Li Yichen asked the old man to sit down, and then he filled two bowls of porridge and brought them to the dining table.
"Uncle, can I take a photo first?"
Li Yichen ran around for two hours tonight and was rejected dozens of times just for the meal in front of him, so he felt it was very memorable and wanted to take a photo of it as a souvenir.
"Okay, you can take pictures. Haha, my kids like this too. If the person doesn't eat, the machine will eat first."
The old man had a cheerful smile and waited patiently for Li Yichen to take pictures.
"Okay, uncle, you eat first."
Li Yichen put away his cell phone and asked the old man to use his chopsticks first, and then started eating.
The simple meal was incomparable to any delicious delicacies at this moment, and Li Yichen even ate it with the momentum of gobbling it up.
The main reason is that I am hungry. I have been very nervous since about five o'clock. I have been running around in the cold wind for more than two hours. Now that I am sitting in a warm room, I feel relaxed and my hands and feet are weak from hunger.
"The food is pretty good. Young people like you are rare these days..."
Unlike Li Yichen who devoured his food voraciously, the old man chewed his food slowly and with his own grace.
"It's just a simple stir-fry...thank you, uncle..."
Li Yichen blushed a little when he was praised.
"Please Give Me a Meal" inherits Wang Gaoming's previous variety show style. It also has no script, only a general framework and rules, and the rest is entirely up to Li Yichen's free play.
"Uncle, I have something curious..."
After eating, Li Yichen asked the old man.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
“Do you wear a suit every day?”
When the old man heard Li Yichen's question, his hands holding the vegetables paused, and then he smiled.
"Just today...I took a photo of myself in the afternoon, so I wore a suit and dyed my hair."
"Oh……"
Li Yichen didn't expect that the old man was dressed so formally today because he was going to take a posthumous photo of himself. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he was unable to say a word because of all his thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Li Yichen recovered some of his language skills.
"Why... why did uncle suddenly want to take a photo of his body? Uncle still looks so young..."
"I'm not young. I'm 81 this year, and I've been feeling a little bit lately..."
The old man repeated: "I seem to have feelings..."
"How could it be possible? Uncle looks so tough."
Although the old man didn't say it clearly, Li Yichen knew what the "feeling" the old man was talking about, so he could only comfort him.
"It's not good... my voice is hoarse and I can't do any work anymore. I watered the flowers on the balcony in the morning and I feel a little dizzy... So, I thought, it's time to prepare and start preparing for the aftermath. …”
There was some sadness, some relief, and some helplessness in the old man's words.
"No matter how old you are, you will die..."
"uncle……"
Li Yichen choked up instantly. He knew that all words seemed extremely pale at this moment in front of an old man facing death.
"Uncle, now everyone can live to be a hundred years old..."
"Longevity to a hundred years... Yes, my children often tell me this during Chinese New Year and holidays, but I am your grandfather... I cannot live to be a hundred years old."
"Is it possible that... uncle feels uncomfortable, but it is actually some minor illness..."
The old man felt the care and comfort in Li Yichen's words, which warmed his heart.
"Actually, I had gastric cancer surgery before, and I recovered for a while, but I felt uncomfortable again two years ago. I went to the hospital for a checkup and had to have surgery, but the doctor advised not to do it because I was older...
In fact, it’s okay to just leave like this, without adding any burden to my family. Now I can take care of myself, and I can still move around, and prepare myself secretly... This is... a bit desolate..."
As the old man spoke, his lips trembled slightly, and there was a hint of choking.
"When I was alive, I didn't cause any trouble to the children...I left and buried them in the soil, and I didn't want to burden them."
"Uncle, it's not like that... I think uncle prepared this secretly without telling the family. If the elder brothers and sisters knew about it, they would definitely feel uncomfortable. They must hope that uncle, you can go to the hospital for conservative treatment..."
"No, if you keep going to the hospital, you will cause trouble for them."
The old man interrupted Li Yichen with a determined expression.
"I have lived to this age without falling into the hospital, having no surgery, nothing bad, nothing. I don't want to cause trouble to them, I just want to leave with dignity and dignity."
"Uncle, this is not a problem..."
"When you get to my age, you'll think it's trouble."
The old man put down his chopsticks and didn't want to continue talking to Li Yichen about this matter. He didn't cry when he went to the photo studio to take the photos of his body alone today, and now he didn't want to cry because of chatting with Li Yichen.
