Lotte was lying on the bed, reminiscing, thinking, I don't know how long it was, someone outside the house was talking, Lotte listened attentively, I don't know why, the conversation was very quiet, but Lotte could hear it clearly, and even the scene outside the courtyard could produce a sense of picture in his mind.

Nizi was drying the sheets, and some villagers came to help, listening to the footsteps and sounds to conclude that this woman was very fat, about 150 tall, and there were still people standing at the door who did not move, as if it was a man, he lit a dry tobacco and smoked it.

When the fat woman helped Nizi hang the sheets, she asked, "Nizi, is your dad awake?" ”

"Hmm."

"Your mother said that he was very rich, when she borrowed money from my family, she said that she would pay it back when she woke up, you ask your father, when will you pay it back?"

"But Dad doesn't remember anything."

"Why, I'll go to him."

"Hey, what are you doing, people just woke up." The man who was smoking at the door finally spoke.

"I want you to take care of it, shut up."

Then, Lotte heard the fat woman's footsteps getting closer and closer, and it didn't take long for him to enter the house.

She was indeed very fat, and the expression on her face was very strange, as if she was laughing, but when she smelled the stench of the house, she couldn't help frowning, and finally covered her nose and came over, and said:

"Big brother, you're awake."

"Eldest sister, is there something wrong?" Lotte looked straight at the fat woman.

"Yes, yes." She looked around and didn't see a place to sit in the room, but she still took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and said with a straight face: "When you were in a coma, the eldest sister borrowed 800 yuan from my family in order to treat you, and you see when you can pay back the money." ”

"800 yuan, it's not much, I'll pay you back when I have money."

"Hey, big brother, you're a cheerful person, I'll go first." She turned around and went out with a smile, and then Nizi came in with a twist, and Lotte smiled and beckoned, "Come here." ”

Niko may be used to the smell, but she doesn't have any disgusted expression from outsiders, and she runs over and sits next to Lotte.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

"Much better." Lotte looked at the destitute home and asked, "Have you and your mother been living so hard all the time?" ”

"You'll be fine before you come back." Nizi's eyes rolled slightly, as if she was recalling something, and said: "I used to have a TV and a refrigerator at home, and a washing machine, and then you came back, and my mother sold all the electrical appliances at home in order to treat you." ”

"That's right." Lotte sighed and lowered his head, as he struggled to remember why he was unconscious at sea.

"But the money is still not enough, you know, the cost of treating you in the county hospital is more than 1,000 yuan a day, and the operation fee is tens of thousands, and my mother has no choice but to sell your wedding rings."

Lotte stopped thinking, hugged Niko and asked, "Did your mother say, where am I?" ”

"No, no, my mother told the doctor at the hospital, saying that you are a doctor in a big hospital."

"What about the others?"

"There's no more, my mother gets up early and takes care of you at night, and then when I run out of money, my mother borrows it everywhere." Nizi fiddled with her fingers and muttered, "I borrowed a lot of money later." ”

Lotte sighed again, and these words almost brought Lotte to tears, but fortunately restrained himself, "Your mother, how did you die?" ”

"She borrowed money to buy medicine in the city, and then she was ...... by the car" Nizi's eyes were also red, this was the rhythm of crying, seeing that Nizi couldn't bear to cry, Lotte hugged her tightly and said sincerely:

"Thank you two."

Nizi's tears finally came out, and she said with relief: "It's okay Dad, Mom said that everything will be fine with you, she told me before leaving, let me take good care of you, I will definitely take good care of you." ”

From this moment, Lotte's heart finally melted, and at this moment, he finally felt this daughter, which may be a long-lost family affection, an emotion that seems to have been expected in his heart for a long time.

At ten o'clock in the evening, it is estimated that the fat woman went out to talk about it, and there were many visitors to the house, most of them were women from the village, and each of them took an IOU to ask for debts, although the words were polite, but Lotte could see a trace of charm in their expressions, as if each of them was very dissatisfied with their wives.

Lotte didn't understand how he saw it, but none of these people gave him a very kind feeling.

There is no way, no matter how bad these villagers are, they have also sent charcoal in the snow, and Lotte always replied to them: "When I am well, your money will be returned to you without a penny." ”

In this way, a few days passed peacefully, and on this day, the sound of firecrackers outside the village continued, and Lotte asked Nizi suspiciously, "Why are you setting off firecrackers?" ”

Nizi said, "Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"It's New Year?" Lotte was a little dazed, he had the impression that the weather for the New Year should be very cold, but this lay mud house did not burn the fire, and then looked out the window, at most it was an autumn temperature, how could it be the New Year.

Regardless of these first, I don't know where Nizi got two branches as crutches, Lotte set up for physical rehabilitation, and Nizi said to go out to get Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Lotte walked around the house a few times, and he was tired of it, pestle and cane, ready to go out to the village to have a look.

