"Xiao Yao, I'm hungry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Xia Fanglian said pitifully while lying on the bed, the paper folded gold ingots on the ground were filled with three woven bags.

Xia Yao smiled and stepped forward to touch his mother's face, and said gently, "Have you eaten the snacks prepared for you?" ”

"It's all eaten." Xia Fanglian pointed to the ham sausage packaging bag, "Why did Xiao Yao come back so late, my mother is so hungry." ”

"It's late for class, I'm going to cook right away." She found another vacuum-packed loaf of bread, and the last thing she lacked in her family during this time was this kind of small food, "Mom, you eat one first to fill your stomach." ”

Xia Fanglian nodded with a smile, eating small bread while following her like a little tail, "Xiao Yao, you see if my mother is very good, my mother folded all the paper ingots in one afternoon." ”

Looking at Xia Fanglian's smug appearance, Xia Yao also smiled, "It's amazing, my mother is the best." ”

"Mom, do you want to go with me to deliver these paper ingots after eating?" Recently, Xia Fanglian's mental condition has improved, she wants her to go out for a walk and breathe fresh air, which is also helpful to her health, and it is now night, compared to the daytime, there are fewer people, and there should be no mistakes with her by her side.

"I'm not going!" Xia Fanglian shook her head frequently, she always had a strong wariness of the outside world.

"Okay, then I'll send the paper ingots later, can you sleep at home first?" Xia Yao never forced her mother to do things she didn't want to do.

"It's not good, I want to be with Xiao Yao." As soon as it was night, Xia Fanglian relied on Xia Yao extraordinarily.

"But I'm going to send paper ingots, these paper ingots are worth five yuan, let's use the money to buy some loquat to eat, this season's loquat has just been listed, sweet and sour, let's put some rock sugar to boil sugar water, it must be delicious." She deliberately pretended to be greedy.

Xia Fanglian was really moved, showing a hesitant expression, just like a child who simply likes to eat snacks, and the others don't think much about it at all, she struggled for a long time, and finally pulled the corner of Xia Yao's clothes, "Then I want to go with Xiao Yao." ”

Xia Yao achieved her goal, feeling a little guilty, but more joyful, Dr. Zhao's words gave her a lot of encouragement, and she began to look forward to Xia Fanglian's life after gradually returning to normal.

Today, Xia Fanglian is finally willing to go out, step by step, she believes that she will be able to integrate into society.

The owner of the incense candle shop, Grandma Li, is an old layman, has no children and no daughters, lives alone, she has a good relationship with Aunt Jiang of the neighborhood committee, she is usually very sympathetic to the weak, and her attitude towards Xia Yao is also very kind.

When she saw Xia Fanglian standing behind Xia Yao with a frightened face, she was very puzzled, and she was surprised to recognize her after looking at it.

More than ten years ago, she recognized this little girl, but unfortunately since she had an accident, she was locked up in the Xia family, let alone her, I'm afraid that no one in the dormitory of the textile factory has seen her, the years are not forgiving, the young and beautiful little girl back then, is now a lot older, and even there is a faint white hair on her head.

"Come on, come on, come and sit in the store." Grandma Li hurriedly got up and let them into the store, the shop was not big, and it was full of all kinds of Buddhist utensils, which was even more cramped, but Grandma Li still found two more chairs, "Sit down." ”

Xia Fanglian was full of wariness of the unfamiliar environment, pulling the corners of Xia Yao's clothes, dodging and refusing to go in.

"Xiaolian, don't you remember Grandma Li? When you were a child, your mother always sent you to Grandma's shop to buy things......" Grandma Li said with emotion, "How fast time is, so many years have passed in a flash." ”

"I remember, Grandma always gives me candy to eat." After a long while, Xia Fanglian lowered her head and said softly.

Xia Yao was instantly stunned, Xia Fanglian actually spoke!

Being able to persuade Xia Fanglian to go out today is already a rare progress, she still thinks about not being in a hurry to take her time, who would have thought that Xia Fanglian would be able to talk to people in a strange environment.

In the face of such progress, Xia Yao was so excited that he almost burst into tears, although Grandma Li was also surprised, but she was not as excited as her, she just smiled and recited a few words of Buddha, "It's hard for you that the kid still remembers, Grandma still has sugar here, you sit down and eat some sugar." ”

Although Grandma Li lives alone, she has always liked children, she has lived here for decades, everyone is familiar with her, often adults send children to her to buy things, and her store will always put some candy snacks for these children to eat.

Maybe it was the moment when she had a brief intersection with Grandma Li when she was a child, which left a beautiful and deep impression on Xia Fanglian, or maybe it was the old man's kind eyes and gentle words that made Xia Fanglian let down her guard, although she was a little uneasy, she still sat down in the store.

"In the end, it's a young man, your hands and feet are fast, I'm still worried that you won't be in time," Grandma Li took the woven bag in Xia Yao's hand, peeled off two candies and handed them to them respectively, "If I want my old woman to come alone, I'm afraid it will take a few days." ”

"Grandma, do you still need paper ingots?" Xia Yao smiled, "We can help fold it, no money." ”

These manual fees were not much, Xia Yao was grateful to Grandma Li for her tolerance to her mother, even if she didn't give money, she was willing to help.

"Well, your life is not easy, and I can't help an old woman, if I let you do day work, I will be punished." Grandma Li waved her hand again and again, she has studied Buddhism all her life, and believes in karma the most, "This time is enough, there is an old man on the other side of the street who died, he didn't see his children more filial piety when he was alive, I didn't expect that after leaving, the pomp was quite big, he had bought a lot of ingots at home, but I didn't expect to come over yesterday and say that I would use a few bags when I went out of the funeral." There are not many people in our line of work, only when people do funerals or festivals, they want paper ingots, my old woman usually has nothing to do, she will stack some, basically enough, next time if there is an emergency, I will definitely ask you for help. Despite sympathy, Grandma Li's own financial situation is not good, and she can't help them.

After chatting for a while, it wasn't until Xia Fanglian's face showed some tired looks that Xia Yao got up to say goodbye, Xia Fanglian took a big step in interacting with people today, she was grateful that Grandma Li was too late, and she refused to ask Grandma Li for her salary.

"Although this money is not much, this is what you deserve, if you don't accept my old woman, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life." Grandma Li said solemnly.

"Then thank you Grandma." Xia Yao took the five yuan and thanked the old woman sweetly, "Grandma, can I often bring my mother to chat with you in the future?" ”

"That's good, Grandma is usually alone, I don't know how happy you can come." Although Grandma Li has a good temperament, but she is a pious layman, usually the three aunts and six women in the neighborhood come to chat with her, she always likes to say a few words of karma or something, sometimes the three aunts and six women say something mean when chatting, and she loves to talk about what kind of mouth is going to hell or something like that, which makes many three aunts and six women feel uncomfortable, so the people who come to chat with her are not as good as looking for the aunt in the commissary.

She lives alone, how can she not be lonely, Xia Fanglian and Xia Yao are in a pitiful situation, but Xia Yao is beautiful and sweet-mouthed, both of them never refuse to say right and wrong, they are very kind of her temperament, they are willing to talk to her more, she really can't ask for it.

"Come on, come on, take these candies back and eat them." Grandma Li insisted on stuffing candy into their pockets, "I can't eat these as an old woman." ”

Xia Yao couldn't refuse, and looked at each other with Xia Fanglian holding the candy and smiled.
