On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Xia Wei and her party came to the town nursing home to give the elderly a physical examination.

Towards the end of the physical examination, a new old man came to Xia Wei and sat down, and the health doctor in the hospital introduced Xia Wei to the old man's situation.

The health doctor said: "The old lady is quite pitiful, and she has also been admitted to a nursing home with a grandson. ”

Xia Wei hurriedly put down the work in her hand and asked, "By the way, last time we came to give a physical examination to a severely mentally ill patient, I heard that a patient lived in with his grandmother, is this family?" ”

The health practitioner said, "Yes, that's them." ”

Xia Wei continued to ask puzzled, "What about the rest of their family?" ”

The health doctor sighed and said, "The old lady is a poor man." So he talked about the old man's past.

The old man was like a flower and a beautiful girl, but her parents insisted on marrying her to her aunt's cousin, who was also a talent, a good farmer in the village, and she was not picky, so she followed her parents' wishes and married her cousin.

Since then, she and her cousin have given birth to four children, two sons and two daughters, which can be described as both children and perfect. However, these children grow up with dementia, epilepsy and other mental illnesses.

Three of the children died before they got married, and only the youngest son married a daughter-in-law with dementia and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Later, the youngest son and daughter-in-law passed away one after another, the old man also lost his wife, and the grandson was a severely mentally ill person who would often get sick and need to be taken care of. The granddaughter is married, and the family conditions are not good, so the town will take the old man and the sick grandson to live in the nursing home according to the situation of the old man.

Everyone talked about the old people and felt sorry and sympathetic for them, and while they were sorry and sympathetic, they also felt fortunate for the old people. Fortunately, the old man met the good policies of the state, so that she could take care of her old age and live with her sick grandson. This should be a kind of happiness.

There is also a ninety-four-year-old man in the nursing home, the old man sang to everyone after the physical examination, and the old man sang: "**good, **good, some eat, some live, **and send us money." "It amused everyone.

When the old lady's sick grandson saw the old man singing, he was also happy and danced beside the old man. The nursing home was filled with laughter.

At this time, the health doctor of the nursing home said to Xia Wei: "We still have two elderly people who are paralyzed in bed, you can give them a physical examination when you go to the old man's bed." ”

Xia Wei said, "Okay, let's go." Then he picked up the blood pressure monitor and the physical examination chart and followed the health care doctor to the bedside of the paralyzed old man.

Walking into the paralyzed old man's room, Xia Wei felt a burst of surprise. I saw that the room was neat and clean, and the old man's bed was also clean and refreshing, without a little smell.

Xia Wei said excitedly: "The room is so clean and tidy, how can it be so good now?" ”

The health doctor said: "This year, we will arrange for the elderly who are in better health to live in the rooms of the paralyzed elderly, so that they can take care of each other, and the hospital will give some subsidies, so that there will be no one to take care of the paralyzed elderly." ”

Xia Wei said with relief: "This is also good." Then he turned to the healthy old man who took care of the elderly and said: "You have worked harder, such an atmosphere has been cultivated, it is also good for yourself, everyone is a big family, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other." Besides, good people will be rewarded. ”

The old man nodded and replied, "Yes, don't worry, I will." ”

Next, the propaganda staff of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention gave health knowledge lectures to the elderly. The old people listened attentively to the speeches, and the lecturers interacted with the old people from time to time.

When I got home from work, my parents had already made dinner, and my younger brother hadn't come back yet, so Xia Wei came to the computer, turned on the computer, netizen Kun sent a message of greeting, and Xia Wei also replied with a greeting message. Then, Xia Wei told Kun: "We went to the nursing home today to give the elderly a physical examination. ”

Kun replied, "Salute to those who respect the elderly." ”

Xia Wei read this information, and she didn't know what it was like.

Xia Wei met Kun on a literary website, Kun will often publish articles on the website, Xia Wei first edited an article for Kun felt that Kun was a responsible person, from the article learned that Kun is a retired cadre, before retirement was a county propaganda cadre, he is upright, serious work, Xia Wei respects him very much.

Thinking that Kun was also a retired old man, Xia Wei understood the message sent by Kun before.

Xia Wei wrote in her notebook: Respecting the elderly is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Xia Wei thought about some information incidents that were unfavorable to the elderly that circulated on the Internet a few years ago, which made people feel sad. Who doesn't have an old age? Who will be young forever? What old man slanders, what old man does to the person who doesn't give up his seat...... These are all individual cases, and the elderly are a vulnerable group that needs to be respected by the whole society.

Xia Wei remembered that her parents were also old people, and in this old man's festival, she wanted to accompany her parents more and share some housework with the elderly, which was also a filial piety to the elderly.

Dad picked up the phone and called the uncle who lived in his hometown in northern Jiangsu, the old people on both ends of the phone greeted each other, at this moment, Dad should miss his brothers and sisters very much, Xia Wei listened to Dad's call quietly, and gave hints from time to time.

Xia Wei knew that since her father came to Jiangnan from Jiangbei to work and start a family, he rarely returned to his hometown in northern Jiangsu. When Xia Wei was very young, the family conditions were not good, there was no money to go to, and there was no phone to talk about missing relatives, so her father wrote back every once in a while to express his greetings. Waiting for a letter from my hometown became the thing that my father was looking forward to the most, and when he saw the postman passing by, his father had to go up to check it.

Nowadays, my parents have retired, and my father has to go to his hometown almost every year to take a look, and he said that he can still walk around now, and he will go home more often, otherwise, he will not be able to walk when he is old.

Now, my father is eighty years old, although there is no major problem with the body, but the pain in the waist and legs is still often committed, every time my father is sick, Xia Wei has to give my father a massage, and my father said: "My daughter is my parents' little padded jacket." ”

The same is true for her mother, Xia Wei feels that her mother is becoming more and more like a child, she will rely on Xia Wei very much, especially emotionally, she always minds other people's opinions and comments, and is always sullen for someone else's inconsequential words, Xia Wei will give her mother psychological counseling once she finds out.

Once dancing in the civic square, Xia Wei and her mother danced for a while and then went home, but before her mother was happy, her mother found a dancer to dance, and the dancer said: "I have someone waiting for me to dance, you can find someone else to dance." ”

The next day, my mother told Xia Wei angrily: "I won't dance anymore, it's too annoying." ”

Xia Wei looked at her mother in surprise and said, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”

My mother said unhappily: "After you left last night, I looked for flowers to dance, and she quietly didn't dance with me, she couldn't dance, and I was willing to dance with her because I could afford her." ”

Xia Wei burst out laughing and said, "Ah, my mother, how can you be angry about such a trivial matter, you also think about it, if the two of us dance well, and others come to invite me to dance, isn't it not good, besides, if the dance partner runs away angrily, who will she find to dance in the future, you can't dance with her every day, she has no choice, don't be angry." ”

After hearing Xia Wei's words, my mother immediately showed a smile and said, "Yes, yes, I thought she had an opinion about me." ”

Xia Wei hugged her mother's shoulders like coaxing a child and said, "Mom, you should be happy, don't think too much, everyone dancing is entertainment, and you can't be angry when you are angry." ”

Mom also smiled and said, "Well, I won't think about it, and I haven't offended her." ”

Xia Wei continued to persuade: "Aunt Hua'er is also very good, and she is also very polite to me, so don't think about it." ”

Xia Wei knew that her mother was behind her ears, and sometimes she would sulk when she heard someone else's words wrong, so Xia Wei patiently persuaded her, and every persuasion was successful. Sometimes there are misunderstandings between parents, and Xia Wei also resolves their misunderstandings.
