Han Yuanfang also smiled, "Thank you for your understanding. It's so late. If you have any questions, I'll just say it directly."
I want to find a companion for an old man. The old lady lives alone in the capital, and I don't trust her.
Er Qiang told me about my old lady’s situation, and old lady, you should also listen to me tell me about my old lady’s condition.”
That woman in her fifties had a good heart. She didn't have a family because the man she liked died outside, so she never married.
"The old lady has always been single and has not started a family. Her family's life is quite prosperous and she adopted her sister's granddaughter.
After they got married, they followed the man to the beach to live.
The old lady is getting older and is always worried about being alone. I want to find a clean person to accompany her.
Auntie, see if you can help?"
This woman was a gentle person. She thought for a moment, "It's not easy to serve people. I'm afraid the old lady has a bad temper."
"I am right to worry. In fact, getting along with anyone depends on fate. How about we go there this Saturday night? You can try spending a day with the old man on Sunday.
I think the old man is polite and clean.
Auntie, actually it’s nice to have a companion in life.”
"You can't tell anything after spending a day together."
"Well, if I think the old lady is okay at first but can't get along with her later, you can call me and I'll find someone to pick you up.
Don't worry, old lady. The old lady is literate and was a very capable person in the past. She will never be messy or unreasonable."
The second strongman also helped. "Yes, aunt, please go over and try. We have company over there."
"By the way, old lady, don't worry, the old man is in good health now and can still ride a tricycle by himself.
I just want to find someone to accompany her. Old lady, you will know if you go over and take a look. It is not what you think."
Xiaoqing couldn't say anything. The old lady was not married and had already told him that she would provide for her in the future. It would not be good for him to tell her now.
"Okay, I'll go take a look with you." It's actually quite lonely. In the past, outsiders always gossiped and didn't want to go out. As time went by, I became even more reluctant to go out.
It's good to go to another place, no one knows me, and besides, the old lady never got married in her life.
Han Yuanfang smiled, "Okay, grandma, thank you no matter what, and I will give you forty yuan a month. The old lady will be responsible for food and accommodation. I still have to go to school, and we will sit at midnight on Saturday."
The train is half-past.”
"Okay." Forty yuan is a lot.
"Don't worry, Xiaoqing and I will go see my old lady off." Erqiang said with a smile.
"Then it's settled. It's getting late, so I don't want to delay my rest. I'll be waiting for you at the train station on Saturday."
"Forget it, I'll pick you up. I'm not worried."
"Yes, I can just send my old lady there myself." Xiao Qing also said.
This matter has been settled. I hope that the two of us are destined to be together, so we can rest assured.
The three people left, and they continued to settle accounts.
By eleven o'clock, all the accounts were clear.
"Boss, I will reimburse you every month from now on."
"Okay. If you have time, half a month is fine. There will be more accounts in the future.
You go and rest, I will go to school tomorrow morning, you can make your own arrangements."
The two went to sleep in the dormitory. Han Yuanfang rested in the office.
I went home on Monday night and there were raw dumplings at home. Grandma Han knew her granddaughter’s taste. She made them with leeks and eggs.
I'll ask for leave from the teacher on Tuesday, or I won't have evening self-study on Saturday.
"Han Yuanfang, your physics competition results are out, this time you are first."
"Such a good result?"
"Well, next Monday the leaders of the Education Bureau will award you awards, including certificates and bonuses from the county, certificate bonuses from the city, and certificate bonuses from the province.
The city education bureau also has a reward of 150 yuan. The county education bureau will give 100 yuan, our township government will give 100 yuan, and the school will give 100 yuan."
Han Yuanfang smiled, "Give me so much money?"
Teacher Lei also smiled. "Not much. I'm just telling you, you must come back on Monday."
"Okay, I will definitely be back on Monday, don't worry, teacher."
I can't go back on Tuesday. This is a matter of honor for the school. I still want to make it easier to ask for leave in the future, so of course I won't give up. Besides, this is something to be proud of.
Back in the classroom, Li Lingyu turned around and started gossiping, "Classmate Han Yuanfang, are you going to ask for leave again?"
"Yeah! What? Are you envious?"
"Tch, who envy you? I also feel that I don't have enough time in school. You are always so lazy, just wait for me to surpass you."
"Okay, I'm optimistic about you and you must work hard."
"Tch, I don't believe it myself."
When I get home in the evening, the old man is at home.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just never saw you coming over to take a look. Your uncle is angry at me for being like this."
"Grandma, why don't you and my father go to live in the city? You have seen that for such a big industry, you still need a family to feel at ease."
"Let you go too. I will light a fire for you at home. There is also Shuli. I am not worried about leaving her alone at home."
Han Yuanfang knew this would be the case. It was normal for an old man to look at his eldest granddaughter.
"My father doesn't trust you even in the city." Han Yuanfang said while eating dumplings.
"What are you worried about?"
Han Yuanfang's mind turned and said, "Grandma, what did my uncle say when he got divorced?"
"Give the house to Jiang Hongling and give her half of the money."
"Well, then when you go to the city in the future, my uncle and Han Shuli can live in your home."
Grandpa Han actually thought the same thing. But the old lady was worried. She felt that she had gone to the city to enjoy herself, and no one would take care of her eldest son and granddaughter.
Han Yuanfang has no objection. Whatever happens is fine. "Grandpa, no matter what you decide, you won't be able to farm next year."
Grandpa Han shook his head, "If we don't accompany you to the city, I will farm. I won't be too tired. If I don't work, I will feel uncomfortable."
"Grandpa, I will give you and my grandma fifty yuan every month from now on. Don't worry about money."
"No, no, your grandma and I have money."
“I’ll keep it for you, and when you have the money, you can open it if you want.
Grandpa, I have money and the ability to support you now. It's okay. You don't have to worry about anything. In the future, even if you are old and unable to move, I will find someone to take care of you if I don't have time.
Grandma, don’t think too much about it. To put it bluntly, how many elderly people in our village can still be taken care of by the people below when they can no longer move?
When the time comes, I will definitely find the best caregiver for you to take care of you."
Han Yuanfang was giving the two old people reassurance, so that they would not worry about the future.
This is always the case when I get older. In my previous life, I always invited people for my parents. It’s not that I’m unfilial, but I know that there are no filial sons in bed for a long time.
