"There is only one named Liu Dawang in our Yitang Village, what are you looking for him?" the old man took the cigarette and looked us up and down.

"Recently, the Civil Affairs Bureau is going to conduct a file adjustment investigation on all the low-income people in the city, and I came to see Uncle Liu's situation, and he does not meet the conditions for being transferred from resistance to high-end. I laughed.

When Xiaoxue heard me say this, she turned her face to look at me in surprise, but she didn't say anything.

"And this matter, no one from our commune came, or your commune is in charge, I have to call and ask. The old man sighed.

"Xiao Han, we're almost resting, let's go!" I deliberately ignored the old man, and looked at Xiao Xuedao, who had returned to his normal expression.

"Good. I felt that Xiaoxue's voice was both excited and a little scared.

"I'll take you to him, or you'll have to inquire. The old man smiled enthusiastically.

"Thank you for that, what do you call uncle, where are you. I laughed

"I'm from Mengyin Township, my wife died a few years ago, and my children sent me to this place, my name is Jin Cheng," the old man said as he walked.

"Uncle Jin, why do you still come to this place when you have children?" I asked, puzzled.

"Yes and no, it's annoying when I'm old, I used to be able to live in my son's house by taking care of my little grandson, but now my grandson is in junior high school, and I'm useless, it's good that people can pay me a pension, I just miss my grandson now." The old man looked ahead with cloudy eyes and said expectantly.

"You can go and see your grandson!" Listening to what happened to the old man, the little snow trail was a little sad.

"My daughter-in-law didn't want me to go to her house, saying that I had a big smell on my body and that I could only visit my grandson when he was out of school. Old man Jin shook his head helplessly.

"Well, you're here to see him. Xiaoxue asked tentatively.

"No, I'm going to work, I'm going to the construction site to water the bricks, my grandson likes to play games, what to charge cards, as soon as I charge him some cards, he can be happy, I see my grandson happy, I am very comfortable. Old man Jin had a doting look on his face.

"I was smashed in the last few days, I haven't been there for half a month, this is not better, I am going to go there, give my grandson more cards. Old man Jin said with a happy face.

Xiaoxue and I looked at each other, and we both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Old Jin, why are you back again, didn't you go to the construction site to pour bricks?" a doorman in his forties shouted unceremoniously to Old Man Jin.

"There are two people from the Jinbao Town Civil Affairs Office, who came to see Da Lao Liu, saying that they were investigating the matter of subsistence allowance, and they didn't know where Da Lao Liu lived, so I brought them over. Old man Jin smiled politely and let us out at the same time.

"Then please register!" the doorman was polite when he heard that we were from the public family.

I wrote my name and that of Xiaoxue. Of course, I made up a pseudonym.

"Thank you, Uncle Jin, I haven't drunk this iced tea yet, you can take it and drink it!" I handed over a bottle of iced tea.

"Thank you, where can I ask for anything from your father-in-law. The old man hurriedly refused.

"Take it, we all have travel allowances. "I shoved the iced tea into the old man's hand.

The old man accepted it and led us into this nursing home.

The environment of this place is still good, there are several big locust trees planted in the yard, and there are stone tables and stone chairs below, and some old people sit under them to enjoy the shade. The entire yard is covered with cement, and shrubs, flowers, and some gym equipment are planted throughout.

We walked to the accommodation building, and as soon as I entered it, I smelled a very strong smell, the same as the smell emanating from the elderly, and I saw Xiaoxue frowning and subconsciously touched her nose.

Old man Jin took us up to the third floor, and as we were walking down the corridor, we suddenly heard a noise coming from a room.

"You bastard, we'll give you two dollars to buy a watermelon, look at what you bought, it's all rotten, can you eat it? An old man scolded.

"your grandma, say that everyone will share the money to buy a watermelon to eat, the three of you will pay three yuan each, and I will buy two yuan, but I spent four yuan myself, not to mention the errands, and I also took a dollar, you still dislike watermelon is not good, less than ten yuan to buy, what watermelon do you want to eat." An old man yelled with the same anger.

"You are an old immortal, you must have taken money from your eyes, your conscience is so bad, no wonder your children don't support you. The old man shouted earlier.

The phrase "you TM ......" seemed to touch the old man's scales, and the old man opened his mouth to scold.

"Okay, okay, just a watermelon, don't make any noise, if the administrator comes, no one will feel good. "An old man seems to want to calm things down.

"What can the administrator do when he comes, he also slaps this old thing. The old man said at the beginning.

"Beat me, beat you, confine you up, and you're not a good thing, did you steal my sugar, the sugar in my sugar jar is a little less. The old man who bought the watermelon shouted.

"Lao Liu, you can't catch anyone and bite whom!" said the old man who wanted to calm things down.

"None of you are good things, I will burn you all to death that day," the old man yelled angrily and threatened.

"If you don't burn it, you will go to the crematorium, Lao Liu will put out the fire, and the people from your commune civil affairs office will come to see you. "Jin Lao led us into this room at the top of the staircase.

When the people in the house saw us at the door, they immediately stopped talking.

I looked at Xiaoxue, whose face was a little pale and obviously a little scared, and took the lead and walked in. I saw three old men sitting in the room, and another old man lying on the bed, holding a rosary in his hand, and his mouth kept moving, as if he was chanting scriptures.

"May I ask who is Liu Dawang. I laughed.

"I'm, you're from the Commune? I haven't seen you before. "An old man in a torn vest, green trousers, and a pair of torn slippers on his feet, with a look of age spots, asked us.

