The second aunt is really old, her back is hunched like a hill, and the wrinkles on her face depict the traces of time. Every time I went to see her, she always sat on the old rattan chair, her eyes half-squinted, as if recalling the bits and pieces of the past. That day, the sun was shining, and I walked into my second aunt's courtyard with fruits. The old locust tree in the yard is still lush, and the stone tables and benches under the tree are still quietly waiting for the polishing of the years. The second aunt sat there, and the rattan chair made a "squeak" sound, accompanied by her faint breathing. "Second aunt, I'm here. I whispered.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw me, with a smile on her face: "It's Xiaoqiang, sit down." After I sat down, she took my hand and started talking about the past. Her memory seems to be not as good as before, and she always skips to another topic while talking, but I can feel her love for life and nostalgia for the past. She talked about her youth, the happy times working in the fields with her friends, and the sweet memories of meeting and falling in love with her uncle. Speaking of her uncle, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Your uncle left early, leaving me alone in this world." I comforted her: "Second aunt, you and our juniors, we will accompany you." ”
She shook her head gently: "It's different, you're all busy, and I'm also old and have become a burden to you." "That's not the case, second aunt. We'd all love to come and see you and hear what you have to say. I say sincerely. She sighed: "I know you are filial, but my body is getting worse day by day." A pension of 7,300 a month is enough for me, but I just feel that I have lived enough. "I felt so sad that I didn't know how to comfort her. Perhaps for her, the length of life is no longer what she is pursuing, and she cares more about the quality and meaning of life.
At this time, the neighbor Aunt Zhang walked in: "Second aunt, are you chatting with Xiaoqiang again?" Look at you, full of children and grandchildren, how happy! The second aunt smiled: "Yes, I am happy." But when people get old, they always have some ideas. Aunt Zhang sat down and joined us in the conversation. She started talking about some of the new things in the community and the senior events she had recently attended. Her tone was full of energy and enthusiasm, as if life was still full of possibilities for her. I looked at the second aunt, and her eyes seemed to be infected by Aunt Zhang's words and became a little brighter. Perhaps for her, what she needs is not only our companionship and care, but also her enthusiasm and expectation for life.
So I started talking to my second aunt about my recent life and work, as well as some of my plans and dreams. I told her I wanted to learn new skills, travel, try something new. She listened attentively and nodded from time to time. "Second aunt, what do you think? Why don't we go on a trip together? I asked tentatively. She was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You little ghost, you always have so many ideas. But travel is still forgotten, my old bones can't stand the toss. "Then we can go for a walk in the park or participate in some senior activities so that you can meet more friends." I continued to suggest.
She thought for a moment, then nodded, "Well, that's a good idea. Then I'll give it a try. "From that day on, I started to accompany my second aunt to the park for a walk or participate in some community activities every week. Although her pace is not as steady as it used to be, I can feel that her zest for life is slowly being ignited. A smile began to appear on her face, and she began to talk more. And I've learned a lot from these experiences. I began to cherish the time I spent with my second aunt more, and I also began to pay more attention to the living conditions and spiritual needs of the elderly. I learned that life is not just about length, but more importantly about how to make every day meaningful and fulfilling. Although my second aunt is old, she is still my treasure. Her experiences and stories have given me a lot of inspiration and strength. I hope that she can live a healthy and happy life all the time, and I also hope that each of us can cherish the elderly around us and their wisdom and experience.
On a sunny afternoon, my second aunt and I sat under the old locust tree and chatted. She suddenly said: "Xiaoqiang, in fact, I think life is quite beautiful now." Although I am 91 years old, I feel something new and a new joy every day. Thank you! I held her hand tightly: "Second aunt, don't thank me. It was you who taught me how to live more fully and meaningfully. "At that moment I understood what true happiness and fulfillment were. It's not about how much wealth and status you have, but about being able to cherish every moment, feel the beauty and warmth of life with your heart, and share this joy and touch with your loved ones. "The second aunt is old, but her life has not become bleak because of it. Instead, she tells us in her own way what true courage and strength are. I believe that her story will inspire more people to cherish their lives, pursue their dreams, and bravely face all challenges and difficulties. I thought silently in my heart.
