# 七楼 · 第十七天

The Seventh Floor, Episode 17: The Second Chair

昨天，罗师傅说，今天有一个七楼的大快递，是从广州寄来的。邹爷爷说，他要自己来拿，而且白天来。

今天是星期六。早上八点，罗师傅的车刚到门口，邹爷爷已经在快递站里等着了。他穿着一件干净的衣服，头发也洗过了。

这个快递真的很大，比宁宁还高。罗师傅一个人很难拿，乔安马上过去帮他。

门一下子被推开了，是宁宁。他今天是骑自行车来的，一进门就大声说：“这么大的快递！”

箱子上还是那几个字：“六号楼，七楼。”没有名字，也没有电话。

邹爷爷说：“就在这儿打开。你们都帮过我，也应该看看。”

他慢慢地打开箱子。里面是一把绿色的椅子，很新。

宁宁有一点儿不开心：“只是一把椅子啊？我还以为是很多很多种子呢。”

可是乔安一看见它，就想起了七楼的小房间。那里也有一把这样的椅子，只是那把很旧。

邹爷爷看着椅子，很久没说话。最后，他说：“以前，七楼有两把这样的椅子。一把是我孙女的，一把是她奶奶的。她们两个常常坐在花中间，一坐就是一下午。”

宁宁问：“那您孙女的那把呢？”

“她去了广州以后，那把椅子坏了，我就没再买。”邹爷爷停了一下，又说：“这么多年了，她还记得。她记得七楼，也记得那两把椅子，记得很清楚。”

宁宁想了想，眼睛一下子亮了：“爷爷，我知道了！旧的是您的，新的是她的。她想回来，跟您一起坐在七楼！”

邹爷爷没有回答。他把手放在新椅子上，很久没动。乔安看见，他的眼睛又红了。

下午，乔安和罗师傅帮他把椅子拿上了七楼。两把椅子放在一起，一把旧，一把新。它们前面，就是那五个长出了小绿叶的花盆。

晚上，乔安回到家，看了看手机上的天气：今天晚上有大风，还有大雨。

她走到窗户旁边。外面的风更大了，楼下的树都在动。她想起了七楼那些小小的绿叶。

这时候，她的手机响了。是宁宁：“下雨了！七楼的花怎么办？”
