Towards the end of the year, the weather suddenly turned bad, with more than ten days of cold rain dripping, and then a snowstorm sweeping through the whole night. When the sky is cloudy, the snow gradually stops, and the wind is like a knife.

The woman's breakfast is extremely simple, half a bowl of hot porridge is a few pickles, which is considered to deal with a meal, and she leaves one for her mother-in-law and the other for her daughter, who is growing her body.

Pushing open the door, the moonlight shone on the white snow, and it was bright.

The muddy path leading to the county seat is now frozen into a lump of high and low. The woman rushed to the market with a cart full of vegetables and fruits, and she kicked one foot in the east and one foot in the west, as crooked as a car and a car.

At six o'clock, the woman rushed to the street to occupy a place, perhaps because of the cold weather, there were not many people to gather early, she waited for nearly an hour, and did not wait for a customer.

The east is white, and the pedestrians at the street entrance are gradually increasing. Suddenly, several people in uniform and wearing big-brimmed hats came up to her, and she hurriedly pushed the cart into the alleyway, and finally shook off the big-brimmed hats.

"Vegetable sellers?" A man flashed out of the public toilet unexpectedly: "How do you sell vegetables?" ”

"A piece of five." She looked at the man slightly, then quickly lowered her head.

The man was unstrapping or unbelting, his right hand fumbling in his waist.

"A piece of five? It's cheap. The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the alley: "It's a pity that you don't have any money on you, you go to my door, so I can use the money to buy your food?" As he spoke, he slowly approached the woman.

She took a few steps back and politely rejected the man's proposal: "I'm still waiting for you here, or will you go home and beg for money?" ”

"That's not good, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy things if you have money? If you don't go, I won't buy it! ”

"Okay, I'll go with you." The woman gritted her teeth and pushed the cart forward, the man following behind her.

After a quarter of an hour, they stopped in front of an old house in the middle of nowhere.

"This is it, let's go in and sit down?" Suddenly, the man grabbed the woman's arm and quickly dragged her into the house.

"What the hell, you let go! I'm calling someone! By this time, the woman had been dragged to the door.

"How much?" The man clung to the woman, "How much do you want?" The price is good, if you want, I can do it!"

The woman broke free and pressed her feet against the doorway.

"Horn!" The sound was slapped in the face of the woman, and she almost fell, but she struggled, still holding her foot against the doorway.

"If you dare to move again, I'll ......" The man's face was hideous, and he quickly took out the key and prepared to open the lock.

Soon the door lock opened, and after a "tom", the door was kicked open by the man, and at this moment, the woman stomped steadily on the man's slipper.

"Ahh The man let out a scream like killing a pig, and the woman took advantage of the situation to bite the back of the man's left hand, the man could only let go of his hand in pain, and he scolded: "You slut, you 'sell' ......"

After this, the woman strode to the tricycle, took out a fruit knife from under the seat of the car, and she opened her mouth and gasped: "If you are ...... Again...... Dare to come here, I'm ...... I'll kill you! , come here...... Come and give it a try! ”

"Don't, don't, I'm joking, sister, don't take it seriously, I don't dare......" After speaking, he slammed into the house and locked the door.

"Get out! Get lost! The woman rushed forward and kicked the door twice, and then smiled bitterly.

The tricycle turned around, and the woman slowly pushed it in the direction of the vegetable market.

The crowds start to crowd up, and the eight o'clock wet market is the busiest time of the day. The woman sorted several vegetables and fruits into categories, arranged them neatly, and aimed the watering can at the green leafy vegetables, spraying them evenly.

"How do you sell bananas?" An elderly woman looked at her with a child in her arms, who had been touching for more than a week.

"Two dollars a pound, bananas are very cheap." The woman smiled and replied, "It's all flour bananas, soft and glutinous, and can be eaten by the elderly and children!" ”

"If you charge me a high price, I will come back and trouble you." The old woman asked again: "What did you just say, the elderly and children can eat it?" ”

The woman nodded: "Children can also eat it, my children, I love to eat this glutinous rice banana the most, and I love to eat it when I am young." ”

"Aren't you afraid of freezing your child in winter?"

