【530】An old man who was targeted by fate and had a rough life
Seeing the old man's appearance, Li Bu and the others looked puzzled.
At the same time, I was also very confused about what this old man was looking for, or who she was looking for.
As if seeing Li Bu's confusion, the old man smiled apologetically and walked back to where she was with a disappointed look on her face; "It's not like our Xiao Cui is back. When will my Xiao Cui be back?"
Ah, it’s almost the Chinese New Year, and I’ve prepared a lot of things that our little Cui likes to eat.”
After hearing what the old man said, Li Bu immediately looked at the foundation staff with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to answer him... what was going on.
Seeing the look in Li Bu's eyes, the staff of the foundation quickly took Li Bu aside, and then explained helplessly, "This old man is the target of our visit this time. She is ninety-seven years old this year."
, and the reason why she has been at the entrance of the village is because she is waiting for someone to come back.
The old man's name is Ren Cuihua. Her ancestral home is Yulin, Guangxi. She was born into a wealthy family in the past. She was what was called at that time...a child of a landlord.
It must have been more than seventy years ago. At that time, due to family changes, something happened to their family, which caused her to leave her hometown. Her second marriage was to Li Zaitian, a farmer here.
After marrying here, she gave birth to five children to Li Zai. However, due to the poverty of her family at the time, she could only support two of the five children. The remaining three were all in their early teens due to illness.
But they died in infancy, and the two babies grew up, one was a girl and the other was a boy.
When the girl grew up, she got married and went to the island. Maybe because of the inconvenient transportation at that time, the marriage was immediately discontinued and there was no contact. It is not known whether there is anyone there now.
After Nvwa lost contact with her, she continued to live with his son. His son's name was Li Guitian. Later, he married her a daughter-in-law and gave birth to five children. Also for some reasons, she only raised five children.
Two were born, and three died before they grew up. The ones that grew up were also a girl and a boy.
When these two babies grew up, one of them married to Sichuan, and she was also the type who never came back. I heard that she only came back once every ten years after getting married. Later, because of illness, the girl was three years old.
After having a baby, he died of illness there early, and contact there was completely cut off.
The remaining boy is the grandson of the old man. This grandson is not very smart. He found a wife with a bad brain when he was in his thirties, and then gave birth to five children. However, the last surviving one is still a girl.
A boy.
Then a few years after the two children were born, the family began to suffer great disasters. First, the old man's wife got old and left, then the old man's son got old again, then the old man's grandson also left, and the old man's daughter-in-law also left.
Gone.
All of a sudden, there are only four people left in the family, an eighty-five-year-old man who is quite hardworking, a granddaughter-in-law with a bad brain, and two little kids who are only four or five years old. This family is suddenly in ruins.
Home.
But there was no choice. Even though this was the case, the old man still gritted his teeth in order to continue the family bloodline and worked alone to support her mentally retarded grandson-in-law and great-grandson.
As for her great-granddaughter, she really couldn't feed her anymore. She was always sick and refused to eat, so she sent her out to be adopted by others.
It's just that sometimes fate is really very personal. The old man and his family were all like this, but God still brought another hardship to her. When her mentally retarded grandson-in-law went out to work with her, she saw
There was some fruit to eat on the edge of the cliff, so I went over to pick it.
Everyone knows that people with weak brains have no sense of crisis at all, so her mentally retarded granddaughter-in-law fell down, and in the end even her body was not found."
Halfway through speaking, Li Bu's eyes were already red, and the foundation employee who was speaking had tears streaming down his face, and even his words became Guipu.
After handing the tissue to the foundation employee, Li Bu took a bottle of water from Li Xiaomu and handed it to him, asking him to drink the water before continuing.
The foundation employees were not pretentious. After wiping their tears and drinking water, they continued to speak in a hoarse voice; "After the death of my grandson-in-law, the old man continued to raise her great-grandson alone.
She grew sweet potatoes, rice, raised mandarin fish, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks and geese by herself, and returned from sunrise to sunset every day. She worked hard to raise her great-grandson.
She sent her great-grandson to go to college.
When she was studying outside, when she was in junior high school, her great-grandson would come back once a week to spend a day with her. When she was in high school, her great-grandson would come back once a month to spend a day with her. When she was in college, her great-grandson would come back every winter vacation.
I came back to stay with her for more than a month.
After graduating from college, her great-grandson would come over to spend the New Year with her every year, and every time her great-grandson came back, she would wait for him at this intersection.
But her great-grandson's fate was also very rough. Three years ago, she ran to save a child who fell into the water. As a result, the current was too strong, and the child and her great-grandson were both gone.
Her great-grandson was gone, and no one dared to tell her because she was already ninety-four at the time and they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it. Later, as no other option could be found, the government tried to arrange for her to go to a nursing home, but she refused to go.
Whenever someone asks her to go to a nursing home, she will scold them, and in severe cases, she will beat them with a stick. In addition, she always says that she is not old yet, she can still work and make money, and she has saved tens of thousands, which is enough for her.
The great-grandson has a wife.
For the past three years, she has been waiting here, day after day, year after year, whenever there is a festival. Maybe it is because she has not waited for her great-grandson to come back. The old man has aged a bit fast in the past three years.
Now he is too old to recognize people very well.
But this old man is really working hard. Now even though she is too old to recognize people and can't see clearly, she still insists on farming and raising pigs.
And in her words, her great-grandson hasn’t married yet. He has no parents and the only relative is me. If I don’t save his wife’s book, who will save it for him!!”
After saying that, the foundation employee immediately lost his voice; "Oh, oh, boss, why does God like to target people so much sometimes? Why can't fate treat this old man kindly?"
She has worked hard all her life to raise four generations of people, and all four generations have passed away, leaving her alone in this world. Sometimes fate is really a piece of shit!!"
"You go to the next village first. I'll take care of this old man. It's enough for me, Xiao Xiaobu, and Li Ranran. You go to the next village first. When you're done and you're going down the mountain, remember to come back and pick him up."
That's me." After listening to the old man's story, Li Bu was ready to do something for her, even if it was a little white lie, he didn't mind.
At the same time, Li Bu also felt that fate was too bad for this old man, too specific to her, and her life was too bitter.
So he should help her, add a spoonful of honey to her bitter life, and make it sweet for her.
Even if this honey may be fake, made from white sugar or saccharin, that's fine.
