I leaned my back against the wall, took a few breaths, and slowly looked into the room.
The tungsten lamps used in rural areas were not very powerful, only seven or eight degrees. Under the dim and depressing light, Grandma Xiao Tang put her hand into her mouth and adjusted the position of her dentures.
They probably didn't notice me, but soon, the sack of clothes hit the bottom, and almost all the layers of clothes were cut open by scissors.
Grandma Xiao Tang was muttering something in a low voice, but I couldn't hear it clearly. At this time, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind me.
"Xiao Tang, you are giving me a bowl."
"Brother Xiang? You haven't left yet. I thought you had left."
"Oh, I went to the bathroom and I'm getting ready to leave."
"Creak..." The door of the cabin opened.
"Young man, are you full?" Grandma Xiao Tang asked me with a kind smile on her face, holding the door frame.
"After eating, I'm leaving, grandma."
After I hurried out, I didn't leave, but hid behind the room.
A few minutes later, the sound of Xiao Tang's door being locked came.
Taking out a cigarette, I squatted on the ground and smoked, thinking.
Why did Grandma Xiao Tang collect old clothes from her grandmother’s family? And why did she cut up all the clothes? Is it really a local custom? But why did she show that expression at the end?
I was holding a cigarette and just turned around when I suddenly saw the white face of a woman!
This big white face met my eyes and was very close.
"Fuck you!"
I suddenly turned around and was so frightened that I stood up suddenly and kicked the person away.
Why did Tang Gui’s wife walk without making a sound? It scared me half to death!
I was so angry that I was about to kick her, but Tang Gui's wife immediately held her head and lay on the ground shivering.
Sigh... Seeing her like this, I softened my heart and didn't plan to hit her anymore.
Maybe she knew it was cold, but I saw that both of her feet were covered with black plastic bags. I don't know where she picked them up.
Tang Gui's daughter-in-law spread her fingers to a slit and looked at me with one eye.
"Let's go home. You are a miserable person."
Seeing that I didn't kick her, Tang Gui's wife sat up and pointed at my hand.
"You want this?"
She looked at the lighter in my hand and nodded.
"Okay, here you go, I have another one."
When she got the lighter, she clicked it, pressed it and released it, pressed it and released it again.
A small flame burst out from the lighter, and Tang Gui's wife grinned.
"Where are you? Are you coming back? I've left a door open for you," Xiaoxuan sent me a text message.
I was typing back and was just about to press the button to send the text message.
Suddenly I heard a creaking sound, which was the door of Xiao Tang's house opening.
I hurriedly looked outside and saw Little Tang's grandma sticking her head out and looking left and right. Then she pushed out an old-fashioned 28-inch big-bar bicycle. There was a long object tied to the bicycle with a rope, like a hoe.
She carried the bicycle down the steps and walked as fast as flying, not looking like an old lady who couldn't walk.
After gently locking the door, the old lady chewed her dentures twice and turned her head to look back.
