My name is Uncle Wang, and I am 70 years old this year. I am an ordinary retired worker, I have worked hard all my life, and my monthly pension after retirement is only 4,500 yuan. In order to save money and trouble, I stayed at my son Wang Ming's house.
Wang Ming has been married for many years, and his daughter-in-law is called Liu Mei, who is an ordinary housewife. I lived in their living room with a bunk on the floor, and I lived there for more than two years. I watch TV at home during the day and go to bed at night. At first, I thought it was good, and it was a blessing for me to have children with me in my later years.
But lately I've noticed that I've been causing a lot of trouble for their family. I am old, my body is not very bright, and I need my daughter-in-law Liu Mei to serve me back and forth for washing and eating. I also wanted to do it myself, but the old man always broke the dishes. I could see that Liu Mei was starting to get a little impatient, but she still took care of my daily life.
Late last night, I suddenly couldn't sleep. The house was quiet, and I heard my son Wang Ming and daughter-in-law Liu Mei talking.
"The old man has nothing to do at home every day, he knows how to watch TV. The house was small, and it felt like he was taking up quite a bit of space. Liu Mei's voice floated out of the room.
"He's my dad after all, and it's not easy, so let him live. Wang Ming said.
"But it's not easy for us, you see that the old man's pension is 4,500 yuan a month, and he doesn't help with housework very much, so he feels like he is eating for nothing. ”
When I heard this, I felt a sigh in my heart, because they were going to send me back to my hometown! I felt very uncomfortable, because in their eyes, I was a burden to eat nothing.
"It's good to send it back, just to make room and save trouble. That's it!" Liu Mei's tone sounded a little excited.
"Well, it seems like a solution. But tell my dad slowly, don't irritate him. Wang Ming seemed to agree.
I lay on the bed, my heart twisting like a knife. My own children dislike me, and this is too hard for me. I worked hard to raise them, but I didn't expect to be driven back to my hometown in my old age. I gritted my teeth and held back tears until dawn before dawn.
"Dad, morning. Come and eat. Wang Ming greeted me as usual.
I sat down silently, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. There was silence at the dinner table, and there was no longer the sound of the conversation of the past.
At noon, her daughter-in-law Liu Mei was still silent. I couldn't help it, so I said, "Mei'er, what's wrong with you today?
"Oh no, I'm fine. Liu Mei glanced up at me and looked away.
After lunch, Liu Mei began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. I plucked up the courage and said, "Mei'er, do you think I've been causing you trouble lately?" Why don't I go back to my hometown, which happens to have a lot of empty houses. ”
Liu Mei was startled, and the chopsticks fell to the ground, with a "click".
"Dad, what do you say, how can you let you go back to your hometown to live alone!" Liu Mei said hurriedly.
I knew she was pretending, and immediately said, "Mei'er, you don't have to pretend." I heard you tell Wang Ming last night that you were going to send me back to my hometown. I know I'm getting old, and I'm causing you trouble. You're right, I'll go back to my hometown. ”
Liu Mei panicked all of a sudden, she squatted down, took my hand and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, it's not good for us." Don't take it to heart. We didn't think it through for a while, so don't go. ”
I was silent, still sad in my heart.
At this time, Wang Ming went home. When he saw this, he also understood what was happening, and hurriedly came over to persuade me.
"Dad, we were wrong, don't go. We will definitely take good care of you. ”
I still didn't speak. Wang Ming and Liu Mei knelt in front of me, desperately begging me to stay.
"Dad, we really know what we're wrong, and we swear that we'll take care of you forever. Please don't go, give us a chance to make amends. Wang Ming said with teary eyes.
Seeing the two children crying and kneeling on the ground, my heart was a little bit
Seeing my children crying and kneeling on the ground, my heart softened a little.
"Okay, okay, I'm not leaving. Arise also, both of you. I sighed and asked the two of them to get up, "My old bones, how can I go back to my hometown to live, if you think I'm troublesome, just say it, I'll find a nursing home to live in." ”
"Dad, don't say that!" Wang Ming hurriedly said, "Where can we trouble you, we just didn't think it through for a while, and said something that hurt your heart." We swear that we will take good care of you and will never let you live in a nursing home!"
Liu Mei also nodded, wiping her tears and said, "Dad, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have said that about you." It is our blessing that you can live here, and I will be filial to you in the future, and treat you like a father and mother. ”
Seeing their sincere repentance, my heart is also better. Maybe I'm really careless, and my children also have their own difficulties.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it for the two of you, I'll just spare you. I waved my hand and motioned for them to get up.
Wang Ming and Liu Mei stood up at this time, with tears still on their faces. My heart softened, and I opened the conversation and said: "I also understand your difficulties, after all, you also have to work to support your family, and you have to take care of me, an old man, and the pressure is indeed not small." It's just that as a father, I still hope to be taken care of by you in my later years, and I don't want to live in a nursing home. Can you forgive me as an old man?"
"We understand you, you can rest assured, we will take good care of you. Wang Ming hurriedly said.
"Yes, Dad, you live here, and we'll take care of everything. You can retire with peace of mind. Liu Mei also said.
I nodded, and most of the unhappiness in my heart dissipated. After all, children are my own flesh and blood, and I should not be angry.
That night, Wang Ming and Liu Mei specially prepared a sumptuous dinner and bought me my favorite braised fish. I watched them be filial
That night, Wang Ming and Liu Mei specially prepared a sumptuous dinner and bought me my favorite braised fish. I looked at their filial appearance, and my heart warmed.
