Chapter 214 Goodwill
Zhang Caihe got up and ran towards the sidewalk. Because the road was full of potholes, pebbles and sand, she bared her teeth and cursed.
Running to the sidewalk, a few very long trucks pulling furniture happened to drive over, so she had to worry with bare feet.
When she crossed the road, she was dumbfounded.
There is no trace of them at all.
Her sense of direction was not strong to begin with, and one of her shoes was missing, making it difficult for her to wander around, so she knelt down by the sewer and quickly picked up the shoe while no one was paying attention. .
The shoes were already filthy and smelled so bad that she almost shed tears.
These are new shoes she made for herself, still made of gold velvet fabric.
Damn it!
She lifted up her clothes, took out a handkerchief to wipe sweat from her trouser pocket, gritted her teeth, and began to clean her shoes.
After a while, the yellowed white handkerchief turned so black that the original color could not be seen.
Zhang Caihe was not willing to throw it away, so she endured it, pinched off the dirty water on it, and stuffed the handkerchief into her trouser pocket.
This scene happened to be seen by an aunt who had just returned from the vegetable market.
The aunt walked over, handed over a packet of paper, and said: "Here, take this to wipe. Did you accidentally step into the ditch?"
How can a strange eldest sister give such a gift? She was kind, but her daughter, who had grown up by pooping and peeing...
Zhang Caihe felt sour and tears fell down.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Caihe wiped her tears and said, "Sister, I, I really can't say it, I feel embarrassed."
"What's going on? Did someone bully you? "
"My life is miserable. I came to the county town to find my daughter and son-in-law, but they kicked me out of the house. My daughter even threw my shoes into the stinking ditch."
The aunt was shocked and immediately sympathized with Zhang Caihe.
She is also a mother and has a son and daughter, but she is luckier and her son and daughter are more filial. Although they all work away from home, they often call her and come back to stay with her during holidays. .
But she has also seen poor people who are unfilial, and she can't help but lend a helping hand to these people.
She said: "My house is nearby, why don't you go to my house and wash these shoes? I have a hair dryer at home, just blow it and they will dry."
Zhang Caihe thought about it That's fine. I don't know how much water and washing powder it will cost when I go back to wash it.
The aunt took her to the gate of Yufujiaozi Community.
Zhang Caihe looked at the real estate and was dumbfounded.
This gate is too luxurious. Just like in the movie, there is a security guard standing at the door.
Looking around, the community is like a park, full of green, and the ground is as clean as if it had just been swept.
She looked at the dirty shoes on her feet and suddenly felt a little afraid to step forward.
The aunt seemed to notice her hesitation, and smiled gently: "It doesn't matter, let's go in."
Zhang Caihe dug into his shoes with his feet, not daring to look at the security guard, and walked into the community with his head lowered.
To say that she was just a little embarrassed just now, when she stood at the door of No. 502 with her aunt, she was completely stunned.
This room is just like a palace.
Although, she doesn’t know what the palace is like.
The door is a mahogany carved door, with gleaming door handles and exquisite decorative strips inlaid on the door frame.
The ground is covered with a thick carpet of red peonies.
She stepped back, even though she was still one meter away from the carpet, as if the dirt on the dirty shoes had grown feet and escaped.
The aunt smiled and said: "Wait a moment, I will help you get your slippers."
As she said that, she inserted the key, turned it a few times, and opened the door with a "click" sound. Turned on the light switches at the door and in the living room.
Zhang Caihe was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.
The living room is spacious and bright, with smooth tiles on the floor, reflecting light like a mirror. The ceiling is decorated with gorgeous chandeliers, and the light is soft, making the whole room look particularly luxurious.
The aunt opened the shoe cabinet at the entrance, took out a pair of white plastic slippers, put them on the carpet at the door, and said, "Just wear these."
Zhang Caihe stretched out his right foot wearing socks, wiped it on his pants again and again, and then put his foot into the slipper.
These slippers are so soft, it feels like stepping on sponge, very comfortable.
After stretching out her left foot, she hesitated.
This foot was wearing the smelly dirty shoes just now, and the socks were also dirty at this time.
She didn't know what to do.
She can't get these dirty things on her new pants.
The aunt said: "It doesn't matter, you can take off your socks and wash them with the shoes later."
"But I'm afraid that such clean shoes will be dirty."
" Go to the bathroom and take a shower to clean it up.”
Zhang Caihe gritted his teeth and took off his socks. Maybe because of the original smell of the sewage, the smell on his feet was not very obvious. The dirt on them is in sharp contrast to the white slippers.
It’s like I haven’t washed my feet in ten years.
She felt it herself, blushed, and put her foot in a little more, hoping to be covered by the slippers.
The lady didn't seem to mind and said, "Come in and sit down first. I'll boil the water for you first. It's better to use hot water to wash your feet."
The water heater at this time needs Boil water manually.
With that said, she went to turn on the water switch outside the bathroom, then walked to the door and pulled Zhang Caihe to the sofa.
Zhang Caihe looked around and saw several exquisite decorative paintings hanging on the wall, a green potted plant on the coffee table, and a large color TV on the TV cabinet.
Zhang Caihe had never seen a TV before, so she asked: "What is this?"
"TV, I'll turn it on for you and watch it. You sit down."
Zhang Caihe touched the sofa. , sat down and said: "Such a big TV? I have never seen it before."
The aunt smiled and explained: "This is the latest color TV, the picture is very clear and the sound is good."
As she spoke, she pressed the TV switch.
The TV happened to be on CCTV-6, and a costume movie was being played.
Zhang Caihe was stunned.
What a clear picture.
Much better than the movies shown in the village.
“There are other channels.” The aunt said, then opened the small channel adjustment door on the right side of the TV, and clicked randomly on the two rows of small buttons.
Following her movements, the pictures on the TV screen also switched, including children's stations, music stations, sports stations, etc.
Zhang Caihe felt that his life in the past few decades had been in vain.
I haven’t seen anything.
“Sister, how much does this TV cost?”
“My son bought it, I heard it costs more than a thousand.”
More than a thousand, that’s not it. It was expensive, she thought it would cost tens of thousands.
I think the phone installed at home would cost 2800.
Had she known this, she shouldn't have installed that crappy phone then. It would be great to buy a TV so that she could relieve her boredom every night.
She had completely forgotten that the phone was installed on credit.
One thing she still doesn’t know is that the account of more than two thousand yuan has been transferred to her precious daughter Guan Lei.
The aunt looked at the indicator light of the water heater and said: "The water is boiled, you can go wash it."
