Chapter 1588: Helping others and enjoying yourself
"Unforeseen circumstances, one day, Emma Ting went to church and prayed to give Emily a younger brother!"
"However, God gave the answer three minutes later. Alas, this was not a new life given by God, but a female tourist from Quebec who resolutely ended her life by jumping off the building to commit suicide!"
In the picture, Emily's mother was holding her hand and walking out of the church. As a result, the female tourist who committed suicide fell from the sky, and Emily's mother passed away instantly!
This scene is jaw-dropping.
As the saying goes, you never know which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
Obviously, for Emily, the unexpected comes earlier than tomorrow.
From then on, Emily could only depend on her father and daughter.
She was even more lonely. She was in the yard, putting her stuffed bear on the swing and pushing it on the swing.
Because of her mother's death, Emily's father became more and more withdrawn. He devoted himself to building a small mausoleum to enshrine his deceased wife's ashes!
Day after day, year after year, Emily began to long to grow up and leave here! This lifeless home, when the camera turned, Emily had grown up.
She left the home with her suitcase and worked as a waitress in a restaurant.
In the restaurant, Emily was wearing a red T-shirt and was working. Suddenly she turned her head, letting everyone see the grown-up Emily.
"Her life will completely change in 48 hours! Of course, she doesn't know it yet. She contacts her colleagues as usual and entertains guests as usual. The landlady's name is Susan. She walks with a limp, but she has never knocked over a plate.
She likes to see frustrated athletes crying, but doesn’t like to see men! It’s embarrassing in front of her children!”
The movie continues to advance the plot with the narration.
It can be said that up to this point in the movie, almost all the narration takes up the largest space.
"Zo Zhi, who sells cigarettes, likes to complain about nothing. It's either migraine or sciatica. He hates people saying: May God bless your children!"
Along with the introduction of the narration, these people who are related to Emily, or people who are not related, appear on the big screen one by one.
"Jenna is Emily's partner and likes to wiggle her fingers!"
"Iplito is an underappreciated writer who likes to see bullfighting warriors get injured!"
"The malicious black-faced god on the side is called Joseph, the jealous ex-boyfriend who was dumped by Jenna! Joseph is obsessed with Jenna and stares at her every day."
The camera moves under the table: "He only likes to pop the little bubbles on the plastic foam!"
At this time, a flight attendant came in. Her name was Philome, and Emily took care of the cat for her!
"Philome likes to hear the sound of the cat bowl rubbing against the floor tiles, and cats like to eavesdrop on adults telling stories to children!"
Emily goes home to visit her father every Saturday!
At the dinner table, Emily asked her father: "Why don't you retire?"
The father asked back: "What to do?"
"When traveling, you rarely go out to see the outside world!" Emily said.
"When you were young, your mother longed to travel with me, but you had a heart disease and never went!"
"I know!"
"So now..." Emily's father didn't finish, but Emily knew, and the audience also knew, because Emily's mother was gone.
"On Friday, Emily sometimes goes to the movies!"
She likes to observe the expressions of other viewers in the dark!
This is definitely a weird movie, at least so far, because the narration still drives the plot.
She loves observing details that people overlook!
In the picture, two lovers from the movie were kissing, but Emily's eyes were focused on a fly on the background of the two!
“I hate the old movies where the driver never looks at the road while driving!”
Still the narration, Emily does not have a boyfriend. Although she has had one or two relationships, they have not met her expectations.
"So she developed a few little hobbies, inserting her hands into a bag of beans, and using a spoon to crack the crispy skin on the surface of baked pudding..."
It can be said that everyone introduced here seems to have particularly strange hobbies.
This is strange, but it seems reasonable, because who doesn't have a hobby?
It's just that it's often easily overlooked.
Emily also likes to throw stones and float on the San Martin River.
On this day, as usual, Emily suddenly caught her attention.
That's one of her special neighbors!
Emily has a neighbor, whom everyone calls the "Glass Man". He is born with fragile bones, as fragile as crystal. For this reason, all the furniture in his house is covered with soft cushions, and even shaking hands may break his fingers.
For twenty years, this glass neighbor has never left his house. He has been painting with a paintbrush.
"As time flies, Emily has never changed. She still hides in her own world and sometimes entertains herself by asking and answering silly questions!"
On August 30, 1997, something happened that completely changed her destiny!
TV news reported that Emily's favorite Princess Diana died in a car accident.
She was stunned. The round bottle cap in her hand fell to the ground, rolled away, and hit a brick on her front foot.
The wall tile actually fell off.
Emily broke open the fallen wall tiles and found that there was another space inside.
