Uncle Wu, 69 years old this year, he turned out to be a small leader of the unit, and his pension was about 7,000 yuan. His wife passed away four years ago, and he now lives alone in the house distributed by the unit in the early years, and likes to go out to play chess and Tai Chi with friends when he has nothing to do.
It was around 7:50 a.m. that day. Uncle Wu had just finished Tai Chi with Lao Zhang in the park and was about to go home.
On the way, he passed by a breakfast shop, intending to buy soy milk and steamed buns to eat at home, when a car stopped next to him.
The windows rolled down, and a man in his 40s called, "Dad." You haven't had breakfast yet”
Uncle Wu took the soy milk and glanced at him, and he responded, "Just came out of the park." What's the matter with you coming so early?”
The man smiled and said, "I'm coming to see you, I'll drive the car back first and wait for you downstairs." With that, he walked away.
The woman who sold breakfast quipped, "Your son didn't say that he would give you a ride, and you have to walk a little back." ”
Uncle Wu smiled and said, "It's okay." Exercise more and get better. ”
The son brought some bananas and apples, and Uncle Wu saw it and said, "I don't like to eat this, I told you last time that if you want to buy fruit, you should buy some pears." ”
The son touched it and said, "I forgot everything." I'll buy it for you next time. ”
Uncle Wu smoked a cigarette and asked, "What are you doing today?"Don't say it's to come to see me, I don't believe it. ”
The son squatted down and took his hand and said, "Dad." The house I'm living in now is too small, and I'm going to change to a bigger one. It turned out that the house, Dajuan said that she would rent it out. ”
Uncle Wu: "That house has only been bought for more than 10 years, and you want to change it again?"I don't have that much money. ”
The house where his son lives now was bought for him by Uncle Wu and his wife more than 10 years ago, the house is not big, but the son did not spend a penny. The house is not old, and Uncle Wu doesn't want his son to be so bad even if he has money.
Son: "You live in this house now in a good location, and you can sell it for a good price." Won't you give me money if you sell it?”
Uncle Wu was a little angry, but he didn't expect his son to think about his pension house. Uncle Wu said, "What are you kidding?"Where do I live if I sell my house?Besides, I've lived in this house since I got married to your mother, and I'm reluctant to sell it. ”
Son: "I'll rent you another room, you can rent a large single room for more than 700, and the park is downstairs." There are also many old ladies and grandfathers dancing in the square, which is sure to satisfy you. Your house is old, and it will be cheaper to sell it a few years later. ”
Uncle Wu spit out the smoke ring and ignored him. Seeing this, the son continued to pressur: "Your grandchildren have grown up, and they live in a small room, and the two children often fight and quarrel. Alas, I can't help it. ”
This house has been lived in for decades, and Uncle Wu doesn't want to sell it, no matter how difficult it is for his son, he is not willing to sell it. But at the mention of his grandchildren, his heart softened, and his son knew that he loved his grandchildren the most.
Uncle Wu took a puff of cigarette and said, "You go back first, you let me think about it." I'll get back to you in a few days. ”
When the son heard what his father said, he was relieved and felt that the matter had been done. Happy to go.
In fact, Uncle Wu didn't want to sell the house because he was in love with the old, he just didn't want to sell it so easily to subsidize his son.
Uncle Wu and his wife have two children, a boy and a girl. The son is young, and the daughter has already married far away to the north, and only comes back during the New Year's holidays.
Before his son married his daughter-in-law, Uncle Wu and his wife bought him a two-bedroom house, and a few years later, they bought a car for their daughter.
The house is a little smaller, but it is better in the location, close to the city center, downstairs is the subway, and a few years later a Wanda Plaza was built nearby, and the price of that place has risen several times.
The son got married in his 30s, and his daughter-in-law was seven or eight years younger than him. At first, Uncle Wu didn't agree with his son marrying her, because he felt that the little girl was young and ignorant, and he was afraid that the two of them would not have a common language.
I still remember that the daughter-in-law came to their house for the first time, and they all came empty-handed, and they thought about asking their son to decorate their house before they entered the door.
But the son insisted on marrying her into the door, and the two cooked rice and cooked rice, and the woman became pregnant before they got married. Uncle Wu had no choice, his son was always responsible for others, so he agreed to get married, and gave 100,000 yuan as a bride price at that time, and after getting married, he also paid for the decoration of his daughter-in-law's house.
After marriage, the son and daughter-in-law lived in a new house, and Uncle Wu and his wife continued to stay in this old house.
Later, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a 7-pound grandson, and the wife went over to take care of the daughter-in-law and grandson. His wife's pension is not as high as his, but it is more than 5,000, and at that time, in order to take care of his daughter-in-law, his wife spent more than half of his monthly pension on his daughter-in-law.
