When they heard that the old lady could live for more than ten years, several people became excited. After Wu You got excited, he became distressed and said: "Mr. Xu, arrange for the old lady to go to that courtyard. We can do it after we apply, but the key point is
This is the attitude of the young couple from the Lin family."
"If the young couple really likes the old lady, that's the best thing. But if the young couple finds it troublesome, this matter won't work. We can't force the arrangement. Instead, let the old lady suffer."
Hearing this, several police comrades nodded. They had feelings for the old lady and did not want to see the old lady being upset.
"Hey, what a bunch of pig brains." Mr. Xu looked down upon them and said, "Have you not seen Li Xiuzhi's attitude towards the old lady these days? Haven't you seen Lin Jiaguo's attitude towards the old lady?"
Do you want me to cook my own food every day and bring it to the old lady?"
"The old lady's family's pension has been donated, and the young couple knows it. The old lady has no money now, and the young couple also knows it."
"That's it. They still take good care of the old lady. What do you think they want?"
yes!
Several people came to their senses again, what could this young couple want?
Wanting the old lady's money? This is impossible. The old lady has no money now, and they are sure of it.
Now the old lady has some benefits that are enough to sustain her life. The young couple can't do this.
They knew the situation of the Lin family and the young couple, and they would never want such a small amount of money.
After thinking about this, everyone's eyes lit up. Wu You said: "Tomorrow, I will visit you personally and test the couple's tone of voice."
Mr. Xu finally nodded, waved to these "elm heads" and said: "Let's talk first, I have given you this idea. If you can get the thing done, you have to deal with the old lady's situation.
Please explain clearly."
Several people were confused again, but Mr. Xu did not think they were stupid this time, but explained: "I have also been in contact with several patients in their hospital, and as far as I know, there are a lot of bad things going on in their courtyard.
"
"If you really want the young couple to accept the old lady as your grandmother, you have to make it clear to those people. You can't let some thoughtful people think that the young couple is after the old lady's money. After all, some people with bad intentions will give people
look for a job."
When Wu You and others heard this, they narrowed their eyes and decided to explore the courtyard.
After Mr. Xu explained a few more words, he left. After Wu You and others discussed it, one person was left to take care of the old lady, while the others went to the street director Lin's house to inquire about some things about the courtyard where Lin Jiaguo lived.
The next day happened to be a day off. Lin Jiaguo took Li Xiuzhi and went to his father-in-law's house first. Although he had decided to adopt a grandma, he had to let his father-in-law and mother-in-law know about this.
In the room, after listening to the young couple's narration, Li Pengsheng was silent for a long time.
When he raised his head again, he took a few puffs of cigarette, stared at the two of them very seriously, and asked: "Let me ask again, have you really decided?"
At this time, he seemed to be no longer their father, but an iron-blooded soldier who had returned to the battlefield.
"Well, we have decided." The young couple nodded in unison.
Li Pengsheng's expression became more serious and said: "Since you have decided, then go ahead and do it."
"Now, as a former soldier, Dad would like to thank you and thank you for making such a decision."
As he said that, he stood up with his crutches, stared at the two of them with stern eyes, and said firmly: "Now that you have made a decision, you must give the old lady a peaceful life to enjoy her old age. Can you do it?"
"able"
The two nodded again, stood up and wanted to help Li Pengsheng sit down. Li Pengsheng shook his head and said to the two of them: "Your dad, I used to be a soldier. Although I have retired now, dad will salute you now."
"This military salute is given by dad on behalf of the old lady's son, grandson, and granddaughter, because they are martyrs and the ancestors and comrades of dad, a retired soldier."
After speaking, he straightened his body and raised his hands in salute.
Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi felt extraordinary strength at this time. They held hands and said to Li Pengsheng: "Dad, we can do it well."
…
At the police station, Lin Jiaguo came with Li Xiuzhi. If he wanted to recognize the old lady as his grandmother, he had to discuss it with Wu You and the others. After all, the old lady had always been taken care of by them.
Wu You was currently listening to some of his subordinates talking about the Lin family's courtyard house. Listening to this, he finally understood what Mr. Xu meant by the bullshit.
