Chapter 233: Interlude

When people get older, they sleep less.

I wake up before five o'clock in the morning, especially when the sun has not yet risen outside when the days are getting shorter and shorter.

Elderly people who live alone do not have the habit of lying in bed.

After I got up, I made a breakfast by myself with nothing to do, and after eating, I slowly began to tidy up the room and clean everywhere.

Because there's nothing else to do but that.

In this community, there were still some old people of the same age who were chatting or something, sitting together and nagging about their parents. But in the past few years, the family has moved out.

Some moved to other communities and rushed to school with their children.

Some... It was moved below.

Although Yang Jing, who is almost seventy, feels that her body is still quite strong, and she is not sick or sick, she feels that she has nothing to do.

Children don't need to worry about themselves.

And now... Not even a single one to speak was almost gone.

Although I don't have to worry about food and housing, I always feel that something is missing.

She even thought about renting out the house and then using the rental money to go to a nursing home, where maybe there were still some people to talk to her.

It's just that every time my children say, 'The nursing home is not a good place', 'You can't go anywhere you go to the nursing home'... But there is still no one to talk to her, and it is only possible to have a reunion during the New Year's holiday.

But... There will be a shortage of people every time.

She remembered that she hadn't seen her youngest son for five or six years. Even the last time we talked on the phone was three months ago... Although the youngest son on the other end of the phone spoke kindly, he didn't say anything about hanging up the phone or anything.

But she always felt a hint of impatience in her words, and it was always a letter to ask when she would come home to see.

She cleans her room when she is fine, but she lives alone in a room that cleans every day, for hours every day, what can be dirty?

Sit down on the couch and rest for a while.

I turned on the TV and let it ring so casually.

I don't have anything I want to see, but at least the room is not so empty.

Occasionally, she would think that she was alive... What else does it mean? Maybe it's good to pack up and spend time with your wife.

"Ding-dong-"

The sudden ringing of the doorbell brought her back to reality from her reverie.

"Here we go."

Turning down the volume on the TV, she walked to the door, wanting to see who it was, who was coming to the door? Or did his son and daughter want to surprise themselves and just come back?

Think of it this way.

The unguarded old man opened the door without looking at who was outside.

Her daughter said so about her, but according to her, it was...'It's all old bones, what's there to worry about.'" ’

She said this at the time and hoped that someone would come to accompany her more, but it seemed... No one noticed that, and she was a little embarrassed to say it.

"You are..."

Looking at the young man in front of the door carrying two bags of fruits, the old man had some doubts.

She felt something familiar with the face in front of her, but she couldn't remember who it was.

I couldn't help but feel that I was old and my memory was useless.

"Hello Mr. Yang, I'm Shuncen."

The pronunciation of "Shun Ceng..." is a little familiar, and I feel like I've heard it, but... Teacher Yang, there are also those who call themselves teachers... Was it a student you taught before you retired?

Think about it... My students at that time should have been about this age.

"Come in and sit down." The old man stepped aside and said with a smile, no matter what... At least now there is someone who can talk to him, and sure enough, alive, there are still good things to happen occasionally.

Shun Cen nodded and followed, then put the two bags of fruit aside and said, "Teacher Yang, I brought you some fruit." ”

"What kind of fruit are you taking here... Take it back when you leave, let me go, no one will eat it, and it will be spoiled. "The old man is not a polite remark, but it is really bad, she is old, and her teeth are not good.

You can also get a little fruit every day.

Although her children rarely come, every time they come, they come with a big bag of fruits, snacks and so on...

The refrigerator is full and put it in the warehouse, and a few days ago she picked out a few broken ones that had been broken for a long time and threw them downstairs, but now there are two big bags...

But looking at it like this, there should be something wrong with finding yourself, and if you don't accept it, you guess you're embarrassed to say.

So I accepted it with a little politeness, but it's a pity... It's a waste again.

She hates waste very much, but she can't help it after a long time, she can't eat bad and eat her stomach, and it will be more difficult to go to the hospital when the time comes.

"Come and see me, old lady, what's the matter?"

"Teacher Yang can see it... Haha..."

"Otherwise, I don't think you will come, how long have we not seen each other?" I can't remember who it is, but maybe I can remember it through his words.

"It's been more than ten years..."Shunzen said with a little uncertainty in his words.

"This time, I do have some things I want to ask Teacher Yang for help."

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, I have two relatives here, two little girls." Shun Cen looked at the old man in front of him and continued: "My family is very poor, I haven't attended elementary school, I don't understand what I see, I don't know what I don't know... It's going to be a little difficult to live here, so I wanted to find someone to at least teach them how to read. ”

"Don't know a word?"

"I don't know." Shunzen nodded.

"Alas, I didn't expect there to be such a place in the country now." The old man sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll walk with you." ”

Shun Cen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to agree so neatly.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some reading glasses." The old man stood up and walked towards his bedroom, and after a while, he walked out with a glasses case in his hand and a coat: "Let's go." ”

"Hmm." Shunzen has some things that I don't know what to say... She hasn't talked about salary, and Shuncen herself is a little embarrassed to speak...

However, the old man can be regarded as well-informed, and when he saw Shun Cen's appearance, he knew what he was probably thinking, and said with a smile: "I don't want your money, anyway, the old lady, I'm fine, just take a walk, and it can be regarded as looking for two to talk to." ”

"Let's go."

So saying, the old man took the key and opened the door.

However, not long after walking with Shuncen, she felt that something was wrong... Isn't that just... Next to the unit?

There are only two family buildings in this community, and her house is the second floor of the three-unit building, and now... The first floor of the second unit is? Is it so close, what students do you have here...

I remembered that it was his house.

Looking at the room in front of him, the old man finally remembered who Shun Cen was, and the door opened at this time.

She saw a girl holding a mop in one hand, looking at this side suspiciously, very cute.