"If you want your child to be safe, you need to be hungry and cold." The woman added, "Don't overfeed the child and don't dress too warmly, otherwise it will be difficult for the child to raise." ”

"That's what you said?" The elderly woman pointed at her, and then pointed to a handful of yellow bananas, and the woman understood and put it on the scale.

"These are all things that are said in the books." The woman put the bananas in a plastic bag and smiled at her, "Ten dollars in total." ”

The elderly woman paid the money coolly, and then the banana handed over by the woman quickly squeezed into the crowd.

"Sister!" A half-sized man riding a battery bike on the road waved at her.

"Ah, why are you here?" The woman's heart tightened, "Is there something wrong with our father?" ”

The young man hung his head, "Our father was unwell before, he was always reluctant to go to the hospital for examination, and later found out......" He suddenly stopped and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" The woman's face was full of anxiety, and she urged: "What are you doing with half a sentence?" You're telling the truth! ”

"My parents have been hiding it, not letting you tell you, saying that you ......", the young man's eyes were slightly red: "He found out that it was uremia!" ”

"Uremia?" The woman shook her body and almost fell, she grabbed the tricycle, "Where is he now?" ”

"Last night, my father suddenly fell and then sent him to the hospital, saying that he had a cerebral hemorrhage."

"Why did I have a cerebral hemorrhage again?"

"Sister, I have to rush to the hospital to change my mother, and there are still a lot of things at home that no one can take care of."

The woman nodded indifferently, and suddenly as if she remembered something, she took out her wallet from her arms and handed all the money in it to the young man: "Less than five hundred yuan, you give these to my mother, I only have these now." ”

"No, I don't want your money! They won't let me tell you, don't say I told you. ”

"If you want to take it, you will bring it, obedient."

"Mom and Dad said, I don't want your money. Sister, I went to the hospital. The battery car carried the young man and disappeared in a hurry.

The woman felt that her nose was sour, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Selling banana seeds!" Suddenly, a shrill voice pulled the woman back to reality from her sad emotions. Shocked, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Here, what's the matter with you?" ”

The sound of "horn", a banana smashed towards the woman's head.

"Is this the banana you sold?" The people who came were violent.

When the woman looked up, she saw that she was an elderly woman who had just bought a banana. She still had the baby in her arms.

The woman opened the plastic bag and confirmed that the banana was her own, and she nodded.

"You said that you sell good banana seeds, which can be eaten by the elderly and children, did you say that?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Our children ate your banana seeds, and now they vomit and diarrhea, how do you explain it?" As she spoke, she secretly screwed it on the child's buttocks.

"Wow!" The child couldn't stop crying.

"Auntie, you heard me say, this banana is ......"

"I don't listen, I ask you what to do now?"

"Auntie, these bananas are all good, take a look?"

"I don't look at it! My child is vomiting and diarrhea now, and he wants to go to the hospital, and you have to pay my medical bills! As she spoke, she quietly squeezed the child's ass again.

The child continued to cry, and by this time several people had gathered around the woman to watch the excitement.

"Auntie, what do you say?"

"Give a thousand dollars, or take our child to the hospital!"

"Auntie, I think this child is good, this ......"

"Oh, you give her a thousand dollars, if you go to the hospital, how can a thousand be enough?" The onlookers began to help.

"One thousand is definitely not enough, I fell last time, and it cost me more than five thousand to go to the hospital!" The older woman replied to the onlookers.

"That's it, you're going to have to spend a lot of money going to the hospital!" Another onlooker also said: "Last spring, my daughter-in-law had an operation, which cost more than 10,000 yuan!" ”

The woman suddenly took a few steps back, "I don't have any money, I have a life!" As she spoke, she pushed the tricycle and was about to leave.

"Well, you want to run?" The elderly woman grabbed her, "Catch the liar, catch the liar!" Don't let her run! ”

"What are you doing?" The woman pushed her away, and the elderly woman fell to the ground.

"Hit someone, help!" The elderly woman desperately cried for help, and the child also cried with Wawa.

