# 七楼 · 第二十五天

The Seventh Floor, Episode 25: The Iron Railing

刚才，那个带着儿子的年轻男人走进了快递站。他说，他不写名字，可是他有一个办法，能让七楼的花留下来，孩子也安全。

宁宁把本子从身后拿了出来：“叔叔，什么办法？”

他说：“我是做铁门的。七楼不安全，是因为旁边什么都没有。如果在那儿做一个比大人还高的栏杆，孩子就安全了。风很大的时候，花盆也不会被吹到楼下。”

宁宁问：“栏杆是什么？”

他拿起笔，在一张纸上画了几下：“你看，它很高，很长，站在花的外面，像一个不能开的门。”

乔安马上给董阿姨打了电话。十分钟以后，董阿姨就来了。她看着那张画，想了很久：“做这个，很贵吧？钱从哪儿来？”

年轻男人说：“东西我店里都有，你们不用给钱。”在门口搬箱子的罗师傅也说：“我有车，我帮你把东西送过来，还跟你一起做。”

董阿姨又看了看那张画，最后说：“这件事，不是我能决定的，我明天去问问办公室。可是，没有人的时候，那个门还要关着。孩子要上去，一定要有大人带着。”

第二天下午，董阿姨又来了：“办公室说行了！做好栏杆，那些花就不用拿走了。以后，七楼还是花园，是大家的花园。”

宁宁有一点儿不开心：“那我的四十三个名字，没用了？”董阿姨说：“有用。办公室的人看了这些名字，才说行。”

星期六早上八点，罗师傅的那辆车到了六号楼下面，车上都是很长的铁。很多邻居听说要做栏杆，也都来了。大人们一起把它们搬上了七楼，宁宁给大家拿来了水。五号楼的奶奶还带来了一大碗饺子。

大家一起做，邹爷爷一直站在旁边看着。下午五点，终于做好了。他走过去，用手推了推，又从这边走到那边，试了一遍又一遍。栏杆一动也不动。

他走到那个年轻男人前面，说：“谢谢你。”年轻男人脸红了：“没什么。我儿子说，他也想在七楼种花。”

大家都走了，邹爷爷还站在那五个花盆前面。乔安走过去一看，心一下子跳得很快。在绿色的小叶子中间，多了一点儿红色。

他小声说：“明天早上，你们早一点儿上来。”