The food is bought from the best, and of course, the wife also tries her best to serve. In this way, the daughter-in-law is not satisfied, picking fat and thin today, and nitpicking tomorrow.
One morning, the eggs fried by my wife to my daughter-in-law were browned, and my daughter-in-law began to lose her temper, saying that my wife had deliberately fried them. No matter how the wife explained, the daughter-in-law didn't listen.
Once the daughter-in-law's pearl necklace was missing, and it was not said that the wife took it. Later, I cleaned up the room and found the necklace under the sofa, but the daughter-in-law did not apologize to my wife.
The son always helps his daughter-in-law talk without asking right or wrong, and always advises his wife not to care. In the end, my wife couldn't stand it anymore, so she called Uncle Wu to pick her up.
Later, the son wanted to call his wife over, but the wife refused, so he just gave his daughter-in-law 2,000 yuan a month, and took two hens every week to stew soup for his daughter-in-law.
At that time, the son also complained that his wife didn't come to serve, saying that his wife was careful. Only Uncle Wu knows that his wife doesn't want to care, but he doesn't dare to go over, and Uncle Wu doesn't want his wife to be wronged in the past.
When Uncle Wu was 65 years old, his wife suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. At that time, my son came to see a few times occasionally, and my daughter-in-law never showed up once, if it weren't for the eldest daughter who rushed back to take care of her, I'm afraid Uncle Wu would be tired enough.
My wife was hospitalized for half a month and was still dying. Uncle Wu looked at his wife as if he couldn't do it, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law hadn't come yet, he called his daughter-in-law ** at that time.
Uncle Wu dialed his daughter-in-law's **, and it was answered in seconds. Uncle Wu said, "Dajuan, I'm afraid your mother is dying." You're going to have to come and have a look!”
The daughter-in-law said, "Dad, I'm not going, I'm still pregnant, I'm afraid I'll go to the hospital and get sick." Besides, isn't the eldest sister still taking care of it?I used to make a mess too. ”
When Uncle Wu heard his daughter-in-law say this, he jumped to his feet angrily and hung up indignantly. Unexpectedly, this daughter-in-law actually used her pregnancy as an excuse not to come to see her mother-in-law.
Although she is pregnant, the fetal image has long been stable. If you don't want to come, don't come, why make excuses.
When his daughter saw him angry like this, she was afraid that he would also fall, so she comforted him: "Dad, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry." I've always been there, and Chen Hao comes over every day to take care of them. ”
Chen Hao is Uncle Wu's son-in-law, and his daughter and he are very sensible, because they are far away, they can only come back during the New Year's holidays. But every year during the Chinese New Year, the son-in-law will come back with his daughter and the children they gave birth to, and he has not been left behind. The daughter helped take care of it, and he was relieved.
My son came from time to time, and when he came, he also delivered a meal and left. Only when I heard that my mother was dying for this period of time, I came more diligently.
Later, the wife still left, and the daughter-in-law appeared at the funeral of the wife. After his wife left, Uncle Wu was sad for a long time, and he didn't even go to Tai Chi. In the next few years, Uncle Wu lived alone.
In the past few years, his daughter and son-in-law have also told him several times that they want to take him away, saying that they will provide for him and let him go with him. But Uncle Wu thought about it and still refused, after all, his daughter was already married, and she still had her father-in-law and mother-in-law to raise, not to mention adding a bowl and chopsticks in the past, there were a lot of troubles.
It was the north over there, and he heard that it would snow in winter, and the cold wind was biting, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stand this old bone.
Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with his son and daughter-in-law. But he still loves his grandchildren very much, and every time his grandchildren come, he will buy things for the children lavishly, and he doesn't care if those are useful or not, as long as the grandchildren are happy.
That year, the grandson wanted to learn calligraphy, and the registration fee was 6,000 yuan, and the daughter-in-law didn't want to pay the money, and the grandson was very sad.
Uncle Wu didn't say a word and paid for him to register, in his heart, it is good for children to have the idea of learning, and this economic condition can be satisfied, so why not meet the child's wish?
That night, Uncle Wu went to his son's house for dinner, and at the dinner table, his grandson kept serving him vegetables, but he never saw his granddaughter eat at the table.
He asked his grandson: "Dabao, my sister ** went?".Why don't you eat?The grandson pouted and said, "My sister is hiding in the room and has lost her temper." ”
The son was impatient and said, "You know nonsense." Dad, ignore her, you eat yours. I'll give her some food later. ”
Uncle Wu was so angry that he said, "How can you ignore it?"He put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to the room to take his granddaughter out. The granddaughter was crying with red face and red ears, and her nose was red.