"Oh, today is a good day. I took some photos, and I happened to meet you guys filming a show. I'm going to a nice place with my wife. It's fate that we meet. Can I take a photo with you?"
"Of course, uncle, let's take a group photo."
Li Yichen nodded quickly and agreed. He couldn't do anything for the old man, he could only try his best to meet the old man's small request. He looked at Wang Gaoming, and Wang Gaoming's eyes were already red at this time.
"Director Wang?"
"I, I'll find a location with good lighting."
Wang Gaoming sniffed and looked a little confused.
"My grandson is as old as you...how old are you?"
The old man asked Li Yichen kindly.
"I'm 27 this year..."
Li Yichen took advantage of the situation and changed his words: "Grandpa."
"Hey, that's still one year younger than my grandson, haha... You are all good kids."
Wang Gaoming found a location to take pictures and guided the old man there. Li Yichen held the old man's arm and looked at the camera lens in front of him. He wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
The old man faced the camera lens for the second time today. His tears could no longer be held back and flowed down directly.
"Haha... In the end... I cried because of you... I didn't want to cry today, but I actually shed tears, haha..."
The room was quiet for a moment, except for the sound of sobbing. Everyone couldn't hold it back and cried.
After a while, Wang Gaoming silently handed tissues to the old man and Li Yichen.
The old man took the tissue, wiped his tears and nose, looked directly into the camera lens, and comforted Li Yichen.
"Okay, don't cry. Be happy when taking pictures. Come on, smile."
When Li Yichen heard this, he almost cried again. He looked up at the ceiling and tried his best to hold it back. After a while, he sat upright, smiled, and looked at the camera lens.
"Click"
A photo with special meaning was frozen forever.
After taking photos and chatting about some light topics, it was getting late. Li Yichen quickly cleared the dining table and washed the dishes. Not wanting to disturb the old man's rest, he said goodbye.
"Thank you for ringing my doorbell today."
The old man's face returned to its previous cheerful smile.
"No, no, no, we want to thank you..."
Li Yichen took a step forward and hugged the old man.
"OK OK……"
The old man patted Li Yichen on the back.
"Good boy, I hope your future journey will go smoothly."
Chapter 231 Years Ago (Please subscribe)
After bidding farewell to Zheng Yong's home, Li Yichen and the program team walked for a while in silence. Under the yellowing street lights, Li Yichen had a lot of thoughts. Because he is also a screenwriter, he has more abilities than ordinary people. Strong ability to empathize.
The ability to empathize is also called empathy by some, or more modernly known as "emotional intelligence", and more popularly known as "heart-centeredness".
The ability to empathize is to habitually put yourself in someone else’s shoes, put yourself into someone else’s situation, feel and understand what others are thinking at the moment, and share joy and sorrow with them.
Li Yichen rarely cried. It should be said that he had almost never cried since he was adopted by Li Gang. Whenever life was not going well and the pressure increased sharply, Li Yichen preferred to face challenges and difficulties with a smile.
What's the use of crying?
Does crying solve problems?
unable.
This is something Li Yichen understood when he was very young.
Only by working hard can you truly help yourself out of trouble.
However, today, when he unexpectedly met the strongest man in his life, Zheng Yong, Li Yichen cried uncontrollably. He could understand why Zheng Yong was like this, because his father, Li Gang, who also had a strong personality, was also 69 this year. , and only considers others, so when Li Yichen heard old man Zheng Yong calmly say "I'm going to take a photo of the deceased today", his guard was instantly broken.
Li Yichen knew that this kind of thing was an unsolvable problem. The old man was right, and so were the children.
This is how life is, generation after generation.
It’s just because I understand that it makes me feel even more uncomfortable.
"Are you off work? Is today's recording finished?"
Li Yichen turned to ask Wang Gaoming.
"It's over, it's over. Turn off the camera. Let's go. I'll treat everyone to dinner. We've worked hard today."
Wang Gaoming was also thinking about something. He was awakened by Li Yichen's question. When he came to his senses, he immediately announced the end of today's recording, and then asked Li Yichen: "Xiao Chen, will you follow us and eat more?"
"No, it's too late today. It's almost ten o'clock. I have to go home."
Li Yichen declined politely. He was pulled out by Wang Gaoming to record a variety show today without any preparation. He had to worry about his family again. It was nothing, so he had better go home early.
"Thank you for your hard work, see you next time."
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
