Chapter 8 Good as Water

"Uncle Lu hasn't come here now, you two come in and talk about it, and I'll hear what the situation is. ”

Xiang Nuanyang felt that the price of yesterday's impulsiveness was too great, so he learned a lot today.

"That's right, we are the No. 7 floor noodle shop, and we have come all the way to this city to do some small business to support our families. On the fifth floor of my house, there is an old woman who throws garbage downstairs every once in a while. The woman had a foreign accent, afraid that Xiang Nuanyang would not be able to hear clearly, so she deliberately spoke very slowly.

Sounds like a reasonable person.

It seems that they are also migrant workers from other places, and the two of them have opened such a noodle shop.

"You said that we had already tried to relate to the garbage throwing, but it always took two days to get back to the original state. Today I threw things down again, little girl, you said that we open the door to do business, and there is always garbage at the door, but how can it be good? You are a guest, would you like to enter such a store?"

The woman said it in an orderly manner, and the man did not say a word, and it seems that he agrees with the woman's statement.

Xiang Nuanyang's urgency was about to move again, she suffered a loss yesterday, and she had to remember it a little longer today, so she said: "That's it, I'll go to the door of the store with the two of you to have a look, and then I'll go upstairs to understand the situation." ”

"Okay, come with us, little girl, I'm sorry for you. The board-faced couple walked in front and led the way to Xiang Nuanyang.

Xiang Nuanyang's mood is a little hearty, after all, this is the first person she has met who can talk about the situation calmly,

The balance in her heart couldn't help but tilt a little in favor of these two people.

Building 7 does not guard the main road, but the location is not biased, near the door, there are a few tables outside, usually business should be good.

However, on the table placed outside, the traces of garbage were very obvious.

"This was all thrown upstairs?" Xiang Nuanyang frowned.

Could it be that he was jealous of the good business of the noodle family and deliberately threw it away?

Or is it of low quality, completely ignoring the lives of the people downstairs?

In the final analysis, the matter of throwing objects from high altitudes is not only a matter of quality, but also an illegal act, and it is possible to be held accountable if it is caught.

Xiang Nuanyang asked: "Little brother, sister-in-law, do you know which one is on the fifth floor? I'll go up and ask, just to help you deal with it." ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly reported the other party's door number, "Little girl, then trouble you, we really have no choice." ”

Looking at the reasonable, gentle and weak appearance of the sister-in-law of the board face, Xiang Nuanyang's heart suddenly rose with an urge to protect, and she patted her chest, "Sister-in-law, don't feel uncomfortable, I promise that from today onwards, no one will throw garbage down the fifth floor!"

Small, this girl can still make you, a morally corrupt person, bully people?

I'm going upstairs to meet this unqualified person for a while!

She went upstairs while brewing her rhetoric, thinking in her heart that she must come up with a posture of uneven roads and shovels in order to suppress these unqualified people.

As she walked, she found that the stairs in the old corridor were uneven, and several stairs were broken and needed to be repaired. The metal handrails of the staircase were also crumbling, and it felt like if it took a little effort to push it down and fall downstairs.

The smell of the corridor gradually became unpleasant, not only unpleasant, but even a little pungent, Xiang Nuanyang covered his nose and looked up in disgust, "Who's it? Why is there a smell of rotten and moldy garbage?"

Xiang Nuanyang, who walked to the fifth floor, was a little panting, looking at the sour and smelly garbage bag in front of the door, she endured her nausea and knocked on the door of the house, "Knock knock!"

"Is anyone at home? I'm Xiang Nuanyang, a newcomer to the community, is anyone there?"

There was a sound from inside the house, "Hey, hey, kid, the door is unlocked, you pull it open, there's a lot of garbage in the mouth, you slow down and enter the house." ”

Listening to a faint response, Xiang Nuanyang pressed the doorknob, and sure enough, with a slight pull, the door opened.

The smell in the house is not much better than the outside, this is a typical one-and-a-half-bedroom apartment in the old building, the bathroom is facing the door, and there are all kinds of sundries piled inside.

The people in the room were a little embarrassed, and she shouted faintly inside: "Child, come in and sit, Grandma's legs and feet are inconvenient, and she can't get out, don't mind." ”

The old man's voice was kind, but also a hint of helplessness.

Xiang Nuanyang shook his feet, found a foothold from all kinds of miscellaneous items, and moved into the big house.

