Chapter 160: Honorable Old Man

"My granddaughter will take it!" said the old man. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your granddaughter?

Ye Rongrong said with a somewhat unsightly face.

asked an old man of ancient age to come out to beg, and specially made a plastic bowl with a QR code for the old man, and all the money from the begging belonged to her.

What an unfilial piety!

"Filial piety comes first", Ye Rongrong is very fond of this "filial piety", especially after losing his parents, Ye Rongrong regretted that when his parents were alive, he did not filial piety to them well, and let them worry about themselves.

This sudden appearance of having a family and letting such an old man come out to beg made Ye Rongrong feel very uncomfortable.

"It's not that she asked me to come out to beg, it's that I want to come out to beg myself, I'm so old, I can't do heavy work or light work, except begging to earn some money to live, there is no other way. ”

The old man understood that Ye Rongrong had misunderstood, so he explained.

"What about your sons and daughters?"

Liu Jingqing asked suspiciously.

According to the age of this old man, it should be a family of four generations, and there should be many children and grandchildren.

"Gone, all gone, leaving a little granddaughter behind. ”

The old man shook his head and said with some sadness.

It turned out that the old man's man died early, so he left her a son, who married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a grandson, and later a granddaughter.

was originally a very happy family, and the children and grandchildren were very filial, but a car accident killed the son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, leaving the little granddaughter who was less than five years old to depend on each other.

Because the main responsibility for the car accident lies with the old man's son, the old man not only received compensation, but also compensated the other party a lot of money.

Let the family who is not rich in the first place lose the money by selling the house.

The old man and her granddaughter also had to live in a dilapidated shack, and the old man relied on picking up scraps to provide for her young granddaughter's education.

It's just that as they get older, the old people can't pick up the rags.

But life has to go on, and it costs money for my granddaughter to study.

Although there is a subsidy of more than 200 yuan per month for poor households in the village, the current price, 200 yuan, is simply not enough to live.

Especially when my granddaughter is in her third year of junior high school and is about to enter high school, it costs a lot of money, and the desperate old man can only earn some money by begging.

"Gone?"

Liu Jingqing didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words.

"It's the meaning of passing away!"

Ye Rongrong explained to Liu Jingqing.

In many rural villages in Yangping County, when a family member has passed away, it will not say that they are dead, but that they are gone.

"Ah......h

Liu Jingqing was a little surprised, after all, it was very painful for this white-haired person to send a black-haired person, this old man was really pitiful, Liu Jingqing was moved by compassion.

"Old man, I'll send you a red envelope!"

Liu Jingqing took his mobile phone, scanned the QR code on the plastic bowl in the old man's hand, and sent a red envelope of 500 yuan.

"Thank you!"

The old man didn't know how much Liu Jingqing would tell him, but according to the old man's previous experience, most of them would be one or two yuan, and of course there were also well-wishers who sent ten or twenty yuan.

In the old man's opinion, this beautiful girl may give herself so much money.

"Old man, don't leave yet. ”

Seeing that the old man was leaving, Ye Rongrong immediately said.

"Something?"

The old man looked at Ye Rongrong suspiciously and asked.

"How old is your granddaughter?"

Ye Rongrong asked.

If the old man's granddaughters are all adults and already have a stable job, Ye Rongrong wants to find her and say, let such an old man come out to beg and earn money, she has a good conscience.

If the old man's granddaughter is still underage, Ye Rongrong will let his charitable foundation help them.

After all, this old man is really pitiful, and he is also fated to her.

If you do, just stretch out your hand!

"My granddaughter is fourteen years old. ”

The old man said.

"Oh, old man, may I go to your house?"

Ye Rongrong thought for a moment and asked.

"What?"

The old man looked at Ye Rongrong vigilantly and asked.

After all, strangers offer to visit their homes for no reason, which is worth being wary of.

"I just want to go and see it, and if I can, I'll donate your granddaughter to finish college. ”

Ye Rongrong explained.

"Would you like to donate my granddaughter to college?"

The old man looked at Ye Rongrong in surprise and asked.

After all, the old man himself doesn't know how many years he can live, or how many years he can come out to beg, and the old man himself doesn't know.

The most worrying thing for the old man is his granddaughter, if he leaves, or falls ill, what will his granddaughter do?

Even if he didn't fall ill, the old man was worried that he wouldn't be able to afford the high cost of his granddaughter's college education.

Now that someone suddenly said that he wanted to provide for his granddaughter to go to college, the old man was really surprised.

After all, after living for such an old age, the old man has read countless people, and the old man can still tell what kind of person is a good person and what kind of person is a bad person.

