Siheyuan, I am He Yushui's classmate

Chapter 419

"How can you talk like this? I'm an old lady in her 80s. I happily collect waste paper and waste products from morning to night and sell them to recycling stations for money. How dare they tell me about them? Are you tired?"

The old lady has four daughters and two sons. If the old lady grew up with six children, it can be regarded as the end of all hardships. The daughters are all married, even a dumb daughter. Well done, but the remaining two sons are also very lucky. One joined the work early before the special period, because of poor family conditions, he joined the work at a young age, and his classmates met when they graduated normally. The educated youth went to the countryside to participate in labor training, and the second son was also left to live in the city because he was a deaf-mute. The most troublesome thing turned out to be such a simple thing when it came to her home. It was not surprising that the two deaf-mute people got a job with the help of their in-laws and their parents-in-law. Even the deaf-mute couple has two very healthy, smart and sensible children who grew up. The neighbors around think that the old lady is very smart and capable, but who knows how much unhappiness she has in her heart?
The uncle Yi Zhonghai listened to the complaints of an old lady next door, and habitually nodded and said yes, there was nothing he could do, so just listen to the complaints!Back then, the old man of her family was also an old colleague of Yi Zhonghai, a very nice person, but he was too tired to get sick and died early. Now thinking about it, it is very sad. The couple are sad every day because they have no children. Every night thinking about what to do when I get old?
Mrs. Li's family lived a hard life because they had too many children. They didn't dare to take a break even when they were sick. Mr. Li died of exhaustion in the factory, hoping to perform better. When wages are increased, people Support and take care of him, or when he gets additional poverty subsidies, please ask people to be a little considerate of his family's special situation (there are two deaf-mute children) and support him a little. Facts have proved that his performance is not in vain, every time He was taken care of, but as the old saying goes, hemp ropes are only cut at tight places!
The more the day passes, the more accidents in such a tense family are more likely to happen!
Old man Li was the first accident!In fact, Grandpa Yi Zhonghai thought it was no accident!It's because he calculated that his life was too tense, the slightest difference, which is a trivial matter to others, may become a fatal matter to him!

But how should I say this to the old lady?This old lady is almost 80 years old, more than ten years older than him!

After waiting for the old lady to vent her emotions for a while, she slowly stabilized.

"Big sister, do you think your family's life is going well now? That's if you don't pick up scraps and sell them for money."

"Hey, that's just a supplement. How many things can I pick up? Ordinary people who are valuable are reluctant to throw away! I just want to be old and old, and I don't have a pension (but there is widow's allowance, which is not much money). Do you want to add some money to the second son's family? Otherwise, their family's life is too tense!"

"Let me put it bluntly, you have pushed yourself too hard, and you have pushed your children too hard!
You are all picking up waste paper and selling it for money. Will your sons dare to work hard?
Your two sons and four grandchildren are all very good children, but in the face of today's environment, they are doing their best to live like this!They don't have much talent or skills, so why should they live better than others?

The eldest son said that he was very tired and had nowhere to vent. He chose to talk to the eldest sister because his wife was in poor health and could not earn much money. She retired from illness early, but he had to maintain the family alone. The expenses are inevitably a bit tiring. If he doesn't tell you what's on his mind, why should he tell his wife who is in poor health?Isn't that asking for trouble?The eldest grandson also said that he was very tired. That was because he wanted to change the family situation, so he studied hard and hoped to get into college, and then...

In fact, they are all very tired, and they all want to change the economic conditions of their families through their own efforts, but each of them needs the help of others to realize their own ideas, and no one has carefully considered whether they have the conditions to realize their own ideas. have!No one communicates with each other to understand each other's needs, but blindly pursues their own ideals and expects help from others. They are not working hard for themselves, but they are all working hard for a common goal. They are all very good people. My child, are you a little too impatient? "

"Oh...? Xiaoyi, tell me carefully, it seems that this is really the case at home, but what should I do?"

"Can you take the lead and ask them to coordinate more with each other? At least make their lives more comfortable. At least there should be a limit to their efforts to ensure that everyone in the family can live a normal life. If you work a little harder, Don’t try too hard, and everyone does this, isn’t that going to cause problems?”

"Yes, that's it, but where should we start?"

"It starts with you picking up waste products. First of all, you are indeed a bit older, so don't pick up waste paper anymore. If there is any emergency, it will be troublesome! Don't worry about spending money, people will suffer, and you will have to drag it down Others, so you don’t pick it up. If you really want to pick up waste paper, let them go. If you feel embarrassed during the day, then go after dark. If you find other ways, use other ways to make money. Principle Just don't be too tired, they are not young anymore. Being too tired is not good!"

"It's true, I really can't do it anymore, I'm too old, I can't do it anymore, just let fate! I am also worthy of myself, and I am also worthy of the old man. Even if I told him a lie back then, it is enough for him! This is his life!"

"Hey, it's all over, don't care about the past, just focus on the person in front of you!"

"Yeah! I'm just a little too greedy. I always feel that if..."

"You can't work harder. You can relax a little bit, and the children can relax a little bit. Live a tighter life. It will get better in a few years. Your grandchildren will naturally solve the problem when they grow up. It's not big, let's transition naturally!"

"Hahaha, people become greedy when they get old. Once they walk in, they can't walk out! I'm tired, and so are they!"

"Take your time! There's no rush!"
