Chapter 111: A Conversation
"What's wrong?" Holding the simple ice pack he made, he turned around and handed it to Su Lin.
I took it and put it on my face, and then I felt that the previous discomfort had gradually disappeared. The hot feeling was taken away by the coolness brought by the ice cubes, and although I felt a lot better, I just bowed my head and didn't speak.
Seeing that she didn't want to answer, the security guard didn't ask anymore, and handed her a towel, "Take this and wrap it in your hand to wrap the ice pack, so you won't freeze your hands." ”
Looking at the white towel stretched out in front of her, Su Lin was stunned for a moment. Then he took it lightly, put the ice pack in the center of the towel, and put it on his face again.
"Young people are impulsive! Is this a quarrel with whom? Pulling the chair in front of the desk, the security guard sat down directly. When he didn't hear an answer, he took out a cigarette for himself. Take out the lighter and prepare the point. But he suddenly realized that Su Lin was there, and took it back stupidly.
"When I was young, I also had a temper, and I would fight with people in a few words." The security guard's eyes fell to the door, but his tone seemed to be with memories.
"At that time, I always offended people, and I couldn't do anything for long. The family is poor, and it is not as good as your life is now. But the poorer you are, the more arrogant people are, and at that time they didn't understand that they thought it was backbone, but in fact they were stupid! Uncle Security's final turn made Su Lin couldn't help but glance up.
"Why do you say that about yourself?" She asked softly, a little confused.
Seeing that she finally took care of herself, the uncle's tone calmed down, "When people are young, they should be humble and learn from others, and they are their own when they learn it." But at that time, I had just come out of society, and I didn't look at anything, thinking that I was the boss. Later, I saw more things and understood. ”
"How long have you been studying?" Seeing that he is just leisurely working as a security guard here, he can also express his own opinions.
"Well...... I was young at the time, and no one taught me, and I caused a lot of trouble, and I didn't have the intention of repenting after a long time. I can't listen to the advice of others, and I do everything my own way. He picked up the cigarette in his hand, sniffed it, and spoke again.
Su Lin didn't interrupt him anymore and listened to him intently.
"Later, I annoyed a group of people in society outside, broke a few ribs that time, and lay in bed for months." The security guard didn't feel ashamed when he talked about the events of the previous years, and he didn't say the specific details. The person sitting here listening to his story was just a little girl, and he just wanted to talk to someone, but he didn't need to be too detailed.
"It's nothing, it hurts and it passes. It's just that the family's savings were spent at that time. said that the savings were all saved by my daughter-in-law, where can I save money when I have an accident every three or five times and change jobs? ”
sighed lightly, "It's just that the house leak happened to rain overnight." Seeing that the family was surrounded by walls, my daughter-in-law didn't know that she had a child in her arms at that time. and take care of me, and I will work outside. Our first child was gone. I couldn't get out of bed at that time, she was taken to the hospital, and I didn't know the news at the time. It was only later that I heard that it was caused by overwork due to lack of nutrition. ”
The security guard's eyes were gradually reddened, and the cigarette in his hand was pinched by him. I saw her limping back with her stomach clutched, her face frighteningly white. I intuitively felt that something was wrong with her, and as soon as I asked, she just lay on the edge of the bed and started crying. ”
"Later, my mother rushed over from her hometown and hugged my daughter-in-law and cried in front of me!"
"I'll never forget that scene. Two of the dearest women in my life cried in despair in front of me. ”
After that, I concentrated on looking for a job, and I began to learn to be patient and control my temper, and learn techniques from the grumpy master. My family also started to get better, and slowly I opened my own shop. It's not that rich, at least the family is doing well. Later, with a daughter, she went to school in other places. My daughter-in-law was so worried all day that if she didn't call after a long time, my daughter-in-law would ask me several times. ”
Su Lin's eyes blinked slightly, and she thought for a while, "Then why are you here now?" ”
"My daughter is married, and my daughter-in-law and I have lived with her for a few years and a grandchild for a few years. But I always feel uncomfortable. Two years ago, my daughter-in-law passed away, and my daughter was worried about me alone and insisted on letting me come. My grandson is old enough to go to school, so I came here to work as a security guard. The uncle smiled faintly, and his kind face was full of kindness.
From his words, this uncle is not an uncle, and he still comes here to work as a security guard at this age? Does the company want to collect it?
Su Lin smiled, but she was just thinking about it in her heart, and she didn't ask about it.
The uncle seemed to see her thoughts, "I, the security guard, will help them sort out the documents and guard the door, and nothing big will happen in the community." If there is, there will be a bunch of young and strong young men, where will it be my turn to get an old bone! Hahaha......"
Su Lin pouted rarely, and glanced out the window, most of the time had passed. The ice cube in his hand was half melted, and because of the towel, the water would not run down his neck.
"Thank you, uncle, it's time for me to go!" Gently put down the towel and ice pack in her hand, nodded and smiled, she only felt that half of her face was unconscious.
The uncle glanced at her face, the redness and swelling had subsided a lot, and he nodded, "Well, I'll see you later." ”
He didn't speak, but nodded again. The gaze fell to the door.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to see each other again, because here she doesn't plan to come a second time.
In today's conversation, she has taken out her attitude directly. As for whether her mother accepted it, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
The next thing she had to do was to go according to her plan.
It's just that Su Lin just stepped out of the door of the security room with her front feet, and the uncle suddenly stopped her, "Little girl, you have to believe that everything will get better and better in the future." You just have to stick to what you think is right, and as for the past, let it pass! ”
Su Lin smiled and nodded, which was the next uncle's words.
In her opinion, the uncle's words seemed to be trying to persuade herself. It's just that she hasn't said anything about herself from beginning to end, how can the uncle understand?
I guess the uncle just thought he was out of love! After all, normal girls of her age are the treasures of the family, and now they are living a wanton life.
After leaving the community, she glanced back in the direction she had just walked, and then walked out without looking back.
Stick to what you think is right, and let the past pass. But what I insist on is the past!
