Chapter 5 story of a day

Because it is easy to make money, Mr. Jin Sheng, who is called a writer for no reason, recently got a letter from a bookstore far away, politely talking about the manuscript, meaning that if Mr. Jin Sheng is willing, he can do a business, on the one hand. Money, on the one hand, is the goods, just waiting for the promise, even if the article does not come, the money will be sent.Mr. Jin Sheng, who was feeling that his life could not support him, read this letter and felt that there was such a bold publisher in the world. Although he knew that this business was not easy to do, he wrote the reply letter and sent it to the post.He told the owner of the new bookstore, asking him to send the money, and he also told the owner, at what time the manuscript could be sent to them by registered mail.Although the article hasn't been written yet, he still agrees like making an appointment in other bookstores, and he agrees without thinking about it.

It took fourteen days from the date of replying to the letter to the date of delivery of the manuscript. He thought that no matter what, the manuscript fee would be paid in about ten days, so he dreamed of endless dreams on this small sum of money.This person is also extremely honest, and he only wants to have an inspiration to help him when the time comes, so that he can write a wonderful story. In the story, all the middle school students and college students of today seem to be very happy, and the male and female readers are nourished by wisdom in this story. In the future, you can also get interesting recuperation, and the book will become popular as soon as it is published.He knows that the recent writing is getting worse and worse. He wants to be popular for a while, but he just wants to make a fortune for the bookstore.But I think, it seems that this beautiful legend, there are so many things to be described in front of my eyes, and I want to pick up a pen to write, but it is over.Not only is it impossible to be wonderful, but it is also impossible to talk about thousands of words.There is nothing to squeeze in an empty oil mill, and it is useless to beat a thousand hammers.In order to accomplish this matter, he sat at the table all day long, thinking of all the stories in his memory, but everything was very ordinary in his mind, there was neither revolutionary bloodshed nor love triangle. Unambitious heart, this heart falters because of a letter from someone saying that it is a fifty-yuan royalties gift, which is obviously pitiful harassment.For a person who owes too much, he can't help but feel the meaning of being human in these small things, and become like a fool for such a happy and hearty transaction.

After sitting at the table for four days, I always felt that I had nothing to write.All the dust on the table that could never be swept away, as well as the leftovers of rice, he was angry with himself, but still felt tied.He only made some ridiculous records in his diary, talking about the state of his heart, and how he passed these four days.If this person is a courageous person, then he can submit this thing, because a smart publisher is someone who knows what a so-called genius writer is, and if he writes hard, he will still be like this.They chose to count people's names as units.And readers who spend thirty-five cents, spend a little money, do not have to get something from the book, Mr. Jin Sheng also sees it clearly.As long as it is written on it, it is said to be written by XX, and in Shanghai, there will be people competing for money to print and buy. Cultural business?

He admitted that he didn't have the courage to live his life without doing anything. Today is the fifth day. The place where he lives is a place that looks ridiculous to people who just came from other places. The narrowness and filth are extremely unsuitable for health, but because he is a "writer", it is not only "makeup, but also looks like it should be". Been wearing makeup for a long time.Rents in Shanghai are so expensive. For a small house, you have to pay the second landlord thirteen yuan a month, plus one yuan for toilet cleaning, one yuan for cleaning dust, and one yuan for laundry.These kinds of rules are naturally set by the second landlord especially for this guest.Speaking of cleaning the dust, things seem to be done all day long. In the morning, the aunt came, with a thin face and a feather duster in her hand, and passed the tables, chairs, bookshelves and bedsides like a whirlwind. , The whirlwind passed by, all the dust was raised up and disappeared, her responsibility was done, she took the door up and down the stairs in a hurry.In addition to the door, there is only a small special window in the room. The front door is an important passage for people going up and down the stairs, so it has to be closed. The only window is so small that it looks like something you saw from a sea ship or some kind of prison. Similarly, even if the sky is wide open all day long and the sunlight comes in, it is only so light.It is naturally impossible to hope that the dust raised by the Jiangbei mother's mighty sweeping will escape from the window.The dust can't go out, and my aunt never brought it with me, so every morning, my aunt's job is just to stir up the dust.She just raised up all the dust, flew into the air, and distributed it evenly throughout the room.Because of this, even though I often take the sheets on the third floor to dry on the balcony by myself, they are still covered with dust, and when I turn over frequently on the bed, I cough continuously.

