Chapter 171: Doubts

After Xinlan's parents got up in the morning, the old lady went to buy breakfast as usual. She opened the door, and a cool breeze came in, which made her feel excited, and she felt that it was winding outside, so she went back to the house and put on a larger coat, and then went out. When I walked to the entrance of the building, I happened to meet the neighbor's daughter who came back early from outside. After the two said hello, the old lady came out into the street. But for some reason, after the old lady saw the neighbor girl who bought breakfast, she suddenly unconsciously thought of Xinlan who worked in a restaurant, on such a cold day, must she still be cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks outside? When she thought about it, she felt that her nose was sharp, and her eyes were inexplicably full of tears, she tried her best to stabilize her mind, only then did she find her gaffe, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't control it for a while, so the old lady sighed with tears in her eyes, and saw the early stall, so she had to pretend to be blown by the wind and rubbed her eyes, and bought it and came back early.

After entering the house, the old man immediately noticed that the old woman's demeanor was wrong, and he was very puzzled, so he asked with concern: "Seeing that you are in such a depressed mood after buying fritters and coming back, what's the matter?" ”

The old woman explained: "I'm really a little nervous now, and when I see the neighbor's daughter going to buy breakfast, I can't help but think of Xinlan." You say, on such a cold day, the wind is blowing again, and I am still working in a restaurant, what a sin I have to suffer! I want to see our daughter! ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "No wonder, you see other people's daughters thinking of our daughter, human nature, don't be uncomfortable, let's go and see if you think about it, it just happens that the sky is changing, while the wind is just rising, the wind is small, let's send her the quilt!" This is about to start winter, and then it should be cold, so send it over just to be usable. Seriously, I also want to go over and see what she is doing in the hotel, you say it's a cold day, really!? If it doesn't work, change your life! The first half of the old man said to his wife, and the second half of the sentence seemed to Xinlan, but it was like talking to himself.

While talking, the old couple helped each other, pulled the table open, and set up the dishes and chopsticks. After eating breakfast, clean up, the woman began to turn up the cabinet, the old man also helped find a sheet, and when the wife turned out the quilt, the two helped each other wrap the quilt, and wanted to go, and felt that it was the rush hour for work, and it was too inconvenient for the two to get on and off the car with a package, so they sat at home and spent time watching TV, and waited until nearly nine o'clock, and the two went out of the house.

On the road, due to the wind, plus the rush hour to work, there are not too many people. The old man carried the quilt in front, and the old woman occasionally helped in the back, and in this way, when he arrived at the station and waited for the bus, the old man put the quilt on the seat, and then took a long breath and said: "Alas! If you don't accept it, you can't do it! It's old, and I'm tired from doing a little work! ”

The old woman said, "You still think you are a young man!?" I can't move my back and speak in advance. Look at your energy, seriously, your body is not as good as mine! Get out of the car, or I'll carry it! ”

"Aren't you carrying me the same? Let the girl see it, isn't it the same distressing! The old man replied casually.

"Alas! You're right, if you don't feel sorry for the two of us, she won't hide it from the two of us! The old woman said.

Hearing the woman say this, the old man remembered the last time he saw his daughter working at the corner, he knew that his daughter was distressed by the old couple, but this time she sent a quilt, and her daughter couldn't hide it if she wanted to, what kind of scene would it be!

Two stops away, and it's only a bag of cigarettes. When getting out of the car, the old woman rushed to put the quilt on her back, the old man didn't argue, and supported her directly, the two of them got out of the car tremblingly, walked forward slowly, and came to the hotel where they last saw Xinlan working. The woman carried the quilt on her back, squeezed against the tree on the side of the road, and looked for Xinlan in the direction of the hotel while resting, hoping to see Xinlan directly like last time, but what made them strange was that the two stood outside for a long time, and they didn't see Xinlan come out and go in, so they saw a woman who came out to collect the dishes for a while and went in to serve food.

The old couple felt a little strange in their hearts, and when they were puzzled, the old man asked the old woman: "Xinlan's mother, I haven't seen Xinlan come out for half a day, you say, when we saw Xinlan last time, we weren't dazzled by the two of us, right?" ”

"Go to the side, you! Can we be wrong about our own children!? Really!? The old woman retorted.

Hearing his wife say this, the old man smiled embarrassedly, yes! How can your own children be wrong? Could it be in the house? The old man guessed for a moment, and then said, "In this case, you can rest here against the tree for a while, and I will go over and ask." ”

As he spoke, the old man walked forward. The old woman wanted her daughter's heart to urge, she didn't wait, and when she saw the old man walking forward, she followed. The two walked straight to the front of the hotel, just as the woman in the hotel just came out of it, and saw the two coming over with the quilt on their backs, thinking that they were eating, and before the two of them spoke, they said first: "Uncle and aunt, it's sold out early, and you have to wait for a cloudy day to eat!" As he spoke, he went to pack up the table and move it into the house.

When the old man heard this, his heart tightened, and he said in his heart, it can't be that his daughter is not doing it here, right? Isn't that a trip for nothing? So he hurriedly said: "Her eldest sister, we are not here to eat, we are here to inquire about someone, see if Xinlan, who usually works here in you, is there?" ”

The woman was cleaning up the table, and when she heard the old man say, she stopped what she was doing and replied, "Who are you talking about?" Aunt Xinlan? She's too busy to be here! ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then do you know where she went?" ”

When the woman heard this, she asked rhetorically, "Who is your second elder?" ”

The old man said: "We are Xinlan's parents, isn't this about to start winter, let's ask her to send her a quilt!" ”

When the woman heard this, she seemed to suddenly realize and replied: "Eh, it turned out to be Aunt Xinlan's parents!" Let me tell you, Aunt Xinlan is too capable of hardship! I haven't met anyone like her yet! In short, what I told you, there is no real thing that you two elders went to see, she is not far from here, turn left at the intersection in front of you, walk about one or two hundred meters ahead, there is a square where movies are shown, and she sells things in the commissary there. Check it out! ”

"Do you know the name of her commissary?" The old man asked again.

When the woman heard this, she was embarrassed. Although she had been there so many times, she really hadn't noticed the name of the store, she thought about it for a while, and she didn't have any impression, so she had to shake her head, meaning that she didn't know.

When the old couple saw it, they knew that it was not good to trouble her again, so they thanked her and said goodbye. But just as they turned to leave, the woman said, "Why don't you wait a while, and I will bring you over after I have received the table into the house." ”

When the old couple heard this, their hearts were naturally very happy, and the two stopped while saying words of gratitude. The woman here also quickly moved the table into the house, and saw her say hello to the family members loudly while carrying a cloth bag.

On the way, the old couple suddenly felt much more relaxed. It turned out that they heard that Xinlan was busy in the store department, and remembered what Xinlan had told them before, which meant that it was true that Xinlan had her own small store, which meant that her daughter's quality of life was guaranteed, which was really a gratifying thing. But the old man remembered that she was working in a restaurant, and he also saw it with his own eyes! What's going on here? Could it be that she still worked two jobs and couldn't succeed, and if so, would the small store still be Xinlan's? The old couple was a little puzzled.
