Who is this old woman? She is Ding Erhe's mother, Mrs. Ding.Yuerong was startled at first, why did she see her here? Turning around, she was about to run away, but she only ran a few steps, and suddenly realized that Mrs. Ding was blind, even if she stood in front of her, she didn't know it was Who, why run to avoid it.Therefore, he simply turned around and slowly approached Old Madam Ding. Although the old lady Na Ding didn't see it at all, her sense of smell and hearing were still very sensitive. Immediately, she raised a bouquet of flowers in her hand and said with a raised face, "Do you want flowers, sir? It's a cheap sale. Three cents." Yuerong stretched out her hand to pick the flower, but there was still four or five inches away, so she withdrew her hand and rubbed it on the lapel of her coat, looking around at Old Madam Ding with her eyes. go.Old Madam Ding held up the flower, and continued to say: "Sir, don't you want this flower? It's sold out, I want to go home early, you can just take four flowers and give me a dime." It rushed to the root of the tongue, but a person squeezed forward and asked: "Has this girl bought flowers? What's the price?" Yue Rong looked at the man, then at Old Madam Ding, and saw her two eyes. The eyes just flicked up and down, Yuerong's heart was beating wildly, she couldn't stand still, finally she turned around and walked away without saying a word.After walking about five or six zhang away, when she looked back, Mrs. Ding still raised her face, as if she was very puzzled that the person standing in front of her just left without explaining.Then he sighed and said to himself: "Mrs. Ding, I'm sorry for you, I really don't have the guts to call you." Quickly, he ran to the house.

Although it was only the second watch, but in this cold house, it felt like it was late at night.Standing at the gate, I put my ear on the door panel and listened inside, but there was no sound at all. After knocking on the door several times, the stooped old lady slowly opened the door, put on her clothes, and flashed to the door. , tremblingly asked: "Madam, you're back, are things going well?" Yuerong heard the word "Madam", and she was extremely upset, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart, so why would she answer her.The room where the old lady slept was next to the kitchen, and under the paper windows, there was a little yellowish light, and the yard was otherwise dark.Yue Rong groped her way into the house and asked, "Mother Hu, why don't you light a lamp and put it in my room?" Mother Hu said, "There is no kerosene in that big lamp, so you have to pay for it by me." Just a small lamp in the room." As she spoke, she came in with a kerosene lamp with a small cover less than seven inches high, put it tremblingly on the table, covered the lamp with her hand, and turned to her. Looking at her face, she asked: "Madam, your complexion is not very good. Who did you get angry with?" Yue Rong said with a straight face: "Don't call me wife anymore, if you want to call me wife again, I will I feel bad." Hu's mother didn't want to compliment people, but flattered people, so she could only strike up a conversation and ask, "Do you drink tea? It's cold." Although she asked, her face was still facing outwards, and she walked away step by step. out.

In this room is a ready-made earth kang, and a small table with two drawers is placed against the wall, on which are piles of broken papers, bottles and jars and so on.The small kerosene lamp was placed on a broken earthen bowl, which was covered upside down.At the head of the small table, there is a square stool with a broken leg. The kang is very big. A thin quilt and a quilt are placed on a yellow reed mat, which is more obvious in this room. Empty and shabby.Yuerong hugged one leg and sat on the edge of the kang. Seeing the mung bean fire, the room was a bit gloomy, but that little fire still refused to stop the status quo, but the wick was slowly reappearing. Slowly, just let it go.I got up and went to the lamp, looked down at the oil in the glass cup, but it was no more than five cents deep. Seeing that the oil was exhausted and the lamp went out, it was almost dark time, so I sighed and said to myself: "Sleep, what are you waiting for?" After saying this, he climbed onto the kang, pulled the quilt, and lay down, with his eyes open on the kang, how could he sleep? The light, however, didn't wait for her, and gradually sank, so that the room was pitch black.But the two eyes still couldn't close together. The gong in the alley was knocked once, and then again, until after three or four knocks, there was no sound.

