Fifteen light bulbs.

The house is not big or small.

A large dining table.

The four brothers and sisters of the Zhou family sat around to eat.

"Second brother, the noodles you make are so delicious, better than those made by your mother." Zhou Fang was eating noodles and praising Zhou Qiang.

She was a little young, and she almost forgot about the death of her parents.

"Eat more if it's delicious." There are no vegetables in winter, so Zhou Qiang used cabbage, radish, potatoes, and some dry goods at home, plus green onions, ginger and garlic to make a bowl of noodles. By the way, eggs were also added.

However, Zhou Qiang's cooking skills have long been superb, and even the simplest ingredients and seasonings can make delicious food.

Zhou Juan is older and already sensible. Hearing Zhou Fang's words, his eyes turned red, and he almost shed tears again.

"Xiaojuan, do you want to add some chili peppers?" Zhou Qiang saw it, picked up the chili pepper and asked.

"No need, second brother." Zhou Juan lowered her head and continued to eat the noodles, helping Zhou Sheng pick up the noodles that fell on the table from time to time.

Zhou Sheng buried his face in the bowl and kept eating noodles. He also thinks today's noodles are delicious.

"Xiaojuan, tomorrow I will ride a three-wheeler to send you and Xiaofang to school." Zhou imposed some chili peppers and said what would happen tomorrow.

Zhou Juan hesitated, "Second brother, otherwise I won't go to school, I'll paste the paper box at home." ”

There are odd jobs in the neighborhood office, which are specially provided for poor households.

It is possible to paste a paper box or to include a sole.

Zhou Juan inquired carefully, she could paste the paper box.

Zhou Qiang was stunned when he heard this, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "Xiaojuan, don't think about it, our family still has money, and we don't need you to drop out of school."

The second brother will go to the Dongcheng Auto Repair Factory tomorrow to have a look, there should be a job and he can make money.

Also, we split up before, didn't we leave you and Xiaofang and Xiaosheng with child support? ”

"Second brother, save that money and use it in the future." Zhou Juan has already begun to think about life.

"Xiaojuan, although our family doesn't have a lot of money, it's a lot, you finish elementary school first, and we'll talk about it later." Zhou Qiang didn't persuade much, as long as he could make money, Zhou Juan would not think about dropping out of school.

"Okay, second brother." After the accident at home, Zhou Juan grew up all of a sudden. A ten-year-old child has to think about how to live.

"Second brother, I still want to eat!" Zhou Fang had already finished eating a bowl of noodles.

"Second brother, I want it too!" Zhou Sheng also finished pulling.

"Okay, it's all right, bring the bowl." Zhou Qiang makes a lot of noodles, and he won't let his younger brothers and sisters be hungry.

It was while the Zhou family was eating.

Other people in the compound were also eating.

In the evening, it would be nice to be able to drink a bowl of stick batter.

Although they don't have enough to eat, their interest in gossiping will not decrease.

The matter of the Zhou family has spread in the courtyard.

Almost everyone is talking.

Hungry and gossiping about other people's houses.

With this free time, I don't know how to make food, so I can go fishing.

The three great masters of the steward, Yan Bu's noble family.

"Old Yan, don't you know, Zhou Qiang of the Zhou family is not ordinary, and he has done a lot of big things today." The three mothers said while drinking corn paste.

"What's going on? You tell us more specifically. Yan Bugui asked with squinted eyes.

He is a primary school Chinese teacher.

At home, he is the only one who earns money.

There are four children: Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi. They also drank corn paste and listened curiously.

Yan Bugui often said, "You can't eat poorly, you can't wear poor, and if you can't calculate, you will suffer poor." ”

He was a very calculating man.

Not only do you count outsiders, but you also have to count your family.

In the end, the family affection is gone.

There is no one to provide for him.

As for why Yan Bugui likes to calculate?

Maybe it has something to do with his profession.

It is rumored that people in their profession spend money to pick and search.

However, Yan Bugui still has a shining point.

That is, he owes money, and he would rather pick up the rags than pay it back, and never default on it.

Yan Bugui has many shortcomings, such as being stingy, slamming the door, calculating, taking advantage, and a little high, and so on.

But Yan Bugui is a person with a bottom line, and he resolutely refuses to do excessive things. If it is excessive, I will not say it.

"This afternoon, a few people from the Zhou family came." The three mothers told all the things about the Zhou family, and they said it in detail. It's hard for her to be hungry and hear so much.

"Awesome, this week's strong is really powerful." Yan Bugui squinted his eyes, nodded, took a bite of pickles, and smacked his lips, "Zhou Hua, twenty, right?" was kicked out by Zhou Qiang. ”

"That Zhou Hua is not a thing, he wants to get Zhou Qiang's brothers and sisters out." The three mothers were a little contemptuous.

"This is called stealing chickens and rice, and Zhou Hua didn't even have a house in the end." Yan Bugui also despised it.

