The first chapter Sri Lankan 6745 if the rainbow (4)
Pingcheng County is a small coastal county with a small population and a slow pace of life.
Every summer, the sea water in Pingcheng always turns very blue and the scenery is beautiful. However, due to the underdeveloped economy, there are no tourists all year round.
Jiang Shu lives in an old building in this city.
Several old buildings were probably built decades ago. The distance between the buildings is very small, and the floors are very low. Most of them only have five or six floors. The walls are covered with cement, and there is no paint or decoration.
Whenever the sun shines, the residents in the building will take their quilts to the open-air balcony to dry them. Most of the residents here are elderly, and you can see elderly people sunbathing on the balconies.
The tangled wires outside the house cut the sky into pieces and criss-crossed them.
This area is very quiet. On weekdays, you rarely even hear the sound of car engines. Instead, you can often hear the shouts of vendors selling goods. Sometimes they are "selling pancakes and fruits" and sometimes they are "selling steamed buns and steamed buns." It is very lively.
Jiang Shu has been here for more than four months.
This morning, she went out to buy groceries with a big belly.
As soon as her neighbor's grandma, who was over sixty years old, saw her closing the door, she smiled and said, "Ah Shu, grandma can help you buy whatever you want to eat. It's inconvenient for you to have a big belly."
Grandma spoke with a local accent. At first, Jiang Shu couldn't quite understand their words, but she gradually became familiar with them.
Jiang Shu touched her belly and smiled brightly: "It doesn't matter, I also want to go out for a walk."
"That's right, that's right. Go buy groceries quickly. It's not fresh if you buy them late."
"good."
The sun was so bright today, Jiang Shu raised her head and squinted her eyes.
She had no makeup, her face was bare, and her big, watery eyes were full of luster.
Today Jiang Shu wore a loose white skirt, her hair was tied on top of her head, and she had no jewelry.
Everyone here recognized her and called her "A Shu". She told them that she had just divorced and came here alone to make a living.
The people here are simple and honest, and no one doubts what she said.
Jiang Shu is beautiful and dewy, and has a charming charm when she is not wearing makeup, which makes the elderly people like her very much.
In addition, she was pregnant, and the neighbors in the same building took good care of her.
"Ah Shu, I'm shopping for vegetables. What do you want to buy today?" The aunt at the vegetable market brought her a bag.
Jiang Shu bent down to pick up the vegetables and murmured: "Today I will make tomato and egg soup, stir-fry a plate of shredded green pepper and pork, and make a sweet and sour pork loin. If it is a vegetarian dish... stir-fry some bamboo shoots."
"Okay, Auntie will install it for you."
Jiang Shu smiled.
She cooks for herself every day and doesn't need to find a job for the time being. The money in her bank card is enough to support her and her baby.
"Ah Shu, your belly is so big. Could it be that you are pregnant with twins?" the aunt teased while getting her vegetables.
"No, no, it's because I eat too much. As you know, auntie, I have to buy a lot of food for myself every day. The portions you give me are generous, and my belly is getting bigger day by day." Jiang Shu touched her belly with a smile on her face.
smile.
"Is that a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know yet, but it's all good."
"Ah Shu, you look like a city dweller. You are fair and clean. You don't look like people from our small county."
"Maybe it's because I was born white. In fact, my hometown is also from the countryside."
As usual, Jiang Shu would chat with the vegetable seller for a few words, and after finishing the chat, she would leisurely return to her hut with the vegetables she bought.
