68. I sincerely advise the Qinglou to row lonely and help the old woman relieve her worries

Sending off the pregnant woman, someone shouted girlishly in the back. Dongfang Hong looked back, and it turned out to be a prostitute "A Little Red", who was smiling and beckoning to herself.

"A little red" is surnamed Shan, and his name is Qiaoyun. Hometown in Sihe. Emancipate the pre-inhabitants. Since the mother's womb fell to the ground, it slowly fell like a flower. But since he was a child, his family was poor and he never went to school. Since he was three years old, he learned embroidery by his mother's side. The hard work pays off, about a year or more, the embroidered red peony, mandarin duck playing in the water, magpie climbing the branch and what hand crutches and other embroidery, each piece is vivid, chiseled and likeable. At first, most of them were given to relatives, friends, neighbors, etc., and they took them home to make pillows, belly bags, aprons and other supplies, which can be said to be responsive. Later, every 369 set day, he followed his mother to the town to set up a stall to sell, and the embroidery he brought was sold out in less than half a day. But the good times did not last long, and at the end of this year, when the worker's father was killed by the Japanese while building a railroad. Immediately afterwards, the mother, who often coughed, did not admit that she was suffering from tuberculosis, and soon died with a scream. Before he died, he entrusted his daughter Qiaoyun and sent her uncle for adoption. Unexpectedly, this mother's uncle made all friends with Hu Peng dogs, as the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and they slowly became infected with the vice of playing money. When Qiaoyun was a teenager, his maternal uncle became a gambler. On this day, he was unlucky, and the silver coins and bracelets he brought with him were lost. The winner got up and was about to leave, but his uncle grabbed the winner's arm, played hard and stinky, and played with a dead face, and as a result, the first three grass houses on the stake were lost; One didn't do two endlessly, and the second one lost the wife who was on the bet. At this time, the winner laughed and asked his uncle to immediately lose the house and his wife's note. My uncle didn't give it, and said that he would continue to play. The winner said. You have to play tricks, but there are rules in the money field. , you have to move the handle seriously, you can't poke your fingers! The maternal uncle said that of course, so he bet his niece Qiaoyun on it, but he still lost. And immediately gave the people a separate note, and pressed the hand on the three notes. Since then, he has become a poor bastard, and in response to that sentence, he looked up at the rafters without a house, and looked down at the ploughed land. It's really like there's no place to poke a stick. I had no choice but to throw myself into the surging prince river to meet King Yan. And less than a year after Qiaoyun was ravaged by the winner, he was sold to a brothel in Liaoyang City. Since then, she has become a prostitute and has been named "a little red". Fortunately, thanks to the liberation of Liaoyang, he was able to survive and returned to his hometown of Zhongsihe alone. Because of some savings, I can barely get by. A day of idleness, and the bad habits have not changed, the family of the independent courtyard from time to time secretly recruits a lot of people. ……

When Dongfang Hong came in the morning, although he had a face-to-face with this Shan Qiaoyun in the conference room. However, due to the large number of people in the venue, the chaos and shadows, and the lack of light, it is not very clear to see. It's noon. The sun was shining outside, and Dongfang Hong looked closer, Shan Qiaoyun was still dressed and charmed like a woman in the Qinglou back then: her hair was in a towering bun. The face is like white paper, and the eyebrows are drawn and the temples are drawn. Wear a big lapel blue tweed. Feet on a pair of half-new and not old tall shoes. On the ring finger of his left hand he wears a gold ring set with a sparkling sapphire blue. The fingers of his right hand are pricked on the ground and a cigarette is spewing clouds. The nads of the index and middle fingers are visibly dark red marks from smoky fire. A mouthful of fairly white teeth can be seen with black tartar between the gaps.

Dongfang Hong couldn't help but be shocked when he was dressed like this, and he didn't know why Shan Qiaoyun shouted to himself, he had a little doubt, and stepped forward with a somewhat hesitant attitude and asked: "Fang is the one who called me something?" ”

Shan Qiaoyun let out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "I didn't call you anything, I just want to talk to you again, almost." You don't know my name yet, do you?! My name is Shan Qiaoyun, and I have never done crop work for most of my life, and I am an idler; Later, after liberation, he returned to his hometown from Liaoyang City! ”

Dongfang Hong saw that Shan Qiaoyun's originally pale face was now afraid that it would become red due to shame, and he was a little embarrassed, and said politely: "Then I should call you Aunt Shan!" ”

"You call me Aunt Shan! If you don't just call me aunt, don't bring the word with that surname, it seems to be broken; But whatever you want, you can call it whatever you want. ”

"Then I'll call you aunt from now on!"

