This made Zhu Yushen feel a little puzzled, but Zhu Ying just kept staring at the old man for a few minutes. After the people left, she exhaled and asked, "Da Zhu, did you see it just now?" That's one of the few ways for the elderly to make money! In the past, my mother was like other young people, who were all day long, shouting and drinking, turning a blind eye and indifference to these people living in the dark corners of society, that is, despising these people very much.

But now it's different. First, I read a shocking remark on the Internet not long ago, which means that whenever you see an elderly person picking up garbage in a trash can and digging out something that is not worth a few, how many people can think that it may be a dress rehearsal for your own old age? My flesh, this is really palpitating!

I didn't think much of it at the time, though. But not this time, and since I went home and witnessed the new situation, I reorganized my perception. Because my ancestors are already doing this errand!

I remember a few years ago, when they were still in good health, they were also dismissive of this. Because at that time, they still had some ability, and they had a few anti-aging money in their hands, and there were still ways to make money. When there is a way, who will pick up something in the garbage heap? Is there gold to be found there?

However, now the ancestors are not able to do so. They are unfilial to their sons and daughters, they don't care about them, they don't care about them, and they have nothing to do except complain. And the little pension money they worked so hard to save at the beginning is no longer worth much due to the impact of inflation.

This time. Due to the old age of the person. I don't have the strength anymore. In addition to doing some light farm work to survive, picking up garbage has become a good way for them to make money. However, due to the serious aging of the population in various parts of our country, garbage picking has become a fierce competition.

Luckily, my ancestors lived near a county dumping site. Therefore, they got up early every day, first turned over the garbage heap at the entrance of the village, and then hurried to the big garbage heap. Grab business with many peers. Every time, they searched carefully, dug and picked hard.

Yesterday, I told them that they could do whatever they wanted, because it wasn't a good job. Why do you get up early every day and rush to get there?

Who knows, my ancestors were so angry when they heard this. Grandpa said that I have a virtue with my father, and I enjoy their blessings, but I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I am still dead and particular about nothing! It belongs to people who do not have back pain when they stand and talk; Grandma even scolded me and said that if I didn't hurry up now. It's not even hot to eat! Because after people take the lead, you don't have a chance.

My flesh smack. I was really angry when I heard that, but I couldn't get angry with my ancestors. I'm just asking them, is this hot better than cold? I mean that obviously, that is, I despise them for picking up garbage.

What I didn't expect was that it was this sentence that I blamed them for the inappropriate metaphor that completely turned them angry. They told me not to die in the future, because the grade is different, and they can't entertain me when I go back. After saying this, they ignored me. Therefore, I returned to Yushan District from my hometown depressed today. Alas, my hometown, I feel sad when I think of it! When he said this, they were both silent.

Zhu Yushen recalled the times he spent with his ancestors and father at this time. A faint ache welled up in his heart, because his ancestors and father were long gone. Zhu Ying seemed to understand Zhu Yushen's mood, and she asked, "Da Zhu, what do you think about, why is your face so ugly?" Oh, I see, your hometown should be worse off than I am. Therefore, your nostalgia is even more irresolvable.

Da Zhu, I don't know if you remember that poem, it was written by a poet in Taiwan. He said that when he was a child, nostalgia was a narrow ticket, I was on this side of the river, and my mother was on the other side; Years later, homesickness became a cold tombstone, with me outside and my mother inside...... I guess that's how it was written, and I don't remember it very well.

I think it's really embarrassing to combine the sorrow expressed in that poem with our current life. Even though both of our mothers are still alive, we can hardly go back to them. Besides, they're all old now.

And the poet's description of the old age and his mother's yin and yang separation scene is always going to be staged. At that time or later, there must have been other relatives who were going to play out that scene. Don't say that you have to cut off your liver and intestines when you encounter this matter, it's a natural and helpless thing.

It's just that this hometown is not easy to go back to, how can this homesickness be discarded? Of course, in addition to the confusion caused by relatives, homesickness is also the reason for hometown. My hometown is now unrecognizable. This is because many of the hillsides, land, and fields there have been acquired. As for what it looks like, it can only be up to others' wishes.

My ancestors have been sad lately, and there is another reason, and that is that they are worried about where they will finally end. We are in a plain area, and it is rare to see a small hill. And not far from our hometown, there happens to be such a hill. Because the terrain is higher than other places, it is not easy for water to flood, and it is an ideal place for the elderly to return after a hundred years.

However, it has become more and more difficult for the elderly to return there. On the one hand, this is because there are more and more people, which leads to insufficient space; On the other hand, in order to build a planned belt of cash crops, it is necessary to cut down some of the slopes. In this way, the ancestors and other people in their twilight years who have few days to go will have to compete with each other if they want to end up there. The competition is surely getting more and more intense.

