CHAPTER XXVII
It was noisy all morning, and nothing was said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Anqing and Ye Shu discussed having lunch and continuing in the afternoon.
The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and the villagers were talking happily, still greeting each other, and continuing to come over when they were free in the afternoon. Some people also cheered Chen Aiguo up: "Don't be afraid of the two crazy women of the Li family, everyone knows what's going on." There are also people who bitterly say that Chen Chuan can't recognize people at a young age, "Otherwise, he doesn't talk about any favors, it's his foreign family!" ”
The former Chen Aiguo sincerely thanked him and shouted that he came to the house for dinner, while the latter sneered, too lazy to take care of it, and the other party had to say more, so he blocked back with a sentence: "You, an outsider, still know that it is a Sichuan baby's house!" I don't think the people of the Li family know it themselves! ”
Ye Shu poured a large vat full of tea in one go, and only then did he recover from his thirst and heat. She sat weakly in the shade, her mouth was bitter and her heart was empty, a morning's time was in vain, she could see that Chen Chuan's third aunt would not agree to return the subsidy certificate to Chen Chuan's family at all, let alone the previous subsidy. The director of the judicial department has a little headache, according to the current situation, if this continues, the two families are afraid that they will have a mortal enmity.
An Anqing came over to discuss with her and told her to go to her house for lunch at noon. Ye Shu thought about it for a while and politely declined: "Chen Chuan has already told me to have dinner at their house at noon," she glanced at Chen Chuan, "right?" ”
"Hmm." Chen Chuan agreed sullenly, and went to the corner to pick up the peanut and melon seed shells that swept the yard with a broom dustpan. Chen Aiguo followed him and gathered the stool. It seemed that with the mediation of the morning ending for the time being, father and son were back to their usual ways, wooden, silent and silent.
"That's fine." An Anqing didn't force it, he smiled and said to the director of the judicial department: "Director Ye, you are so good to eat, let's talk about it in the afternoon." ”
Ye Shu smiled bitterly and replied, "Well, let's talk about it in the afternoon." ”
Sending away the safety green, Chen Aiguo quickly cleaned up the yard and went to the stove to cook. Before that, he called out to Chen Chuan: "You go to the house to see your mother, she has been in there all morning, see what she is doing now." ”
Chen Chuan answered, dumped the garbage in the dustpan into the dirt pit outside the yard that was used as a garbage can, put things in and washed his hands before walking to the house. Ye Shu stopped him, the look on her face was a little hesitant, and finally she hesitated for a while and then gritted her teeth and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't been in contact with your mother yet?" ”
Chen Chuan sighed, "Director Ye, do you want to talk to my mother?" His face was a little dazed, he reached out and scratched his hair, he smiled embarrassedly at Ye Shu, "I want to ask my dad first, my mom," the young man paused for a moment, and then said in a normal tone, "My mom's situation is a bit special. ”
"I know I know," Ye Shu said hurriedly, "but after all, according to the rules, I still have to talk to your mother and talk about some situations, after all, your mother is the person concerned." ”
Nodding half-understandingly, Chen Chuan asked in the stove room, "Can Director Ye go and see my mother?" After a while, Chen Aiguo's urn replied angrily: "Go, it's okay." Probably afraid that Ye Shu would be worried, Chen Aiguo added: "Your mother can recognize people now." ”
As a grassroots judicial worker, Ye Shu believes that he has gained insight and mental preparation for many people and things related to poverty. At the beginning of the 2000s, the remote mountain villages in Bashu were really poor. It is good to say that those who are close to the towns are not able to benefit even the slightest from the development of the towns because of the difficult roads. The four walls of the house are not only an adjective here, but also a reality.
Compared with the most unbearable extreme poverty, Ye Shu believes that Chen Chuan's family is in good financial condition. The director of the judicial office noticed that there were TVs and refrigerators in the house, although the styles were all from ten years ago, but this also shows that the Chen family had retained its vitality with great difficulty in the previous blows, and although the family was crumbling, it survived strongly.
Chen Chuan pulled Ye Shu and helped her avoid a bench in the middle of the room in time, "My parents' house has no windows, it's very dark, be careful of falling." ”
"Why don't you install windows?" Ye Shu asked in front.
"Yes before, then mom ...... My dad just blocked the window. Chen Chuan said vaguely, he didn't want to tell outsiders about something related to his mother, so he changed the topic stiffly: "What does Director Ye like to eat?" We also have bacon from last year's kang, fried with cauliflower, which is very fragrant. ”
Ye Shu knew that he didn't want to say more, a boy of this age...... The head of the judicial office smiled silently, and she followed Chen Chuan's words and said, "Oh, indeed, the bacon sausages in the countryside are better than those in the city. ”
The Chen family can't talk about any pattern, traditional Bashu houses. The two-storey blue-striped stone building has a hall house and a stove room at the bottom, and a room for people living upstairs. Stepping on the creaking stairs to go upstairs, Chen Chuan asked Ye Shu to wait outside first, he went in first, and said to Ye Shu in a low voice while groping for the pull rope of the incandescent lamp: "My mother is not in good spirits, and she may still be sleeping." ”
He touched the lamp rope, the wire was not in good contact, it took two times to pull the light to turn on, and then walked lightly to the bed, his mother Li Qiuping did not move with her face facing in, and on a hot summer day, she put a towel quilt on her body, and she didn't know whether she was asleep or awake.
