"Most of the people who live here are lonely and widowed elderly, many people have no children, and some of their children are not around, in fact, it was not like this before going down, but year after year, the community is getting more and more broken......

Yu Wenjun squinted his eyes when he said this, and looked up in the direction of the fourth floor: "Most of the old people with children and daughters sold this place and found a community with a better environment, and a very small part lived in their children's homes. In the end, most of the old people who stayed behind were childless and daughterless, or did not have the economy to live in a better community, and some elderly people were reluctant to leave the place where they had lived for many years because of their living habits. ”

Jiang Mengying nodded, and finally understood why those old people were waiting at the door expectantly just now, but their eyes were full of emptiness, because they knew that they couldn't wait for their children, but they were just waiting there because they were used to it day after day.

She felt uncomfortable with this feeling, especially when she recalled the eyes of the old people, and her chest was stuffed with cotton.

"Who's that grandma?"

On the stairs to the fourth floor, Jiang Mengying couldn't help but ask this question, Yu Wenjun stopped again and whispered: "Grandma is eighty-nine years old this year, her eyesight and hearing are very poor, Grandpa left before Grandma twenty years ago, they only have one son, but he went to join the army as early as seventy years ago, and he hasn't come back yet......"

Jiang Mengying's eyes widened in disbelief: "Then in the past twenty years, has Grandma lived alone?!"

"Yes, there are occasional community activities, organizing students from nearby primary schools to come here to perform for these elderly people, other than that, Grandma basically has no activities, and she has never even left the community. ”

Yu Wenjun said these words very calmly, but Jiang Mengying was stunned in place, she didn't dare to imagine how an eighty-nine-year-old man could grope through such a long twenty years?

Isn't that the nobody you want to talk to? It's terrible......

"By the way, today is Grandma's birthday, let's make a bowl of longevity noodles for Grandma to eat, Grandma is so old, I don't know how many birthdays I have to spend, try to make Grandma happy." Yu Wenjun pointed to the stairs and motioned for Jiang Mengying to continue walking.

Jiang Mengying glanced at Yu Wenjun in disbelief, she didn't expect that Yu Wenjun, who usually looked improper, still had such a side, and felt that she had been a little harsh to him before.

"This is it. ”

Yu Wenjun stopped in front of 401, and after ringing the doorbell, he stood quietly and waited, and five minutes passed, and the door did not mean to open, and there was no movement in the room.

Jiang Mengying couldn't wait any longer, she urged Yu Wenjun and said, "Is it that Grandma has bad ears and didn't hear it?" ”

"Grandma must be able to hear it, the doorbell is installed in the living room, no matter which room she is in, she will hear it, Grandma has old cold legs, it is inconvenient to walk, wait a minute. In contrast, Yu Wenjun's patience was much better than Jiang Mengying's, he didn't have any intention of being anxious at all, but still stood calmly and waited.

Sure enough, three minutes later, the door finally opened slowly, and an old face of vicissitudes of life suddenly appeared in front of him, to Jiang Mengying's surprise, Grandma immediately showed a happy smile after seeing Yu Wenjun, and reached out tremblingly to signal Yu Wenjun to enter.

At this time, Grandma suddenly noticed Jiang Mengying beside Yu Wenjun, this was the first time Grandma saw Jiang Mengying, and it was also the first time Grandma saw Yu Wenjun come to her with a girl.

I don't know why Grandma pointed at Jiang Mengying a little excitedly, the smile on her face deepened, Yu Wenjun couldn't help laughing when she saw Grandma's excited appearance, as if he knew what Grandma wanted to say, so he pulled Jiang Mengying to his side and introduced with a smile: "Grandma, this is my friend, Jiang Mengying, you just call her Meng Ying." ”

"Come on...... Fast...... Come in......"

Maybe it's because of her age, and Grandma even has some difficulty pronouncing it, Jiang Mengying thought of her late grandmother when she saw Grandma's appearance, and thought that if her grandmother was living alone in this world, what should she do?

If she had children and grandchildren, wouldn't she be distressed to death?

Jiang Mengying stepped forward and affectionately helped Grandma to walk inside, Grandma obviously liked Jiang Mengying very much, and kept grinning, looking very happy.

After Jiang Mengying walked into the room, she found that it was far worse than she imagined, not to mention the large area of water leakage on the balcony, the floor of the bedroom had already cracked due to dampness, not to mention the wall, which was gray and misty, as if it was moldy......

From the living room to the bedroom to the bathroom, there was a strange smell, although Jiang Mengying felt that this smell would not harm the body, but it greatly reduced the comfort of living.

