Pitiful Old and Lonely Person
Chapter 60:Pitiful Old and Lonely Person
Jiang Yan sat on the shabby sofa, and the old man hurried to walk over with his waist and pulled Jiang Yin to get up and go to the side.
"There are many bugs on the sofa, fleas, don't do it, sit on this side of the bench, this is what I picked up from the outside, I've been sitting."The old man said.
A jump, fleas?
Hurry up, sit on a small stool on the other side, and look at the house at the same time.
The light in the house was very dark, just like the sullen sky and pulled on the window, feeling gray.
The little stool she sat on, the old man just said, picked up from the outside, has been very old, the naked eye can see the stool used for many years.The sofa next to it was linen blue-gray, and had become unscattered.The sponge inside the other end has been exposed, and the foot of the sofa is broken, and it is padded with bricks.
Looking elsewhere in the house, the table was a badly folded table, without stools, and a black-painted kitchen.The walls were painted all over the walls and fell, and the potholes were potholes.
Jiang Yin can't help but look at the information in his hand, the old man has children, since there are children, how can he still live in such a place?
She doubted, but saw that the old grandmother had been making a noise in the kitchen, Jiang Yin got up again and stood at the kitchen door.
“Grandma, can you come and sit down for a while and we’ll talk?”
The old man looked back and smiled at her, and a few teeth fell.
She said, "Daughter, there's nothing to eat here, I'll give you two spoons of white sugar and drink it."
Her eyes were hot, and she choked.
"No, Grandma, I'm not thirsty, white sugar keeps you to drink slowly, okay?"Come out and talk to us, okay?”
Jiang Yin went in, the cement floor of the kitchen was pothole, and she quickly helped the old man out.
“Grandma, sit here.”Jiang Yan helped the old lady to sit on the bench, and she moved in the little stool outside and sat across the old man's house.
“Daughter, where did you come from?”The old man asked.
Jiang took the student card to the elderly to see: "I am a student, grandmother, I am now also an intern reporter of the DPRK News Agency, today I am here to interview you."
“Oh, I have a good interview, and it’s not beautiful.”
The old man smiled shyly, and his thin hands touched the messy hair, "I don't have anything to interview, now, the times are good, I am grateful."
The old man finished and asked, “Daughter, will you take a picture of me?”
"Huh?"Will!"Jiang nodded his head.
She was preparing pen and paper, ready to record the story of the old man.
But at the beginning of this thing, she felt that it was not right, it should not be a paper and pen record, so that she could only remember a few words.
There are some things that you need to know about what she needs.
Recorders or large-capacity phones.
When the old man was a little confused, she staggered up again, took the comb on the table, combed herself a few times, and then gently touched it with her hand, so that her hair was bent on her head.Then the old man sat back next to Jiangyan, with a kind voice.
"There have been people who have come to interview me before, they took pictures of me downstairs, but they are not like your edmaid, but also with my wife I am sitting here for a while."
Grandma began to talk: "I, now there is no Lisuo in the legs and feet, I like to stay at home."Because of my brain, I didn't remember anything for a while, I was afraid to go out and not go back.I'm over eighty, I don't want to die outside."
Jiang Yan's heart moved: "Grandma, you will live a hundred years."
"They have all moved away, and they have moved away for many years, and I've been alone in this building, and I've been here for a long time, and no one has come here for a long time."Grandmother said.
Jiang Yan slightly raised his eyes: “Grandma, why didn’t you move out together?”
The grandmother cracked her mouth again, probably laughing, and she said, “Where am I going to move?”The daughter married in the field, living in the mother-in-law's house, is also not free.The son and daughter-in-law also have a family, and the old man of the daughter-in-law lives with her son, to help bring my grandson.I can understand their difficulties, they let me live in such a large house alone, and I am very satisfied with the bosom."
Jiang frowned: "This is a dangerous building, standing downstairs can be seen, this building has cracks ah."
“Do you remember the big earthquake eight or nine years ago?”At that time, many people died in Sichuan.Although our side is far apart, it is also affected, this building, it was cracked at that time, it has been so many years, no problem."The old man's voice was low, and a word broke, as if he did not even have the strength to speak.
Jiang asked, “Grandma, how long has your son been back?”
The old man thought carefully: "It's been a few years."
