After his aunt died last year, his uncle's three sons, not worried that he was living alone in the countryside and villages, took him to the city to enjoy happiness. When I was sick a few days ago, my dad went to see him, and when he saw his own brother, he cried like a savior!
The uncle's three sons are all promising, the eldest brother was a soldier, and later transferred to a local institution, and is now retired, the second brother is in business, but it is harder than the other two brothers, and he is the richest among the three brothers, and the third brother was admitted to university at that time and worked in Changsha. In order to be able to support the elderly in the future, the three brothers bought a suite on the same floor in a one-ladder three-house real estate in the county, and the three families were door-to-door with each other. The uncle now lives in the third brother's vacant new house, which is high-end and complete, and the third brother is jointly responsible for the water, gas and electricity costs. The eldest brother and the second brother are each responsible for a month, taking turns to deliver meals to the uncle.
My uncle told my father that he was now like a prisoner, imprisoned in this area of more than 100 square meters. He can't go out, it's inconvenient to go down the stairs with a cane, although there is an elevator, but he won't be proficient in using the elevator, and the same floor is his son's three families, and there is no outsider to help him. Even if you go downstairs, it's unsafe to be busy outside, and there is no acquaintance to talk to.
Often standing alone in front of the window in a daze, overlooking the distant peaks, that is the direction of his hometown in the countryside, thinking that his aunt was there, taking care of his three meals a day, he walked forward with crutches, went to the east to visit the door, went to the west to chat, the parents in the short unconsciously passed more than half a day, every month to go to my father's house two or three times, the two brothers drank a little wine, Lala homely, chatted about their children and grandchildren, when they were young, the two brothers often fought for trivial things, and they were particularly close when they were old.
The uncle said that as long as he could take care of himself, he would not want to eat such a prison meal if he was killed. When he first came to the city, he went to his son's house to eat together. Later, when he had a cold and cough, he was afraid of infecting young people, especially the children of his great-grandchildren, and even more afraid of being disliked, so he offered to eat at home alone, and they brought the food over. He was only called at a big dinner, but he was also given fixed cutlery, and he knew in his heart that he was still "isolated" by young people.
Uncle told that the food delivered every day is a big bowl, whether you like it or not, whether you have an appetite to eat or not, there is no choice for your own preferences. If you eat at the same table, you can eat more if you like it, and you can eat less or not at all if you don't like it, and now you like to eat less in the big bowl of food, and there are more people you don't like to eat, and you can't eat it, and it's a pity to throw it out, and it can be used to feed chickens and ducks in the countryside, and now you can only do garbage, which is really a waste of food.
At night, his son came to sleep with him in the house, and was thinking that someone would talk to him, but his son either picked up **, or played with his mobile phone, I don't know what he was doing, and he didn't dare to ask or disturb, for fear of affecting his son's business, he finally caught his son raise his head, his eyes left the mobile phone, he asked some young people or other things, and his son rejected him with a word: take care of yourself, you don't care about young people's affairs, you don't care, you can't care. One sentence choked him half to death, thinking that he was the secretary of the brigade back then, and he had been calling for wind and rain in the entire brigade for 20 years. Uncle sighed that people are really useless when they are old!
For parents to care for the elderly, not only to provide good hard conditions, so that the elderly live well and eat well, the most important thing is to have more care and companionship, talk more with the elderly, if possible, take them out for a walk, so that they can feel the warmth and happiness of home. Life is the winter check-in season
