() "What? Do you think I'm bragging to you?" Lalawen|Xuellwx.,Full text|Word Hand-beating The old man looked at me and asked.
"No." I understood quite a bit: "Natural disaster. There is no way to escape."
"Heh, Mr. Yu, it seems that you are also a person with stories." The old man looked at me with bright eyes.
"I used to think that I was the most miserable person in the world. In fact, it is nothing compared to your experience." I said.
"Haha." The old man smiled bitterly and continued: "After retiring from the swimming team, I complained and hesitated. But what can I do? Life still has to go on. I was already married at that time. I used my past With the little savings I had saved, I finally got through the difficulties. A few years later, with the help of my friends, I joined a company as a logistics and warehousing recordkeeper."
"Because my literacy level is low, my handwriting is very ugly. Every time someone comes to collect something, my writing is crooked. Once, an employee laughed at me and said that not only was my leg disabled, but my hand was disabled as well. I would never be able to write in my life. Good calligraphy." A smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth: "I thought at that time. It's just writing. As long as I work hard, there is nothing I can't do. So I asked a master in the company for advice. He Good handwriting. Guess what happened next."
"Later he accepted you as his apprentice. Then you developed good calligraphy and silenced those who mocked you." I was a little excited. The protagonist in the online novel w Search "Haitian Chinese" on Baidu to read the latest chapter They're all so awesome.
"Wrong." The old man said with a smile: "The master taught me for two days. He told me, how can you learn to write if you are like this? Even if Wang Xizhi teaches you personally, you will not be able to practice. What should you do? go."
I:"……"
"It's quite interesting. Haha. No one taught me, so I bought copybooks and copied them by myself. My son had just been born at that time. Our family's financial situation was quite difficult. In order to avoid waste, I practiced with water on the copybooks. I didn't get tired of it over and over again. At that time The conditions are not as good as they are now. The house is drafty from all sides in the winter, and mosquitoes and ants are swarming in the summer... My wife also advised me. I am already in my late 30s and almost 40s. Why should I practice Chinese calligraphy? Isn’t that not doing my job properly?”
When the old man mentioned that his son was born, I was stunned for a moment. Since he has a son, why would Mao want to live in a nursing home? Don't you think your son will support you? Although I was confused, I didn't dare to ask.
"No matter what she said, I didn't give up anyway. When the children were young, there were too many messy things at home. I would wait for the two of them to fall asleep and get up every day. I would practice four or five hours a day. The same thing at work. "Practice whenever I have free time." A glow appeared on the old man's face: "Later I discovered that, in fact, many jobs in this world are the same. In each stroke, I feel that it is similar to swimming. What I asked for was a rhythm and a state of mind. Nothing was careless. Five years later, I won a prize in a calligraphy competition held in Fujian Province. I was even admitted as a member of the Municipal Calligraphy Association."
"Huh." I breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, all the hardships came to an end.
"Later, after I became somewhat famous, I participated in many activities and relied on writing for others. I bought a house, a car, and lived a prosperous life in Fuzhou." The old man paused.
"Old man... Then why do you live here?" I finally couldn't help it.
"Maybe it's because I committed too many sins in my previous life." A bitterness flashed through the old man's turbid eyes. He smiled and said: "Didn't I say before that I had a son? The year we bought the house, he was just twelve years old. Usually in the class, everyone He got first place in every exam. And under my supervision, he has been able to write well since he was a child... Haha. However, when he was twelve years old, he suffered from leukemia... From the discovery to the end of the treatment, he went through a total of five Yue. In the end, I was heavily in debt, but I still couldn't save his life."
"Old man, I'm sorry." The tip of my heart trembled. I broke my leg when I was young. In middle age, I suffered the pain of losing a child. Compared with him, my experiences are nothing.
"Hey, decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Later, our husband and wife paid off the debt. She completed the task and left first. It's not interesting for me to be alone. So I came here to have sex with my brothers and sisters. Companion." The old man looked at me very relaxedly and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, do you think I am quite heartless?"
"No. You are very strong." I said.
"Actually, no matter when I quit retirement, or when my son died early, or even on those nights when I was practicing calligraphy alone, I felt hopeless and even inexplicable panic. Whenever I couldn't hold on any longer, I thought about my old mother. He told me the story of Sanwei Zhenhuo. So I mustered up the courage and strode forward." The old man looked at me seriously: "Do you know what the three lamps that light up life are called?"
I was silent. The old man said calmly: "Confidence, courage, and perseverance."
After saying that, the old man silently lit another cigarette, but a huge wave surged in my heart. I could not have imagined that on this day without any warning, I would fail. I went to a nursing home that could no longer be dilapidated. An old man I had never met gave me the most vivid moment in my life with his personal experience.
Confidence, courage, perseverance... maybe these three bright lights will also shine on me to keep moving forward.
