Chapter 600: The Good and Evil of Human Nature, Old Woman
The misfortune of her childhood made her have the best attachment and memories of her short family relationship in childhood.
His biological parents are very different from his uncles, aunts, and other elders. Although her uncle and aunt took her in, they treated her like an outsider after all. She has also not been able to integrate into the family of her aunt and uncle.
Perhaps it was this relatively cold and cruel family environment that made her learn to be independent from an early age.
So much so that even if Zhou Can and her established a relationship, she still insisted on paying back the money lent to her.
"If you want, we can spend money to build a house here, and I will accompany you back for a few days every year in the future, so that you can relive the happiness and beauty of your childhood." Zhou Can stepped forward and gently hugged her shoulders and said with pity.
"Forget it, just let those beautiful childhood memories stay in your heart! If we really built a house here, we wouldn't be able to live here. Some memories are unreachable, and they are only suitable for forever to remain in the depths of memory. In the dead of night, when you touch the scene, you occasionally take it out and reminisce. ”
She shook her head slightly.
"The persimmons don't look ripe yet, can you eat them like this? Won't it be astringent? ”
Zhou Can changed the topic, trying not to let her feel the pain of her parents' absence.
"I can eat it! You can't eat it right away, you need to soak it in clean water for a while. When I was a child, my dad often soaked green persimmons in lime water, which tasted particularly sweet and crispy. But I don't know if it's harmful? ”
She still remembers the events of her childhood very clearly.
Many childhood memories can be forgotten for a lifetime.
Many parents are busy with work, and their children are taken care of as soon as they are born, and they rarely accompany their children to grow up in addition to providing them with superior economic conditions and a learning and growth environment. This will lead to indifference in family affection, and it will be difficult for children to really get close to their parents when they grow up.
In fact, it is not enough to maintain the relationship between parents and children only by blood.
Because of the lack of emotional foundation, family relationships can become very fragile.
Human emotions are the most complex.
For the sake of lovers, for the sake of a deep friend, we can give almost everything. A lot of times it's unconditional trust, and this is the charm of feelings.
Whether it is love or friendship, including family affection, the ultimate core is actually based on feelings, and the establishment of mutual trust and close relationships.
Therefore, after parents give birth to their children, it is not just about providing superior economic conditions.
The deepest love for children is not how much money to give, but companionship.
"Lime water mainly contains calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide and water, which is a mixture and usually has strong alkalinity. The stomach contains a certain amount of gastric acid, which is usually acidic. If the persimmon soaked in lime water is only eaten in small amounts, there can be a neutralization reaction between stomach acid and lime water, and there will generally be no uncomfortable symptoms. However, for health reasons, it is best to eat less or not at all. ”
Zhou Can answered this question for her from a professional medical perspective.
Children have a strong metabolic ability, and even if they eat a little food that is harmful to the body, they can quickly metabolize it.
However, after all, it is still harmful to the body and there are risks.
So try to eat less or no food at all.
This is the same as smoking is bad for your health.
The damage to the body from foods with many toxic side effects is invisible.
"If you like to eat it, we'll pick some back when we go. Soaking directly in water should achieve similar results, but at most the soaking time needs to be longer. ”
Zhou Can said to her with a smile.
"Okay!"
Su Qianqian likes the feeling of being pampered by her lover, which makes her feel very sweet.
"Let's go and say hello to my uncle and aunt first! We countrymen like to watch the excitement, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming around. ”
Su Qianqian had already found that many villagers were standing not far away looking at her and Zhou Can.
The two walked towards the bungalow.
It looks like it should have been built for a few years, and it's quite new.
The outside is covered with a cement floor, which covers a huge area.
The door is closed, and the person should not be at home.
"My uncle and aunt may have gone to work in the fields." Su Qianqian called a few times in dialect outside, but did not get any response.
Only a big yellow dog barked at them in the house next to it with miscellaneous items and firewood.
"Why don't we go and look in the fields!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Can happily agreed.
Compared with Su Qianqian, Zhou Can is very happy. Since he was a child, he has had no worries about food and clothing, and he is a rich second generation, and he has never experienced the hard life in the countryside.
He was very curious about life in the countryside.
"Who are you looking for?"
A slightly older middle-aged man's voice came.
The two turned to look not far away, and saw a middle-aged and elderly man in his sixties walking straight with a large bundle of straw buds on his back.
"Uncle!"
Su Qianqian called in dialect.