But these are trivial matters, and he doesn't believe it. If he really wants the old lady to live there, those people who dare to have thoughts about the old lady will be slapped if they really dare to have thoughts about her.
The more important point is that the old lady is too perceptive. The old lady's knowledge is not bad. She enlightened her two sons by herself. Also, the old lady's eyes have seen so much prosperity and rise and fall, just like the Siheyuan.
The old man's eyes can't hide such nonsense.
Thinking of this, Wu You wanted to find out what the Lin family and his wife were saying. Just as he was thinking about it, the Lin family and his wife came.
"Jiaguo, Xiuzhi, what's wrong with you?"
During this period of time, everyone had become familiar with each other, and they spoke much more casually. Lin Jiaguo did not make any meanderings, and directly stated what he and Xiuzhi meant.
After hearing what he said, Wu You and others couldn't help laughing. Isn't this just right?
Since it was a good time, the two parties hit it off immediately. Several people contacted Director Lin from the street and asked Director Lin to help handle some matters. Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi, together with Wu You, went to the hospital to pick up the old lady.
In the hospital, the old lady made the bed she slept on. After tidying it up, she sighed slightly and prepared to leave.
"Old lady, you have a really good body." Mr. Xu walked in with a smile. When the old lady saw it was him, she thanked her repeatedly.
"Old lady, please tell me the truth, how do you feel about the girl Li Xiuzhi and the boy Lin Jiuguo?"
Hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses. Her eyes became a little more colorful and she said: "It's all good. My good granddaughter has good taste. She married a caring person, and the young couple are both blessed.
"
When Mr. Xu heard this, he nodded and said with a smile: "Old lady, I'll just tell you directly. We are going to..."
He told Wu You and others their plans. After hearing this, the old lady was happy at first, but then she frowned and said, "It's not good for me, an old lady, to bother a young couple."
Although she wanted to live closer to Li Xiuzhi, and although she also knew that Li Xiuzhi was not her biological granddaughter, after a few days of contact, she already regarded Li Xiuzhi as her biological granddaughter.
When I think about myself as an old lady, as time goes by, she will become older and her health will get worse. If she really has to be next to that young couple, it will only cause trouble for her family.
Forget it, just keep a little thought. At your age, the loess is buried up to your neck, so don't cause trouble to Xiuzhi and the country.
Mr. Xu seemed to see through the old lady's thoughts. He smiled and said: "Old lady, I have been practicing medicine for decades. These eyes have seen too many joys and sorrows, as well as a lot of true love."
"If you really don't want to let go of the young couple, then don't have any scruples. At your age, what are you afraid of?"
Hearing this, the old lady opened her mouth, and then heard Mr. Xu continue: "Old lady, you are worried that your age and health will drag down the young couple, but this person has to go to that point."
"You only think about being a drag, don't you want to be sincere to sincere? If you treat the young couple sincerely, treat the young couple as your own granddaughters and grandchildren, and exchange sincerity for sincerity, the young couple will take care of you in the last period of time,
That’s what it should be.”
Seeing that the old lady had already moved, Mr. Xu added more fuel to the fire and said: "Old lady, let's say something ugly. If you really get sick or paralyzed in the future and feel that you are dragging down the young couple, the worst possible outcome is that you will go on a hunger strike and die."
, this way, it won’t be a drag on others.”
At this moment, the old lady finally relieved her worries and said with a rather anxious look: "Can Jiaguo and Xiuzhi agree that I can live there?"
"Definitely." Mr. Xu was extremely sure. He pointed at his eyes and said with a smile, "Although I don't understand the theory of physiognomy, I can still see some things with my eyes."
The old lady suddenly became happy, chatting with Mr. Xu with a bit of anticipation and eagerness.
While the two were chatting, the three people from Lin Jiaguo came. Seeing Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi, the old lady's spirit became a little better. Mr. Xu smiled and watched Li Xiuzhi talking to the old lady.
"Old lady, we are here today because..." Lin Jiaguo expressed his meaning clearly. The old lady could not help but shed tears as she listened. Li Xiuzhi hurriedly comforted her.
