Yes, who said that? I forgot who told him in his ear that the little girl living next door was deaf and mute.
He did pass by a few times and always saw the little girl squatting silently at the door with her knees in her arms, looking a little not very smart.
Silly.
He glared so fiercely at the group of boys that they were already trembling with fear. Unexpectedly, the little girl dared to look back blankly.
The bowl in his hand was almost out of temperature. He urged: "Put it in quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold soon. I stewed it."
Shen Ruomian didn't move, feeling a little uneasy.
The man laughed angrily and forced it into her hand.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. I don't want to go in again."
That's what she thought too.
This was Aunt He's intention. She didn't want to give up more without giving face. She took it and said thank you for the chicken soup. The door was mercilessly closed.
Chen Dong was fortunate that he closed his hand quickly and was not caught.
But looking at the closed door, I felt worried.
What should I do? It seems to have left a bad impression on others.
How can this be undone?
She hadn't seen anyone back for a long time, and Qiu Jinlan was about to go out with a cane to take a look, when Shen Ruomian came in with some warm chicken soup.
In front of the old man, she always put down her bad mood well and said with a smile: "This is the chicken soup sent by Aunt He. Grandma, please try it."
"Why did I hear a man's voice just now? He was quite young." Her eyesight was not good, but her ears were still sharp.
Shen Ruomian took the chicken soup out of a small bowl and placed it in front of her table.
"Aunt He's son is back. I should call him Brother Dongdong."
Looking back now, I didn't feel familiar when I heard this name. It was really stupid.
Qiu Jinlan was particularly happy today and talked a lot, talking about trivial things in the streets and alleys, but Shen Ruomian loved to listen, her eyes were full of longing, and she would add a few words from time to time to add to the atmosphere.
At ten o'clock, she helped the old man go to bed, turned on the light at the door, and quietly moved the chairs and stools out.
Just like she did when she was a child, sitting at the door doing homework, Ah Huang curled up at her feet to keep her company.
The vacation was still long, so she was not doing her homework very quickly. Her phone rang a few times, and a few messages popped up. After comparing her draft answers, she copied them onto the test paper, and then she picked them up and read them.
Xu Jinzhou sent a few photos, showing that they were from Haicheng Airport. In the photos were the backs of two other people, and she looked at one of them in a daze. Behind them were several photos of scenery taken outside a high-rise hotel.
There is a message behind the photo: "Shen Ruomian, where is your home?"
Shen Ruomian still couldn't help it, so she kept the photo and hid it in a very secret place.
She said the name of her town.
Unexpectedly, the young man first replied with an angry emoticon, and then said: "If you can't find it in the search, you might as well just send me the location."
"What are you doing?"
In the hotel, Xu Jinzhou was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Jiang Rang next to him was not even idle when he was traveling. The scenery outside did not attract him, only the book in his hand.
After hearing the young man curse something, he asked casually: "Aren't you satisfied with the climate here? You are so angry."
Xu Jinzhou threw away his cell phone and grabbed the pillow next to him, looking as if he was beyond love and saying nothing.
Jiang Rang thought of something and took out his phone.
After Shen Ruomian rejected Xu Jinzhou's request once, she just put down her phone when the familiar avatar sent another message.
This time she clicked it without thinking anything.
A very common greeting, just asking her if she got home safely.
"Arrived, thank you."
Jiang Rang didn't know what was wrong, but he always felt that Shen Ruomian was far away from him, but it was just a moment of doubt. He was just worried about Shen Ruomian that night, and he sincerely hoped that this girl would be well.
Shen Ruomian had no idea. She knew that Jiang Rang had always regarded her as a friend, so she knew that if this relationship was broken, there would be nothing between the two of them.
Although she didn't know when she would be able to let go, she hoped to see him more where she could see him.
As for how long he can watch, it should be the moment he gets happiness.
Shen Ruomian had never made a wish for his seventeenth birthday, but it suddenly came to him at this moment. I hope it's not too late.
——
Qiu Jinlan had an old problem and suffered from severe high blood pressure. At night, Shen Ruomian forced herself to calm down. She first called 120, but she was embarrassed to disturb Aunt He next door in the middle of the night.
The person who opened the door was actually Chen Dong. He seemed to be still asleep. He had headphones hanging on his ears and the game interface was still on his phone.
"What's wrong?"
Although she really didn't want to talk to him, grandma couldn't delay. She begged: "My grandma is sick, but the ambulance can't get into the alley. Can you help me carry her out?"
She came out in a hurry, even wearing the wrong shoe, her hair was still disheveled, and her face was covered in sweat.
Without saying a word, Chen Dong took away the headphone cord, put his phone into his pocket, and followed her.
The ambulance arrived in time. When it arrived, almost all the people around it were woken up. They looked in the direction of the Shen family and knew it. The old lady from the Shen family didn't know that this was the first time she had entered the hospital this year. Some people asserted that If he doesn't survive the next year, he will be pinched by the people next to him and told to stop talking.
Aunt He and his wife were sleeping deeply. They had to be carried out and put into the ambulance. If they couldn't catch up, she could only send a message to Chen Dong to take good care of Grandma Qiu.
He stood at the door for a while, shouting to those who were watching the excitement to go back quickly, and after saying that, he closed the door of Shen's courtyard.
Uncle He was wearing pajamas and standing at the door of his house calling Shen Huai.
"Did you pick up?"
"Answer the call, my phone number has been blocked."
He hung up the phone, became angry, and walked around with his hands on his waist.
Having been neighbors here for so many years, everyone has almost figured out what kind of person Shen Huai is. Since the mistress's family has disappeared, this home has become no longer a home. It doesn't matter whether the young ones are old or not. I heard that there are families who marry into a family in Jingzhou. Mr. Qian, when I heard this year that I was going to take Shen Huaimian back to school in Jingzhou, everyone thought he had changed his temperament. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't change his temper and eat shit.
What else could Aunt He say, she could only be anxious and urge Chen Dong to reply from time to time.
When the doctor said that luckily it was delivered in time, Shen Ruomian was relieved. The piece of wall she grabbed with her hand left a deep mark.
Chen Dong was behind him, looking deeply.
Shen Ruomian could still handle the expenses, and the money Shen Huai temporarily gave her was just enough.
It was three o'clock in the morning and the hospital was not allowed to make loud noises, so she hid in the emergency passage and made a phone call.
Grandma's illness this time was not a trivial matter. She had to be hospitalized for several days for observation, and she simply couldn't afford the subsequent expenses.
Shen Huai's phone number was called over and over again, and she tried calling WeChat again. She was picked up five seconds after it rang, which was faster than expected.
