red dust under the lamp

After the operation, the woman has to stay in the clinic for a few days.

Those women who come to infusion, injection, cupping and dispensing medicine come and go, most of them are holding their children. When the children start to cry, the women will stretch out their hands to pinch their little faces lovingly.

But the mother of the child often turned her face away to keep the child away from her dirty hands. In this way, she didn't pinch a single child in the afternoon, and she lay down with sympathy, wiggling her fingers and counting. I have a few days left to leave.

Wang Da carried round fruit candies in his pocket. Children who went to and from school came to eat the sugar pills. After eating them, they turned around and lied that they had lost them. If they wanted to get another one, he would give them fruit candies. They knew it was not sugar pills, but There is nothing wrong with eating one more candy, and I left happily.

The woman lay there watching the children making noise, her wound ached with envy.She looked at those fierce mothers, saw the children being scolded by the mothers, and her eyes became dim, as if she had a lot of loving candies in her pocket, but she had nowhere to sprinkle them.

As soon as Ning Jue opened the curtain and walked in, the woman smiled and threw the excess love of the afternoon on Ning Jue: "Here you come? What do you say when the police call you?"

"I said the Xie family would give me some help." Ning Jue cut the long story short, sat down on the stool, and handed over a jar of porridge.

"Is it still about the nanny?"

"Lie down." Ning Jue lacked interest and emotion, dragged the stool away and left.

The Xie family did talk about the nanny. The Xie family is really rich. They have [-] yuan a month, including food and lodging. They also hired an aunt who sweeps the floor and cooks. Basically, they used this money to raise a special caretaker for Xie Yichen. An idler—but she, an idler, scolded Xie Yichen not long ago, and Secretary Zhang listened in. I don't know why she still made this decision.

A roomful of police officers eagerly advised her to agree quickly. Xie’s family is a place where people talk and laugh, and there are no casual people. If she goes there to be educated, she might be picked up by some big shot, and she will rise to the top from then on—of course, these are all nonsense. , the most important thing is to solve her employment. Ms. Xie heard that she is a vagrant, and she regrets that she wasted her youth on the streets, and she will be picked up by some wild boy at that time—this is also nonsense.

The most important thing is that Ning Jue sometimes steals things, or blackmails passers-by, or defrauds men, doing all kinds of worthless things. The new little policeman doesn't know that Ning Jue is evil at heart, and only thinks that he is helping Ning Jue , persuaded them with extra care: "700 yuan, and now the office is less than [-] yuan, and I don't even have it. If they accept men, I will sign up immediately."

The old monk Ning Jue entered meditation, and no one would persuade her to let go until Secretary Zhang came.

Secretary Zhang came here on a special trip this time: "If you don't accept this help, then I'll give you a dozen cash, so you can accept it. You are the savior of Xie's family. If you don't care about your benefactor, you will be laughed at if you tell it. of."

Ning Jue tilted her head: "If you let me know that there are benefits in catching someone from under the car, I will push her downstairs and pick her up when I serve you Miss Xie..."

She doesn't want to go.What are you doing there?She was in a mess, rubbing her fingers, almost rubbing off a layer of skin, her fingertips were red, Secretary Zhang said: "I know you don't do such things, if you hold back, how can you say it? Others can't see it." Come out, I see you're a good man."

"There are so many good people on the street, you go, and I will say that you have helped me, and your reputation will not be damaged."

"Actually, Ms. Xie wants to see you."

Ning Jue's slender fingers moved together in the dark, in order to prevent Secretary Zhang from prying into her mind.Ms. Xie recognized her?Or, just to meet her politely?What is she afraid of?She made the decision calmly and has not regretted it so far. Why is it wrong now?

In a flash, she looked up at Secretary Zhang. This polite 30-year-old man smiled gently and restrainedly, and then she hummed: "That's fine, but I won't accept your things."

She used a long period of thought to deduce who she was.But she can't say for sure, she only knows that she is a weird person, because she is worried that she is not the most favorite child, she runs away, afraid that if she learns to dance, she will become the shadow of Ms. Xie, and she will make every move. She was also tied up, and there was no other option—but now she really wanted to meet, the only person in her life who was closest to her mother, who almost became her mother. Although she had only been together for a few hours, she He's obsessed with being chosen.

