Chapter 16

Ye Han held a black umbrella and stood quietly at the entrance of the alley, silent.

The first time I saw her was on a rainy day, I didn't expect that the second time I saw her was still a rainy day, but the wind was stronger, and the rain was also stronger.She was still squatting in the same place, still holding the broken umbrella, still lowering the eaves of the umbrella very humblely, and there was still a basket of small, clean potatoes in front of her, blown by the wind as always, Hit by the rain.

In Ye Han's eyes, she was like a flame that was so weak that it could go out at any time in the cold wind and rain. However, sometimes the flame was clearly about to go out, but a force came out of nowhere to help. She holds on!
"It's really like my grandma!" The grandma's figure merged with the mother-in-law on the opposite side, and Ye Han, who had already burst into tears at some point, murmured, looking at her in ecstasy.The look of longing mixed with sadness made people want to let go of everything and take her into his arms to comfort her wholeheartedly. King Zhou You must have seen such a voice before he lit the beacon fire.

Regardless of the cold mask soaked in tears, Ye Han took off the obstructing sunglasses, and walked forward quickly. Suddenly, she stopped, and in front of her eyes, two middle-aged women holding umbrellas sneaked up to her mother-in-law. In front of me, it looks like I want to buy potatoes.

Ye Han approached them calmly, and stood not far from them, staring closely at them, his inexplicable intuition told her that these two women had malicious intentions.

"How do you sell potatoes?" One of the women asked in local dialect mixed with an unknown accent. Ye Han knew immediately that this was a foreign woman, and she must have been here for a long time.

When she heard that someone wanted to buy potatoes, her mother-in-law immediately raised her umbrella and stood up shakily. Maybe it was because she had been squatting for a long time, or maybe because the wind and rain were a bit strong. She staggered for a while before she managed to stand still. The two women faced each other But he turned a blind eye and showed no intention of stepping forward to help. Instead, there was a sense of gloating in his eyes.

Ye Han stopped walking out, but his eyes looking at the two women became colder.

The mother-in-law stood firm, but could not stand up straight. Her back was more stooped than the average old man. Her short gray hair, which reached her ears, was pinned with a thin black hairpin. At this time, it had been disturbed by the wind and rain and was scattered in an awkward manner. With.On a face full of wrinkles, a pair of gray eyes opened hard, trying to see the blurry world in front of them more clearly.

Forcing a smile, the mother-in-law held the umbrella with difficulty in one hand, pointed at the potatoes with the other, then raised her palm and spread out her five fingers for a gesture.

"Fifty cents a catty?"

Granny nodded.

The two women glanced at each other subconsciously, as if confirming something, and then the woman just continued: "Okay, give me a pound." Her tone was very refreshing.

The mother-in-law grinned, exposing her gums.She squatted down tremblingly again, first struggled to hold the umbrella between her face and shoulders, then took out a worn but well-folded plastic bag from her body, and began to carefully pick out the potatoes, picking out the cleanest and plump ones. Those went into the bag.

She didn't see that the woman in front of her, who had been silent all this time, took out a red banknote and secretly stuffed it into the hand of the bargaining woman.

The mother-in-law put down the rusty scale, struggled to hand a pound of potatoes to the woman, and then watched the woman hand over a hundred-dollar bill, feeling at a loss.

"What are you doing standing around, looking for money!" The woman was very anxious, urging in a low voice, and at the same time pushed down the umbrella on her head.

The mother-in-law reached out to the hundred yuan hesitantly, but someone was faster than her!

A soft and slender hand grabbed the banknote first.

The woman panicked for a moment and looked up in fear at the strange woman who suddenly appeared in front of her: "You...what do you want to do? I..."

"Snapped!"

Amidst the extremely clear and crisp slaps, fragments of red counterfeit money were flying, and most of the pieces that were not afraid of being broken were sticking wetly to the woman's drooling, rapidly swollen, extremely ugly face.

The woman was stunned by Ye Han's unhesitating slap. She covered her cheek in fear, even losing her umbrella, and was trembling so hard that she couldn't even utter a single word.

The other woman next to her was also stunned. After a while, she finally realized that she stretched out her hand and scratched Ye Han's face, shouting, "You hit someone..."

"Snapped!"

"beat……"

"Snapped!"

"save……"

"Snapped!"

Ye Han didn't talk nonsense, every word a woman said, she slapped her.

With her current strength of 11 points, it is equivalent to a strong young man shaking this slap.

The woman was really scared. Her mouth was full of blood, and several teeth had fallen out. She had never met such a person who threw slaps on her face arrogantly, without any hesitation, without any hesitation. as a result of.

Not daring to utter a single word, not even daring to make a single movement, the two women were like lambs stared at by ferocious beasts, standing frozen in the cold wind and rain, allowing the rain to seep into their clothes.

Ye Han frowned and glanced at them with disgust: "Get out."

As if receiving an amnesty, the two women turned around and fled in a panic, not daring to leave a dissatisfaction or a harsh word.

In the cold wind and rain, the small commotion in this corner did not cause any ripples. As the two women fled, calm was restored here.

The mother-in-law stood aside and shivered slightly. She didn't know whether it was because it was too cold or because she was frightened by the scene just now.

Ye Han walked up to her and hugged her gently.

The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment. She couldn't remember how many years no one had hugged her. In the few remaining memories, the last person who hugged her was her son.

She remembered very clearly that on that day, her son was about to leave with the army. Before he left, he hugged her tightly and said loudly in her ear: "Mom, after the Japanese devils are driven away, I will come back to honor her son." You, you must wait for me!"

She firmly remembered her son's words, and kept waiting, waiting, and waiting. She survived the hard times, but her son never came back, until one day, a soldier rushed to her After taking out an iron plate and a piece of white paper with the address written on it, he hurried away without leaving a word...

"Mother-in-law..." The memory was interrupted by a soft cry like an oriole, and when she raised her head, she was stunned.

Ye Han hugged her for a long time before letting go. This should make her mother-in-law warmer, right?She took off her mask, smiled, and shouted like a granddaughter coquettishly talking to her grandma: "Mother-in-law, I want to buy potatoes."

This smile brought the April day in the world, which was bright, warm, brilliant and dazzling, as if it brought the warm sunshine of spring directly to the bottom of people's hearts.

Looking at the pretty face in front of her, the mother-in-law also smiled, and the wrinkles on her face bloomed like the most beautiful chrysanthemum in late autumn.

She pointed to a basket of potatoes, then pointed to Ye Han, and then made a gesture of sending it with both hands, saying: "Ah, ah, ah, ah."