"How affectionate do you think it is?! And in the morning, when we met, you rushed to talk to your aunt, although you didn't say much, but your aunt felt warm in her heart. Until the lecture began, I listened to it and thought about you! ”

"Really?! But you don't know, aunt, when you called me behind me, I thought what would happen to my aunt when she shouted me?! Didn't I say a few words to her when the two met in the morning, as if I was estranged from my aunt, and I was afraid that my aunt would be unhappy! ”

"Auntie, who is that kind of person?! Little foreign daughter, you may not know everything, since my aunt returned to this fort, no one likes to squeak with my aunt when I meet, although some of them say a sentence and a half, they also have to say that they have to meet on a narrow road, and they will leave after wiping their bodies, which is ridiculous; Others just call me 'a little red', and I will scold him, your mother is only a little red, little adopted son, you give me potatoes to move - get out of the ball! What's more just laughing, but laughing is not funny, it's a bit cheap and wordy, which makes my aunt feel so uncomfortable when she hears it! ”

Dongfang Hong felt that Shan Qiaoyun's tone was very uncomfortable to hear, but she also fully understood the meaning of her words - she was very dissatisfied with those who despised her, so she said: "Auntie, listen to me, no matter who you see again in the future, whether he laughs, or doesn't speak, or calls you anything, it's too much, we can't promise him; But generally small people come and go, aunt, don't go to your heart, just do what you want, as long as we go right in the future, the page of the past will simply be turned over! ”

"Little daughter, you said this to my aunt's heart, that's what my aunt thought when she was fine, I blamed that society when I fell into the dust, and I complained that I didn't covet a good uncle, I even had the heart to die for a while, how can you blame me?!"

"Auntie, it's right to think so, you were able to fall into the fire pit at that time, mainly because of that society."

"Yes! But some of our people in Sihe don't see it that way, these little ones who are stabbed will not die well sooner or later. I'm not cursing them behind my back! ”

Dongfang Hong smiled and said, "Auntie, don't scold, don't be angry!" Otherwise, you'll be angry. We can't do it at all! ”

"You don't know yet, women, those who laugh. None of them are good turtle calves. I could see from their eyes that none of them were at ease and wanted to take advantage of me! My aunt has been out there for most of her life, what kind of lynx beast I haven't seen?! I'm not blowing, I can't rub a little sand in my eyes! After saying that, he took out a pack of mass-produced cigarettes with tin foil, lit one and smoked it.

"Whoever has an outside heart like this, aunt, don't even answer him!"

"Yes! Surely my aunt would not have replied to them; My aunt is a foreign daughter who doesn't tell lies at all. If I had been a little moved when I heard them say this, my aunt would not have said that to you again. ”

Dongfanghong nodded and said, "But the foreign daughter also has to say it directly, this aunt, you have to make up your mind!" ”

"My little daughter, you can rest assured, today we will talk to each other, aunt I dare to promise you!"

"That's good!" When the young Dongfang Hong heard Shan Qiaoyun speak like this, he was very excited, and he couldn't help but have a tear in his eyes, and he couldn't stop it. Finally rolled down.

Shan Qiaoyun saw it clearly, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Aunt you?! …… The foreign girl is crying here, why are you crying? ”

Shan Qiaoyun wiped away her tears and said, "Silly girl, you don't understand this." My aunt still doesn't have a child, and she's alone! ”

Dongfang Hong understood Shan Qiaoyun's mood and thought thoughtfully.

"But. Sometimes I just confess, and some people just don't believe me. For example, the cadres of the brigade, this is how they see me. It seems to be always said in and out of the words behind her back, a woman in a green building is always spicy with ginger, and she shook her head after speaking. As soon as I heard this, I couldn't bear it anymore and became discouraged. ”

"Don't be discouraged, this kind of thing is going to be tested by time, and when people really understand you, even if there are still people who say irresponsible things, it won't help him!"

Shan Qiaoyun's eyes lit up and said: "Daughter, you really understand things, you can say everything in my aunt's heart, which makes me really unhappy!" ”

At this time, Dongfanghong saw Director Song, Dr. Shao and Director Zou walk out of the door of the conference room of the brigade and towards the gate.

