Xu Zhen took the key and looked at Sun Xiaoxin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Director Zhou, can I go see my godmother?"

Zhou Yang smiled: "Of course you can, not only can you visit, you can also visit at any time, the nursing home is not far away, you can just go over directly." Actually, when I saw the old man Tang Xinlian, she also hoped that you would visit her more, she was a strong old man. Her deeds also touched the cadres of our Civil Affairs Office very much. ”

Xu Zhen also knows that for an old man who has lost his independence, this world is very dark. Thankfully, they lost their son, but not their country.

The nursing home was built at the bend of the river not far from the town government, and Xu Zhen had never been here before.

Yuquan Town is not big, after all, there are few elderly people in the five guarantees, and in the countryside, there are not many single children, and there are not many who maliciously do not support the elderly. In the countryside, if the children are not filial, they will be poked in the backbone by the villagers, even if there are those disobedient and unfilial children, they will try to be filial in front of others.

Sometimes, even if some old people still have a little ability to work, they regard going to a nursing home as a shame, even if they have no children and no daughters, even if their children are not filial, they would rather die alone and work hard for life than accept the support of the state.

There are less than 20 elderly and disabled people in the Yuquan Township Nursing Home. Because the economy of Yuquan Town is very backward, this is manifested in nursing homes.

Looking at the nursing home with quite backward conditions, Xu Zhen's mood is still very calm, at least the town government does not have air conditioning in every office. That is to say, the town cadres did not only care about their own comfort, but did not care about the daily life of the elderly.

Then it can only be said that the conditions are limited, and the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient.

The yard of the nursing home is very small, a dormitory building that looks old, and then a few bungalows surround a yard, there are very few very simple fitness equipment in the yard, these equipment are still donated by the sports lottery center, there are some flowers and plants on the ground of the yard, the ground is not hardened, this is for the convenience of the elderly, of course, there should be no water accumulation on rainy days.

Then there were a few stone tables and stone benches under a few trees, and a few old people played chess on the stone tables. Most of the old ladies sat in the shade and chatted.

As Xu Zhen expected, except for those who are disabled and have no ability to take care of themselves, most of the people in nursing homes are seventy or eighty years old. In his sixties, he was still in good health, and he didn't live in a nursing home.

After explaining his intention to the administrator, Xu Zhen walked in with Sun Xiaoxin.

Tang Xinlian actually didn't want to live in a nursing home, she felt that she could still support herself, but she knew that if she didn't live in a nursing home, Xu Zhen would definitely have to pester her to let her go to his house, how could she go to his house.

The house was very hot, because many elderly people were sick, the air conditioner was not suitable for installation, and even the electric fan was not installed, and other old people were in the yard to enjoy the coolness, only Tang Xinlian sat in the room, looking at the small river outside the window with a somewhat empty look.

Although she should feel honored that her son sacrificed himself as a soldier to save people and the country, but after losing her son, the pain in her heart can only last until the moment she enters the coffin.

"Knock knock!"

"Grandma......" Tang Xinlian was about to open the door, when she heard her granddaughter's voice, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly took two steps to open the door. In this world, her granddaughter may be her only hope.

"Godmother!" Xu Zhen saw Tang Xinlian standing by the door, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Seeing her grandmother, Sun Xiaoxin hurriedly threw herself into her grandmother's arms.

"Come in and sit down." Tang Xinlian pulled Sun Xiaoxin and said to Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen nodded.

The room in the nursing home is also very simple, the room is a two-person room, two beds, two cabinets, and a table, Xu Zhen feels that the conditions are worse than when he was in college. When I was in college, it was a four-person room, but at least there was a bathroom, there was no bathroom here, there was no floor on the floor, and although the walls were painted, many of them were about to fall off.

Xu Zhen brought a chair and sat down.

"Godmother, are you used to living here?" At this point, Xu Zhen also broke off the idea of taking Tang Xinlian home.

Tang Xinlian nodded and said: "When I turned sixty years old, the town had already contacted me and asked me if I would like to live in a nursing home. Actually, I'm used to living here, and there are some old people here, who usually chat and play cards or something. ”

Looking at these humble conditions, Xu Zhen silently made a wish in his heart, after he had enough economic strength, he would build a new nursing home here to give these old people the best conditions.

"If you get tired of living in the future, I will pick you up and go to my house for a few days...... I'll often bring Xin to see you. Xu Zhen was a little sad. He felt that he had made some concessions to his biological parents.

"Well, Erbao, if you have this heart, your godmother will be satisfied." As she spoke, Tang Xinlian took out a somewhat wrinkled passbook from her pocket and handed it to Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen was puzzled, and took a look, there was still nearly 300,000 money on this passbook.

"Godmother, what are you?" Xu Zhen saw that this passbook didn't seem to have been used for so many years, and the last time he withdrew money was three years ago.

"This is what my son bought with his life!"

Xu Zhen knew that this should be Sun Xiaojun's pension.

"This is your coffin book, godmother, you take it well, and the money can't be revealed." Xu Zhen hurriedly handed over the passbook.

Tang Xinlian shook her head and said, "Erbao, if you call me godmother, I will believe you as godmother." I'm old, and now I live in a nursing home, and the government provides life every day, and there is nothing to use money, you keep this money to raise Xiao Xin, I know that it can cost money to take children now. ”

Xu Zhen hurriedly shook his head, stuffed the passbook into Tang Xinlian's hand, and said: "Godmother, Xie Lili's card is now in my hand, even if I don't have any money, I will bring Sun Xiaoxin up, I will give her the best life I can give, I can't take your money anymore." ”

Tang Xinlian stuffed the passbook back into Xu Zhen's hand and said, "My old woman may suddenly get sick or die at some point, if I die suddenly, what if Xiao Xin can't get this money by then?" Godmother believes in you, so, you can help me hold this money, I now have five guarantees, a pension subsidy, and agricultural insurance, and the medicine money can also be reimbursed, basically it doesn't cost anything, and I can't use any money every month for pocket money. If Xiao Xin can't use the money for her studies, you can wait for her to grow up, buy her a house, and make a dowry, I can't bring the money into the coffin. Although you are not my own son, I have already treated you as my own son. ”

Xu Zhen knew that this was Sun Xiaojun's pension, but in the old man's heart, no amount of money could buy back his son's safe return.

Since this is the case, he has nothing to shirk anymore, so he nodded and said: "Then I will help you keep it, and when Xiao Xin grows up, I will hand over the money to Xiao Xin." ”

Together with the money Xie Lili gave him, he decided not to use any of it, and kept it for Sun Xiaoxin, he could support her until she was admitted to college at the age of eighteen, and when she went to college, she would use the money to work her own. (To be continued.) )
