Chapter 28: The Meaning of Life (1)

It turned out that this old professor worked at a famous university in the city. It is said that in the era of knowledge economy, it is not a problem for such an old expert to take a few students to work on a few projects and earn millions a year. However, this old man is a humanities major, majoring in Western philosophy, and belongs to a major that has no oil and water. In addition, he is also upright, and he lives on that little salary and allowance on weekdays, but he does not leave any family business.

He has a son and a daughter, and the children are just ordinary people, although all medical expenses are reimbursed by the state, but the work of taking care of and serving the elderly involves a lot of energy. The so-called long-term illness before the bed without filial piety, especially this kind of old man who has not brought practical benefits to his children and created a large inheritance. As a result, the children gradually became a little impatient, and in the end, they simply hired a nurse and did not show up again.

Today, the old man is at his last moment, and the family members are reluctant to come to see him off.

One of these things caused a dispute between his son and daughter, and according to local customs, the person who died in a sudden accident did not say anything. An old man like the old professor who is dying must stop his breath at home, so that he can find his way back when he wants to go home in the future.

But the question arises again - should he go back to his son's house or his daughter's house.

The custom of the Chinese, the water spilled by the married daughter, the son's home is his own home. However, according to Lao Jin, the old professor's wife died early, and the education of this group of children was not too successful. Especially the daughter, because she was married to love, her husband was a foreigner, and her income was low, and the family of three had a hard time. The so-called daughter was the lover of the previous life, and the old professor took pity on his daughter, so he transferred the house of about 60 square meters under his name to his daughter's name, and he lived with his daughter on weekdays.

Now that the housing price has reached an astronomical high, the old professor gave his only property to his daughter, which naturally caused his son's anger. The brother and sister slowly escalated from quarrel to fighting, and finally turned against each other.

The old professor was also sorry in his heart, the daily salary and bonuses, as well as the tuition fees for lecturing outside, were handed over to his son to supplement the family, thinking about a bowl of water.

But things in the world, as long as they are designed to the vital interests, there is something that can be absolutely balanced.

Especially when the old man is dying, the contradictions that have been accumulated in the hearts of the brothers and sisters for a long time have completely exploded, and they are unwilling to let the old man go to his home to complete the last journey of his life.

After listening to Lao Jin, Liu Zhang smiled: "This thing is quite married, my gossip soul is burning." "The bank is a place full of girls, and after working in it for many years, he inevitably has a penchant for gossip.

He walked to the door and looked inside curiously. When I saw this, I was immediately surprised: "It's not easy to do this job today!"

I saw a huge old man lying on the hospital bed. This old professor doesn't know if he is from the Northeast, and he is at least 1.90 meters tall. He was covered in fat, lying on a narrow single bed, and the bed was crowded, it seemed that he was at least about 180 pounds, and this was still the case of being sick for half a month.

I heard Lao Yu say that this old professor has pancreatic cancer, which is at an advanced stage. As far as Liu Zhang knows, if you think that this kind of patient with terminal cancer, because of the torture of the disease, the body has shrunk so much, and the whole person will be smaller.

The old man was still so big after lying on the hospital bed for half a month, and he didn't know what he looked like when he was healthy. But with his current body shape, it was enough to make Liu Zhang and them chill, looking at his thin arms and legs, Liu Zhang felt that if he encountered the twenty-six floors when he carried people for the first time, he would definitely be crushed.

The old professor was dying, his eyes closed, and the sound of his heavy breathing was heard throughout the room. It's strange to say, he's sick like this, his skin is still fair and elastic, and he doesn't look scary. With each gasp, the thick double jaw shuddered slightly.

His sons and daughters were still arguing loudly, and the loudest was his daughter: "Boss, things in the world can't drag on the word rules." You are the eldest son, my eldest brother, the only man in our family. You're home there, and Daddy should send you there. Sending your daughter and son-in-law's family to the end, isn't that a joke, are you unreasonable?"

After all, it's a woman, and if the old man is angry at home, it's scary.

Hearing my sister say this, before the eldest brother could speak, the sister-in-law jumped up, this is a woman who looks like a philistine, and she looks fierce when she speaks: "Jokes, you want to tell jokes, see who is the joke? When you have gained benefits, you have fulfilled your obligations. Count the only man in the family, we are home there, if you really want to say that, the house should be given to us. ”

"Yes. The eldest brother's eyes were full of anger: "Why do you want to send me there, Lao Tzu carried a butt account when he bought a house, and now he has to pay a mortgage of nearly 10,000 yuan a month, since my father wants to be biased, I can't blame me." ”

My sister said angrily: "You are unfilial." ”

"Ouch, when it comes to unfilial piety at this time, what did you do earlier?" The sister-in-law exaggeratedly shouted: "This is a man, you have to compare your heart with your heart, the old man didn't treat your eldest brother well when he was alive, why do we have to do our duty? My house has just been renovated, and now that I'm dead, isn't the house going to depreciate?"

