At half past five in the winter morning, it was still dark outside, and the sound of getting up was heard from the old farmyard.
Aunt Lianhua neatly tidied herself up and turned to look at the old lady lying on the bed next to her.
Under the light, the old lady's cheeks were round, and although her wrinkles were deep, her complexion was already rosy. In addition, she had eaten well and slept soundly during this period, and her upper limbs had become stronger.
At this moment, my daughter-in-law didn't need help. I sat up with both hands. I put on my coat first, then turned around, supported the wheelchair on the side, and sat on it with difficulty.
"Mom, I feel like your movements are much more flexible."
Aunt Lianhua watched from the side, her eyes full of surprise.
"Yes!" The old lady was also happy.
In the past, my daughter-in-law took care of these things, so I saved myself some trouble, but the psychological burden was heavy, and besides, it was tiring!!
The son I raised was not a good person in the first place, but now I am dragging him down. Aunt Lianhua doesn't even like to drink water at home.
It was different now. When she got into the wheelchair, she first touched the thermos cup and drank a lot of hot water, and then pushed the wheelchair into the yard. She had to go to the toilet.
This toilet is a flush toilet that Lotus bought in October. There are poles fixed on both sides. She only needs to hold it up with both hands to sit on it.
Although the direction of sitting is reversed, it doesn't affect her use at all despite her age. So wouldn't it be possible to flush, dry and dry it?
Just this smart thing cost 3,000 yuan!
One month’s salary from Lotus!
But the old lady gave her another supply. She has been knitting straw mats at Lao Song's house this summer. Because she had so many ideas, she earned more than 8,000 yuan that month...
Ouch! If I had known there was something like this that could wash and dry buttocks, wouldn’t I have bought it a long time ago! It would have been in vain for my daughter-in-law to suffer for so many years.
The old lady came out of the toilet, washing her hands and giving instructions:
"Hurry up and pack yours, and pack the bedding. I'll finish packing later and we'll go straight up the mountain."
Aunt Lianhua moved quickly: "The quilts and sheets were packed last night. Mom, drink the white fungus soup first. Let's eat together at the canteen on the mountain this morning."
In fact, there is breakfast every day in the canteen on the mountain, but the old lady has no work to do now, so she is too embarrassed to go. Anyway, she can cook two eggs for breakfast.
This white fungus soup is the same ground white fungus powder that Song Tan gave her before. She is old and has to sit every day to go to the toilet, which is not very smooth.
But drinking a bowl of white fungus soup every morning is different. Since discovering this incident, Aunt Lianhua has stewed a bowl of it every night.
As for herself?
She doesn't have to.
She now eats on the mountain every day, but the old Song family’s tea and snacks are never lacking, and she always takes advantage of them!
No, I am working harder and harder.
Neither of them was a picky person. After the old lady drank a small bowl of white fungus soup in two or three gulps, Aunt Lianhua put the sheets and quilts she had packed in her arms, and then pushed her wheelchair directly up the mountain.
The village was quiet, and the street lights had long been turned off, but in this misty morning, the asphalt road could still be seen clearly.
This road is so well built!
The old lady also muttered: "I saved 22,000 yuan this year, I will give you 5,000 yuan later, and I will keep 2,000 yuan for myself. Ask Tantan and the others, what kind of electric wheelchairs are there now? I think they can be used on Douyin."
Running on the main road, the speed is not slow!"
"I'm asking, can I buy one? Is 20,000 yuan enough?"
She can push it by hand now, but it's a bit difficult to go uphill. If the old lady didn't have strong arms now, she might not be able to push it up.
Besides, Lianhua was always worried about what happened when she pushed out and she couldn't get out of the way... What's the matter with working for others and always worrying about the family?
This is all a shame to the good people of the old Song family.
But after the old lady finished speaking, she felt happy: "Oh, why am I so rich? I'm willing to spend 20,000 yuan!"
Thinking about it, I was really stupid before. If I had money, I would save it, and I wouldn’t let go of it if it costs 10 yuan or 8 yuan! Not to mention anything else, you can buy that smart toilet for 3,000 yuan. If you had bought it earlier, there would be no need for lotus flowers to serve her.
All these years?
Aunt Lianhua was also happy: "You have to spend the flowers! Yan Ping told me that this is called a rigid need, and it is something that must be bought. Buy it early and enjoy it early!"
The old lady nodded cheerfully: "Yes, yes! Don't think Yan Ping is not good at work. He came from a good university and makes money with his brains. He is also kind."
"In the summer, his classmate called and said that his current monthly salary is more than 20,000 yuan. If he goes out to work, it must be at the same level. We can't earn more than 20,000 yuan. I heard that he is capable."
Aunt Lianhua nodded "Yeah". The old lady was old, so she kept saying it over and over again with emotion. This was not the first time she heard this.
Not only Zhang Yanping, but everyone in the old Song family took it out individually and said it again.
Fortunately, there is another focus today——
"Lotus, do you still have enough money to decorate the house on the mountain? If not, take the 20,000 yuan as well."
The old lady came up with a good idea: "Yes, you can use the 20,000 yuan to decorate the house, but we won't buy the wheelchair yet! If that piece of shit comes back during the Chinese New Year, I'll go crazy and get it from him!"
He is said to be his biological son, but who can he be if he doesn't recognize his mother or his wife?
Now when she hears the man who told her that she couldn't hold her head up again, Aunt Lianhua feels quite calm: "It doesn't matter whether you come back or not. If you feel uncomfortable when you come back, we will live in the mountains. I will also install smart toilets on the mountains."
"Save the money to buy a wheelchair or not. Everything on my mountain has been decorated. I will take the quilts and bedsheets and put them away today. If it doesn't work out, my mother and I will come and live there. It will be equally beautiful."
Obviously very confident.
The old lady pouted: "Okay, let's do this for now."
At the same time, he muttered: "The feng shui of our village is really bad. Why are neither of us filial? During the Chinese New Year, why don't we discuss how to move the ancestral graves to another place..."
"How can you be unfilial?" Aunt Lianhua laughed.
The old lady has already counted: "Look at Tan Tan, his cousin's son hasn't come back for so many years, right?"
"The three children of Zhang Wang's family."
"That old man Li who herds the cows... I have heard from Tan Tan in the summer. If he is really filial, Old Man Li will definitely come back to clean up the house in glory this year. But let's take a look, by the end of the year, he may not
Why are you so depressed?"
"And that thing we have at home."
The old lady is old and has a bright mind.
There are some unfilial people in other villages, but if they don't do this, they are at most the old people who grumble while getting paid for medical treatment...
It’s different from this one where you don’t show any shame!
Thinking about it this way, is it true that the place where the ancestral grave is buried is wrong?
But their graves are also scattered in each family's field...
After thinking about it like this, the old lady still sighed: "You blame me for not teaching you well!"
