Gao Fei didn't object to the old woman's saying that she was humble: if this place can't be called "cold house", then there will be no such saying in the world.
The whole cold house is about 10 square meters. It has all kinds of furniture. At first glance, it's picked from the garbage, refrigerator, color TV, air conditioning sofa and so on. Besides the sofa, Gao Fei doesn't know whether the color TV can be seen or not.
In the southeast corner, there is a small window. On both sides of the dark wall, there are more than ten pictures. Because the light is dim, we can't see who is on it.
"Young man, what would you like to drink?"
The old woman put down her bag and went to the refrigerator to open it.
To goofy's surprise, the refrigerator worked.
"Oh, come on, I'm not very thirsty."
Goofy shook his head and was about to say goodbye.
He didn't punish the three little gangsters to help the old lady, just because Mike called him a yellow monkey, so he didn't need to regard himself as a benefactor.
On the contrary, with the help of the old woman, he escaped the "pursuit" of the police.
"Ha ha, have some coffee. Don't worry. It will be more than ten hours before it expires."
With a smile, the old woman took out two cups, pointed to the sofa and said, "sit down first. Don't mention it. Take this place as your home."
My family is not so shabby - at least after leaving the dormitory of the cement plant, it is no longer so shabby.
Goofy saw the old woman's enthusiasm and sat down with a smile.
"My name is Devra. You can call me Madame Devra."
As she was busy making coffee, the old woman said, "before, when my husband was alive, we used to live in a villa and have our own garden... That time is really memorable."
Goofy didn't say anything. He took the cigarette out of his pocket and opened it. It was just an empty cigarette case.
Madame de fura put her coffee on the old tea table and said with a smile, "no more cigarettes?"
"Well."
Goofy nodded. Madame de fura took the bag and took out a box of cigarettes: "this box of cigarettes is for you. It's a reward for your help. Please forgive me. This is the highest reward I've given. I borrowed money to sell the rest of the cigarettes. I have to sell them to pay off. "
Gao Fei took the cigarette, tore it open and lit it. Then he took out a bill and handed it to him: "take another box. I've never been cheap."
"What's your name, young man?"
Madame de flora took the note, looked at the denomination and said, "ha ha, five hundred dollars. I don't have much change."
"My name is goofy."
Goofy waved his hand and said, "if you can't find it, it's a tip."
In fact, goofy has some change on him. He takes out the biggest bill, just wants to help Mrs. Devra.
It's a virtue to help a widowed old woman if you can.
To Gao Fei's surprise, Madame de fura pushed the money back, her light blue eyes shining in the light: "young man, thank you for your kindness. But what I want to tell you is that if I want to accept the help of others, I will not live in such a place. I can live a good life with the help of the people my husband helped. "
Goofy looked at her and said nothing.
"Come with me, young man."
Madame de flora patted the old sofa and walked to the small window.
Goofy stood up and followed.
Mrs. Devra picked up a flashlight from the window, turned it on and looked at the wall: "my husband, Mr. max, was the best obstetrician and gynecologist in the city before he died. He has worked for many important people, including officials and billionaires - do you see these pictures?"
Goofy followed Madame de la's flashlight and found that the pictures on the wall were all mother and son's.
Madame de fura's voice is deep and contains the magnetic force of happiness: "my husband max, is an excellent man..."
Through Mrs. Devra's narration, Gao Fei understands Mr. Max: he is an authoritative expert in obstetrics and gynecology in the city. He is usually only responsible for guiding work. Only when students or other doctors encounter problems, he will fight in person.
Those who were rescued, in order to thank Dr. max, would certainly express their gratitude through money, but they were all rejected: Mr. and Mrs. Max are believers of a mysterious Indian religion, and they would never accept other people's thanks, and they would only receive the necessary rewards according to their efforts.
Since Mr. Max does not accept the kindness, those pregnant women who have been saved by him can only express their gratitude in another way: to present their mother and son photos to him to show the highest respect, especially to his mother and son, who will send him recent photos of their mother and son every once in a while.
To this kind of gift, Mr. Max gladly accepted, and saved those photos, as a precious Memorial, to commemorate the joy of saving lives.
In his 23 years as a doctor, Mr. Max had only one failed operation.
At the time of the operation three months ago, he was suffering from a high fever - an accident happened. The pregnant woman with dystocia on the operating table mountain never got off the operating table again.
It was the only failed operation that cost Dr. Max his life: the pregnant woman who died of dystocia was the wife of the local black boss. Dr. Max was accused in court, and the court finally ruled that he had to pay huge compensation to the family members of the deceased.