As soon as I went out, the air was exceptionally fresh, and I blamed myself for staying in the smelly house for too long.

The environment in the village is not bad, there are cement roads, and every family has red brick houses, but most of the yards are dried fish and kelp, the most unaccustomed thing is that the architectural pattern of this house is a flat-roofed house, in his impression, the rural houses are not like this, at least there should be a chimney, but I didn't see a chimney after walking around.

When I was strolling around, I passed by a house, where several old ladies and rural women were chatting, and they saw Lotte frowning and muttering quietly.

Lotte's ears are very good, and they muttered something to them.

"It's him, if I don't want her daughter-in-law."

"No, his daughter-in-law is a, and in order to borrow money, he talked to many old men in the village."

"Quietly, he's coming."

A few women shut up, and Lotte smiled as she walked by, but not far after that, she heard a few women start muttering again.

"Do you think they're divorced?"

"Definitely divorced, how can a man bring such a big green hat."

"I've also heard that he's a doctor in the city, and he's quite rich."

"I've heard about it too, who knows."

Lotte frowned and walked around the corner, the noise in his ears stopped, Lotte thought it was just a few women chewing their tongues, how do you know that when passing by a house, an old man outside the yard was smoking, and the fat woman in the house scolded sharply: "You are not urging, what should you do if people run away in two days?" ”

"Okay, people just woke up, let's talk slowly."

"Slow down, you have money, you see that woman forcing you to be rich, that's the old lady's money." The fat woman was not afraid of the ugliness of her family, so she stood at the door and scolded: "I didn't agree to borrow money at the beginning, you are good, you broke my shoes behind my back, you think I don't know, that woman in order to borrow money, how many old men in the village do it, you think I am stupid, I don't know." ”

"Okay, everyone is dead, what do you say?"

"You're not ashamed, I'm sorry, just what kind of man he is, I look like a, it's not a good thing."

Lotte can hear that this swearing is aimed at himself and his deceased wife, no wonder Nizi doesn't let herself go out to hang out, it turns out that this is the case.

Listening to these gossips, Lotte was powerless to refute, after all, he couldn't even remember who he was.

When wandering aimlessly, standing at the entrance of the village, I saw Nizi bouncing back with a plastic bag, and Lotte just wanted to meet it, when he saw a group of little children rushing out of the bushes, and began to sing curses around Nizi.

"Wild child, pick up garbage, your mother ran to steal the man's ......"

Nizi's face turned red and she walked away quickly with a plastic bag, but the bear children actually picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at Nizi, and Nizi didn't resist and ran away.

Lotte couldn't stand it anymore, and walked a few steps with a branch, "What are you doing?" ”

The bear child scattered as a bird and beast, and Nizi hurriedly ran over and said, "Dad, why did you come out?" ”

"It's okay to go shopping."

Nizi hurriedly helped Lotte, took the plastic bag and said, "I went to change some food, we have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”

Lotte saw that the plastic bag turned out to be boiled vegetables and two steamed buns.

"Let's go back."

When Nizi helped Lotte to go back, she passed by the fat woman's house again, and saw several women on the road, all of whom were creditors, pointing behind her back in front of her face and gossiping.

Nizi also heard these words, but she kept looking at Lotte very carefully, for fear that Lotte would be angry, fortunately, Lotte's expression was unwavering, until she got home, Nizi took the plates and chopsticks, put the dishes on the table, the chopsticks and steamed buns were all arranged, and said with a smile: "Dad, let's eat." ”

Lotte smiled and picked up the steamed bun and handed it to Nizi, "You eat." ”

"Daddy eats."

To be honest, the taste of this boiled dish is indeed not very good, but the father and daughter depend on each other, and it is also fun to have a New Year's dinner together.

During the meal, Nizi wanted to speak several times and stopped, but Lotte couldn't help it and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Dad, don't listen to the nonsense of the people in the village, Mom is not that kind of person."

Nizi is covering up, yes, if she doesn't say that, Lotte may not believe it, but Niko's child is too young, and Lotte suspects that her mother doesn't even do those things behind her back.

But these Lotte don't care anymore, he said: "I really wronged your mother in order to save me." ”

"I don't blame Mom." Nizi said with a look of grievance: "At that time, everything that could be sold at home was sold, and all the money that could be borrowed was borrowed, and my mother had no choice but to ......."

"Don't say it, it's my fault." Lotte interrupted Nizi's narration in time, Lotte is a sensible person, his wife is full of villages and hooks up with men just to borrow money, and the purpose of borrowing money is to save Lotte, what else can Lotte say, others don't understand but Lotte is only grateful to Dade.

patted Nizi on the head and said, "Take me to your mother's grave tomorrow, and I will pay homage to her." ”
