【Chapter 232】Strange compatriots
The eldest sister walked in from outside the door, because Su Wenruo had helped watch the store in the past two days, and the eldest sister could take the time to deliver food to some elderly men and ladies nearby who were unwilling to go to the nursing home, and as soon as she entered the door, she found that Su Wenruo and her baby daughter did not look normal.
"What's wrong with you? Having trouble? ”
The little fairy didn't dare to speak, for fear that her mother would say that she was harassing other sisters.
Su Wenruo was still pondering, I don't know why, I always felt that in addition to the feelings of compatriots in the motherland, the girl opposite had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
I couldn't help but want to ask the eldest sister: "On the other side are our compatriots in the motherland, are you familiar with them, eldest sister?" ”
The eldest sister glanced at the opposite side, shook her head and said: "That clinic only opened some time ago, I went once to help you buy medicine, there are many Chinese who see a doctor there, the doctor is very busy, I haven't talked to it, if it is not to see a doctor, I want to chat with their house to relieve boredom, about can't spare time." ”
There are only two clinics in the town, and one of them is across the street, so it's understandable to be busy.
At night, the town becomes very quiet, there is very little traffic on the street, the shops on the street usually close at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the shopkeepers will only look for some fun in buying and selling when they have time, they will not spend time to support their families day and night, but will spend time with their families.
This town gives her the feeling that the house is not closed at night, the small courtyard door behind the eldest sister's house is not closed all the year round, and it can be directly connected to the house, and the pickup truck is parked in the courtyard, living sundries, tools, and even a few geese raised by the eldest sister, never lose the things here.
If you are hungry in the middle of the night and want to eat, you may not find a store that can sell food in the whole street in the rural town, and those 24-hour convenience stores and fast food restaurants can only be found in the bustling urban area in the middle of the night.
Su Wenruo felt that she was very lucky, because of the quiet of the town, she was able to hide here safely.
She would always toss and turn in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep because of too many things on her mind.
I got up and went to the window, and looked at the clear moonlight in the sky outside from the second floor, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, only the whole street was watching each other every few meters by street lamps, and I felt more and more lonely.
Although the clinic opposite was closed, the lights were still on inside, and the eldest sister said that the clinic was busy, and that was indeed the case.
People who are sick don't pick the time, and the clinic is no better than other shops that do business.
It's just that a question suddenly flashed in my mind, this quiet town has a small population, and there are only a handful of Chinese, why can the clinic be so busy, and there will be so many Chinese to see a doctor there?
If a Chinese medicine clinic that has not been open for a long time has such a reputation that can attract Chinese from neighboring towns, this is obviously an exaggeration.
But if the doctor in the clinic has a wide network and knows many fellow villagers, and they have to come here to see a doctor from afar, there is still this possibility, after all, many chronic diseases that Western medicine is helpless can be cured with traditional Chinese medicine, and the health of Chinese medicine is also very particular, the eldest sister said that on weekdays, I see the surrounding Chinese expectant mothers like to come here to find this doctor from China to regulate the body.
The clinic opposite illuminated the light of a small area, and with a "squeak", the door of the clinic opened from the inside, and the light radiated from the door on the side of the road, which turned out to be a man and a woman who went to the clinic in the middle of the night to see a doctor, and it seemed that they should be husband and wife.
The wife, with her bulging belly, looked like she had been very old, and walked in with her arm by the man's arm, although she could not see the happy look on their faces, judging from the intimacy of snuggling up to each other, they were a very loving couple.
Soon after the couple entered the clinic, the lights in the clinic were turned off a lot, leaving only a faint light, and the couple did not come out again.
was fed a mouthful of dog food by the loving couple who left, she was very envious of others who could have a happy life, she originally had it, but her time was too short to continue to feel happy.
She even thinks that she hasn't died until now, because she knows that there are still too many people in this world who she cares about, too much nostalgia, too much unwillingness, and she knows that she is going to be taken away by God, but she still wants to be secretly attached to it alone, hoping that she can live a little longer.
The night breeze gently stroked her cheeks, brought up her long hair, and the people outside fell asleep, and the surroundings were quieter, and she felt that she should also sleep, she didn't want to sleep in the morning, so when the eldest sister went to pick vegetables, she would not be able to catch up.
The moment I turned around, I squinted at the corner of my eye and saw that there seemed to be something shaking on the second floor opposite, and I turned my head to look carefully, but it didn't seem to be there, and the clinic opposite had turned off the lights and closed, and I couldn't see anything, if it weren't for the moonlight and the street lights in the distance, the whole street might be dark.
It could be that the wind had blown something and a little shadow had swayed in the moonlight, or it could have been that she was dazzled because it was dark and quiet on the other side, and there was really nothing.
Although she didn't get enough sleep, she still got up early in the morning, washed up and went downstairs, came to the back yard, and waited for the eldest sister to go to the field to pick vegetables, the eldest sister took her hat and came down from the upper floor, and said to her: "Sister, you don't have to go to the field with me today, I can do it alone, the baby doesn't go to school today, you play at home, I'll be back soon." ”
The eldest sister has a very regular life, going to the field in the morning, coming back in an hour or two, and before noon, the neighbors will come to buy the day's fresh vegetables, just in time to make lunch.