It can be seen from this how hard it is for the old man to live here alone, if it weren't for Yu Wenjun's frequent visits to visit Grandma, Jiang Mengying wouldn't dare to imagine how Grandma would persevere.

"Grandma, today is your birthday! Meng Ying and I will give you longevity noodles to eat, okay?" Yu Wenjun helped Grandma to sit down on the dilapidated sofa in the living room, and turned on the TV for her intimately, although he knew that Grandma might not be able to see what was on the TV at all, purely out of treating Grandma like an elder in the family.

Jiang Mengying saw Grandma squinting her eyes, struggling to look at the bright TV, and was about to walk over to talk to Grandma when she saw Yu Wenjun standing at the kitchen door and winking at herself.

"Grandma, Yu Wenjun and I will make noodles for you, and you will be able to eat delicious noodles in a while. After Jiang Mengying said this, Grandma nodded heavily, but her eyes still fell on the TV screen.

Jiang Mengying walked into the kitchen, and heard Yu Wenjun remind: "Don't mention Ah Gong in front of her for a while, and her son or something, the old man will be sad." ”

"Of course I know, do you still need to be reminded of this?" Jiang Mengying pursed her lips, she didn't understand what kind of character was in the person in front of her?

Yu Wenjun turned around and glanced at her, and saw Jiang Mengying looking down for something in the cabinet, and couldn't help poking her with his elbow: "Don't look for it, there are very few things that can be eaten, you take a few eggs out of the refrigerator and make a bowl of egg noodles." ”

Jiang Mengying nodded, walked towards the refrigerator, suddenly thought of something, and said strangely: "Grandma lives alone, so what should she do with her daily life? I see that Grandma is so old, she shouldn't be able to cook by herself, right?"

"How can I let Grandma live here alone? I hired a nanny for Grandma, and the nanny can take three days off a month, and today the nanny is temporarily on leave, so I will bring you here." Yu Wenjun said that he had turned on the gas and was very clumsily putting the noodles into the pot.

Yu Wenjun's noodles were very long, exceeding the length of the pot, and he was about to break these noodles when Jiang Mengying shouted: "Stop, stop, stop! Do you know how to cook noodles? I saw that you thought you were very powerful, so that's it, I'll come!"

"No, what kind of door do you want to cook this bowl of noodles? The taste is the same, you don't care, go wash the tomatoes, and I'll make a tomato scrambled egg later." Yu Wenjun had already cut off those noodles very decisively as he spoke, and quickly closed the lid of the pot.

Jiang Mengying saw that he had done it, and it was not easy to say anything more, so she had to go with him, she lowered her head and washed the tomatoes seriously, and asked him again curiously: "How did you and Grandma meet?"

"I've known Grandma for five years, and it all started when I was still in school...... At that time, I was hospitalized for acute appendicitis, and my grandmother was in the same ward as me, and when I was sick, my parents, relatives and friends came to see me every day and accompanied me every day, without a day of interruption. But Grandma didn't have anyone to accompany me from beginning to end, which I thought was very strange, and then I chatted with the head nurse to find out that Grandma was the only one by herself. ”

When Yu Wenjun said this, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly grabbed a handful of salt and put it in the pot, looked at Jiang Mengying's somewhat surprised expression, patted it and continued: "One day, I saw my grandmother lying on the hospital bed, looking sideways at me, her eyes were full of tears. That scene has always haunted my heart, and I can't forget it, and after I got better, I asked the head nurse for my grandmother's address. ”

"So, in the past five years, you have come to see Grandma every week?" Jiang Mengying didn't expect that Yu Wenjun had been doing this for five years, and when he saw Yu Wenjun nodding affirmatively, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.

"Eggs. ”

After Yu Wenjun opened the lid of the pot, he stretched out his hand to Jiang Mengying, Jiang Mengying hurriedly handed him the egg, Yu Wenjun took the egg and knocked it lightly on the edge of the pot, and the egg yolk and egg white slid into the noodles along the edge of the pot.

"Will your eggs be put too early?I don't think this noodles are cooked yet......" Jiang Mengying poked his head and glanced at the noodles in the pot, looking at Yu Wenjun with some uncertainty.

Yu Wenjun smiled and scratched his head: "I don't know, I thought that all the noodles I cooked for Grandma were instant noodles, or in a few minutes, the noodles would be fully cooked." ”

"You actually gave the old man unnutritious instant noodles, you are too lazy!" Jiang Mengying exclaimed, and then scooped out the eggs that had been formed with a spoon, put them in the empty bowl on the side, and prepared to put them down later.

"I'll come, you better go out and have a good chat with Grandma!" Jiang Mengying said and pushed Yu Wenjun out, she really felt that Yu Wenjun was a disadvantage in the kitchen, and it was useless.