"We've just separated. I laughed.

"Hello, please sit down, I'll cut a watermelon for you. When Lao Liu heard me say this, he immediately said with a smile.

I looked at the watermelons on the broken cupboard, and they were all rotten, and I was disgusted to look at.

"You can't eat this broken watermelon, Lao He, this is six yuan, you go and buy a drink for the two comrades and come back, you have to bring ice." Lao Liu ordered to another old man.

"Six dollars is enough! The shop downstairs has five dollars a bottle. Lao He muttered.

"You don't go out there and buy it. Lao Liu glared at Lao He.

"I went out to buy it, and the administrator should scold me again. Old He muttered and walked out.

"No need, Uncle Liu, let's ask a few questions and leave. Xiao Xue, who had not spoken, hurriedly stopped Lao He.

"Then what's the matter! I'll go to the store downstairs to buy it," Lao Liu trembled and wanted to pay again.

"It's okay, we've all drunk water outside. Xiaoxue hurriedly waved her hand.

"Then drink some hot water!" Lao Liu took out his own cup, and another person's cup, carefully pulled out some white sugar from a glass jar, put it in the cup, and poured hot water.

"You talk, let's go out for a yo-yo. Lao He picked up the one lying on the bed and walked out.

"Uncle Liu, how is this place?" Xiao Xue asked after watching everyone go out, stabilizing her emotions

"No, if I didn't really have a place to live, I wouldn't be living here. Lao Liu said with a look of disgust.

"I think it's okay, but it's better at home. Xiaoxue said with a smile.

"Yes, the family is the best, even if you are blinded by others, as long as you give you food, it's good to be able to live!"

"How many years have you been here?" asked Xiaoxue.

"It's been three years, and I've sent away batch after batch of people, and when I first arrived, I used to run home, standing under my house and looking at the small room where I used to live, watching it turn on the lights, watching it turn off.

Thinking about my creaking boss bed, and the handful of daffodils I had raised for a few years, which my wife picked up when she was alive, and I didn't hold it when I left, I thought about when my son might think I was useful and let me go back, hehe! I didn't expect that this trip would be three years. Lao Liu smiled and sighed, with a face of vicissitudes, and his wrinkled skin seemed to be full of sad tears.

I inquired with Xiaoxue for more than two hours, to see that the time was almost up, and I didn't dare to stay longer, I left 300 yuan for the old man, saying that it was a temporary relief fund issued by the civil administration, and walked out of the nursing home in the old man's continuous thanks.

"Brother Shen, this place is terrible, it's completely different from what I imagined, how do I feel like this place is like a hell that consumes humanity. Xiaoxue said with a heavy face.

"It's okay, I once read a report that in a foreign nursing home, some nurses killed some lonely elderly people who had no children and no daughters and could not take care of themselves in order to get compensation. "I'm on an electric donkey, and I'm going to start.

"How did you kill me? Xiaoxue also sat up and asked with a frown.

"In the winter, I took them out to breathe, and when I got a cold, I wiped them with cold water, and then they died. I laughed, as if I was talking not about a life, but about the death of a cat or a dog.

"It's just inhumane, no one cares!" Xiaoxue said angrily with surprise.

"Who cares, human nature, whether it is Chinese or foreign, is the same, no one wants to serve people who are lying in bed, only know how to eat and. I laughed.

"But the government doesn't care? That's murder. ”

"It's murder, but there is no evidence, is it wrong for the nurse to take the old man out to breathe and help the old man wipe his body contaminated with excrement?" I asked, looking at Xiaoxue.

"But that's a foreign government. Xiaoxue said subconsciously.

"Haha, when you talk about foreign governments, you mean the developed countries of Europe and the United States! The world is as black as a crow, and when it comes to prevarication, more things are better than less, and officials in the world have figured it out, and as long as no one makes trouble, the bureaucrats of any country will not bother to take care of this kind of thing. I laughed.

"Hey! After listening to Lao Liu's words, I don't want to investigate anymore, and if I continue to investigate, I feel that my outlook on life will be subverted. Xiaoxue said with a blank face.

"It's good to get used to it, there are more miserable than them, and they are at least alive and well while they can still move. I smiled.

For those old people's experience, I just listened, there are many people when they are young who say that they are not afraid that their children will not support themselves, it is a big deal to enter a nursing home, and then they can't take medicine and die, but when it really comes to that part, there are a few people who die, all want to live, this life has to go on, I don't have time, I don't have the mood to pity people.

"The world is so scary, I really want to be in school forever. Xiaoxue shook her head and asked.

"Haha, then you can take the teacher's test. I laughed.

"I want to, too, but it's quite competitive. Xiaoxue said seriously.

"Do you want to look elsewhere?" I asked.

"If you don't go, this one is enough, you are too bold, you actually pretend to be a government officer, what should you do if someone debunks?" Although Xiaoxue said this, there was a sense of excitement on her face that a child stealing candy and not being found out by someone beating.

"Isn't this debunked? I laughed.

"You don't often lie to people. Xiaoxue tilted her head sideways and looked at me with a little annoyance.

"I'm a businessman and I'm honest. I said solemnly.

"It's right to be honest and not to be a businessman. Xiaoxue sneered at me.

"That's not called rape, but wisdom, shopping malls are like battlefields, without two hits, they would have been destroyed a long time ago. I laughed.

"Also, you don't have the ability to make money. Xiaoxue also nodded, agreeing with my idea.

The car drove slowly, and Xiaoxue and I didn't talk for a while, and I felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
