Chapter 99: A Thousand Thoughts

Gu Fanxin didn't know anything about Xu Zhaodi's calculations and slander behind her back.

She is now following senior Hong Tao to visit and intern in a nursing home. Little Star now has a little frog as a playmate, and usually stays in the space to play.

The last time I came back from Brother Hai, Professor Lin gave her a make-up class again.

In fact, nursing home is still a very unfamiliar word in Gu Fan's eyes. In her previous life, she had never heard of this term at all.

Her knowledge of nursing homes is only a few words from others or the media, and the nursing home seems to her to be an inconspicuous corner that adopts those lonely elderly people and is easily overlooked.

Like last time, Gu Changshun and Grandpa Gu were arranged by Brother Hai there, and settled him in a nursing home, so that the old man had a place to settle down in the nursing home.

It made her curious about this place called a nursing home.

But because of lack of time, I didn't have the opportunity to see it in person. What does a nursing home look like today?

With a stomach full of questions, Gu Fanxin followed the seniors to the Nianhua Warm Nursing Home for interview practice.

This is the most comfortable nursing home in the Yejing Fangning area, arranging accommodation for four people, and the dean explained that the advantage of this arrangement is that several people can help each other and take care of each other.

Inside, the snow-white walls and blue curtains are simply furnished, but each room is equipped with a black-and-white TV and radio.

However, the dean said with a little regret that at present, there is no way to popularize health care, fitness, and recreation facilities because of the lack of funds.

According to the dean, there are currently more than 100 elderly people living here.

Some of them come here to relieve their loneliness because they are old and have no companions, some are too busy with their children to take care of them, and some are overseas Chinese who have returned to their roots but have no relatives in China to come here to spend their old age.

At the same time, temporary accommodation is also arranged in the hospital, and the elderly can come and go freely. Gu Fanxin came to the 26th room of his work-study partner, Shenyang grandmother.

The bedridden Shenyang grandmother has been a little unwell recently, and she is a little afraid of the cold in autumn, and she always likes to nest in the quilt.

Gu Fanxin carefully washed her hair, and took out scissors to trim her hair. Hong Tao looked at her in amazement, I really didn't expect this girl to know anything!

Seeing Senior Hong's surprised gaze, Gu Fanxin smiled.

In order to save money in my previous life, I simply learned to give myself a haircut by myself, and it can be regarded as practice.

Next, I trimmed my nails for Grandma Shenyang, probably because of illness, the old man's nails looked very strange, and the layers were very thick, which was really difficult to cut.

So she had an idea to soak her hands and feet in Shenyang Grandma with hot water, and after a while, the nail bubbles softened, and then trimmed them to be easy to cut!

Grandma Shenyang, who is enjoying all this, is warm in her heart.

This girl is as careful as a hair, considerate, and has no dislike for herself at all.

She knows how smoky her own stinky feet are.

She lives here everywhere, the only unpleasant thing is that her athlete's foot smells too bad, and everyone in the same room smells it and dislikes herself.

Watching Gu Fanxin put Grandma Shenyang's Hong Kong foot on his lap and trimmed it, and then smoothed it little by little with a nail clipper file, Hong Tao, who helped clean up the room next to him, also admired it.

In the subsequent conversation with Shenyang's grandmother, Gu Fanxin felt that in the eyes of the elderly, in addition to exempting them from the worries of taking care of life, more importantly, it provides them with opportunities to interact with other elderly people, reducing their increased loneliness and panic when their physical condition declines.

The rest of the elderly also said that they like to live here, especially two elderly people who have no children and no daughters and sold their houses and donated all the money to the nursing home, which shows the deep affection of the elderly for the nursing home.

However, senior Hong Tao said that there are only a few nursing homes that are really as good as Nianhua's warmth, on the one hand, the geographical location and environment of most nursing homes are not very good.

On the other hand, under the influence of traditional concepts, many people do not accept letting their parents enter nursing homes, and many elderly people also feel that it is reliable to raise children to prevent old age, and others can't count on them.

Raising children to prevent old age, raising children to prevent old age, Gu Fanxin always hears the phrase raising children to prevent old age.

In the countryside, all parents have provided their sons with good food and drink since they were young, thinking that they can sit back and relax when they are old.

But in their later years, there are still old people who have lost their labor force and are ruthlessly driven out of the house by their sons and daughters-in-law.

There used to be an old man named Meng Po begging at the door of her house. He carried a large bowl with a slit in his hand and a greasy cloth bag on his shoulder.

There are openings in the front and back of the cloth pockets to hold things, and the steamed buns, dead flour cakes, rice and wheat that people give can be poured into them. This pocket was given to her by her daughter-in-law for her.

The rice and wheat that he had begged for could go back to his son's house in exchange for something to eat.

Seeing Meng Po begging, Gu Zhongyi and his family were not very happy, but Liu Lanzhi brought her some food with her own food, and moved a small bench for her to sit down and eat slowly.

Meng Po sat down gratefully and took a big gulp of food.

After eating, Meng Po told Liu Lanzhi about her sad history.

It turned out that she had both children and daughters, but when she was young, she was patriarchal, desperately calling her daughter, with a bad voice and a bad attitude;

For his son, he was afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of covering his hands, and he didn't say a word of weight, and he was used to it.

Later, the old man left before her, but the old man was blessed not to suffer, and when he fell ill, he rushed to wait for him, and he died and had a beautiful funeral.

When his son was older, he spent money to marry his daughter-in-law, but when he was old, he couldn't work, and he was disliked by his son and daughter-in-law and kicked out!

The daughter took her in for a while, regardless of her previous suspicions, but after a few days, she had to look at her son-in-law's face, and the daughter even gave it to her mother for the sake of eating less for herself, which made her extremely ashamed.

Meng Po ate the last bite of food with tears in her eyes, and under her son-in-law's gloomy face, no matter how much her daughter tried to keep her, she didn't stay.

When I was young, I owed my daughter eccentricly, and now I stay to make trouble for my daughter and make her embarrassed?

The desperate Meng Po returned to her hometown again, but she couldn't even enter her own door!

The daughter-in-law blocked the door and prevented her from entering, and finally she had to cry and say that she didn't come back to trouble them, but to get something to ask for food......

The daughter-in-law was merciful enough to make a cloth bag for her to carry on, and gave her the broken bowl that was fed to the cats at home, so that she could stay where it was cool, and not to dirty their eyes in the future!

Meng Po held the bowl with the gap, and walked out crying along the way. It is really the tears of the hearers, and the sadness of the listeners!
