"Slow down, slow down, isn't the water hot? Grandpa is not in a hurry, he is not thirsty."
My son died early and is gone. He has not even married a wife to give him a grandson or granddaughter.
Except for his son who died, his other brothers and sisters all have their own homes. After his son died, the old man thought that it would be his turn to live in a bridge cave in his later years. Who could have imagined that he would still have this day?
, can enjoy this blessing.
Thinking of his brothers and sisters who no longer had much contact with him, fearing that he would drag them down, the old man said that the lives of those brothers and sisters who have children and daughters in their later years may not be as good as he is now.
I especially remember that he had no one to take care of him. For the sake of his being a martyr's family, the government went to find his other relatives to take care of him. What those people's faces looked like when they rejected him: "I advised you earlier, right?
Bingzi is such a good boy. When he was here before, he had a filial character. We have already said that what is good about being a soldier is that it is not much money and it is dangerous. You see, Bingzi never came back after he left.
Not even a child is left behind, only you are left alone. If you had listened to us earlier and not let soldiers go to work as soldiers, but let soldiers go to work, would you be like this today? What do you call a soldier?
Son, I think when you named the soldier, you made the wrong name, which was unlucky."
When he thought of those words, the old man felt aggrieved.
What's wrong with being a soldier? It's not good anywhere.
If no one had to serve as soldiers, the country would be what it is today, and would everyone be able to live in peace and harmony now? Do you think he just wants to send soldiers to become soldiers? When Bingzi was in school, his grades were so good. During the college entrance examination,
If you have good grades, you can study for one. But he has no money. Bingzi's mother is not in good health, and the family's money has long been spent on treating Bingzi's mother.
The family has no money, so he wants to borrow money. He wants his son to become a college student so that he can find a better job after graduation. Once he earns money, he can pay off the debt.
Who would have thought that those relatives, seeing that their family's conditions were poor, none of them were willing to help Bingzi, and they even introduced Bingzi to work, telling him not to continue studying. What kind of jobs were they? They were dishwashers.
It's not that the old man looks down on the dishwashers, he just thinks that his son has good grades and a smart mind. What's more, the shop owner is his son's biological aunt. If he doesn't want to borrow money, just give it to his nephew who can go to a key university.
The salary is low and he has to wash dishes for himself. The old man doesn't want his sister to abuse his excellent son like this. If he really takes this job, it will be difficult for all his relatives to do it in the future.
On this point, the elderly are definitely not confused.
In the end, it was Bingzi who decided to become a soldier. He felt that his name was Bingzihe and he should become a soldier. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the name his father gave him.
The death of his son is a pain that cannot be recalled for the old man. But those relatives still said such unpleasant and unpleasant things. Even if the relatives were forced to take care of him and were willing to take care of him, the old man refused.
The old man was ready to sleep in the bridge cave, but unexpectedly, he was taken to the nursing home by a beautiful girl. From then on, the old man was taken care of, and he was well fed and clothed. Compared with his previous life,
After moving in, life was really boring.
Later, the elderly learned that most of the elderly who lived in were in the same situation as themselves. This nursing home was specially built for elderly people like them. They lived in a new room, lying on the bed, covered with quilts.
Looking at the snow-white ceiling, the old man cried on the first night of his stay.
Who said that it was a wrong decision for him to send Bingzi to serve as a soldier? Who said that Bingzi deserved to die without a son to support him when he died? Who said that Bingzi's sacrifice for the country was a stupid act. Who said that Bingzi's sacrifice for the country was a foolish act.
The people have forgotten the contribution and sacrifice of his soldiers to them?
No, not at all.
Remember, there are still people who remember!
The old man felt that the care he received without asking for anything in return was an affirmation and commemoration of his son's sacrifice and contribution to the country and the people. It was a correct decision for him to agree to his son's joining the army. His relatives said
Everything you say is false and fart.
The nursing staff in the nursing home are very good at caring for people and have good attitudes. What makes the elderly happy is that from time to time some college students come to the nursing home to do voluntary work. What those college students like most is to listen to them and the elderly talk about the lives of their sacrificed children.
The thing is. Every time I see the eyes of these college students admiring their sons, the old man feels particularly comforted and proud.
His son is a hero, even if he pays the price of his life. If there is a next life, he believes that he will still make such a decision and let his son follow the same path.
The old man feels that his life in his later years is getting better and better and more enjoyable. As long as he thinks that all this is thanks to his son, and that the country and the people have not forgotten his son, the old man smiles every day.
I know that my current life is really brought to me by Qiao Nan, and the three children belong to Qiao Nan's family. The old man looks at San Bao no differently from his own grandson and granddaughter.
"Drink." Sanbao brought the water to the old man: "Grandpa, drink water, drink more water, that's good."
This sentence is what Qiao Nan often says to her three children. The original words are: Drinking more water is good for your health.
The three children are just learning to speak. After they understand the meaning of adults' words more and more, their favorite thing is to imitate what adults say and do. When they are at home, the three children are controlled by Qiao Nan.
Yes, after coming out, Sanbao straightened her short and fat waist and said that drinking water is good, and these grandparents must listen to her.
"Okay, grandpa, drink some water and you will be in good health." The old man took the cup from Sanbao's hand with great pride and took a sip. It was as if he was drinking honey water: "Ah, why is the water poured by Sanbao so good?
Drink, it’s so sweet. Sanbao, did you put sugar in the water for grandpa?”
Sanbao knew that her grandfather was praising her, so she grinned, revealing a row of neatly white millet teeth. She smiled so cutely, her red face was like an apple, and her bright smile was like the sun.
flower.
The old man looked at it and felt very hot. In the end, he just stretched out his hand and touched the small knot on Sanbao's head: "Sambo, will grandpa buy you flowers from now on?"
Sanbao nodded his head obediently, pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word. (To be continued)
