Chapter 337: Jiang Erfang
After listening to Gu Suyou's words, everyone was either moved or proud. In short, everyone has a very good impression of this person who joined in rashly.
In addition to rejoicing......
She glanced at Gu Suyou with a somewhat strange expression, this is the legendary drama spirit?
However, Huanxi didn't think much about it, just thought that this person was just joining in the fun. Anyway, they're just a university club, and they're not a classified unit, so there's nothing to hide, and it's a good thing to have multiple coolies.
"President, this is already registered, which neighborhood are we going to next?" someone asked.
Huanxi thought for a while and said, "Is the old town you said before close to here?"
The communities they will go to are all relatively backward conditions, such as some workers' family areas, which basically do not go to patronize.
After all, even if the elderly in these places do not have children to take care of, they have money in hand and the help of their co-workers, and their help is just icing on the cake for them.
There was an enthusiastic classmate who took them to one of his old neighbors to register, the old lady is a retired worker of a state-owned enterprise, although she has a retirement salary, but because of a stroke, her right hand has become an ornament, and there are no children to take care of her, so life is very difficult.
The other party was not short of money, so they went to wash each other's clothes every once in a while, tidy up the house, and prepare some durable food.
This was everyone's intention, but after a while, someone found out that something was wrong.
They basically go to help clean up once a week, but each other's dirty clothes have changed from three or five pieces to dozens!
No matter how stupid you are, you know there's something wrong with this.
Later, I found out that the old lady was using them as free labor, and those many clothes were from some neighbors around, and washing a piece according to the size and material of the clothes, the old lady could get at most three cents, at least one penny.
In this way, she can get at least one dollar a week, and three or five dollars a month.
- Don't underestimate three or five yuan, it will definitely be worth three or five hundred in the future generations.
The moment they learned the truth, everyone almost scolded their mothers in their hearts, and they fed a dog with the kindness of themselves and others?!
Since then, they have been much more cautious about verifying their registrations. Although no one thinks that they will be rewarded when they go to help others, it is enough to encounter something like this old lady once!
Huanxi will say that the old town can actually be regarded as a slum in City B, the houses here are in disrepair, the location is poor, and the security is not good, and the people who have the conditions have basically moved away, and there is really no way to leave behind. Not only that, but because of the low prices, there are still many people who don't have a house to rent.
Of course, there will be no migrant workers, and some of the people who rent there are young couples who have many brothers and sisters in the family and do not even have a marital house after marriage, or some parents who make room for their married children. Even some old people who are old and frail and disliked by their children.
When entering the old town, many people frowned, it was really ...... The environment here is so bad, there are rotten vegetable leaves everywhere, and even children can be seen defecating on the side of the road.
A few female students frowned at the moment, and they were quite used to being happy, but if they weren't used to it, what village in the countryside didn't have this kind of virtue?
This is the house...... It's just a dilapidated house, right?
They had already done a census at the government before they came, so they didn't come without a goal.
"Uncle, where does Jiang Erfang live?" asked Huanxi a middle-aged man who looked more honest.
Jiang Erfang is a blind man, her husband died very early, and she raised her children alone, and she didn't want her daughter to get a sudden illness as soon as she became an adult, and her son also died a few years after she went to the countryside, and she cried for most of the year and blinded her eyes. Later, her in-laws kicked her out on the grounds that the house belonged to her husband's unit and that she had no children and was not qualified to live in it.
Jiang Erfang was originally a countryman, and her hukou has somehow always been a rural hukou, but now that she is old and can't go back to her mother's house, she rented a room in the old city and lived alone. Because she is not a city hukou and has no job and no income, she earns some change every day by paying the soles of her shoes, and her nephew sees that she is having a hard time, and secretly sends her a few catties of food and vegetables that the family can't eat at home every once in a while. In this way, it can be regarded as living a good life, so as not to starve to death.
But only not starvation.
The house where Jiang Erfang lives is also the most dilapidated in the old city, and when Huanxi and the group arrived, she was sitting under the eaves with the soles of her shoes.
The old lady's skeleton is not small, but this will be as thin as skin and bones, but the small skeleton is very abrupt, and it is a little worrying to see it.
"You are the kind-hearted college students that Ah Xiu said, right?" Hearing their self-introduction, Jiang Erfang was stunned and showed a smile and said: "I said a long time ago, I don't need to help, I'm an old woman who is dying, how can I live or not? It's good to have something to eat." ”
The Ah Xiu in her mouth is a member of the social assistance cooperative, a sophomore named Min Duxiu.
Although Jiang Erfang didn't look like she needed their help, several girls couldn't see it, and took the initiative to help her clean up the house, and after boiling hot water for her, they also smiled and thanked her.
It's just that the smile on her face is sad. Her whole body seemed to be dead, and that smile was more like a habitual politeness than from the heart.
A girl couldn't help but say: "Grandma Jiang, you can go to the neighborhood committee, or go to the women's federation to go to the court, the house left by your lover should be yours, and it has nothing to do with whether your children are still alive." ”
She thought that Jiang Erfang was born in the countryside and had little knowledge, so she was confused and let people rob the house.
I didn't want Jiang Erfang to smile lightly: "I know what you said, but so what? What is the benefit of snatching the house back?"
Of course there are benefits!
The girl looked at the dilapidated house where the old lady now lived, and looked disapproving.
saw Jiang Erfang turn his head in one direction, and said in a hoarse voice: "There are memories of half my life in that house, and the neighbors there also know each other. When I hear those familiar voices, I think of Xiaohui and Xiaoyan. Not to mention, there are always people who like to expose your scars again and again. ”
"And the Shi family, if I want the house back, they will definitely trouble me in other matters. I don't have that much energy to deal with them, and now, I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace and see my Xiaohui and Xiaoyan. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially the girl, who cried out with a wow, "Grandma Jiang, you can't do this, if your son and daughter have a spirit in the sky, they must hope that you can spend your old ......age well."
It's just that looking at Jiang Erfang's indifferent face, you know that she is not convinced.
