Chapter 237

The blind woman lives alone, and her children don't come except at the end of the year. Usually, if you come, you must have something to do. Either your granddaughter wants to buy a piano, or the car is broken and has no money to repair. Anyway, it's not over if you don't collect all the money that the blind woman picked up and changed.

At the end of the new year, I can come to have a reunion dinner. My daughter-in-law cooks, my daughter washes the dishes, and my grandchildren walk around. It's fun. The blind woman lived frugally. Her savings for a year were spent on this day. She bought some good dishes, made some boxes of snacks, and wrapped a big red envelope for her grandchildren.

Although she knows that they all miss her house, if there is no house, maybe they won't come back for the new year. But she was still happy and willing to go out to pick up junk every day and save money to wait for this day every year.

The blind woman also had a cat. After her children moved out, she and the cat depended on each other.

She picks up junk every day. When she goes out, her cat is at home. For so many years, the house is full of garbage, but there has never been a mouse.

Although the blind woman is old, she has a good memory. I picked up a few bottles and a few kilograms of cardboard today. I know it very well. Sometimes when one night passed, there would be more waste bottles on the ground. The blind woman knew that they were picked up by the cat.

The cat doesn't want to eat well. The blind woman eats whatever she eats. She gets some fish soup and vegetable soup. She also eats very delicious.

When the cat is old, it no longer runs around and lies quietly every day.

Her son suddenly came back a while ago. Usually, children never come to the house in September, because at that time, most of them were blind women when they were the poorest, and the money was spent for their grandchildren during the summer vacation. Even if you have some surplus food, you should keep Chinese New Year flowers. It's strange for my son to come to the door at this time.

The blind woman asked, "what's the matter? Did you lose your gambling money and your daughter-in-law won't let you in?" she knew that her son was fond of gambling and had the same virtue as her dead old man. She couldn't manage well and scold back.

The son said, "No."

The blind woman was surprised: "what's the matter?"

The son asked, "where's the cat?"

The blind woman said, "the cat bothers you. What are you doing with it?"

The son said, "call the cat and tell me to take it away."

The blind woman was not happy: "you are all unworthy. I'll rely on it as a companion. If you take it away, how can I live?"

The son left unhappily.

The next day my daughter came.

The daughter said, "Mom, where's the cat?"

The blind woman felt something wrong and asked, "what are you looking for a cat for?"

The daughter said, "lily wants to have a cat, so take your cat to her."

Lily is the daughter of her daughter and the niece of the blind woman. If the niece really likes it, she's willing, but she knows Lily doesn't like cats. Every time she sees cats during the new year, she thinks they're dirty and hides away.

The blind woman said, "the cat is old and it's hard to walk. Go and buy lily a kitten. It won't cost much."

The daughter left unhappily.

The blind woman didn't know the cat killing order at that time. The old community she lived in was full of old people. The news was much behind other places. Later, there was trouble in the community. People killed cats and cried every day. She saw with her own eyes that stray cats gathered by the garbage can were trapped and killed one by one with food and nets, and took videos.

The old neighbor advised her to kill the cat. Anyway, she was dying of old age. Killing a cat could change 1000 yuan. She doesn't understand why she has to kill to change money. The cat meat is not delicious, is it?

The blind woman regarded the cat as her friend. Of course, she was reluctant to kill the cat, so she protected the cat at home and wouldn't let it go out. Cats howl all day at home and can't sleep well, just like people have nightmares.

Finally one day, everyone came to her door and said that the cat was poisonous and asked her to hand it over. The blind woman has kept a cat for half her life. How can she not understand why the cat is poisonous? If she refused, people would rush in to catch the cat.

At this time, her son and daughter came to protect the old lady and quarreled with the neighbors. They said that the cat was their own cat. If they wanted to kill it, they had to kill their own people, and no outsiders could kill it. The neighborhood scattered.

The blind woman thought, it's her own life. It's time to help herself. But I didn't expect that as soon as the outsider left, the son and daughter quarreled over who would kill the cat, which was more intense than when they quarreled with the outsider just now.

The cat hid in the old lady's arms, with frightened eyes and trembling. The blind woman said you were going to kill me.

The daughter advised her, "Mom, are you? Give me the cat and I'll buy you a dog."

The son grabbed the cat and ran away. The daughter shouted and went after her brother. The blind woman was so angry that she fainted. She lay on the cold ground all night. When she woke up, she was cold and hungry. When she saw half a bowl of cat food left by the wall, she cried and stuffed it into her mouth.

The rain was pouring down without any sign of stopping. The blind woman walked home step by step with the snake skin bag on her back. She knew that what the little guy in the snake skin bag needed most now was food and fire. Maybe you can live! She thought.

Behind him came a crow cry. The blind woman was startled. She stumbled and almost fell.

A flash of lightning split the dark night. The blind woman looked back and saw a big crow flying from the garbage can, rushing into the rainstorm and croaking away.

The lightning went out and the night fell into thick darkness.

The Ruhua bar in Liuying lane is still open. The facade of the three large bays on the second floor is much richer than the small bar in the past, but today's heavy rain makes the business look a little deserted.

Mo Yu sang a soothing Serenade with his guitar on the stage. Xiao Qi sat in the bartender's position in the bar and chatted with his old customers.

Xiaoqi and Mo Yu are responsible for everything in the store. She will take the shift only on weekends or when she is very busy. She seems to have a real attitude of being a landlady. However, the sign of Ruhua bar is still her. Many people miss the wine made by master Hua in Liuying lane. They come here for a drink and take a look at the heroism of the woman who can chase the hooligans to the police station with a knife. So when she was there, business was particularly good.

Today, it rained heavily and there were few guests. I spent my whole life upstairs to help Qingmu tidy up his room. As long as you don't take care of this wonderful place, it will become an incredible mess. But what the lifelong flower doesn't understand is that the room where Aoki sleeps is always clean and spotless. Even if she doesn't help him clean for a month, the chicken feather duster can't dust a little.

Aoki stood at the window with a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the heavy rain outside the window. He let the rain float in and fall on him.

"Turn it off. Look at your smoke!"

Lifeflower was about to close the window when a dark shadow flew in like lightning, fell on the shelf, shook his body and croaked twice.

"Ah, you're back at last!" said the lifelong flower, taking the hair dryer and drying the crow. "I thought you were dead outside!"

"I mobilized the brothers of the whole city to look for it. Today, it was said that he was hiding in the reed marsh by the river in the outer city. I thought it made a living by fishing! As a result, I went to the nearby garbage can to dig and eat at night. What a poor guy! I went to look around and didn't see it. It was raining too hard. I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

The crow waited for his feathers to dry and lay comfortably on the sofa. "Hey, where's my elbow?"

Lifelong flower took the long prepared food box and said, "I know how to eat. Why don't I eat you to death!"