The small window is facing the middle of a chimney of a house in Tongli. Because the building where I live is a specially partitioned back building, the window is opened in such a strange way. The window is facing the chimney, so naturally the room is dusty. reason.The front room is separated by a board, and the person who lived there used to be a Shanghainese who smoked opium. This person only smoked and slept all day long, but he was quiet.As soon as this person left, in the last week or so, a family moved in. Because it took a long time to move things upstairs, he knew that the two people who came here were also scholars.These two couples, who are not yet thirty years old, have three shelves of books and four children.The older one seems to have an eight-year-old daughter.A six-year-old elephant has ascariasis, and the yellow-faced one is the son.The third is the daughter again, about four years old.The fourth was held in my arms, but she cried all day long, until the nutrition of the milk was exhausted by crying. I don't know if this child is a girl or a boy.This family, on the surface, from the house they live in, and from the expressions on the children's faces, can see that their life is struggling.Since the family moved here, Mr. Jin Sheng has done one more thing, which is to think for the family.He often accidentally saw this man with a pale face on the balcony at the stairs, and wanted to nod at first, but felt that this was wrong, so he deliberately avoided it many times.

There is only one layer of thin boards between the living quarters, so in the front room, he can't hide anything that makes noise.For the first two days, the crying of the child sometimes aroused his annoyance, and he felt that his peaceful mind was disturbed, and he couldn't explain it.Until recently, I got a kind of forgiveness from the voice of the woman with a short body and a haggard face. The youngest child had to cry five or six times a day, and the second boy had to beat the third sister to tears three or two times. Even in the dream, this child also yelled happily. In short, although the children here are all so thin, they are still living in "movement" like children in many families in the world. Days, mothers can still keep all peace.Father Xiang has a job somewhere, except for Sundays, every day until nine o'clock, he puts on the long-outdated silk shirt with small sleeves, carries a black leather bag, and walks downstairs sloppily.From their conversation, it seems that they are not very close to the place where they work. Sometimes when it rains, the woman can be heard talking, advising the man to hire a car. As usual, only the woman said this, but the man did not answer.The men ate their meals in the office, and the women, like Mr. Jin Sheng, paid nine yuan for one month's food. Because there were too many people and not enough food, they added another meal, but it was the person who brought the meals. Same as Mr. Jin Sheng said.

When it was time to eat, on Mr. Jin Sheng's side, two dishes and one soup were placed coldly on the dusty white wooden square table, and he ate and thought silently.On the other side, the dishes and rice should be the same dishes and rice, but only "people screaming", "golden drums beating together", and the sound of bowls and chopsticks is extremely lively.At this time, Mr. Jin Sheng imagined that the mother put a mouthful of rice in her mouth and watched the children around the table in a daze, and he couldn't eat anymore. Because of the proximity of this family, Mr. Jin Sheng seems to know a little more about the world.He also thought of this, if he knew more about this person, it would do him no harm at all.However, he is usually negligent in socializing with others, and his morbid cowardice and low self-esteem often make him farther away from his acquaintances, lacking the convenience of forming friendships, so in the past week, except for laughing with children occasionally, he has never had any contact with such acquaintances. Family members have more proximity.Today is Sunday, and the man from that family did not go out to the office. Mr. Jin Sheng met the man by the stairs, and the two nodded politely.At this time, the man was going from upstairs to downstairs, took a wrought iron pot, and was about to carry water, but Jin Shengjun had just returned from a walk on the road.Mr. Jin Sheng used a slightly countryman's look, and made ordinary polite words: "Aren't you going out?"

