On November 6, Lin Feng, a special police officer in Hangzhou, received the last gift he had given him from Grandma Zhu for a long time, the dictionary that the old man had used before he died.
MoZi held the yellowed dictionary in his hand, and the seven-foot special police man instantly burst into tears.
Grandma Zhu, I am a serious person
In the spring of 2013, during the Hangzhou SWAT detachment's activity to help the elderly in the community, Zhang Linfeng and his colleagues met Grandma Zhu Lianghu, an 88-year-old veteran journalist.
Years later, Zhang Linfeng still remembers the afternoon when he first walked into the small building by the Hua family's pool, all the people who came to visit were gone, and he was the only one left.
Grandma Zhu, who lived alone, said to him, "You can go too, thank you for coming to see me." ”
"Grandma Zhu, I'm a serious person." Zhang Linfeng said, "Let me see, do you have any light bulbs in your house that need to be replaced?" ”
The next day, Zhang Linfeng came again, with the master plumber of the SWAT detachment, changed the light bulbs, and also changed some aging lines. In fact, he had already noticed that Grandma Zhu had a very clear idea, but her legs and feet were inconvenient, her vision was blurred, and she was a person in need of help.
"Grandma Zhu, everyone calls me Big Black, and you also call me Big Black."
"Okay, Zhang Gong'an."
The story is a bit like the Hangzhou version of "Meet Tuesday".
The SWAT lads said they would visit Grandma Zhu every week, but Zhang Linfeng was more diligent. At that time, their SWAT brigade was stationed in Jingfang, and almost every afternoon they would borrow the sports field of Zhejiang University Agricultural College (Huajiachi Campus) for training. It often happens that after training, a steaming, tall, burly black-skinned boy walks into the quiet little building.
"Grandma! I'm here, and I bring you today's China Daily. ”
Zhang Linfeng's English is very good, and he read to Grandma Zhu the English version of China Daily.
Grandma Zhu is a highly talented student who graduated from the journalism department of Yenching University, worked in Xinhua News Agency, and is proficient in The three Chinese of English, Japanese and Russian.
The daughter has lived abroad for a long time, her wife has died, and Grandma Zhu lives alone.
Whenever Zhang Linfeng and her colleagues went to visit, Grandma Zhu was very happy, and the boys were not only her eyes, but also her legs and feet.
"I'm glad you guys are here, I'd love to know what's going on out there." When Grandma Zhu said this, the hearts of the SWAT lads were a little sour.
Okay, "Chapter Police"
Gradually matured, Grandma Zhu also dared to trouble the SWAT boys.
"Zhang Gong'an, is it okay to help with an ointment when you come?" My skin is itchy these days. ”
"Okay, Grandma Zhu!"
"Zhang Gong'an, can you help me buy a few bananas?"
"Zhang Gong'an, I want to go to the hospital for a review, can you take me there?"
"Okay, Grandma! Call me Big Black. ”
"Okay, Zhang Gong'an."
In Zhang Linfeng's patrol area, everyone affectionately called him "Big Black", but Grandma Zhu always insisted on calling him "Zhang Gong'an".
The old man always felt that the uniformed "Zhang Gong'an" represented the government's recognition and the government's concern. Of course, in her heart, she already felt that Dahei and his colleagues were like her own children.
From "Grandma Zhu" to "Grandma", the change in title has also made Zhang Linfeng regard the old man as a relative for a long time.
People say that "raising a small child is fresh every day, and the pension is tired every day", why does Zhang Linfeng go to Grandma Zhu's house the most times?
Zhang Linfeng said that Grandma Zhu could talk to me from Mencius to George Bernard Shaw, how could she be bored?
The picture of the years is like this - the afternoon sun shines into the quiet and tidy bucket room, a sunshine special police officer reading English newspapers for a white-haired grandmother, a thick male voice, a kind female voice, the beauty of various languages and the infiltration of multinational cultures.
Let you suffer
After all, Grandma Zhu is already almost 90 years old.
The old man's biggest fear of accidents is wrestling.
One day at the end of 2015, Grandma Zhu fell. She couldn't get up after falling down for more than two hours, so she had to call Zhang Linfeng.
In the winter month, after the heavy snow festival, the sky was very early, it was very cold, and it was still raining, Zhang Linfeng immediately threw away the work in his hand and drove away.
Knocking on the door, Zhang Linfeng found Grandma Zhu slumped on the ground, her face full of pain.
Not only was it sick, but it was also incontinence, staining clothes and the ground.
When the big gangster Grandma Zhu wiped herself, the old man kept saying, "I'm so sorry for you, let you a young man come to serve me, the old immortal... It's really a sin for you. ”
Big Black just smiled slightly and continued to be busy.
He said in his heart: It's all this time, what else is taboo?
