RuralThe elderly often sit at the gate, watching the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, and everything is so quiet. We often think that they do it because they are lonely and bored, but in reality this is not entirely the case.
That night, I passed by the door of an old man's house and saw him sitting there alone, and I suddenly felt very sad. So, I stoppedMotorcycles, walked up to him, and talked to him. The old man, a relative of mine, told me that he sat at the door because he felt stuffy in the house, and that he felt more comfortable sitting at the door and seeing the cars coming and going.
I told him, it's so late, what's coming? It's better to go back to the house early and get a good night's sleep. The old man told me that he felt uncomfortable when he couldn't sleep, and that it was better to get up and look at people. He said that since his son went to Xinjiang to contract land, he has only come back once a year, and sometimes the weather is bad or even does not come back for the New Year, and he is alone at home for the New Year. This makes me feel very sad, the old man wants to be accompanied, but he can only spend his years alone.
I talked a lot with the old man, and he told me how hard he worked when he was young, and in order to marry his son's daughter-in-law, he rode a bicycle and carried two sets of sofas to and from Jinan for three days. Although it was not good to earn less money and eat at that time, the family was always happy together. Now, although the economy is improving, the children are flying away, and family reunion has become a luxury.
It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and the old man's daughter-in-law called him and asked him if he was in **. I told her I was talking to him at the old man's house. The old man asked me if I was calling from my daughter-in-law, and I replied yes. Then I reminded the old man to rest early, because it was cold and it was not good to go out and sit at night.
The old man confessed to me that he went out to sit because he was afraid that he would die in the house and no one would know. He said that he was so old that he could sometimes take off his shoes at night**, but not necessarily in the morning. So when he has free time, he will sit at the door so that he can be discovered.
After listening to the old man's words, I really felt sad. I used to think that the old people sat at the door because they were lonely, but in fact they chose to sit at the door because they were afraid of being lonely and afraid of dying. With the advancement of urbanization, young people are going to work in other places, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled, facing the difficulties of life, and unable to get the company and care of their children. The elderly are not asking for a luxurious life, they just hope that they will not spend their old age alone, and that they will have relatives who can accompany them.
Here, I appeal to the sons and daughters who have gone out to workI often go home to see it, chat more with the elderly at home. They crave communication and companionship with their loved ones, and they need to feel cared for and loved by their loved ones. Although life is not easy, please remember that family is the most precious treasure.
