Chapter 8: The Time of the Snail's Nest (Part II)
The old man quit, picked up his crutch and knocked on the table, "Wait a while, this is not enough." Much worse. ”
"What's not enough?" The squint-eyed woman is also justifiable.
"Look at it, a piece of 3 cents and 5, just prepare to bag me, and I'm not lame." The old man was a little annoyed.
That's it, the two of you quarreled with each other, and they didn't give in to each other. After all, the uncle's brain is not as fast as that of young people, and in the blink of an eye, the squint-eyed woman has the upper hand. Although it is said that hitting people does not slap their faces, scolding people does not expose their shortcomings. But when it's time to quarrel, I can't care so much.
So the old man's anger turned into a sentence: "What are you so good at me, you are reasonable, you can't see the numbers clearly, are your eyes slanted?" The squint-eyed woman was stunned for a moment, and stood in place like a statue.
It may be that the uncle is more emotional, or it may be that the voice is louder when he says this, and the airflow in the mouth is stronger, just when the squint-eyed woman is stunned, the uncle's dentures also erupt and fall into the large plate of high-quality noodles on the stall.
"Wow......" The people queuing up to buy noodles suddenly exploded, some shook their heads again and again, and some covered their mouths, but they all moved to other places to buy them. The squint-eyed woman also woke up, staring at the dentures, but still hadn't reacted.
"Your eyes are like this, this is retribution, retribution ......" The uncle picked up his dentures, stuffed them into his mouth, lifted the noodles, and muttered as he walked.
I looked at the squint-eyed woman, she stood there motionless, tears dripping down her face, but I felt a little sympathy for her, and I wanted to say: I really don't hate her so much.
Besides, the house I rented was in early summer, and the weather was not very hot, so I could still fall asleep by taking a hot shower at night and turning on the electric fan. But with the rotation of the solar terms, I still reluctantly ushered in the heat of the day.
Many of the rental houses in Xingfu New Village are dark and damp without the sun. The spacing between buildings is very narrow, and tenants can even shake hands with each other between adjacent buildings. This also seriously affects daylighting and privacy. Therefore, there are many people whose mobile phones can be stolen by thieves in adjacent buildings, even if they are on the table in their own rooms.
When the heat falls, the electric fan sends gusts of hot air. Although there is a mattress on the bed, it is still as hot as a "frying pan of pancakes", and I am like a pancake that is flipped over and over again on the "frying pan", sprinkled with chopped green onions and cumin, and I can immediately roll the green onions. I was the most afraid of heat in my life, and when I got hot, I lost my appetite, and my weight dropped rapidly within a week, becoming double digits.
The most feared thing is to wake up in the middle of the night after sleeping until midnight, and there is not only sweat on the face, but also oil, and it is no wonder that at the age of 20, the secretion of oil glands is too vigorous. If someone asked me as a child, "What is your desire?" I replied affirmatively: "I want to be a scientist and contribute to the scientific construction of my great motherland." But for now, I just want to say, "I want an air conditioner so much, and I have the whole world with it." ”
Across the street from mine lived a girl who worked at a bar. She often dresses up sexy and fashionable, with long burgundy hair, and her clothes are leaky, and every day when everyone comes home from work, she starts to get up, brush her teeth, wash her face, and dress up with makeup. But her makeup is very good, and contact lenses and black silk are her must-have items.
I get off work at 3 o'clock in the morning every day, and it's almost 4 o'clock when I get home, probably because of work needs, and I basically get drunk every time. So at 4 a.m. I would be woken up by the sound of vomiting outside the door. At the same time, I will think of this poem, "Vomit, vomit, startle a shoal of gulls and herons." "She was undoubtedly punctual enough to book me a biological clock to remind me that it was time to wake up late, and even sometimes when she didn't have to go to work, I would still get up at 4 a.m. to go to the bathroom.
A family of three lived next door. Two adults and a three-year-old girl are both from Guangzhou. The soundproofing of the house is not very good, so you can hear their conversation very clearly, and it feels like listening to a Cantonese movie. And the man in this family likes to drink very much, and every time he comes back drunk, as soon as he passes by my door, I smell the aroma of ethanol.
After drinking, he beat his wife and children, and the men's and women's doubles were accompanied by the crying of the children, which was endless. I often saw him shut the child out of the door and refuse to eat, and the little girl's face was blue and purple. Sometimes I can't help it, and I will secretly stuff her with something to eat.
It was in the midst of this discomfort that I began to live in my own home. Wake up on time every day, go to the Internet café to browse the Internet, look for a job, and submit a resume. Emphasize civilization, hygiene, and love life. But there was one thing I didn't expect, and that was that I had a fever.
In fact, my physique is still very good, my mother said that I was born with eight pounds and six taels. I haven't been sick since I was a child, but when I was born, I was sick like a mountain. I can't remember why I had a fever, but at the moment I was lying in bed, dying, the thermometer was showing 38.6 degrees Celsius, and I was still pulling my stomach, and my stomach was full of nausea.
Well, this little thing, I think it's still difficult to be stumped, after all, we are studying medicine, although I didn't learn very well, I went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy some medicine and came back, just swallowed the water, and fell asleep groggily.
I don't know when, I was woken up by the phone ringing. I picked it up without opening my eyes.
"Hey, Ai Xiaoya, where are you now?" It was a male voice on the other end of the phone.
"At home, who are you, I'm a little uncomfortable at this moment, I don't want to talk about ......," I replied.
"Hey, hey, hey......" I finally seemed to hear these words, and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already night, and the surroundings were white, and my nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant water. That's when I found myself in the hospital. And Li Yunxiang was sitting on the edge of my bed looking at his phone. Wait a minute, how could he be here?
"You woke up, how are you feeling? Doctor, she's awake. Seeing me wake up, Li Yunxiang came to his senses.
"Why, why am I here?" My head is still a little groggy, but my stomach is much more comfortable.
"Girl, you have to pay attention to what you eat in the future. It's easy to eat bad stomach in this summer season, you have a little bit of food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea all cause electrolyte imbalances in the body, if your boyfriend hadn't found out early, the result would have been a bit hanging. An old doctor told me.
How so? But how could Li Yunxiang be here, and how did he find out about me?
"Young man, you go and buy her a bowl of porridge for her to drink a little, and now she still needs to eat some liquids." The doctor said.