Sister: "So what you think about is this, Dad is about to die, you are still thinking about money, you just fell into the eyes of money." ”

Sister-in-law: "Don't lose money, you quit the house, let's divide it equally, what nonsense." ”

Sister: "Big brother, isn't my life unbearable, my father only gave me the house back then." Besides, your brother-in-law and I are not in charge of his daily diet and daily life, and you only come to see your father once a month. Also, my father's salary for the past ten years or so and the lecture fee for lecturing outside are not all given to you. Otherwise, where will you get the money to buy a house and renovate it? Also, if you buy a house, it's also the money given by your father, don't let me know it. You ask me to quit the house and divide it equally, yes, your house should also be taken out and shared equally by everyone. ”

"You...... You, you, you, you have the idea of my house, shameless!"

Sister: "Who is shameless, you make it clear?"

"You're shameless. / The eldest brother shouted angrily: "Little sister, you prostitute." Back then, I told you not to marry a foreigner, but find someone with a house in this city, but you don't do it, otherwise you won't be as annoyed as you are now. Look at it, look at it, what is good about this PC, Lao Tzu was angry when he saw it. ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at his brother-in-law/

Yes, it's just too flaming. Dad has worked all his life and has a flat house, which should be his son's. If my sister was not a ghost back then, but married a local with a house, it would be impossible to fight with herself for property.

The more he looked at his trivial brother-in-law, the more unpleasant he became, this Su Bei's grandmother was a liar who ate soft rice.

This poked and poked with his fingers like this, which annoyed his brother-in-law a long time ago. He is also a temperamental person, so he waved his hand: "Boss, don't be so ugly, I'm not welcome to do it again." ”

"What can you do if you're not welcome. ”

"I'm going to beat you up bastard. ”

"Come on, fight, do it!"

Suddenly, the eldest brother and brother-in-law became entangled.

Over there, my sister and sister-in-law also screamed and pounced.

For a while, wolf smoke was everywhere in the ward, and things that fell to the ground sounded. The nurse was screaming, and the doctor was pale and shouting, "Calm down, calm down!"

Boss Jin and the others at the door were dumbfounded, Liu Zhang, who likes to watch the lively eyebrows flying, said unconsciously: "Niu B, lively, I like it!" As a so-called "playwright" who has just started, he loves this kind of family ethics drama. Conflict can produce a plot and detonate the audience's emotions. Art comes from life, and only by observing more can we find the subject matter.

Human affection is an article, pay attention to the plot everywhere.

There was a lively fight inside, and Liu Zhang looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed again, but he couldn't bear it in his heart.

That's right, the old man is still panting loudly, and he is brain dead if he can't say it, and he only hangs with one breath left. However, he obviously still retained a trace of sanity, and saw that his eyelids trembled slightly, and he wanted to open them, but he didn't have any strength.

In an instant, two lines of tears rolled down.

Suddenly, Liu Zhang's heart trembled, and he remembered the situation when his father died of illness, and he was also crying silently at that time, obviously because he couldn't rest assured that he was a child who had not yet grown up.

Father...... I don't feel at ease when I leave!

Liu Zhang's eyes were hot, and the old professor in front of him seemed to him, an outsider, to do things in some directions, and it was really unfair to do things, and there was no bowl of water between his children. But how can such a thing as feelings be absolutely fair. People are leaving, and there is no point in talking about it.

I have to let him go in peace!

Liu Zhang couldn't hold back any longer, walked into the ward, carried the old man on his back, and said to the two couples who were in a mess: "It's the middle of the night, it's time to send the old man home." ”

He turned back and said, "Old man, hold on, I'll take you home." ”

The four stopped.

The sister-in-law screamed: "Go home, go back to any home, I am not allowed to go there." ”

The younger sister also shouted: "There are children at home, don't scare her." ”

Liu Zhang: "If you don't go to your home, you won't go even if you're afraid of the old man." ”

The eldest brother was full of doubts: "If you don't go to my place or your little sister, where are you going to send my father?"

Liu Zhang: "Are you all stupid, send it to the unit! The old man has struggled all his life in his post, and at the last moment, he is afraid that he wants to say goodbye to the campus the most, and the school is his home!" He glanced back at the old professor: "Old man, do you say that I am right, if you agree, you will wink." Old man, I think you should be able to hear me, and you probably don't want to see your children become enemies for this, the palms of your hands and the backs of your hands are all the flesh of your heart!"

"It's moving, it's moving, Dad's eyelids are moving. My sister yelled.

Eldest brother: "It turns out that the old man wants to go back to the unit to have a look, or okay, I will contact the school immediately and ask them to open my father's office before his death to do a funeral for us." If they don't, see how Lao Tzu cleans them up? Brother, you have to stand up and speak up when the time comes. ”

After saying that, he patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.

The brother-in-law nodded: "Definitely, they dare not agree, and also, the money unit for the memorial service and the bereavement pension is also obtained." ”

"Yes, ask them for money. The sister-in-law agreed: "I said, this is the last time to find a unit, we should unite as one, and don't make any more trouble." ”

For a while, the two families, who had just fought in the dark, got back together.

"Liu Zhang, I said that you are knowledgeable and know how to speak, today this matter will be solved in a few words, amazing, amazing!" Boss Jin quietly gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Sao and Lao Yu were also full of admiration.

While Liu Zhang was proud in his heart, he couldn't help but moan in a low voice: "Help the handle, it's too heavy, my physical fitness today is not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it." ”
