Chapter Ninety-Three: Supporting the Elderly
Rose and Lin Feng both got out of the van, and the two of them came to the old man's side to take a look, and it turned out to be a wrinkled old grandmother.
Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Grandma, you are so old, how unsafe it is to cross the road alone!"
Rose also held the other arm of the old woman, and helped the old man to the other side of the road with Lin Feng.
The old grandmother said: "Thank you two kind people, I am an old woman, lonely and alone, just now I went to the opposite side to see if there are any bottles in the garbage basket or something?"
Lin Feng listened to the old lady, knowing that the old lady was a waste picker, Lin Feng saw that the old lady was very old and very pitiful, went back to the car and took a bread and a bottle of mineral water, came back and handed it to the old lady and said, "Grandma, this bread and mineral water are for you, you can eat something." β
The old lady took Lin Feng's bread and mineral water, and immediately devoured it.
Rose was also very sad to watch from the sidelines, and Rose said, "Grandma, how long have you not eaten? β
The old lady said, "I haven't eaten for a day, and this bread is so delicious!"
After Lin Feng heard the old lady's words, his nose was sore, and tears almost flowed, Lin Feng said: "Grandma, do you live alone? Don't you have any children and relatives?"
The old woman said while eating bread, "I have no sons, no daughters, and my wife is dead. β
Lin Feng said: "You are so old, no one can take care of you, how do you survive?"
The old lady said: "I just picked up some bottles and cans to buy some steamed buns and pickles to spend the day." β
Lin Feng felt very sad when he heard this, so he said to the old lady: "Grandma, where do you live? I'll send you back!"
The old lady said, "I live in a small house not far from the front. β
Lin Feng looked at Rose and said, "Rose, you see that this old woman is also quite pitiful, let's send her home first." β
Rose nodded and said, "Okay." β
Under the guidance of the old lady, Lin Feng and Rose helped the old lady to the old lady's house, Lin Feng saw that this home was too simple, right? It was a shack built not far from the bottom of the road, and when I entered the house, I saw that there was a living room and an outhouse for cooking.
There was no furniture in the room, only a wooden bed, and the bedding on it had not been washed for a long time, and it was very dirty, and there was a broken cabinet next to the bed.
Rose frowned and said, "Can such an environment also live in people?"
"I've been living here for 10 years," the old lady said. β
Lei Feng saw that the old lady did not have a single household appliance in the house, and he did not see a place where rice and noodles were stored, Lin Feng came to the pot table in the outhouse again, opened the lid of the pot and looked inside, there were still some leftovers in the pot, Lin Feng raised his nose and smelled it, and the dishes in the pot emitted a sour smell.
Lin Feng said: "Grandma, the leftovers in this pot are all smelly, you can't eat them, I'll help you throw them out!"
The old woman said, "Don't pour it, I can still eat it when I don't have it." β
Hearing the old grandmother say such words, Lin Feng couldn't control his emotions anymore, tears had already flowed out of his eyes, Lin Feng said: "Grandma, this thing is really inedible, if you eat it, it will get sick." β
The old grandmother was very distressed when she saw Lin Feng pour out the dishes in the pot that had changed their taste, and said, "Although the taste of the dishes has changed, I can still eat a meal when I don't eat it." β
Lin Feng said: "Grandma, you are so pitiful, you are reluctant to throw away such a spoiled thing, it is really worrying to see it, you wait here first, I will go back with Rose to buy you some food, and then send it to you." β
Lin Feng took Rose's hand and said, "Rose, the two of us will go back first to get some food and daily necessities for the old grandmother." β
Rose followed behind Lin Feng and left the old grandmother's house. After the two of them came to the van and got into the car, Lin Feng said: "Rose, look how pitiful this old woman is, at a very old age, living alone in such a simple house, no one takes care of her, what do you see he eats? The two of us went to the supermarket to buy some food for my grandmother first, and then bought some daily necessities. β
Rose said: "Brother, in addition to spending 21,000 yuan on the car today, the remaining money is more than 19,000 yuan, I agree with your approach, let's go to the supermarket to buy some food for the grandmother first, and then buy him a single bed and an electric fan, and then buy a refrigerator." β
Lin Feng said: "Okay, the roses will be as you said, and we will start purchasing them now." β
When Rose and Lin Feng came out of the supermarket, the two of them carried a bag on the left, and the right bag was full, and the two of them put the things they bought into the van and went to the vegetable market to buy some pork, fish and vegetables, and put them in the car, Rose drove the car, pulled Lin Feng to the place where the furniture was sold, and bought a folding single bed, after buying the bed, Lin Feng and Rose came to the place where the electricity was sold, and bought an LCD TV for the grandmother in the home appliance mall, bought a rice cooker, bought a refrigerator, and bought a washing machine and an electric fanγ
Lin Feng saw that it was almost there, and said, "Rose, the things are almost bought, let's go back." β
Rose and Lin Feng drove to the grandmother's house, after Lin Feng got out of the car, he entered the house with the food he bought in one hand and the newly bought rice cooker in the other, the grandmother was not there, Lin Feng saw that the grandmother was not at home and put everything down and said to the rose: "Rose, the grandmother is not at home and goes out alone, the two of us go to find the grandmother." β
