Ever since Yu Meng left without a sound, Duan Hong felt as if he had lost something in his heart. This feeling was like a calamity that had gone down her spine and emptied her of everything. Actually, but judging from her age, Duan Hong was not old at all. However, her face that had been ravaged by the passage of time had long since been riddled with wrinkles.

When Duan Hong looked at himself in the mirror, he saw his own fish-tail stripes, the wrinkles on his face, and some freckles. Her skin was getting rougher.

In rural areas, she would go out every day to work, or to work. The people she met were all people from the village, and everyone could talk about it. However, after Tang Tianbao had taken her to Chaozhou City and moved into a high-rise building, her circle of living had become smaller. Every day she barely went anywhere but down to the market to buy food. In this neighborhood, she didn't know anyone and didn't know who to talk to. The city was developed, but the people were alienated. She had always felt that there was a layer of estrangement between people. Perhaps it was the estrangement between the countryside and the cities. It was a type of feeling of inferiority that Duan Hong could not put into words.

Duan Hong usually went to a small restaurant in front of the district at around 5 PM to buy vegetables. Over time, she met a woman about her own age who also went out to buy vegetables, and their timing was the same and punctual. They walked out of the same unit one after the other, out of the same neighborhood, and finally to the same grocery store. Almost at the same time, they placed the dishes they had chosen in front of the shelf and started settling the accounts. Carrying their respective dishes, they walked back to the same district, the same unit. After a while, the two of them got to know each other. Duan Hong began trying to talk to that person.

"Buying vegetables?"

"Yeah, that's right."

At first, it was just a simple greeting, but when they met, they would only say a single sentence. Or perhaps, there was only a nodding and smiling face. Later Duan Hong found out that Zhang Shuhua lived alone, her son bought a house in the city, and her old wife went as well.

Be compassionate and compassionate with each other.

Duan Hong started chatting with his neighbor downstairs. Every day, they would all go to the grocery store together, talking and laughing along the way.

Duan Hong knows that person's name is Zhang Shuhua, his hometown is Hebei. She married later to Chaozhou. Her wife had died many years ago, and she had lived by herself all these years. She looked optimistic and strong, but her hair was mostly white. After all, the loss of her father was a huge blow to her.

The two of them were equally bored. They had plenty of time, but they didn't know how to spend it. Zhang Shuhua started to ask about Duan Hong's family affairs. Sometimes, what women couldn't avoid together was discussing their own family matters, because other than these housewives being familiar with their own family matters, they knew almost nothing about the outside world. Other than the topic of their families, they didn't know what else to talk about.

Duan Hong had no qualms about talking about family matters. She had frankly told her neighbors downstairs about her family's situation; however, Zhang Shuhua was an open person, so she had no qualms about it.

Duan Hong said, "Right now, I'm only relying on my son to survive."

"You have a son with you. I can't do it. " Zhang Shuhua said in envy.

"Don't you have girls as well?" Duan Hong hinted.

"Yes, there is. "It can be considered as having both a child and a child." As Zhang Shuhua spoke to here, she couldn't help but let out a sigh. However, she continued to speak, "There is no difference between having one and not having one. This city not only has my children, but also a relative, but these things are all useless to me, just a memory. "

"How can you say that?" Duan Hong was curious. This is better than nothing. What's going on?

After asking, Duan Hong suddenly felt that something wasn't right. Since Zhang Shuhua said there was a difference, it meant that her son and daughter had some sort of role to play.

Zhang Shuhua was silent for a moment. She did not want to answer Duan Hong's question. She did not want to reveal her family's shame.

Duan Hong knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed the topic, "The weather today is really good, so it's suitable for us to walk around. It'll probably get hot in a few days."

Duan Hong brought Zhang Shuhua's brain over, but she still hasn't recovered from the memory. Although she knew that her family was shameful and untouchable, her own children were too unfilial. She didn't want to talk about their wickedness, but she always felt that her heart was a bit unbalanced.

"Sigh, my children are unfilial." Zhang Shuhua sighed.

"Oh?" Duan Hong asked.

"You don't know, they hardly ever come to see me. Although I live in the same city as them, it is harder than climbing into the sky to meet them. You see, it doesn't matter if I have children like that right? " Zhang Shuhua lamented as he silently lamented in his heart.