Su Wenruo led the little fairy to open the store, the shelves were empty, because the eldest sister didn't pick up many vegetables every day, and they would basically be sold out, if there was a little left, they would also be given to the neighbors before closing at night, and there were never overnight vegetables.
"Anyone?" A man's voice.
A customer entered the store but did not see the owner come out to greet him, apparently the customer knew that the owner was a Chinese woman.
Su Wenruo took the little fairy in the backyard, and only came out when she heard the voice, the little fairy ran faster, slipped a cigarette to the store, and asked in a delicate voice: "Uncle, are you here to buy vegetables?" My mom hasn't come back yet. ”
The man bowed his head and asked the little fairy, "When will there be?" ”
Su Wenruo walked out of it: "I'll be back around ten o'clock, or you will come back later." ”
The man hesitated and said, "I may not be able to leave, if you have time, you can help me get to the back door of the clinic opposite, take some fresh fruits and vegetables, we have more than a dozen people to eat today." ”
Su Wenruo agreed, the eldest sister often went out to deliver food to the elderly when she was free, not to mention that the clinic opposite was so close, it was only a matter of a few steps, she said enthusiastically: "Are you the doctor of the clinic opposite?" Nice to meet you, I am also Chinese. ”
I didn't want the man to shake his head, and without speaking, he walked out of the store and crossed the road into the clinic opposite.
is a little embarrassed, I wanted to get close to my compatriots in the motherland, but I didn't think that people didn't want to get close, and the other party was a customer, and she was obviously not a qualified salesperson when she asked customers personal questions.
The eldest sister drove the pickup truck back to the backyard at ten o'clock, and the little fairy hurriedly went to report to her mother, saying that the customers were in a hurry!
Su Wenruo helped to move the vegetables from the car and picked up some of each, and the eldest sister was still busy, so she volunteered to deliver the vegetables to the clinic opposite with the little fairy.
Loaded with a basket, two people, one big and one small, dragged across the street, bypassed the clinic gate, dragged in the alley, and knocked on an iron door, which should be the back door of the kitchen of this clinic, because a thick smoke exhaust pipe can be seen here.
The door was opened by a Chinese man, but not the one who came in the morning.
Su Wenruo moved the basket to the threshold: "Hello, I'm here to deliver food to you, the doctor from your clinic will order it in the morning, are these enough?" ”
The man nodded expressionlessly: "Enough, how much?" ”
Su Wenruo remembered it and didn't ask the eldest sister about the price, because the vegetables were picked up and put into the basket directly after she was removed from the pickup truck, and she didn't even weigh it, this way of doing business was embarrassing!
The little fairy is clever: "My mother said that this is a vegetable grown by herself, you can give it as you like." ”
The man was generous, took out a hundred dollars and gave it to the little fairy, and without waiting for Su Wenruo to say thank you, he actually closed the door!
Su Wenruo and the little fairy looked at each other in a daze, thinking that they had said something wrong and made the customer unhappy, and the little fairy also asked, "Auntie, is he angry?" ”
Su Wenruo helplessly lifted the basket with one hand and pulled the little fairy with the other: "Auntie doesn't know either!" ”
The two were about to leave, when suddenly their eyes flickered, and a fist-sized white thing fell lightly from the top of their heads and fell to the ground, Su Wenruo looked at it, and there was a crumpled tissue on the ground.
Cold sweat broke out, I couldn't imagine that such a clean street, there would be high-altitude throwing objects, fortunately it was a paper towel, replaced with other hard objects, didn't you want to stone people to death?
Su Wenruo looked up, a small head on the second floor shrank in, and the highest one here was also on the second floor, obviously the little head was thrown down just now.
She felt that the people in this clinic were very weird, and she pulled the little fairy and wanted to go back quickly, but the little fairy looked back at the second floor above, and whispered: "Auntie, I saw the little sister!" ”
Su Wenruo pulled the little fairy across the road quickly, and only when she returned to the store did she say: "That must be the paper towel thrown by the young lady, don't learn from her, it's not right to litter without caring for the environment." ”
The little fairy seemed to be thinking about the problem very seriously, and after thinking for a long time, she said with certainty: "I saw the little sister crying!" ”
A little girl was always crying silently from the window on the second floor, and she didn't know what happened to the child's parents.
Not to mention abusing children, even if they ignore children without keeping their eyes firmly on them, they are committing a crime, as long as the police know about it, they will take the children away and deprive their parents of lifelong guardianship, doesn't this newly relocated Chinese family understand?
Not!
The eldest sister was still cleaning up in the back yard, and the little fairy took off Su Wenruo's hand and ran to the back, and whispered to her mother: "Mom, the young lady upstairs in the clinic opposite is crying alone every day." ”
The eldest sister was very surprised when she heard this, and without saying a word, she took out her mobile phone and called the police, telling the police in English that she suspected that the parents in the opposite clinic were abusing children!
Su Wenruo was dumbfounded when he heard it!
Just called the police?
