On November 23, 2019, it was nearly 10 o'clock on the street at night.
"Can I go with you to your house" program team stopped an old man who was about to catch the last train.
As soon as the grandfather opened his mouth, he was stunned.
He drank 15 glasses of water-mixed wine and then played mahjong for 9 hours straight.
Seeing this, the audience and the program team can't help but be curious:
This old man, a handful of age is still so mixed?
The old man's name is Sakamoto Futohito, and he is about to enter the age of ancient rarity.
Hobbies are the daily standard for Japanese bosses: golf and marbles.
Although it looked mixed, the old man said with an arrogant face:
"I'm going to live to be 120!"
Before he finished speaking, he immediately began to talk about his wonderful day:
There is no mistake between playing cards and drinking.
A messy look made the staff curiously ask, "What do you usually do?" (Is there anything serious about it on weekdays)"
Grandpa Sakamoto's answer was surprisingly ordinary and serious:
"Go to work."
Mr. Lao is a clerk in a ship service company, and he has just completed 2 years of this job;
Previously, he had reached the age of 67 in a branch office.
At the beginning, the "scrap wood old master" who was hanging Er Lang Dang disappeared in an instant.
Spelled to this age, why?
This, perhaps, is an old man with a story.
As soon as you enter the house, the house presents a slight contrast with the delicacy and warmth of Grandpa Sakamoto.
The entrance hall is filled with the area around Takuya Kimura, the love beans of her daughter and wife.
This family is full of life, and everyone speculates that the hostess is carefully taking care of it.
The 6 bedroom house, which has not been seen for 18 years, is neat and spacious
Even the program team that is accustomed to seeing a lot of good houses has been praised: what a great home!
After only three seconds of seriousness, Grandpa Sakamoto was skinny again.
Saying "In addition to the area around Aidou, there is also Takuya Kimura Oh ~", sneaking into the kitchen -
I took out a towel with "Kimura" written on it.
"Because it is a gift from Kimura Taxi Company, it is considered to be Kimura Takuya himself."
Although his mouth is not right, the old man is still very serious about life.
Not only will the clothes be ironed, but the fridge is also kept very clean.
The fridge is full of wine, but at home it's just a drink;
Cooking is also a do-it-yourself abundance of food and clothing, only need to overcome the winter rice panning hand is too frozen.
Immediately afterward, the old man's words stunned everyone present:
"Because I live alone."
He led the staff into the bedroom, where a spiritual seat was offered.
"This is my wife."
"She's no longer there."
"She's been gone for 8 years."
"But we were together for 40 years before she died."
"Can you see that?" She loves to laugh and is a very cheerful person. ”
"She cooks deliciously, especially miso boiled mackerel."
Grandpa Sakamoto talked about his wife's cooking, like introducing his own treasure, full of pride.
His wife's specialty food is his own, no one can eat it, and he laughed as he spoke.
Like a child who swears sovereignty over a beloved toy.
Looking at the portrait of his wife, his eyes are full of pampering and nostalgia.
In order to miss his wife, Grandpa Sakamoto has been wearing a ring that has not been removed in the past 8 years.
The old man's love for his wife is overflowing with words.
Speaking of their love experiences, those sweet memories are still vivid.
The social animal who finished the overtime shift late at night met the nurse on the night shift.
Therefore, the two sides fell in love at first sight, and Grandpa Sakamoto boldly confessed.
He was 18 years old at the time, and he had just joined the company that did the ship business, the famous Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Entering a large company, but also embracing the beauty of the return, Sakamoto is the spring breeze is proud.
Who would have thought that he would stay up for 49 years in one job.
Sales companies, high salaries, but also large fluctuations.
If you want to earn more, you have to climb to a higher position.
When Grandpa Sakamoto became vice minister (deputy head of the department), his annual salary exceeded 15 million yen (740,000 yuan).
He allowed the family to live a more privileged life.
However, after the promotion, what awaits him is endless socializing.
Even the weekend time is occupied.
With more money, the joy of heaven is gone.
Seeing him running and toiling like this, his wife was distressed;
He is often asked if he can stop and catch his breath, when is this broken job a head?
I was so busy at work that I couldn't even see my wife.
Because I haven't been able to travel.
The couple's greatest daily pleasure is to go to the marbles arcade together on the weekend, and the loser has to pay the fare for the bus home.
As he got busier, he never went to a pinball shop with his wife again.
