"sough……"
The breeze blows along the street from time to time, disturbing the shade of the roadside trees reflected on the street ground, making some rustling sounds.
The little girl is carrying a somewhat heavy bag in both hands, changing the position of the bag from time to time,
After walking for a while, I needed to take a break again, and put the cloth bag, which was somewhat full, in front of my feet,
Shaking the red hand that was strangled by the rope on the cloth bag,
After shaking his hands, he picked up the cloth bag again and continued walking forward.
Intermittently, stop and go, the little girl walked along the side of the road, passed the vegetable market by the side of the road, and then walked out of this street.
With a smile on his flushed face, he lowered his head from time to time to look at the bag of vegetables he was carrying, and then looked at the distance in front of him, as if he was planning something,
"...Grandpa Chen likes green beans, and Grandpa Qian likes corn...would it be difficult to make..."
"...I still have some salt at home, so I don't need to buy any more...Well, I cooked the corn, half of it for me, and half for Grandpa Qian, and then..."
Beside, the old man who was following the little girl looked at the red mark on the little girl's hand and the sweat on his forehead,
With some pain in his eyes, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to help the girl, but he just raised his hand, then stopped, put his hand down, and remained silent.
……
Walking not far behind the girl and the old man, Lian Ge listened to some sounds in his ears, looked at the girl and the old man not far in front of him,
After passing the vegetable market and walking to the end of this old street, the side gradually became quieter.
The little girl stopped under the shade of a tree at the corner of the street, and put down the somewhat heavy cloth bag,
Lifting the hand that was marked with red marks by the rope on the cloth bag, the little girl blew on her hand, followed by another smile on her face,
Putting down her hands again, the little girl smiled, looked at the distance of the street next to her, and then looked at the bag of vegetables beside her, with a smile on her face,
It's just that those two hands are still trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Standing not far behind the little girl and the old man,
Looking at the little girl again, Lian Ge raised his hand, waved towards the little girl, then put down his hand,
Immediately afterwards, the trembling hands of the little girl gradually stopped trembling.
After resting for a while, the little girl lowered her body again, picked up the bag of vegetables again,
But right after, the cloth bag containing the vegetables was lifted off the ground by both hands of the little girl,
The little girl couldn't help showing some doubts in her eyes, and lowered her head, looking into the bag,
Seeing that there was not much food left in the bag, the doubts in the little girl's eyes gradually faded.
He just raised the bag of vegetables a little more, held it in his arms with both hands, and then walked towards the front.
……
Looking at the little girl and the old man again, Lian Ge moved his feet and walked not far behind the little girl and the old man.
Around the corner at the end of the street, into another street.
"...Tongtong went grocery shopping?"
"……Uh-huh!"
"...I bought so much, do you want grandma to help you carry it?"
"...No need, I can handle it, thank you Grandma Dong..."
"... so cute."
This is a narrower alley. On both sides of the alley, there are some low-rise and old residential areas. Some traces of wind erosion and rain can be seen on the outer walls of the residential areas.
Along the street, there are not many pedestrians passing by, only some pedestrians pass by from time to time.
Two old ladies walking by the side of the road saw the little girl, they seemed to know each other, they smiled and greeted each other loudly,
The little girl smiled, agreed, walked past the two old ladies, and continued walking forward.
"...Those old ones are really lazy...Speaking of which, I haven't seen them out for a walk for a long time, have I?"
"...Maybe they are sick... They are all very old, and some of them are in good health."
Turning back, looking at the little girl who passed by, the two old ladies walked forward and talked.
Listening to the voices ringing in his ears, Lian Ge walked past the two old ladies,
Walking not far behind the little girl, he walked forward with the little girl and the old man.
……
The little girl picked up the bag of vegetables and walked along the side of the street without stopping.
Gradually, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and it takes a long time to see pedestrians passing by.
The buildings on both sides became more dilapidated and low, and the surroundings became more quiet and desolate.
Go a little further,
The sun overhead has gradually begun to slant westward, lengthening the shade of the trees on the side of the road, and also lengthening the shadow of the little girl on the ground.
Not far from the side of the road, there is another fork in the road, go to the alley beside the road.
The little girl watched, her feet became lighter, with a happy smile on her face,
Holding the bag of vegetables, he walked to the entrance of the alley and turned into the alley.
……
Not far behind the little girl, Lian Ge came to the alley.
Turning his gaze, he followed the alley and looked into the alley.
In the alley, apart from the little girl and the old man who had just walked into the alley, there were no other figures to be seen.
On both sides of the streets and alleys, there are some old tile-roofed houses that have been dilapidated.
The closed door has lost its paint color, and there are some potholes. The wall plaster on the outer wall has peeled off and looks a little mottled.
