Chapter 173: Surprise
The rain didn't stop. The sky was gloomy, and the air was full of damp marks. In the hospital, the smell of dampness mixed with disinfectant water weighed down the breath.
Susan withdrew her gaze and sat back on the edge of the bed, the sound on the instrument was ticking, and Grandma was asleep, sleeping peacefully.
In fact, don't be too sad, my grandmother is more than ninety, and she has been suffering from illness for a long time, and leaving is a relief.
It's just — she never knew how to say goodbye. She left the big demon king behind some time ago, also because she was distracted from taking care of her grandmother, and she couldn't think of many things.
Susan sat down in her chair and took out the manuscript. Yesterday, Li Qingning sent over the manuscript of this "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store".
Now Liu Tao is focused on reasoning, and Xu Guangzheng is busy with the promotion of "The Little Prince", and she effortlessly won the manuscript of the book.
Susan decided to proofread the manuscript herself. Actually, she admits that Jiang Yang's writing is good, but there are really too many typos.
She mentioned it euphemistically to Li Qingning. Li Qingning smiled, she said that asking Jiang Yang to check the typo was like asking him to find the key, obviously the typo was in front of him, he just couldn't see it.
Jiang Yang said that when he was a child, he checked the dictation, the first one was written, and the last one was handed in, just because he knew that there was this problem, and he buckled word by word, and now he has a psychological shadow.
However, Li Qingning said that she had read the manuscript and some typos had been corrected. Susan flipped through. At the back of the book, there is a line that reads: "My reply is not that I think I can change someone's life, but that I hope that the person who receives my letter will be happy." That's it, that's it. This line of words is the understanding that Jiang Yang got on the lines after watching the movie, and wrote it down easily.
"It's faith again." Susan said softly that her grandmother had suddenly said that she was going to write a letter the other day, and she had prepared a pen and paper and kicked them out.
When she returned, her grandmother gave her the letter and opened it when she was gone. There is also Jiang Yang, whose first work was about letters, and is now known as the Bible of Readers.
But – it's a really well written sentence, especially when reading it in hazy weather. She flipped through the back, and the first one was the story of the moon rabbit delivering a letter, which was very fascinating at the beginning, three young men who committed crimes hid in an abandoned house, and then suddenly someone who couldn't see threw a letter into the abandoned grocery store - at the beginning, it cast a layer of mystery over the story, and even a little scary.
It's very gripping. The story is also well-paced. After seeing three young people in 2012 receive a letter from the Moon Rabbit who was going to participate in the 1980 Olympics, the story suddenly became fantastical and exciting.
"Shura Warrior God"
"Tsk!" Susan has a slight problem with her tongue flicking when she sees something wonderful. She loved the book.
Maybe it's because she is experiencing such a painful thing as illness, when she sees someone helping each other, Susan's heart is very warm, and she feels that in this wet and cold weather, there is a warm current slowly flowing out of her heart.
It was quiet in the ward. There was a half-pulled glass on the door of the ward, and she could see people coming and going outside, she was reading quietly, and when she saw the moon rabbit, she found that she wanted to escape everything because she couldn't bear the pressure of the Olympics, and it happened that her lover was seriously ill, which became an excuse for her to escape - Susan felt that Jiang Yang was really powerful.
She thought this was the story of Moon Rabbit choosing between her Olympic dream and her seriously ill lover and seeking counseling.
But this chapter, this letter, the reversal of this sentence, points directly to the hearts of the people - no one is a saint, and many people have a lot of thoughts, just like the sentence that there is no filial son before the bed of a long illness.
Susan thought about liberation more than once, liberation, but then she condemned herself in her heart, and her grandmother hurt her the most.
At the end, Moon Rabbit replied that she chose the Olympics in her heart, and in the end she missed both the Olympics and her lover, but she did not regret such a decision.
Very good. Susan finally understood what Jiang Yang wrote at the beginning: replying to the letter does not necessarily change the life of others, but only hopes that the person who receives the letter can be happy.
Grandma's manual too. Susan put down the book, walked over to her grandmother, and asked her how she felt. Grandma shook her head, maybe numb, she never cried out of pain, but she was getting thinner and thinner day by day.
She asks Susan what she is reading, and Susan tells her that she is reading a book. Grandma touched her hand,
"It's a good book, I saw you smiling just now." Susan thought about it, indeed, on this rainy day, this book is like a ray of warm sun, which makes people feel a little warm, the point is not how warm it is, but when there is a wisp of difference, the heart changes.
"Read it with me." My grandmother also liked to read books, and she heard many stories, and told her many, many stories when she was a child, and Susan later wanted to be a writer, just to write these stories, but unfortunately she was not talented enough, so she became an editor.
"Okay." Susan sat down, approached her grandmother, and turned to the first page. She didn't know how long she had been reading, during which time she thought her grandmother was asleep.
But when the sound of reading stopped for a while, she opened her eyes, and Susan continued to read, and gradually, even when her grandmother was asleep, Susan continued to read, and the sound of reading echoed through the empty room, becoming less empty.
It rained heavily for three days on and off, and Susan read a little bit every day and finished the book intermittently.
The last story of this book is a company employee, her name is Harumi, her parents died in a car accident, she also lived in an orphanage, and was adopted by relatives, and her relatives who adopted her were paralyzed by illness when she grew up, and the family's economic conditions were declining.
The letter was delivered to the fugitive trio. They opened her up and told her to speculate in real estate, stocks, and then throw it away before the economic crisis, etc.
Later, Harumi heard that the orphanage was on fire and donated money to save the orphanage, and then at that time, Harumi learned that the late founder of the orphanage and the old father of the grocery store were lovers when he was young, and he eloped for a time, and then the woman was arrested and never married, and established this orphanage in this place near the man's hometown.
And in this story, all the trio, musicians, and Beatles fans have spent time in orphanages - in the dark!
When Susan saw this, she was shocked by Jiang Yang, and she couldn't imagine that he was not only attractive in the story now, but also so familiar in the structure of the story, and unconsciously gave the reader such a big surprise.
Wraps all the stories into the fruitless love of an orphanage and a grocery store owner.
Not only that, but in the end, when the younger brother of the old director of the orphanage was too old to take care of the orphanage and handed over the orphanage to outsiders, and Harumi found out that this person was using the orphanage for profit, and planned to buy it in order to keep the orphanage, three young people who came out of the orphanage listened to the rumors and thought that Harumi was going to change the orphanage into a love hotel, and the three people tied Harumi up.
They are the original fugitive trio, and they are also the three who have guided Harumi to where she is today. A book revolves around an orphanage and a grocery store, completing the end of all the storylines, making the five stories a more complete story.
This is really a pleasant surprise.