Shan Qiaoyun hurriedly said, "Then daughter, are you still going to sit at your aunt's house for a while?" ”

"Not today, Director Song is afraid that he will go back to the town with me soon, let's do it another day!"

"Then I'll go!" Shan Qiaoyun walked away, walked a short distance and smiled back, beckoning to Dongfanghong.

Dongfanghong also beckoned.

Director Song smiled at Dongfang Hong and said, "I know you came out to see them off first, you did the right thing, as soon as we come back to this brigade, we have to be a little polite, and we can't celebrate the festival." I often come and go here, I didn't pick at all, and after the meeting, I saw that I still had some time, so I met the women of this brigade with Director Zou in the house. ”

Dongfanghong explained: "What, I am not allowed to say that it is to send them, but to go out to the public toilet first, and by the way, I will look at this and that, and just say a few words." ”

Dr. Shao said: "I also went to the public toilet after I came, and when I came out, I saw that your President Dongfang was chatting with them in the courtyard, so I was too embarrassed to disturb them, so I waited for Director Song at the door of the conference room. ”

Director Zou, who was grinning, said without being outside: "President Dongfang! Let me tell you, the woman who just talked to you, she turned out to be a prostitute, her nickname is a little red, what did she say to you? ”

"She didn't say anything, she just said that she was alone now, and she was very willing to be with her acquaintances and talk a lot."

"Why is she alone?! I've heard people say before that she and someone from our brigade, as well as someone, are covering the night in the open shop, but it's not like talking, you must not listen to her nonsense! ”

"Really?! Hearing you say that, this person really has nowhere to listen! Dongfang Hong blushed and said.

Director Song said, "What?!" I guess she knows that you are a student, seeing that you are small and good-looking, so she opened her mouth and didn't keep her mouth open, she was born to be that kind of plaything, don't pay attention to her in the future, let her stay away! ”

Dongfanghong nodded.

At this time, an old woman came out of the courtyard of a household in the south, and Dongfanghong saw that it was the old woman who came to listen to the lecture in the morning, so she asked: "Grandma, do you live in this courtyard?" ”

"It's not! This is an uncle and nephew of mine, and yesterday I heard that he was not leisurely, and after this meeting, I went into the house to see him. Why are you all leaving? ”

"Isn't that how?! As soon as the meeting ended, I said a few words to this one, and then a few words to that one, plus I waited for Director Song, so I didn't go for a long time. Dongfanghong said, and asked, "Grandma, how are you listening to Dr. Shao's lecture today?" ”

The old grandmother suddenly became happy, patted her thigh and said, "What this Doctor Shao is talking about is really incomparable, especially what is it called?!" Ah yes, how to do a good job of hygiene with that pimple under a woman, we older people are really on the right track, but it's a little late, if I listen to it before the first thirty years, it would be great! ”

Dr. Shao laughed and said, "Grandma, thirty years ago was before liberation, and I was just born at that time, how could I give you a lecture?!" ”

"I'm saying it for example, if we can hear those delicate things you talk about since we were young, wouldn't we be able to nourish ourselves by living?! This is good, just listen to a tail, listen to a tail is also very good, tomorrow I will send the child to the town according to your Dr. Shao said to grab some medicine and come back, so that I can cure my disease, as soon as possible; If not, I really can't afford it, I'm not afraid of your jokes, this smell down there, it's a big deal! ”

Dongfang Hong whispered to Dr. Shao's ear: "Could this old woman have any other diseases?" ”

Doctor Shao said softly: "I have already told her about her, it is best to let her go to Liaoyang City Hospital for a check-up." ”

Dongfanghong turned around and told the old grandmother what he said.

The old grandmother said: "I don't go, it costs more money to go to one, and I am more anxious if I find out that I am sick, isn't it?!" That's how good it is for me to be sick?! ”

Dongfang Hong said anxiously: "Grandma, what you think is wrong, you are old to check for disease prevention, my father is also a doctor, I understand this truth; You can't always be black-headed, you can't keep it in the dark, that will make a mistake! ”

Dr. Shao also explained.

At this time, the eldest son of the old woman came, saying that the mother had not come home so late, and the family was very anxious at home, worried about any accidents, so they came to take a look, listened to the conversation of several people, and knew the reason, and immediately promised to take his mother into the city to check the condition tomorrow, and Ren Ke spent 180 yuan.