So he agreed with his wife that no matter what, breakfast and dinner would be eaten at home.
As a result, his wife waited for him to come but he kept breaking the contract, and he failed to live up to every meal he prepared carefully.
We all feel that the coming to Japan is long, but we forget that things are uncertain.
In April, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, terminal stage.
At this time, Grandpa Sakamoto regretted it:
Is work worth sacrificing all his time with his family?
From the time my wife was diagnosed with cancer until she died, it took less than a year.
Grandpa Sakamoto didn't even have time to say goodbye to her.
What Grandpa Sakamoto couldn't accept the most was that day, he went to work.
Less than 6 minutes after returning home from work, my wife died.
The wife's last words before she left were: I am waiting for the old man to come home.
This sentence has become the only salvation in Grandpa Sakamoto's grief——
It turned out that the wife did not go with a grudge against herself.
His wife didn't blame him, but Grandpa Sakamoto couldn't forgive him.
"Because nothing could be done for her, her leaving was my punishment..."
After she left, he learned to be him.
One person irons clothes, one person washes rice and cooks, and one person looks at Takuya Kimura's poster in a daze.
"When I do these things, I think that my wife used to work so hard."
Although the old man is addicted to alcohol, his home is his pure land.
At home, day after day, he did everything his wife had done.
"It wasn't until she died that I understood how good she was."
Grandpa Sakamoto would carefully clean every room, every corner.
The daughter's room was spotlessly clean, even though she had been married for many years.
(Grandpa Sakamoto's daughter chose to become a nurse like her mother)
In the study, there were comic books.
It's all about his favorite if series, and he has to look at 1,000 volumes a year.
This is the utopia he used to escape.
When the staff asked, what is it in life that feels like it is good?
Grandpa Sakamoto's answer was:
If only I could take her on a trip;
If only she could be happy;
If......
But life is not a cartoon, there is no if.
He fantasized more than once that if he had a chance to do it again, he would do whatever it took —
Let the wife live a happier, happier, full of surprises in life.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
"If you care more about her, just notice her sooner."
Speaking of this sore spot, Grandpa Sakamoto couldn't help but cry.
When his wife was alive, she took good care of him for 40 years.
But after his wife left, he couldn't repay her and make up for her for the same 40 years.
Only then did everyone understand why Grandpa Sakamoto wanted to live to be 120 years old.
For the first half of your life, you spent 40 years taking care of me;
For the rest of my life, I will spend 50 years thinking of you.
I sweep the tomb for you for 50 years until Death takes me away...
2 years and 8 months have passed——
The program team received an invitation from Grandpa Sakamoto to announce a big event.
After a long time of meeting, Grandpa Sakamoto looked more energetic and smiled more than 2 years ago.
He lamented that he was about to turn 72 and that his wife had been gone for 10 years.
Also, the prayer "live to be 120" that no one has forgotten has ever forgotten.
Today, he is no longer addicted to playing mahjong all day;
New hobbies became daily research on new menus.
But the only thing that hasn't changed is that he loves to drink, even more greedy than before.
The program team can't help but speculate: Could it be that there is something big happy about it?
When I got home after drinking, my home was still as tidy as ever.
The wife's spiritual position was also decorated with flowers and plants, and it looked no longer so heavy and depressing.
The only change is that the study is no longer full of comic books, and it is unusually clean.
As everyone visited, they smirked in amazement.
As a result, Grandpa Sakamoto's sentence "These are things that were done before death" made the audience confused.
Last February, he was diagnosed with blood cancer.
Although he had accepted the facts, he still couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"I can't live another 50 years."
"Atonement for my wife's sins, I am probably going to break my word."
Looking at Grandpa Sakamoto's cheerful appearance, who could have imagined that he was terminally ill?
The tongue and throat are sore and almost unable to eat;
He still learns a recipe every day and cooks it carefully.
Grandpa Sakamoto said that after getting the results, he was really depressed for 2 days.
But he immediately packed up his emotions:
"I don't have time to get depressed, I have to hurry up."
So he decided, no matter what, to face cancer with a smile:
"If you don't be cheerful, you can't survive."
Grandpa Sakamoto's wish now became—
Have fun living every day and doing what you want to do;
Then, race against the clock and use the rest of your time to continue to miss your wife.
If the disease really takes me away in advance, then let me smile and hug you.
I am not afraid of death, I am not afraid of the afterlife;
Because death can see you, and in the next life it can meet you.
