dream village

Zhang Tao hadn't visited these two old people for almost half a year. He didn't expect them to be so ill. The distance from death was within reach!This hard-fated couple originally had a son in their old age. Under their painstaking efforts, the son finally grew up and had a promising future. The family life is getting better every day, and they are enjoying their daughter-in-law happily. Unexpectedly, an accidental car accident took the life of his son and destroyed everything.

Is there anything more tragic than losing a child in old age, and it is still a single seedling, and has not left a continuation of incense?The two elderly people who were already suffering from illnesses all collapsed in an instant because of the departure of their sons.Although the filial daughter-in-law took good care of them, no matter how good the medicine was, it could not heal their lifeless hearts.

"Tugu, help me help my dad. I'll wipe his body. After two days, Mrs. Langui in Wanli is not at home, so I can't handle it alone." Taohua stood beside the bed and said to Zhang Tao.She was holding a towel that had just been wrung out from the washbasin.

Zhang Tao walked over quickly and helped her father up.What a body!It seems to be a dried human specimen.Except for some extremely thin bones supporting it, there is almost no meat, only a thin layer of skin left.I am afraid that there are no cells in his body with physiological functions, and the remaining cells may not even bother to clean up the serious illness.

Sister Tao gently took off the old man's clothes and pants, and began to scrub his whole body.She wiped it very attentively and meticulously, as if she was bathing her own child, without any disgust or disgust on her face.When she wiped the penis under the old man's house, which was degraded and thinner than the tip of chopsticks, she was not shy or shy, and even picked it up with her hands and wiped it clean repeatedly.

Although Zhang Tao has helped Sister Tao do this many times, when he just helped the old man up, the smell of the old man who had been paralyzed on the bed for a long time, or the smell of decay, came to his nostrils. The crumpled, thinner than paper, As soon as the skin that seemed to be peeling off from his body touched his hands, his whole body still couldn't stop trembling, with complex feelings of fear, fear, pain, nausea and so on.

Sister Tao frowned when she saw Zhang Tao's reaction, and said seriously: "Tugu, a person must be caring, especially for the elderly. The elderly need more care than children. You must know that each of us has old people. Sometimes, as long as you think that this may be what you look like when you are old, you will not have disgust and fear in your heart. Love not only contains all the beautiful emotions in the world, but also can drive away or dissolve those pains, fears, hatred, Emotions like guilt."

What Zhang Tao said made Zhang Tao's face flushed, he was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.Sister Tao ignored Zhang Tao's embarrassment, and turned to her mother-in-law while scrubbing, "Mom, did Dad eat anything today?"

It took a long time to hear her mother-in-law's answer, "About half a spoonful of porridge." When she said this, her mother-in-law's mouth didn't move at all. illusory.

"Mom, you also need to eat more. Look at the meals prepared for you at noon. You haven't moved at all. How can you have the energy to take care of Dad if you don't eat?" Although Sister Tao said it was her mother's fault, her tone But there is no complaint in the slightest, but full of deep love.

"Mom, if you have nothing to do, you should move around more. Don't sit by Dad's bed all the time. It's not good for your health. Let the past go. What's the use of being anxious and in pain? Look at you for a day Sitting like this at night, your bones are getting thinner every day, how can this work? Dad is already like this, do you want to add another one lying on the bed? I want a sports car every day, and it depends on you to take care of Dad And this home..." Sister Tao said a lot as gently and considerately as she was talking to a child.

When she was nagging and wanted to continue, her mother-in-law interrupted her with a sudden dry howl.This dry howl was miserable and sharp, containing the deepest pain and misfortune in the world.Perhaps the tears of sorrow had already dried up, but her mother-in-law's sunken eyes were shining brightly, but not a single tear came down.

"Sister! Why is our life so hard! You said that the good days have just begun, and they are gone before you taste it. This dead old man is paralyzed on this bed, dying and not dying. You should die sooner." Well, I will go down with you earlier to accompany my son, so as not to drag my wife down here."

"Sister!" Her mother-in-law cried out sadly, "Although you have not been with Cheng Gu for a long time, you have treated us better than your own daughter. You have treated us well enough, don't bother us anymore Half of your body has been buried in the loess, you should also think about your own affairs, whether to stay in this house or marry out, you can do whatever you want. I don’t want to stay in this world for a day anyway , just wait for this old man to die, and I will follow him as soon as he dies. I only suffer from you, my good girl, and I have nothing left for you, and you will not enjoy a day of happiness in our family. "

After a pause, she let out a long sigh and said, "My sister, the only thing I'm looking forward to now is that you can find a good support after we leave, so that we can feel at ease underground." Mu Ran looked like a living dead.

Tears rolled down Sister Tao's cheeks and fell onto her father-in-law's scrubbed body one by one.Her father-in-law seemed to be affected by the tears and moved a bit.

Sister Tao wanted to say something more, but grief blocked her throat, making her unable to say a word.She could only pour all her love into this delicate scrubbing action with tears in her eyes.

All this fell into Zhang Tao's eyes, which made him really mixed. He was sad for the family and the two old people, moved for Sister Tao, and even more ashamed of his own behavior.What is the pain of my failure compared with the sufferings of these two old people?Compared with Sister Tao, what is the strength and fraternity that I have always boasted about?That is really the light of rice grains competing with the sun and the moon!Sister Tao suddenly became extremely brilliant and beautiful in Zhang Tao's heart, and it also became a mirror for him to be alert to himself at all times in his future life.

After helping the father-in-law to wash his body, Sister Tao said, "Mom, I'm going to cook later, you have to eat something even if you hold back!"

Her mother-in-law still didn't reply, she was only thinking carefully about the days before her death, hoping that this day would come sooner.
