Poplar Mom

A north wind blowing, Shilu winter to go. There can be no real winter. Hot and cold weather, the day the sun is still sub-tropical climate. To the cold wind at night, and wear a cashmere sweater and coat. Whether the weather is cold is hot, the days still have to have, that analogy, who lug baskets of willow along the street selling roasted peanuts mom.
As early as eight years ago, Mom gave me willow left a deep recognition like. That year the "World Love Teeth Day" the last day, 12 o'clock noon, about work, the willow mother clutching his right hand was swollen like tomatoes right cheek, came to my clinic, dental pain that requires extraction . This is not mere appearance of the tooth, but I told her to sit for her examination, I found her teeth removed a serious inflammation of the teeth, the dentition has changed dramatically, serious deficiencies in the teeth. I said to her: "The teeth of acute inflammation can not be pulling teeth, missing teeth, but many of you, why not set it up?" She said without thinking, "no money, can not afford to set." I laughed said: "How do you eat?" she said: "wild eat!" "wild to eat, how we eat without teeth?" I'm heavier and slightly ironic tone. She was a little Huangran, but not avoid, his eyes looking at my face, explained to me: "I have three sons in high school, and now need money to study, so they went to college with work, I come back safe teeth." Although I such that she kept waiting and the unknown factors of sustenance, for example, how do kids into university? There will be no filial child how to do? But I think she is the mother touched the heart. Free given her some anti-inflammatory drugs, to promote some of her knowledge of oral hygiene, and simply asked some of her family. Thirty kilometers from the county she lives in the poplar village, I just called her mother poplar.
Now, eight years later. Many country people have to come to work or live in the county. There are so thirty-two challenges of rural women to sell roasted peanuts, often come from my clinic door, one of whom is the mother of poplar. Once I met her at the clinic door, she hesitated and called out "doctor." I smiled and said to her: "Mom poplar, the children graduate to find a job yet?" She smiled and replied: "Yes ah, the eldest son had a job." I said: "So do some teeth to solve it? "She said:" Doctor you good memory, remember me do some teeth. "I said:" Just ask. "She shook her head and said:" Not yet. "The answer is not so much surprised me, I'm not good a difficult one to ask why. I said: "You do not do agriculture, and to the county to live, and by the children to take care of you." She said with a wry smile: "not afraid of your doctor laughed, and if so lucky to have, I Mody to sell roasted peanuts ? "The answer would not give me much surprise, that house is a cupboard, no need to inquisitive. So on the one I Shunpian Dai said: "Shilu many people and cars to pay attention to safety ah!" Poplar mother nodded and said: "is be careful, doctor thank you." Talking to slowly disappear in my sight.
This day is a Sunday, or is it the coldest winter day Shilu. After nine at night, I saw the seafood restaurants on the street before the mother wear a blue cloth coat poplar, also guarding the burden of selling peanuts in there. Brightly lit restaurants up and down, business is very good, so faint sound of finger-guessing game line. After about half an hour. Restaurants suddenly in front of noisy, sounds more and more, I should like to boil the pot when you water. Perhaps because of the willow mother's sake, I walked over to see the thieves heard that, catch none other than poplar mother. I saw mom holding a treaty Poplar pound grouper heavy, wet Niigata, Niigata, and fish in her hand, struggling, not beating. Restaurant fat and the boss, piece of grouper from her hand, shake a pair of thick lips kept cursing, swearing Lianpian macabre. Poplar man seemed good book is a mother, but also differentiate the righteous. She said the fish box of fish from the glass came out, she caught the aim is to return the restaurant, not to steal. Restaurant, shop front fish tank to be placed, in order to attract customers to appreciate and facilitate the selection. Due to cold weather, restaurant staff holed up inside, the fish box horse out, or poplar mother stole fish, not all of the details of the witnesses. As far as I know, the restaurant's employees catch fish with a net bag, his hands alone is very difficult to catch live fish cruising, only the mother to steal this point that the fish does not seem possible poplar. Can catch fish in her hand, thieves caught dirty, difficult to say where the.
At this time, come out from the restaurant, a ruddy young people. Clothing is very stylish, long as outstanding, that is, become accustomed to face music. He brushed aside all walked around Poplar mother, said nothing, abruptly leg kick down a carrot basket, mouth curse: "I told you not to sell peanuts to a place like this, you just do not listen, my face disgrace you, you understand me, you know? "angry young exception seems lost in this life personality. Several young people came to persuade busy to open him, pushing and pulling, pushed him out a small black car and drove away.
The face of boss accused of cursing, still argue poplar perverse mother, suddenly burst into tears at this time.
While tightening my heart, through the mother go and picked up scattered on the floor of poplar peanuts, finishing a good dill basket. I comforted her: "Do not cry, go home, old, not Kuchu sick." She lifted her eyes at me, want to say to me. I said: "You do not say, if I am right, you sell peanuts to false teeth, the young man must be your son." Trained, trained, she said: "how do you know?" I said: " seat of your pants, but I want to know his work in that unit. "she blurted out, said:" Water and Power. " But soon his eyes hesitated and worried and asked me: "You find out his unit to do?" I said: "Please rest assured that I mean nothing else, I think your son is handsome." She breaks through his tears, for I could not even say thank you twice. Then stir it on the big carrot basket, like a faltering in the snow the old penguins, staggered out of the Seafood Restaurant.
I watched in silence poplar mother figure in the line of sight away. I always thought, she can be studded with teeth when it?