On his way home the next day after he lost his property and paid a huge amount of compensation, Mr. Max was shot in the head. Mrs. Devra, who lost both money and money, moved out of her villa and came to this slum.
"I am a devout" prandsar "believer, and I will go to heaven after I die. I believe Max will wait for me in heaven and watch me, so no matter how hard life is, my spirit is the richest."
After telling her husband's story, Mrs. Devra gently stroked a pair of mother and son photos and murmured, "if I look at these photos before going to bed every day, I will feel Max's existence. He is waiting for me."
After listening to Madame de fura's words patiently, goofy laughed with disapproval. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly coagulated and he reached for her flashlight.
Madame de flora was startled. Before saying anything, goofy pointed to a picture and asked in a trembling voice, "who is this woman?"
"She? Oh, her name is daisy. She's a beautiful girl
Madame de fura came up to the picture, looked at the woman in the picture carefully, and asked, "young man, do you know her?"
"Daisy? She said her name was Daisy
Goofy stares at the photo, his eyes beating: This is Nell, absolutely Nell! And around her neck, she was wearing the platinum necklace that goofy had given her.
Under the platinum necklace, there is a concentric knot, which is specially made by Mr. Fu, a teacher in the Chinatown gold shop. This necklace is unique.
Seeing a picture of Nell in a strange place is not enough to make goofy lose his attitude.
What made him unable to control his emotions was that he was full of happiness, smiling sweetly, and holding a baby in her arms. It was a new mother's smile, great and pure.
Gao Fei raised his hand and wiped his eyes. He looked at the lower right corner of the picture. It was a year and a half ago that the picture was on it.
A year and a half ago, it was nine months since Gao Fei left Ni'er and returned to China.
"Nine months after I left her, she had a baby. Nine months later, she had a baby!"
Gao Fei murmured, the corner of his eye beat more severely, and a huge invisible pressure made him almost breathless: "that child, is it mine?"
Gao Fei clearly remembers that in the half year before returning home, he and Nell were in old George's manor, inseparable and affectionate. If Nell is pregnant, it can only be his child.
Seeing gopher staring at the picture like a demon and mumbling to herself, Mrs. Devra stepped back and knocked a cup on the window cabinet.
With a clatter and a broken glass nose, Gao Fei wakes up and suddenly turns back.
Madame de flora shrunk her neck subconsciously and said with a strong smile, "young man, do you know Daisy?"
Gao Fei swallowed hard, pointed to the picture and asked in a dumb voice: "this child, was she born?"
Madame de fura nodded hard: "yes, as I said just now, these photos are taken by mother and son."
She really has a baby!
Since she had my child, why didn't she tell me?
Why marry another man!
Why?
Gao Fei felt dizzy and sat on the window.
"Young man, what's the matter with you?"
Madame de flora wanted to come, but she did not dare.
"I, I'm fine. I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm just a little excited, too excited."
Goofy took a deep breath, scratched his hair, looked up and asked, "Ma'am, do you have any other news about denie and this Daisy?"
"Other news?"
Madame de fura was stunned, then she opened the drawer and took out a photo album: "you wait, I'll show you - Oh, some mothers who were saved by Mr. max, in order to express their gratitude to him, will send a picture every few months to ask him to share the joy of the healthy growth of the child. I remember there are pictures of Daisy's mother and son in it."
Goofy rushed to the past and saw that the thick album was full of mother and son photos.
After a long time, Madame de flora exclaimed in surprise, "yes, this is Daisy..."
Before she finished, goofy snatched the album.
According to the latest date above, the latest photo was taken in August this year, before Dr. Max was assassinated.
It seems that after his death, he did not receive any more pictures of Nell.
The seven photos are like a slow camera, which allows Goofy to see the baby in Nell's arms, growing from swaddling to running, growing from an insignificant clown to a lovely doll.
The last picture seems to be taken in the nursery. Nell is crouching on the ground, holding her son in one hand and holding the slide in the other. Behind is the grass. There are many toys and some children playing on the grass.
In her arms, Ni'er is a little boy, obviously of mixed race, with black hair, straight nose, slightly introverted eyes, and some familiar shadow of Gao Fei.
Staring at the recent photo, Gao Fei looked at it for ten minutes and deeply impressed the child's appearance in his mind. He was so excited that he wanted to forget to shout that he had a son. He had a son!
Gao Fei was silent for a long time, but his whole body was shaking, which made Madame de fura worried about him: "young man, are you ok?"
Goofy pointed to the photo, looked up and said incoherently, "do you know who he is? He, he is my son, my son