"Yes, it's Sunday." "Looks like he's been very busy." "It's like this, the time is set, there is no way." As if there was nothing to say, the two fell silent.However, no one seemed to think of this as the end, and no one wanted to nod and walk away. After a while, the man suddenly said, "Mr. Jin Sheng, you don't seem to be very busy." When Mr. Jin Sheng heard this stranger calling his name, he couldn't help but looked at the man in a little surprise, and the man understood this, so he said: "From the person who sent the letter, I found out that Mr. Jin Sheng is Mr. Jin Sheng. I have admired him for a long time. I wanted to come here to ask for advice, but I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Mr. Jinsheng. It's a rare opportunity to move here and live in the same house with Mr. Jinsheng, but there are many children and they are noisy all day long. I'm really sorry."

The man said, smiled extremely cautiously, and looked at Mr. Jin Sheng. When Mr. Jin Sheng heard this, he smiled cautiously at first, but later he heard that he was sorry, and said: "There are more children there, let's make it more lively. I am very happy to have children." After a pause, he said: "There seem to be four children. It can be said that they are really blessed. Is the older one seven or eight years old?" "Eight years old." "Judging from Mr.'s voice, it seems to be from Sichuan." "Mr. Jinsheng can hear it. It is true that his family is in Chongqing. Mr. Jinsheng seems to be from ××××. There have been many heroes in the past few years."

"In recent years, there have been more deaths in that place than in other places." "Yes, there are a lot of sacrifices to this point. The ability of XX people to sacrifice is like the ability of XX to be an official. It is a matter of land." "Have you been to ××?" "No. I used to study in Beijing, but I knew a lot of XX people, all of whom seemed capable of doing things and doing something." "Sir, you have lived in Beijing, and you went to Peking University to study. Where is Normal University?" "No, I've been to the University of Faculty of Law, which was a major in law and politics. It happened eight years ago. Mr. Jin Sheng seems to have lived in Beijing for a long time."

"For five years, Beijing was a little more convenient than this place, and it was more suitable for people like us to live in." "Really, Beijing is a good place. It is common to live in an apartment there and owe half a year's rent for food and housing. It seems that people there know a little bit more about art." "It's like that. Once I get here, I feel helpless." "I thought that Mr. Jin Sheng should live in a good house in Shanghai and live in a comfortable family, so when the messenger was not at home that day and the messenger brought the letter, I still didn't quite believe that the man living in the back building was Mr. Many people don't believe that Mr. lives like this, it's a joke." "This is also very common. I am too useless. According to the new style, a person is outdated. A person who is outdated cannot catch up with the times. Even the clothes seem to be behind the times. He is not worthy of being called a young person, so Just like that, I survived so-so.” "Aren't masterpieces very marketable?" "That's not my own thing anymore, it all belongs to the people who do business." "There seems to be a lot, there are almost twenty kinds. My wife, she likes to read Mr. Jinsheng's works, and she seems to have bought fourteen kinds." "..." As usual, when he heard that someone read this article happily, no matter whether it was out of honesty or entertainment, Mr. Jin Sheng always felt embarrassed suddenly and was speechless.Because I always think that the articles are just for the bookstore owners who are good at managing words and money. Regardless of the content, the more words, the more money. In this way, no one should treat it as a book. Read it.But it is not easy to deal with, that is, such articles always have a chance to get a good reputation out of accidents, so Mr. Jin Sheng finds it easier to be dumb in embarrassing situations. Mr. Jin Sheng stopped talking.The man said again: "Recently, those who open bookstores have made a fortune." Jin Shengjun said: "This is what it should be. They have money, so they can do this kind of thing. Now in Shanghai, there are quite a few people who depend on their big bosses for a living." "Why don't you shout the slogan 'Down'." Speaking of such a man who seemed to be a joke, the third child called daddy from above. Hearing the shout, the daddy raised his head and talked to the child on the third floor. "How about it?" "Second brother wants oranges, my mouth is dry." "There are no oranges to buy, they are expensive!" "Mom