Chapter 39: It's a little sad
Meng Wan couldn't help but ask while filling the plastic bag with vegetables: "Grandma, what about your children, it's so late, how are you going back." ”
The old man's eyes suddenly fell lonely: "No, how can there be anyone, there is only one wife and a grandson, we two old people are fine, but the granddaughter still has to go to school." ”
Meng Wan paused: "How old is your granddaughter?" ”
Speaking of his granddaughter, the old man smiled again: "Seven years old, very well-behaved, my wife takes care of her at home." ”
Meng Wan nodded: "Grandma, that's it, because we have more than a dozen people waiting for dinner, I'll buy all your dishes, this is money, you don't have to look for it anymore, go home early." ”
Meng Wan handed the money to the old man, and when the old man saw so much money, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I can't take so much money from you." ”
Meng Wan said: "There are not many here, you go back and buy some delicious food for your granddaughter and wife." ”
The old man suddenly burst into tears, pinching the money and crying: "Girl, you are a good person." ”
Meng Wan was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to the old man: "Grandma, don't cry." ”
The old man took the tissue, wiped it hastily, and gradually recovered: "If only my Yongzi could meet a good person like you." ”
Sensing that there might be a hidden secret, Meng Wan patiently asked, "Is something happening?" ”
The old man began to tell her story.
The old man was born and raised in Xi'an, and gave birth to a son, and the son gave birth to a granddaughter, but the sad thing is that in order to give birth to a granddaughter, the daughter-in-law had a difficult birth, and although the life is poor, it can still go on.
They are from the countryside, and their husbands and wives grow something in the fields and are self-sufficient, and they will come to the town to set up a stall to support their families, while their sons go to the city to work.
Their son went to the city for several months, which was normal, and in order not to disturb his son, they rarely called him, but once, for seven or eight months, their son did not hear from him, and he did not answer the call, so they panicked.
They inquired for a long time before finding the construction site where their son worked, originally wanting to happily find their son, but they didn't expect to receive a bad news.
Their son is gone, and the workers say with pity that their son accidentally fell from the third floor when he was at work, and the rescue was ineffective.
The bodies were placed in the morgue of the hospital, and no one came to claim them, and when the old people went to see them, their expressions were vivid, and their filial and honest sons were now covered in cold air, their lips were bruised, and there was no blood on their bodies.
How could the two old men accept it, they cried, heard that they wanted to appeal, struggled for nearly five months, and finally received a thousand yuan in compensation.
There were even threats that if they continued to make trouble, their grandson would be harmed, and the old people were angry and scared, so they could only lead their son's body home, because they had no money, their son's funeral was hastily organized.
Recalling the sad incident, the old man burst into tears.
Meng Wan's fists were already hard when she heard this: "Grandma, do you remember what the name of that company is?" ”
The old man looked at Meng Wan in disbelief, his eyes were full of hope, and he was a little afraid to do so: "You ......"
Meng Wan said: "I know some lawyer friends, they can look into your son's case again." ”
The old man trembled, and immediately knelt down: "Girl, you are a good person, our whole family has to thank you." ”
Meng Wan couldn't stand the old man's kneeling, and hurriedly helped her up: "Don't be like this, where do you live, let's send you home first." ”
The old man reported the address with tears in his eyes, and stuffed the money back into Meng Wan's hand: "Girl, you are the benefactor of our family, I can't ask for this money, and those dishes are also given to you to eat." ”
How could Meng Wan accept it, and refused.
Meng Wan was not familiar with Xi'an, so she went to find the program team.
The program team also heard about what happened, and hurriedly borrowed a car and invited a local driver.
On the way to find the program team in Meng Wan, Bo Xingxing clenched his fists and said indignantly: "We must help that grandma!" ”
Meng Wan nodded: "It will be." ”
Since the old man still had a board car, the program team borrowed a minivan.
Meng Wan helped the old man to sit in the back row, and she sat next to her, and a thin star was squeezed next to her, and the camera brother was very dedicated, carrying a camera and sitting in the co-pilot, shooting them conscientiously.
The driver, a local, knows how far away this place is, and reminded: "The destination is a bit out of the way, it's quite far, about an hour to drive." ”
Meng Wan was shocked, and it took more than an hour to drive, so ...... to walk She looked at the old man: "Grandma, have you been walking for so long every day?" ”
The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face bent into a kind angle: "Save some money for the car, every household in the village will grow their own vegetables, and the more people who buy vegetables in the town, you can make more money." ”
Meng Wan frowned, very distressed: "You have been walking for too long, when do you have to go home at night." ”
The old man could see it openly: "Sometimes it's early, sometimes it's late, it's okay, I'm not afraid of being tired." ”
Meng Wan was a little sad, there was a group of people who had not had a good life since they were born, and they had been working all the time, as if the suffering had been accepted by them.
The old man seemed to see what Meng Wan was thinking, and patted the back of Meng Wan's hand: "Child, don't feel sorry for me. ”
When it reaches the old man's house, the sun will not set on the mountain, and the sunset will cast a hazy touch on the whole land.
Meng Wan got out of the car first, she opened the car door for the old man, the old man got out of the car, the faint sunlight sprinkled a dim halo on her, and there was a touch of shining in her eyes, like daylight, and like the hope that gradually shone in the old man's eyes.
