At noon, the shuttle bus finally came to the last stop - the southern suburbs of the nursing home station, Chen Mo got off the bus and looked at the surrounding environment, looking at the earth full of gray color, dry grass and potholes on the road all show how desolate it is, if it weren't for a three-story building standing in the distance, Chen Mo would even think that he had come to the primitive area.

The small building in the distance is made of bricks, the building is dark red, and the outer wall is written in white lime with the words "Southern Suburbs Nursing Home", and the font is very dim, it seems that it has experienced many years of wind and rain.

Chen Mo pulled his schoolbag and walked towards the door of the nursing home. When he came to the door, he found that the doorman was listening to Peking Opera playing on the radio. Daddy Chen used to like to listen to Peking Opera, Chen Mo spent a lot of time in his shop, and listened to a lot of Peking Opera with Daddy Chen.

Chen Mo was embarrassed to disturb other people's Yaxing, so he stood at the door and waited for a while, and when this Peking Opera was finished, he said: "Uncle, I am here to offer love, can you let me in?" ”

Hearing this, the old man helped the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then stared at Chen Mo and hesitated: "Love? Didn't you just give your love last month? Why is it here again? ”

The old man said this, looked behind Chen Mo, and wondered, "What about the others?" Why are you the only one? ”

Chen Mo explained: "I was entrusted by the class to come here to give love, and I am alone. ”

The old man sighed when he heard this, and then he stared at Chen Mo a little vigilantly, and asked, "Are you here to wash the feet of the old man and the old lady?" If that's the case, please go back, we don't welcome people here who come to wash everyone's feet. ”

Chen Mo asked in surprise: "Wash your feet?" What kind of feet do you wash? ”

The old man was also a little surprised when he heard this: "Aren't you here to wash your feet?" So what are you here for? ”

Chen Mo was a little confused by the old man, he sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "I'm here to give love, not to wash everyone's feet, and it doesn't have to be to wash everyone's feet, right?" ”

The old man was still a little surprised: "I'm not here to wash my feet...... So what are you doing here? ”

Chen Mo felt very powerless, and he emphasized again: "Uncle, there are many other ways to give love besides washing your feet, such as chatting and playing chess with everyone, or anyone who is in trouble can provide some financial help, or—"

As soon as Chen Mo said this, the old man interjected: "What's the matter, you still give money?" ”

Chen Mo touched the more than 1,000 yuan earned from setting up a stall in his pocket, and said in his heart: Something is wrong with the situation, why does the old man care so much about providing financial assistance? Could it be that he is playing with the idea of money?

Chen Mo thought of this and said ambiguously: "It's not impossible to give money, but it depends on the situation, if there is indeed difficulty, I will help, if there is no difficulty, of course I will not give it." ”

Chen Mo is ready to retreat first, in case he waits for someone to ask for money, he can still use this excuse to refuse, after all, the initiative of "depending on the situation" is in his own hands, and whoever he says is not qualified will not be qualified.

As soon as Chen Mo thought of this, the old man suddenly sighed and said, "I finally met someone who really came to offer love, young man, you wait, I'll open the door for you." ”

Chen Mo was quite curious when he heard this, and said in his heart: What does it mean to finally meet someone who has come to truly give love? Could it be that the people who came here in the past were all hypocritical?

When the old man opened the door, Chen Mo asked, "Old man, listen to what you just said, everyone who came here before had problems?" ”

The old man sighed and said helplessly: "It's not what's wrong, every year when it comes to the New Year's holiday, there are always some social units that organize personnel to come to us to offer love, saying that it is to offer love, in fact, it is just a formality, and even sometimes their behavior will hurt the elderly here of us, for example, when the Double Ninth Festival is celebrated this year, many schools organize students to come to us to engage in activities to respect and love the elderly. When there are many people, the people who wash the feet of the old man and the old lady still line up one by one, and the most old man has been washed eleven times in a day, and the feet are all washed and peeled, because of the infection, and finally he is admitted to the hospital, what do you say! ”

Chen Mo finally understood why the old man was so wary of himself just now, it was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, so he was very surprised, the old man looked at him in a daze, so he said with a smile: "Young man, I think you are also an honest person, so I will remind you now, you wait to go in, don't mention the matter of washing your feet with those old men and old ladies, everyone is very disgusted by this, last month because of this incident, a school teacher and students were blown away, and secondly, don't ask about the situation at home, The old man and the old lady are very sensitive to this, and they will feel uncomfortable when they hear this, and don't say false words, just do more practical things, those old men and old ladies are very fine, whether you really come to give love they can see at a glance. ”

Chen Mo was quite amused when he heard this, and said in his heart: In the past few years, it has to be like an underground party to come to the nursing home to give love, but this uncle obviously knows the situation here better than himself, and he still has to listen to what people say.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely pay attention." ”

Chen Mo said hello to the old man, and then walked into the nursing home, after coming in, he looked at the environment in the yard, and found that the yard was overgrown with weeds, the cold wind blew, and the fallen leaves all over the ground danced with the wind.

Looking into the distance, the pavilion in the courtyard has long been dilapidated, the tiles on it have fallen off a lot, and several stone chairs and stone benches have been submerged in the depths of the grass.

Chen Mo glanced around, but he didn't see an old man, it is estimated that because the weather is relatively cold, the old people stayed in the house and did not come out.

Chen Mo sighed, and said in his heart: I was originally going to wait to go to the orphanage, but now it seems that the orphanage can't go, so let's put this place in order first.

Chen Mo thought of this and went back to the guard's room, borrowed some tools from the doorman, and then he began to clean up the weeds and fallen leaves in the yard, and did not stop his work until it was dark. The shuttle bus was about to end, and if he didn't catch the last train, he wouldn't have a place to stay at night.
