The blind woman lives alone, and the children usually don't come except for the New Year. Usually if you come, there will be something, either the granddaughter wants to buy a piano, or the car is broken and there is no money to repair it.

At the end of the year, I can come to have a reunion dinner, the daughter-in-law cooks, the daughter washes the dishes, and the grandchildren gather around him, which can be regarded as a happy and enjoyable meal. The blind woman is frugal, and her savings for a year are used on this day, buying a few good dishes, getting a few boxes of snacks, and wrapping a big red envelope for her grandchildren.

Although she knew that they were all worried about her house, if they didn't have a house, maybe they wouldn't come back for the New Year. But she is still happy, and she still willingly goes out every day to pick up rags, saving money and waiting for this day every year.

The blind woman also had a cat. After her children moved out, she lived with her cat.

She picks up trash every day, and when she goes out, her cat stays at home. For so many years, the house is full of garbage, but there has never been a rat.

Although the blind woman is old, she has a good memory. I picked up a few bottles today, and a few pounds of cardboard are very clear in my heart. Sometimes one night passes, and there will be a few more waste bottles on the ground, and the blind woman will know that they are from the cat.

The cat doesn't want to eat well, the blind woman eats whatever she eats, and she mixes it with some fish soup and vegetable soup and rice, and it also eats very fragrantly.

When the cat is old, it no longer runs around and lies quietly every day.

Her son came back a while ago. Usually, in September and October, the children never come to the door, because at that time, most of the blind women are the poorest time, and the money is spent on the summer vacation of the grandchildren. Even if there is a little surplus food, it is necessary to keep the New Year's flowers. At this time, it was really strange for my son to come to the door.

The blind woman asked, "What's wrong?" Did you lose the gambling money, and your daughter-in-law won't let you in? She knew that her son was a good gambler, and he had the same virtue as her dead old man, and he couldn't manage it well, and he couldn't scold him back.

The son said, "No." ”

The blind woman was surprised: "What's wrong with that?" ”

The son asked, "What about the cat?" ”

The blind woman said, "The cat bothers you, what are you doing with it?" ”

The son said, "Call the cat and tell me to take it away." ”

The blind woman was unhappy: "You are not the son of man, I will rely on it as a companion, and if you take it away, how can I live?" ”

The son walked away in a huff.

The next day, my daughter came.

The daughter said, "Mom, what about the cat?" ”

The blind woman felt that something was wrong and asked, "What are you doing with the cat?" ”

The daughter said, "Lily wants to have a cat, so take your cat and give it to her." ”

Lily is the daughter of her daughter, the niece of the blind woman. If her niece really likes it, she is willing to do it, but she knows that Lily doesn't like cats, and every time she sees cats in the New Year, she is dirty and hides away.

The blind woman said, "This cat is old, and it is difficult to walk." You can buy Lily a kitten, it won't cost a few bucks. ”

The daughter also left in a huff.

The blind woman didn't know about the cat killing order at that time, and the old community where she lived was full of old people, and the news was much behind that of other places. Later, there was a commotion in the community, and people killed cats every day, and some people cried every day. She saw stray cats gathered around the garbage cans one by one being ensnared and killed with food and nets, and she also took videos.

The old neighbor persuaded her to kill the cat, she was dying of old age anyway, and she could get a thousand dollars for killing a cat. She didn't understand why she had to kill it in exchange for money, and this cat meat wasn't delicious, was it?

The blind woman treats the cat as a friend, and of course she is reluctant to kill the cat, so she protects the cat at home and does not let it go out. The cat barks all day long in the house, and it can't sleep well, like a nightmare for people.

Finally, one day everyone came to her door, saying that the cat was poisonous and asked her to hand it over. The blind woman has raised cats for half her life, and she can't figure out why cats are poisonous? If she doesn't allow it, people will rush in and catch the cat.

At this time, her son and daughter came, and the old lady quarreled with the neighbors, saying that the cat was her own cat, and if she wanted to kill it, her own family would kill it, and it would not be the turn of outsiders. And the neighborhood was scattered.

The blind woman thought, in the end, she was born, and she came to help herself at a critical time. But I didn't expect that as soon as the outsiders left, the son and daughter quarreled over who would kill the cat, and the quarrel was more intense than when they quarreled with outsiders just now.

The cat hid in the old lady's arms, her eyes open and trembling with frightened eyes. The blind woman said that you want to kill you, even me.

The daughter persuaded her: "Mom, are you there? Give me the cat, I'll buy you a dog. ”

The son took the opportunity to snatch the cat and ran away. The daughter cried out to her brother. The blind woman fainted in anger, lay on the cold ground all night, and when she woke up, she was cold and hungry, and when she saw the half bowl of cat food left by the wall, she cried and stuffed it into her mouth.

The rain was pouring down, and there was no sign of stopping. The blind woman walked towards the house with the snakeskin bag on her back, and she knew that the little one in the snakeskin bag needed food and fire most now. Maybe I'll be able to live! She thought.

There was a "croak" cry behind him. The blind woman was startled, stumbled under her feet, and almost fell.

A bolt of lightning split the dark night, and the blind woman looked back to see a big crow flying up from the garbage can, rushing into the rainstorm, and croaking away.

The lightning went out, and the night fell into deep darkness again.

The Ruhua Bar in Liuying Lane is still open, and the two-storey three-bay façade is much more spacious than the small bars in the past, but today's heavy rain makes the business look a little deserted.

Mo Yu held the guitar and sang a soothing serenade on the stage, and Xiao Qi sat in the bartender's position in the bar, gossiping with the old customers.

Bi Shenghua handed over the things in the store to Xiao Qi and Mo Yu, and she would only go to the top shift on weekends or when she was particularly busy, as if she had the posture of a real boss. However, the signboard of Ruhua Bar is still her, and many people miss the wine made by Young Master Hua in Liuying Lane back then, and they want to take a sip and take a look at the heroic appearance of the woman who can chase the hooligans to the police station with a knife. So when she was there, business was very good.

Today, the rain was heavy and there were few guests, so Bishenghua went upstairs to help Aoki tidy up the room. If you don't take care of this strange place for a day, it will become incredible. But what Bishenghua didn't understand was that the room where Aoki slept was always clean and spotless, even if she didn't help him clean it for a month, the feather duster couldn't get a little dust.

Aoki stood at the window with a cigarette in his mouth, watching the heavy rain outside the window, letting the rain drift in and fall on him.

"Turn it off, look at your smoke!"

Bi Shenghua was about to close the window, when suddenly a black shadow flew in like lightning, landed on the shelf, shook his body, and croaked twice.

"Ah, you're finally back!" Bishenghua went to get a hair dryer, and while drying the crows, he said, "I thought you were dead!" ”

"I mobilized all my brothers in the city to look for him, and today it was reported that he was hiding in the reeds by the river in the outer city, and I thought he was fishing for a living! As a result, he said that he went to the nearby trash can to rummage through things and eat at night, what a poor guy! I went over and looked around, but I didn't see it, the rain was too heavy, I'll go and see it tomorrow. ”

The crow waited for the feathers on his body to dry, and lay down comfortably on the couch, "Hey, where's my elbow?" ”

Bi Shenghua took the food box that had been prepared a long time ago: "I know how to eat, why don't I eat you to death!" ”
