Chapter 924
"It's all old husbands and wives, and they're still so numb!" Grandma Lin smiled and said angrily, and she sighed again gracefully.
Old Man Lin said proudly, "It's too late for them to envy!" ”
Fang Monan and Lin Chengdong pursed their lips and snickered.
"Embroidery, sleep a little longer." Old Man Lin put her in his arms, folded the quilt, and the three of them walked out and sat down in the living room.
"How's it going?" Grandma asked, getting up from the couch.
"It's much better, I can eat it, I don't seem to hear her cry about neck pain." Old Man Lin smiled, grinning to the root of his ears.
"Whew! That's good! Grandma smiled, and the four of them sat down on the sofa again.
Fang Monan went to the kitchen to brew a few cups of tea and put them in front of their eyes one by one.
"Chengdong, if you don't go to rest for a while, it's uncomfortable on the plane." Old Man Lin persuaded, "If you take your mother's illness to heart, you will definitely be cured." ”
"No, it's already half the afternoon, let's sleep together at night!" Lin Chengdong shook his head and said, "I'm used to flying around a lot." ”
Saying that, Lin Chengdong stood up, stood respectfully in front of his grandmother, and bowed, "Aunt Mo, thank you for taking care of my dad for so many years." ”
Grandma hurriedly helped him up and said, "Eldest nephew, I can't help it, seriously speaking, we took advantage of it, my brother is a cultural person, he knows a lot, but he has taught my children less." Our family's prosperity is indispensable to my brother's teaching. ”
"Okay, it's all your own family, don't come to these false courtesies." Old Man Lin said with a smile.
Lin Chengdong's eyes flashed slightly, 'My own family! ’
"Don't think about it!" Old Man Lin whispered a warning to him sideways. "We'll talk about that later."
Lin Chengdong nodded when he saw this. There are some things he has to ask, this man!
Grandma's eyes were not in vain, but she said frankly, "Big nephew, don't be foolish, I respect my brother, but my brother, I have long hoped that my brother can find my sister-in-law's family to reunite!" ”
Lin Chengdong's dilemma has been seen through since he accepted the family business. It's really never been so embarrassing. Doesn't he remember that the people of the country are very reserved?
What elegance, what gentlemanly demeanor is gone, he said embarrassedly, "Aunt Mo." I didn't mean that. I ......"
"You stinky boy. Is that the kind of person your dad and I am? Old Man Lin was also embarrassed, and his eyebrows immediately stood up.
"Dad, I'm not thinking nonsense! Besides, you've been separated from your mom for so many years. Who knows if anything has changed. Lin Chengdong was still timid in front of him, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, almost inaudible.
"You really think of me as Chen Shimei." Saying that, Old Man Lin slapped him up.
How can grandma let him really fight! "Brother, it's good to say it's open, it's good to say it's open."
"Humph!" Old Man Lin turned around and ignored this unfilial son.
"Haha...... Uncle Lin, you really think that it's impossible to grandpa and grandma! Grandpa Godfather looks at your family photos every night, and falls asleep with a picture of your godgrandma, and you see that the photo frames have changed several times. Fang Monan revealed with a smile, "Grandpa Godon really misses you, we are just relatives, not his lover!" ”
Old Man Lin had a kind of dilemma of being exposed, and shouted, "Stinky girl, explain to him what you are doing!" That idiot. He blew his beard angrily and glared at his son.
"Dad, Aunt Mo, I was wrong, I was a villain." Lin Chengdong bowed and apologized.
"Okay, it's good to open it, the children in the province have a pimple in their hearts." Grandma said with a smile.
Lin Chengdong looked at Aunt Mo's frank eyes, and he was really ashamed to get into the cracks in the ground, but unfortunately there were no cracks here.
"Drink tea, drink tea." Grandma smiled, resolving the embarrassment.
Old Man Lin took a sip of tea angrily, and the anger was suppressed a little.
"Hmm!" Lin Chengdong took a sip of tea, "Good tea." ”
"Dad, you're too enviable these days!" Lin Chengdong had nothing to say.
"Otherwise, why do you think your father's body is so good, first, exercise, and second, there are good mountains and rivers here, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth." Old Man Lin smiled, "You're not too young, but you have to pay attention to your body." ”
"Take advantage of these few days, let Nan Yatou give you a good recuperation and recuperation." Old Man Lin said, he is always his son, and he can't finish his heart.
Fang Monan said with a smile, "Uncle Lin's work and rest are not very stable, and there are some small problems in the stomach, just take care of it." ”
For what Fang Monan said, Old Man Lin really agreed, but looking at his son, he was angry again, "Your mother's illness has not been discovered for a long time." ”
"Dad, this ......." Lin Chengdong stammered.
"Okay, brother, it's not to blame the eldest nephew, the current society is not like this, like me! My son and daughter are not around, I am working in other places, but fortunately, my granddaughter is with me, or I don't know if I starved to death at home that day. ”
"What are you talking about! There I am! I'll take you with me wherever I go. Fang Monan patted his grandmother's hand and said.
Grandma held Fang Menan's hand back, and the grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other, and everything was silent.