Seeing that it was out of control, the woman took out her wallet from her arms, and the elderly woman immediately got up from the ground and snatched the wallet: "I only need a thousand, and I don't want you if I have more." ”

When she opened it, she stared at the thin few tickets, "Not enough!" ”

The woman sighed: "That's all I have, or you can send me to the police station......"

The old woman pinched all the tickets and glared at her fiercely before she gave up.

Tears blurred her vision, the woman wiped her eyes again, and she pushed the tricycle to the back door of the vegetable market, and her stomach made a "gurgling" sound from time to time. Eating porridge in the morning is always not full, and the woman spent a dollar to buy two baked cakes, which she felt were cheap and filling.

The woman munched on the crispy biscuits, and a mobile phone ringtone suddenly came to her ears: "Hey, is it resident No. 106?" ”

"Yes, what's the matter with you, landlord?" The woman stuffed the uneaten pancake into her arms.

"It's nothing, it's just that the rent will rise after the year, and every household will rise. I will inform you in advance, if you feel that it is not suitable, you can go out and find a house on your own. ”

"Huh?" The woman was excited, "How much?" ”

"Two hundred a month!"

"Two hundred? Sister landlord, I'm really ...... now. I can't help it......"

"What do you mean?"

"I ...... I want to discuss it with you......" The woman couldn't say anything, but the landlord seemed to have lost patience: "What doesn't go in price now?" Tell me about it? ”

The woman didn't know how to answer, and the landlord quickly hung up.

The woman's stomach was "gurgling" again, and she pulled out the baked cake from her arms.

The second time the phone rang, it was a classmate calling, she just pressed the answer button, a shrill voice immediately came out: "Old classmate, next Wednesday is a good day for me, the second wedding in my life!" Old schoolmate, you must come! ”

"Hmm—" The woman nodded vigorously as she chewed a mouthful of pancakes.

"Also, old classmates, you also change your smartphone, and I also pulled you into the group, and our classmates are all in the group! What age do you still use 'Old Man's Treasure'? ”

The woman still said "um", and the other party didn't say much, and each hung up the phone.

The time was unhurried, and the woman stayed until five o'clock in the afternoon to close the stall, and she hurried to the school to pick up her daughter and go home with her.

The child held his face, pouted, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong with you today?"

"Mom, the teacher said that there will be a new dance class next semester, and I want to sign up for dance learning, I ......" The daughter looked into the eyes of the woman while helping her mother push the tricycle stuck in the mud.

"If Mom had that money, she would have changed to a tricycle earlier, and Mom would have been able to ride you on a cart at that time, and she wouldn't need you to help push the cart, so we could both be more relaxed."

"Don't you learn? Mom, I really want to learn dance. ”

"It's not that mom won't let you learn dance, mom can't help it!" The woman finished and took out a new pair of cotton shoes from under the seat cushion of the car.

"This pair of cotton shoes is for you, and another pair is for your grandmother, are they good-looking?"

The child lowered his head and rubbed his red hands.

"Mom, I really want to learn dance, I will definitely learn dance hard."

"Child, alas! Mom earns some more money and will buy you a pair of gloves right away. ”

"Mom, I'm growing up, I can earn my own money, can I learn to dance?"

The woman shook her head and fell silent.

Without saying a word all the way, the two stumbled home.

After the woman finished dinner, she waited for her mother-in-law, who was in a wheelchair, to wash and lie down, and she began to tutor the child with homework again, and at nearly nine o'clock, the child also went to sleep. The woman opened the drawer, trembling and took out a family photo, she bit her lip tightly, and finally slowly let go: "Three years ago, the child was only eight years old...... If you hadn't been in a car accident at the time, if the driver hadn't escaped, if your father-in-law hadn't been sick, if your mother-in-law hadn't been paralyzed, if ......" the woman choked up, she couldn't continue.

Suddenly, the woman woke up the child: "Child, mom wants to go out, do you want to listen to grandma?" ”

"Where's Mommy?"

"Mommy's going to Grandpa!" The woman locked the door and ran into the muddy snow.
