Chapter 602: The most simple joy, the most profound love
The story is very mediocre, but it makes people watch it.
Wang Bai looked at it very carefully.
To be honest, Li Yi didn't change much, and it was all material he shot. However, after deletion and re-editing, the previous paragraph alone is very concise and clear.
You can tell at a glance what story this is about.
Obviously, grandma was worried that if she left that day, Ah-Dai would no longer be able to make a living and would not be able to survive.
That’s why Dumb was asked to sell newspapers.
What the movie didn't show was how Grandma tried her best to find a job that Dumb could do.
It was not photographed yet. Grandma went to ask a lot of people, taught Ah-Dai how many times, and took Ah-Dai to purchase goods and apply for an individual business license.
And through some small details, people can feel that although Dumb has low intelligence, he is very honest and filial.
He would comb his grandma’s hair, and let her drink water first...
Grandma stood up and said to Ah-Dai with a smile: "Ah-Dai, then you are here. Grandma has gone back first. I will come see you at noon!"
Dumb still nodded with a silly smile.
As grandma walked away, she couldn't help but look back at Dumb.
She was obviously still worried about whether Ah-Dai would succeed in his first stall and whether he could sell newspapers, but she also knew that she had to let Ah-Dai do these things by himself, because she couldn't stay with Ah-Dai forever!
Grandma went home, but in fact, grandma was still worried. She hid in the corner where Ah-Dai couldn't see, and secretly watched Ah-Dai.
Aunt Wu, the fruit seller at the next stall, used a fan to swat flies away while shouting loudly: "We are selling fruit, fresh fruit, apples, pears, peaches, cantaloupe melons!"
Dumb shook his head while biting a lollipop and looking curiously at Aunt Wu next door.
He stretched out his hand and knocked on his forehead with the left hand and once with the right hand.
Then he suddenly shouted: "Repay!"
"Report!"
He shouted a little softly at first, but after shouting a few words, he seemed to have thought of something, and the familiar silly smile reappeared on his face, and his voice became louder: "Report!"
Aunt Wu from the fruit stall next door was shouting as she heard Ah-Dai's shouting in her ears. She stopped what she was doing several times and was immediately amused by Ah-Dai's imitation.
Obviously, although Dumb is indeed mentally retarded, it does not mean that he does not understand anything.
He can also imitate and learn!
Hiding at the corner across the street and watching Ah-Dai's grandma, she couldn't help but smile happily when she saw Ah-Dai learning to shout.
Not only that, when I see Aunt Wu, she will yell at people when they pass by.
Dumb also followed suit.
Two people passed by, and he immediately yelled at each other: "Report!"
There is an obvious forward leaning movement of the body.
As expected, the two passers-by turned their heads and picked up a newspaper from the newsstand. Dumb stretched out his hand and made a gesture with his finger.
The other party took out a dollar, handed it to Dumb, and took away the newspaper!
This was the first transaction that Dumb completed. He held a one-dollar note and faced the sun, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
This one dollar note, one dollar, is nothing to most people, but for Dumb and Grandma, it is a wonderful start!
When grandma saw this scene, she finally felt relieved, showed a happy smile, turned and left, but she still couldn't help but look back at Dumb from time to time.
When grandma bought something and passed by the street store, the smile on her face made it obvious that grandma was in a particularly good mood today.
The grandma at the canteen department encountered two more street visitors.
"Grandma, why are you so happy about this? You keep smiling!"
Grandma told them: "My Dumb, he learned how to set up a stall and sell newspapers without anyone teaching him!"
The street visit also made my grandma very happy.
"Oh, that's great. Grandma, are you relieved this time? They always say that dumb people can't do anything at the age of twenty. I don't think that dumb guy is stupid!"
When grandma heard this, she said unhappily: "Who said my dumb guy is stupid?"
"That's right! Grandma, Dumb will come back after making money in two days. You, just wait and enjoy the blessings!"
Grandma said happily: "Yes, it's a blessing. I have to thank Aunt Liu from the neighborhood committee for her help!"
"Actually, I don't expect Ah-Dai to earn much money. I just hope that he can earn some money to support himself. That way, I feel relieved!"
The screen rotates.
We came to the place where Ah-Dai set up his stall again.
He and Aunt Wu next door were still going back and forth, one shouting to sell fruit, the other shouting "Report!"
Maybe it's because the location here is really good and there are a lot of people coming and going.
Therefore, Ah-Dai’s newsstand business gradually improved.
As the sun set, A-Dai's newsstand sold a lot of newspapers and drank up all the water.
Aunt Wu's business was also good, and she soon began to close her stall.
But Ah-Dai still sat there stupidly, shouting.
Suddenly he watched Aunt Wu close up her stall and leave, and she also packed up her own newsstand in the same manner.
Then follow Aunt Wu home.
When he came to the fork in the road, he watched Aunt Wu pushing the cart home. He opened a lollipop and put it in his mouth, then he staggered home happily.
Many people saw this scene and found it quite interesting.
Why?
In fact, this is an expression of Dumb's gratitude.
He may be stupid, but he doesn't understand anything.
He learned how to shout from Aunt Wu, and he also learned how to close the stall from Aunt Wu.
Therefore, he must be grateful to Aunt Wu in his heart, but he doesn't know how to express it. Therefore, following Aunt Wu home and watching Aunt Wu return to the door is probably his unique way of expression.
When Ah-Dai passed by the canteen, the owner of the canteen and the man drinking beer at the door coaxed Ah-Dai and said, "You've made money, why don't you treat everyone to some beer?"
But Ah-Dai was not stupid at this time, he turned around and left.
Whoever treats him well, whoever coaxes him, he is actually like a mirror in his heart.
He is just mentally retarded and does not really understand anything.
Even to a certain extent, he is more sensitive than any normal person!
The people behind were still shouting at Ah-Dai not to leave, but Ah-Dai ran faster and faster. He didn’t understand what rejection meant, but he knew that all he had to do was run away!
When he got home, Ah-Dai was as happy as a general returning from a victorious battle. Grandma praised Ah-Dai, who held his head high.
Grandma made Ah-Dai his favorite tomato scrambled egg noodles.
While eating noodles, Dumb thought about it and took out a lot of crumpled newspaper money from his pocket.
Grandma happily praised Dumb: "Our Dumb will make money!"
This moment is the happiest time for Ah-Dai.
Eating his favorite noodles made by his grandma, he also made money for the first time, and everyone praised him!
In the evening, grandma went to the canteen and bought a lot of lollipops. She couldn't help but tell the owner of the canteen: "My dumb boy made money selling newspapers today!"
The next day, grandma once again accompanied Ah-Dai to continue working at the stall.
Aunt Wu curiously asked her grandma about Dumb.
Grandma then told Aunt Wu that it turned out that Ah-Dai was a mentally retarded orphan who was picked up by grandma when he was a child and raised to this age.
Grandma told Aunt Wu that even though Ah-Dai looks stupid and can't speak, he has a sharp mind.
He said that he was only eight years old when his grandfather passed away, and his little hand held his grandfather's hand and wouldn't let go.
"It seems like he knows that once his grandfather leaves, he will never see him again!"
