Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mysterious Woman
Shallow watched TV with her grandmother until late at night, and her grandmother said, "When you see it, I will accompany you until the time!"
"Mother, can you see the people inside?" Shallow asked grandma.
"Yes, I can see clearly!" Grandma said as she chewed peanuts in her mouth and looked at the TV with a smile.
In the TV series, "Mother" starring Siqin Gaowa is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Qianqian and her grandmother are talking and laughing while spending time, and they are both addicted to watching it, until one o'clock in the morning, Qianqian went to sleep in another room alone.
My grandfather woke up early in the morning, and at four or five o'clock in the morning, he woke up early, turned on the radio, listened to the news, and the cat next to him was woken up and squeaked over his head. Listening to the movement outside, he still fell asleep in a trance. I don't know how, she has nightmares and nightmares every time she sleeps in this room. She grew up rarely having nightmares, so she felt weird.
When I woke up in the morning, my grandfather was already sitting outside. He was still sitting under the walnut tree, with a black radio on a stool beside him.
"Shallow, go eat." Grandpa pointed to the rice on the table.
"Hmm!" I went to the edge of the pool and washed my face casually, then went back to the house, combed my hair, and sat down under the walnut tree to eat with my grandfather and grandmother.
The white cat didn't know when it would come back, and it lay at Grandpa's feet. He glanced at it and said to his grandmother, "Mother, I'll go out to play for a while."
"Well, go ahead!" Grandma continued to eat and replied shallowly. After a shallow glance, my grandfather smiled, then opened the door and walked out.
The sun outside was quite abundant, and the old people in the nursing home were sitting casually, and Aunt Lin had already prepared a meal for them. When she saw Qianqian coming out, she leaned out and stopped Qianqian: "Qianqian, come—come and have some food."
"No!" Shallow smiled at her and continued to walk forward.
Every time Qianqian came out of her grandfather's house, what she was most afraid of was to meet the fool Zhang Hammer, but unfortunately Zhang Hammer was walking towards her step by step not far in front of her.
Asa wanted to turn around and go back, but he still walked forward in fear. Zhang Hammer's eyes were still wide, but he ignored Wang Qianqian this time and walked straight away.
It seems that yesterday's grandfather still shocked him, sighed shallowly, and put down his nervous calculations again.
In this nursing home, in addition to the fool Zhang Hammer, there is also a hard-working little bee, his name is Facai. Fa Cai's face is round, and he looks a little silly, but this name should be given to him by his parents, a very vulgar name, but this name looks so cute when applied to him.
Fa Cai is the youngest person in the nursing home, and all the chores in the nursing home are basically done by Fa Cai alone. In the past, the barren grassland in the factory area was basically reclaimed by him into a vegetable field, and he had a good impression of him, and he liked him very much.
Shallow walked out of the nursing home, passing by the family building where Grandpa Liu once lived, she saw Fa Cai standing in the vegetable field from a distance and busy watering, his existence was like a loyal volunteer in the nursing home. But he is not a volunteer, he is just a member of the nursing home, and he is a member of the family abandoned like those lonely old people. Many people have questioned why such a sensible and capable person as Fa Cai was sent to a nursing home at a young age, and no one can guess the answer.
The dean said something about Fa Cai, and he said that Fa Cai's parents didn't want him anymore, so they sent him to a nursing home. Every once in a while, there will be lonely elderly people in the nursing home, who have no one to treat their illnesses, and they are all paralyzed in bed waiting for death to come.
Qianqian glanced at Facai from a distance as he walked downhill, he smiled stupidly at Qianqian and continued to scoop the water in the bucket to water the vegetables, this was the task given to him by the dean, he had to finish the work in front of him.
"It's time to go to Lilin!" Thinking slowly, she walked towards her favorite residence. Along the way, the spring flowers are particularly bright, and bees and wasps fly leisurely everywhere.
She walked through rows of houses, walked through avenues, and finally came to Lilinju. This is the place where she lived when she was a child, she looked at the stone steps leading to the pear grove, the pomegranate tree next to it was already full of red flowers, she walked under the pomegranate tree, and the steps next to it were covered with green moss, and there were yellow leaves falling everywhere.
Well, a feeling that has not been seen for a long time, she squatted down and picked up a few red pomegranate flowers from the ground and put them on her nose and smelled them, they were fragrant. The bees fly around in the branches from time to time, and when they were young, they liked this pomegranate tree very much, and this time they came back, and when the pomegranate blossoms bloomed, they happily sat on the stone steps to pick up the pomegranate flowers on the ground.