said to buy it." The man followed the child's tone, and said with a friendly air as a father, "Okay, okay, I'll go out and have a look." (Looking back, laughing with Jin Shengjun.) The child is really troublesome People, the second child is sick today, has a fever, dry mouth, and can’t get up, it’s not easy being a father.” Mr. Jin Sheng is hard to say anything.He saw the family situation of this college graduate, and he understood all the idiots about wanting a woman to fall in love with him.He thought, this person may also be his wife because of love. Seeing that this wife has such a good personality, she can take care of her four children and read new books at the same time.But he didn't understand why a college graduate, a professional person, and a family would be so chaotic.And men don't look like useless people, why can't a family be made more decent? The man, seeing that Mr. Jin Sheng didn't speak, thought that Mr. Jin Sheng was going upstairs to do something, so he stood sideways at the corner of the pavilion on the second floor to let Mr. Jin Sheng. "Let's talk about it later, as long as it doesn't hinder Mr. Jinsheng's work, since we live together, there will be plenty of time to talk." "Okay, let's talk about it later.... Carry the water yourself, don't you need a aunt?" "She seems to be too busy, so it's better to do it myself. The water is convenient here, haha, bye bye." At this time, Mr. Jin Sheng had already gone upstairs to the room. The man walked up the stairs and went straight to the kitchen water pipe.After a while, I heard the sound of pouring water into the pot. After a while, I heard the heavy sound of 拐橐橐橐 going up the stairs. Jin Shengjun sat at the table and heard the sound , seems to suddenly associate this voice with Thammasat University, it is very uncoordinated, and I feel that I am a useless person. In terms of dream life, I also feel that this is something I dare not take on, while others are brave enough to take on everything , should have a rich life called a tough guy. Because of the conversation on the stairs, the man bought oranges for the child from outside, and soon sat down on the edge of the bed in Jin Shengjun's room.Only then did he know that the man's surname is Lu and his wife's surname is Jin.After nearly one hour of almost childish talk, everyone seemed to be very suitable, especially Mr. Jin Sheng, who found many reasons to strengthen this new friendship from the man's side.Therefore, Mr. Jin Sheng knew that although the man obtained a certificate of graduation from the highest institution in the country, he is now only working as a clerk in an institution with a monthly salary of 60 yuan in Shanghai, and his wife has been working as a child's caregiver since she graduated from a women's normal school. Mother, year after year, son Yiduo only spends his days on being a mother.The man left, and Mr. Jin Sheng experienced the melancholy in this man's life in his imagination.I heard a man surnamed Lu say that he goes to the office every day, just copying some official documents, making monthly newspapers, and chatting with colleagues. An extremely ridiculous portrayal of life, speaking of men, makes Jin Shengjun feel different. A kind of fascination, which can only be answered with a wry smile. At this time, he heard the child next door crying sadly for some reason, as if the father was carrying the child around the room, and he felt that the parents were very pitiful.These days, he thought, were definitely not the life a couple of young people imagined after they came out of school.In the past season, or in the hearts of these two people, there is still a bright fire, hoping that all the flowers will bloom on the road they walk, and they are like ordinary young men and women who have not left school. This day is also easy to pass.But now, under the heavy pressure of their children, this person only knows the necessary trivial things in life all day long, and the life is mixed with dust, disease and noise. Instead, they seek the meaning of being a human being in the burden, and let the world take care of themselves in the ups and downs of the world. survived. At about ten o'clock, Mr. Jin Sheng remembered that he should do well what he had promised to the bookstore in the distance, so he had to go out to see if there was anything to write, so he went to a professor's friend. Friends are also two people. The so-called new-style couples are young people who fall in love from classmates and live together. Because of the fixed income of their occupations and the housewife's ability to manage the house, although the residence is not very luxurious, it does not lack a good atmosphere.When he got there, he chatted with his