Chapter 778 Sarcasm
Lin Fang sat on the sofa in the living room, flipping through a parenting magazine in her hand, while her daughter Duoduo was quietly taking a nap in the crib. Suddenly, a piercing sound of an electric drill broke the silence. "Buzz--" The huge noise was like countless bees buzzing in her ears, and Duoduo was frightened and burst into tears. Lin Fang picked up her daughter distressedly, patted her back gently, frowned, and looked in the direction of the sound. The sound came from Chen Shuqin's house upstairs. I heard that her house was being renovated recently. Lin Fang carried Duoduo upstairs and knocked hard on Chen Shuqin's door. After a long time, the door opened. Chen Shuqin was wearing a dusty work suit, holding a water cup in her hand, and sweat beads on her face. "What's the matter?" Chen Shuqin's tone was a little impatient. "Sister Chen, the noise from your renovation is too loud. My daughter was woken up just after she fell asleep. It's noon, can you take a break?" Lin Fang tried to make her tone calm. "I'm on a deadline for the renovation, how can I just stop it? You find a way to keep the child quiet." Chen Shuqin said, and was about to close the door. Lin Fang was anxious and blocked the door: "Sister Chen, this is too unreasonable, right? We are all neighbors, can't we be considerate of each other?" "Why am I unreasonable? I spent money on the renovation, and I can do it whenever I want!" Chen Shuqin also raised her voice. The two of them argued back and forth, and the quarrel became louder and louder. The corridor was soon surrounded by neighbors who came to watch the excitement. Everyone tried to persuade them, but no one could persuade the two who were angry. In the end, the two broke up unhappily under the pulling of the neighbors. Since then, Lin Fang and Chen Shuqin have been like enemies. When they met in the corridor, no one looked at each other; in the WeChat group of the community, as long as one party spoke, the other party would sneer. The originally harmonious neighborhood relationship became tense. That day, when Lin Fang got off work and walked to the entrance of the corridor, it suddenly rained heavily. She hurriedly quickened her pace and ran home, but she was still soaked. As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she found that her key was missing. She searched all her pockets but couldn't find it. Lin Fang was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. Duoduo was still waiting for her to pick her up at the kindergarten. When she was anxious, Chen Shuqin came back from outside and saw Lin Fang's embarrassed look. After hesitating for a while, she walked up and asked, "What's wrong?" Lin Fang didn't want to pay attention to her, but there was really no way, so she had to tell her about the lost key. Chen Shuqin listened and said, "Don't worry, go to my house and sit for a while, I'll help you think of a solution." Lin Fang was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chen Shuqin to take the initiative to help. When they arrived at Chen Shuqin's house, Chen Shuqin handed Lin Fang a towel, asked her to wipe her hair, and poured her a cup of hot water. Then, Chen Shuqin started to call the locksmith. While waiting for the locksmith, both of them were a little embarrassed and no one spoke. After a while, Chen Shuqin broke the silence: "I was also wrong about the quarrel that day. The renovation did affect you. I apologize to you." Lin Fang did not expect Chen Shuqin to apologize on her own initiative, and the resentment in her heart disappeared a lot at once: "I was also wrong. I shouldn't be so impulsive." The two opened up and talked about their lives. It turned out that the reason why Chen Shuqin was in a hurry to renovate was because her son was getting married and wanted to clean up the house as soon as possible for the children to use as a wedding room. It was not easy for Lin Fang to take care of the children alone, and Duoduo was more sensitive and easily frightened by noise. As she was talking, the locksmith came and quickly opened the door of Lin Fang's house. Lin Fang said to Chen Shuqin gratefully: "Sister Chen, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." "Why are you polite? We are all neighbors. It's only right to help each other." Chen Shuqin said with a smile. Since then, the relationship between Lin Fang and Chen Shuqin has gradually eased. Chen Shuqin asked the decoration workers to avoid Duoduo's nap time as much as possible, and Lin Fang often gave Chen Shuqin some snacks she made. One day, the water pipe in Chen Shuqin's house burst suddenly, and water kept pouring out. Chen Shuqin was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. When Lin Fang heard about it, she went to help with tools without saying a word. The two of them closed the main gate and cleaned up the accumulated water together, sweating profusely. After this incident, the relationship between the two was completely improved. On the day when Chen Shuqin's son got married, she specially invited Lin Fang and Duoduo. At the wedding, Chen Shuqin took Lin Fang's hand and said, "Thanks to that quarrel, we have the opportunity to understand each other. Now we are like sisters." Lin Fang also said with emotion: "Yes, there will inevitably be conflicts between neighbors, but as long as we understand and tolerate each other, there is no problem that cannot be solved." Days passed, and Lin Fang and Chen Shuqin became good friends who talked about everything. They bought groceries together, picked up and dropped off their children together, and took care of each other in life. Other neighbors in the community envied their changes and took them as examples, and the relationship between neighbors became more harmonious. Autumn is here, and the leaves in the community gradually turn yellow and fall gently in the breeze. Lin Fang and Chen Shuqin sat on a bench downstairs, watching the children playing not far away, with happy smiles on their faces. The sun shone on them, warm and beautiful, as if even the air was filled with a harmonious atmosphere. One weekend morning, Lin Fang and Chen Shuqin made an appointment to go to the morning market together. The morning market was very lively, with a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, and the shouts of vendors came one after another. While selecting their favorite ingredients, they shared interesting things in life. "Xiao Lin, look at how good this pumpkin is, big and fresh, buy it back and make porridge for the children." Chen Shuqin picked up a pumpkin and looked at it carefully. "Okay, Sister Chen, buy some more ribs and stew a pumpkin and ribs soup, it must be very fragrant." Lin Fang responded with a smile. As she was talking, Lin Fang suddenly saw a thief not far away staring at an old man's wallet stealthily. Without hesitation, she pulled Chen Shuqin and whispered, "Sister Chen, there is a thief over there. We have to find a way to alert the old man." Chen Shuqin looked in the direction Lin Fang pointed and immediately understood. The two quietly approached the old man, and Lin Fang deliberately said loudly, "Uncle, your wallet fell!" The old man subconsciously touched his pocket and found that the wallet was still there, and he immediately became alert.
The thief saw that the situation was not good and quickly ran away. The old man looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my money." "Uncle, this is what we should do. You should be careful when you go out next time."
