I really don't want to be a teacher

Page 685

Waiting for the middle-aged woman to go away, several women at the gate of the community, the old lady sat back one after another,

"...It's really unlucky to live in the same neighborhood with such a person."

An old lady stretched forward a little bit, and said something in a low voice, without a good face,

"...Don't say that. He is also a hard-working person."

A woman next to her spoke aloud, and the people around fell silent again.

"...Old lady Chen, where did your son buy this dress for you, let me ask my son to buy me one too..."

"...It is said that I bought it online. Even an old woman like me doesn't understand it. They young people understand this..."

It was quiet again for a while, and then several old ladies sitting by the gate of the community repeated what they had said before,

Listening to the voices in his ears, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged woman walking away again,

From the gate of this community, several old ladies and women walked by,

The talking old ladies and women seemed unaware of Lian Ge.

……

Entering this community, there are several buildings with only a few floors in the community.

The outer wall is plastered with some rough and peeling wall plaster, next to the drain on the top, there are still some black stains and moss left by the wind and rain for years on the wall plaster,

Between several buildings, there are some old trees planted.

The middle-aged woman who entered the community was carrying a bag, her head was lowered, her hair was disheveled, and she was walking towards the entrance of the corridor next to the building.

Taking a look, Lian Ge moved his feet and walked not far behind the middle-aged woman.

Passing through the neighborhood, under the shade of some leafy trees, the middle-aged woman gradually walked to the corridor entrance of the building next to her.

At this time, an old lady walked by with a bag and approached the entrance of the corridor.

Seeing the middle-aged woman who had already reached the entrance of the corridor, the old lady who was carrying her things couldn't help slowing down, and gradually stopped a few steps behind the woman.

Seemingly hearing footsteps behind her, the middle-aged woman also stopped at the entrance of the corridor.

This corridor was a little darker than the outside of the house, and it was a bit narrow. The middle-aged woman was carrying bags and standing at the entrance of the corridor, which seemed to block half of the space.

Immediately afterwards, with her waist bent and her head lowered, the middle-aged woman didn't turn around and didn't speak,

Just carrying something, lowering his head, moving his body to the side, moving to the side, getting out of the way of the corridor,

Also retreated a little farther away.

The old lady carrying the things watched the middle-aged woman step aside and walked a few steps closer to the entrance of the corridor.

Hesitating again, he stopped, turned his head, and looked at the middle-aged woman standing aside.

Chapter 949 Nectarines, paper money

The sunlight that had just deviated from the sky was largely blocked by the dense branches and leaves of the trees in front of the old building.

The hallway looked a little dark.

The old lady carrying something stood at the entrance of the corridor, turned her head, and looked at the middle-aged woman who stepped aside a little further,

The middle-aged woman lowered her head, hunched her waist, and held a bag containing some things in her hand. She didn't make a sound, and also went to see the old lady, but stood a little far away.

As if sensing the old lady's gaze, the middle-aged woman lowered her head, hunched her waist, turned sideways, and moved to the side.

"Sister Liao..."

The old lady who stopped at the entrance of the corridor looked at the middle-aged woman who was standing a little far away with her head down,

There was more hesitation on his face,

Standing still, he still called out to the middle-aged woman, moved his feet, and walked a few steps closer to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman slowly raised her head again, her messy hair fell on both sides, covering half of her face,

He turned his eyes to the old lady, looked at the old lady, and said nothing.

The old lady stopped again, standing a few steps away from the middle-aged woman,

"...Sister Liao, eat two fruits."

The old lady stood up again, lifted up the bags in her hand, pulled one of the bags away, and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

The bag contained some nectarines.

The middle-aged woman just looked at the old lady without moving or speaking.

"...I just bought it on the street. This nectarine is very juicy. Sister Liao, you can take two and taste it."

Withdrawing the hand that opened the bag, she reached out and took a few nectarines out of the bag. The old lady had a smile on her face,

Speaking to the middle-aged woman, he handed the nectarine to the middle-aged woman,

"……I will not eat."

The middle-aged woman didn't reach out, but just looked at the old lady and said something out loud.

"Take it, this nectarine is sweet...I put it in your bag for you, take it..."

The old lady said with a smile, stretched out her hand and put the nectarines in her hand into the plastic bag in the middle-aged woman's hand,

The middle-aged woman didn't avoid it, she just looked at the old lady,

The old lady smiled, took the nectarines, opened the plastic bag in the middle-aged woman's hand, and was about to put the nectarines down.

He also lowered his head and looked into the plastic bag carried by the middle-aged woman,

Immediately afterwards, the old lady's movements seemed to froze for a moment, and the expression on her face became a little unnatural.