Uncle Wu asked them what was going on to make her cry like this. The daughter-in-law said: "She wants to learn ballet, it's too expensive, she has to learn it every winter and summer vacation, ** there is so much spare money to learn for her." to".
When Uncle Wu heard this, he was furious. He said: "You husband and wife, the salary is not low. This is not allowed to learn, that is not allowed to learn, and the child's interest is indelible. If you don't come out, I will come out. ”
When the daughter-in-law and son heard Uncle Wu say this, both of them were a little embarrassed. But when I heard my father say that he wanted to help with the money, I felt very happy.
The grandchildren are also very fond of Uncle Wu. During the holidays, I always wanted to come to my grandfather to play, and every time I came, Uncle Wu would take them out to eat and play games. Sometimes, the two children would secretly hide the food and bring it to him, saying that it was for him.
After his wife leaves, his grandchildren are his greatest spiritual sustenance. So when it comes to grandchildren, Uncle Wu will always be soft-hearted.
Therefore, the son mentioned that he would sell this house and change to a big house to give his grandchildren a spacious home, and he really had this plan.
He touched the yellowed wall, looked at the family portrait on the wall, and thought: Why don't you sell it? I can't live in such a big house by myself, so selling it and changing it to a big house to give my grandchildren a better living environment is conducive to their growth.
Uncle Wu was going to wait for his son to come back next time, so he told him that he had decided to sell it, and he would sell it.
A week later, the son and daughter-in-law returned with their two children. Uncle Wu bought a lot of vegetables in advance and came back, and before the meal, his son and daughter-in-law actively offered to cook.
Uncle Wu took his two children out to play and bought them two snacks.
The two children ate happily. Uncle Wu joked to them: "Grandpa sold the house and moved in with you, okay?"”
The grandson's expression suddenly became very serious and said, "Grandpa, you can't live with us!."”
Uncle Wu looked at the child's expression and asked, "Why?"Don't you want to live with grandpa?”
The granddaughter said, "No, grandpa." Mom and Dad said that the smell of smoke on Grandpa's body would make the house stink. ”
The grandson said: "Dad also said that the money after grandpa dies is his, and he will serve you for a few years with good food and drink." ”
The words of the two children were like five thunderbolts, which made Uncle Wu unbelievable. He asked again suspiciously, "Did Mom and Dad really say that?"”
The children nodded, and the little granddaughter hugged him and said, "Grandpa, we don't want you to die, you have to play with us." ”
At this time, Uncle Wu silently made several decisions. He touched the child's head, but still sighed, but fortunately the child was not taken crookedly.
Had dinner. The son said to Uncle Wu with a spring on his face: "Dad." You've decided everything you said last time, right?Our house has been rented for you, and you can move in tomorrow. ”
Uncle Wu: "So anxious to let me move out?"I decided not to sell the house and live in the rented house by yourself. ”
The son was so angry that he asked, "Why?".Didn't you say it was okay last time?How can I buy a new house if you don't sell?”
Daughter-in-law: "Yes, Dad, why don't you talk and don't count?."We are optimistic about the new house. ”
Uncle Wu looked at the couple's faces and said, "Hmph." I said last time I thought about it, and I didn't promise you. You don't want me to go over to live with you, and I don't blame you, for so many years, how much money has my mother and I spent on you, we have a number in our hearts.
You should also have a number of what you do to us. What the hell did you say in front of your children, you think for yourself. ”
The couple looked at Uncle Wu with a confused expression, not knowing why. The son was a little anxious and said, "Dad." The conscience of heaven and earth, we are going to provide for you in the future, and what you spend on us now, we will all repay in the future. ”
Uncle Wu said, "Raise me?".Not necessarily. I've decided that the first house I'm not selling;Second, I want to use my pension over the years to get your eldest sister a new car, and she is reluctant to buy that old car for so many yearsThird, in the future, all my family property will be divided into half of your eldest sister. ”
The daughter-in-law pulled her son's clothes and muttered, "How can your father be like this."
The son said, "Dad, the eldest sister has already married." What about your grandchildren?It's not fair for you to do that. ”
Uncle Wu: "Don't say it, you don't think the house is small, so you can ask your grandchildren to move in with me, I am spacious here!."If you ask me to sell the house again, I will give all the money from the sale to your eldest sister, and I will move in to support the elderly. Don't even think about taking a penny. ”
The couple heard Uncle Wu say this, two people, you look at me, I look at you, dare to be angry but dare not speak.
After Uncle Wu finished speaking, he walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. Lao Zhang and Lao Zhao, they also asked him to play chess. Anyway, no one wants him to change his mind, he still has to have a little conscience, don't forget to dig wells, leave a little leeway for himself, and have a step down in the future.
