Cui Dalin got off the train in the provincial capital, first went to the ecological agriculture demonstration base in the suburbs, handed over the investigation report he had drafted and the materials he had collected to the relevant leaders of the base, and then hurried to his home.

In addition to going to the demonstration base to make a difference, accompany his parents for the Spring Festival, and participate in the wedding of the pillar, he also had to stay in the county seat for two days to see a house that Erlin wanted to buy.

Erlin called Dalin a few days ago to tell Dalin that there is a pre-sale of a real estate near the county nursing home, the price is not too cheap, the three-bedroom and two-living room suite is nearly 300,000 yuan, and the down payment will be more than 80,000 yuan.

After living in Beijing for a long time and experiencing high housing prices, Dalin felt that the suite of 300,000 yuan was really not expensive, and he almost did not hesitate to say that he would let Erlin also book a set as soon as possible, and this time he came back to discuss with him about pooling money to buy a house.

Dalin knew that Zhao Lianming and they had been very busy recently, so he took a long-distance bus from the provincial capital to the county seat, and spent two yuan at the county bus station to call an electric tricycle, and went directly to the nursing home.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the nursing home, Dalin's mobile phone rang, it was Yang Qiuping calling, she asked Dalin to pay attention to his body in his rural hometown, and asked him to ask the elderly at home how they were. Dalin and Qiuping have kept in touch in many ways, the midwinter in the Central Plains is freezing and cold, and Dalin feels hot in his heart after answering his girlfriend's call.

The nursing home was converted from the site of a small school, and now there is no shadow of the school, the classrooms have been divided into dormitories, there are single rooms, double rooms, and husband and wife rooms, each room has a bathroom, and the husband and wife room also has a small kitchen, you can cook and eat by yourself. The basketball court has no ball racks, some fitness equipment has been installed, and several large open spaces in front of and behind the house have been leveled to prepare for planting flowers and grass after the beginning of spring next year.

When Dalin arrived at the nursing home, Erlin was busy in the financial room, he led Dalin into his single dormitory, put down the things that Dalin brought back, rested for a while, and the brothers went to see Zhao Lianming together.

Dalin was startled when he saw Zhao Lianming's appearance in the dean's office, and asked him in surprise: "I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, why did you lose weight like this?" ”

Zhao Lianming smiled bitterly and said disapprehantly: "You don't know much about the work at the grassroots level, the bitterness and happiness are uneven, some people don't have much to do when they go to work during the day, and some people still can't live in peace after work at night, and there is always work that can't be done." I was born with a hard life, I like to be busy and afraid of idleness, and the construction of nursing homes is really worrying. Respecting the old and loving the young is the glorious tradition of the Chinese nation, the young children are the flowers, the elderly are the fruits, the flowers are delicate, we must take care of them, the fruits are precious, and we must carefully harvest them. There is no other choice to work in this position, and to serve the elderly is to be willing to be a 'filial son and grandson', regardless of remuneration, and work hard. In order to meet the requirements of the masses, we have accepted seven or eight elderly people in advance, and when I see these old people today, I think of our own tomorrow. Some of the elderly are really pitiful, there is an old lady who is seventy-nine years old this year, she is sober and confused, she can help her family do some work when she is sober, she and pee everywhere when she is confused, and sometimes she grabs her own feces and stuffs it into her mouth, his family is tireless, her daughter and daughter-in-law found me and said, no matter how much it costs to send the old man over, after the old man comes in, we arrange a special person to accompany her, when she is sober, she grabs the big iron door that the nursing home closes every day with both hands, and shouts hoarsely over and over again: ' I miss my grandson, I want to go home, I miss my grandson, I want to go home------ 'The voice was desolate, the words were crying blood, and the nursing staff couldn't pull it back. There is also an old man, who is only 71 years old this year, half paralyzed, incontinent, his son and girl are all doing business in other places, and he lives with his nephew. When his son heard that our nursing home was about to open, he rushed back from out of town last month and begged us to accept his old father first. His nephew and niece-in-law came to the nursing home the day before yesterday, ready to take him home for the Spring Festival, he saw his nephew and his wife, and was so frightened that he hugged the head of the bed with both hands and did not let go, crying desperately: 'I don't go home, I don't go home!' I heard that his son had given his nephew a lot of money before, but his nephew and daughter-in-law were reluctant to spend money for the old man, and the food he ate was similar to that of a pig, and when the old man cried out that he was thirsty, his nephew and daughter-in-law often let him drink cold water. ”

Zhao Lianming said, his eyes were actually red. He then said to Dalin: "In this life, people are full of hope day by day and look forward to their children and grandchildren growing up, and day by day they unconsciously grow old, and the 'growing up' of children and grandchildren is exchanged for the 'aging' of their elders. There are also many children who do not want to take care of the elderly, but they do not have the conditions to manage them, they make a living and make money outside, and it is difficult to solve the problems of adult housing and children's schooling, and it is impossible to bring the elderly into the city to live together. ”

Dalin asked Zhao Lianming: "Some children can't or don't want to take care of their old people, can your staff be dedicated to the old people they don't know?" ”

Erlin saw that his brother and Zhao Lianming had something to say when they met, so he went back to the finance room to settle accounts.

Zhao Lianming said to Dalin: "On this year's Double Ninth Festival, our county held an activity to select 'filial piety stars', and several of the staff we recruited were selected from the filial piety stars in various towns and villages. I told the staff that I dare to take over the burden of the director of the nursing home, and I am ready to treat the old people as my parents, grandparents, and grandparents, you work here, you can't treat the old people as your own old people, at least you must treat the old people as your relatives or neighbors, and serve them warmly and carefully. To tell the truth, those of us who work here are motivated, and my salary as the dean is less than 3,000 yuan a month, and the salaries of other staff members are even lower, and almost all of the people who work outside the home earn more than us. Not only is the pay not high for working here, but the work is also very tiring, and we have almost no concept of weekends, and we are guaranteed to have no rest on Saturdays and Sundays. Of course, enthusiasm alone is not enough to do a good job, and our staff are undergoing rotational training to learn a minimum of nursing knowledge and develop a high work ethic. ”

Dalin was moved by Zhao Lianming's words, and said affectionately: "Although I have decided to develop in Beijing in the future, I still want to come back to help you when I see your hard work!" ”

Zhao Lianming said understandingly: "It's enough to have your words, Beijing has a vast world, many opportunities, and good prospects, so you should work there with peace of mind." Some people say that the two main reasons why people are busy are that they are not worried about their own affairs, and the other is that they always worry about other people's affairs. I don't have any worries about my own family affairs now, I still have to worry about other people's affairs, and now I have to do other people's affairs as my own. I really can't be idle and very tired when I think of the living arrangements of hundreds of elderly people in the future, but I am very happy to see that the few elderly people who have just come in can regard me as their relatives, and some of the elderly people trust me and other staff more than their own children. ”

Cui Dalin nodded after listening to Zhao Lianming's words, and pointed to the words pasted on the wall above him behind him, "Clear as Qiu Ju, why is it thin, as cheap as Dongmei, not afraid of cold", and said with emotion: "I believe that you can serve the old people wholeheartedly and do the work of the nursing home better and better."