On the edge of the extended eaves, the tiles are crumbling on the already inclined wooden boards,
On the side of each yard, there are some fallen leaves, some moss growing, and some faded plastic bags left behind at unknown times,
From time to time, a gust of breeze blows through this quiet and deserted alley,
Disturbing the branches and leaves of the trees planted in the courtyards of the alleys, trembling the rotten leaves on the ground,
From time to time, I rolled up a plastic bag and dragged it forward on the chapped and potholed alley, falling into some yard.
Scrolling a few more, it seemed to be a shop before, the plastic signboard on the shop door was blown by the wind,
The handwriting on the signboard has faded, but it just rustled with the wind.
Glancing at the buildings on both sides of the deserted alley, Lian Ge turned his gaze a little further,
Glancing at the little girl, the little girl was walking briskly, joyfully, trotting towards the end of the alley,
Seeing the little girl happy, the old man followed behind the little girl with a gentle smile on his face.
Turning his gaze, Lian Ge followed the alley and looked towards the end of the alley.
At the end of the alley, beside the alley, there are also several tile-roofed houses similar to the ones beside them.
It's just a few tile-roofed rooms with a half-hidden door, which seems to lead to the inner courtyard behind the house.
……
Looking there, Lian Ge moved his foot away, turned around, and walked into the alley.
Walking along this alley, looking at the scene on both sides of the alley, stepping on the somewhat chapped and potholed road,
Listening to the sound of the breeze blowing by my ears, I walked towards the end of the alley.
Lian Ge is not far away,
The little girl and the old man had already reached the end of the alley, a few tile-roofed rooms with half-hidden doors,
"...Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Cheng, I'm back..."
Then hold the bag of vegetables in her hand higher, the little girl is happy, with a happy smile on her face,
With a little lightness on his feet, he trotted towards the door, pushed open the half-hidden door with his body, and ran into the door.
The old man looked at the little girl's happy appearance, and some gentle smiles appeared on his face, and followed the little girl, moving his feet towards the door of the house.
……
Walking along the alley, Lian Ge came to the end of the alley,
Looking at the little girl and the old man, walking towards the door of the house,
Lian Ge turned his gaze a little further, at the end of the alley, at the buildings beside the alley,
Next to the road, there are several tile-roofed houses. The outer walls of the tile-roofed houses have also lost the wall ash and are somewhat mottled.
Among several tile-roofed houses, there are some potholes, and the original painted wooden door can no longer be seen.
Looking in through the open wooden door, behind the wooden door, there are the same gray mottled walls on both sides, which is a not deep passage.
After the passage, there is an inner courtyard surrounded by the same tile-roofed houses.
Chapter 969 Nursing Homes
"... General! Old Chen, you have lost, I am willing to bet and admit defeat."
"...Tongtong is back... yo, you bought so many vegetables..."
"...Quickly put it away, put it somewhere first, don't tire Tongtong..."
Through the passage behind the open wooden door, Lian Ge glanced at the inner courtyard again.
The inner courtyard is not big, and a tree is planted next to it, and the eaves of the tile-roofed houses next to it are connected under the tree, providing some shade.
The ground was cleaned up very clean, and there were not a few fallen leaves from the trees.
Next to the other side of the yard, a clothes line was pulled, and a piece of the little girl's clothes was hanging on the line.
Beside the tree, under the shade, there are several bamboo chairs and stools, supporting a folding table.
Surrounded by a few old men in their seventies, playing chess,
Either sit or stand, or turn your back to the door, or face the door,
But they all seem to be paying attention to the door, waiting for the little girl to push open the wooden door, walk through the passage, and enter the yard.
Several old men stood up one after another and greeted the little girl.
Either smiling and responding to the little girl, or looking down at the bag of vegetables that the little girl is holding, and then beckoning the little girl to put down the bag of vegetables to rest,
"...Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Yang..."
"...Eh, eh..."
The little girl hugged the bag of vegetables, smiled happily, and called each old man,
The old people responded with a smile,
"...Tongtong is tired, let's put the food away first..."
"...I'm not tired. I'll just take the dishes directly into the kitchen in a while."
The little girl hugged the bag of vegetables, responded crisply, then raised her head, leaned forward, looked left and right,
"...Hey, where is Grandpa Qian?"
Turning her head, she didn't seem to find anyone, the little girl asked with some doubts,
"...I don't know where your grandpa Qian has slipped away..."
"...here, here...Tongtong is back..."
Beside the wooden door, the old man who had been following the little girl listened to the words in the yard,
Smiling and responding loudly to the yard.
"...Old Qian, you know how to steal and play tricks all day long. If you are allowed to buy vegetables, you will let Tongtong go and buy them alone."
