Chapter 575: Encountering an Old Man

When Su Zhe walked out of the martial arts hall, he found that the wooden cart he saw next to the door at noon was now gone.

The wooden cart may have been pulled away, Su Zhe didn't think much about it, it wouldn't affect him anyway, it was just a small matter, so he just paid attention to it and went to drive.

Because at this time, An Xin was still waiting for Su Zhe to come home for dinner, so Su Zhe wanted to rush home as much as possible.

Soon, Su Zhe drove out, but he hadn't driven long before he encountered the first red light, so he had to stop the car first and wait for the red light to pass.

At this moment, Su Zhe suddenly saw the elderly sanitation worker in the morning on the side of the road, but the little boy who accompanied her in the morning is now nowhere to be found, and I don't know where the little boy ran at this time, why he was not by his grandmother's side.

At this time, the old man was no longer pulling a sanitation garbage truck, but he was pulling a wooden cart that Su Zhe saw at noon, full of discarded wooden planks.

It was not until this time that Su Zhe knew that the wooden cart that was placed next to the entrance of the martial arts hall belonged to this old man, although the foreman told Su Zhe that these waste wooden planks were wanted by a sanitation worker, but Su Zhe did not expect that it was the old man who wanted it.

Because Su Zhe couldn't figure out what the old man wanted for these wooden planks, he didn't think of going to this aspect, thinking that other sanitation workers wanted to go.

The cart was full of discarded planks, which made the burden heavy, and now all the burden was on the thin shoulders of the old man.

The old man pulled up the wooden cart with both hands and shoulders, and the wooden planks were now piled much higher than the old man's, and you can imagine how heavy they were. How much strength does the old man need to exert to pull the wooden cart?

An old man struggling to walk. Every step was very difficult and hard. The walking speed was very slow, and the old man needed to rest for a while after each part of the walk, but thinking that the little boy was still waiting for her to go back to cook at home, the old man gritted his teeth and pulled up the wooden cart and continued to move forward.

The old man was now able to pull the cart forward with all his perseverance, thinking of the little boy.

At this time, the red light turned green, and Su Zhe hurriedly drove the car across the road. However, Su Zhe did not leave, but parked the car where parking was allowed, and then Su Zhe got out of the car and ran in the direction of the old man.

"Grandma, I'll help you." Su Zhe ran to the old man's side and said.

"No need, I'll do it myself, you go home first, your family is still waiting for you." The old man shook his head and politely refused.

The old man was embarrassed to accept a stranger's help for no reason. That's why he refused Su Zhe's kindness.

"It's okay, I'm going to go home this way. By the way, I was able to get some exercise. Su Zhe smiled.

"But you've been working all day, and you should be very tired now, go home and rest first, Grandma can push it home by herself." The old man still refused, she thought that Su Zhe should have just gotten off work, and she should be very tired after a busy day at this time, how could she be embarrassed to ask Su Zhe to help.

However, Su Zhe couldn't help but say that he had taken over the old man's wooden cart, and then Su Zhe pulled it up before saying, "I have a lot of strength, don't worry I'll be tired." ”

At this time, the old man was no longer able to refuse Su Zhe's kindness, and she saw that Su Zhe was indeed very relaxed, as if the wooden planks of this car were not effortless for Su Zhe at all, so she accepted Su Zhe's kindness, and just said thank you vigorously in front of Su Zhe.

After Su Zhe pulled it up, he knew how much this car weighed, although the weight was nothing to him, but for ordinary people, especially the elderly, they were already so old, so the weight of this car was not so easy.

Such a heavy car, since the old man wanted to pull it home by himself, and listening to the old man's tone, this was what she often did, thinking of this, Su Zhe's heart couldn't help but sink, and her heart was very depressed for a while, I don't know how many times heavier than the weight of the wooden planks.

Su Zhe didn't tie the rope of the wooden cart to his shoulders like the old man to share the pressure, Su Zhe just relied on his own hands to pull up the wooden cart lightly, as if he didn't use much strength, he was still at ease.

Now Su Zhe can lift more than 2,000 kilograms of heavy objects, although the wooden planks are very heavy, but compared to Su Zhe's strength, it is nothing, so naturally Su Zhe will not feel the pressure.

If it weren't for the fact that this wooden cart was already full of wooden planks and there was no place for it, otherwise, Su Zhe still wanted the old man to sit on it, and he pulled the old man home.

However, since there is no room for the wooden cart now, Su Zhe can only give up and give up this idea.

Su Zhe was chatting with the old man while pulling the wooden cart, during which Su Zhe sent a message to An Xin that he would not be able to go home until later and let her eat first. In order to take care of the old man's body, Su Zhe deliberately slowed down his pace so that the old man would not be so tired from walking.

Through the chat with the old man, Su Zhe knew what the old man wanted to do with these discarded wooden planks, and it turned out that the old man wanted these wooden planks to be used as firewood to boil water and cook rice.

Su Zhe didn't expect that the old man's home still relied on these firewood to boil water and cook, which can imagine the usual life of the old man and the little boy.

In addition, Su Zhe also knew that the little boy he saw in the morning was the grandson of the old man, who had grown up with the old man since he was a child, but the old man did not mention the little boy's parents, and Su Zhe did not ask, but only knew that the little boy's nickname was Yangyang.

The little boy is very sensible and obedient, never quarrels with the elderly, and gets up early every day to go out with his grandmother to sweep the floor, and also goes to pick up waste to help the family.

There are only two people in the family, the old man and the little boy, all the burden is on the old man, and the expenses of the family are supported by the old man as a sanitation worker.

The salary of the old man as a sanitation worker is only 1,000 to 1,200 yuan per month, and the old man also needs to save some money from this small salary to use it for the little boy's future school tuition.

The old man's words seemed to have a thousand burdens, and every sentence seemed to turn into a stone, pressing on Su Zhe's heart, making his heart very uncomfortable.

Su Zhe knew that the government had a living allowance for families like the elderly, but it seemed that the elderly did not know how to apply for subsidies, so they could only rely on their own hands to obtain the income from their labor. (To be continued......)