She picked up the pomegranate flowers for a while, and always heard a long sigh from the next room. Shallow and frightened, is there a ghost inside? Is there a ghost during the day, about the house next door, she often dreams of ghosts in it at midnight, and she can't get out of this terrible dream in her dreams. A nightmare from last night was also in this room, could it be ...... dream? Shallow and panicked, he walked to the door next door step by step.
As soon as she walked to the door, there was a long sigh from inside, and this time her shallow heart was frightened to her throat, and she slammed open the hidden wooden door, and took two steps softly inside. In one of the rooms, an unkempt man sat dirty on the floor.
The people inside heard someone coming in, raised their lowered heads, and the moment they looked at each other, their shallow hearts gradually calmed down. This woman she knew, she was her mother's classmate, called Fairy Trail. Seeing that the person who came in was shallow, the fairy touched the bag of clothes beside him and asked shallow: "Shallow, where did you go to live?" I'm hungry......"
Shallow didn't answer her, but turned around and walked out. The Wizard is a madman, and has been crazy for many years. She was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and her mind was always confused.
Although she was a madman, and often hungry and full, she was white and fat, her clothes neatly folded in a bag, and a yellow bowl at her feet. This bowl is what she uses to get food.
Asa knows that she is waiting for her old classmate Junko, but Junko's family has already moved away.
When Qianqian walked out of the door, Xianji shouted inside: "Qianqian, where did your mother go, I peeled so much corn for your family, how can you ignore me?"
This woman is afraid that this matter, she remembers it most clearly. She had peeled corn for the shallow family, but she had peeled some of it. During the days when she lived here, she would show up on time with a bowl every time it was time to eat, and the enthusiastic shallow was always the first to serve her food. She has a big appetite and always eats a lot, but the enthusiastic Junko family has a beginning and an end for her.
Fairy and her mother are classmates, and after graduating from college, Fairy returned to the countryside to marry a rural man. Due to the cultural gap, the fairy is arrogant and looks down on her husband, so the two often quarrel. Her husband had no literacy, and often punched, kicked, and whipped her, and in the long run, this beautiful girl was tortured to the point of madness.
After she went mad, she was free. All day long, he carried his clothes and walked around, eating and drinking. And the child she gave birth to to the peasant, she occasionally misses and sometimes sads. Junko sympathized with her and gave her food when she came to her, which she took for granted.
Many times, she doesn't think she's a crazy person, she's like a normal person, her neatly folded clothes, her clean bowls. But sometimes she was unkempt and delirious, and she was a poor woman anyway.
The Fairy Trail can write a good handwriting when she is in her right mind, and she is shallow in her standard Mandarin and doubts about life. In the eyes of normal people, Junko is a madman, and she will be bullied and treated badly by the people in the village wherever she goes.
Sometimes when she was playing at the factory gate, the children under the mountain would pick up a stone and smash her wildly when they saw the fairy trail. I couldn't stand it, so I shouted at them. And the fairy will just stand there and curse motionlessly.
Junko considered that it was not a way for her to wander like this often, so she persuaded her when she was sober: "Find another man to marry, this kind of wandering is not a long way." Later, Junko contacted her mother's family, and her mother's family took her away. But it didn't take long for her to come silently with her clothes again, and Junko had no choice but to let her go.
Every time she comes, she stays with confidence, perhaps she likes the quiet environment and the shallow family.
But Shallow seems to have lost her enthusiasm and interest in her, she likes to help a poor person, but she doesn't like to help a poor person who is right.
When Qianqian walked out of this room, her heart was cold, and she thought: When will the fairy trail come again, why didn't her family take her away, why did she let her run around like this. Will she starve to death here? What to do? She thought about it a lot, and she was worried about the next time she came to ....... She didn't dare to think about it, but she was really worried. So she went to the Lilin residence with an indescribable feeling.
She walked down the stone steps with a heavy heart into the old house where she lived as a child. She went to sit quietly under the pear grove for a while, then turned a large road and went to the opposite side of the house to look at the little squirrels on the cliff. Her favorite thing when she was a child was these cute little squirrels, who jumped up and down the cliffs for many years, and the pine nuts in the woods were their food.
Seeing that the little squirrels were in a much better mood, she repacked her mood and left Lilinju. As she passed by the old house, the voice of the fairy came from inside: "Shallow, I'm hungry, where is your mother?"
After hearing this, his heart trembled, and he walked over quietly and silently. She had treated this poor aunt with some enthusiasm, but she could not help her for the rest of her life, and she hoped that her family would be found, or that she would marry a loyal man to take care of her for the rest of her life, and if that she would be relieved.
After returning to his grandfather's house, he told his grandmother about the fairy trail he met in Lilinju. Grandma said, "Her family has been here a few times, but she insists on staying in that house. ……”
After hearing this, she was helpless, and after eating at noon, she went back to her home in the city early.