When Lin Jiaguo and Wu You saw this, they were both startled. They were afraid that something might happen to the old lady. They subconsciously looked at Mr. Xu. They saw Mr. Xu smiling at them and shaking their heads slightly to indicate that it was okay. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
.
After the old lady stabilized her mood, she was discharged from the hospital. Several people got in the car and came to the subdistrict office.
When they arrived, Director Lin from the street was already waiting. When he saw Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi, Director Lin reached out and patted his shoulders and warned: "In the future, you must take good care of the old lady."
"Yes." Lin Jiaguo nodded heavily. Director Lin nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the old lady: "Old lady, this is what we think about, because there are no other vacancies in the courtyard. As for you, go and live in Lin Jiaguo first.
This guy spent a lot of money to renovate the other room in the house to ensure that you will always have a comfortable stay."
Hearing this, the old lady looked at the young couple, then at Director Lin, her eyes narrowed and she said with a smile: "Director Lin, with your arrangement, I shouldn't have said anything more."
"But now that I, an old woman, have become the grandmother of the young couple, I have to think about them. Oh, by the way, I, who is about to become a great-grandmother, also have to think about my great-grandchildren."
Listening to her words, several people also laughed. The old lady smiled and said: "So, if I live there, I won't occupy the young couple's room. Otherwise, I won't have to talk about it when my great-grandchildren are born.
It’s me, their great-grandmother, who has taken over their room.”
Several people laughed again as they listened. This old lady seemed to have really opened her heart.
At this point, the old lady changed the topic and said, "Well, my original room is not bad, so we can change it."
"Just give me a house in the courtyard. This way, I won't let anyone suffer any loss."
After she finished speaking, Director Lin and others thought about it and decided that this was a solution. After confirming that the old lady really wanted to change, Director Lin took a few people to the courtyard.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Li Xiuzhi took the old lady home first, while Director Lin and others, after looking at the houses in the front yard, decided to choose the house next to the Lin family's wing. This house was not small, so they exchanged it with the old lady's house.
Even though the old lady lost some money, she still made sense.
Although the old lady said that she could change houses at will, Director Lin and Wu You couldn't let the old lady suffer too much. The old lady didn't care about this, so they had to be careful. They admired the old lady in their hearts.
Several people appeared, including the senior gentleman in the courtyard. Wu You looked at these people and thought of Mr. Xu's reminder, so he simply "vaccinated" them first.
Seeing Wu You going to "preach" to these people, Lin Jiaguo smiled, and he and Director Lin came to the family's house.
"Uncle Wang, the thing is like this, I..." Seeing that the family was a little afraid of Director Lin, Lin Jiaguo first handed over the cigarette and then explained his intention. After hearing what he said, Uncle Wang said: "Xiao Lin, uncle
You have to take a look at the house before you can make a decision."
"Of course, this is a matter of your own free will. After looking at the house, uncle, if you don't want to, just say so directly." Lin Jiaguo nodded and Uncle Wang nodded slightly. After the two agreed, Director Lin took the
A few people went to the old lady's house first.
The old lady's home was not a courtyard, but a building. After opening the door and entering the room, Uncle Wang and his wife looked around and were very satisfied. This house was much more spacious than their own.
"Xiao Lin, you handled this matter thoroughly." Uncle Wang gave a thumbs up and praised, and said: "It would be a loss for the old lady to replace her. Let's do this. Our family will make up some money, and the old lady will
We cannot let such a person suffer."
After hearing this, Lin Jiaguo shook his head with a smile and said: "Uncle, I know you have good intentions. You have already done a great help by changing the house. There is no need to pay for it."
As he spoke, he pointed at the empty room and said, "This is empty. You have to buy a lot of things when you come here. How about bringing all the furniture in the room here."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang was stunned. When he realized it, he immediately shook his head and said, "Xiao Lin, aren't you slapping me in the face?"
"Uncle, to tell you the truth, I'm happy to be able to change rooms. After all, you know the shit going on in the courtyard."
"For this alone, I have to thank you."
One of them wanted to give in, but the other didn't want to take advantage of it. In the end, Director Lin made the decision. Uncle Wang moved the furniture from the courtyard, which saved him the trouble of preparing it again.
