With Jack's fine outfit, he can buy a house of several square meters in a luxurious area in the provincial capital, which shows that this old man is really rich.
Such a wealthy old man lives in a rural area and is somewhat out of tune with the entire village.
"Are you the owner of the villa opposite?"
The old man looked Liang Fei up and down with a puzzled look on his face. After all, Liang Fei was only twenty-one years old, but he had opened a huge farm at such an age. The old man couldn't believe it.
Liang Fei nodded heavily: "Yes, my farm has been operating here for a year or two, but I haven't seen you much?"
This is what Liang Fei is confused about. He has stayed in the villa for a long time, and not only has he never seen this old man, but he has also never heard of him.
Logically speaking, such a wealthy old man should be well-known in the village. Why has no one talked about him?
"I have been away from home, and I have only come back in the past year. I am old and ill, and I want to return to my roots, so I came back."
The old man said very calmly. Just now Liang Fei checked his pulse. The old man had severe diabetes. In fact, diabetes is not terrible. What is terrible are the complications caused in the later stages.
There was an old man in his hometown who also suffered from severe diabetes. When the old man finally left, his legs were rotten to the point of disgrace, his eyes were blind, and he was skinny and skinny. His final end was very bad.
It seems that the old man also knew about his illness, so he returned to his hometown.
"Why do you go out alone? Where is your family?"
Liang Fei drove the car and chatted with the old man.
Jack seems a bit cold and aloof, giving people the impression that it is difficult to get in touch with him. However, after getting to know him well, I discovered that he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is quite talkative.
"No more, all dead."
The old man had a smile on his face just now, but when he talked about his family, he suddenly said this.
Liang Fei was embarrassed and was busy apologizing.
"Jack, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I really didn't, I didn't..."
Liang Fei was afraid that he would hurt the old man, and felt guilty in his heart.
Jack smiled knowingly, he had accepted it all calmly.
"It's okay. They were already dead and I was the only one left. I have nothing to apologize for."
The old man said with a helpless smile.
Although he said this, in his heart, he still cared about his family.
Liang Fei said nothing more. The old man looked at Liang Fei with a kind smile on his face.
"Young man, how old are you this year?"
"I'm 21." Liang Fei answered obediently.
The same smile as before appeared on the old man's face again: "You are as old as my daughter. If my daughter were still here, she would be in college by now. My daughter is a big beauty. I don't know how many boys like her."
When the old man mentioned his daughter, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and there was something sparkling in his eyes.
Liang Fei drove the car seriously, not daring to respond to the old man or touch the pain in his heart.
Liang Fei has experienced the death of his family before. When his grandfather left when he was a child, Liang Fei cried so hard that he couldn't breathe. Sometimes when he was walking outside and heard other children calling him grandpa, he would burst into tears.
Liu, inexplicably thought of grandpa's kind face.
The pain of losing a loved one can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
Liang Fei couldn't imagine how the old man went through all this.
In his old age, his health is still not good, but he faces all this alone.
"Jack, your home is here. Our farm is right across the street. There are all kinds of delicious vegetables. If you need it, you can go to my place to pick it. I don't charge you any money. It's all free."
Liang Fei saw how pitiful Jack was and wanted to help him.
Jack shrugged: "I'm an old man and I don't know how to cook. Even if I go to pick vegetables from you, I won't cook them."
"You can't cook? What do you eat every day?"
Liang Fei is a grown man, but he is overflowing with compassion and inexplicably wants to care about this old man.
"I went out to eat. Like just now, I went to the town. It's 20 kilometers away from the town. It's only a short drive away."
"It's too dangerous for you to drive out like this every day. Why not do this? Our farm has its own canteen, and the food is pretty good. If you don't mind, you can come to our farm to eat every day. As for the cost, we'll charge you half the price. What do you think?
?”
Liang Fei could see that the old man was a face-saving person, and Liang Fei didn't want to hurt the old man's self-esteem, so he mentioned the fee.
A smile appeared on the old man's face. The problem of eating has been a problem that has troubled him for a year.
There was no restaurant in the village, only a snack bar, but the store was so slovenly that he couldn't eat. He had no choice but to go to the town.
Sometimes when the weather was bad, with heavy rain or fog, he would have no choice but to stay at home and starve.
Because I haven't been back to my hometown for many years, my relationship with the people in the village is not very good. Although the old man is old, he loves to be clean. He doesn't like others to come to his home as customers, and he doesn't like to go to other people's homes.
Sometimes the neighbors nearby would give him some food because they felt sorry for him.
But Jack didn't understand human relationships. After staying outside for too long, his temper became cold and he didn't know much about contact with the villagers.
When he sees the food given by the villagers, he will be a little disgusted, will call it dirty on the spot, and say that he will never eat such food.
As time passed, the villagers did not like to have contact with him.
It has only been a year since he came to the village, but he has already severed ties with everyone in the village and is alone every day.
Liang Fei really couldn't imagine that if the old man suddenly died at home one day, no one might find out. Such a person is both pitiful and hateful.
Although the old man agreed, he still asked to see Liang Fei's canteen first. If the canteen was clean, he would choose to eat on the farm, and he would not be given less money for the meal. If the canteen was not clean, no matter how much money he was given, he would
I won't stay to eat,
This was the first time Liang Fei saw an old man with such a strong personality.
Although Jack has lived opposite for a year, he has never been to the farm. He did not expect that the environment here is so good.
The canteen is also very clean. Liang Fei attaches great importance to food, especially the food of the workers.
Anyone who works in Xianhu Villa can have three meals a day here. The meals they eat are also a combination of meat and vegetables. The vegetables will be picked on the farm, and the meat will be wholesaled at the farmer's market in the town. In short, the workers will eat everything.
It's the best food.
When Jack saw such a clean and hygienic canteen, he decided to apply for a meal card on the spot.
Jack was a man with strong self-esteem, so Liang Fei could not refuse him, so he had to agree and let Jack pay two hundred yuan a month for food, and he could have three meals a day.
It has been a year since the old man came to the countryside. It is the first time he has eaten such a delicious meal. It is also the first time he is full. It is also the first time he has smiled so happily. (To be continued)