The next morning when I got up early, seeing the gloomy sky, I thought it was still early, so I lay on the kang and thought for a while.Hearing noises in the yard, he called through the window and asked, "Mama Hu, is it still early?" Mama Hu said, "You should get up, it's already mid-morning. It's windy today, and the sky is full of yellow. Sand." Yue Rong said: "Okay, get up, you can find some hot water and I will wash my face, after washing my face, I will go out." Hu Ma fumbled into the room and asked her: "Yesterday's Things..." Yuerong said with a light smile: "It's not so easy to ask for help, I have to go today. The person I ask for is probably not much better than me." Hu Ma said: "Since that's the case, you still go What are you begging for?" Yue Rong said: "I am not begging for clothes and food, I am begging for loneliness and pity, no one knows me, so I am begging for help." Hu Ma said: "What is this, I don't understand. "Yuerong said: "You don't know this. Don't ask, have you prepared hot water? If there is no hot water, cold water is fine." Seeing her impatience, Mama Hu actually scooped up a basin of cold water to wash her face.After washing, she poured a large cup of herbal tea into the teapot, rinsed her mouth, took a sip, put down the teacup by the door frame, and walked out the door.

Today I was very excited and made great determination to go to Erhe's house.At this time, the strong wind in the sky, carrying flying sand, roared wildly, and the sky above the street was covered with smoke, and the electric wires on the street were blown by the wind, making a shrill and terrifying hissing sound.Yue Rong was walking towards the wind, and the clothes on her body were very thin, the wind made the cotton robe flutter, and the skirt of the clothes bulged in the wind, making her unable to walk, she just wanted to back away.But Yuerong didn't care about it, she put her hands down, pressed her chest, just lowered her head and walked forward.Sometimes the wind is too strong, and a cloud of dust will be rolled up on the spot, rushing to the person's head and face. Yuerong simply closed her eyes and walked on the wall of the person's house.Finally, her perseverance defeated the environment, and when the wind and sand surrounded her body, she reached the destination.Erhe crossed the yard, that was the road he was familiar with, so he didn't have to worry about anything anymore, he deliberately drove quickly, and rushed towards the gate of the yard.I also estimated in my heart that in such a windy and sandy day, maybe both his mother and son were at home.When you see Erhe, don't make such a ghostly appearance, just wave all the dirt on your body and head.Standing under the gate of the courtyard, he took out his handkerchief, wiped the ashes off his face for a while, and then walked into the courtyard holding the skirt of his clothes.

Naturally, the atrium almost jumped into the throat.Because I wanted to suppress it with all my strength, I first yelled loudly in the yard: "Grandma." Someone in the room agreed: "Who is it?" Seeing it, I couldn't help being startled.Yue Rong recognized that person as Miss Tian Er.I was afraid of meeting someone, but I did, so I smiled, nodded to her and said, "Second Miss, long time no see, is Mrs. Ding at home?" As if something had bumped into his heart, he put his hand on the door frame, but stood there blankly looking at her, with one foot outside the threshold and the other still inside.At this moment, Yuerong spoke, but she had no choice but to answer, and she also smiled and said, "Yo, I said who it is, it's Boss Yang, old lady Ding has moved here, and my family has moved into this house." Yuerong said: "Oh, they moved? When did they move?" The second girl said, "It's been a long time since they moved." Yue Rong said, "Where did they move? Isn't it good to live here? The second girl paused and nodded her head, "It's windy outside, please come in and sit for a while." Yuerong stood and stared at the window of the room for a while, then followed her in.

The second girl Tian has already shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, we have a rare visitor." Sister-in-law Tian came out of the room to welcome her, nodded her head several times and smiled, "This is Boss Yang. What kind of wind is driving you today?" It's blowing? Look, I'm too confused, isn't it a strong wind?" As he said, he clapped his hands.Seeing that she was wearing a green cloth cheongsam with rolled up sleeves and a crescent comb inserted on the left side of her head to hold down her hair, Yue Rong said, "Am I here to disturb you?" The sister-in-law said: "Why do you say such polite words? If you didn't go to the wrong door, please can't invite you? Please sit down." She was very affectionate, holding Yuerong's hand , pulled her to sit on the chair.He moved a square stool and sat down next to Yue Rong, tilted his head to look at her face and asked with a smile: "Boss Yang, I heard that you haven't sung for a while, what's the matter? Are you working at home?" Yue When Rong heard that, she couldn't help but blushed, lowered her head, and sighed: "It's hard to explain." Mrs. Tian was very considerate of her, and smiled at her: "No busy, just speak slowly." Yue Rong He lowered his head, paid attention to the ground for a while, and said in a low voice: "As far as I think, sister-in-law, you should also know. I made a mistake by myself. At this time, you taught me that I am really a little Excuse me."
