The woman was kind-hearted. When she heard that she wanted to buy fruit cake, she smiled and said, "I happen to be going in that direction. Why don't I take you there with me?"
Wen Tong was naturally very happy when she heard this, and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Auntie."
The woman was very talkative and introduced the town's architecture and features to Wen Tong. Wen Tong listened with great interest.
"Let's just talk about this fruit cake. It's a major feature of our town. Every outsider who comes here must bring a bag. Girl, who are you buying it for?"
"My son."
The woman had to look at her again and shook her head in surprise, "I couldn't tell. I thought you were a student visiting."
Wen Tong smiled and said: "My son is five years old. Auntie, let me show you his photo."
"Okay." The woman immediately showed great interest.
Wen Tong found Ding Ding's photo on her phone and brought it to the woman.
The woman looked at the phone screen with a smile. When she saw this little man with the same face, beautiful eyebrows, pink lips, and a hint of clever cunning in his eyes, her face suddenly changed.
Chang, hurriedly took Wen Tong's mobile phone and looked at it carefully.
"He...what's his name?" The woman's hand holding the phone trembled a little.
Wen Tong said: "The nickname Ding Ding was given by his uncle."
"Ding Ding, Ding Ding." The woman repeated, the light of memories flashed in her eyes, and many past events flooded into her mind, putting a happy smile on her face, but soon this smile was replaced by a kind of loneliness, and she
Reluctantly, she returned the phone to Wen Tong, "The little guy is so good-looking. I wonder what his father does?"
Wen Tong smiled unnaturally, "His father is just an ordinary businessman."
"Oh." The woman looked obviously disappointed.
Wen Tong was puzzled by the series of changes in her expression just now. Just when she was about to say something else, the dessert shop arrived.
The woman pointed to the store with the red door next to her, "That's right here."
When Wen Tong saw this dessert shop that she had been looking for so hard, the incident just now was forgotten. She happily said to the woman: "Auntie, thank you very much."
"You're welcome." The woman waved her hand, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Auntie."
The back of the woman turned around looked a little lonely. Wen Tong looked at it and felt a little sad. However, she was in a foreign place, so she still told herself not to mind her own business. She bought fruit cake and had to catch the last bus.
She pushed open the door and entered, and the clerk politely shouted: "Welcome."
Wen Tong chose a few of Ding Ding's favorite flavors and brought some to Wen's mother.
By the time she walked out the door, the sun had already begun to set.
She looked at her watch and saw that there was still half an hour before the departure time, so she had to hurry up.
Unexpectedly, she didn't go far when she suddenly saw four or five people gathered in front of her to watch the fun. She didn't pay attention to it at first, but suddenly a vegetable basket rolled to her feet, and the fruits and vegetables in it were scattered everywhere.
I was surprised, could it be...that aunt just now?
Wen Tong hurriedly ran over and pushed through the crowd. It was the beautiful woman lying in the middle of the road.
She was covering her stomach with one hand, her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely in pain.
"What's wrong with this old lady? She seems to have gastroenteritis."
"Oh, don't mind your own business, it might happen to you. Not long ago, someone saved an old man who was hit by a car. He suddenly said that he had hit him, but he lost a lot of money in vain."
"I even picked up my cell phone and wanted to return it, but it was said to be blackmail."
"In this society, people's hearts are really becoming more and more indifferent."
"Forget it, don't ask for trouble."
While everyone was discussing, a petite figure suddenly rushed in, helped the woman on the ground without saying a word, and asked nervously: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
The woman opened her closed eyes and said reluctantly: "My belly..."
"Auntie, I will take you to the hospital now." Wen Tong stared at the crowd watching the excitement and said angrily: "If you don't help, forget it, don't block the road."
As he said that, he struggled to lift the woman up. She was not very strong and the woman was stronger than her. It took a lot of effort for Wen Tong to lift her up from the ground.
The woman kept moaning, as if she was in great pain. Wen Tong wiped her sweat and said comfortingly: "Auntie, please bear with me, I'll call a car."
Perhaps her brave behavior infected passers-by. A middle-aged man hurriedly called a taxi, and someone helped him to help the woman get in.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor immediately pushed the woman into the emergency room.
The final test result was urgent appendicitis, requiring immediate surgery.
The woman also agreed, but when the family members signed, a problem arose. The doctor asked Wen Tong, "What is your relationship with the patient?"
Wen Tong was stunned. She couldn't say that she was just a passerby. The doctor would definitely not let her sign.
She turned around and looked at the woman in embarrassment. The woman was sweating profusely in pain and managed to say, "She is my daughter-in-law."
Wen Tong nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I am her daughter-in-law."
The doctor said: "Sign it and pay the deposit."
Wen Tong ran to pay the deposit and go through the formalities. After a set of procedures, the woman was finally sent to the operating room. She looked at her empty hands and suddenly realized, oh, where is the fruit cake?
But now she can no longer go shopping, and she has to stay here until the operation is over.
She didn't know if the old woman had any relatives, so she had to inform her, but there was no clue about the woman, so she could only wait until she came out.
After such a delay, Wen Tong couldn't go back today, so she called her home to report that she was safe and continued to stay outside the operating room.
In the evening, the operation was finally over. The woman was safe and the broken appendix was successfully removed.
She seemed very surprised to see Wen Tong. She didn't expect that this passerby girl was still here.
However, when I think about it, someone else paid for your medical expenses in advance.
"Auntie, do you have your family's phone number? I'll let them know." Wen Tong sat beside the hospital bed and pulled the corner of the quilt for her.
After the operation, her body was still very weak. The woman whispered: "I have no family, and I have always lived by myself."
Wen Tong suddenly felt pitiful for her. How difficult and lonely it must be to live alone at such an old age.
"My surname is Fang, and my name is Fang Lan. Hello." The woman smiled hard. She really liked this kind-hearted girl whom she met by chance.
"My name is Wen Tong, warm Wen, pupil Tong." Wen Tong also introduced herself enthusiastically.
"Miss Wen..."
"Just call me Xiaotong."
Fang Lan hummed, "Xiao Tong, my money is at home. Can you go get it for me? I have to return the money to you."
"Aunt Fang, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait until you recover."
Fang Lan insisted and refused, "We are neither relatives nor friends. I can't spend your money. If you don't get it, I won't hang up the needle." She stubbornly wanted to get up and pull the needle in her hand.
Wen Tong said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go."
Fang Lan then smiled in relief, "Thank you."
Wen Tong asked the nurse to take care of her, and took the key and address given by Fang Lan and went to her home.
She lives in an old-fashioned tube building. The residents in the entire corridor share a toilet and a sink, and the conditions are very simple.
Wen Tong stepped over the clutter piled up on the stairs and arrived at Fang Lan's home.
Her residence is only 40 square meters. Although it is small, it is kept very clean.
Wen Tong followed the direction she directed and found the small cabinet beside her bed. When she opened the cabinet, there was an iron box with a pattern of biscuits painted on it. It looked very old.
After opening the iron box, there was a passbook and several photos inside. She had no intention of peeking into other people's privacy, but the first photo after picking up the passbook attracted all her eyes.
