One side hurts, the other side is beautiful
Ge Shan/Wen
He met them on a train heading south. At that time, when they were about to peel the orange and put it into their daughter's mouth, the little girl suddenly smiled mischievously like a little elf. She twisted her waist and slid away.
I, who was sitting opposite them, was moved by this warm scene. Seeing that the journey was boring, I started chatting with them. Judging from their accent, they should be northerners, so I asked,"The New Year is approaching. Why are you going south?" Settle down in the South?"
The man shook his head. They worked in a small town in the south. Last week, they finally bought a ticket to go back to their hometown in the north for the New Year. The next day, they were in a hurry to return to the south. After settling the matters in the south, he would return home for the New Year.
What was it that made him so flustered? Was it easy to buy a train ticket these days? They had to travel back and forth in just two or three days?
The man saw my confusion and was about to speak when he was interrupted by his wife. The woman pointed at the child and said that they had to rush each other because she had lied to him.
In their conversation, I learned the whole story:
They were working in a small city in the north. Their nine-year-old daughter was studying at the school for migrant workers next to their construction site. The men were doing template work, which was very tiring and bitter, while the women's work was relatively simple. They were responsible for cooking and boiling soup at the construction site, earning more than 2,000 yuan a month. They lived in a shanty town, and the people who came here were all like them, migrant workers. Although everyone's lives were hard, their hearts were simple and they got along very well. In their free time, they would often drink tea and play chess together in groups of three to five. At dusk, at the beginning of the night, a pot of old wine was boiled and two or three dishes were stir-fried. A few men were half-naked and could drink a few jokes.
Originally, although the days in the shanty town were dull, they continued happily. However, in December of that year, the daughter of a migrant worker brother fell ill. The hospital's diagnosis was shocking-cancer. After the child stayed in the hospital for a short period of time, he returned because he could not afford the high fees. Of course, the doctor had also hinted to the child's parents that the disease was already in its late stages when it was discovered, and it was not a matter of spending money. They understood the doctor's implied meaning, so they had no choice but to wipe away their tears and bring the child back to their "home."
It was said, and it was only said, that the disease was highly contagious. Therefore, no one dared to look at her. Only men had looked it up on the Internet. This disease was not contagious at all. However, no one believed him.
He and his wife had been to the girl's house several times. Even though they were short of money, they bought fruits every time they went and gave them a few hundred yuan. They knew that this was the only way they could express their feelings. Originally, they wanted to bring their daughter along, but they did not want their daughter to feel the grim words of life and death, illness and suffering too early, so they gave up.
A few months later, on a Monday. At that time, the girl who had been tortured beyond recognition was lying on a chair to recuperate, facing the door and the sun. When their daughter went to school, she happened to pass by the girl's house. When she saw her in the house, she stopped. Her daughter shouted from the other side of the yard,"I'll come and see you when the holidays come." The girl asked,"Why are you here to see me?" The daughter rubbed her nose, thought for a moment, and replied,"Let me tell you about the outside world. These days, the flowers have bloomed, the ice has melted, and the water is singing happily." Also, after the little bear in the fairy tale fell into the trap, it was rescued by the hunter and encountered many fortuitous encounters. And the hateful Hui Tai Lang,

This question required a specific context to determine which narrative order was used in a particular novel. Generally speaking, the order of a novel's narration would vary according to the plot and narrative perspective.

Under normal circumstances, novels would usually use different sequences such as time or space to show the story. For example, in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', we can understand the plot of the whole story according to the growth experience of the characters and the sequence of events.

At the same time, the novel would also use different perspectives to present the story, such as front, side, and back, to show the character's personality, behavior, and thoughts. These different perspectives and narrative methods would also affect the narrative order of the novel.

Therefore, it was necessary to look at the context and plot of the novel to determine which narrative order was used.