Love, hate, anger and ignorance in the world, she looks around in a daze, she is ignorant, hates and wants to be detached, her mind is twisted, 15-year-old body/body, 15-year-old soul, precocious and 5000 years old, she is still at a loss, she just walks away Counting one step at a time, he made a determined effort to show his weirdness frankly and wait for Ms. Xie's criticism.

Ms. Xie was sitting under the huge oil painting, comparing her youth with her current aging—but what the hell is aging now?She has a good face and an elegant expression, with no more than a few wrinkles at most, just like walking out of a TV series, her whole body is full of jewels, just like before.The coat Ms. Xie wore in the orphanage was worth [-] marks, but now a bracelet is worth countless.

Ning Jue sat down opposite. Ms. Xie didn't recognize her, but held her hand very seriously, and thanked her very affectionately: "Thank you for your brave actions and saving our family."

The words "our family" reassured Ning Jue, and the most important thing was Xie Yichen. Ning Jue's original decision was right.

"You're welcome, I heard that you wanted to thank me, so I came here, so don't bother. Now that I've finished thanking you, I'm leaving." Ning Jue wanted to take his hands out of Ms. Xie's warm and delicate hands.

"You are a girl and you have no family. What do you do for a living?" Ms. Xie grabbed her tightly again.

The words "I don't care about you" suddenly became speechless. Ning Jue remembered the dead mouse she had thrown on Ms. Xie's car. Can't say no.

"I know that girls like you are very strong, but Yichen said that she was very impressed with you that day, and she likes you very much... This is the first time since her accident, her attitude is more positive, just treat it as helping us, okay? ?” Ms. Xie spoke earnestly.

But Ning Jue understood what Xie Yichen meant, and Ms. Xie herself didn't care whether she stayed or not.

Didn't recognize it at all.

Ning Jue's mood suddenly calmed down, the scales in his mind were shaking from side to side, a few weights were stacked up, there were scales in his life, and the pointer was faltering on various scales.Suddenly the balance settled down, set at 700 yuan.

"700 yuan?" she confirmed.

"Yes, food and shelter are included."

"I don't live here, and I don't know how to serve people. I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll leave."

Ms. Xie was choked by her tone, and Ning Jue also realized that she was suddenly not speaking softly enough, and added with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Ms. Xie's face turned from cloudy to sunny, and she agreed repeatedly. Secretary Zhang came over in due course and took out the draft contract.

contract?Ning Jue suddenly remembered about the contract of sale... Yang Bailao?Her mind was complicated and she frowned: "I don't like this. Whether you give me money or not, your conscience has the final say. If I do something bad, isn't the police station very close?"

"Okay, after these things, you talk to Secretary Zhang, and you two discuss how to do it." Ms. Xie saw that the dust had settled, she pulled up her skirt and stood up, and she had already walked out.

Ning Jue looked back at Secretary Zhang: "I'll come back in two days. My friend is sick these two days."

"When are you coming?"

"next week."

"I'll pay you this month's salary in advance." Secretary Zhang took the initiative to mention it, and Ning Jue took the money and smiled: "You saw me scolding Miss Xie that day, why did you let me take care of her?"

"You didn't come to take care of her, you came to stimulate her."

"Tsk, what do you mean? You see Miss Xie is upset, wishing she died early?"

"No, she has been hiding in the room, and we dare not say harsh words. You are a benefactor, and she can listen to you after you said harsh words that day. You left that day, and she came out to eat. This is the first time since the accident .”

"Oh, I just scolded her to come out to eat, I understand." Ning Jue understood abstractly. Secretary Zhang couldn't laugh or cry, but in a blink of an eye she realized that Ning Jue was joking. I don't know who took care of her when she was wandering on the street, and she looked so delicate.

There is melancholy in her eyes, but her expression is clear. On the whole, it is the expression that girls of fifteen or sixteen years old often have, and it is not special at all.

Secretary Zhang suddenly said, "Do you want to go upstairs and see her first?"

"You have to read it sooner or later, another day." Ning Jue tightened the button and put the money away, and glanced upstairs with a not very relaxed expression.
