Chapter 175: Happy Living
Sure enough, in the workshop over there, Xiaowen, a fat black girl, was demonstrating how to order beads for the white thin boy Tianyi.
"It seems that Xiaowen will be able to hold both the dog beating stick and the embroidery needle in the future!" Wei Qiang couldn't help but praise.
"Lang Wen is mainly because her mother left early, and her father took it alone, after all, there is something missing!" Pony said with a smile.
It seems that this pony also loves Lang Wen a lot, and it is really a happy family!
"By the way, Li Ping, you can take all the wontons in the refrigerator, and send Brother Qiang to Tiger Hill in a while, and bring some for your grandparents to eat by the way, last time they came over, I think they seem to love food!"
"Yes, they said your bag is delicious, but take it all, what do you eat tomorrow morning, I'll take my family's share, and leave a few for Xiao Yang then! Tianyi and I can eat salty things bought outside, and we will solve it tomorrow morning! ”
Yang Xiuzhen explained to Wei Qiang that because she and Li Ping were in the factory, there was no gang at home, and she had hyperthyroidism and couldn't eat salty things outside, and it was not good to eat sweet things all the time, so if she wasn't busy, Xiaoma would make some snacks and let them take them home to eat the next morning.
Li Ping went to the kitchen to get a bag of things and came back and opened the car door. Wei Qiang flashed his driver's license to Li Ping, Li Ping smiled and asked him to drive, saying that the things taken out of the refrigerator were afraid that they would take a long time, so let Wei Qiang drive to his house first.
It turned out that Li Ping's grandparents lived on Shantang Street near the Tiger Hill Scenic Area, and they were both in their nineties. But because I have had cataracts, hearing aids, and dentures, I can see, hear clearly, eat well, and my body is very strong. If nothing else, there is no problem for the old couple to live to be more than 100 years old, so the term longevity is not appropriate for them. Of course, their longevity is also inseparable from the filial piety of their children and grandchildren.
Li Ping's grandparents have a total of six children, except for Li Ping's father, everyone else has daughters, and their grandchildren or granddaughters are older than Tianyi, and they are not busy, so the four daughters take turns to accompany them during the day, and on Sundays, Li Ping's family goes over, and the two sons take turns to accompany them at night. When it is the son's turn, he gets up early every day to buy good snacks for them; As for the daughter's turn, in the morning, she will tell them some interesting things in the newspaper, and she will also let them watch funny videos on her mobile phone, which makes the two old men always smile. If the weather is fine after the two old people take a nap, they will take them to the Tiger Hill Scenic Area for a ride, and if the weather is bad, they will help the two old people massage their feet at home.
"Your grandparents should have a retirement salary, right?"
"Yes, the two of them add up to a lot of more than ten years ago, when we rented a house, his grandfather insisted that he pay the rent, when we bought the house, he also gave us 100,000 yuan, every year to my family every day on the Spring Festival, June 1st, birthday red envelopes are thousands, every time we go, they say that the retirement salary is not used, so that we don't have enough money, just open our mouths. Li Ping is planning to go to the off-season, and if the workers' wages are not enough, he will borrow some from them. Yang Xiuzhen hurriedly said.
"I can hear that they are a pair of generous old men, and the cost of eating should still be their own, right?"
"Yes, and the people who accompany them are fed and lodging. My aunts said they ate better than their own. Li Ping said with a smile.
"Of course, the dishes are bought as much as they like to eat, the two old people are so old, how much can they eat, and in the end it is not all in the stomachs of the children, and the air conditioner that is reluctant to turn on in their own homes can also be turned on to their heart's content, usually as long as they do their duty to take care of it, of course the children are willing! Tsk, in such days, the old people in the countryside only have envy, and the countryside generally doesn't do much work in their seventies, and they are disgusted by their children, and if they are still alive in their nineties, they will be scolded all day long behind their backs! Because I don't have a retirement salary. If you don't care about your children, you will be told that you have no conscience, if you care, you have reached the age of eating idle meals and watching the faces of the next generation, and your grandchildren's generation are all only children, and the parents and children who bear their own burden are enough to choke! ”
"That's right, when I went back to my hometown during the Spring Festival, I heard that a 90-year-old man in our village once hit a wall and said that it was better to let himself die. He used to be in the town to mend shoes, is quite rich, his grandson went to college for a few years of expenses are taken out by him, his daughter-in-law had a serious illness last year, spent a lot of money, his son can't cook, and he doesn't have the heart to get him a good meal, the old man lives a hungry and full life, although now his grandson works in Shanghai, but Shanghai's consumption level is high, how can he manage his grandfather. Yang Xiuzhen said.
"If this 90-year-old man is seriously ill, he will definitely not be sent to the hospital, how many old people in the countryside will go to open cataracts and put dentures? It's not because people in the city have medical insurance, they don't have to spend their own money, or although some of them need to pay for themselves, but the old people have their own retirement salaries and are not used for the money of their children and grandchildren. “
"Now some old people in the city retire, simply sell their houses, take a trip to go, travel everywhere, and come back a few years later to live directly in a nursing home, because with the money from the sale of the house and retirement salary in their hands, they enjoy VIP treatment in the nursing home! It's really clothes to stretch out, food to open mouths! The name is beautiful: go back in style. My parents listened to their tone and wanted to catch up with the fashion! Li Ping shook his head after speaking.
"Now there's a new term called Lohas, and I guess that's what I mean by them! This should be some old people who can especially think about it, and the average old man should still not be able to let go of his children and grandchildren. However, if in the future, if the children and grandchildren don't go out to make money and only gnaw on the old, I may also do it! Wei Qiang said with a smile.