master, laughed, and each expressed his grievances. Finally, when he talked about his recent work, Mr. Jin Sheng said: "I came here because I wanted to write a romance novel. Wanzi, use it to do business with someone. Because I am not in love, I can’t write well, so today I deliberately refer to these trivial things in daily life, so that I can go home and write something.” My friend's wife, it's funny to hear that.She wiped off her husband’s undershirt that had just been cut on the bed, and said, “You can write, as a man, because you can’t get paid when you go to school, and when you come home, you tend to get angry and lose your temper. . . . This is what happened in this house when you came." The friend laughed and said: "It should be written, so my wife, who studied home economics at school, suggested that it belongs to house economics, but I don't care. I want to study in Japan, and I don't want a family or a relationship." The wife also laughed and said: "There are still people who tremble and say that they want to be a 'revolutionary officer', but social issues are the subject of this person's speeches in lecture halls all day long. Just write it down, use him as the background, and laugh at this era. This era is full of revolutionary love. It's ridiculous, whether life is serious or a game, it all depends on the person, I think we can neither be serious nor treat it as a game, so it's bad." Mr. Jin Sheng knew that these two people were childish, and when he heard the woman talking, he realized that there was another small disturbance in the family today before his future.He said, "Is it arguing again? I really want to know how two people who usually get along very well can make the air in a room tense." "The reason? Not paying salary is one of the reasons. The rest is the man's jealousy and suspicion..." The woman said while cutting the shoulders of the white poplin dress with scissors, and cut it off as if she was still treating the woman. Stirred, he said to Mr. Jin Sheng: "You are better, Jin Sheng. If you know a woman, you will not marry a woman. Any marriage is ridiculous." "I've heard many husbands tell me this, but it's all from the husband's mouth. In fact, it's impossible for such a man to ask him to divorce." "Being a husband is not an easy task, just like being an upper-class person: being an upper-class person is not just about wearing two suits like people in Shanghai, and being a husband is not enough to have love. I really believe this, but now I fully understand. There are real reasons why I advise people not to marry, but a man who has a woman, or a man without a woman, always thinks that a woman can live with him to be happy. People seem to really think that women are made of water, and that mouths are only for kissing, not for eating at the same time.” "Aren't you ashamed to scold women like this? What is your mouth for?" Because of the woman's answer, the scissors accidentally cut the gray line, and it was too late to withdraw her hand, "Hey, I won't do it, I won't do it," she laughed and shouted, grabbed the clothes and threw them into a suitcase behind the bed, then walked over to fetch cigarettes for Mr. Jin Sheng. "You only need to smoke one. A writer should know how to smoke. He can't smoke, so he has reason to be angry and complain, saying that the school class is decided not to go. If you don't believe it, ask him yourself." "I don't ask him. Even though he is angry, I think the person who gets angry is also very willing. Isn't that what you say?" When Mr. Jin Sheng said this, the friends and his wife laughed.The woman smiled, took out a pack of large white-shelled sunflowers from a drawer, and gave it to Mr. Jin Sheng. "Try this, it's Mishua brought from her village, the favor of three thousand li, not small." Mr. Jin Sheng peeled the sunflowers, saying that he might not be able to buy them in Shanghai. The friend said: "Jin Sheng, what good articles have you written recently?" When asked about the article, the writer, he smiled and remained silent. After a while, he said: "Recently, I only get angry at home. It seems that people with wives can get angry with their wives by excuses. I, a naked man, get angry with myself." You have to be angry." "Why don't you try?" the woman said. "It should be said that I'm lazy. I deliberately made trouble with myself and missed work. Recently, there has been something that seems to be very generous, saying that I will send fifty yuan in advance. It is the bookstore I just mentioned. They see through it. I bought everything from people like me, so I bought them with money. I told them that they had a hundred dollars to talk about. Who knew that the money would not come, but they first published