"...I'll put it inside for you... Then I'll go first, the room is still waiting for me to go back and cook..."

He was still smiling, but the smile was a little forced, and he threw the nectarine in his hand into the plastic bag carried by the middle-aged woman in a panic.

The old lady turned around in a hurry, and while talking in a panic, she walked a lot faster, walked up the stairs from the entrance of the corridor, and walked upstairs.

The middle-aged woman was still standing there, lowered her head, looked at the extra nectarines in the bag in her hand, raised her head again, and looked at the panicked old lady who was walking upstairs. with,

Until the old lady walked away and disappeared from her sight, the middle-aged woman moved her feet again and walked upstairs.

……

Seeing the old lady flee upstairs in a panic,

Lian Ge walked behind the middle-aged woman again, passed the corridor entrance, and walked upstairs.

Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge took another look at the bag that the middle-aged woman was carrying.

It was a bulging red plastic bag,

Through the bag, you can see some traces of paper money incense candles,

At this moment, on the handful of joss sticks and the stacks of paper money, a few nectarines are falling.

Turned my gaze again,

Lian Ge walked behind the middle-aged woman and climbed up the stairs.

Looking at the corridor, listening to some sounds inside and outside the corridor.

……

Seems to be in disrepair,

There are only one or two floors of lights in the corridor. After some movement in the corridor, some dim lights are swayed.

The dim lights mixed with the corners of the corridor, and there were some gaps on the wall, the light coming in,

In the corridor, it still seemed a little dark.

At this moment,

On the higher floors, there were some flustered doors opening and closing down the corridor.

A few corridor lights that could barely light up the entire floor were startled, mixed together, and swayed some lights.

And the middle-aged woman also stopped in front of a house in the corridor,

Just the second floor.

It seems that I heard some loud opening and closing of the door on the higher floor. The middle-aged woman stood in front of the door and did not open the door.

He just raised his head, and seemed to follow the corridor, looking towards the higher floor, the house that opened and closed the door.

Standing for a long time, the middle-aged woman raised her head and looked towards the family upstairs.

"Crack..."

Beside, on the same floor, there were rustling noises from the opposite house,

Immediately afterwards, an old woman pushed open the door of that family's house and walked out of the house.

"...Sister Liao..."

The old woman was about to close the door again, still holding the rubbish to take downstairs,

Looking back, I saw the middle-aged woman standing in the corridor with her head up, looking upstairs,

First, he couldn't help but pause for a while, his hands were still holding on to the open door next to him, his face became a little unnatural, and he couldn't help calling out to the middle-aged woman,

"...Sister Liao, what are you doing standing here? Did you forget the key?"

With a forced smile on her face, the old woman asked aloud,

At this time, the middle-aged woman slowly lowered her head again, looked at the old woman,

After looking at it, the middle-aged woman didn't speak, she lowered her head a little more, turned around, took out the key from her trouser pocket, opened the door,

"...Then sister Liao, please be busy, I will leave first... This is not the hotel that my son booked for his wedding. I have already chosen it before. Let me go to see the venue and try the dishes by the way...I will leave first. .”

Looking at the appearance of this middle-aged woman, the old woman forced a smile,

After saying a few words in a hurry, he closed the door and walked downstairs in a panic.

The middle-aged woman who opened the door slowed down the movement of her hands, turned her head, and looked at the old woman who was walking away in a panic,

It wasn't until seeing that the old woman had disappeared into the distance that the middle-aged woman turned her head back again, lowered her head, reached out and used the key to open the door.

……

Standing not far behind this middle-aged woman, on the stairs,

The middle-aged woman seemed unaware of Lian Ge.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the old woman who had gone away,

Turning his gaze back, he looked at the middle-aged woman.

In front of the door, a middle-aged woman opened the door.

The room seemed darker than the corridor,

The dim light in the corridor shines obliquely into the room through the door,

In that room, towards the outside, there was a bone-chilling chill.

Pushing the door open a bit, the middle-aged woman walked into the room with the bag of joss sticks and paper money, and pulled off the key.

Walking beside the middle-aged woman, Lian Ge also moved his feet and walked into the room.

The middle-aged woman didn't put down the joss paper money in her hand, turned around first, reached out and pulled the door,

He just paused again, raised his head, and looked towards the pair of doors, the room where the old woman came out of earlier.

In the corridor, some dim corridor lights gradually went out again.

The middle-aged woman looked towards the opposite room again,

He reached out and closed the door again.

Some heavy doors slammed, startling the already extinguished lights in the corridor,

It's just some dim lights from the corridor lights, and the closed door keeps the outside of the house out.

The middle-aged woman paused again, carried the bag, and turned around again.
