Taking advantage of the fact that the dean was called away by the nurse, Yu Youwei opened the cabinet and took a quick look, there were only a few clothes in it, if it wasn't for the regular change of children and daughters, there would be only two or three sets of clothes to change every quarter.

On the bed, there is a simple small table that can only be used in rental houses, and there is a very old style of teacup on it, which seems to be the dinner table of the old people.

Such a humble little room, like a cage, trapped the last ten years of the old man's life.

Thinking of this, Yu You was a little sad, she didn't know the life experience of this old woman, but it must be a little unsatisfactory to be able to live in this environment for ten years.

"It just so happened that you came, and there was a former neighbor of Granny Wang who also wanted to live in her room, so she cleaned it up so that the old neighbor could continue to live there." The dean's voice was very loud, and it could be heard clearly from the other end of the corridor, probably every day with these old people who were over the age of old, and he was used to saying every word loudly.

When Yu Youwei and Liang Yuan heard the dean's voice, they hurriedly withdrew their exploratory gaze and pretended to look at the layout of the room.

After a while, the dean entered the room with a woman, and the small room was filled with four adults, and it seemed more and more cramped, and several people did not even have room to turn around.

The woman looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a very common old age dress on the market, a long coat and trousers, and seemed to be wearing several layers, her hair was a little unkempt, and her eyes were a little red and swollen.

"Two, this is Granny Wang's eldest daughter, Li Lihua." The dean enthusiastically introduced, "These two are mother-in-law's former neighbors, I don't know if you know each other." ”

Before Yu Youwei and Liang Yuan could find an excuse to prevaricate, Li Lihua took the lead in opening her mouth, "You live in Qingheyuan, my mother and little sister lived there with my brother and sister-in-law at the time, I haven't been to that community, forgive me." ”

"No, no, it's my grandmother who lives in Qingheyuan, she misses Granny Li very much recently, the two of them used to talk a lot, grandma heard that Granny Li lives here, and wants to live together, and the two of them can be companions." Yu You said in a hurry.

Li Lihua pulled out a smile, there was no smile in her eyes, only the corners of her mouth twitched in her facial muscles, and she could see that her mother's death hit her hard, "It's a pity, if it could have been earlier, my mother would have been happier before leaving." ”

Li Lihua's words made Yu Youwei feel very sad, and she now wants to know what kind of life this seemingly kind old woman lived during her lifetime.

"Then, let's wait for you outside, let's find a place to talk about Granny Li, okay? Grandma is old and knows that we are coming to see Granny Li today, and has been waiting for us to go back and tell her about Granny Li's current situation. ”

After speaking, Yu You was a little apprehensive, feeling that her request was a little offensive, but she had to mention it, only in this way could she find out how Granny Li wanted her to save her son.

Surprisingly, Li Lihua agreed very happily without a trace of hesitation.

So, Yu Youwei and Liang Yuan said goodbye to the dean, made an appointment to talk in detail next time, and went downstairs to wait for Li Lihua to come out. The hall of the nursing home is very dark, obviously it is the scorching sun outside, but there seems to be some barrier between the heat wave and this building, no matter how the heat wave rolls recklessly, but it cannot penetrate the old building at all.

Yu Youwei, who was wearing a short skirt, waited for about ten minutes, but he couldn't stand the cold, so he could only go outside to get warm. As soon as she walked out of the nursing home, she instantly came from the ice cellar to the fire cage, and after only half an hour in the nursing home, she almost forgot how hot it was today. Yu You couldn't help but be a little curious, and deliberately walked a few steps away to observe the architectural style of this building, its appearance looked very ordinary, and no one could see that it was so gloomy inside.

When Yu You raised his hand slightly to block the dazzling sunlight and looked for the window of Wang Xiuqin's room, Liang Yuan helped Li Lihua out of the hall of the nursing home, and it seemed that Li Lihua's physical condition was not very good.

Yu You hurriedly stepped up to support Li Lihua's other arm, "Auntie, you have to take care of your body, Granny Wang's death at this age can be regarded as a happy funeral, don't worry too much and affect your body." ”

Li Lihua smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I'm fine, I've always had this problem." As he spoke, he took Yu Youwei's hand, "Girl, you two want to eat something, Auntie invites you." ”

Yu Youwei held Li Lihua's hand with his backhand, "Auntie, how can I let you have a treat, we are two people, even if it is calculated according to the head, we eat a lot, and it is natural for us to invite you." ”

Liang Yuan told the two, "I just saw a Hangzhou cuisine with a good rating, Auntie should like this kind of small and light taste, I'll pick up the car, don't get it, go wait for me inside." With that, he trotted to the parking lot to pick up the car.