an advertisement in the "Declaration" a few days ago. They are all so smart. , I don’t think this business will be done.” The friend said: "I still have to write. I'm tired of teaching, and I'm tired of being in love..." When the woman heard this, she turned to her friend tit for tat. "Then why don't you commit suicide? No one can keep you?" "I because..." "Bah!" In this way, the woman seemed to be really angry, and turned to the door, wanting to leave. "Why," the friend pulled the woman away, "Are you really going to show Jin Sheng these things like acting, so that he can go back and write them down in detail?" "You're happy now, but it's a pity you don't look in the mirror to see what you were like an hour ago." "Accidents will happen." "I don't know what that has to do with it." "This means that people have short tempers, and you keep everything in mind!" "If I can memorize it, or if we let Jin Sheng memorize it all day long, I don't know how many pages I have to memorize in a day." "Then always remember the moment when I was the best to you, and I won't be afraid." Because it is a habit, when it comes to this point, a friend must kiss a woman, and put his arms around the woman's waist, and the woman shakes her head to avoid it. "Are you really angry?" "Didn't you say that teaching is also boring, and love is also boring?" "That was before, it's better now." "At this moment, I'm bored, let me go, I have to go to work." "joke." "Jin Sheng, when you see this, remember it well, don't forget, write it down, and see how ridiculous men are." "Jin Sheng is also a man, so he has a share in scolding men." "But men don't have a part in this kind of behavior. You can't make me love Jinsheng." "This is a joke. You are crazy today. Jinsheng, listen, explain it to your face. If you want love, you are free to do what you like. Jinsheng is here, let me declare first, I am not like a despicable man who uses another A way to interfere in other people's affairs, as long as Jinsheng loves you." "Look at the excitement on your face, why bother? You are so great! I'm afraid your words are more than fifty times greater than your personality." The friend was speechless. When he saw the woman, he hugged her fiercely and didn't let go. "You say that very well! Isn't love selfish?" The woman said loudly and intentionally to Mr. Jin Sheng: "Listen, Jin Sheng, remember it carefully so that you don't forget it. The model of this era. The famous professor's argument. I said he can represent the era, but he doesn't admit it. Isn't it weird?" ... one It's close to a comedy rehearsal, Mr. Jin Sheng came here today, it's really like getting something.While peeling a lot of sunflowers, he watched his friends' love games and smiled from time to time, seeing the two young people acting like children.At first, he occasionally added a sentence or two of empty words to express his existence, but in the end, he just remembered all these carefully, and didn't say anything more at the side.What he thought of at the same time was the situation of the family of a man surnamed Lu that existed under another lifestyle. If this family represented the spring of love, then the family in the back building and front room where he lived could be said to have reached maturity. Tired, like people living in the autumn of praising each other and feeling depressed in the harvest. When I was about to leave, my friend said: "How is it? Are you going to eat here?" "Skipping meals because there's a more exciting situation in another family to watch than eating," he said. "Then you come to eat dumplings tomorrow, I will make dumplings tomorrow." "If I still want to see you tomorrow and get the materials I need from your behavior, then come here. The agreement is 20,000 characters, and I haven't picked up a pen for a long time. It seems that it is not easy to write!" "Are you serious? You won't return the article if you want it." "There's no other way, and it seems to be just so-so. But today, what I got here is extremely moving." woman said: "It's still touching. You haven't seen him throw things." friend said: "Then come and see it tomorrow. And see another person shed tears." Mr. Jin Sheng promised well, and walked down the winding stairs. When he reached the end of the stairs, he looked up and saw the two young couples leaning over the railing and looking down. He said goodbye to the two young men and went home.Take the No. 5 bus, transfer to Erian 1st Road, get home, go upstairs, look at the letters that the postman left on the railing of the stairs, and add the date of receipt of each letter, because all letters have to be answered.After reading the letter and sitting down, he remembered the situation at Shijian's friend's