"Big sis, don't say that." Duan Hong persuaded Zhang Shuhua and put her hand on her shoulder, "Look, didn't your children buy you that big house? They are busy with their work, so as parents, we should be more considerate towards them. "

"What's the use of a house? No matter how big the house is, I'm the only one who lives here. Before I know you, I can't even find a speaker. You said, I was alone in my house all day and I was sick of worrying. " Zhang Shuhua recounted his frustration.

"In the future, if you want to talk to someone, come to my house. Anyway, I'm just one person, and it's just right that the two of us can have a chat. I feel like I'm in a good temper with you, and we're in the same boat, so women should treat themselves better. We just need to be happy in our own lives, and stop blaming our children. " Duan Hong continued to persuade Zhang Shuhua.

Zhang Shuhua nodded at Duan Hong, revealing a smile on her face. When she smiled, the wrinkles on her face were obvious.

"Aren't you happy? I don't see anything wrong with you. " Duan Hong said.

Actually, I'm already used to it. The days are already like this, what use is it for me to wash my face with tears all day long? Isn't life still the same? I am also thinking right now, I can buy and wear whatever I want to eat. Life was only a matter of a few decades. "The things that bother me is just a moment of complaint and complaint. We sisters have lost our temper, that's why I'm nagging at you about this." Zhang Shuhua was an extremely optimistic person. Although she had a lot of grudges in her heart, she would never let them go easily. She would never sleep in peace because of these things.

"Hey, by the way, is your son married?" Since Zhang Shuhua could normally see Tang Tianbao, in her impression of him, he was no longer young.

"Not yet. "There's never been anything suitable." Duan Hong sighed.

"How old are you?" Zhang Shuhua asked. When she was young, Zhang Shuhua had been a matchmaker, so she was very interested in this.

"Twenty-eight." When Duan Hong said it, he felt embarrassed. His own son was already 28 years old, and yet he still hadn't found his target. What a pity, this was too embarrassing!

Zhang Shuhua looked at Duan Hong's helpless expression and said, "Not considered big." There were still many men and women left in the city. A bunch of them, they don't want us to be in the countryside anymore. Young people these days are busy with their careers. "

"Yeah. However, as parents, we must be very anxious. " Duan Hong laughed as he spoke.

Zhang Shuhua also laughed and said, "Isn't it so? They were all waiting to pick up their grandsons. "Haha …"

"Right, is your son married yet?" Duan Hong asked.

"They're married, but they haven't taken a child yet. The two of them said they want to play for two years before asking for a child. Sigh, I just don't understand what these youngsters are thinking right now. "

"What do you want them to do? A child shall have his own blessings and blessings. " Duan Hong said. However, she had no choice but to think about Tang Tianbao and her dreams. Duan Hong sighed with emotion. Why do these two children have no fate? Originally … Sigh, the matter was already over. There was no point in thinking too much.

At this time, Zhang Shuhua waved her hand in front of Duan Hong's eyes and asked, "How is it?"

"How about what?" Duan Hong was completely unaware of what Zhang Shuhua had just said to him.

"I said, I met someone suitable that day. I want to introduce someone to your son." Zhang Shuhua repeated what he said just now.

"Oh, that's great. I'll thank you on behalf of my Little Treasure. " Duan Hong said politely.

"We've already called each other sisters, there's no need for you to be polite." Zhang Shuhua said without a care.

Duan Hong was a person who understood etiquette. Even though Zhang Shuhua only mentioned it this way, she had to follow etiquette. This habit was formed when she was in her hometown in the countryside. Even though the countryside was not as prosperous as the cities, there were many more rules than the cities. Furthermore, everyone followed the rules and followed the rules. In a city, it was different. Even if there was a Town Security, no one would follow the rules. A city valued money, not face. Because they were all strangers, there was no need to care about face.

Zhang Shuhua was riding a tiger and it was hard to dismount. She didn't know much people in Chaozhou, so how could she introduce him to Duan Hong's son? The city wasn't like the countryside, it was hard to find single people. Although everyone knew that there were many old people in the city who were still single, but what did these single people have to do with her, Zhang Shuhua? Those who didn't know each other couldn't just look at a single woman and say, "Miss, let me introduce you to someone."

Zhang Shuhua kept dragging this matter on, but every day, she had to see Duan Hong's anxious face. Although Duan Hong did not urge her, the more he did not urge her, the more anxious Zhang Shuhua became. His words were like water being poured over her head, making her unable to retrieve them.

Helplessly, Zhang Shuhua thought of her relative.
