Because this old woman is unkempt and delirious, she should have Alzheimer's disease. No one could find out why, and they didn't know where her home was, so they simply took her back to the rental house and asked the landlord to give her something to eat or take a look. doctor.

Who knew that the landlord's expression changed when he saw the old man.

The landlord closed the door and refused to let the old woman in: "The house at the end of the village, where are you going to send it? Don't pass by this way, it's bad luck."

Zhang Linlin was a little annoyed: "Why are you talking like that, old man?"

The landlord said with a sullen face: "If you insist on taking her with you, I won't rent the house to you!"

The director kindly gave him a sigh of relief, and the landlord finally calmed down. He sneered: "I'm fine with this. She committed a crime. God blames her. The whole family died, and she was the only one left."

At this time, the old woman suddenly went crazy, and went over to pinch the landlord ferociously: "You are dead! You are dead! Your whole family is dead! My grandson is not dead! My grandson is fine! My grandson has come back to visit me!"

The landlord spit, and closed the door with a "click".

The crew was embarrassed for a while, the old lady was still cursing, the director asked someone to take her home, but several staff members didn't dare, Lu Xi said, "I'll go."

Director: "Call some people to accompany you."

"Just chat and go with me."

Director: "Call Kong Xuan and others to go together, it's better if there are more people."

Kong Xuan said with disgust: "She stinks to death, so I won't go."

Zhang Linlin and others condemned Kong Xuan with the same hatred, saying that Kong Xuan was cold-blooded and merciless, and then Zhang Linlin volunteered to go with Lu Xi.

Zhang Linlin went up to help the old woman, but was pushed away.

The old man's nails haven't been cut for a long time, and the dirt in the nail crevices is dark. She is so strong and her nails are so sharp that she almost scratched Zhang Linlin to bleed.

The old woman was still staring at her coldly, her voice was hoarse and piercing, and she pointed at her nose and scolded: "You lose money! Bad luck! Why don't you fall to your death outside! What's the use of a girl reading so many books? Let you marry me!" You are not married yet! I will put you in a pigsty for a day tomorrow!"

Zhang Linlin froze in place. She was cheerful, lively and outgoing. She was spoiled and spoiled. She had never been scolded like this before. She almost cried for a while.

Lu Xi said, "Zhang Linlin, go back."

Zhang Linlin gritted her teeth, saw Kong Xuan smiling, and felt that it would be too shameful to go back, so she had to bite the bullet and give it away with Lu Xi.

Lu Xi held the old man's arm, helping him to walk. When the old lady saw Lu Xi, her face was like flipping through a book, and she disappeared for a moment. Then she was mean and sharp, like a kind and kind old man: "My grandson came home to see me yesterday. gone."

Smiling very happy, like every old man who shows off his children: "The child is so filial, he said not to buy things, it's a waste of money, he insists on buying, he is promising, he is studying in university, undergraduate, and I want to go to graduate school! Now I am a big leader and manage a lot of people."

She nagged and showed off all the way in a kind way. Zhang Linlin followed behind Lu Xi, and she still had some lingering fears, but the old man is so kind now. Just now, she wanted to have intermittent seizures, and she couldn't do it. She took two steps forward. , Who knew that the old man looked over with a look, that look was like a sharp knife, so cold that people were frightened, and he spit out mean words: "I don't see a lot of money, you still have the face to come back!"

Zhang Linlin wanted to scold her mother for a moment, and almost walked away, but she walked so far, the alleys were full of twists and turns, and she was unfamiliar with the place, so she came all the time, so she just followed Lu Xi.

The old man's home is at the end of the village. There is a single house with white walls and tiled roofs. It is in disrepair for a long time, dilapidated, and occupies a small area. She is old, but in good shape. She is approaching the door. Go quickly: "Look, my grandson is waiting for me at the door! Oh, he bought something again, and he said don't buy it, don't buy it, this kid..."

Zhang Linlin said: "Where is there anyone? Is this old lady not very good-minded?"

Lu Xi saw the old man staggering back, and there was a person standing at the door of her house, it was Si Yun.

Trembling, she took out the key from her pocket and opened the door. It took a long time for the keyhole to be aligned. Si Yun stood alone beside him, with his head lowered.

"It's my grandma," he said.

The door "creaked" to shake off the dust, and when it opened, the door sounded like teeth. The old woman entered the door with a cane. I went to pick your favorite water chestnut, and I will steam it for you right away."

"Okay." Si Yun said.

Zhang Linlin shuddered: "This old woman is really... as if there really is someone..."

The old man touched his pocket and took out more than a dozen water chestnuts one after another.

Zhang Linlin had never seen this before, so she asked curiously, "What is this?"

"There are quite a few water chestnuts by the pool behind the village. Water chestnuts, also called ghost horn bodhi, have hard shells and delicious meat," Si Yun said.

Zhang Linlin couldn't hear what Si Yun said, so Lu Xi said, "It's water chestnut, it's edible."

Zhang Linlin said with a smile: "Nature is amazingly crafted, this fruit looks like a work of art, and it's actually edible."

The old man had already entered the kitchen. She lit a fire, burned wood, and cooked by herself. The kitchen smelled musty, oily, smokey, and rancid. Zhang Linlin couldn't bear it and stood outside the door. Lu Xi watched from the side. The old man moved slowly. , Cook the rice with a difficult fire, then wash the water chestnut and put it in the rice for steaming.