Lin Chengdong can be regarded as having found some reasons to make himself feel better, "Our family hired nannies, some of them are even worse, in the apartment building, some old people fell down and no one helped them, and they were lying on the cold floor for three days." The children are all working hard in the big city, and the elderly are left without anyone to take care of them, or they will be sent to nursing homes. The hearts of those who watch it are really ......."
Fang Monan sighed, "Entering the common problem of an aging society, pension has become a problem. Pension has really become a big problem.
Some people say that life is a stage.
Everyone has played their own role on this stage, and they have all experienced the ups and downs of life, joys and sorrows, and the vicissitudes of life...... However, it is all these things that people experience that make life wonderful. But all this 'wonderful' – even the pain, may be lost one day, it could be you, it could be me, it will be a world you have to face, the world of the elderly. When time becomes long. Life becomes a kind of torture; It was the unit door, or a few steps, that cut off the old man from the wonderful world outside.
In recent years, due to the improvement of living conditions, the elderly in urban areas have mostly lived separately from their children and moved into apartment buildings. The only person who really depends on each other in life is the old wife and children, and if you are widowed in your later years, then the blow can sometimes be fatal. ”
Mr. Lin echoed, "For our nation, which has always paid attention to the way of health preservation, the fear of aging and death may have a deeper psychological impact on us than other peoples. Because we don't believe in the existence of heaven. The God who is spiritually comforting to Westerners probably won't care about us - Westerners are enough for him!
Our grandmother doesn't love the Oriental people that my uncle doesn't love. The only way to put hope is to put hope in this life and this life. For many years, we have been tirelessly seeking all kinds of immortal techniques, from ancient swallowing gold pills to various modern anti-aging technologies, have our ancestors tried less? But it can't help us escape the fate of death. There is also no way to avoid going through those terrible tribulations before dying.
Raising children to prevent old age. It has remained the same for so many years. ”
"I'm not afraid of this. Family planning is not propaganda, 'only one child is good, and the government will provide for the elderly.'" In the past two years, the government has introduced pension insurance. Even if you don't have children around, the government helps the elderly, what are you afraid of if you have money. Grandma said.
"Poof......" Fang Monan unceremoniously sprayed the tea in his mouth.
"You kid? Am I saying that ridiculous? Grandma quickly took out a paper towel and cleaned up the tabletop.
Fang Monan waved his hand, "I'm fine." "People now believe in what the government says.
Old Man Lin said thoughtfully, "Even if all the external ones can feel at ease, the economy is not worried, some eat and drink, but it is always a pity not to have children by your side." Not to mention those who are precarious and working hard at the bottom, they haven't gotten rich yet! It's already old! ”
"Alas! There are many infatuated parents in ancient times, who has seen filial piety to their children and grandchildren! Old Man Lin sighed.
"The 'good song' in the Dream of Red Mansions." Fang Mo South Road.
"Dad, I'm ...... I'm ......," Lin Chengdong exclaimed embarrassedly.
"It's not your fault, society is like this, the faster the society develops, and it is also the time when the crisis of the elderly is the deepest, they are often victims, and they can only be sacrificed. Because society wants to ensure the overall development, in fact, it is in a state of powerlessness for the elderly.
And we are the victims. Hehe......"
Old Man Lin waved his hand and interrupted Lin Chengdong's words, "You're busy!" I understand that with so many jobs on their backs, young people now face huge survival pressure and challenges in life and work, need time to 'recharge', need to spend more energy than the older generation to participate in competition, physically and mentally exhausted, overdrawn, and 'can't afford to accompany the elderly'. On the other hand, many elderly people are reluctant to give up their living habits and ways, and the lifestyle of young people is becoming more and more different. One is idle, one is busy, one wants to be accompanied, and the other has no time to accompany, so the contradiction arises. ”
"The old ones were! Parents have not traveled far away, and now they want to get out of their control as soon as possible. It's not so easy to mix up outside. Grandma also sighed.
"Brother, our generation is fine, there are several sons and daughters, and when we wait for Nannan's generation, there will be only one, if this one can't be counted on, then it's really blind." Grandma said.
"I think there are a lot of blind people, and now among the parents of only children, I am afraid that there are not many people who can have superb educational methods, and most of us are more than spoiled and have insufficient teaching." Old Man Lin echoed.
Lin Chengdong looked at Fang Monan and helped, such a long sigh is not a way, they are very filial.
Fang Monan shrugged, and Lin Chengdong had no choice but to save himself, "Dad, what a superb educational method!" ”
"The movie "The Fox's Tale". As soon as the little foxes grew up, the mother fox kicked them out of the nest. The mother fox, who used to be very protective, suddenly changed her face, biting and chasing, and had to drive the little orphans away from home one by one, until the little fox turned back and left the house one by one.
The story seems cruel and even bleak. But this practice of the old fox did ensure the survival of two generations. The little fox has exercised its ability to live independently, and the old fox can no longer bear weight when it is old and weak. What a cruel psychological weaning! And this kind of survival education is very important for the little fox, because if it lives with its parents for a long time, the inertia of the creature itself will make him lose his ability to hunt. (To be continued......)
