The old man was a farmer, his partner left early, and his two daughters married into the city, and he has been living alone for more than 10 years. The old Chentou usually love to plant some crops, and in his spare time he accompanied his neighbors to play mahjong. Not long ago, the old Chentou was the eldest daughter to pick up the city to enjoy the blessings, did not expect less than a week's time, the old Chentou slipped back to his hometown. Neighbors joked that Lao Chentou is a life of suffering, and raised two filial daughters for nothing.
The following is a first-person account of Lao Chentou's experience.
I am 70 years old this year, not long ago two daughters with a few grandchildren held a grand birthday party for me. I was very pleased to see my two daughters living happily in the city. But a few days ago, my eldest daughter insisted on taking me to the city to live for a while, saying that she would let me enjoy the happiness. I'd like to go to the city to have a look around, but I didn't realize that I was going to have to go to the city to have a look around," he said.
The eldest daughter and her son-in-law are usually very busy at work, and they make a good meal for me early in the morning every day, and also set aside a portion for the middle of the day. I'm too clumsy to use a gas stove in the city, and I can't even cook a meal. For the first two days I was worried about getting lost, so I stayed home and watched TV. When I was tired, I would just stare out the window, and my mood was very depressing. In the evening, my grandson came home and chatted with me for a while, but I am old and my ears are a bit backward, so it was difficult to communicate with the child. The grandson only talked to me for two days and then ignored me, and told his daughter with a smile that grandpa often answered questions, making the child very depressed.
On the third day, the grandson had a weekend off, and he took me, an old man, for a walk in the park to familiarize himself with the roads. The next day I was suffocating myself at home, I ran to the park to skate, the park is a lot of old people, are in groups of three or five, some teasing the birds, some dancing, I stupidly stood on the side looking at others. Waiting for the time to go home even lost, walked for a while can not find back to the street, fortunately, the eldest daughter before in my pocket put a written home address of the note, I can not read, in the help of the good people only to find the door.
After arriving home, I told my eldest daughter that I would not stay here, and that I was ready to pack up and go back home. I'm not used to living in the city, not only do I have no one to talk to, but it's a problem to go out and walk around, so it's better to be at home.
When I realized that I was going back, my son-in-laws persuaded me to stay a little longer, and they promised to take me out on weekends. I'm not sure if I want to go back, but I'm not used to living here, and I don't want to give my kids a hard time. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it," he said, "I'm not going to be able to do it," he said.
When my son-in-law drove me to my hometown, two neighbors saw me come back so soon and made fun of me, saying that the old Chentou was a life of suffering, and that he had given birth to such a filial daughter for nothing. Before my son-in-law left, he gave me 8,000 yuan, so that I usually buy more good food, do not spend. I'm a bad old man, how can I use so much money, in the end only left 1,000 yuan, usually play mahjong with.
After arriving home, my mood was brightened up, and I was able to play mahjong with my oldest brothers in my free time, nagging them about their families, and I was able to enjoy myself without any inhibitions.
It's a good thing that I'm not a big fan of this, because I'm a big fan of the way we do things, and I'm a big fan of the way we do things. Although we are old, but the body is still strong, take advantage of the current life can take care of themselves, in the old family planting vegetables, watching the theater, the days of life than the city people are even happier.
I escaped home not half a month, the youngest daughter came to take me to her place to enjoy the blessings of the dead, I did not agree, said this time there is a change, and no longer go to ask for trouble. The youngest daughter to see me this old boy so stubborn, did not force, secretly to my shoes stuffed 2000 dollars back to the city. I kind of figured out that the gold nest is not as good as our dog's nest, and living anywhere is not as comfortable as staying in our hometown. I don't know if I'm doing this in vain, but the two daughters have a piece of filial piety.