house. He felt empty and bored in his heart, and just wanted to sleep. He went to bed, although he was extremely tired but could not sleep.He didn't forget the deal with the bookstore, because after a week the rent would be due again, so he couldn't seriously slow down his work any longer.But today has obviously passed without doing anything. He saw other people making noise and loving each other, and seeing other people's children crying and getting sick, but he went back and forth by car.He is incapable of anything.He originally wanted to take a photo of what he saw in a day and write it down unedited, but his interest never made him hold the pen properly.He really shouldn't give up every minute of his time, but seeing that from morning to noon, and from noon to dark, there is no way to save this time.My mind is getting rougher and rougher, it seems that nothing can soften my emotions, and it is difficult to be infinitely interested in other people's affairs. In the evening, after dinner, Mr. Jin Sheng didn't go out.He was lying on the bed, neither reading nor doing anything, just lying down.Eleven o'clock is still far away when it's time to go to bed, the weather is getting hotter, and there seems to be the sound of mosquitoes buzzing. Hear the raving of the feverish child.The man's father still walked around the small room like a child in his arms, singing in a low voice.The mother seemed to be sewing under the lamp, with the sound of scissors and cloth. He got up and sat down at the table, opened the paper, and wrote a question. "parents:" …When I come back from my father’s work and enjoy the happiness of my family at night, I hold the youngest child in my arms, walk around the room, and sing songs to make this little soul quiet.The mother lowered her head to cut her clothes under the electric light of twenty-five candles. When she looked up, she saw the innocent round face of the child sleeping on the father's arm, smiling at the father with a very maternal smile. ...My father was so pitiful, he went to work far away during the day, and at the beginning of the month he brought home a monthly salary of sixty yuan, so he spread the money on the table, and the two of them came to discuss how to use the money for the next month. …The mother saw the thin face of the other child sleeping on the bed, and said, "Take two yuan to buy milk powder, and see how thin the third child's face is!" "No, just buy a can of oatmeal. I passed the Dali Company yesterday, and I saw the words 'Oatmeal fifty cents a can', which is 10 cents cheaper than here." "Then it's better to cook porridge." “Oatmeal is convenient.” ... So the mother stopped talking, and wrote on the shopping list, "Buy a can of Quaker Oatmeal, 50 cents." ... Except for the rent, newspaper and food on the list, every record was decided after such a dispute.At the end of the day, the total amount was totaled, and the total was fifty-three yuan and seven cents, and the total remaining money was six yuan and three cents. This money was included in the deposit and kept for the mother.The mother paid another three yuan for the car, and recorded the rest of the three yuan in "depository" on the account. ... The second son fell ill and had a fever like a rash.Because of the entanglement of illness, the office took a leave of absence, but he had no choice but to sit down at the desk again because of the deduction of salary.I made a lot of mistakes in the proposed official document, because I thought of my son who was sick, so I was so negligent.Even on a school official document, he wrote sentences such as "rash", "I want pears", and "I don't want to eat porridge". This father is very pitiful. ... After writing this, the father next door clasped the siding and said softly, "Does Mr. Jin Sheng do anything?" As if the father had read what he wrote, he put down the pen and said, "It's all right, I've had dinner, I'm bored, I'm just playing." "Aren't you busy, can you come over and talk?" "Okay. Come." Say yes, come here, and heard the woman over there tidy up things in a hurry, dragging the tables and chairs and said with a smile: "I forgot to ask my aunt to bring boiled water again." Mr. Jin Sheng stood by the stairs for a while because he heard others tidying up his things before he went to knock on the door. The man opened the door, and Mr. Jin Sheng saw everything in the room.Out of unexpected chaos, everything was obviously cleaned up, but there are bottles and cans displayed everywhere, a piece of clothing is hanging on the bookshelf, children's diapers are hanging on the wires of the electric lights, and the child's diapers are hung on the wires of the electric lights, and the child's diapers that the father carried