The side room is not big or small, there are two beds opposite, and the beds are also erected with large wooden shelves supporting mosquito nets, mosquito nets still can't hide the yellow stains left by the years in the half-light and half-dark room, and there is a small wooden window open at the wall on the side of the bed head, because it is already noon, the sun has run to the roof, and what shines in is still a few beams of white light that tumble and dance like the living room, falling on the concrete floor in the narrow aisle between the two beds in the house.

An old man in his seventies, with some yellow endings floating in his messy short hair, probably came back to take care of his wife after carrying firewood. He was wearing a white short-sleeved sweatshirt, holding a bowl of green vegetable porridge, and was feeding it to the mouth of the old lady lying on the bed spoonful by spoonful, and saw Principal Wu and Yun Feng who followed him, with their teeth open, and a smile on Li Hei's face like a blooming daisy, put the bowl on the windowsill next to his elbow, stood up and greeted:

"Ah, Principal Wu, Mayor Town, you're all here, let's go, go outside for tea."

"No, Old Man Wang, you're busy, you're busy, Old Lady Wang hasn't finished eating yet, right?"

Principal Wu hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Go, go, I've eaten. Principal Wu, you help greet everyone, you say that I am an old bone, I just can't get up. ”

The old lady Wang who was lying on the bed also opened her mouth to speak, and a few long strands of white hair with black in the middle were scattered on the pillow.

"Ouch, you need to lie down and rest! Mr. Wang, don't worry about us, we just came over today to see you and your family to see if there is anything we need help with. ”

Principal Wu comforted Mrs. Wang, who was lying on the bed, and then turned his face and pressed the shoulders of Old Man Wang, and asked the old man to sit on the edge of the bed again.

"Hey, there's nothing to help, my wife is getting better, and I and my two children can do other housework, that is, if you don't dislike it, just cook and eat here, I'm afraid you will have to do it with Principal Wu, I'm afraid what I do is not delicious!"

Old Man Wang opened his mouth with open teeth, but he spoke very neatly.

"If you don't eat, you won't eat, just look at you and see you."

The mayor of the town said as he turned around and walked out with Principal Wu.

"Hey, hey, hey, why don't you pour tea for your uncles. Ahem, this baby is shy when she sees so many people. ”

Old Man Wang followed out of the living room, and when he saw four or five young people standing in the living room waiting, he shouted to the little boy who had already hid at the door and continued to pick vegetables.

"No, no, no."

Everyone waved their hands.

"No, no, no, if you don't eat, you won't eat, you must sit down and drink a sip of water! Otherwise, I will look down on my old man. ”

Old Man Wang took the hands of Principal Wu and the mayor of the town, and said that he would not let him go.

"Okay, okay, okay, everyone sit, all sit, and talk to Old Man Wang for a while."

The mayor saw that Old Man Wang was in a hurry, so he waved his hand and beckoned everyone to take a seat. Everyone found their own places to sit, some were crowded together on the couch, some sat on small benches, some sat on bamboo chairs, and some sat on one-line stools. Li Feng pulled a bamboo chair for Yun Feng to sit on, and he also sat down on the small bench next to him.

"Old man, is the old lady feeling better?"

The mayor asked with concern.

"Okay, it's much better, I couldn't finish a bowl of porridge last year, but now I can finish a bowl of rice at noon."

Old Man Wang smiled with a daisy-like wrinkle on his face. The little granddaughter was busy taking the tea from him and delivering it to the guests sitting in the living room one by one, and the action was careful and serious, as if she was afraid that the water would spill and greet her.

"That's good, the parents of the big dishes and the small dishes are back for the Spring Festival, right?"

The mayor continued.

"They all came back, and they didn't stay for a few days, so they all went down together again, saying that they went to work early."

Old Man Wang said with a smile. He didn't miss his two sons and daughters-in-law too much because of the southward work, perhaps, he had already accepted the situation that such a woman grew up and was not around, or perhaps, his sons and daughters-in-law could find jobs in big cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen, earn money, and see a world bigger than the village, he was happy. The hearts of parents in the world are like this.

Yun Feng listened to Old Man Wang's words back to the mayor, and there was a hot and sour feeling in her eyes, she knew that Old Man Wang's comfortable smile did not feel that her life was bitter and tired, and she didn't need anyone's pity, but she just couldn't help but feel a slight heat wave in her heart, splashing her eyes, and her vision was a little blurred in the laughter of this room.

"Big dishes and small dishes are still employed, right?"

The mayor took the cup full of tea, stroked the little girl's head and asked with a smile.

"These two children are really worry-free, they do all the housework in the house, and sometimes they rush to feed their grandmother. Hey, this old woman, after lying down for a year, she won't lose. ”

Speaking of his grandson and wife, Old Man Wang's face calmed down for a moment, but he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Yes, he is an old man in his seventies who is now living a very contented life, his two sons and his daughter-in-law are working in a factory in Shenzhen, and every Spring Festival he can get back four or five thousand yuan for him to use as living expenses for his two children and two old people, and he always has a balance to save for his two grandchildren to study in the future.

He also discussed with his two sons and also considered finding a place to build a house in the town, so that it would be convenient for the two children to go to school and study in the future, and the transportation would be convenient. As for him and his wife, since his wife said that he had a stomachache and sent it to the town hospital to take a film last year, he didn't see anything wrong, and he couldn't say anything wrong with the county hospital.

After his wife came back, he couldn't get out of bed, he had to accompany and take care of his wife, so he stayed in the village, and he didn't make trouble for his son and daughter-in-law, and he was used to it. Now, he is old and can't plough the land, and the rice, oil and other grains are bought from the village, or let the villagers out of the village help bring some back, basically, now these two children grow their bodies and eat more, otherwise, fifty catties of rice is enough for their two old and two young to eat for a month.

He is not worried about whether his two grandchildren will be successful in the future, now that the times have changed, he and his wife have no culture and no knowledge and can't teach them anything, but at least they can tell them to be kind to others, reach out and not hit smiling people, live a happy life, find more ways to encounter difficulties, and the living cannot be suffocated by urine.

As for the study of the two children, isn't there Principal Wu? Let a good teacher like Principal Wu take care of it. The only thing he worries about is his wife, but looking at his wife's situation is not bad, even if the age is up, there are three long and two short, it is estimated that the old wife will walk in front of him, and there is nothing to worry about, 10,000 steps back, even if he goes first, he believes that the village and his two sons will take care of his wife. At this age, he was content to live a carefree life like he is now.

The old man's thoughts were all laid out bit by bit in the jokes with the mayor and Principal Wu, as well as everyone, everyone had a smile on their faces, admiring the old man's optimistic and contented good attitude, and Yun Feng's already blurred vision also brightened up in the moment when he looked down and smiled again.
