Soon Han Jimei found out how crazy her brain tonic was.
Chu Kuang certainly can't write the plot of satire for the sake of satire.
There are two most precious things in this poor family. One is Mr. A's three generations' gold watch, and the other is Della's hair. If a rich and beautiful woman lives in an apartment opposite the patio, Mrs. a will one day hang her hair out of the window to dry, which will dwarf the lady's jewelry and gifts. If a rich man piles up all his wealth in the basement, Mr. A will take out his gold watch every time he passes by, so that the other party will blow his beard and stare with envy. 】
this is a very special way of expression.
Because Bluestar doesn't have the tone of English to Chinese translation, Han Jimei found this kind of expression very interesting when she saw it for the first time.
Well, Han Jimei already knows that Mrs. A is going to sell her hair.
It's a tough decision, because it's what Mrs. a loves and is proud of.
[her beautiful hair is scattered on her body, like a black waterfall, flowing and shining.
Her hair went down to her knees as if it were a dress.
She combed her hair nervously again.
She hesitated for a moment and stood still, one or two tears splashing on the worn red carpet. 】
the more words describe how beautiful Mrs. A's hair is,
the more Han Jimei can realize the woman's reluctance and bitterness.
But the woman finally sold her once proud hair and successfully got 20 yuan.
The gift she bought was a white watch strap, worth 23 yuan, which was a huge harvest after she haggled with her boss for half an hour.
With only 80 cents left on her body, Mrs. a went home with joy.
It turns out that
[Mr. Wang's watch is very expensive, but sometimes he just glances at it secretly because he only uses an old leather strap to replace the chain. 】
when she got home, she looked in the mirror repeatedly.
With short hair and bandage, she looks like a truant.
She began to worry.
Sir, will you be angry?
Will you scold me?
After all, he has praised his hair for countless times. Without long hair, is he still so beautiful in his heart?
She hesitated and worried.
Seeing this, Han Jimei couldn't help but feel sorry for this woman.
If there is a Tang Dynasty in this world, Han Jimei will certainly associate with the saying of "poor and humble couples mourn for everything", and then worry about it.
But what should come will come.
The story is still from Mrs. A's perspective:
[the door opens, her husband comes in and closes the door. He was thin and very serious. Poor man, he's only twenty-two years old - he's shouldering the burden of his family! He also needs a new coat, not even gloves. 】
she really loves her husband.
It's not that Chu Kuang has been using words to describe how sincere her love is, but through the details between the lines, we can see many emotions.
Will your husband be angry?
Han Jimei was a little afraid to look down, but she finally continued to look down:
["did you cut off your hair?" Mr. Wang asked with difficulty, as if he had racked his brains before he understood the obvious fact. 】
is this anger?
Han Jimei, like Mrs. a, is curious about Mr. Yu's psychology at the moment. She doesn't know if it will be a bus hand that will throw it at her next moment!
If so, she will not easily read Chu Kuang's novels in the future.
["not only cut it, but sell it." Mrs. a asked, "do you like me the same anyway? Even though I have no hair, I'm still me, aren't I? " 】
she was a little bit humble.
At this time, the story has come to an end.
Han Jimei couldn't figure out how the story would end until she saw the following passage:
[Mr. Han took out a bag of things from his coat pocket and threw it on the table.
"Don't get me wrong, honey." He said, "whether it's a haircut, a shave or a shampoo, my love for my girl will never diminish. But just open the bag and you'll see why you just froze me
White fingers quickly tore open the rope and wrapping paper. Then there was a cry of ecstasy; and then, alas! Suddenly turned into a female nervous tears and crying, immediately need the owner of the apartment to try to comfort her. 】
it's a comb!
In front of me, what my husband pulled out was the set of combs inserted in her hair -
a full set of combs, which were used at the temples and at the back;
it was originally in a window of the most prosperous street in the distance of her apartment. Mrs. a had been longing for something for a long time, but it was too expensive for her to bear, and she had no money to buy it.This is pure tortoiseshell! Beautiful combs with jewels on the side!
To match Mrs. A's lost hair, the color is really not suitable.
Madame knew that this hairbrush was very valuable. She had been fascinated for a long time, but she never had any hope of owning it. Now it was all for her, but the hair that wore the ornaments she had longed for was gone.
“……”
Han Jimei opened her mouth wide.
She can't describe her mood at the moment.
However, the words truthfully restored Mrs. A's mood with details: [she held the hairbrush in her arms. After a long time, she raised her misty tears and said to her husband with a smile: "my hair grows very fast!" 】
then Mrs. a took out her watch strap.
She looked at her husband expectantly and said, "is it beautiful, Jim? I found it all over the city. Now you have to read your watch a hundred times a day. Give me your watch. I'll see how it fits on it. " 】
Han Jimei smiles.
Although Mrs. a sold her hair, Mr. A was not angry, but sighed that the comb had lost its use for the time being.
The ending of the story is really full of beautiful images, which makes people almost want to fall in love, even though Han Jimei is a married woman.
I had a sip of tea.
Han Jimei looked at the last paragraph. She thought it would be a summary. Short stories like to make a summary at the end.
Like "this is a wonderful love"?
When she saw the following passage, her coffee table was about to be sprayed on the magazine:
[Mr. Chen didn't follow her advice.
He just fell on the couch, put his hands on his head and laughed: "it's so nice of us to put the Christmas presents aside and save them for the time being. It's a pity that they are used now - I sold my gold watch and bought your hair comb." 】
the story stops here.
At this moment, Han Jimei was stunned.
