Su Daqiang said slowly: "It was Mingyu who sent me here, and she doesn't care about me anymore."

"..."

Nie Laijin didn't know how to comfort him. After thinking for a long time, he patted his hand and said, "Actually, it's good to live in a nursing home. You don't bother others and you have a group of old friends you can talk to. Lao Su, do you know?

, the biggest problem between our generation and our children is the generation gap. We don’t agree with what they say, but they can’t understand what we think. Living in a nursing home... is good... is good."

"What's good? Not good, not good at all." Su Daqiang said: "No one agreed with me when I wrote a word. They just watched those...what are they called, what young people said...oh, anti-Japanese drama, Pingtan" all day long

Not many people are willing to listen. All they talk about all day long is whose child is visiting whom, what kind of car they drive, how much clothes they bought, a bunch of ignorant guys."

Nie Laijinxin said, isn't it the same for you? When you lived at your daughter's house, you took Lao He, Lao Song and the others to see sunrooms, Mercedes-Benz cars, and big houses. When Su Mingzhe wanted to take you to the United States for retirement, he still made fun of you in the hotel.

Director Gao, now he looks like he stands out from the crowd, what can I say?

It seems that the nurse said that his lack of sociability was not simply a matter of Alzheimer's disease coming and going, but also because he was too good at pretending.

Thinking about it, my daughter used to be an executive of a large group, and my eldest son studied in the United States to get a doctorate and was a top student at Stanford. Because he has been envied for too long, he is now in a nursing home, and his mentality is unbalanced.

"Yes, yes, a bunch of ignorant people."

Nie Laijin changed the subject: "But Lao Su, you have to learn to adapt. You see, everyone goes to the lobby on the first floor to stay. The people in the nursing home cannot let everyone suffer from the cold. If the central air conditioner is broken, you have to find other ways to keep warm.

There was an electric heater inside when I went there, so it was quite warm with so many people gathered together, but look at you, staying up there alone, how miserable you must be in such a cold day."

"I would rather stay up there than get together with those people." It was obvious that Su Daqiang was holding a breath in his heart.

Think about it, how can a family with good conditions and filial children let the elderly live in a nursing home and have to either take care of them themselves or hire a nanny to take care of them.

"Old Su, if you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?" Nie Laijin seemed to have learned the truth from Lin Yue: "You are already at this age, so what can you do if you treat them as your own sons? Mingcheng and Mingzhe are so filial, why not?

Can I treat you badly? Now is a good time..."

He sighed heavily, with a look of regret on his face.

"Old Nie, you came to see me just to make sarcastic remarks?"

"Why is this a sarcastic remark?"

Nie Laijin didn't know how he had offended him. Isn't it human nature for old friends to gather together and sigh and complain?

"Let's go, let me go too. It's just like when I was being collected for debts and you abandoned me and ran to the United States. What kind of friends are you? I don't have friends like you."

"You...Old Su, are you being unreasonable?"

He did do that unjustly, but essentially it was for the good of the Su family - if Cai Genhua dared to seek the Su family's property, Su Mingcheng could use the debt to eat her to death.

But God knows that he knows Su Mingcheng, Su Daqiang, Su Mingzhe, Su Mingyu, Wu Fei and so on about this matter. The reason why Su Daqiang is angry now is because he thinks he went to the United States to hide from debts. Under such conditions, he ran there

Isn’t it a normal scenario for the United States to dodge debt? Is it possible to stay and suffer with you, Su Daqiang?

"Go, go quickly, I don't want to see you."

Su Daqiang got excited and got sick again: "Hu, get out of my house and take Zhao Meilan and those two bastards back to your Shanghai. Don't let me see you adulterers and adulterers again."

Nie Laijin was stunned for a long time before he realized that he thought he was the doctor from Shanghai.

"Su Daqiang...you are really, unreasonable."

Nie Laijin left angrily and walked out of the nursing home with a sullen face. He looked back in the cold wind and made up his mind to go to the United States. If nothing serious happened, he would not come back.

…

South Gate of Gusu District, same as Delhi.

I don't know who's water pipe was frozen and cracked. Originally, the alley was deep and narrow, and the buildings on both sides were built relatively high to block the sun. There were fine moss growing in the corners. Now that the water has washed away, the ground is very slippery.

"Xiao Mi, look at your feet."

Wu Fei warned her too late, Xiaomi's feet crooked and she fell backwards.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe had quick eyes and quick hands and hugged her from behind.

"Scared me."

Wu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the people running for water in the depths of the alley with an angry face and complained: "There must be quite a few old people living here. They have made the alley so slippery. Who will be responsible if they fall and get hurt? They are really unqualified."

"

"Feifei, please keep your voice down."

Su Mingzhe was born here and has been here for a long time, so he is naturally more familiar with the situation in Tongli than she is. In old houses like this in the old city, countless elderly people fall down every year due to the complex terrain and rain and snow. If they are lucky, they will be injured.

