47 The backbone of the poor
"The meal is ready!" the girl cried out crisply. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing his sister's shouts, the boy ran out. The three children who were on the kang just now came out of the house. When they saw the living, they sat quietly at the table.
The girl brought a pot of nests. She took two more plates of pickles from the dining cabinet. One plate is pickled beans, and the other is cabbage radish.
Yuelou took out a card in his handbag and said, "If you go to withdraw money, you will take 300,000." ”
The boy and his sister froze. After a while, the girl whispered, "We can't afford that much money." ”
Yuelou held the youngest girl in her arms and said, "The money is for your mother's treatment and for you to study." Your life is not easy. ”
The girl pulled the boy to his knees and said, "We really don't know how to thank you." ”
Yuelou hurriedly walked over and helped the girl and boy up and said, "People should help each other in the first place." ”
A woman's hoarse voice came from the back room: "Is there a guest coming?"
The girl ran in and said excitedly, "My brother has brought back two great benevolent people! They want to give us 300,000 yuan!"
"300,000 yuan!" The woman was so shocked that she spilled all the medicine on the kang.
Yuelou walked in slowly and sat next to the woman.
The woman kept looking at Yuelou with grateful eyes. She burst into tears and said, "You guys are really good people!"
"Actually, there is nothing". Yuelou said modestly: "Help others, others are happy, and you are comfortable." ”
"You also know that a family like ours can't earn 300,000 yuan in a lifetime. We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives. ”
Yuelou put her hand on the back of the woman's hand and said softly, "What disease are you suffering from?"
"Lang Zhong in the village said I had a heart attack. ”
"Then why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up?" Yuelou blurted out.
The woman smiled bitterly: "How can a family like ours have the money to go to the hospital for an examination? The hospital alone costs several hundred yuan, and we can't afford it." ”
Only then did Yuelou realize how stupid his question was. She simply couldn't understand the lives of these people.
She said embarrassedly: "With this money, you can go to the hospital to see a doctor." ”
The woman looked at Yuelou like a god and a Buddha: "I can take care of my illness so that I can pull these children up!"
"What about your husband?" Yuelou wondered.
"A few soldiers came back from our village. They were fine when they left, but when they came back, they had mental problems. My husband's former friend killed him." The woman sighed.
Yuelou lowered her head, not knowing what to say. After a long time, she raised her head and said, "Why did you have so many children?"
"Raising children to prevent old age". The woman said: "When you have more children, you can always live better when you get old." ”
"Only by having one child can you have the money to give him a better education!"
The woman laughed, "They are all stupid, not as smart as city kids." No matter how good the school you send them to, they won't be able to make it. ”
Yuelou didn't know what to say again. She forced out a smile and said, "I'm going out to eat, you can eat too." ”
"How can you get used to our food?" the woman said, frowning.
"Is coarse tea and light rice healthier?" Yuelou said with a smile.
The head of the nest is very hard, and when you break it, you can smell the smell of corn. Yuelou thought it must be delicious. She took a bite and realized that it was so rough that it literally cut her throat. She wanted to put the nest head down, but seeing that these children were eating with relish, she had to endure and finish the nest. She only ate one bite of the pickles. She felt that the pickles only had a sour taste, and there was no other taste, not even cabbage and carrots.
When Congshan returned, there was still a small piece left in the nest of the moon tower. She saw the savior stuffing the nest head into Congshan's mouth, and whispered, "This is too unpalatable." ”
Satoyama smiled: "It's not easy for you to eat one. ”
"Let's hurry up and give her the money. I really don't want to be here anymore." Yuelou shook his head.
"Okay. I know you're not used to being in a place like this. ”
The boy and the girl saw a big bag of money, and their eyes straightened. After Yuelou Congshan entered, they also followed.
When Congshan opened the money bag, the jaws of the family of three almost dropped. He said: "This is 300,000, you should be enough to treat the disease." ”
The woman didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, she suddenly pushed away the money and said, "You shouldn't have stolen all this money, right?"
Yuelou smiled: "How can the stolen money be given to you? We must have already flown away." ”
The woman thought for a long time before she said slowly: "I only need a hundred, and you can take the rest of the money!"
The boy pounced and said, "Lang Zhong said that you need at least 100,000 yuan to treat your illness!"
"Get out of the way!" the woman snapped, "Can we ask for this money?"
The girl scolded with tears in her eyes: "That's it, why do you love money so much!"
The boy hung his head, tears pouring down like a torrent.
Yuelou was also sad when she saw this family. She wept and said, "If you don't want this money, I'll burn it all right now." We're not short of this money anyway. ”
The woman thought about it for a long time, and finally accepted the money. She struggled to get down on her knees and say thanks. Yuelou hurriedly stopped her and said, "You don't need to be too polite. That's a small amount of money to us. ”
"No matter what you say, I must also kneel down and kowtow to you". The woman's eyes were unusually resolute.
Yuelou wanted to stop it, but Congshan pulled her over and said softly, "You just let her knock." If she doesn't kowtow, I'm afraid she won't be stable for the rest of her life. ”
Hearing Congshan's words, Yuelou suddenly realized. These people are poor, but they have a lot of backbone. They will accept handouts from others, but they will always want to reciprocate.
The woman trembled to her knees. Looking at the sickly blush on her face and the white hair that kept trembling, Yuelou's tears had fallen again.
It was supposed to be a full moon, but there was only a faint starlight in the sky. The wind after the rain blew on Yuelou's body, and she suddenly felt cold.
She looked up at the stars and said, "You say, why are so many people suffering in the world?" ”
"Life is hard to come by. Neither human beings nor other living beings can live happily ever after. Everyone has their own sorrows, and every living thing has its own misfortunes". There was an indescribable loneliness in Satoyama's voice.
"In the three years I've been with you, I've learned a lot. I used to think that I could see through sadness, but now I know that I am in the world like you, and I will be lonely and sad." Moon Corridor Road.
"You wouldn't have been sad if you hadn't met me". Congshan looked at Yuelou's eyes and said.
Yuelou said infatuatedly: "Love is the whole of a woman, and you have given me a deep affection." I will never regret meeting you. ”