After Lin Feng and Rose came out, they began to look for them along the way, but they didn't find them for a long time, and finally Lin Feng and Rose walked forward for a while, and suddenly Rose said: "Brother, you see that there is a person in the trash can in front of you who seems to be an old grandmother." β
Lin Feng looked up and saw that there was a person in a trash can not far in front of him who was rummaging through the garbage, Lin Feng and Rose walked quickly to the side of that person, Lin Feng saw that this person was the old grandmother, the old grandmother was rummaging in the trash can, and saw a steamed bun thrown by others, this steamed bun was moldy, and there were flies on it, the old grandmother stretched out her skinny hand and took this steamed bun and was about to send it to her mouth, Lin Feng hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the old woman's steamed bun as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then threw it away and said: " Grandma, this steamed bun is too bad to eat. β
The old grandmother looked up and saw that it was Lin Feng and said: "It turned out to be a kind person, I didn't want to drag you down so I came out to find something to eat by myself, this steamed bun can still be eaten, it's a pity to throw it away." β
After the old grandmother finished speaking, she bent down and was about to pick up the steamed bun that had fallen on the ground and was hit by flies, Lin Feng helped the old woman up and said: "Grandma, this steamed bun can't be eaten, what are you going to pick it up for, let's go back, I bought you something to eat, hurry up and go back with us." β
Rose also came over to help Lin Feng help the grandmother out of the trash can, and the two of them helped the grandmother back to the grandmother's house, Lin Feng first gave the grandmother a basin of water, and the rose helped the grandmother wash her face and hands, and helped the grandmother to sit down on the stone outside. Rose brought the newly bought bread and mineral water in the car and handed them to the grandmother.
Lin Feng said: "Grandma, you sit there and rest for a while, eat a bread, I bought you a lot of food with Rose, enough for you to eat for a while, I see that your bed is too broken, we bought you a new bed and household appliances, I will help you settle down with Rose now." β
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he and Rose began to move out the broken bed of the old grandmother's house, and then took a broom and a poke to clean the house, Lin Feng moved the folding bed in, and then made the folding bed in the original bed, Lin Feng brought fresh bedding from the car and spread it on the bed, and laid a mat on the top, Lin Feng brought a mosquito net after laying it out, Lin Feng and Rose put the mosquito net on the bed, Lin Feng and Rose said: "Rose, let's go and bring the refrigerator, washing machine and TV in." β
Rose don't look long and thin, the work is not ambiguous at all, Rose and Lin Feng brought the refrigerator in, put it on the power supply, put the washing machine in the kitchen, Lin Feng also hung the LCD TV on the wall, Lin Feng took out the satellite dish in the car and installed it on the roof of the grandmother's house, and then made a hole in the wall to bring in the antenna through the hole, and then connected it to the TV. Lin Feng took the remote control to set the signal, and then turned it on, now it is CCTV broadcasting the news. Lin Feng took the remote control over and taught the grandmother how to adjust the channel, and the grandmother was also very happy to see the picture of the TV.
Lin Feng said: "Grandma, you can watch whichever station you like, press the up and down arrows to adjust the station, all satellite TV stations across the country are available and are free, you don't need to make money, you don't have to spare me to teach you the electricity bill, you just watch it, I'll go and bring in all the things I bought for you." β
After Lin Feng finished explaining, he went out to the van to get something, and the rose also helped to take it, and the refrigerator was full, there were eggs, half a watermelon, carp, hairtail fish and pork, and there were fresh vegetables, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes in the refrigeration above, Lin Feng put the bags of dried noodles he bought on the old cabinet in the house, and told the old grandmother that when he didn't like to cook, he would cook the noodles and eat them, and there were vegetables, fish, meat, and eggs in the refrigerator, and finally Lin Feng moved in two cartons of milk and brought a bag to the old grandmother for the old grandmother to drink.
Lin Feng brought in the two bags of rice, one bag of white noodles, and two barrels of salad oil that he bought, and Lin Feng turned on the electric fan as well, and asked the old man if he was cool. Lin Feng took out the screen window he bought and installed the screen window for the old man, and also hung the door curtain, Lin Feng said: "Auntie, this time there will not be so many mosquitoes with the screen window and door curtain, you can sleep peacefully by putting the mosquito net back at night, you can watch TV first, and I will cook for you." β
Lin Feng put the rice into the rice cooker, and then went to cook, Rose didn't feel dirty and filled the cauldron with firewood and lit it with a lighter, Lin Feng put the cut meat and vegetables into the pot and fried it, Lin Feng was still the first time to cook after the injury, Lin Feng made four dishes today, one stewed carp, one fried cowpea with meat, one scrambled eggs with wine and vegetables, and one fried fungus with meat.

The old grandmother cried after a few bites and said, "You two children are so good, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal in ten years." β