Yu Youwei saw that Li Lihua was wearing a lot more clothes than herself, and was also worried that she would suffer from heat stroke when she stood in the sun and waited, after all, she didn't look very well, so she echoed and said, "Auntie, should we go inside and wait?" ”

Li Lihua shook her head slowly and smiled bitterly, "No, that building." She raised her hand as she said and pointed to the old building of the nursing home, "It's cold and cold inside, every time I come in, I feel like this building and the outside are two worlds, my mother has lived in this place for ten years." ”

Looking at her very painful appearance, Yu Youwei felt very puzzled, if she felt sorry for her mother, why did she have to let Wang Xiuqin live in a nursing home?

Thinking of this, Yu Youwei began to take a closer look at Li Lihua's dress, her clothes were a little white, and the version of the material was not good. However, Yu Youwei knows very well that for an old man of this age, he can't judge people by his appearance, maybe a person with a broken slipper will own a building of real estate, and her family situation will still be understood through chat after a while.

Finally, sitting in the restaurant, Li Lihua was still polite and refused to order, so Liang Yuan made the decision and ordered a three-person set meal.

While waiting, Li Lihua hung her head and didn't say a word. Yu You glanced at Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan understood, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Li Lihua, "Auntie, drink a glass of water first." ”

Li Lihua took the water cup and thanked her, and Liang Yuan took the opportunity to open the conversation, "Auntie, I see that you haven't been feeling well recently?" ”

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just that the lumbar spine is not very good, and when I get busy, I will have back pain, since I heard the news of my mother's death, I haven't rested much, and I have back pain, and if it's not in the way, it's good to rest after a while." Li Lihua's voice was slow and hoarse, and it seemed that sitting here for a moment reminded her of a lot of sad pasts.

"Auntie, you have to pay attention to your body, Granny Li's death can't be changed, don't overwork, and get sick, then how sad Granny Li should be." Yu Youwei said very sincerely, she really didn't want to see the gray-haired woman in front of her so sad.

It was a comforting word, but it seemed to touch Li Lihua's sadness, and her tears fell down.

"My mother is a woman with a hard life, since your grandmother also lives in Qingheyuan, I must have heard of it, the relationship between my mother and my sister-in-law was not very harmonious at the beginning, and later it was almost incompatible.

When I was fifteen years old, my father died, and in those days, a woman with four children was a difficult life that you can't imagine. Many people persuaded her to remarry, but she was worried that her stepfather would treat us badly after remarrying, so she insisted on raising our four children by herself. My brother reads well, she smashed the pot and sold iron for my brother to study, and finally read and read, worked, my brother is going to marry a daughter-in-law again, she sold the old house, bought a new house for my brother, not enough money, I and my second sister also took out the money earned by working to make up for it, but there is an old saying, marry a daughter-in-law and forget his mother, my brother is like this.

My sister-in-law is stronger, she can't be worse than others everywhere, when my mother took the third sister to live with them, her health was not very good, and she couldn't do much housework at my brother and sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law didn't want to live with my mother and my third sister for a long time, and she loves face, relatives and friends know how much my mother has paid for my brother, if she can't find a reason, she will kick my mother out, and she will be poked in the back in the future. Later, my third sister accidentally broke one of her bottles of perfume, and she turned over the old and new grudges, and packed up my mother and my third sister's things that day, and kicked them out of the door. ”

Li Lihua seemed to have accumulated a lot of words in her heart, and she kept talking.

"It's okay for me and my second sister to marry, but it's not the family that has the final say, a large family lives under one roof, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps, and after a long time, there are more and more contradictions. But my mother still endured it for the sake of the third sister, she was such a strong person, so she lived in cold words for several years, until the third sister went to college, the third sister just went to report, and the next day she lived in a nursing home by herself.

You have also seen the nursing home, and the conditions are like that, every time I visit my mother and come back, I can't help but cry secretly. It's that I don't have the ability to be the master at home, and my daughter and my husband don't want me to take my mother out, and I can't resist them. ”

As she spoke, Li Lihua picked up the tissue on the table and wiped her tears, "I know that my mother likes my eldest brother the most, he has good grades, works well, and even cultivates his children very well." She has been looking forward to my eldest brother being tough at home once and taking her back, in fact, how many days are left for her, we have a few children in our hearts, but my eldest brother, if he is more resolute, how can he not take his mother home, just afraid that his sister-in-law will be angry, between his sister-in-law and his mother, he has never chosen his mother. ”

After saying so many words in one breath, Li Lihua seemed to be tired, picked up the hot water poured by Liang Yuan, and drank it in small sips, her hands seemed to be very cold, and the fingers holding the cup were not bloody at all.
