This atmosphere, this environment, is much stronger than the black-hearted welfare home just now! After entering, a dean greeted them, and after greeting them, he took them to see the elderly.

The old people here are generally in their sixties and seventies, and although they are dressed modestly, they look very kind, and they chat with each other in groups of three or five, probably playing mahjong or cards, or chess.

There are also people who may not be feeling well, so they are lying there.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at it, and there was steaming hot water on the table, which showed that the old man was not left unattended.

Smell the smell here again and find that there is no obvious odor.

They greeted each other before they came, but because the itinerary was urgent and the time was limited, the other party could only hurry up even if they were prepared, at most they could pack up their things and clean up, but it was impossible to take care of the details.

It looks good now, it should be really good, not a temporary disguise.

"Dean Song, is there anything we can help with?" Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward and asked.

"Although we are not rich here, we do not lack anything, we have all the daily necessities that we should have, and there are people to do the work that we should do, so there is nothing to do. Dean Song is in his early fifties and is an uncle with deep laugh lines, "It's just that they are old, although everyone lives together here, it is inevitable that they are lonely and boring, and sometimes they still want to talk to young people, since you are here, let's chat with them." ”

"Yes, we are all old, sunset, what I want to see most is your young faces, and when I see it, I feel that I have become younger. An old man who was playing chess turned around happily.

"Well, isn't it? I don't see my own children all year round, and I feel very close to them when I see someone their age. ”

Someone chimed in.

When I came, the program team bought some daily necessities, and when I came, I gave them out to everyone first, and some old people held thick scarves in their hands, stroking and sighing, "The scarf is getting warmer and more comfortable now, which is like what my wife used to give me, although it is thick, but how can it be so soft?"

As he spoke, he took out a dark blue handmade woolen scarf from under his pillow, which looked hand-knitted.

He stroked the scarf gently, his eyes distant, as if he could see someone through it.

"Uncle Zhang's wife left the year before last. ”

Dean Song explained softly to everyone.

"Ahem......"

An old man on the bed coughed softly.

Jiang Xiaobai stood closest to him, and after hearing the sound, he picked up the water cup on the table and walked towards him, "Grandpa, drink some water, be careful of scalding." ”

"Alas, thank you. ”

The old man's face was not very good, he should have suffered from the wind cold, and he was a little weak when he got up.

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly leaned over to help him, he smiled when he saw this, and was about to shake his head and refuse.

This young girl looked delicate and weak, and her body was stiff like something, but she couldn't help it.

But just as he thought this, he felt his body lighten, and then he sat up.

Old man:??

Is this girl a little stronger?

"You drink water. ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and handed over the water.

"Lao Wang, you can pay attention to your body, you see, you can't play mahjong when you're sick, isn't it very greedy to see us play?"

"It's useless when I'm old, just stand by the window for a few minutes and catch a cold, which is like when I was young, I can carry the winter with a single coat, at that time I have a lot of strength, I don't feel cold at all, and I don't feel tired no matter how much work I do. Lao Wang shook his head and sighed, and drank the water in small sips.

"I always wonder what it used to be, we can't do it now, but our children are still young, and I am very happy to see them full of energy. An old man smiled.

"That's, they're the new rising sun, like our broken candles. Lao Wang said.

Jing Chen didn't seem to have any experience in dealing with old people, he had always felt a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do or say, just stood straight and listened to them very carefully.

But when he heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Well, since you have children, why do you still live here?"

Could it be that the child is not filial and does not want to support his parents?

Thinking of this, Jing Chen's eyes showed sympathy.

"The children are busy, they have finally finished many years of school, and they can work and enter the society, it is the time of busy and stressful, how can we add burden to them?" an old man smiled, "and it is boring to stay at home alone, it is better to live in a nursing home, there are old partners, and someone to take care of, we live comfortably, and the children can rest assured to fight." ”

"Yes, I mentioned living here, and the child was very reluctant at the time, but I still insisted on coming. ”

An old man who was playing cards spoke up, "He was filial and took me to the big city, but I am not familiar with my life, I don't even have someone to talk to, he and his daughter-in-law are tired from work, and they have to talk to me every day, serve my food and clothing, I have to take turns to take leave to take care of me when I am sick, and now it is not easy for young people in this society, I have a pension and my health is healthy, why bother to add trouble to my children?"

"The one in my family is not angry, but I don't have a child to expect them to provide for me, as long as I can send him to the end, it is not for nothing. An old man said lightly.

"What is the purpose of having a baby?" Jing Chen couldn't help but ask his confusion.

"I have a child because I want to add some color to my family, I want to add a touch of hope to my hard life, and I also want to have a continuation of life, so that I can bring a new life to open my eyes and see this colorful world. ”

The old man said, "He is not angry, but I do not regret giving birth to him, and it is my business to bring him here, but what kind of life he lives depends on himself." ”

"Yes, there are sufferings in this world, but there are also beauty, and it is not in vain to have the opportunity to go through it. Someone nodded.

"To be honest, my wife and I regretted it after giving birth to our daughter, it was quite easy when we were two, but it was completely different when we had children, there was not enough money, not enough food, and she loved to cry at that time, crying people were dizzy, we couldn't even sleep well, and we went to work with dark circles every day. ”

An old man came over, sat down next to him, and recalled the past, "It's not easy to make money, it's not easy to raise a child, I had to move a lot of bricks in order to buy her an extra piece of clothing, and I couldn't straighten my waist when I was tired. ”