"Not only does there be no house, but the two official jobs of Zhou Tie and his wife are not Zhou Hua's share."

"Zhou Qiang will do things, he invited Director Wang of the street office, as well as Qian Weiguo and Yang Shuheng from the rolling mill, so that Zhou Hua was suppressed."

"I just don't know if Zhou Hua will come to make trouble?"

He didn't dare to hang it. Today, Director Wang has explained everything clearly. Zhou Hua is going to make trouble, and the three of us are in charge of the uncle, and we want to stop Zhou Hua and not allow Zhou Hua to come. ”

"The Zhou family is now a piece of fatty meat, and the people who want to eat it are not old or young."

"If you want to eat, hum, you have to be able to eat." Yan Bugui squinted his eyes thoughtfully.

"Lao Yan, do you say that you can get the Zhou family's regular job quota and solve it as a temporary worker for several years."

Yan Jiecheng next to him heard this, and hurriedly straightened his waist, he was more than twenty years old, eager to become a regular worker, eager to find a partner to marry.

"There's no hurry." Yan Bugui shook his head, "The gun shot the first bird, and there are many people staring at the Zhou family now, let others try it first." ”

"What if the Zhou family's official job quota is grabbed by others?" The three mothers are a little anxious.

"The Zhou family is on the side, you keep an eye on it and remind Zhou Qiang more." Yan Bugui squinted his eyes and calculated.

Backyard.

The second uncle in charge of the house is in the middle of the house.

"Lao Liu, the affairs of the Zhou family are like this" The second aunt drank corn paste and gossiped.

Eating scrambled eggs in his bangs, drinking small wine, and nodding from time to time.

Bangs are fitters at the Red Star Rolling Mill.

His family is also a person who makes money.

However, he has a higher level of fitter and his income is much higher than that of Yan Bu.

There are three sons in Liuhai, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu.

Liu Guangqi is the only favorite eldest son in the bangs.

gave Liu Guangqi the best things in the family, but after Liu Guangqi got married, he left Liu's house, leaving a sentence, "I don't want my children to see my grandfather beating people."

There is a bad problem in the bangs, that is, he likes to beat his son.

He often beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Bangs also likes to eat alone.

For example, now, he eats scrambled eggs alone in the family, and no one else is allowed to eat them.

Bangs is still an official fan.

In order to become an official, you can do whatever it takes.

It can be said that Liu Haizhong is a person with no bottom line.

"Director Wang just now, I gave us three stewards a task, let us take care of the Zhou family, and we can't let outsiders bully. We have to complete this task seriously, and you have nothing to do with going to the front yard." bangs in an official tone, thinking about how to please Wang Xiuping.

"Director Wang is good to the Zhou family?" The second aunt was a little surprised.

"It's good, let Zhou Qiang call her Aunt Wang."

"The number of regular jobs in the Zhou family"

"Don't make a bad idea, Director Wang, the money of the rolling mill is for the country, and Yang Shuheng from the personnel department are all protecting Zhou Qiang, and no one can snatch the quota."

At this time, Liu Guangtian secretly sandwiched a piece of egg.

"Smack!" Bangs slapped on Liu Guangtian's brain, "Dare to steal eggs, I can't kill you!" ”

Crackling, bangs on, spanking son mode.

He beats his son like this, and when he gets old in the future, there will be no one to support him.

Other families are also chatting.

"Zhou Qiang is very powerful, and he drove his brother Zhou Hua away."

"No, I heard that the houses are all in Zhou Qiang's name."

"No, Zhou Juan and Zhou Fang also have a house."

"You said, I don't know what Zhou Qiang thinks, the two girls have a big house. Zhou Qiang and Zhou Sheng only shared a small house. ”

"Zhou Qiang is not an ordinary person, when he separated the family, he not only left child support, but also shared the pension money of the elderly in his hometown."

"So, Zhou Qiang is quite filial?"

"Filial piety or not, just look at the New Year, whether he will go to his hometown or not."

"Even if you go to your hometown, you don't necessarily give money."

"The two regular job quotas of the Zhou family.?"

"Someone is protecting Zhou Qiang, it's not easy to get it."

"We'll see how it goes in a few days."

"Zhou Qiang is not easy to deceive, so he lied to his sister Zhou Juan."

In the middle courtyard, a master Yi Zhonghai's family.

Yi Zhonghai also chatted with his aunt about the Zhou family.

His family is in better condition.

While drinking corn paste, you can also eat a two-sided steamed bun.

Yi Zhonghai is a senior fitter with a high salary.

There are only husband and wife in the family, and there are no children.

"Lao Yi, Zhou's afternoon." An aunt talked about the afternoon, and when Zhou Qiang gave ten yuan a year to the old man in his hometown, "Lao Yi, you said that Zhou Qiang is a filial person, right?" ”

"Whether he is filial or not depends on how he does it." Yizhong Kaido.

