Chapter 535

The front door of Shen's family has always been neat and clean. It's not that no one comes here to bask in the sun, it's because there is an activity room for the elderly not far from here.

There you can sit on wicker chairs and chat, drink tea and play chess, play table tennis, read newspapers, read and write, and there are many entertainment activities.

The old people sunbathing I just mentioned are all at the door of the senior citizen activity room.

People are social animals. When they get older, they prefer to be lively and quiet. Most of them like to get together with their old friends, so it is rare to see an elderly person sitting alone and basking in the sun in a daze.

So Shen Jiawen and Shen Mingxi also felt a little strange, because they didn't know this person.

Although he doesn't look like a beggar, he doesn't look like someone from the countryside. From a distance, it feels a little out of place.

At this time, the door of Shen's house was closed, and the two of them quickly walked up to it, and then discovered that there was also a shabby, colorless canvas bag placed next to the old lady.

When I got closer, I realized that the old man was wearing a black, side-breasted cotton-padded jacket like that worn by old ladies in the countryside.

The color of the cotton pants is similar.

The old lady lowered her head and couldn't tell what she looked like, but her skin could still be seen to be somewhat rough and quite dark. Her gray hair was casually pulled into a bun and tied with a leather sheath.

It seems that he really comes from the countryside. Is he a relative of the Shen family?
Otherwise, why would she be sitting here? When I looked at her from a distance, I thought she was squatting. When I got closer, I discovered that she was sitting against the wall.

At this time, the door of the Shen family is still closed. I don’t know if the Shen family knows that there is such a person outside. It would be fine if there are more neighbors here, but it is obviously so close to the door of my home, that means there is someone. purpose.

Shen Jiawen frowned and didn't let his sister come forward. He put the things in his hands at the door and walked quickly towards this side. At this time, the old lady also noticed someone coming to the door of Shen's house.

She raised her head suddenly.

Shen Jiawen's expression remained unchanged, and the same was true for Shen Mingxi. They did not know this old lady, but for some reason this old lady seemed to be relieved after seeing these two people.

Then her expression became obscure, and many complex emotions flashed through her eyes. It seemed that she knew the two people in front of her, or perhaps guessed who they were.

That's strange, who is this man?
Shen Jiawen did not delay, but squatted in front of him and asked politely and gently, "Old man, who are you looking for?"

First of all, we need to determine whether this person is looking for the Shen family.

The old lady's chapped lips moved. She was dark and thin. She stretched out her right hand, trembling a little. Shen Jiawen saw that her right hand was not only dark and thin, but also had frostbite.

In the winter here, although the trees are still green and the flowers are still blooming, it is really cold. Its heating method is different from that in the north. There is no fire wall heater or heated ondol.

The Shen family brought this living habit in. In the house where the old man lived, as well as in the room where Shen Yu and the others lived, there was a big kang. There is a separate kitchen for cooking, so you have to cook it alone when you sleep at night. Fire is not a problem for Chen Li and others, so in winter, the room is warm even with the big kang.

The same was true for the rooms including Shen Mingxi and others.

Some living habits cannot be changed in a short while, and it seems that this old lady works often in winter, otherwise she would not have frostbite on her hands.

Shen Jiawen's voice became gentler, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

"Old man, you can't stay here all the time, the weather will get cold in a while, tell me, is there someone you are looking for here?"

"I I I..."

The old lady called me three words, but she didn't say who she was looking for. Her voice was hoarse and her lips were chapped, as if she hadn't drank water for a long time.

No matter how much you sympathize with her, you can't rashly invite the old lady into your home without asking why.

Shen Mingxi thought that the slender Shen Jiawen might have frightened her, but she was a little girl, so she looked much weaker, so she saw that the old man didn't speak, so she hurried forward and repeated what her elder brother said.

Because this stalemate is not an option.

But I didn't expect that the old lady's trembling lips still didn't say anything.

Looking at the door of Shen's house, Shen Mingxi was thinking, he didn't know who was at home. No one had opened the door for so long.

Obviously, he really didn't know that there was an old lady staying here outside the door.

Shen Jiawen stood up, took a few steps back, and frowned slightly. He had clearly seen the old lady's expression just now, so he did not dare to say anything else rashly.

So he said to Shen Mingxi beside him, "Xiaoxi, go back first. I'll see what's going on here."

Shen Mingxi took the things without hesitation. The Shen family's old house was on a relatively high ground. There were five steps at the door, which were made of large bluestone slabs. Shen Mingxi stood at the door and started knocking gently.

There is no iron general guarding the door outside, and there are people at home.

But at this time, such a knock on the door made the old lady a little uneasy, she wanted to look this way but didn't dare to look, Shen Jiawen's feeling of strangeness in her heart became more and more serious.

There was even a faint guess in his heart, and at this moment, the door was opened, and Shen Hongxiu's gentle voice came from inside, "It's Jiawen Xiaoxi who has returned..."

The voice was the same as usual, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the joy in it. After all, it has been several months since the two children were seen.

At this moment, hearing this voice, the old lady stood up suddenly, looked in the direction of the door, took a few steps forward, but suddenly stopped.

And Shen Jiawen stared at the old lady with some caution. Recently, the old lady really didn't say anything from beginning to end. He didn't even know her name.

If you don’t know anything, how can you not be prepared?
And this old lady came face to face with Shen Hongxiu who came out of the big courtyard.

Shen Hongxiu's pupils suddenly tightened, and he stared at the old lady in front of him with shocked and incredible eyes, and the old lady did the same.

Afterwards, the old lady turned around abruptly, she didn't even want her bag, and staggered towards the front, Shen Hongxiu couldn't help shouting from behind, with a somewhat frantic voice, "Luo Aofu, stop for me. "

Luo Aofu.

This name was not unfamiliar. The two brothers and sisters standing at the door realized who this woman was. She was actually the grandmother they had never met before.

But what should we do now?
