While my mother was eating, I took out my nail clippers and cut my father's toenails.

In the bed next door to us lived an elderly grandmother, who was taken care of by her wife, a tall man with a Mediterranean style.

He sat on the edge of the bed and drank water while complimenting my mother on me.

"Big sister, you have given birth to a good son! Now there are not many children who are so filial, you are blessed. ”

My mother looked at me and was very proud.

"My child has been sensible since he was a child, he studied in Shanghai University, and after graduation, he had to come back to take care of his father, and we couldn't stop him. ”

The old man looked at me with a smile and praised me solemnly.

"Now you go to the ward of the hospital to see how many elderly people are sick, and their children are waiting for them. There are a few things that children can count on today. Most of the children who can be counted on their fingers serving the elderly are also daughters. It is so rare for a filial son, especially at such a young age. ”

......

I really can't take any interest in the compliments, and I haven't closed my eyes for more than 40 hours since last night. While cutting his father's toenails, he dozed off repeatedly.

My mother couldn't see it and asked me to sleep on the empty bed in the next room. I didn't shirk it, now I only feel as if there is a pair of scales hanging on my two eyelids, and the falling eyelids are sore and painful. The mind is not very clear at all, the whole person is confused, and he can't even stand steadily.

I staggered to the next room, not even bothering to take off my shoes. He fell on the bed and began to snore. I could hear the cry myself. It's really tiring these days.

This time it wasn't my mother who woke me up, it was the alarm clock. Fortunately, I set an alarm for 11:30 p.m., otherwise I would have slept until dawn, wouldn't I have skipped work tonight?

I rubbed my eyes and stretched my waist. I went to the public toilet, turned on the faucet, and washed my face.

As soon as I walked out of the bathroom door, my mother took an iron lunch box and stood straight at the door waiting for me.

"Mom, you haven't slept so late, it scares me. ”

My mother was only 1.57 meters tall and small, in contrast to me at 1.82 meters before, and she looked up at me.

"I scalded a few dumplings here, hurry up and eat a few bites. I'm hungry again at work. ”

I really don't understand my mother's brain circuit, and I feel sorry for my son to the point where everything is too big. Did she forget? Did I work part-time in a dumpling restaurant? There are still rats starving to death guarding the grain mountain?

My mother carefully opened the lid of the lunch box, and inside was the mutton, green onion dumplings and mackerel and leek dumplings I brought back at noon. However, it is scalded by hot water again because it cools. The sides of the dumplings have cracked, and several dumpling bellies have also broken open.

"Hurry up and pad it, don't be afraid of being a minute or two late. ”

I nodded, to be filial to my children, filial piety. The first thing is to follow the old man.

I stretched out my wet fingers, hurriedly pinched a few dumplings and stuffed them into my mouth. I don't know how long this dumpling has been soaked in boiling water, and the skin of the dumpling is thick into gnocchi.

I ate as much as I could, but only half a minute. The dumplings in the small half lunch box went down.

"Okay, Mom?" My mouth was full of dumplings, and the dumplings filled with mackerel and leeks had a smell of stinky leeks spreading in my throat after a long time.

My vague goodbye. "I'm full, I'm going to work, Mom, go to bed early. ”

Fortunately, I have long legs, so I separated my two long legs to the limit and went straight to the Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Finally, at 11:59, I rushed into the gate of the Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant, and Da Lang sat at the counter waiting for me, with a blushing face and a sad face.

I quipped. "Sister, aren't you sitting here to catch me if I'm late, and you're going to deduct my money for work?"

Big Wave shook his head, his brow furrowed. I saw her slap her phone on the counter.

"Listen. Yao Rongrong sent it to me. ”

"Yao Rongrong, didn't the old man let him go home early in the morning? What's wrong?"

Da Wave silently hummed the mobile phone broadcast button, which was the voice sent to her by Yao Rongrong.

