However, happy times are always short-lived, and on that sunny day six years ago, Aunt Yan and her husband were strolling through the streets, they have always been a model of strict observance of traffic rules, and there has never been any violation.
However, it was on that seemingly ordinary day, due to the emptiness and lack of people in the surrounding environment, they were negligent for a moment and actually violated the traffic rules and crossed a red light intersection.
Just when they thought everything was safe, a sudden disaster struck. A speeding truck rushed over, knocking Aunt Yan's husband to the ground in an instant, bleeding profusely.
In just a few seconds, her husband passed away, leaving behind endless regrets and sorrows.
In the face of such a heavy blow, Aunt Yan could hardly bear it. In order to take care of her mother, the daughter had to take her into her own home, which lasted for four years. Under the patient guidance of her daughter, Aunt Yan gradually came out of the shadow of widowhood and rediscovered the hope of life.
Four years later, she finally decided to leave her daughter and return to her hometown on her own.
After returning to her hometown, Aunt Yan started a new life. At first, her life was relatively comfortable. However, an incident happened last year that put her in trouble again. It turned out that the square she usually likes to go to is facing expropriation and demolition, and high-rise buildings are about to be built.
This means that she will no longer be able to dance there, and the news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for her.
Since then, she has had to give up this hobby that has accompanied her through countless good times. lost the good friend of square dance, and Aunt Yan's life became boring and boring.
Whenever she has free time after dinner, she will feel extremely lonely and bored, and can only wander the streets alone, but she can never find a suitable place to pass the time.
However, in her most helpless and desperate moments, the gods of fate reached out to her and opened a door to a new world for her.
In an inadvertent moment, Aunt Yan was strolling through the streets, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a group of people fiddling with something in the distance, which immediately activated the curiosity factor in her heart, so she walked towards the place where the crowd was.
It turned out that it was a chess and card room that had just opened and was carrying out a grand promotional activity, and many elderly friends gathered at the door in order to win more elderly consumers, the chess and card room not only announced that all entertainment items were free in the first two months, but also provided free tea service to all the elderly friends who came to participate in the event.
Since she frequented the chess and card room, Aunt Yan quickly integrated into this group and made many new friends. One of the things that impressed her the most was the 63-year-old man named Lao Zheng.
Lao Zheng introduced himself, he was a glorious retired teacher, enjoyed a generous pension of more than 6,000 yuan per month, and also had a comfortable house with an area of 140 square meters at home, however, just three years ago, he divorced his wife, and now lives aloneAunt Yan is also a widowed old man who has lost her husband, and Lao Zheng is a single divorcee At first, she just regarded Lao Zheng as an ordinary friend, however, a sudden change made their relationship gradually have subtle changes.
Once, Aunt Yan suddenly felt severe pain in her abdomen while playing mahjong, and the pain was unbearable. Just when she was at a loss, Lao Zheng rushed her to the hospital without hesitation. For more than a week in the next week, Aunt Yan has been receiving treatment in the hospital, and Lao Zheng has always been by her side and never abandoned.
In the face of Lao Zheng's meticulous and unreserved care, Aunt Yan was not only full of gratitude, but also gradually sprouted a different kind of emotion in her heart.
Since that day, Uncle Zheng took care of her body, Ms. Yan's feelings for him have burned and spread like a fire. Every time she recalls his gentle care and care for her, a stronger and stronger emotion emerges in her heart - she is deeply grateful to Uncle Zheng for his dedication, and at the same time, she gradually regards him as a trustworthy friend and lover who can confide in her heart.
In Ms. Yan's heart, Uncle Zheng is undoubtedly an almost perfect image of a good man. In addition to his noble personality, he also has superior personal conditions: he has a generous pension of up to 6,000 yuan per month, his family is sitting in a spacious and comfortable mansion, and his two children are also well-known.
More importantly, Uncle Zheng is also a single and divorced person, and there are striking similarities to her situation.
Just when Ms. Yan's feelings for Uncle Zheng were in full swing, a dramatic change was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, instantly shattering all her beautiful expectations. It was an experience in the chess and card room, and Ms. Yan was engrossed in the game in her hand, completely unaware of the next scene.
Several strangers suddenly broke into the chess and card room, breaking the originally lively atmosphere. The leader was a woman, who walked towards Ms. Yan menacingly, her words full of anger; They were followed by two middle-aged men, who shouted at Uncle Zheng, their faces flushed.
Ms. Yan was stunned by this sudden chaos and hurriedly asked Uncle Zheng what had happened.
It turned out that Uncle Zheng did intend to divorce his ex-wife, but he was resolutely opposed by his children. Now, his plan has finally been revealed, and his children have reprimanded him mercilessly.
In this way, all Ms. Yan's expectations for Uncle Zheng to regain a happy life came to naught dramatically at this moment.
In the face of Uncle Zheng's deception, Ms. Yan angrily accuses him of his shameless behavior, while Uncle Zheng keeps apologizing and begging for her forgiveness with guilt. Those present also joined in the condemnation.
In the end, under the persuasion of bystanders, Uncle Zheng fled with his wife and two children and left the chess and card room.
After this thrilling drama, only the lonely and hopeless figure of Aunt Yan was left in the grand chess and card room. She was soaking wet, like a disoriented bird, froze there.
Although no one said anything anymore, she could clearly feel the mockery and contempt in the air, and the scalded humiliation and shock of this moment made her feel extremely embarrassed, she could not hold on to this place any longer, and fled in embarrassment, returning to her warm home without turning back.
The moment Aunt Yan stepped into the house, she fell into a long silence and remorse. She did not disclose the incident to her daughter, but endured the heavy pain alone, reflecting and savoring the painful lesson.
Since then, she has never set foot in the chess and card room that once brought her endless joy, and even developed a deep fear and disgust for the leisure method of mahjong games, because it was in this place that she suffered unprecedented injuries and blows, and saw the complexity and dark side of human nature here.
After this personal experience, Aunt Yan deeply felt that there are all kinds of potential dangers hidden in places such as chess and card rooms, especially for the elderly, and if they are negligent, they can lead to disastrous consequences.
She sincerely hopes that all elderly friends must be careful when choosing entertainment activities, and do not blindly follow them.
More importantly, no matter what kind of environment we are in, what age we are in, we should always maintain a high degree of vigilance, a more rational and prudent attitude, and less naivety that is easily tempted by the outside world.
After all, only by being cautious and steady can we truly stay away from the danger of living in "clothes and food".
In general, through this unforgettable lesson, Aunt Yan not only deeply realized the seriousness of the harm of gambling, but also experienced first-hand that there are unknown traps lurking everywhere in life.
She sincerely hopes that the majority of friends can take this as a lesson and face every detail of life with a more prudent and rational attitude.