It will be fine in five days. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get off the ground and lie down until you die.

If you are an old man who has lived in Tongli for a long time, you can just complain a few words. The old Su family caused so many things last year. If people hear these words, they may make up some ugly jokes to laugh at them.

Wu Fei rolled her eyes at him, dissatisfied with her husband's cautiousness. They weren't just thieves who entered the village. Do they need to be so timid when they return to their old home?

"It should be here."

Su Mingzhe identified the surrounding buildings, put down the microphone, took out the key Su Mingcheng gave him, and opened the courtyard door of the house in front.

Since settling in the United States, he has never returned to his old home. Zhao Meilan died unexpectedly before, and the old man would not come here if he could. Naturally, he had no chance to revisit his old place. Later, the Su family and his son faced Bo in court, which was embarrassing.

He was even more embarrassed to return to his grandma's house. Therefore, compared with those wanderers who had not returned for many years, his current state of mind can be said to be a large "cowardice of being close to home".

It had not been occupied for more than a year, and the lock on the door nose was rusty. I inserted the key and turned it several times before turning the lock core.

Squeak~

Accompanied by the abnormal sound of the door shaft turning, the courtyard door opened, and a scene that did not change much from the impression appeared in front of me.

There is a ladder at the angle between the rusty faucet and the moss-stained sink and the courtyard wall. Diagonally opposite are four or five flower pots, in which are the flowers and plants that Zhao Meilan raised. Today, they have long since withered, leaving only

There are shriveled twigs and fallen leaves. On the left side of the door is a bucket used to hold swill. There are some empty beer bottles piled less than a foot apart. A bunch of dry yellow weeds emerge from the cracks in the bricks. They look quite tenacious.

of.

The door lock in the living room is easier to open, and you can hear a clicking sound when turning the lock cylinder.

Su Mingzhe took off the iron chain and pushed open the door.

A musty and rotten smell unique to vacant houses hit his face, and Wu Fei couldn't help but frown.

“This kind of old house just won’t work if no one lives in it.”

"Then it's none of our business. It's thanks to Mingcheng that he negotiated with Mingda's boss, and they allowed us to dispose of the items in the house."

Wu Fei didn't answer, walked to the stairs leading to the second floor, and found that it was used to pile debris.

"All the rooms above were sold, and the neighbor opened the wall and built a B&B. The one you saw when I came here just now is doing very well." Su Mingzhe explained to her, and took Xiaomi into Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang's bedroom.

.

A piece of light leaked from the window, illuminating the photo frame on the opposite wall. He walked over and stared at the family photo inside.

Wu Fei followed and walked to her side: "This...is Mingyu, right?"

In the photo she was talking about, Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan were standing in the front, Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng were standing in the back with their arms around their shoulders, and next to them was Su Mingyu who deliberately leaned away without looking forward. Moreover, she was carrying a bag,

He looked like he was leaving at any moment.

"That's right."

"Her standing posture is quite strange, and her eyebrows have given people a feeling that she is very powerful and difficult to get along with since she was a child."

Su Mingzhe nodded: "When you say so...it's true, this look...looks more powerful than my mother's."

Wu Fei said: "By the way, should you call her and ask her if there is anything she particularly wants to keep, so that we can help her find it."

"Okay, I'll ask her."

Su Mingzhe picked up the phone and was about to dial Su Mingyu's number when he heard a strange noise behind him.

The two of them looked back and saw that it was Xiaomi who had stepped on the chair and climbed onto the table next to the bed, knocking over a dowry with a flowery moon pattern on it and knocking it over to the ground.

When Xiaomi saw the two of them turning around with reproachful expressions on their faces, she realized that she had done something wrong, her eyes turned red, and she burst into tears.

"do not Cry."

Wu Fei yelled at her and went over to take her off the table: "You dare to climb higher, you kid, you forgot what happened the day before yesterday so quickly."

After saying that, he slapped her butt twice as a warning.

This little girl is also a man. She put her little hands on Wu Fei's neck, buried her head in her mother's chest and sobbed softly. Will the adults be willing to spank her now?

"This is the box my mother used to store jewelry and cosmetics. I heard it was the dowry my grandmother bought for her when she got married."

Su Mingzhe picked up the dowry and put it on the table.

Wu Fei said: "It looks like it has been around for a while."

Xiaomi dropped the makeup package to the ground. Su Mingzhe was worried about the contents inside, so he opened the lid to check. At this moment, he discovered an anomaly. There was a layer of leather sealed on the inside of the lid, which had aged and cracked due to time.

After being thrown down by Xiaomi, a large piece of the seal was torn open, revealing a withered yellow line.

He took it out and looked at it, and his expression changed.

Wu Fei noticed the change in his expression and leaned over holding Xiaomi in his arms.

That was a photo. The surface had turned yellow and looked old.

The protagonist of the photo is a group of medical staff, including three rows of female nurses. There are several men sitting in the middle of the front row, both young and old. Judging from their appearance, they should be doctors in the hospital.
