Chapter 504: The Old Man Says
Although the old lady's health is very good, as an elder, she is a guest in the junior's house, although she has a purpose, but she can't go directly to the child's house to check, after all, she is here as a guest, and by the way, she wants to see if she can help.
However, as an elder, of course, he also knows that things have priorities, although he cares about Lin Juan and Xu Guodong's affairs, but this old man originally wanted to come to Lin Laosan's house to see this little doll with a strange disease.
It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the rural people at that time, except for some people who are not social, or belong to different circles, can not be integrated together at all, and the relationship between other people is very good.
The old man has a clear purpose, and if they come to visit like them, they don't have to play the politeness of being false and wronged.
"The third family, what happened to your doll?"
At this time, the daughter-in-law of the third Lin walked into the house and put a glass of water next to the old lady, but as soon as she put the water cup next to the old lady, she heard the old lady ask.
At that moment, the hand shook and almost spilled the water in the water cup on the ground, although it stabilized in time and put the cup on the table, but it still spilled a lot of water.
"Old woman, why did you remember to ask about this?"
The woman's expression was a little unnatural, a little nervous, obviously she didn't expect that this old woman would directly mention the matter of her child as soon as she entered the door, this child's matter is very secretive in their family, except for a few people who went to find the child with Lin Laosan that day, the other people didn't know anything about this matter.
And after Lin Laosan returned home, he never mentioned to anyone that there was any problem with his children, even those who went to find the children with Lin Laosan should not know the problems of the children very well.
Yes, there is indeed a problem with their children, and it is a very serious problem, but how can this news be known to outsiders?
The woman's expression was very stiff, and the corners of her mouth twitched, which was very unnatural.
Judging from the tone and expression of this old woman, this old woman does not seem to be hearsay, and she got a little gossip, which is clearly for the sake of their children.
What to do?
The woman forced her composure, but her heart was flustered, and she never expected such a thing to happen.
How else to say that people are old and fine?
The news of this old man was clearly heard from the mouth of the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and there was nothing wrong with saying that it was hearsay, but the old lady's calm expression and interrogation-like tone seemed to understand this matter very thoroughly.
The somewhat cloudy eyes, at this moment, seemed to bloom with endless brilliance in the woman's eyes.
It was a feeling of being seen through, a secret that had been hidden for a long time suddenly exposed to the sun, and all the darkness that had been obscured in an instant, just like the dew that appeared in the morning, disappeared the moment the sun came out.
"Where's the baby? Take me to see it."
The old lady did not drink the hot water that the woman had brought, but struck twice on the ground with her cane, got up, and tried to go to the back room.
The house in the countryside does not have too many complex structures, and it is not divided into several courtyards before and after the Suzhou building, turn left when you enter the door, it is the main house, the house is a big kang, go straight in from the door, it is the stove in the house, and the right is another small room, which is usually used to put some things.
And in this courtyard, there is another small house, which is commonly known as the side house.
The old lady looked around the room and determined that the child, if not in the small room to the right of the main house, was in the side room.
And before the daughter-in-law of the Li family said that Widow Lu saw the child in Lin Laosan's house, and the guest came to the door, and she definitely couldn't take the guest to the side room, so there was only one explanation, the child was placed on the right side of the main house, which was originally used to store things in the room.
"Old girl, what are you..."
Lin Laosan's daughter-in-law subconsciously blocked in front of the old lady, raised her hands empty, raised and put down, very embarrassed, and didn't know what to say to stop the old man's actions.
As a junior, it is indeed a bit rude to directly refuse the kindness of the elderly, but sometimes the kindness of the elderly will also bring trouble to themselves.
It's like we often hear some elders give you all kinds of opinions and ideas in a tone that is particularly caring for you, asking you to do this and that.
It's just a state of me doing it for your good.
Are they for your good?
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, because from their minds, they think that doing it is for your own good, and that's what makes you better.
They use what they have experienced, the age they live in, and all kinds of social experiences and human contacts that you have not experienced or not experienced, to convince themselves that this thing is for your own good.
But in reality?
A large part of what they do will not make you grateful, because that kind of thing will cause you a lot of trouble, so that your original thoughts, original plans will be infinitely discouraged, and even they will directly deny your plans, your life, your work, your actions and your efforts.
When you refuse, you will begin to persuade endlessly, saying that I have eaten more salt than you have eaten, and that the bridge you have walked is longer than the road you have walked.
Let them use their way of behaving, using their social experience to tell you what is right, what is wrong, what is suitable for you, they will never think about what you need, consider your mood, because this kind of thing is not something that all people need to worry about.
When many people look at a thing, they often rarely think about what efforts others have made in this matter and how much effort they have put in, and most of them will only pay attention to the outcome of the matter.
You do it, then you try, and you fail, and then the people who don't support you will jump out and accuse you, and say, "Hey, how's that?" I'll just say that this matter can't be done, and if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. ”
And then when you're depressed and hit by failure, they'll start to make you follow their whims and do things that they think are good.
Wrong or right, they don't care, they only care if you do what they think you do.
You listen and you do it, and then it doesn't work as well as you imagined, and they will jump out and comfort you and tell you that this world is like this, and this life is the life you can have.
When encountering difficulties, twists and turns, and unsolvable things, they will use their own experiences to tell you that this is life, and we must accept it.
Many people have lost their ideals in this process, and they have no dreams, just like stones full of edges and corners, which have become smooth and round in the polishing and appeasement again and again, and the pebbles on the river beach, lying there quietly, no one will know which piece once looked down on the sea of clouds on the cliff, and which piece has been buried in the ground for thousands of years.
All ideals are gone, and we eventually become ordinary, like everyone around us, living, working, repeating the same life day after day, swiping on our phones in boredom, clicking on an even more boring video, and laughing happily.
Life has worn out many people's grandiose heads, and many people have begun to become gregarious, which is a good thing and a bad thing, and we have no ability to change, so we choose to be compliant.
Gradually, we adapted to life, in addition to being busy, the rest of the time became a salted fish, lying under the sun, quietly accepting the scorching of the sun, tired, tired, not wanting to move, and then someone turned us over, even if there was a huge change in life, but it didn't take long for the days to become the same as before, and there was not much difference.
The difference may be that in the process of turning over, we have lost some of the things we cherished before.
