Chapter Twenty-Eight: Two Hands
"Feifei, I made you white fungus soup and put it in your room, go eat it."
As soon as Jing Ruhua went home, Aunt Zhang felt that the dishes were brought to the table, wiped her hands on the apron, and greeted her with a smile.
Jing Ruhua watched Aunt Zhang take her schoolbag and carefully organize it in her hands, ready to go upstairs and put things in her room, maybe she had just finished cooking, her back had not yet straightened up, she was a little rickety, wearing a gray cardigan, a pair of black coarse cloth pants underneath, and her trouser legs were swinging with her own cloth shoes.
"Grandma Zhang, let me put the schoolbag for myself." Jing Ruhua walked over quickly and took the schoolbag that was held in Aunt Zhang's arms.
The schoolbag is a cloth bag sewn by Aunt Zhang, the cloth of Baise is also embroidered with two trumpet flowers, this flower is attached to the wall of the courtyard, it can be seen everywhere, the stitches are fine, if you carefully turn over the inside of the bag, the thread head is also hidden well, although the embroidery is not a craft, but it is also embroidered lifelike, the green vines are coiled in the corner of the schoolbag, the two trumpet flowers of Baise are blooming, the flower mouth is facing up, and the two depend on each other.
"Feifei, they're coming back, do you want to come down and eat."
Aunt Zhang thought about it, thinking that Qiao Fei is now five years old, even if the Qiao family doesn't like her, she can't make this situation with the family, for the sake of Qiao Fei's future, Aunt Zhang tried to let Qiao Fei get the attention of the Qiao family.
Thinking so, Aunt Zhang stretched out her hand to touch Jing Ruhua's head, thinking of Jing Ruhua's usual temperament and preparing to go back in her hand, Jing Ruhua stretched out her little hand and grabbed Aunt Zhang's boring hand, her eyes moved slightly, and she said slightly unnaturally, "No need, make me an egg drop soup, I want to drink that." “
Aunt Zhang was obviously very surprised that Jing Ruhua held her hand, this kind of intimate contact, after Jing Ruhua could walk, Aunt Zhang had no chance, that is, sometimes when Jing Ruhua fell asleep, Aunt Zhang wanted to touch her little face, like ordinary people's grandmothers in love with little granddaughters, she didn't dare, with caution, I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, every time Aunt Zhang stretched out her hand, Jing Ruhua would be dodged by Jing Ruhua without a trace, this time, Jing Ruhua took the initiative to grab her hand or for the first time.
"Alas, alas." Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly, the gray sideburns on both sides were tightly stuck by the black clips, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes gathered in one place and rose slightly, the slightly loose and pulled down eyelids made the eyes smaller and smaller, the eyes were full of smiles, and the thin lines on the side of the mouth also rose with the wrinkles of the eyes.
At that time, she was the mother of Jingfu, there were many maids and wives waiting, she looked at the account book every day to deal with affairs, and her spare time was to enjoy the flowers and feed the fish, the hair on the sideburns was always smeared with hair oil hairpins and ornaments, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were tight, and the light in the eyes never penetrated the smile, and the hands, Jing Ruhua touched the prickly skin in the palm of the hand, she remembered that her own hands had never had a callus even if they were loose and drooping.
Aunt Zhang took Jing Ruhua's white and tender little hand and walked towards the kitchen, this is also the first time that Jing Ruhua took the initiative to tell Aunt Zhang what she wanted to drink.
The old hand is holding the immature little hand, and the little child follows behind the old man, even if two people are people from different worlds, people of different classes, and people with the same old soul, this should be a strange combination, which makes people's hearts full of softness.
Perhaps, they are all lonely, they have always been lonely, and they condone different statuses, but fate has always been fair, and they do not make life smooth because of material status and money, how similar is the scenery to Aunt Zhang.
