The Story of Happiness Court

Chapter 96 Helpless Sunset ([-])

Some people nowadays, as long as it is a good thing they think, even if the family is very rich, they will compare some public welfare care received by those extremely poor families.

Therefore, we suggest that the matter of the old Liu's family be included in the public announcement list of the community, let all the residents of the community discuss it, and then the minority obey the majority and conduct a mass vote.

Our community can come up with a vote in the final conclusion to support families who really have practical difficulties.

This vote has [-]% effect, so it is a decisive vote.

The seventh case that Qiu Yuning investigated was named "The String of Red Lanterns in Front of the Window" by her. This girl really has a bit of literary talent.

Lin Xianghui's parents have lived in Laochengfang Community for decades. Lin Xianghui's father was originally a clerk in the cultural department. He worked until he retired and finally became a staff member.

The old man is taciturn and has never offended anyone in his life. Unfortunately, now he is always greedy for drinking, and once he drinks, he forgets everything.

When my wife found out that something was wrong, the doctor told her that the old man had suffered a cerebral infarction for a long time, and now it was an old cerebral infarction, with cerebellar atrophy, and his intelligence and behavior had been limited.

My wife is in a hurry. Under the agitation, I actually became incontinent. From then on, as long as my mood fluctuates a little, I am likely to become incontinent again.

The old couple fell into the clutches of the disease.

This was a big blow to their only son and became a huge burden for him.

Their son Lin Xianghui is 50 years old this year and is a taxi driver.

Because of his late marriage, Lin Xianghui's son has just entered the first grade of junior high school.The daughter-in-law is sick and has retired from work as early as two years ago.

His father is 89 years old and his mother is 84 years old.He originally had an older sister and an older brother. When she was in high school, her older sister died of sepsis due to a tooth extraction infection.

And at the end of the year not long ago, my elder brother was hit and killed by a passing car on the spot. The perpetrator escaped, and my sister-in-law was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and she is still unconscious.

As a result, Lin Xianghui's parents no longer had any laughter. One was indulging in a glass of wine, and the other was extremely out of breath under the extreme disorder of autonomic nerves. One of the consequences was that he could not control his urination and defecation, and his mind became confused from time to time.

Therefore, he can only rely on him to take care of the two elderly people.No matter how busy or tired he is every day, he has to visit his parents' house, make a meal, talk to the two old people for a while, and then go home to cook for his wife and children, and wash up. He had to be busy until nearly 12 o'clock at night, and when he returned to his own home, it was already around one o'clock in the morning.

On this day, it was already dark, and as soon as he dragged his tired body into the door of his parents' house, he smelled an unpleasant smell, as if the smell of wine was mixed with the smell of excrement.

He rushed into the back room in three steps and two steps, and seeing his father drinking, he let go of his worries.He still felt that something was wrong, and the smell seemed to be coming from his mother's bed.He opened the bed and saw that his mother was still sleeping, and the stench came out.

Mom is incontinent again.

Since this year, my mother has obviously not been as good as in previous years. Especially recently, she always said that she was very tired, fell asleep as soon as it got dark, and started to lose control of her bladder and bowels.

If you forget to go to the bathroom before bed, you're probably under the covers.This is already the fourth time.

When Lin Xianghui packed everything up, it was already midnight. He didn't know how his wife and children were going to deal with dinner, but he really couldn't care less.

Standing under the night sky, he felt distressed when he thought of his mother's sad appearance just now.My mother still loves herself as much as before, but since the brother's incident happened to her, she has been hit too hard. Her healthy body is getting worse day by day.

Just now, when mother knew that she was on the bed again, she was so sad that she shed tears. She really felt sorry for this little son who had no free time all day long.

Lin Xianghui persuaded his mother in every possible way, isn't raising a son just to prevent old age?How much have you suffered for your children and grandchildren in your life?How much did you suffer?When you get old, isn't it time for your sons and daughters to be filial?If I don't care about you at this time, am I still a person?I also have a son, and he won't care about me at that time, he will say, you don't care about grandma!So don't be sad, everyone will grow old, this is what we as sons should do.

In fact, in the Lin family, both parents had endless work. At that time, selfless dedication was the most important thing, and overtime was a common thing.Therefore, the children receive the least care. Lin Xianghui and his elder brother have developed a strong self-care ability since childhood.

He remembers things early, and he still remembers measles and high fever when he was eight years old.My father is away all year round, and my mother goes to work before dawn.Only my elder brother, who has just entered the fifth grade of elementary school, takes care of himself.

At that time, I couldn't eat anything, I just wanted to drink water.My brother put the white flour steamed buns that he was reluctant to eat next to his pillow, coaxed him to eat, and put a large bowl of boiled water beside him, and then went to school full of worries.

Mom won't be back until late at night.When my brother came back at noon and saw that only the water had been drained but the steamed buns hadn’t moved, he would cry in distress and tried every means to coax him to eat.

My brother also used the early money he saved earlier to buy him very small playing cards, allegorical sayings with pictures, small pictures with furry edges, and small glass balls.

This memory has been firmly engraved in his mind.How much he longed for his parents to be by his side at that time!Therefore, even though his parents are old and need someone to take care of them, he has no thought of disliking him at all. His sincere admiration, attachment, and filial piety towards his parents have won praise from the neighbors around him, and he has become a model for parents to educate their children. .

It's just that he was too tired, and he didn't know how long he could last. Not long ago, the doctor found out that he not only had low blood pressure, but also had symptoms of heart failure.

He was worried that if something happened to him, what would happen to the big family?

Under the night sky, he suddenly remembered that there was one thing he hadn't done.He returned to his parents' house and took out a string of small red lanterns from his bag.Carefully hang it in front of the window, turn on the power, and in an instant, the room is filled with peaceful and rosy light. There is a golden word on each small lantern, which is connected together: auspicious, auspicious, ru, yi, he, jia , Huan, Le, Xing, Fu, Beauty, Full.

These small lanterns entrust Lin Xianghui's hope and longing.

We believe that Lin Xianghui's family is unfortunate, but his kindness and filial piety have created an atmosphere of auspiciousness, family joy, and happiness for this unfortunate family. This is what people in adversity rely on to survive. motivation!

We are still thinking, what should society do for such families on the verge of collapse?

The current Chinese society, from the mainstream point of view, has not yet got rid of the traditional family survival and care model of "birth, care, education, self-reliance-and then reverse: provide for the elderly and send them to the end".