She was so lonely and unkempt, cooking alone, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her hands were trembling while holding a firewood. Zhang Linlin suddenly felt sorry for her, but because the old woman scolded her when she saw her, she could only say to Lu Xi: "Shall we go and help her?"

Lu Xi was unmoved and saw Si Yun following her back and forth. Although the old man was doing hard work, he was happy in his heart and kept saying, "Go sit and play next to me. There is candy in the cupboard. Grandma left it for you." For many years."

With red eyes, Si Yun stood by and talked to her.

It took about two hours for the rice to be cooked. The dish was pickled cabbage dug out from the jar, steamed a few sausages that had been kept for an unknown period of time, and they were so dark that it was hard to know if they could be eaten. She took four Bowls, handing out tremblingly.

Zhang Linlin sat on the stool that had been cleaned several times, looked at the food on the table, wondering if she would eat it or not, but the old man had already served it to her.

She was still hesitating, and slammed down with a pair of chopsticks: "He grabbed Ayun's food again! Have you fed the pigs? Have you fed the chickens! No matter how old or young, you still have to eat at the table! You snatched my brother's place." Already!"

Si Yun stood awkwardly behind Zhang Linlin, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhang Linlin was really beaten to tears at this moment, she shook her hands and left angrily, shouting: "Lu Xi! Let's go! I'm going to be beaten to death and scolded to death! What kind of crazy!"

The old woman scolded bitterly: "How shameless, how shameless? You know how to hook up with men at a young age. If you leave this door today, don't even think about coming back!"

She peeled off the water chestnut again and put it in front of Si Yun, smiling kindly: "Ah Yun hasn't been home for a long time, this is Ah Yun's favorite food, grandma peeled it for you, eat it quickly."

Si Yun's eyes choked with red eyes: "Shall we save a few for my sister, she likes to eat."

The old man sighed: "Your child is kind-hearted. You are about to go to college. She is lucky, so she sent such a small amount of money back? I pulled her up with shit and urine. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, she Why don't you think about you, such a small amount of money is not enough to sign up!"

Si Yun: "Now there is a loan policy, I can apply for a loan without interest, my sister is also working hard, she is only one year older than me..."

The old man started swearing again, Zhang Linlin was angry and frightened, and begged Lu Xi to leave quickly, Lu Xi and Liao Qing looked at each other, then at Si Yun, and finally went out with Zhang Linlin.

Zhang Linlin rushed out of the door with her shoulders in her arms, and looked at the house hummingly: "The landlord is right, it's so fierce." She was a little scared at the end, "She seemed to be talking to something just now... It was me sitting In that position, Lu Xi, do you feel..."

Lu Xi: "Don't scare yourself, Alzheimer's disease, that's it, just think about it."

Zhang Linlin finally gave up the scary thought. She was brave at first, but the old man was too strange. She looked like she really saw someone there and was talking to him.

Lu Xi and his party sent the old lady home, and when they got back, they saw the landlord sitting on a small bench by the door.

"Send it back?"

"Ah."

"This family...is not very good." The landlord sighed, "How should I put it...Every family has its own difficult scriptures, but it can't be too much. You see, she is alone and has no one to take care of her. , but she is amazing."

Lu Xi: "Can you tell me what happened to their family? I think she is very pitiful. She doesn't know how to live. I thought I could help."

Landlord: "There are government subsidies, subsistence allowances, starvation, a lot of age, no one at home, and not so much money, and she is still saving money for her grandson to marry a wife." He lowered his voice and whispered "But his grandson is dead. The village committee went to claim the body. She didn't believe it, and she didn't recognize it. The body was not claimed by relatives, and there was no relatives to help. No one would do such a bad thing. It was cremated outside, even the ashes It's all lost."

Lu Xi: "How did her grandson die?"

"There was a fight. The child worked in Shangyuan, so she went to the imperial capital for some reason. An accident happened in the imperial capital. She died on the spot and was cremated in the imperial capital. The perpetrator was never found, and no one paid for it. Oh, but she still There is a granddaughter..." He snorted softly, "The granddaughter hasn't come back for many years, and I don't know what happened. Some people say she is dead, and some people say that she has developed and doesn't recognize her family... Anyway, she won't come back. She has a relationship with the family. not good."

"Where's your son and daughter-in-law?"

"The son died a long time ago, and the daughter-in-law, hey, ran away. During that time, she scolded her daughter-in-law all day long, and the voice was so sharp that the neighbors could hear her, and she said suspiciously that her only use was to give birth to a son. Si Yun is more than two years old, and her sister is three or four years old. That girl is so pitiful. I don’t even remember her name. Her grandma always calls her “losing money”. She looks like her mother, and Si Yun looks like her father. We Originally thought that this girl would not live long, because before her two twin sisters both fell ill and died. At that time, their parents were working outside and took Si Yun and his sister to raise the older twins at home. Their family valued boys over boys. Daughter, the two girls died for more than a year without any news, but the parents went home and saw that the children were gone! Si Yun's father was so angry that his grandfather also passed away in the same year, and his mother ran away half a year later. There is only one grandma left to support the two children, fortunately his parents stayed at home with some money for living, Si Yun’s older sister dropped out of school to help at home after graduating from elementary school, and went to work outside when she was older.”

"Dropped out of elementary school?" Lu Xi was a little surprised, "Isn't it nine-year compulsory education?"

The landlord shook his head and laughed: "If you don't study, the school can still pressure you to study? The family is so hard, the older child always has to suffer, let alone she is a girl."