She pointed to the dusty TV and said, "He came over that year, it was the New Year, and watched the Spring Festival Evening, which was the year of the dragon."Every year, I look forward to them coming back to see the Spring Festival Evening, but it has been a few Spring Evenings."
Jiang Yan's heart is getting more and more heavy, and the dragon year has been five or six years.
“Grandma, you miss them, why don’t you call them?”If they don’t come back to see you, will they send you money?”Jiang asked again.
The old man broke the words and finally sighed.
“You can’t call, they’re busy, they’re busy at work.I can't do anything at this age, and to help them without adding chaos to them."
He asked, “Did they send you money?”
"I don't want them, they all have a family, where is it so easy to live?"I understand that I am alone, that I can do it, and do not disturb them."The old man said.
He had a little nasal acid and took a deep breath.
“Grandma, will the community give warmth to the poor?”Jiang asked.
The old man thought, "Yes, people used to come to sit at home, but now everyone moved away, there is no one, maybe, but also forget my lonely wife?" 」
Jiang looked at the old man, thinking about his grandparents at home, and felt sad.
From the elderly, we see the greatness of maternal love, and we also see the helplessness and sourness of being abandoned by young children.
Her family also has grandparents, the family mother alone to support the whole family, to take care of the sick bed on the father, but also responsible for the life of the master's milk, but their family's elderly, why not know how to be grateful?
“Grandma, do you know where your son lives and do you have a number?”Jiang asked.
The old man listened, and immediately felt a little nervous: "Daughter, what are you going to do?"Do you want to call him?You don't call, he's busy, you call him, you will delay him, I know you want to help me, but my child, I know, he also has a reason."
Jiang frowned: "Grandma, I just want to do a simple interview with the people of your son this group, not how..."
He said, looking at the old man’s face.
“Grandma, don’t you really want to see your son?”Jiang asked.
The old man waved: "I don't want to see, I am used to living alone, see one side, and I can't see it for a few years, it's better to see it."I'm angry, but I don't know, I'm a mother."
He listened, his heart hurting in his eyes.
“Can’t you send me the contact form?”Jiang asked.
The old man looked at her, "Daughter, how do you ask my son's contact information?"If you don't go to him, he will think that I am ignorant and do not know how to understand him.I am very good now, living in such a large house, you see I will sleep a place, but also empty a room.I am very content, but I am much better for those who don't even have a fixed place to sleep.Don't worry, my wife, I'm fine."
He licked his lips and looked at the old man.
“What can I do for you?”
As a reporter for people's livelihood, she wants to use her lens and identity to record some people and things, and show the most real life.
But what is the purpose of reporting these real cases?
Wouldn’t that help these people?Don't you want to be open in front of the public and alert the world?
The old man was also touched, "Daughter, you are different from the people you interviewed the next time, and after they asked some questions, they left."You, you keep asking, don't sympathize with me, I'm fine."
"It's not sympathy, it's pain, Grandma, I also have older grandparents at home, and I'm more than loving, so I'm sad to see you alone, obviously you have children but can't be reunited with their children."I feel that unless you are separated from life and death, there is no reason to prevent children from filial piety for the elderly.The elderly are righteous.”
He inhaled deeply and his nose was red.
She laughed again, and she said, "Grandma, I know you love your son and daughter, but you are coddling."If you raise them, they should give you old age.You understand them, but they don’t understand you.Grandma, I am not looking for your son's trouble, is there some truth, maybe he forgot in the busy, I as a junior, talk to him, will not hurt him, you think I do this, is it appropriate?" 」
The old man looked at Jiang Yan and stopped talking.
"I must grasp the degree of things, grandmother, you are actually worried that your son will blame you, don't you?"You don't have to worry."Jiang Yan whispered.
The old man sighed gently and said, "The last time they came, they asked some questions, and they did not ask my son's contact information, daughter..."
Jiang Yan put the pen away, "If you think it's really inconvenient, then, forget it."
The old man looked embarrassed and sighed softly.
“Daughter, it’s not that I don’t give it to you, and I don’t know his phone number either.”Moreover, it is useless for you to find him, he does not come, and no one goes to him."The old man's way.
Surprised, there is no number?
So just insisted on not saying, just because... to leave yourself a final face?
“Grandma, do you know where they live?”Jiang asked.
The old man's muttered eyes slightly lit up, and she said, "In Xitang, it seems to live in the city of the century."
