This proposal was really a bit unexpected, she knew that the residents of the old neighborhood were very close to each other, but she had been living in the building since she could remember, and she had no impression of the family living in a bungalow before she could remember, and she could only listen to what her parents said

In addition, in the memory of the previous life, people's neighborly relationships are more unfamiliar, and the wariness between strangers is extremely strong

As for a few years ago, when he and Wu Zerong made a map of the old buildings of Jinling City, although they were also invited by some old people to go to their homes to rest, it was after they had been there many times and became familiar with each other

Are you not familiar with it, those old people almost checked the eight generations of their ancestors

What's more, they only have a few words with this old lady now, not to mention the close relationship between the neighbors and the neighbors, and she is not afraid of them as a group of liars

The sudden enthusiasm made An Ran, a person with memories of her previous life, can't help but have a faint doubt, and she turned her head to look at her parents and Jiang Jieyun, the three profiteers, to ask for their opinions

An Guoqing and Li Caifeng obviously didn't expect the old lady to be so enthusiastic that they would take strangers home, and they hesitated for a while

Jiang Jieyun's three guys were not polite, pretending to be pretending to be at the same time, and nodded secretly to An Ran

An Ran, who had no breath, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in the face of people's hearts and sinister people, she couldn't trust her loyal and kind father and mother, but Jiang Jieyun and the three of them profiteers were all human sperm, as the saying goes, sticky hair is a monkey, if there is something wrong, there are them

The old lady also seemed to see their concerns, and smiled: "Alas, I am a lonely old lady, and I have nothing at home, and I am afraid that you will steal things."

Speaking of which, it's a little embarrassing not to go in and sit down

The small yard is not big, but it is very neatly tied, a corner is planted with an old tree, the leaves are all lost in winter, with An Ran's shallow knowledge of plants, I can't tell what kind of tree it is, two low shrubs are planted around the tree, a red brick path leads to the other corner of the house opposite the big tree, a small shed like a barn is built, and there is not much space left

The house is old, but the windows are polished brightly, and there are window grilles cut out of red paper, and its content and style do not look like they are sold on the market

There was a thick cotton curtain hanging on the house, and although the old lady was not small, her movements were very neat, she walked in front, lifted the curtain and walked in, and they followed honestly behind them

The old-fashioned bungalow lacks lighting, especially in winter, it is mainly to keep warm, from the bright outdoors to the interior at first glance, the eyes have a moment of discomfort, which makes An Ran almost not see the function of the room that enters the door, and at a glance, it seems to be a combination of kitchen and dining room, and he has no time to look more, so he followed the old lady into the room on the left, and the light suddenly lit up

In front of the window is the traditional fire kang, the two ends of the kang are placed against the wall, the old-fashioned kang cabinet is placed in the middle of the kang, there is a small wooden kang table with black lacquer, there are several plates of peanuts and candies and candy on the kang table, and there are many pots of flowers and plants raised in front of the window, it can be seen that the two red geraniums are in full bloom, a big cat with a tiger skin that can be called fat is lying on the corner of the kang and sleeping soundly

The old lady invited them to sit on the kang and hurriedly took out the tea caddy from the kang cabinet, grabbed the tea leaves in the teapot, and carried the warm pot next to it to make tea

The three members of the An family almost couldn't react to the old lady's enthusiasm, they took off their shoes and put them on the kang, but Jiang Jieyun, those three guys were thick-skinned, and they didn't see restraint at all, let them take off their shoes, let them go to the kang, let them eat peanuts, and they didn't see it at all

If there is a relaxed one, it is easy to drive the others, and besides, they are not one, but three, and the An family, after all, are all mature adults, and An Ran is still a reborn person with tender skin

The water in the kettle was probably freshly boiled, and after a while, the tea was brewed, and the tea was poured and the water was drunk and something to eat, and the box was opened

An Ran slowly felt that he had found the reason why this old man was so enthusiastic

This is a lonely old man

The old lady was very talkative, and she didn't wait for An Ran, how they talked, and told her situation cleanly

According to the old man, she originally had children and daughters, but in a car accident, two children who had just become adults died, leaving her and her wife two years ago also died of illness, and she was the only one left in the family, alone with the old cat

