Chapter 34: Pure
The girl next to Aunt Zhang checked the computer again: "This kid came back from outside later, and now he should live with his grandmother, at present, it seems that he is working in a hotel." ”
I immediately asked him for my address and contact information.
Aunt Zhang sighed and said to me: "Tang Xiaofan, this child Luo Yong is actually quite difficult. ”
I hummed, didn't respond to anything, just recorded the message the girl showed me to the computer. Aunt Zhang on the side continued: "That money, after all, is owed by Zhou Hui, although the mother and son repay the debt, it can be ......."
After the recording, I smiled at Aunt Zhang:
"I know, I'm not asking him for money, I just want to talk to him, and if we have a good time, maybe I can give him some money."
After saying this, I ignored Aunt Zhang, who looked confused, and turned around and left.
According to the address I got from the neighborhood committee, I didn't call Rayong in advance, and went to his house directly according to the direction indicated on the address.
It has been a residential area for almost 20 years.
It's in the heart of the city, and it's very lively.
And the shape of the house looks okay, in our Qingshen County, it was considered a rich person to live in back then.
Later, most of the rich people moved away.
Almost a group of new residents, Rayong should have moved here later.
Rayong lives on the fifth floor, on the top floor.
Standing downstairs, I looked up at the room where the sun was shining.
The light is indeed plentiful, and the heat is for sure.
Pulling out my phone, I made a call to Rayong.
It was a male voice who answered the phone on the other end, he asked me who I was, I thought for a while, and said: "My name is Tang Xiaofan, and I am a friend of your mother Zhou Hui before, I only learned today that your mother has passed away for a long time, so ...... I...... I want to come and see you. ”
What I said is pure nonsense.
But I really can't find any other excuse.
I know that if I tell the truth and say that a ghost asked me to ask for someone from your mother, the other party must have hung up the phone immediately, and then scolded me in my heart for being a psychopath.
After hearing me say that, Rayong on the other end of the phone was obviously silent.
I didn't speak, I listened carefully to what he was doing over there.
After a while, he said, "My wife is at home with my grandmother, so go up." ”
After hanging up, I was a little excited.
Just as I was about to go upstairs, I saw that my hand was empty, and I immediately felt that I should buy something before I went over.
So I went to the kiosk in the neighborhood to buy some fruit, and when I was paying, I stopped by the shopkeeper's hall to ask Rayong. When the other party heard me ask Rayong, he sighed and said:
"This man, he's not bad, but he's too pitiful."
Hearing this, I asked the other party what was going on.
The shopkeeper said: "This is a real person, down-to-earth and hardworking, but who knows, there is a grandmother who has been paralyzed in bed for a long time, and his wife has been diagnosed with kidney replacement disease, which is a disease that costs a lot of money, and he has a stall." ”
Hearing this, I quickly bought another carton of milk from the shopkeeper.
Carrying heavy things upstairs, my mood was heavier than what I was doing.
knocked on the iron door on the fifth floor, and a woman opened it.
Through the old door frame, I saw that it was a thin face, and there was no blood on it.
The woman asked me if it was Tang Xiaofan, and I nodded.
Rayong wasn't at home, he should have called and told this woman my name. I followed the woman into the house, and I smelled that the house was smelly.
It was a mixed smell of feces and urine, and I felt sick and hard to say.
The woman turned around and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my grandmother is not in good health, so I ......"
I quickly nodded and said it didn't matter.
In terms of age, Rayong was not yet thirty years old, and his wife was about the same age as him at most, but the woman in front of him had a haggard face, and the bags under her eyes drooped deeply, and she looked like she was in her forties.
I heard that people with kidney disease are like this, and it will be reflected in the eyes.
In addition, I have heard that kidney disease requires long-term treatment and can be quite expensive.
Even if there is a medical reimbursement, it will not be very strong.
Looking around and looking at families that are not wealthy, I only feel one word - "bitter". In my impression, it has always been poor and sick, only the icing on the cake, where is there anything to give charcoal in the snow.
The woman sat me down and poured me a glass of water.
Smelling the stench of a room, I was pitiful, but where could I still drink.
Putting the cup aside, I asked what about Rayong?
She said she was still at work and wouldn't be back until 10 p.m.
I looked at my phone, it's only four o'clock in the afternoon, I feel a little anxious, ten o'clock in the evening, then don't I want to stay in this turbid air for six or seven hours?
After a few small talks with Rayong's wife, I didn't know what to say.
We looked at each other and it was a bit awkward.
At this moment, a faint voice came from the half-hidden door of the room, and Rayong's wife listened to it, and after agreeing, she pushed open the door and entered.
As soon as the door opened, an even stronger stench came to me.
Quickly getting up, I stood by the window.
This is the case with a patient at home who is unable to take care of himself.
My dad was like that, too.
In these years, it is not easy to hire someone to take care of such a patient, 10,000 yuan a month, where can the average family afford it, not to mention, there is a kidney disease patient who has to be on regular dialysis.
Rayong's burden is really not small.
Standing by the window, although you can breathe fresh air, the sun here is facing west, and the sun is sticky on your body, which is very uncomfortable.
Just then, I looked downstairs at the commissary.
The shopkeeper was busy just now, and his business seemed to be good, and there were many people in the shop.
A woman had just bought a large watermelon, and when she came out of the store, the bag containing the watermelon suddenly broke, and the watermelon inside fell down and fell to pieces.
The juice flowed all over the ground, and the shopkeeper saw it and hurriedly came to clean it.
And for a moment, I stared at the red liquid that was flowing on the ground, and my eyes gradually became glazed.
Because, when I saw the juice, its color was bright red. I felt dizzy, and the scene around me, in my eyes, seemed to dim, and the red liquid that flowed suddenly was like blood gushing out of the veins of a human artery.
Although it was a little far away, I seemed to smell a strong smell of blood.
And at this moment, the female customer who was carrying melons just now suddenly looked up at me.
I was shocked, her eyes were sharp.
And I also recognized her, this woman is Xia Hong......