She found a rusty iron box inside.
She opened the iron box and couldn't help but smile. The top of the iron box was a photo, a photo that looked old at first sight.
The photo shows a boy holding a ball.
"Only the first explorer to enter the Pharaoh's tomb can understand Emily's mood at this moment!"
The audience's curiosity was also aroused.
I can't help but have thoughts floating around in my mind. Or is this the beginning of a beautiful love?
This is a treasure box, obviously a boy's treasure box, which was collected 40 years ago. It contains things full of traces of age and the boy's preferences.
Emily turned off the TV, but the treasure box kept her awake all night.
In the early morning of August 31st, 4 o’clock!
Emily suddenly had a thought and decided to find the owner of the box and return it to its original owner!
"If he is moved, she will often help others from now on! If the other person doesn't feel anything, forget it!"
This is somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. First of all, with forty years of collection, it is obvious that the boy is quite old.
So the romantic love that everyone imagines doesn't seem to match well.
Emily found the landlord and tried to ask him the name of the boy who lived in the room she was living in fifty years ago!
The landlord warmly invited Emily into the house and told her about her situation. Her husband cheated on his secretary and embezzled public funds to elope with her.
Later she received news that her husband had died in a car accident!
The landlady seemed to have not had anyone to talk to for a long time, and she even took out the letters between her husband and her!
Apparently when she was young, she and her husband had a close relationship.
The landlady asked if anyone had written such a letter to Emily.
Emily replied: "No one treats me like a baby!"
Finally, the landlady told Emily and asked her to ask the owner of the fruit stand.
Gao Liliang, because his family has lived here for several generations.
Emily found the fruit shop and saw a bag of beans. She couldn't help but put her hand in it, and then asked the person who lived in the room she lived in fifty years ago.
But Gao Liliang said that he was only two years old at that time, and his IQ was the same as the idiot next to him!
The idiot's name is Lu Xian. He is not a genius, but Emily likes him and appreciates him. He cherishes the fruits and vegetables he sells, treats them with respect and care, and is dedicated to his work!
This clerk named Lu Xian looks dull, but he is not as philistine and complicated as the boss.
However, Boss Gao still asked Emily to ask his mother.
Emily went over and found that Boss Gao's parents were old, but they still kept quarreling. Maybe this was also a way of life for them.
Dad Gao told Emily that the man was called: "Baidutu!"
But then he said that because he was old, many people didn't believe what he said!
Gao's mother told Emily that Gao's father used to check tickets on the subway, but now he uses the ticket machine to punch holes in her potted plants every night at midnight.
"How can life be fulfilled? Everyone must have hobbies!" Dad Gao disagreed.
"My hobby is flirting!" Emily whispered.
Gao MaMa is very organized in doing things, and she will register everything.
"Baidu Tu! Live on the fifth floor!"
The result turned out to be exactly what Gao's father said. Gao's mother was still looking for records, but Gao's father said it right away.
Unfortunately, there is no more detailed information.
Emily came to the subway station, and a man was lying on the ground, hooking something in the photo booth.
Emily walked over curiously.
This man's name is Lian Nuo. It turns out that he and Emily knew each other. When they were young, Emily was lonely, while Lian Nuo was bullied. Their homes were five miles apart. He wanted to have a sister, and Emily wanted to have a brother.
Grow together!
Back home, Emily's dad is making a dwarf.
Emily asked if it was a new work?
But her father said it had been there many years ago and had been kept in the storage room.
He took it out now because he wanted to use it to accompany Emily's mother.
He placed the dwarf on top of the little mausoleum he made for Emily's mother!
Emily asked: "What would you do if something from your childhood was lost and found?"
"Happy? Sad? Emotional?"
Emily's father thought that Emily was talking about a dwarf. He shook his head: "This dwarf is not something from childhood. It was given to me by my compatriots when I retired as a military doctor!"
"What if it's your childhood collection?" Emily continued to ask.
"I'm going to paint him in the fall!" Emily's father answered the question incorrectly.
Unable to find the answer from her father, she decided to find the answer herself.
She asked for leave from the boss's wife. Although there was very little information, she still did not give up.
She searched all over Paris based on this name, but unfortunately she found nothing!
Emily returned home disappointed, and suddenly Mr. Charlie stopped her downstairs. Mr. Charlie was the glass man and a lost painter!
He is the glass man who never leaves home.
Charlie was a lonely man with social anxiety. He used the television as a clock and spent all his time drawing.
He told Emily that the name was wrong, that the man was called "Bai Tuo Tu" and not "Bai Tuo Tu!"