"Sister Hong, Li Chunling hanged herself in the dormitory this afternoon, and three female students died in a row in dormitory 315 recently. Some rumors are spreading in our nursing department, and our students want to hold a small memorial service in the school teaching building tomorrow night to pay tribute to Peng Lanyan, Gu Zhen and Li Chunling. When the time comes, I hope that Sister Hong and Brother Wang can come over to participate. ”

Li Chunling, she ....... ”

In fact, she should have thought that in the past two days, she was frightened, one roommate died tragically under the car, one roommate went crazy, and the other was directly in front of her by a steel bar through the top of her head. Anyone will have a heart breakdown, and they can't bear it.

The big waves slapped directly at the counter, and the movements and expressions were exactly the same as those of his grandfather.

"The woman's resentment has been controlled, and she can obviously continue to live. Why are you so irresponsible for yourself?"

In the past two days, I have seen too many partings of life and death, and the hanging of Li Chunling has only caused a small wave in my heart.

I had to pat the shoulder of the big wave and comforted.

In fact, the most difficult thing for people to overcome is the fear in our hearts, every day we live. Happy, happy, disappointed, regretful. In fact, we are not facing others, but ourselves.

In Li Chunling's heart, she was tormented repeatedly in pain and fear. Live in your own remorse, live in your own panic. Maybe her heart is already dead, so what's the use of leaving a shell?"

The big waves rolled over his pair of hanging Danfeng eyes and choked me back.

"Strong words, bullshit. The essential....... ”

Da Wave's mood eased slightly, and there was a slight sadness and loss in his words.

"A teenage girl, even if she made a mistake three years ago. She will not sin to death! People who commit suicide are ashamed of their parents, and they are the biggest obstacles, but I am afraid that they will embark on the Huangquan Road, and it will be difficult to be a person if they are successfully reincarnated!"

I and the big wave were enveloped in the emotions of death here for a long time.

Suddenly, Niu Baiye took his mobile phone from the back kitchen to the front hall.

"Alas, our dumpling restaurant is on the news. ”

"What's the news?" I said in unison with Big Wave.

Niu Baiye handed the mobile phone to us. "Penang social news, watch for yourselves. ”

I took my phone and looked at the news report on my phone. The title is eye-catching.

"Three female students in the vocational college died one after another, and the 'skull' torture was staged at the entrance of the dumpling restaurant. ”

Now these news editors are so curious about a topic. is obviously a social documentary news, but they made it a suspenseful horror movie.

Niu Baiye spread his hands, "This time our dumpling restaurant is on fire, and the media is hyped up, but it's a pity that it's a black fire." It is estimated that recently, there are no guests on our day shift. ”

Big Wave squinted at the press release.

"In these days, anyone can be an author, and Penang is a place where you can write a report on big things. ”

"That's not a big deal. ”

Niu Baiye stretched his waist, "Within two days, three people died in a row." They are all classmates from the same school, one department and one dormitory. I heard that the principal and dean of Penang Vocational College have been interviewed by our supervisor. ”

Big Wave looked depressed and uneven.

"It's good this time. Damn it, there's not a single one left. Tomorrow, we will go to Aunt Qin with Grandpa, and we have to find out this negative scumbag. I'd like to see where this culprit is and who is sacred?"

......

I only heard the sound of the glass door at the entrance of the dumpling restaurant being opened.

"Guests?"

When I looked back, it was a small woman in a black silk and leopard print dress.

The woman was in her early 30s, small in size, with long hair dyed in a burgundy shawl, a long-sleeved leopard-print dress with tight hoops, black silk of the kind with a checkered net, and a pair of ten-centimeter haters.

This dress is somewhat similar to a big wave. However, the big wave dress will be more advanced, at least she is a famous brand, charming and fashionable.

And this woman, dressed as a typical shampoo girl, has a very heavy smell of wind and dust, and her opera-like makeup looks tacky and old-fashioned.