Follow-up to the hospital to investigate: Grandma Zhu fell into a femur crushing fracture.
Grandma Zhu already had an inconvenient leg and foot, and this fall was in the hospital for a long time.
Not long after being hospitalized, the whole of Hangzhou was busy with the upcoming G20 Hangzhou Summit.
Grandma Zhu specially entrusted someone to give Zhang Linfeng a message: "I already know from the newspaper that there will be a conference in Hangzhou this year, and you policemen must be very busy, come to see me again when you are busy, and wish you good health." ”
The summit ended smoothly, and Zhang Linfeng brought mooncakes and fruits to the hospital.
As soon as Grandma Zhu saw Zhang Linfeng coming, she was overjoyed and immediately introduced herself to the patients in the adjacent bed, "This is my best and youngest friend in Hangzhou!" ”
Zhang Linfeng still smiled thickly.
Grandma Zhu said to Zhang Linfeng again, "You always help me like this, I have to give you some reward, right?" ”
The old man took tens of thousands of yuan to give the fortress to Zhang Linfeng. The young man immediately craned his neck: "My father has money, digs coal, and has mines at home, which is not rare!" ”
Zhang Linfeng pulled a serious book, making the old man laugh, "This child! Sling the bull. ”
The favored people will be unscrupulous, the elderly will sometimes be like children, Grandma Zhu will be with Zhang Linfeng: "complaints" long-term trapped in bed of various inconveniences, such as not eating the fruit you want to eat, but also complaining about the toss of patients.
Zhang Linfeng still smiled thickly, and when he was forced to be anxious, he said, "You are all elders, you must get along harmoniously." ”
He was leaving, and Grandma Zhu was particularly reluctant to leave, "Zhang Gong'an, if you come a few more times, I will definitely be able to live for a few more days." ”
The last gift
This unforgettable friendship between Dahei and Grandma Zhu has walked through spring and summer, and through autumn and winter.
Because of the job transfer, the men of the SWAT team came and went to visit Grandma Zhu, and there were often changes, but Zhang Linfeng was always there.
"There is a big black, we are assured." The leader of the SWAT team also said, "Hey, don't forget to bring some lotus powder this time, on behalf of everyone to greet." ”
Every Chinese New Year's Eve, the SWAT lads have to be on duty at night, and they are bound to accompany Grandma Zhu during the day, afraid that she will be lonely.
In 2019, Zhang Linfeng, who is good at calligraphy, was admitted to the China Academy of Fine Arts and began to study for a master's degree, and Grandma Zhu was very happy.
In 2019, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Grandma Zhu also received a medal of honor, and Zhang Linfeng and his colleagues were also proud.
This year, because of the epidemic, Zhang Linfeng and Grandma Zhu can only call more often.
The old man's health is getting worse and worse, and his mood is depressed. Zhang Linfeng reminded her: "You have to get well, so I will take you to the West Lake to bask in the sun, and take you to the Nanshan Cemetery to see the old man." ”
He knew that these were Grandma Zhu's two biggest wishes, and they were also the things she couldn't let go of.
Zhang Linfeng once took his son to see Grandma Zhu, and the children softly called out "Ah Tai", and Grandma Zhu was happy.
However, before the flowers bloomed in May, Grandma Zhu passed away.
When the news came, "Zhang Gong'an" and his colleagues were very uncomfortable.
Another young man in the SWAT team, Zhang Junjie, made a memorial video for Grandma Zhu, and the soundtrack used the slow movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
Everyone thinks so: Grandma Zhu has experienced happiness and suffering, and finally met her husband.
Unexpectedly, the story is not over.
Just yesterday (November 6), Zhang Linfeng received the last gift from Grandma Zhu.
Grandma Zhu's daughter, who is also a well-known scholar, when sorting out her mother's relics, wrapped up more than ten foreign language dictionaries and gave them to Zhang Linfeng according to her mother's instructions before her death.
The smallest of these, the English dictionary, had yellowed, rolled pages, and was placed in a separate envelope with the words: The English dictionary that My Mother used.
While flipping through the dictionary, Zhang Linfeng and Zhang Junjie made a new discovery: a volunteer contact form.
Above, the dense names and phone numbers are all children who have come to accompany Grandma Zhu.
Zhang Junjie called one of ms. Shao Yafang. On the other end of the phone, Shao Yafang thought for a while before remembering this matter.
Yes, in those years, some agricultural students at Zhejiang University used to accompany and take care of Grandma Zhu. "We once built a QQ group for this, and after we moved to the Zijingang campus, the medical students picked up again..."
It turns out that love has been passed on, and perhaps this old reporter and young people's unforgettable stories, we can still walk into the years, pick up flowers and nights, and then write longer.
