          破烂的砖墙,里面一大间水泥顶的平房,门尚好,窗户很小,玻璃全用三合板代替。那个小院里已经黑压压蹲了一地人。
                                                                                                                                                                看穿戴都像是农村的,单勃的小姨站在院门口,身后站着一个头发粗硬的中年人,神态腼腆、谦卑,估计是单勃的姨夫。小姨一看见单勃,马上哭着过来,两个人哭成一团,“今天早上走的,你婆没受罪!……”她姨夫带我走到一边儿,示意我和他一块儿蹲下,然后又递了根纸烟给我,低沉、沙哑的嗓音中带着点感慨,“老婆儿可争气!”我有点不太理解“争气”这个词用在这儿是什么意思。
                                                                                                                                                                她姨夫狠狠地吸了口烟,“老婆儿争气啊,走得及时!再拖两天就得卖房子了。只要一进去——”他指指那座病房大楼,“不脱层皮出不来。”然后,他压低声音对我说,“可别跟姣姣说,老婆儿原来还自己藏过二十多片安眠药。
                                                                                                                                                                她有点失眠,大夫给她开的有安眠药。谁知道老婆儿自己又偷偷藏了不少。
                                                                                                                                                                幸亏被她姨发现了。这都没敢跟姣姣说。
                                                                                                                                                                唉,这老婆儿,好人啊!其实平常已经够争气了,啥贵药都不让用,啥便宜挑啥,……”那一天,蹲在那一小片坑坑洼洼的水泥地上,我了解到了另一种方式的“争气”虽然,这种方式的“争气”让我觉得有点憋气。可是,那个头发硬、乱、牙齿黄、长的汉子说起这个词的时候,却带出了些许悲壮。
                                                                                                                                                                只是,他自己丝毫没有觉察罢了。
