一个矮胖胖的身躯行走在黑夜下的路灯间，走近了，才看清她的打扮。一身灰扑扑的蓝布棉袄只能勉强显出颜色，看起来是最廉价的布料，棉袄下不知套了多少件衣服，鼓鼓囊囊，更显得身型臃肿。扁而圆的脑袋上裹着灰色的包头巾，而头和肩膀间本就不明显的分界缠上了厚重的围巾，旧得起了球，边角还看得到炸开毛的线头。其间似乎掺了很多种颜色，显得十分不协调。她的手上则抓了两个鼓胀的大蛇皮袋，快要贴到地上，像是两个大皮球。
A short and chubby figure walked among the streetlights in the dark night, and only when she approached did she see her attire clearly. A gray blue cotton jacket can only barely show its color, making it look like the cheapest fabric. I don't know how many clothes are wrapped under the jacket, bulging and making it look even more bulky. The flat and round head was wrapped in a gray headscarf, while the already indistinct boundary between the head and shoulders was wrapped in a thick scarf, which was so old that it looked like a ball, and the edges and corners could even be seen with frayed threads. There seems to be a lot of colors mixed in between, which looks very discordant. She grabbed two swollen snake skin bags in her hands, almost touching the ground like two big balls.[ www.zUOwEnBa.NeT ]
她走向一个深绿色的电动三轮，三轮车旧得掉了漆，裸露在外的金属敷上一层褐黄色的锈印。
She walked towards a dark green electric tricycle, which was so old that its paint had peeled off, and the exposed metal was covered with a layer of brownish yellow rust.
“嗬，真冷啊。腊八节总是这样。”慈祥沙哑的声音响起，言语间夹杂了几分笑意。边说着，她慢悠悠将一个蛇皮袋放在地上，两手紧紧抓住另一个蛇皮袋，用力一提胳膊，借着力将袋子甩上肩膀，却一下子没站稳，往后退了两小碎步。等缓过劲了，又小心翼翼地向着车后框倒踱了几步，最终把一个蛇皮袋装上车。她“诶呦”喘了一口气，一只蜡黄的手扶上同样粗糙的车漆，手上厚厚的茧子摩挲间发出细碎的摩擦声。过不了多久，她又慢悠悠地把另一个蛇皮袋装上三轮。
Wow, it's really cold. The Laba Festival is always like this, "a kind and hoarse voice sounded, with a hint of laughter mixed in between his words. As she spoke, she slowly placed a snake skin bag on the ground, tightly grasped another snake skin bag with both hands, lifted her arm with force, and used her strength to shake the bag onto her shoulder. However, she couldn't stand steadily and took two small steps back. After calming down, he cautiously took a few steps backwards towards the rear frame of the car and finally put a snake skin bag into the car. She took a deep breath and placed a wax yellow hand on the equally rough car paint. The thick calluses on her hand made a fine friction sound as they rubbed against each other. Not long after, she leisurely packed another snake skin bag into three rounds.
“去下一栋楼喽。”她探着上半身，从三轮车后座又拿出两个蛇皮袋，对着地抖了抖，转身走进单元楼。
Let's go to the next building, "she poked her upper body, took out two snake skin bags from the back seat of the tricycle, shook them to the ground, and turned around to walk into the unit building.
她看着一户一户人家门口叠好的回收物品，笑了起来，黝黑的皮肤皱到一块儿去，眼睛弯了起来，向下垂去，业主们都很好，每次有快递盒、泡沫包装都特地留给她。这么善良的人家，她总是将他们放在门口等待垃圾站开放的各色垃圾袋一同带下去，也算尽自己的力回报他们了。
She looked at the stacked recyclables at the door of each house and smiled. Her dark skin was wrinkled together, her eyes were bent up and down, and the owners were all very good. Every time there were express boxes and foam packages, they were specially left for her. Such a kind family, she always puts them in various garbage bags at the door waiting for the garbage station to open, which is also a way to repay them with her own efforts.
一层一层地收上去，到了七楼，她一如往日地蹲下去，将泡沫盒一个一个收进蛇皮袋，束好封口再将它们踩成片。蓦地，她看见泡沫盒边上一个不大的包装，里面好像装了什么。声控灯下，她拍拍手，灯亮起来，包装里是两个不透明的保鲜盒与一张卡片。她勉强凭借自己的小学学历理解了贺卡——“阿姨，腊八快乐！献上寒山寺的两碗腊八粥！”
One layer at a time, when she reached the seventh floor, she squatted down as usual, put the foam boxes into the snakeskin bags one by one, bound them up and sealed them, and then stamped them into pieces. Suddenly, she saw a small package beside the foam box, which seemed to contain something. Under the voice controlled light, she clapped her hands and the light turned on. Inside the packaging were two opaque plastic boxes and a card. Relying on her primary school education, she reluctantly understood the card - "Auntie, happy Laba! Two bowls of Laba Congee from Hanshan Temple!"
她神色微怔，突然又露出更大的笑意，温热的混浊液体涌出眼眶，夹在深深的皱纹间，一时流不下来，她用苏州话自言自语着：“谢谢，谢谢！”等了好一会儿，才用手撑着自己站起来，揣着暖暖的腊八粥，坐进电梯。
She looked slightly stunned and suddenly showed a bigger smile. The warm turbid liquid poured out of her eyes and caught in the deep wrinkles. She could not flow down for a while. She said to herself in Suzhou dialect, "Thank you, thank you!" After waiting for a long time, she stood up with her hands, took the warm Laba Congee, and sat in the elevator.
电梯的层数仍在不停增加……
The number of floors in the elevator continues to increase
