"It's okay. Just take a shower and wear it." Erju was still frightened and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"Let's dry it out. Wearing wet clothes on this day will make you sick." Shen Yimei said softly.
She quickly washed Erju's clothes, took them to the well, cleaned them, and hung them to dry on the rope in the yard.
10-15
Shen Yimei hung up her clothes and returned to the kitchen, opening the door.
The sunlight outside the door shone on the girl's face. This was the first time she saw the girl's face clearly! But it was her appearance that instantly gave her an unexpected surprise. It was as if a hammer suddenly hit her nerves. !
At this time, the girl also stared at her with big eyes, also surprised.
They look alike! Very similar!
Shen Yimei looks more refined and elegant, while Erju looks rough and simple, but they are just alike! They are just alike!
"What's your name? Tell me quickly!" Shen Yimei asked eagerly.
"Er...Erju..." Mazi had never told her her name, and she couldn't think of what to call her!
"Your surname is Yang! Isn't that right! Say it quickly!"
"Ah..." Erju was stunned, not knowing what to say!
"Your name is Yang Erju!"
"Ah!" This sound was considered affirmative, because Erju was too surprised at this time!
"I used to call Yang Yimei, and you called Yang Erju! You are my sister! I am Yimei! You are Erju! I was born in winter, you should be born in autumn! Isn't it!" Shen Yimei grabbed Erju. Ju's shoulders, said quickly!
By this time, Erju was completely stupid!
She did hear her mother say that she had a sister who was sold to someone else a long time ago! She seemed to be really named Yimei or something! God, I actually found my long-lost sister just like this! No way! Why? Like a dream!
Shen Yimei hugged her tightly, as if she was afraid of her sudden disappearance.
She shouted: "Sister! You are my sister! I never thought that I would find you! Sister, how have you lived these years! Tell me! Tell me quickly!"
"My mother and uncle were both blown up by Japanese planes..." Erju murmured.
"Who is uncle? Where is dad? Where is dad?"
"I've been sick for many years! Are you...are you really my sister?"
"I am your sister! Look how much we look alike! We are sisters!"
Shen Yimei couldn't help but cry too, grabbing her sister's hand and shaking it back and forth.
Erju also pursed her lips and was about to cry.
"Sister, don't cry, don't cry! Oh my God, I actually found my sister! I just couldn't believe it!"
Shen Yimei was so excited that she didn't know what to do. She just hugged Erju tightly and shed tears of her own!
10-16
Erju went out to buy groceries and didn't come back on time. The first person who became nervous was Mazi!
He whispered to Rose, Stone and Shell Eiko, asking them to be careful outside, whether there is any strange person coming! When guests come, they should not speak if they can!
He whispered: "Erju didn't come back!"
Rose and Stone continued to clean the tables in the store and greet customers, but their eyes looked out the window from time to time.
Keike Eiko was making noodles by the stove, but she picked up a big kitchen knife and put it on the chopping board next to her! She stared at Mazi with a fierce look!
"Are you going to do this?" she asked in Mazi's ear.
"I want to go there and talk to Sister Yan! But I can only go at night!"
Keikeyingzi put a pot of freshly made noodles in front of Mazi and whispered: "You give grandma some noodles first and tell them not to go out! Also look at the people on the street!"
Mazi understood that this was the first thing he had to do! He had to be careful!
He put the basin in a bamboo basket and covered it with a cloth. After thinking about it, he took off his apron and hat. If the people looking for them saw him, he didn't want them to guess who he was.
Working in a small shop!
When Mazi was about to go out, he carefully looked both sides to make sure there was no unusual person, then he took the basket and left.
10-17
When Mazi arrived at the small courtyard where her grandma lived, the first thing she saw was little Anxiang leading his younger brother to play outside the courtyard gate!
He glanced around, then raised his face and made an imperceptible gesture to little Anxiang!
Xiao Anxiang was a brat, and she could see the danger in his eyes at a glance. She pulled her brother into the small courtyard.
Mazi looked around again and then followed her into the small courtyard.
He put the basin of noodles on the table, filled a bowl for An Xiang, and filled a small bowl for his brother.
After watching them eat it, he whispered: "Grandma, let me tell you something."
Grandma is grandma! When she entered the back room, she stared at Mazi and said, "Hey, we're here!"
Mazi said: "We haven't come to the door yet! However, Erju went out to buy groceries and hasn't come back yet. So, I have to be more careful! Grandma, please watch little Anxiang and his brother and don't let them go out of the hospital again! In addition, I
I’ll leave you two hundred yuan. In case we don’t bring you food, something is wrong! Take good care of the two children and guard this place! You know!”