Emily looked at his painting and praised: "This painting is so beautiful!"
Charlie said: "Order lunch on the boat!"
"For 20 years, he has painted one every year. The most difficult thing to paint is the expression. The characters in it seem to change their expressions quietly!"
He showed Emily the paintings he had done over the years!
Emily said: "They looked quite happy!"
"It should be fun! They are eating fresh mushrooms and rabbit meat, and the little girl is eating jam waffles!"
Charlie actually still has an address book!
Charlie sat in front of the painting and looked at the painting and said: "The only thing I painted that is not similar is the girl holding a water glass!"
"She seems to be at the party, but she seems not to be there!"
Emily looked at the painting and said, "Or is she different?"
"How is it different?" Charlie asked curiously.
"have no idea!"
Charlie said: "She didn't have many friends when she was a kid!"
Suddenly Charlie remembered: "Bai Tuotu, the address is No. 27 Mufeida Road!"
He gave Emily the address.
Emily can finally find the owner of the treasure box.
The camera turned to the market.
A man is walking there, he is Bai Tuotu.
He goes to the market every Tuesday to buy chicken and cooks roasted chicken at home!
He likes to eat this kind of "Potato Roast Chicken" the most!
That day he went to the market to buy chickens as usual, but when he walked to the phone booth, the phone rang.
He looked left and right, but no one came to answer the phone.
He walked into the phone booth curiously and answered the phone!
Emily hid in the phone booth next to her, leaning forward slightly, staring at the old man with her big eyes open. She dialed the phone with her right hand. When she saw the old man answering the phone, she retracted her body and hung up the phone!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bai Tuotu removed the phone from his ear, pouted hesitantly, and looked at the phone up and down. He turned his head naturally, and suddenly, his eyebrows rose,
It was as if he had seen some precious treasure. The camera slowly moved down, illuminating the orange iron box. He hung up the phone in a hurry, gently picked up the box with his hand, and looked at it carefully.
Emily bent over, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, her eyes bright and bright, and she blinked lightly.
Bai Tuotu frowned, bent his head, shook the box lightly, straightened the box for a long time and opened it gently.
The camera was turned to the old man. His eyebrows were still furrowed and his face was full of wrinkles. However, as if he saw something that was no longer familiar, his eyebrows were raised, his mouth opened slightly unconsciously, and the tip of his nose turned red.
, stroking it gently with his right hand. He raised his head and looked out the window, then returned his gaze to the box.
On the other side, Emily pressed against the glass tightly, holding the glass with both hands, bending slightly, opening her mouth, breathing hot air. She looked at this scene with curiosity on her face.
Bai Tuotu opened the iron box, and the first picture lying flat in the lens was a black and white photo of a boy. He carefully picked up the photo and moved it aside. Under the photo, there was a pile of gadgets, including two
A beautiful little box, a mouth organ, many steel fragments, a glass bead, and several models.
The old man gently took out the bicycle model, stared at it, and sobbed softly like a child. The corners of his eyes drooped and his eye circles were red. He wiped his red nose with his cuff and glanced at the tears stained on the cuff.
, and turned his attention to the box full of memories!
The narration sounded again: "In an instant, memories came to his mind."
His childhood memory, a flashback to a childhood memory that had been dusted for many years: a boy sitting in his yard, playing with the many people on the table who were bending over and holding up their helmets, riding bicycles!
"The winner of the championship—Federego Barmont..."
The video contains an image of a bicycle race!
This is the origin of his bicycle model toy.
"Aunt Josette's jumpsuit..."
A graceful lady is wearing a sexy nightgown, stretching out her arms to dry freshly washed sheets. The camera slowly moves back, and through the cat's eye, a little boy is staring at the camera, with his eyes wide open and his mouth pursed.
Shaking photos.
"Especially that tragic day"
He won all the marbles that day, but his pocket tore and all the marbles fell out!
The iron box carries his childhood dreams, the warmth of his family, and the happiness of his school days. These are enough to prove the preciousness of this gift. Emily, who is hiding in the dark, observes his every move and is sometimes moved when she sees Bai Tuotu.
She shed tears, and sometimes her joy fell into memories, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly involuntarily.
Bai Tuotu couldn't calm down for a long time. He recalled his childhood. He hadn't seen his daughter and grandson for a long time, so he decided to set off to see them.
Bai Tuotu regained hope for life, which made Emily feel inexplicably peaceful and accomplished. She was extremely comforted. The light became soft, the air became fragrant, and the city hummed. She took a deep breath.
She said that life was born simple, and a desire to help others suddenly overwhelmed her.