"Zhou Qiang was very powerful, and when he swept Zhou Hua out of the house, he slapped Zhou Hua twice."

"What's going on?"

"In the morning, Zhou Hua and his object Li Mei came, Zhou Hua slapped Zhou Juan, and pushed Zhou Juan down, at that time, Zhou Fang and Zhou Sheng both had a fever, and Zhou Qiang rode a tricycle to the hospital"

"It should be hit!" Yi Zhonghai nodded, "That Zhou Hua is too disagreeable, he is definitely not a filial person." ”

"Yes, if you want to say this person, Zhou Qiang is still affectionate and righteous, good to his younger brothers and sisters, and when he separated, he also set aside child support and pension money." Aunt Yi has a good impression of Zhou Qiang.

"Zhou Qiang's work this time is really good." Yi Zhonghai nodded, "However, Zhou Qiang has two younger sisters and a younger brother, and the days to come will not be easy." ”

"Lao Yi, you say. Can't." An aunt wanted to speak and stopped, but did not say it explicitly. Her subtext is to adopt the Zhou brothers and sisters and let the Zhou brothers and sisters provide for them.

"Don't worry, let's take a look." Yi Zhonghai understood what he meant, and he didn't rush to make a decision.

Yi Zhonghai's family has no children.

An aunt is sick and can't give birth.

Yi Zhonghai and his family have always considered the issue of pension.

When you are afraid that the old ones can't move, no one cares.

In "Love in the Courtyard", Yi Zhonghai has been thinking about pension.

He gives the impression that he keeps calculating, "Who will provide for me?" ”

He Yuzhu, a neighbor of the middle court, is Yi Zhonghai's target for the elderly.

Later, it was indeed He Yuzhu who provided for Yi Zhonghai's retirement.

In fact, the problem of pension is not only in Yizhonghai.

In the courtyard, the deaf old lady has no children and needs someone to support the elderly.

However, the deaf old lady is old, and she is taken care of by Yi Zhonghai and an aunt, and she can be regarded as having someone to support her.

The second uncle has several sons in the bangs, but because he is too partial to the eldest son Liu Guangqi, and "the parents are not kind, and the children are not filial", because he often beats the remaining two sons, after the bangs are old, no one supports him.

Yan Bugui has three sons and one daughter, but he calculates too much, his family affection is weak, and when he gets old, no one supports Yan Bugui.

Others, the actor He Yuzhu and the villain Xu Damao will face the problem of pension.

He Yuzhu's ending is said to be driven out of the house by the widow's child and frozen to death in the bridge hole.

Xu Damao's ending, I believe it will not be much better.

Let's say a few more words here.

In fact, the issue of pension is a problem that everyone who can live to old age will consider.

It seems a bit premature for teenage children, young people in their twenties, and even middle-aged people in their thirties to think about pension.

However, if you can live to old age, people will always face the problem of providing for the elderly.

Two types of people are likely to be present:

1. Elderly people in rural areas who have no income.

Because there is no income, children need to contribute money to support the elderly.

If there is no illness or disaster, and there is no disease such as 'hemiplegia', maybe the situation is a little better, and I should not be abused by my children and die.

Even in this case, there are many elderly people with children who die alone because their children are not filial, have nothing to rely on, and are lonely.

Not to mention, the old people who have no children, when they get old, it seems that they can only wait for death.

2. Elderly people with income, such as urban areas.

If you have children, if your children are filial, if you don't have a disease like 'hemiplegia', maybe you will have something to rely on when you are old.

If there are children, and the children are not filial, or have no children, such an old man will be miserable. Plus being sick or something, it will be even more miserable.

so

What is the conclusion about the situation of these two types of people?

1. If you have children.

So old, sick, unable to move, maybe, possibly, have children to take care of.

The point here is: it is possible.

Possibility, it means that there is hope, not complete despair.

It's still the best case scenario imaginable.

2. If you have no children.

Then, there is basically no hope, and there is basically no one to support the elderly.

Perhaps, someone will say, "I don't need to retire." ”

If you can live to old age, by then, you should understand that you really need someone to provide for you.

Perhaps, someone will say, "I go to a nursing home." ”

There is a saying about nursing homes.

If you have children, you go to a nursing home, and your children visit occasionally.

In such a situation, the old man can barely live for a long time, although his life is not satisfactory, but he will not live in it for a few days, and he will die unexpectedly.

If the elderly who have no children live in a nursing home, no one will visit them.

I'm afraid that the situation is not optimistic, and it may not last more than a month, and then die unexpectedly.

That's why the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai have been thinking about the pension problem.

Because they have no children and no daughters, they are old, and they are really helpless.

If there is no one around to take care of it, it may die in a mess.

Even if you have money, it's useless.

So, if you are growing old alone, then at least find someone who is reliable.

This person can go to a nursing home and visit you.
