Chapter 279 Uncle Yang’s Wish

Looking at the various projects in the water park, the old men's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light.

"You guys smash it! We want to see if it's naked. No, it's because we want to play with it!"

Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he looked at the old men with stars in his eyes.

"You just like to see girls wearing less fabric, right?"

Uncle Li looked at Lu Chen in front of him, folded his hands and said confidently:

"Don't tell us you don't like watching it!"

Lu Chen did not refute these words, but looked helplessly at the elders in front of him.

"Aren't we here to make Uncle Yang's wish come true?"

"How come you guys started playing first?"

The elders all looked towards Uncle Yang.

"Old Yangtou! Don't tell us that you don't like looking at beautiful women!"

"It's Lao Yangtou. If you say this, brother, I think you are a bit pretentious!"

"Yeah, what's the point of riding on the old Yangtou Ferris Wheel? Does it have any pretty girls?"

"..."

In the middle of the crowd, Uncle Yang's face turned red as everyone talked about him.

But he looked at Lu Chen very firmly.

"I still want to ride the Ferris wheel!"

After hearing Uncle Yang's choice, all the uncles present fell silent.

Lu Chen couldn't help but feel curious when he looked at Uncle Yang who was so determined in front of him.

"Uncle Yang, why do you have to ride the Ferris wheel?"

Of the two opportunities to wish, Uncle Yang only used one.

And in the face of everyone's persuasion, he seemed unusually firm, which made Lu Chen couldn't help but become curious.

In response, Uncle Yang just tremblingly took out a pocket watch from his arms.

This pocket watch is not exquisite. From today's perspective, it may be called crudely made.

The brass watch body is full of scratches, and the dial is engraved with ancient Roman numerals, but the hands have stopped rotating long ago.

Lu Chen looked at Uncle Yang with some confusion, and the uncles around him also became confused.

"Old Yangtou, what do you mean by this watch?"

"Yeah, what are you doing with your broken pocket watch?"

At this moment, tears were already filling Uncle Yang's eyes.

"This is a gift from my wife... It's been forty-two years now. My only wish in this life is to ride the Ferris wheel with her again. Unfortunately, she left too fast. …”

"My head is too dizzy now and I can't remember a lot of things, so I want you to help me..."

Listening to Uncle Yang's words, everyone present looked stunned.

The old men who were clamoring to go to the water park to see the girl also looked at Lu Chen.

"Young man, please help Lao Yang. His Alzheimer's disease is very serious. Now he can't even think of going to ride the Ferris wheel. We won't go see the girls. You can go and help Lao Yang!"

"Yes! We will definitely not run around this time. You can take Lao Yang to ride the Ferris wheel!"

The photographer also looked at Lu Chen with a sympathetic expression.

"Brother, please help Uncle Yang!"

Lu Chen looked at the people around him and scratched his head helplessly.

"When did I say I won't help? Aren't I a little curious about why Uncle Yang has to ride the Ferris wheel?"

Although he also wanted to go to the water park to see some beautiful girls in cool clothes.

But things have priorities, and Uncle Yang's matter is more important to them right now. Lu Chen took the elders to the ticket office of the Ferris wheel. Considering the elders' health, Lu Chen did not plan to take the elders to ride the Ferris wheel together this time.

"You guys just wait for me obediently. If something goes wrong, I won't bring you here next time!"

"Don't worry! No problem!"

Looking at the elders nodding so cheerfully.

Lu Chen was still a little worried. He turned to look at Zhao Chenghe and the photographer, and warned:

"You two, help me keep an eye on the old men, don't let them run away!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen helped Uncle Yang get on the Ferris wheel.

The driver master and Luo Xiaoxi behind him also followed.

The Ferris wheel, which could originally accommodate six people, suddenly became a little crowded.

Lu Chen looked at Luo Xiaoxi and the driver wearing a scarf in front of him with a strange expression.

"If you two want to ride the Ferris wheel, I will buy new tickets for you. Why are you following me?"

Luo Xiaoxi rolled her eyes and looked at Lu Chen.

"Who wants to ride the Ferris wheel? We want to hear Uncle Yang's story."

Lu Chen's expression became even weirder and he looked at the driver beside him.

"Master driver, are you also curious about the story behind Uncle Yang???"

The driver shook his head quickly and spoke in broken Mandarin.

"No! There is no such thing in my hometown, so I want to come up and try it!"

Perhaps sensing the driver's embarrassment, Luo Xiaoxi quickly changed the topic and looked at Uncle Yang curiously.

"Uncle Yang, can you tell us your story?"

As a long-term volunteer at a nursing home, she didn't know much about Uncle Yang, who was basically confused all day long.

I only know that when Uncle Yang was confused, he often called Xiuyun, which seemed to be the name of his late wife.

As for the story, even Xiao Zhao, who is a caregiver, doesn’t know.

Uncle Yang looked at the pocket watch in his hand and scratched his head, feeling a little shy.

"Actually, it's nothing. Xiuyun and I were both orphans during the war. We grew up eating the food of the village. Later we got married and had children."

"Although neither of us has any special skills, we can endure hardships. We support each other and work together to make food and clothing for the whole family. As for later..."

Uncle Yang couldn't help but choked up in his voice.

"Later on, our child became successful and went to work in the county. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The child was diagnosed with lung cancer before she got married. She also missed her so much that she cried her eyes out. She left not long after... …”

"This pocket watch was the last gift she gave me. It was on the Ferris wheel. In order to treat her child's illness, she went to work in the city during the day and did needlework at night."

"After four or five years of saving, the child still couldn't be saved in the end, and she passed away because of this..."

At this point, the atmosphere inside the Ferris wheel suddenly became silent.

Even Lu Chen, who was always cheerful and funny, lowered his head and fell silent.

Although Uncle Yang's words were brief, it was not difficult for them to feel a difficult love that spanned more than half a century.

In the end, after working hard for most of my life, I stood at the end of my life and stared at the past, but I was still alone.

This kind of indescribable loneliness and sadness makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

Uncle Yang seemed to notice everyone's sadness and hurriedly wiped his tears with his worn cuffs.

"Okay, why are you talking so sad?"

"As you get older, all you think about is what happened in the past. I originally said I didn't want to come to this sad place, but in the end I couldn't help but want to come and see it."

"Old man, I don't remember things very well, so I just want to come here again while I'm awake. Even if I can't see the scenery with her, at least it will be regarded as fulfilling a wish."