An Ran's family listened a little sympathetic, but they didn't know how to comfort her, and when they looked at the old lady when she said this, the expression on her face was also very calm, and she didn't see the slightest Qi Rong, probably for those life and death, and the pain was already deep, and now she just accepted the arrangement of fate indifferently

In this case, it is even more difficult for them to speak, and all they can do is listen to her quietly and respond from time to time

In fact, if you think about it, all the old man wants is someone to be able to talk to her quietly

When Pingshui meets, they can't do it, listen to the old man with a pair of ears, and then come out with a mouth to chat with the old man, which is also a kind of fate

It's very lonely to be alone in such an empty home

Originally, I looked at the beautiful fish flags in front of the door, the handwritten couplets, and the window flowers cut on the window, and thought that this was an old man who liked to do handicrafts, but now I think about it, maybe those needlework and handwriting are not only hobbies, but also deep loneliness

As if he knew what An Ran was thinking, the old man continued to mutter, saying that he didn't feel so lonely when he lived alone for a long time, and the neighbors came to pay his respects in the morning, and they were all old neighbors for many years, and they usually took care of her for everything

It can be seen that the old lady is not reluctant to say this, and her eyebrows and eyes are not gloomy: "Everyone has their own fate, others have children, daughters, and wives, but there are many things to worry about, except for this old cat, I only need to worry about myself, and I have become the fairest of God."

An Guoqing and Li Caifeng naturally followed the old lady's words, but it is not that you are old, this is right, everyone has their own blessings, and the most rare thing for people is to cherish blessings

The old lady was happy when she heard this, saying this, I love to listen, I don't love others, pity me, I can't be pitiful at any time, the more I think about myself, the more pitiful I am, the more pitiful I live, the more narrow the horns of the bull, the longer the time is long, people themselves will be boiled up, and they have to learn to have fun for themselves

An Ran kept restraining herself when she said this, trying not to touch her hands to the small notebook and pen in her coat pocket, but she couldn't help it, as soon as she heard something that felt reasonable, she wanted to write them down and collect them in her small basket, and slowly play with them when she went back

But in the face of the old man, she is still a little more subtle

She also knew that her problem was not small, and she was afraid that she would take out her notebook so suddenly and scare the old lady

"You can't be pitiful at any time, the more you are pitiful, the more you are pitiful, the more pitiful you are, the more you are pitiful, the narrower and narrower you are", "You have to learn to have fun for yourself"

An Ran gently stroked his notebook with his fingers while silently repeating these two sentences in his heart

In the previous interactions with the elderly, An Ran found that some of the old people's casual words sounded like usual, but when they tasted it carefully, it had a long aftertaste, just like green tea when it was in the mouth, it was flat and slightly astringent, and it rolled on the tip of the tongue a few times before it brought out a burst of sweetness

These words seem to be unpretentious, but in Enron's view, sometimes they are more powerful than philosophers and literati, philosophers and literati say that they are indeed more profound, and they are full of spring and snow, but these old people say that their own life experience is accumulated by countless experiences and tempering, with more power and flavor of life, more amiable and approachable, and more practical and operable

Just like the old lady, these words seem to be ordinary, if you talk about it for another person, An Ran will feel that it is not painful or itchy, everyone will say, but the person who can really live the truth has not had a few children and daughters, and her wife died, only she is alone with an old cat to live, think about people's hearts will also be discouraged, but she herself still lives with taste, optimistic and cheerful, and can deeply feel the perseverance and strength contained in these words, although it is in the twilight of life, but the wind does not fall, the snow does not crush, and the vitality is vibrant

An Ran asked herself if she really lived to this extent if she had changed

No matter what the circumstances, they grow towards the sun, no matter when they don't give up on themselves, and set their sights on a broader place

She didn't know

She wished she could

When it comes to having fun, this topic turns to a daily hobby

The old lady's hobbies are quite rich, she loves to raise flowers, loves to raise cats, and while she was talking, the old cat woke up and ran into the old lady's arms, and the old lady touched its head, and asked it Nini, did you wake up, did you sleep well?

It turned out that the cat's name was Nini, like a little girl's name, and the old lady's attitude towards it was indeed like treating a delicate little girl

Holding the old cat, the old lady continued to take stock of her hobbies, in addition to raising flowers and cats, she also likes to twist the big Yangge, and the old man and the old lady here formed an elderly Yangge team, and there is a little famous in this area, and she will go to the Dragon King Temple tonight