At noon, under the arrangement of the aunt, we had lunch with the elderly. The aunt enthusiastically introduced to me. Wufeng Nursing Home now houses a total of fifty-seven elderly people. It can raise almost thirty pigs a year. Part 1 Hundreds of chickens and ducks, and most of the vegetables they eat are grown by the elderly themselves. Therefore, although the amount of government subsidies is very small, they can still survive.
After lunch, Xiao Tingting was busy helping to decorate the nursing home. She put the couplets and the characters "Fu" she bought in the supermarket in the morning on the door. At her request, the elderly people all changed into the cotton-padded jackets she bought. The entire nursing home A new spring atmosphere filled the air.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Tingting, who had been busy for a whole day, didn't care about her physical fatigue. Just like a child, she happily greeted the elderly people with New Year greetings and showed off her singing voice. She sang "Gong Xi Fa Cai" for them. I sat down Opposite the old people, I accidentally saw that some old people's weather-beaten eyes were already shining with tears.
Maybe...it hasn't been this lively here for a long time.
"Tingting, when will you be free?" It was after five o'clock. When Xiao Tingting and I were preparing to leave, the aunt who received us in the morning asked with some reluctance.
"I can't say that." Xiao Tingting looked tired, but she still smiled and said, "After all, we have to work."
"That's right." Auntie smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Auntie, this is for you." Xiao Tingting took out a bank card from her pocket, handed it to her aunt, and said: "There is one hundred thousand yuan on this card. The password is six zeros. When are you free, go and get it. come out."
"Tingting. You have spent a lot today. How can you be so embarrassed?" Auntie's face changed slightly and she pushed Xiao Tingting's hand back: "You are kind-hearted. Auntie also knows that you want to help us. But now Prices are rising. How much can you earn in a month? If you give us so much, you won’t be able to make ends meet in the future.”
"Auntie, don't worry. Even if I don't have a penny, someone will support me." Xiao Tingting glanced at me secretly. Then she said with a smile: "Besides, this money is not from my personal pocket. It is given by Zuihongchen Charity Fund. Your sponsorship. Since our fund has just been established, the amount of sponsorship is relatively small. When we develop in the future, it will definitely be of greater help."
"This..." Auntie hesitated a little when she heard what Xiao Tingting said. After all, there are still fifty or sixty people in the nursing home waiting to eat. Although one hundred thousand is not much, it can solve part of the problem.
"Auntie, you scoop it up." I interjected: "I didn't think well. I didn't understand the situation here before... Well. After I go back this time, our Haitian Network Technology Co., Ltd. will also consider increasing charity to Zui Hongchen. The fund’s support will strive to enable more elderly people to spend their old age peacefully.”
"Since Mr. Yu said so..." Auntie hesitantly scooped the bank card into her hand. Then she bowed deeply to us: "Thank you both. I wish you good people a safe life."
Farewell to auntie, our Q7 slowly drove out of the mountain road. Under auntie's reluctant eyes, it gradually drifted away.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?" The girl, who had been jumping around all day, leaned on the back of the co-pilot and asked weakly.
"No, I didn't think about anything." I sighed: "Tingting, if you hadn't brought me here today, I wouldn't have known that there was such a group of people living in a certain corner of the world."
"This nursing home is quite good." Xiao Tingting also sighed heavily: "If you go to the orphanage and see the innocent smiling faces of the children and learn about their tragic experiences, I guess you will feel this way. Rich people can cry on the spot."
"Maybe." I took a deep breath and said, "I don't know much about these. I have never participated in it before... I will discuss it with the vice president later and withdraw some funds from other profit points of the company and inject them into your charity fund. .As for how the money will be spent, I don’t ask.”
"You are willing." Xiao Tingting looked at me jokingly.
"You can give it up. Why can't I give it up? Besides, I didn't scoop them all out." I said with a smile: "If I really don't have money, I will go after King Qin and expose a piece of his equipment. It will be enough for you to fund several companies. It’s a nursing home.”
"Hehe. This is a good idea." Xiao Tingting looked at me with a smile: "Boss Yuwang, I find you are really kind."
"Far worse than you." This sentence comes from the bottom of my heart. Compared with everything Xiao Tingting has done, I really feel humble.
"Okay. Since you are so kind, I think I will reward you today." Xiao Tingting pointed to the Yonghui Supermarket that appeared in front of her and said, "Stop. Stop at the entrance of the supermarket."
"What are you doing?" I looked at her puzzled: "Are we still going to buy new year's goods?"
"Of course not." Xiao Tingting jumped out of the car: "I'm going to buy some food. I'll let you try my cooking tonight."
"No need." I frowned and said, "After you buy the groceries, where are you going to cook them?"
"Let's go to your house." Xiao Tingting said carelessly: "Oh, by the way. I'll buy some pajamas by the way. I'll sleep at your place tonight."
"What." I was shocked on the outside and tender on the inside. But after Xiao Tingting finished speaking, she ignored me and walked into the supermarket.