Zhou Can can also understand it next to him, and their dialect here is a bit similar to Sichuan.
"Oh, are you a tiger girl?"
The man obviously didn't recognize Su Qianqian.
"It's me! Uncle, this is my boyfriend Zhou Can, we came back to see you and your aunt. Su Qianqian hurriedly introduced Zhou Can's identity to his uncle.
"Hello uncle!"
Zhou Can took out a pack of cigarettes that had been prepared a long time ago, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the cigarettes after opening them.
In the countryside, smoke is a great tool for dealing with people.
It is also a kind of courtesy and courtesy.
"The young man is very handsome! Let's all sit in the house! Your aunt will come back at once and ask her to cook for you. ”
The man stared at Zhou Can and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but praise.
Zhou Can is very tall, sunny and handsome, plus his net worth has long exceeded 100 million, he has a successful career, and he is also a decent person, so his temperament is very good. Not to mention in this kind of rural place, even if you go to the provincial capital, a stop in the crowd is just as extraordinary.
The man took a key from the windowsill, opened the door, and invited the two to sit down.
The furniture in the room was extremely old, and the stools were covered with a thick layer of black dirt. Zhou Can didn't have any bad habits of pampering, so he sat down directly.
If you are wearing expensive clothes, you will definitely be hesitant to sit down.
If you get some stubborn stains, dry cleaning won't wash them off at all, and the clothes will be wasted.
"Uncle, are you and your aunt all right?"
Su Qianqian was obviously a little restrained, and she didn't have the natural and comfortable feeling of returning to her parents' home at all.
In fact, there is not the slightest trace left for her in this home.
"Your aunt has a herniated disc in her lumbar spine, and she will have low back pain when she does too much heavy work. I went to the big hospital in the county several times, but it didn't work very well. I just have a little high blood pressure, and I seem to have a little problem with my kidneys, and the doctor said it was chronic nephritis, but I don't understand it anyway, as long as my body can still move, I don't bother to go for treatment. ”
Her uncle's face looked a little dull and seemed a little puffy.
With Zhou Can's current level of medical skills, it can be seen at a glance that this man's kidney is not a small problem, it is likely to be a big problem.
Nephritis drags on for a long time and can soon progress to kidney failure. Patients suffer from impaired metabolic waste and water excretion, which can lead to damage to multiple systems throughout the body. Symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, coma, and decreased urination may occur, and in severe cases, it may cause hyperkalemia, acute left heart failure and other life-threatening symptoms.
The late stage of nephritis is actually uremia.
Basically, in the third stage, there will be obvious severe symptoms, and at this time, dialysis is required to maintain normal life needs.
Many people in rural areas do not dare to go to the hospital when they are sick because of their poor economic conditions and limited income.
Because they think hospitals are expensive.
Moreover, most of the middle-aged and elderly people in the rural areas have a very low level of education, and their ideological concepts are also particularly backward.
Tell them that this one can't be eaten, that one can't be eaten. You can't do this, you can't do that, he'll think you're nervous.
Also, people who do heavy physical work generally age quickly.
As long as you are a little older, you will basically get sick.
All debts accumulated when you are young will be liquidated when you are old. The body has its own set of mechanisms.
That's how the idiom comes from.
"If you're not feeling well, go to the hospital! Hospitals in the county may be limited, and you and your aunt can go to the big hospitals in the province. While Su Qianqian persuaded him, he glanced at Zhou Can.
Her boyfriend is a doctor and a famous doctor at Tuya Hospital.
My uncle thinks that the county hospital is a big hospital.
In Zhou Can's eyes, the hospitals in the county are dead, that is, the level of grassroots hospitals. It is much better than the township health center, but compared with the provincial top three compounds, it is really not half a star.
"I'm too lazy to toss, your aunt and I are almost sixty years old, how many years can we live? When the time comes, the money is spent, and it still can't be cured. You might as well leave more money for your brother. ”
The uncle shook his head and waved his hand again and again, basically resigned himself to his fate.
Ready to die.
This is also the true thinking of the vast majority of rural elderly people.
I'd rather die by myself than drag down my children, but leave as much money as possible for my son.
This kind of ideological concept is completely different from that of the developed countries in the West.
Parents in developed Western countries work hard to nurture their children when they are minors. When they become adults, let them live independently and support themselves.
As for giving all their parents' money to their children, they don't have that idea at all.
As long as the parents are alive, the parents' belongings belong only to the parents. There is no such thing as in China, where parents spend money to help their sons buy a wedding house, a car, and a daughter-in-law.
