# 七楼 · 第二十三天

The Seventh Floor, Episode 23: The Argument in the Parcel Station

刚才，小区办公室的董阿姨说，七楼不安全，花盆和椅子都要搬走。站在快递站门口的邹爷爷说：“七楼的东西，谁也不能动。”

董阿姨说：“我不是不让您种花。可是如果孩子上去玩，怎么办？”

“她在七楼种了二十年花，”邹爷爷大声说，“没有一个花盆被风吹到楼下过！”

门开着，外面的邻居一个一个走了进来。小小的快递站里，一下子站了十几个人。

三号楼的阿姨说：“七楼的花是我们小区最漂亮的东西，为什么要拿走？”

一个年轻男人带着儿子，说：“好看有什么用？我儿子才四岁，如果他自己跑上去了呢？”

还有一个邻居说：“门上有锁，孩子怎么上去？”

年轻男人马上说：“昨天晚上不是上去了几十个人吗？”

大家越说越大声，谁也听不见谁。宁宁把两只手放在耳朵上。有人往后走了一步，旁边的一个箱子就倒了。

罗师傅拿着两个大箱子站在门口，进不来。“今天怎么这么多人？我的快递放在哪儿啊？”

宁宁一下子站到了椅子上：“大家听我说！”

大家马上都安静了。董阿姨看着他：“快下来！你看，这就是不安全。”

大家都笑了。宁宁的脸红了，他慢慢从椅子上下来了。

乔安想，现在她最好说几句话。“我觉得大家说的都对。七楼的花很重要，孩子的安全也很重要。我们能不能想一个办法，花不用拿走，人也安全？”

董阿姨想了想：“这件事，不是我一个人说了算。”

宁宁问：“那很多人说的话，办公室听不听？”

过了一会儿，董阿姨才说：“如果下个星期天以前，有一百个邻居写下名字，说七楼的花不要搬走，我就拿给办公室看看。只是，他们听不听，我不知道。”

宁宁马上拿了一张快递单，在后面写下了自己的名字。

“孩子的不算，”董阿姨说，“要大人的名字。”

乔安一听就笑了。她写下了自己的名字。罗师傅放下箱子，说：“我也写一个。”董阿姨说：“罗师傅，您家不在这个小区。”他点了点头：“对，我的也不算。”三号楼的阿姨也写了。那个年轻男人看了看，没写，带着儿子走了。

后来，邹爷爷一直站在门口，一句话也没说。最后，他走过来，拿起了笔。他的手一直在动，可是那个“邹”字写得很清楚。

宁宁数了一下：“一、二、三。还差九十七个！”

他看着窗户外面的那些楼，说：“明天放学以后，我去敲每个邻居的门。”