Taking a step back, if you don't go there, there's really no decent place to go anywhere else. The ancestors were very worried about this, but they didn't know who to vent their fire, so they became more and more in a bad mood. In addition to the annoyance of the destination, there is another reason why the ancestors are in a bad mood, and that is the fear of death.

If there is no afterlife, it is definitely enough for these two old and declining people. Think of them in the prime of life. How strong! for they are of their own. He actually single-handedly pulled me, a grandchild.

Therefore. At that time they were convinced that man would conquer heaven, and that there was nothing to fear. And make fun of those old people who have declined for believing in this god and that god, is it interesting to say that all those things? Can you make money? Can you make life better?

But when they got to where they are, they don't say that anymore. Recently, they also want to follow others in believing in a certain religion from the West, and try to use it as a lifeline for them. I wonder if their mental state will be better in the future.

However, my parents, who were still in poor health, were now unwilling to do the same things as their ancestors. My father recently returned to his hometown. I had a few big fights with others over the fields at home. Later, he called me and told me to find out the boundaries of the remaining fields in my house. And do everything possible to protect those fields, so that no kind-hearted people in the village can occupy them.

He said that he suddenly remembered that his ancestors had reminded him of this. That is, when his ancestors lamented to him that there was no good place to return in a hundred years, he was deeply inspired. After all, he is also a person who has been out there, and he knows that people like him are not acceptable to the city at all.

Although I now have to go to the city for most of the year to earn a living, when I get older, my grandparents are the same age as they are now. Where else could he go? He also considered where he would end up in a hundred years. He said that the place of home in the city was too expensive, and it was getting more and more expensive. It's something he doesn't dare to hope for.

At the same time, because there is a saying that the fallen leaves return to their roots, he will definitely return to his hometown. Although he has not done anything filial to his father so far, it is necessary to unify with his ancestors after a hundred years, so as to watch over them.

It is gratifying that after the last quarrel, my father and his matter have basically been implemented, so there is no need to worry about it in the future, okay......" Speaking of this, Zhu Ying's eyes were full of tears. Zhu Yushen's eyes also fogged. Then they dispersed in silence.

A week later, Zhu Yushen received a call from Shen Bing. After a few words of greeting, Shen Bing suddenly changed the topic to the other end of the phone and said, "Yushen, you came to me last week and walked in too much hurry. I didn't react when you left. Originally, I was going to leave you here for lunch, but I was so busy with your cousin's business that I was dizzy.

Do you know? As soon as you left that day, I met your mother outside the police station, and your mother looked quite pitiful. She knows me, because on the day you got married, I was responsible for inviting her, and I pestered her for most of the day. Your mother told me to tell you that she wanted you to visit her every other time. Because she is getting older, the situation at home is getting worse and worse.

She said that although she didn't treat you well when you were young, she hoped you wouldn't worry about her, because she was your mother after all! She wants you to serve her as other children do to their mothers when she is old. Because there's almost nothing she can do but count on you.

Yushen, I know it's not easy for you either, so I don't fully agree with what your mother said. That's why I didn't call you right away that day, or even drag you back. As for how to do it, you can do it. ”

After Zhu Yushen heard what Shen Bing said, his mood became extremely heavy. He told Shen Bing that it was not far from the time of the school's winter vacation. When the time comes, he is going to visit his mother once. If his mother needed any help, he would do his best.

When Shen Bing heard Zhu Yushen say, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother, we are all the same." Although we haven't dealt with our own people's affairs yet, that is, we haven't mixed them up yet, the old ones have already become a burden on us.

It happened a little suddenly, but there was nothing we could do about it. Think about it, if my father had such a big problem in another ten years or even more, then it would not be like this, it is really impossible to deal with it!

But it's useless to complain too much, life has to live.

I'm single again, and that's unfortunate! Think about the early years, how high-spirited I was! I really didn't expect that at such an age, I would be such a mess! ”

Zhu Yushen comforted Shen Bing and said, "Don't be pessimistic, because you are still young." Moreover, you are also very prosperous in the police station. You're sure to find a better wife, and the better days are ahead! ”

Shen Bing just laughed when he heard this.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yushen didn't know if what he had just said could comfort Shen Bing. He found that he now spoke in the style of Jin Jun and Zhu Ying, and he was also a little cynical. But that's exactly what he hoped in his heart. His intuition told him that the future of himself and Shen Bing was hopeful.

However, there are some things that do not allow for such optimism. At this time, Zhu Yushen remembered that Wang Danbao's final destination was nowhere to be found, and the situation was the same as what Zhu Ying said about her home in the north.

When recalling what Zhu Ying said about homesickness, Zhu Yushen felt that his homesickness was also stimulated. His nostalgia includes what Shen Bing told him about his mother, as well as his attachment to the homeland of Huangzhen and the constant affection between him and his homeland. In the future, his homesickness may dissolve in constant running, but sorrow cannot be dissolved. (To be continued......)