As for Uncle Wang, he also gave the old lady a sum of money to make up for the difference.
After the two parties agreed, Director Lin began to get busy, while Lin Jiaguo took Wu You and the others, and the old lady, back to the old lady's house again to help pack the things she wanted to move there.
There is strength in numbers, and with Wu You and the others finding a truck, moving will be easier.
At night, Uncle Wang's family had moved over. The old lady looked at the family and asked Lin Jiaguo and others to go downstairs first.
"Old lady, are you reluctant to let go?" Uncle Wang joked. The old lady shook her head and smiled and said: "Although I have lived here for a long time, my heart is not here."
Uncle Wang sighed softly and understood the meaning of the old lady's words. Then he smiled and said: "Old lady, we also watched Xiaolin grow up. That child is a good one, and her daughter-in-law Xiuzhi is even more so.
The wife of the head of the family."
"You recognize your grandchildren now, and you will enjoy the blessings in the future."
The old lady was smiling from ear to ear as she listened. It was obvious that she was now more optimistic about the future.
After saying a few words, the old lady took out the money that Uncle Wang had given her, stretched out her hand and put the money in the hand of Uncle Wang's little girl. The little girl wanted to shrink her hand, but the old lady caught her.
"Old lady, what are you doing?" Uncle Wang was stunned and asked. The old lady smiled and said to him: "You can accept this little money. My old lady still has one thought at this age.
It’s a beautiful thing.”
"Let's change rooms. You are an adult beauty. I can't repay the old lady. I will give this small amount of money to the little girl. It is a part of my heart."
When Uncle Wang heard this, he wanted to refuse, but the old lady shook her head and said, "How about you just treat me as an old lady?"
Seeing that the old lady had made up her mind, Uncle Wang said no more and said to his daughter: "Xiaoya, thank you grandma quickly."
"Thank you, grandma." The little girl's voice was crisp. After the old lady put the money in her hand, she reached out and touched her head and said with a smile: "Xiao Ya, study hard in the future and become a person who is useful to the country.
People, okay?"
"good"
The old lady smiled, nodded to the family, turned and left.
As soon as she left, Uncle Wang looked at her back, then at the money in Xiaoya's hand, and blessed her softly: "You must live well in your old age and be a centenarian."
Downstairs, after the old lady came down, she was helped into the car.
"Old lady, you don't get car sick, do you?" Lin Jiaguo asked. The old lady glanced at him and said with a smile: "You hozen, what the hell, I want to see your grandma's joke."
"You won't see any jokes today. Your grandma doesn't get carsick."
Several people laughed one after another, and the car started to drive towards the courtyard.
When they came to the courtyard, Lin Jiaguo did not let the old lady live in Uncle Wang's original house, but let the old lady live in another room that had been renovated.
"Jiaguo, I wish I could live in that house." The old lady looked at the renovated room, which was clean and transparent, and thought that it was a bit unreasonable that she had occupied the room just after she came here.
"Old lady, do you want to keep the good house and experience the days when you were hungry and cold?" Lin Jiaguo laughed and said to the old lady: "Even if you want to live there, you have to wait.
I'm not buying you something."
"Old lady, you can live here with peace of mind." Li Xiuzhi made the bed for the old lady and said with a smile: "If you stay in this house, it will be popular enough. When the interior of the house was renovated, it was opened up. When you go over to eat
It’s also convenient.”
"Okay, let's live here then." The old lady knew that this was what the two of them wanted, so she nodded in agreement and helped to pack it up.
Outside the gate of the compound, Lin Jiaguo was seeing Wu You and others off. They were smoking cigarettes. Wu You said to Lin Jiaguo: "Xiao Lin, if anyone in the yard dares to make the old lady suffer, you can come to us and we will deal with it."
people."
Several other people also nodded in agreement. Lin Jiaguo nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, the old lady is too transparent. People in this courtyard can't scheme against her. In addition to our movements today, they can't.
Those who have scruples.”
"Hehe, you are indeed a good showman." Wu You smiled and said, "Director Lin and we will help take care of the rest. You just need to take good care of the old lady. There is no need for anything else.
