In the morning, Jiang Lan slept in a daze, and heard his mother enter his room lightly, not knowing what to do.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Jiang Lan asked in a daze, and felt that his mother didn't know what to put under his pillow, Jiang Lan opened his eyes and turned out to see that it was a peace charm sewn with red cloth, Jiang Lan was immediately excited: "Mom! You're going to do this again, you're too rich, aren't you?! It's all a lie! ”

Although he said this, Jiang Lan still couldn't bear to hurt his mother's heart too much, and stuffed the peace charm back under the pillow. If only a few years ago, the peace charm in her hand would have been thrown directly into the trash.

Mother Jiang hung a small gold-plated copper piece on Jiang Lan's neck, and said bitterly: "Ah Lan, this peace charm can bless you with a speedy recovery, get married early, and have a safe life, don't throw it away." This piece of stuff is also issued in the Taoist temple, it is enlightened, you must wear it well! ”

Jiang's mother is a woman who grew up in the countryside, and later came to work in HZ city to meet Jiang's father who worked in HZ city, and the two fell in love freely and got married, and have lived in the city since then. But after all, Jiang's mother is a rural person, although she looks a little good-looking, and people can endure hardships, but as they get along for a long time, Jiang's father is more and more dissatisfied with this vulgar, irritable, selfish, unreasonable, lavish wife, who can't educate children, uneducated, superstitious and timid, and more importantly, the two have been married for 20 years, and they can't even give birth to a son, only Jiang Lan has a daughter.

After Jiang Lan unfortunately got a chronic disease, and spent all the family's savings after several years of treatment, but it was still not cured, Jiang's father's patience was worn out, and he was completely disappointed in the family, and moved out of the house alone, ignoring Jiang Lan's mother and daughter from then on. Although Jiang's mother was resentful, she did not entangle, which may be due to her natural strength and stubbornness; And Jiang Lan knew that it was her illness that dragged down the family, and she was not qualified to blame her father, and her condition became more and more serious under the coldness.

After being sick for a few years, Jiang Lan's temper has almost been worn out, and she will no longer raise her eyebrows when she feels unusual, because it takes a lot of effort, in addition to turning a blind eye and hearing but not hearing, she can occasionally do it to perfection. For example, to Jiang's mother, Jiang's mother is not a good person to get along with, she obviously cares about Jiang Lan very much in her heart, but she has a short temper, she gives Jiang Lan a look at every turn, and she will stage swearing, abuse, and insulting her daughter every day. A few years ago, Jiang Lan couldn't listen to other people's foul language, so he hated Jiang's mother more and more, and often confronted her. I thought in my heart, if you scold me, I will go back, you don't let me feel better, and I won't let you feel better. But now that he has been sick for a few years, Jiang Lan has seen more and more clearly in his heart, his temper has disappeared a lot, and he has become more and more calm, and he has tried his best to ignore Jiang's mother's scolding, and will only fight back if he can't stand it.

"How much did it cost?" Jiang Lan asked. At the age of 28, she can't work, has no income, and the expenses of her mother and daughter depend on the money that Jiang's mother gets from selling vegetables every morning, so she can be said to be a little bit of a matter in terms of money.

Jiang Lan basically doesn't spend money except for buying traditional Chinese medicine and some women's necessities, especially some money that doesn't have to be spent, not only does she not spend it herself, but she also doesn't allow Jiang's mother to spend money on herself, what she is most unaccustomed to is that her mother engages in feudal superstition, and the money is deceived by those liars who pretend to be ghosts, and she looks willing.

Listening to Jiang Lan's words, Jiang's mother said a little apprehensively: "Just twenty yuan, ten pieces of peace charms, and ten pieces of small gold." I've heard from others that this Taoist temple is very spiritual, so I didn't go to sell vegetables today, but went to that Taoist temple to get it. You don't know, now many people outside have suddenly fainted and can't get up, and the hospital is too busy to accept people. In the past few days, the next few families, except for Aunt Wang's family, all of them fainted and couldn't get up, so they were sent to the hospital, but the hospital didn't accept them, so they had to bring them back again, and I don't know if they can wake up. And just now, my mother was on the way home, and suddenly it was dark for a while, and I was scared to death! Fortunately, it was dawn again after a while, and my mother hurried back. You must carry this peace charm and small gold piece that your mother begged to let your mother feel at ease, you know? ”

"Oh. Is there really such a thing? Jiang Lan just sighed melancholy when she heard it, as for what Jiang's mother said that it was dark, she had heard it, even if she didn't believe it much, she just felt that this situation was very similar to the apocalyptic text she had been reading recently, but that was only a thing in novels, although Jiang Lan was addicted to it, she didn't believe that this kind of thing would happen in reality.

As for empathizing with what others are going through? She is still too busy to take care of herself, how can she have extra compassion to give to others? Hearing these human tragedies, at most she can only sigh, since she got sick, her heart has also been much colder, whether it is to others or to herself, she has long not allowed herself to be sad and cry. She has never complained about her situation, she has already thought it through, everyone has their own lives. No matter how difficult the life is, people will work hard to get by, no matter how miserable the modern times are, they are not as miserable as in ancient times, as long as people are not dead, no matter how bad they are, they will be well fed and warmly clothed.

"It's not early, don't wake up quickly, go out to bask in the sun, stay at home all day and read novels, what's so good about novels? That's how you can't get better, others who are lame can still go out and make money. Other people's daughters have already married, but my daughter doesn't want to get married, and she wants me to raise her, how can I be so miserable in my life! Mother Jiang said, and she didn't know what touched her, and began to complain sadly again.

Jiang Lan didn't move, she didn't react, she didn't know that she had said these words hundreds of times, Jiang Lan had seen this kind of behavior countless times, and Jiang Lan was now able to do it without waves in her heart.

Jiang Lan casually put on his pajamas and pajamas, got up slowly and washed up, tied his hair, stuffed his mobile phone into the pocket of his pants, took off the small gold piece hanging around his neck and looked at it in front of him, sneered, and thought in his heart: "It's the same as the one I threw away before, no one picked it up when it was thrown on the ground, and it cost ten yuan." Although she thought so, she still relented, and she put this little gold piece into the pocket of her coat, which could not be seen by others, and it was embarrassing.

After not going out for a few days, Jiang Lan's heart moved, and he wanted to go to the door to breathe fresh air, so he heard Jiang's mother shouting in the kitchen: "Ah Lan, I cooked noodles, do you want it?" ”

"Don't, don't want to eat!" Jiang Lan had no appetite when she just got up in the morning, she was not in good health, her appetite has always been bad, the worse her appetite, the worse her body, just like this, but there is no way, it is better than eating it to make her stomach uncomfortable.