Grandma smiled faintly, "I know, sooner or later this day will come! I would like to say, you don't need to send me any more food! I am an old woman living here with two children, and it's nothing to do! Neighbors
You won’t even notice! Come back when you are more confident! How awesome!”
As soon as Mazi thought about it, he understood that this was the best way! Hiding the money here, not losing it, everything else would be easy to handle!
He whispered: "Grandma, you should also eat. It's plain noodles. Erju didn't buy any vegetables, so you make do with it. If you want to go out, take your brother with you. You still have to leave a child at home, how wonderful!"
10-18
When Mazi returned to the store, lunch had already passed and there was no one in the store.
When Rose and Shitou saw him, they both shook their heads slightly, indicating that they were fine. Another meaning was that Erju still hadn't come back!
Mazi entered the kitchen, but Master Gao stared at him and walked over slowly.
He said: "Miss Erju didn't come back, and there was no seasoning on anything. The guests ate and complained!"
Mazi said: "I know. I'll sit there for a while and then go out to buy it!"
But Master Gao stood in front of him, staring at him motionless, and finally said: "I'd better go buy it! I've seen that you guys are in trouble! I just don't want to meddle in your business!"
Mazi couldn't help laughing, "Master Gao is an old man, I know. Here is two hundred yuan, you can buy whatever you need. Master Gao, can I say one more thing?"
Master Gao said: "What are you talking about?"
Mazi said: "If I am not here, your master Gao will be in charge of Wanfuju! How wonderful!"
Master Gao stared at him motionless for a moment, then said: "I see, you are in quite a lot of trouble!"
Mazi just smiled at him and said nothing.
He walked to the window and sat down, carefully observing the outside.
He wants to go to Xicheng tonight to find Xiaoyan, but he can only go at night! In this situation, he must be extremely careful!
10-19
In the evening of that day, Erju put on half-dry clothes and followed the sister she had just met to the Chuxiang Hotel on West Lake Road.
When Shen Yimei entered the door, the first thing she did was to pull Erju and stand in front of the dressing mirror.
She looked at her sister in the mirror with a smile on her face. They were biological sisters, biological sisters without a doubt! They were so similar! They were almost like twin girls!
As for the differences between them, they do exist. They are the differences between the refined and the popular, and the differences between the rich and the poor! There is no other difference!
She whispered: "Sister, you are my biological sister!"
When Erju looked at her before, she only knew that she looked like herself. But now when she looked at her in the mirror, she looked so much like her!
Shen Yimei suddenly noticed that her sister had been trembling, and hurriedly pulled her and said: "I'm going to die! Take off your clothes quickly, let them dry before putting them on again! Quickly, sit on the bed and cover yourself with a quilt!"
Although the wet clothes on her body were nothing to Erju, they were still uncomfortable.
She took off her clothes and sat cross-legged on the bed. Her sister wrapped her in a quilt and wrapped her tightly.
Shen Yimei put one hand into the quilt and grabbed her hand, "Sister, tell me how you and your parents got here. Tell me. Sister, when I grow up, I have always been Thinking about my parents."
When she said this, there were tears in her eyes.
Erju is an honest person, and the person sitting in front of her is her own sister, but she still has to be careful in her heart, for fear of telling the truth!
She said that when she was a child, her family was very poor and she often went hungry. How her parents fought over money.
Shen Yimei cried, "If it weren't for my family's poverty, my parents would never have sold me!"
Erju added that later on, her father got a good job, and the family was a little better off.
She said: "I still went to school for two years. At that time, my mother was always nagging my father, saying that it would be better if I had just endured it a little longer. She occasionally mentioned that there is a penny for a penny, and then I realized that there was another one ahead of me. sister."
Shen Yimei hugged her sister and cried hard, saying, "My parents remember me, that's enough, that's enough!"
What Erju later said was that her father fell ill and died, and her mother took her to live with her uncle, and the family became poor.
She later talked about the Japanese plane bombing, which destroyed her home and killed her mother and uncle, so she refused to say any more. She didn't know what to say about what happened next.
When they talked about the death of their parents, the two sisters held each other's arms and cried. They both burst into tears and it took a while to calm down.
Shen Yimei said: "Sister, just follow me from now on. Wherever sister goes, you can go."
At this time, Erju didn't dare to speak. She also had many brothers and sisters that she couldn't leave behind!
10-20
Suddenly someone knocked lightly on the door outside.
Erju also had a keen eye, and she immediately recognized that the knock on the door had a rhythm.
Sure enough, my sister opened the door without asking anything.
A handsome young man stood outside the door, looking at Erju sitting on the bed with some surprise.
He asked later: "Do you have guests?"
Shen Yimei smiled happily, "Guozhang, you can't believe it, I actually found my biological sister! Look, we look very similar! Take a look!" She said, sitting on the second floor Stand next to Ju and let him look at it.
