Chapter 10 Staying at the home of the director of the women
When she arrived at the home of the village women's director, Yang Jiewen knew the objective reason why the women's director so refused to allow guests to come to her house to board. It is not too much to use the word 'family with four walls' to describe her home.
This made Yang Jiewen feel a little better. The education level of this village women's director must not be high, and it can be seen from her broken Mandarin that she is so ignorant and ignorant, and she basically can't understand Yang Jiewen's words. At this time, there was a lack of a 'translator' present.
The village women's director led Yang Jiewen into a room, took out a broken quilt from a broken closet, put it on a wooden bed, and pointed to a small wooden bucket placed on the right side of the bed. Yang Jiewen didn't understand for a while, what is this barrel used for? Later, I found out that it was for her 'convenience'. The first time she was led into this dilapidated wooden house by this woman, she had already smelled a foul smell of urine, and when she looked for it, she found that it was the stench that came from this wooden barrel, although there was nothing in this small wooden barrel now, but this stench was really disgusting and suffocating.
Since the village women's director brought a plastic hot water bottle to Yang Jiewen, the person quickly disappeared at the door of this room, and Yang Jiewen did not match ten sentences before and after, and the half-understood language exchange actually did not mean anything to Yang Jiewen. And none of her family members have ever appeared, I don't know if they deliberately avoided her, or if this women's director was just a 'lonely person' in the first place.
Yang Jiewen couldn't sleep tonight, although the bed here was wide and large, but the strong musty smell from the quilt and sheets had already made her feel another suffocation, and the strong smell of the urine bucket wafting through the room space next to the bed made her unable to sleep at night.
Yang Jiewen is now beginning to regret her reckless trip. Although the things she has experienced in her life have also had ups and downs, it is a life experience for her, and her heart is strong enough, but occasions like tonight still caught her a little off guard.
Yang Jiewen's current life is not just summed up by the idiom 'worry-free food and clothing'. She herself never recognized her riches and nobility. In the eyes of others, Yang Jiewen is already 'rich and noble' enough. To be able to 'enjoy' such treatment tonight is completely beyond her imagination in the past.
In the middle of the night, rats began to come out of her room, and the sound of 'squeaking' kept getting into Yang Jiewen's ears. She is very afraid of this nocturnal animal, not only the 'face' of this thing, but also its living environment, the bacteria and viruses brought by it, and the 'tenacity' that it harasses.
There was more than one rat in the room, it was supposed to be a swarm. Yang Jiewen was very scared, she cowered in the corner of the bed, her hands tightly grasped the corner of the quilt, worried that these presumptuous guys would run to the bed and be presumptuous, then she would have a nervous breakdown.
Things are often afraid of something, and then Yang Jiewen realized that there was something moving on the other end of the bed. She was terrified that these nasty creatures would become unscrupulous as soon as they 'invaded' their territory. Then, I can't retreat even more, and I can't go down to the ground by myself. The climate here is also really strange, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and now, without a quilt, the clothes on your body alone cannot support the temperature in this room.
The rat here is also too deceitful, if you give it one step back, it will force it three steps forward.
The rats on the bed began to move only on the other end of the bed, which made Yang Jiewen unbearable. Unexpectedly, this pair of mice swaggered from the end of the bed to the end of Yang Jiewen, making a 'squeak' sound along the way.
Yang Jiewen is really extremely nervous, what can I do now? The rats running all over the ground 'blocked' the retreat, and the rats 'soared' all the way to her territory on the bed.
Suddenly, Yang Jiewen screamed, and her two feet kept hitting the wooden board of the bed, and the mouse experienced this scene, and quickly jumped from the bed to the ground, and ran away without a trace.
finally waited until the sky was slightly white, and Yang Jiewen got off the bed like crazy, and the rats on the ground had disappeared.
As soon as Yang Jiewen's door opened, the women's director smiled and said to her: "Come over and wash your face first, the secretary has already said last night, whoever lives in which house for breakfast will eat in which house, I don't know what you like to eat?" I have porridge, steamed buns, flower rolls and sweet cakes here? ”
Yang Jiewen listened for a long time before she understood. Think about it, where did she get so much breakfast? If you go out of her house, I don't know where to go so early, and I don't know if my companions will get up so early, whether they will also be like her 'sleepless night' and make a mess.
Yang Jiewen hurriedly washed her face, but fortunately she had a complete set of washing tools with her, including towels. The towel hanging on the basin shelf in the women's director's house was black and greasy, and it seemed that it had not been changed for a year or two. Fortunately, the owner of this house also realized this earlier, and avoided her and walked out early. Yang Jiewen hastily ended this embarrassing behavior.
Maybe she was too hungry, Yang Jiewen had a big appetite for breakfast, and ate two white powder steamed buns, a flower roll and some pickles porridge in a row, and drank a little clear soup made of unknown ingredients, which tasted weird, but very appetizing. The women's director saw that Yang Jiewen had eaten breakfast before she began to talk to her.
Yang Jiewen didn't know what to think in her heart, anyway, she felt that this family was also very difficult, so she took out a handful of money from her pocket and handed it to the women's director. Yang Jiewen didn't know the specific amount of money handed to her, and the women's director hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it happily.
Since the women's director accepted her money, her attitude towards Yang Jiewen has changed qualitatively. Fortunately, Yang Jiewen didn't care, what else could she say in the face of such a snobbish woman. Yang Jiewen knows that the purpose of coming here this time is not to experience the daily life of the local people here and understand the real life of the farmers here? The experience of the past few days has taught her that compared with her own living and working environment, she still has any extravagant expectations.
