In my memory, Jane always sits behind the sewing machine, sewing things rhythmically.

Jane, everyone calls her that, and I don't know her real name. I only know that she is from Guangxi, and she rented a courtyard house for a resident in the community. A sewing machine is all her property in starting a business.

Nowadays, clothes are bought with money. Almost no one asks a tailor to make clothes (except customization), but there are always places where students' school uniforms are off-line, or where clothes bought online don't match the size and need to be modified. ...

Therefore, Jane's tailor shop is very popular in the community. Some owners always cut their pants, and Jia Qian's new curtain cloth needs to be made. Tailor shops are always busy, and some people will come here to have a lively chat. ...

I walked into Jane's tailor's shop for the first time because a skirt needed trimming. Before I entered the store, I heard the voices of 3-4 people in the store, mostly talking about three meals a day. Stepping into the threshold, I found that two neighbors I knew greeted each other and briefly explained the requirements of skirt trimming. Jane always sits behind the sewing machine and listens to me carefully. After taking the skirt, she went on working.

Careful observation shows that Jane is no longer young, estimated to be around 40, with a haircut, smiling eyebrows and fair skin. She is a good-looking type and doesn't talk much. She occasionally participates in the topic of women around her. The sewing machine is always running and rarely stops. I liked Jane even more when I got my skirt back and saw that the handwork was satisfactory.

About half a year later, I heard the legend of Jane at the weekend market. Aunties in several neighborhoods shook their heads regretfully and said, "I can't believe Jane ..."

"Jane? Which Jane is the tailor's Jane? " Someone asked next to him.

"Yes, that's Jane ..."

"What's the matter?"

"......"

In the gathering of more and more people, in intermittent words, I heard Jane's story:

Jane was born in a small village in a remote mountainous area of Guangxi. Her parents are farmers, and there are three older brothers in front of her. Jane is the only girl in her family. Although her family was not rich when her parents were alive, she regarded Jane as the apple of her eye.

After the eldest brother and the second brother got married and separated one after another, the labor force in the family decreased and the parents worked harder. In addition to ensuring the expenses of a family of four, they also married two daughters-in-law. Life is tight, and the younger son is heartbroken that his parents dropped out of school and went out to work. Jane also wants to share her family and decides not to go to high school. She discussed with her parents that she wanted to work in a tailor shop opened by a distant relative of her aunt in town. During her apprenticeship, she had food and shelter, but no salary.

My parents have lived in a ravine all their lives. They think it's a good choice for a girl to learn a trade and marry a good family in two years, so they agree to let Jane be an apprentice in a tailor's shop in town.

The first time I left my home in 17 and came to town, everything was novel: I saw bicycles, motorcycles and four-wheeled cars I had never seen before; A dazzling array of goods in the shop. ......

After living in the town for a year, Jane met Li Sheng, who was driving a big truck for a long distance. It was a sunny afternoon. Jane stayed in the shop as usual, looking at the door with her chin cupped, thinking back to the TV series she watched last night, and was shocked by the love story of the hero and heroine. ......

The sunshine at the door was suddenly blocked by a tall figure, and the lines outlined by the sunshine were printed in Jane's eyes with light. Jane thought it was an illusion, as tall and straight as the men in the TV series! Jane didn't wake up in a daze until a magnetic voice sounded in her ear.

It turned out that Li Sheng bought a few feet of cotton cloth as a small quilt for her newborn child at home. His wife was still at home for a month, and her mother-in-law couldn't leave, so Li Sheng pulled a few feet of cotton cloth at the tailor's shop in town.

When Li Sheng walked into the shop, she saw Jane sitting at the counter, her chin cupped. The sun shines on Zhang Ruo's thoughtful face, which makes people look intoxicated. What a beautiful young face! She felt a twinge of fear.

Jane quickly measured two small pieces of cotton cloth for Dr. Li. Li Sheng successfully wanted to make another suit for the children. Jane said that the master is not in the shop now, waiting for the master to come. Li Sheng thought there was nothing to do, so he waited in the shop. In the meantime, the two of them chatted with each other. Jane was very clever and asked about Li Sheng's career and family. ......

One to two, sometimes Li Sheng will come to the store after a long run, thinking that chatting with Jane is a pleasant and relaxing thing, and sometimes he will bring some snacks or small gifts. Every time I see Jane happy, my heart is like a flower. ......

Li Sheng and Jane have been in love for a long time. They didn't hold the last line of defense. Jane doesn't want any birthright, but loves this tall and powerful man, which is an unprecedented experience; Li Sheng didn't think about the future. He thinks life can be like this. The red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags float outside. He wants nothing more.

Things never go according to people's expectations. What happened between Jane and Li Sheng soon reached the ears of the town, and the last person to know was Li Sheng's wife! The wife was awakened by her brother, and then she left her heart. One day she witnessed the fact and returned to her parents' home in tears. Naturally, her brother kept secrets from her family and prevented Jane from discussing with Li Sheng. Jane has never seen such a battle, but she didn't expect it to happen. Li Sheng's attitude made her despair. The town can't stay any longer, and she is even more ashamed to go home to see her parents. In desperation, she went to work in Dongguan.

When I came to a strange city, everything started all over again. Jane worked as a nanny and was introduced as an assembly line worker in an electronic parts factory. At a friend's party, I met Deng Tianshui, a rural youth in Guangdong. They are the same age. Deng Tianshui fell in love with Jane at first sight and launched a passionate pursuit of Jane. In the correspondence, Jane concealed the past. After dating for a period of time, pregnant Jane promised the man to go back to his hometown in Deng Tianshui, Guangdong Province to get married.

After marriage, I gave birth to two daughters, which did not please my parents. Deng Tianshui also felt depressed in the patriarchal atmosphere in the village. After a long time, she has a bad face towards Jane. At first, it was abusive, and finally it developed into punching and kicking. Jane put up with it for the sake of her two children, hoping that they would grow up quickly. ......

All over the world, all beings have their own ways of living, their own joys and sorrows.

Jane doesn't have any hopes and ideas in the tempering of life, but struggles for a few days day after day. Thankfully, her grandparents still love two smart children, and her youngest daughter has gone to school. If it weren't for Deng Tianshui's crazy roar that night, maybe Jane would still live in that house, but at this time, God never satisfied her.

Depressed Deng Tianshui didn't go to work to earn money to support his family. He started gambling with some gangsters in the village. If you win, you will drink happily and go home to sleep. If you lose money and go home to sleep after drinking, there will be one more procedure: hitting people! This person is Jane!

Jane endured it again and again, always thinking that it was retribution for her wrong doing when she was young, but it was not until one day that Deng Tianshui raised a stick and hit her on the calf that she realized. On this day, she can't get through!

Lame Jane left her sad home, leaving her two children to work alone. As a result, the tailor shop on the first floor of the community appeared.

Until one day, a police car stopped at the gate of the community, and Jane's husband Deng Tianshui got off with the police. ......

The quadrangle on the first floor of the community is now a hair salon. People come and go, and some people chat, but how many people remember tailor Jane?
