The Story of Happiness Court

Chapter 94 Helpless Sunset ([-])

As a result, Mrs. Song was "asleep" all afternoon, then pretended to be unconscious, and lay down with her eyes closed all night, and then "woke up" after another morning.

After the "old guy" begged for mercy, she walked out of the ward door as a winner, and spread the "crime" of the "old guy" everywhere until everyone avoided her.

When the dusty son rushed back to his parents' house, the war and peace between the two elders had disappeared.

His son Song Jiajun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, not to mention that he was worried and thinking wildly all the way, and he still hasn't gotten a single drop of water, so that big business deal just went to waste.

Song Jiajun complained to others more than once: How did I have such parents?You've been fighting all your life, haven't you had enough?

In fact, if there is a buffer zone between the old couple, such as a grandchildren or something, things will not develop so badly.It's a pity that Song Jiajun has been divorced for many years, and his child lived with his ex-wife, and he had already separated from him, so he had to struggle between his career and the elderly. In his words, it was miserable.

Small conflicts like this continue, but there are no major conflicts. They have been fighting for a lifetime. The two old people are tired of each other, but they are getting older and cannot do without each other. The real trouble is their only son.

Everyone can judge, do people like the old couple of the Song family also need to live in Xingfuyuan?After all, both his son and the old couple have applied, and they are both over 80 years old. If they do not agree, problems may arise at any time.

Leng Hanhui couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this case. This world is really colorful. There are all kinds of people, all kinds of families, and all kinds of weird things can happen.

So, this is life.

It's hard for an upright official to break up housework, so he has no choice but to continue.They are already so old, as long as they keep an eye on them and don't let them really make trouble, it will be success.

The fifth case was poetically named "Train Sonata" by Qiu Yuning

Mr. Qiu's parents' home is in Laochengfang Community of Tianhai City, which is close to the old residential area in the north of the old city in the South District.

Qiu Yuning wrote that when we investigated this family, Mr. Qiu happened to come home from the south to visit his parents.

His parents are now in their 80s, and the old couple live in a single room on the third floor.

Usually, unless the family ran out of rice and vegetables, they never went downstairs, because their legs and feet were inconvenient. Once, the old lady fell down the stairs on the second floor, and she never went downstairs again.

It was the old man who went downstairs tremblingly to buy vegetables, and sometimes the neighbors brought them home with them.

After graduating from university, he worked in the Pearl River Delta region in the south. Later, he got married and started a business in Zhuhai. His wife and children are all locals.

In this way, his heart must be divided into two halves, one half in Tianhai City and the other half in Zhuhai City.

It's a long way. For many years, his biggest wish is whether the railway can also issue monthly tickets like buses.

Apart from having to go home to honor the elderly during the holidays like other people whose parents live in different places, Mr. Qiu would be afraid even if he didn't go back to his parents' house for ten and a half months.

He can't help but wonder, will his parents encounter troubles at home that he can't imagine?

Will the parents fall again?Will it be freezing outside?Could it be that something happened to the overnight meal that I couldn't bear to throw away?

This is a kind of illness, a suspicion of imagining what kind of bad things might happen to the parents.The filial sons and daughters who work in other places often have this problem.

Although he worked hard for most of his life, he didn't save much money. The main reason was that he spent all his money on the railway.Spent on buying nutritional supplements for parents.

Mr. Qiu said helplessly that if everyone was like me, China's railways would prosper.

In fact, 20 years ago, Mr. Yau did not run as frequently as he does now.At that time, his parents were still young and healthy, and like others, he only went home to reunite with his parents during the holidays.

But slowly, I don’t know when it started, about 12 years ago after my mother’s appendicitis operation, the number of calls from my parents suddenly increased. What, wait.

Once this call is made, it will be endless.Sometimes it takes more than two hours to say it.His parents were working backwards to grab the microphone to talk to him, so he had to listen, and from time to time he said something that his parents were happy with.

He paid for his parents' phone bills.

However, as long as the parents are happy, Mr. Qiu doesn't take it seriously.

In this way, he also started to make phone calls to his parents' home. Every time he finished the phone call, his parents' irritability would be effectively relieved, but suddenly one day, Mr. Qiu found that the cost of calling was too staggering. I can't spend so much money for a trip home.

In recent years, WeChat has appeared, so Mr. Qiu tried to teach his parents to use WeChat to video chat with himself.It's a pity that the parents didn't want to change their mobile phones, so Mr. Qiu bought them a smart phone and taught them how to do it over and over again.

At that time, they studied very hard and basically knew how to use WeChat. However, when he returned to Zhuhai, his parents called again!

Forgot, forgot how to video.This is the parent's answer.

So, he understood that the memory of the old couple was greatly declining, which was a sign of Alzheimer's disease!

Like a bolt from the blue, this idea took root in Mr. Qiu's head.

Don't worry, he hurriedly bought a train ticket and headed home. This time, he will take his parents to Zhuhai no matter what!

However, the two elderly people disagreed with life and death to leave their home, and they seemed normal and did not behave strangely.

However, no matter how Mr. Qiu taught the elders to use WeChat, the elders still waited for him to arrive in Zhuhai, and the phone call followed.

For no other reason, they forget about this very simple form of communication.

So as long as he has time, he buys some local parents' favorite food every now and then, and then takes the train back to his parents' house.

Going back and forth has become a habit, coupled with the fact that his parents are getting older and the interval is longer, Mr. Qiu is worried about it and panics.

As soon as I hear the phone ring, I wonder if something happened to my parents?Later, when the phone rang, his daughter-in-law rushed to answer it, while he stood by and nervously waited for the "bad news".He didn't let out a long breath until he heard that his parents were safe and sound.His daughter-in-law said he suffered from "telephone phobia".

In recent years, both parents have passed the age of 80, their bodies are not as good as before, their words and deeds are becoming more and more like children, and their attachment to him is getting stronger and stronger.

He couldn't remember how many times he wanted to take his parents with him, but they just refused to leave their hometown.So Mr. Qiu had to take the train back to his parents' house almost every two weeks to a month.

Hearing the indiscernible clang of the train's steel wheels touching the rails, Mr. Qiu was filled with bitterness.

His unit efficiency is getting worse and worse, and his salary is getting less and less, but his parents are more and more urgent to ask him to go home.He didn't know when such a day would be the end?

Mr. Qiu said that he wished he could do it well, and he felt that it was too much for him both financially and mentally.Thinking about the happy scene of family reunion every weekend, I feel guilty towards my wife and children.

But parents who love cleanliness, there are always mountains of laundry to be washed at home, and there are endless housework, and only you can do it yourself.

Sitting on the train, Mr. Qiu, who had been tired all day, slowly fell asleep listening to this simple sonata that sounded like a whisper, and only in the dream would he get temporary relief.
