Remote street, a small grocery store, roller shutter doors, milk cartons.
On the shelves in the house, there are scattered goods, Grandpa Langya wearing reading glasses.
As night fell, he closed the roller shutter door and paced slowly to the back room, writing a letter on his desk. The orange-red light in the fireplace illuminated the whole room red, and the soft light hit his face, reflected on his pale hair, on his deep and shallow wrinkles.
The business is not prosperous, sometimes it is not profitable, his son repeatedly advised him to close the door, he felt that this kind of life is very interesting, not only help others, but also feel full and happy, so he is not tired.
This is a scene from Grandpa Langya's life more than thirty years ago. More than thirty years later, three misguided teenagers inadvertently broke into this long-abandoned grocery store at night, and after reading the letter behind the roller shutter door, they knew: As long as people write letters to the letter of Langya grocery store, they will receive a reply from Langya in the milk carton on the wall the next day.
Roller shutter doors, milk cartons, past, last, you tell me the voice of the depths of your heart, I reassure you. Letter after letter, breaking the limitations of time and space, with sincerity, with kindness, with a faint ink fragrance, through the tunnel of more than thirty years of time, connecting unrelated people together, influencing each other, encouraging, and warming.
Choice is a compulsory course in life, is a proposition that people cannot avoid, in the face of choice, some have nothing to do with the general body, some can change the fate of a lifetime, some people have the answer, just want to confirm the right and wrong, some people are really at a loss, do not know how to choose. Standing at the crossroads of life, where to go? For various reasons, they are reluctant to ask acquaintances for advice, choose to trust strangers, and may feel that the advice given by strangers is more objective and rational.
The author Keigo Higashino's "Relief Grocery Store", using the technique of light and dark interlacing, grocery stores, welfare homes, the way of space crossing, past and present, tells us all kinds of troubles from children in welfare homes, ordinary people, ordinary stories, mainstream, warm, sincere, natural, exudes the most authentic kindness in the heart, respect for life, follow the heart. Sealed reply, no long preaching, no gorgeous rhetoric, but if there is an infinite magic, moisturizing in the silent, directly hit the heart, so that the decadent soul is activated, balance is found in imbalance, lost in the direction of seeing, pain is healed by love. The three teenagers are also in the letters that come and go, the conscience is awakened little by little, the holes in the heart are repaired, repaired, and the direction of life is found again. It is a warm redemption, like a bowl of chicken soup that nourishes the heart and lungs, but also a love of giving, circulation, relay.
There are not many amazing moves, but the kindness that can be expressed in life, such as a smile between strangers; a "hello" when they meet in the elevator; a door for others; a hand to point out the way for others. Although it is insignificant, it makes people feel like a spring breeze and a warm sun, and feels that life is beautiful.
In the face of this world, people are in a hurry, although they can't find a grocery store to relieve people's worries, in reality, the ancient road is hot, and the good people in their bones can be seen everywhere, they all have a compassionate heart, they will not touch the pain of others, and they will not be embarrassed in public, they will think about others in everything, as far as possible to provide convenience with others, can not see others in pain and tears, even if they are strangers, they will never stand by and watch.
Although the scene I saw on the bus has been a long time, I still feel warm every time I think of it. The car arrived at the station, up a grandmother pushing a wheelchair, the little boy in the wheelchair is seven or eight years old, the boy due to physical reasons, from time to time issued a harsh scream, a pair of small hands, but also kept tearing the clothes of the people around him, because of the anger, the small face rose red, the grandmother appeared to be busy, while coaxing the child, while constantly saying "sorry" to others, seeing the child's twisted face due to pain, many people shed tears of pain. At this time, only to see an old grandmother slowly get up from the seat, under the shaking of the car, slowly come to the child's side, bend down, someone quickly give her a seat, "Child, don't be afraid, it's all right" One hand gently patted the child's shoulder, the other hand went to touch the dancing little hand, facing the stranger, the child from the initial resistance, struggle, shouting, slowly recovering calm, she has been murmuring to the child, can't hear what is being said, the child just looked at her steadily, the delicate little face had a smile, so the tears were opposite, Hands clenched until the child got out of the car, and the little hand kept pulling and refusing to let go.
I believe that when children grow up, they will always think of this pair of warm hands; I believe that this moment will engrave memories in the hearts of many people. From the bottom of your heart, there will always be someone to remember your kindness, and there will always be someone who appreciates your efforts. When needed, we can reach out and relieve others, and when we are helpless, we can also find a relief grocery store.
May the work of raising one's hand become a habit, may kindness become natural, and may the world be filled with the fragrance of love, and may everyone be treated with tenderness.