The two young couples in front of them are definitely not bad people or liars.

After all, he is a beggar, and he is so old, and scammers will not come to deceive him.

"Yes. ”

Ye Rongrong nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll take you to my house!"

The old man nodded and said.

"Wait a minute. ”

Saying that, Ye Rongrong called Teacher Xu Yan and told her that he had something to do and would come back later, and asked her to help watch Xiao Mengmeng.

……

"Old man, get in the car!"

Liu Jingqing opened the car door and saw that the old man did not get into the car, so he said.

"I ...... I'm so dirty, I won't sit in your car, I'll sit in the dirty car. ”

The old man looked at the luxurious car, shook his head and said.

My clothes are so dirty, I can't make such a good car dirty.

"It's okay, just sit down!"

Ye Rongrong said to the old man.

"No, I'll just call a tricycle to send me. ”

The old man shook his head and said.

"It's okay, just sit down, so we can get to your house early!"

Liu Jingqing persuaded.

"Okay! I'm going to get something. ”

The old man thought for a moment and said.

After speaking, the old man walked to the side shop, asked for a few large plastic bags, walked to the door of the car, spread the plastic bags on the seat and ground of the car, and then refused to get on the car.

Seeing this scene, Ye Rongrong's eyes couldn't help but sour, this is really a very good old man!

……

The old man now lives in Xinshan Village, where the largest garbage dump in the entire Yangping County is located, and many waste pickers and migrant workers live here.

In about fifteen minutes, the car drove to Xinshan Village, which has a large garbage disposal site where most of the garbage from the entire Yangping County is dumped.

Under the dusky sky, a swamp polluted into purple emitted a strong stench, and the peaks composed of various garbage were like hundreds of dinosaurs showing their backs from the swamp, and some large industrial garbage could be faintly seen on the peaks.

Even in this season, there are still swarms of flies flying on it, and the "buzzing" of the green-headed fly can be heard from far away, and from time to time, a few mice the size of half a cat emerge from the garbage heap.

There are thousands of rats, flies, cockroaches, worms, and mosquitoes living here, and it is the dirtiest and smelliest place in the whole Yangping County.

"Old man, you ...... You live right here. ”

Liu Jingqing asked in surprise.

For Liu Jingqing, who is a little clean, such a dirty and smelly place, she wants to vomit when she looks at it.

Liu Jingqing suspected that if he was allowed to live here for a day, he would definitely go crazy.

How can this place be inhabited, Liu Jingqing is a little unimaginable.

"Hmm. ”

The old man nodded in response.

Since the house was sold, the homeless old man moved here with his little granddaughter, although it is dirty and smelly, but it is also a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

And it's right next to the garbage dump, so it's also convenient to pick up some scraps that can be sold for money every day.

"The two houses in front of me are where I live. ”

The old man pointed to the two simple sheds in the front row and said to Ye Rongrong, who was driving.

In the old man's opinion, no matter how bad or bad his house is, it is all his own hard work, you must know that the old man bought these two houses from a waste picker for a hundred yuan alone, and the old man has lived in this house for nearly ten years.

In the past ten years, the old man has almost relied on the money he earned by picking up rags in the large pile of garbage in front of him to support his granddaughter's education.

Ye Rongrong looked at the two simple houses not far away, not so much a house, but a broken shed, which could also shelter from the wind and rain.

I couldn't help but feel a little blocked in my heart, this old man's life is really hard!

Soon, the car stopped at the location of the simple shed where the old man lived.

Everyone got out of the car.

"Come in and sit!"

After getting out of the car, the old man invited Ye Rongrong and his wife into the house to live.

"Hmm!"

Ye Rongrong nodded, and walked into the simple shed with Liu Jingqing.

The internal space of this simple shed is not large, less than 20 square meters, and there are all kinds of things neatly placed in it, and a bed has occupied half of the space, which is said to be a bed, that is, a dilapidated bamboo mat bed, placed on two benches, which is simply regarded as having a bed.

Such a simple bed, Ye Rongrong remembered that he had seen it in the village when he was a child, and now he has hardly seen such a bed again, of course, when the TV series of the old social era is shown on TV, he may be able to see it vaguely.

It can be said that this kind of bed is about to become a historical museum, Ye Rongrong didn't expect that he would see it here, it seems that this old man's life is really too poor.

Although the conditions of accommodation here are very poor, it is undeniable that the old man is a very clean person, you must know that this room looks clean and tidy except for the shabby point

Ye Rongrongzai carefully looked around the old man's room, except for a broken electric fan, which was still an electrical appliance, he basically couldn't see any other modern electrical appliances. (To be continued.) )
