Both of them are old husband and wife, and they have always talked about everything, but Cheng Tianyuan didn't want to hide it from her.
"It's certain that I can't bear to give up, but... I'm worried... I don't have much time to spend with my mother. Back then, my dad... that way, it was gone in a blink of an eye, and I didn't even have time to hear a last word. The old man gave birth to me and raised me.
In one incident, I didn’t even have the chance to take care of him. I don’t want to leave too many such regrets in my life.”
Xue Ling held his hand and whispered: "You are wrong. Dad was with us for more than ten years. You have been filial to him every day. Why don't you even have the chance to take care of him?"
"It's different." Cheng Tianyuan said: "He was able to take care of himself back then and he could help us take care of the children. It's better to say that he was taking care of us than to take care of him."
Xue Ling shook her head: "It's taking care of each other. You are disturbed by that incident, so you are worried that you will not live with your mother enough and do not want to leave any regrets that you can't be filial to the elderly. In fact, your father and mother are accompanying you from the county town.
We went to the imperial capital, from Dongfangyuan to Ronghua Mall, and later my mother accompanied us to Xinyuan, and we lived in total for many years. I don’t think that the elderly can’t take care of themselves anymore. That kind of care is true filial piety and care. We
Isn’t it all for them to accompany them every day or night?"
"...Finish." Cheng Tianyuan sighed: "I'm afraid there will be no more days for my mother. I'm afraid that she will be gone in a flash as my dad did."
Xue Ling lowered his eyes and whispered: "The ancients said that life is rare in seventy years. Now that living conditions are better, the average life expectancy of the elderly has also been longer. Whether it is your mother or my parents, they have already exceeded the average level.
.In my opinion, we are already lucky children. We have more time with them than others, and we have more than ten years. Over the years, the living conditions we provide them are not worthy of being the first to be
OK, but in a metropolis like the imperial capital, it can still be at the forefront."
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan agreed: "It's true."
Xue Ling glanced at him and asked, "What else do you want? Could it be that you really have to take your mother back to Chengjia Village to live? That would be the best for her? Is it possible?"
He had never thought of giving up his career before, but when he suddenly mentioned this today, it was mostly because he wanted to accompany the elderly.
In the imperial capital, he can still go to work and take care of his family. The reason why he suddenly wants to sell the company is probably because he wants to satisfy the old man's idea of returning to his hometown recently.
Cheng Tianyuan was speechless for a moment and whispered: "She always quarreled and wanted to go back to her hometown. She is normal now and blurred at a moment. I can't hold on to her. Do she really think so or something else? If she really wants to go back, it will be the last one in her life
I can only try my best to satisfy her wish."
"Returning to the roots of fallen leaves is a normal idea for every elderly person." Xue Ling nodded affirmatively: "She insisted on burying her in her hometown with your father, and we all agreed. But it does not mean that we have to go back now, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned in embarrassment.
Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "Are you sure she has to go back and live? Do you think it's better to go back to her? Is it possible? First of all, she has been away from Chengjia Village for more than 30 years, and the environment there has also changed.
After so much, it is no longer what she remembers. Can she adapt after she goes back?"
Cheng Tianyuan hesitated and whispered: "...most of the people she knows are gone."
Xue Ling asked again: "The environment has changed, and the person I met is gone. Can she still find the feeling she was in her hometown? Is it possible? On the imperial capital, can she have my parents as her companions, and I and Achun sister
Take care of. A group of young people come in and out, talk with her, eat and drink with her. Every day, there are two young great-grandchildren who make her play with her and make her laugh. If you accompany her back to Chengjia Village, are there any other possible things?"
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned and couldn't answer.
Xue Ling continued to analyze for him: "If you and mom want to live back, I will not be able to go back with you. First of all, my parents are old and cannot be taken care of by no one. Second, although I retreated,
I have to hold meetings and control the main direction of the company and the group. I have to go there for three or four days and answer the phone from time to time. My career is here, and I can't completely let go of it for the time being."
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his eyes silently and did not speak.
Xue Ling continued: "The careers and studies of several children are here, and they can't accompany you to Chengjia Village, that's for sure. Now the eldest and second brother will watch TV with their grandma and hug them when they get home from get off work at night. The children were around the three old men. If you go back, you will be your mother and son as your company all day long, and the whole villa will be empty."
"Do you think this will be beneficial to my mother's condition? Is it possible? Doctors won't say it? The elderly should be in a familiar environment, otherwise it will be easier to forget things. In the villa in my hometown, my mother has only lived two or three times.
Every time it is a short time. For her, it is undoubtedly an unfamiliar environment. Not to mention that there is heating here, there is a chef to make what to eat, there is a garden, and there is a person to guard in and out for 24 hours.
Do you think you can have these things when you go back to your hometown?”
"It is difficult to go from extravagant to frugality. It is not that the villa in my hometown is bad, the environment there is not the environment that the elderly are familiar with, nor the company of her familiar relatives, nor the good environment that she is familiar with. From the warm and familiar environment, it is the environment that is warm and familiar.
, Turning into a strange and lonely environment, do you think this is good for her? Is it possible? Have you considered it carefully? Ah?"
Seeing that she was getting angry the more she spoke, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Wife, don't be excited, I'm just discussing with you."
"I don't agree." Xue Ling said bluntly: "You can't just follow the imperial edict just because your mother was in a daze. The old man is old now, and we are all about the three meals and daily life. We should respect her and take care of her.
It doesn’t mean that we lose our judgment and ideas, and just keep in mind the elderly. Listening to her may not necessarily be filial. Not listening to her may not mean that we are unfilial."
Cheng Tianyuan said impatiently: "But she-she still talked about going back to her hometown! She said it again last night!"
"Do you think you can listen to her?" Xue Ling asked angrily: "I have analyzed it to you just now. You should have your own judgment! Could it be that the elderly are dementia and you are also dementia?!
”
Cheng Tianyuan had a blue face and was silent again.
Xue Ling red eyes and shouted: "Okay! I don't agree with this matter anyway! You calm down and think about the reasons I gave you just analyses! Moreover, now the children are old, and they have the right to speak for anything at home.
.You shouldn’t make decisions on your own, you have to listen to their opinions!”
After speaking, she turned around and left quickly.