"Dad, try this braised fish, I bought it from your favorite shop. Wang Ming scooped up a piece of fish meat and put it in my bowl.
"Okay, my favorite is their braised fish. "I happily tasted it, and it was still delicious.
"Dad, I specially learned a few dishes from my hometown yesterday, all of which are made according to my mother's taste, can you taste it or not. "Liu Mei also took a few hometown dishes to me.
I tasted it, nodded and said, "Well done, close to your mother's craft." ”
After dinner, they also prepared fruit and red bean soup. I ate to my heart's content, and praised them for their filial piety.
"Dad, you eat less, I'll wipe your back. "After dinner, Liu Mei brought a hot towel to wipe my back.
"Good boy, thank you for your hard work. I said with emotion.
"Yes, Dad, that's what we should do. You have worked hard all your life to raise us, and now it is time for us to be filial to you. Wang Ming said on the side.
My heart is warm, raising children to prevent old age is really the greatest comfort in life.
"Dad!" Old man!" When the two sons and daughters heard the commotion, they hurriedly ran over to help me.
I was aching in my lower back and arms, and I had trouble walking. The two of them quickly helped me to the couch and lay me down, and then nervously discussed taking me to the hospital.
"Let's take it to the hospital, in case there is a problem with the bones, it will not be good. Wang Ming said.
"I'll call an ambulance first. Liu Mei said and went to call.
I was still very touched when I watched them scrambled.
Soon after, an ambulance came and took me to the hospital. The doctor gave me various examinations and said that I needed a minor operation, which would cost about 10,000 yuan.
I saw that my sons and daughters had ugly faces, and I knew that they were worried about the cost of medicine. I said to the doctor, "Doctor, I won't have surgery anymore, you can prescribe me some painkillers, and I will go home to retire." ”
"Dad, what are you talking about, you must have surgery!" Wang Ming hurriedly said.
"Old man, you have surgery in the hospital, we will figure out the cost!" Liu Mei also persuaded me.
I shook my head,
I shook my head, my mind settled. The doctor couldn't persuade me, so I had to prescribe painkillers and prepare to be discharged from the hospital.
"Dad, please, we must have surgery, we will find a way to raise money!" Wang Ming knelt in front of my bed, tears streaming down his face.
"Old man, we are your sons and daughters, how can we watch you not have surgery! We can sell the house at any cost!" Liu Mei also knelt down and begged me.
Watching the two of them fall to their knees and cry bitterly, my heart softened. They are my flesh and blood after all, and I can't look at them and be embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll have surgery in the hospital. I sighed and agreed to have surgery.
"Great, Dad, you're going to have a successful operation!" Wang Ming said excitedly.
Liu Mei also nodded with red eyes, held my hand and said, "Dad, you must take care of your body, you know? We will find a way to raise money, don't worry." ”
I nodded, moved but also a little remorseful. I shouldn't have refused treatment because of the cost of the surgery, it's not responsible to them.
One day after dinner, I stopped my two sons and daughters, who were about to wash the dishes, and motioned for them to sit down.
Both of them had red eyes and tears welling up in their eyes when they heard this.
"Dad, we really know that we are wrong! Wang Ming hugged me and cried bitterly.
Liu Mei also wiped her tears and said: "Old man, we didn't think it through at the time, and we said something that hurt your heart, you must forgive us!"
I nodded, clapped their hands and said, "I don't blame you, I understand your difficulties." I just want you to know that no matter what, I will support you and trust you. You are my flesh and blood, and I will love you forever. ”
"Thank you Dad!" Thank you, old man!" They wept silently.
I was moved to tears, too. Children are the most precious treasure in my life, and I will protect our home with my love.
After that day, my children became more filial and caring for me.
Every morning, Liu Mei would make me some nourishing soup and a nutritious breakfast.
"Dad, you drink this red date yam porridge first, the yam nourishes the kidneys and strengthens the bones, which is very good for your body. Liu Mei put the steaming porridge in front of me.
"Good boy, I know that Daddy needs to make up now. "I smiled and drank a few sips, the porridge was very sweet and fragrant.
After breakfast, Wang Ming came to me and asked, "Dad, where do you want to go today?" I took a day off to go out with you. ”
"Let's go to the park, soak up the sun, and see the people. I said.
"Okay, then I'll go get ready, and I'll be able to leave soon. Wang Ming happily went to prepare.
So we went to the park together. Wang Ming pushed me to take a slow walk in the park, chatting and watching the scenery. I'm in a good mood and enjoying this rare time between father and son.
At noon, we found a restaurant and ordered a few of my favorite hometown dishes.
"Dad, you can order, I'll have a treat today, you can eat anything. Wang Ming said with a smile.
"Then have two servings of fish-flavored shredded pork, and then order a pot of meat. I said happily.
"No problem!" Wang Ming immediately said to the waiter.
After lunch, he took me to the cinema to watch a movie, just to keep me entertained. I looked at his filial appearance, and my heart was very moved.
When she returned home in the evening, Liu Mei also prepared a sumptuous dinner early.
"Dad, sit down, today's dinner can be rich, braised pork ribs, crispy duck, and your favorite button three silks, try it." Liu Mei greeted me with a smile.
I ate happily, I really didn't expect to be treated like this in my old age.
After dinner, Liu Mei also made me hot spring eggs and red bean soup.
"Dad, you drink the hot spring eggs and red bean soup first, these are all tonics, which are good for bones. ”
I nodded movingly, and drank all the hot spring eggs and sweet red bean soup.
Today, I have a very nourishing life. I thank God for giving me such a child, and I have no regrets for the rest of my life.
