a napkin handed by Zhang Hao in her left hand.
I haven't shed tears for a long time, and in the past ten years since I returned to Pengjiang County, the two have lived a very satisfying life, and it is enough to spend their old age in peace.
Wu's mother said that they returned to Pengjiang County ten years ago, with no children and no daughters, and they only saw each other in each other's eyes.
She doesn't know why in the face of Zhang Hao's raw face, she will unreservedly tell her twenty years of feelings.
She had a thought that often reminisced about those innocent years.
I'm afraid that with the passage of time, a little bit will be missed.
Wu's mother's eyes were rosy, but she finished telling the story with a smile.
After Zhang Hao heard this, it was sweet in his heart and sour in his eyes.
"Mother Wu, can I go to your house and sit?" Zhang Hao said.
Mother Wu got up and said with a smile: "As long as you don't dislike it, of course you can." ”
Zhang Hao hugged Wu's mother, an amazing middle-aged woman.
"There's a guest coming, I'm going to get busy first!" Wu's mother packed up her emotions, entered the work state, and waved away.
From her words, it is the same as the rumored time for Master Jin to go to the sea to do business.
Wu's mother is an old employee in the store, and the people around her should know about her wife.
I briefly asked the two waiters in the store.
I learned that Wu's mother's wife worked as a sanitation worker in the county, to put it bluntly, sweeping garbage and being in charge of Heba Street.
Following this message, Zhang Hao went to Heba Street.
The street is not well designed, it is a few hundred meters long uphill.
The slope is steep and built according to the terrain.
The terrain of Pengjiang County is rugged, with many hillsides, and the streets naturally follow the terrain.
There are quite a few people up and down, and various shops line the streets.
"Clearance sale, come and see, come and choose, the last ten days, the last ten days. ”
The horn was noisy.
Zhang Hao remembers the first time he came to Pengjiang County and heard about the promotion of that store.
If you count the time, it should have been three months ago.
Zhang Hao walked up the sidewalk next to the street, and the women standing in front of the shop politely invited him.
"Handsome guy, come in and have a look. ”
Zhang Hao didn't respond to them, and didn't even turn his head to look at them.
It's not that he's rude, it's that the current waitress is too enthusiastic, and you give her a little look.
A long list of words would come out of her mouth, some shouting affectionately, some rhyming neatly.
Zhang Hao is not here to shop today, since he doesn't need it, there is no need to provoke.
Convenient for you, me and him.
After walking two or three hundred meters, I was a little panting, and the higher I went, the steeper the slope became.
Finally, within his field of vision, in the crowd of people, in the gap between the cars going back and forth, he saw the back.
The man's back was not athletic enough, and he pushed a tin cart that swept garbage upwards.
At the top of the street there is a large garbage bin.
His daily job is simple: sweep the garbage from the street into his cart and dump it into a large bin.
But judging by his pace, things don't seem to be going well.
Because he had to take care of his left leg, which was immobile, he walked uphill, which can only be described as moving.
Behind him, there was a constant honking of horns urging him to hurry up.
The driver is in a hurry, anxious to be reincarnated.
The man turned his head, smiled politely, and bent down slightly and nodded.
Sorry, sorry, I'll leave right away.
Zhang Hao saw it in his eyes, and the birthmark on his right eye was also in his eyes.
is consistent with Uncle Wang's description, his appearance is really not good-looking.
Zhang Hao walked forward quickly, "Uncle, I'll help you!"
He was a little caught off guard by the enthusiasm of strangers, because he had never felt such enthusiasm.
"Thank you!" He said simply.
Zhang Hao took a broom and shovel to quickly clean up the garbage on the street.
Towing the cart aside, the sedan that followed behind swooped out.
Zhang Hao wanted to scold him, but he couldn't help it, because the man in front of him was smiling at him.
Smile good-naturedly.
This smile was cleaner than the clothes he was wearing, warmer than the black cotton shoes on his feet.
He asked, "Young man, are you a student?"
Zhang Hao replied smoothly: "Yes, uncle, I am still in college." ”
The man gave a thumbs up and praised: "The current college students are very qualified. ”
Zhang Hao smiled, it can be regarded as earning all for young people.
The uncle reached for the cart.
"I'll help you!" Zhang Hao said holding on to the handlebars.
"Here's for you, don't get your hands dirty. The man took out a pair of gloves from his chest and handed them to Zhang Hao.
The gloves are issued to the cleaners by the Municipal Garden Bureau.
He didn't want to bring it, to be precise, he didn't think it was necessary.
On the rough hands, the lines have been filled with black dirt.
It has not been more than ten years, and this effect cannot be achieved.
The nail caps were black and filled with silt.
He felt that his hands were dirtier than the handlebars of the cart, so he didn't have to waste gloves.
Looking at Zhang Hao's hands with fine skin and tender flesh, he couldn't bear to look at being dirty.
So he gave all the gloves to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao guessed most of the man's mental activities and was very moved.
"Uncle, it's okay, I'll go to the toilet to wash it later, and you can keep the gloves and bring them yourself. Zhang Hao returned the gloves to the man.
The two of them pushed the car up the street with a handle.
The big bin is full of rubbish and the bin is very empty.
The uncle took off the shovel tied to the cart and stepped forward to work.
Before throwing the garbage into the bin, he will untie the garbage bag and reach in and grab it.
Mineral water bottles, waste paper, and everything that can be sold for money will be put aside.
Bag by bag unraveled, bag by bag rummaged.
He also took into account Zhang Hao's feelings when he stood aside, and raised his head from time to time to smile at Zhang Hao.
The smell next to the garbage bin was very strong, Zhang Haoqiang endured it and did not leave, waiting for him to finish looking for the mineral water bottle, and then shovel the garbage into the garbage bin.
The people who came to throw away the garbage threw it from a long distance and piled it up again.
When Zhang Hao saw this social phenomenon, his indignant thoughts were stimulated again, and he wanted to go up and reason with the people who threw away the garbage.
Seeing that Zhang Hao's face was not good-looking, the man immediately comforted: "It's okay, I'm still convenient to pick up the bottle if I throw it outside, young man, thank you, if you feel uncomfortable, go back." ”
The language is very simple and the tone is soft.
Zhang Hao was powerless to defend himself, so he had to retract his cynical impulse and help him shovel garbage.
It took nearly three hours to clean it up.
The man ran over and bought a bottle of pulsation and handed it to Zhang Hao.
Only bought one bottle.
"Thank you. Zhang Hao took it and asked, "Uncle, don't you drink?"
The uncle pointed to the electric tricycle not far away and said, "I brought water." ”
When I walked to the car money, I took out an old thermos cup, and there were many concave places on the thermos cup, which must have been bumped and bumped a lot.
The uncle opened the lid and poured a little into the lid, the lid was steaming, he took a sip, his body felt very warm, and said with a smile: "Young man, do you live in the city? I'll send you back." ”
