# 七楼 · 第二十四天

The Seventh Floor, Episode 24: Ninety-Seven Names

昨天，董阿姨说，如果下个星期天以前有一百个大人写下名字，她就拿给办公室看看。现在只有三个，还差九十七个。宁宁说，他要去敲每个邻居的门。

今天下午四点半，宁宁骑着自行车来到快递站，书包还没放下就说：“作业我在学校写完了！走吧！”

乔安拿了一个本子和一支笔，跟他一起出了门。

他们先去了五号楼。宁宁敲了敲第一个门。开门的是一个奶奶，手里还拿着一个碗，房间里很香。

“奶奶好！我们不想让人搬走七楼的花，您能写下名字吗？”

奶奶一听就笑了：“邹奶奶的花？当然写！那年我生病，她天天给我送花。”她马上写下了名字，还送了宁宁一个苹果。

第二个门没有人开。第三个门开了一下，一个叔叔说：“我很忙，别问了。”说完就关门了。

宁宁有一点儿不开心。乔安说：“没关系，我们再试试下一个。”

五号楼没有电梯，他们一层一层往上走。每到一层，宁宁都第一个跑上去，脸越来越红。

有的邻居不用他们说完就写了。有的人问：“邹奶奶是谁？”宁宁就把七楼的事说一遍。一个年轻女人听了说：“我还以为七楼只是一个故事呢。”

晚上七点，他们回到了快递站。宁宁数了一下本子上的名字：“四十个！加上昨天的三个，一共四十三个。还差五十七个。”

这时候，门开了。进来的是昨天那个带着儿子的年轻男人。宁宁往后走了一步，把本子放到了身后。

“我听说，你们今天敲了很多门。”

乔安说：“对。您还是不想写吗？”

“我不写。”他停了一下，又说：“我儿子今天一直说要去七楼看花。我不想让他不开心，可是我更怕他不安全。”

他看着乔安和宁宁，说：“所以，名字我不写。可是我有一个办法，能让花留下来，孩子也安全。”