under his waist when he went out The black leather bag was also embarrassingly found by Mr. Jin Sheng on the toilet seat.After the host introduced the woman to Mr. Jin Sheng, he gave him the only wicker chair in the room. The man sat on the low wooden stool where the children sat, and the woman stood on the bench full of bottles and cans of books. Beside the writing desk, fetch cigarettes for Mr. Jin Sheng.You can smoke, you can wipe the fire. "No smoking, thank you." The woman laughed and said: "No smoking, I remembered that Mr. Jin Sheng once said on ×× that he does not smoke." So the cigarettes were still put in the drawer, and the woman said that there was no boiling water until the aunt came back, so she sat on the side of the bed and stroked the sick child's forehead. The eldest girl and the third girl first sat on the small stool in the corner of the room as if flipping through an old picture book. As soon as Mr. Jin Sheng entered the room, he followed his father to stand up, and then sat down again. "Reading?" Jun Jin asked when he saw the girl. The mother said: "Looking at the pictures and playing, but not reading. Yuyu, this is the person I told you about the good rabbit story!" The girl, upon hearing this, smiled shyly at Mr. Jin Sheng.Suddenly asked Mr. Jin Sheng: "Where is your sister?" Mr. Jin Sheng was at a loss at first, but later remembered that it was because the book mentioned the situation in his family, so the girl remembered her sister, and hurriedly said: "My sister is in Beijing. Have you been to Beijing?" "No. I grew up in Tianjin." The man said: "Yuyu was born in Tianjin, because her mother was teaching in Nankai at that time." "Oh, is Mr. Jin still teaching in Nankai?" "I have taught for two semesters." The woman said while she was arranging the thin quilt of the sick child, and after a while, she said, "There are also a lot of people in Nankai Province." "Mr. Jin is a high school teacher! The female high school teacher seems to be not as good as before." "Yes, at that time everyone was still writing ancient prose, once a week, and there were prizes for doing well. It's been eight years." At this point, the woman seemed to recall something from the old days, and said to her man: "I heard people say that ×× is also the director of the Normal University, has six children, and is divorced from ×××.” "Does Ms. XX know each other?" Because Mr. XX Jin Sheng also knew each other, he asked the wife. "I was in the same class as XX, and I lived in the same dormitory for two years." "I don't know anything about her." "Strange too." The woman said, as if comparing herself.She said, "There are six children, and the older one is three months older than me, Yuyu, who is usually very good, but who knows that they suddenly broke up." The man, silent, then said: "This is a common thing. If you don't want to take responsibility, you break up." woman said: "Where is the reluctance to take responsibility? It's not a matter of responsibility at all. I know her, and she has always been a little different. To be honest, it is precisely because of the responsibility of the first child that there are five other children." "It's really not easy to solve this matter. I don't know what to do with those children?" "What about the child? He has money, and she has money, so it's easy to handle." The last words were the words of the man. He is someone who has other emotions in this matter, and Mr. Jin Sheng has seen it.He thought, did the two maintain their responsibilities, or did they not break up because they had no money?It's really not easy to understand. Because of the short-term silence, Mr. Jin Sheng noticed everything about women.This family seems to be more interesting than the university professor's family. This is what Mr. Jin Sheng only knew after seeing this woman. ... The conversation lasted for nearly two o'clock, and Mr. Jin Sheng saw that the third girl was already dozing off in the corner, so he said goodbye. He returned to his room, intending to write down what he had just talked about and what he had seen in an incomplete article.But for some reason, I can’t write any more, and for no reason, I only think that the child next door will die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.What he continued to write was: ...the child died, and the mother waited beside the small corpse, waiting for the father to buy a small coffin to come back for burial. He utterly failed, went to bed, and waited for tomorrow.Waiting for tomorrow, or the child really died, or the money came from elsewhere, or... Tomorrow must come, in fact, the only thing is that the aunt used the feather duster to blow ashes with her strength without hesitation. written in 1929