Chen Chuan raised his voice slightly and screamed again, he remembered what his father Chen Aiguo had told him: Li Qiuping is afraid of being frightened, as long as he is not frightened, he is no different from a normal person.
Xu heard her son's call, Li Qiuping vaguely agreed, and slowly turned around on the bed, she was so thin that she was out of shape, and there was no life in her eyes. The incandescent lamp has been used for a long time, and it is covered with dust, and it is weak in the room, only the middle one is still bright, and the rest of the place is dark, as if in this windowless room, even if the light is turned on, there is no way to drive away the stubborn darkness.
"Mom, the one I told you last time, the head of the Triangle Judicial Office," Chen Chuan patted his mother's thin back and said to her softly: "I'm here today, I want to tell you a few words, Mom, do you want to?" ”
Li Qiuping drooped her head and didn't speak for a long time, Chen Chuan waited patiently for a long time, but there was still silence. Just when he was full of disappointment and was about to tell Ye Shu to forget it, a weak voice sounded: "Which one, which one is Ye Shu?" ”
Chen Chuan was overjoyed. He stabilized his mind, especially controlling the volume for fear of scaring Li Qiuping: "I told you last week, he is the director of the judicial office." He complained, like an ordinary son to a careless mother, "You really have a bad memory." ”
Li Qiuping raised her head in confusion and smiled timidly at her son, "You know I don't have a good memory." She looked at her son, who had gradually shed her childishness, raised her hand to touch his head, raised it halfway and put it down, grabbed the corner of her clothes and defended herself a little shyly, "Your mother is old." ”
In the dim light, the mother's eyes sparkled.
Ye Shu was waiting outside for Chen Chuan to call her in. From her point of view, she could only see Chen Chuan sitting down next to his mother's bed and saying something softly, in order to avoid irritating Chen's mother, the head of the judicial office did not look too much, and carefully hid his figure. After a few minutes, Chen Chuan came out and called her in, Ye Shu saw that his eyes were red, and asked if something was wrong.
"There was ash in just now, and I rubbed it a few times."
This is the first time that the leaf tree has been in close contact with a special patient. She remembers how to communicate with each other in the job training.
Don't irritate the other person.
"Mother Chen Chuan, I am Ye Shu, the director of the Triangle Judicial Office, you can call me Director Ye." Ye Shu sat down on the small stool that Chen Chuan brought as naturally as possible, her eyes naturally fell on the place where Li Qiuping's eyes were lower, she briefly introduced her identity, and then began to ask routinely: "Do you know that you have a subsidy?" ”
Keep the questions simple and clear, and don't use long sentences.
Li Qiuping obviously had no idea about the so-called subsidy, and she glanced at Chen Chuan with confusion and uneasiness - as a patient who had suffered a great mental stimulation and could not be treated for a long time, Li Qiuping's condition was obviously surprisingly better now, but this did not mean that she could have a concept of certain things.
Chen Chuan took his mother's hand and squeezed it encouragingly, he and his father had consciously let Li Qiuping make his own choices and decisions a long time ago, and these trainings were undoubtedly beginning to bear fruit: although Li Qiuping was a little timid, she answered the question of the head of the judicial department clearly: "There is some money from the brigade." Although she still didn't dare to look directly at Ye Shu, this sentence was obviously a very clear signal: Li Qiuping was not an incapacitated person.
Don't induce the person being questioned and don't use biased questions.
The leaf tree is very happy with this harvest. But she still wanted to try to get more information, so she did a somewhat risky thing: the head of the judicial department walked very close to Chen Chuan's mother and squatted down, looked directly into the poor woman's eyes, and lowered her voice as much as possible, trying not to irritate her: "Mother Chen Chuan, do you know where the money is now?" ”
Chen Chuan was obviously starting to get nervous, he stared at Ye Shu, frowned, pursed his lips, and his eyes were capitalized disapproval. Ye Shu glanced at him soothingly, still focusing on Li Qiuping.
This sentence is somewhat beyond Li Qiuping's current comprehension. She glanced at her son at a loss, and then at the young woman who claimed to be the head of the judicial office, the question that was too difficult for her now obviously made Li Qiuping feel confused, the evidence was that she held her son's hand tightly and began to dodge Ye Shu's gaze.
Ye Shu sighed in some frustration. Chen Chuan tried to reassure her mother, and at the same time cast a somewhat helpless and condemning look at her, she knew that it was her fault for being too anxious - the head of the judicial department regretted it a little, but she also knew that this was a question that had to be asked: only by proving that Li Qiuping herself was still capable of acting could the subsidy be taken back from her mother and sisters, even if the law clearly stipulated that Li Qiuping's guardian was Chen Chuan's father.
But perhaps Li Qiuping did begin to get better, and under the comfort of her son, she calmed down, although she was still nervous about Ye Shu, a stranger, but she understood Ye Shu's problem, and vaguely felt that this woman was on the side of her son and husband - this cognition supported her to answer clearly, although difficult: "Wow, my mother and my third sister are on hand." ”