In a foreign country, these are the child's own business.
Grandparents in China, helping to take care of grandchildren, are basically taken for granted by default. In foreign countries, it is difficult for them to accept the fact that they give their grandchildren to their grandparents for more than two hours.
Because it will affect the life of grandparents.
"What about Su Jun? Did you go out to work? ”
Su Qianqian asked.
Obviously, Su Jun is the son of his uncle and aunt.
"Your brother used to work in a developed coastal city, but because he didn't have a diploma, he had to work as a waiter in a factory or restaurant. He hated the low salary and the tiring work. In the past two years, he has worked in a car wash in the county. It's rare for you to come back, so I'll call him right now and ask him to come back and get together. ”
Uncle said, figuring out an old-fashioned keyphone phone.
This kind of elderly machine has very few functions, and basically can only make and receive calls.
However, the elderly in rural areas are very fond of this kind of mobile phone. Because they feel cheap and have a long standby time. The function is simple, and the operation will be easier.
For the elderly who are not highly educated, it is indeed quite friendly.
At this time, a relatively small old woman came in carrying a large basket and carrying a hoe.
The old woman's face was a bit gloomy, and her eyes revealed the kind of eight hundred scheming.
"Auntie!"
Su Qianqian hurriedly stood up and greeted with a smile.
Zhou Can also stood up.
"This is the boyfriend brought back by the tiger girl."
The uncle introduced a sentence to his wife.
"Hello Auntie!"
Zhou Can greeted with a smile.
"Hello! Please be seated, boy! ”
The aunt's small eyes stared at Zhou Can up and down, and the smile on her face was quite enthusiastic.
"Is that car on the side of the road yours?"
She is really interesting, and when she meets, she asks the car directly, instead of asking Su Qianqian if she has been doing well in the past few years.
"I paid for it. It's not that I've been thinking about knowing shallow for several years, and when I reached the age when I should talk about marriage, I came to propose marriage this time. Zhou Can replied.
After the aunt heard this, the enthusiasm on her face immediately faded a lot.
"It's rented! That's going to cost a lot of money, right? ”
When she asked this, she stared at Zhou Can's eyes.
"It's very expensive, it costs two thousand to rent for three days, and the gas money is extra. The driver's salary is two hundred yuan a day. Zhou Can replied without leaking.
The old country woman wanted to ask him something strange, but she didn't even think about it.
"Oh, it's going to be thousands, it's expensive! What are you spending this money for? "Auntie said this as if it was her money. There was really a painful expression on his face.
"It's shallow, it's hard to go home, but you can stay a few more days. My aunt will go and clean up your room right away. ”
She turned her head and began to greet Su Qianqian warmly.
The uncle called Su Qianqian's nickname Huniu, but the aunt called her Qianqian.
"Auntie, don't bother, we're going to leave tomorrow. Zhou Can and I both took leave from the company, so we couldn't stay for a long time. ”
Su Qianqian is not stupid.
Her old house was directly demolished by her uncle and aunt, and when she built a new house, she almost occupied most of her family's homestead. Walking into this house, there is no trace left for her at all.
To put it bluntly, she is an outsider.
The aunt is so coy now, how can she fall into the trap?
"What do you say, boy? Aren't they all ready to talk about marriage? Your parents died young, and your uncle and I raised you since childhood, and we hope that you will live happily ever after. We have to stay and let us see how this young man's character is, whether he is good to you or not, so that we can rest assured that we can marry you to him! Everything is arranged by the aunt. ”
The aunt was extremely strong, and directly pulled a banner of elders caring for the younger generations, leaving Su Qianqian behind.
Zhou Can sneered secretly when he heard it beside him.
Pulled Su Qianqian up since he was a child? If Su Qianqian hadn't told Zhou Can about what happened when he was a child, Zhou Can would definitely believe this aunt's words.
Of course, this time he came to the door to propose, and Zhou Can will definitely follow the other party as much as possible.
When they get married, if their uncles and aunts really miss family affection and treat Su Qianqian as their daughter, Zhou Can will find a way to help them treat their illness. Give them a good old age.
If you just use her as a tool for profit, all kinds of tricks, all kinds of calculations, then there is no need to be polite.
Give a little money, and it's a settlement.
There will be no contact at all in the future.
"Auntie, we really can't stay long. You don't have to do any work. After a day's work, I guess I'm already tired, so sit down and rest! Su Qianqian said to her again.