An old man, with gray hair scattered on his shoulders, was wearing a pair of velvet pants that were stained with dirt and looked like he hadn't washed them for a long time.

Only those eyes were not cloudy in the slightest, with clarity and kindness.

The old grandmother held her hand on the side of the bed and tried to get off the ground, but she stiffened and couldn't move, she smiled awkwardly, "Child, Grandma's leg was broken some time ago, and she used to be able to walk, but now it's a little inconvenient." ”

Xiang Nuanyang's original indignant rhetoric collapsed the moment he saw this old woman, and he couldn't use a word. How can you blame an old man who can't even get out of bed? She can't do that.

The words she stuck in her mouth spun around in her head, and finally became, "Grandma, our leader asked me to come over and ask, do you have any difficulties in life?"

After saying that, she wanted to slap herself in the face, how could she have such great ability? Even if her grandmother said that she had difficulties, she would not be able to solve them, and she was talking nonsense with a hot head.

"Child, Grandma has received too much help from you, I can now be fed and clothed, thanks to the subsistence allowance you helped me apply for, I can't cause trouble to your community anymore, Grandma is fine with everything, no need to help, it's all right, it's all right." ”

When Xiang Nuanyang saw Grandma's appearance, a sadness spread for no reason, as if she saw a thin girl eating raw noodles in the broken adobe house more than ten years ago......

She quickly sniffed, held back her tears, and changed into a standard warm sun-style smile, "Don't be polite to me, grandma, I'll make my own decisions, and help you clean up the house first." Tell me where to put it. ”

"Kid, don't do it, it's so dirty in this house. Grandma's voice was a little sad, but she insisted on not letting Xiang Nuanyang work.

Xiang Nuanyang is not a person who can be obedient if you let you stop, she started her own action by dividing it by two, and said while cleaning up, "Grandma, you broke it, why didn't you look for us?"

The old grandmother shook her head, looking at Xiang Nuanyang's busy figure, her eyes were filled with tears, she raised her hand full of old age spots, and wiped a handful of tears, "I don't want to cause trouble to you, people who step into the coffin with one foot can't always add a burden to society." ”

Her words made Xiang Nuanyang feel very uncomfortable, this old grandmother must have been a strong person when she was young.

Xiang Nuanyang's movements were very fast, and the busy figure flickered around in the room, and it didn't take long for the small house to clean up the windows.

Then she fetched water, wiped her face and hands, and finally combed her hair.

The old grandmother looked at the new home, and tears finally flowed uncontrollably, "Child, I know that you are here for the bag of garbage I threw downstairs today, but I didn't expect that you could take care of me like this." ”

Xiang Nuanyang didn't mention the bag of garbage again, but the grandmother herself slowly spoke:

"I'm old, my wife left early, and I dragged my son for half my life, who would have thought that a white-haired person would send a black-haired person again. The son died, and it was not easy for the daughter-in-law to take the child, so she left when she met someone who knew the cold and the heat. ”

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:

"Half a year ago, my health was fine, and I was able to go downstairs, buy groceries and throw away garbage or something. Then the staircase handrail broke, and when I went downstairs, I accidentally broke my leg. In the end, I really had no choice but to pile it up in the corridor, thinking about throwing it away when my legs were ready. I didn't think about it, this leg won't get any better, and I'll cause you trouble. ”

She looked guilty, "I really didn't mean to do today's incident, there is a garbage bin on the opposite side of the board, I think hard, I can throw it down a little bit." As a result, it ended up at the door of someone's house, and in the end, I caused trouble to others. ”

The old grandmother stroked a picture frame in her hand, "It would be nice if my grandfather was still here." When people are old, they know the truth of less husband and wife, and old companion. "It was a family photo, and the family of three on it was smiling very happily.

Xiang Nuanyang's heart pricked again, and she changed the subject, "Grandma, the owner of the noodle shop downstairs came to me, but they don't know your situation, if they do, it should be understandable." If you can trust me, I'll help you with this!"

The old grandmother looked at Xiang Nuanyang and responded tremblingly: "Silly boy, how can I not trust you." ”

"Then I'll make my own decisions!" Xiang Nuanyang took the last bag of garbage to the door, turned around and said with a smile.

She stumbled downstairs with a large bag of garbage, and had an idea in her heart.
