There is a village in the middle of the mountains deep in Shu Mountain.
There is a pond next to a rural cement road. There is a mountain bay not far above the pond.
There is a thick willow tree next to Shanwan Village Road. It's as thick as two people encircling each other. Growing with luxuriant branches and leaves. I don’t know how many years it has been. There are two old-fashioned red brick houses next to the big tree.
Why should an old man who has just passed sixty live in this house?
There is a simple table under this big willow tree . Because it's on the roadside. Therefore, there are often a few old or middle-aged people here playing cards or chess, and occasionally there are people playing mahjong here.
Over time, this place has become an elderly activity center in Hetian Village in the mountains.
And the core character in the center is of course why he must be an old man.
Old man He had an only daughter, so he hired a son-in-law.
The son-in-law who came to the house was from another province, tall and powerful, while his daughter Xiufen was petite and delicate, but she was handsome and had smooth skin, so the man felt sorry for her. They met while working outside.
However, since his daughter Xiufen gave birth to a daughter, the man started working as a carpenter at a construction site outside. I heard that the income was good. After drinking, the man boasted that he could earn more than a thousand yuan a day. Hearing that he was making so much money, Old Man He settled the accounts for him, and then said, "According to what you said, you will make a lot of money in a year, right?" Then go to the city and buy a house!
When his son-in-law heard this, he laughed and said, "What's so good about a house in the city? Our house in the mountains is better and more comfortable to live in."
Old man He knew that his son-in-law was bragging. You said you could get more in a day by chance? Even if you make a little money, you, a worker, make so much money every day. Where can your boss make money?
And Old Man He had a problem with his son-in-law. He liked to drink, and he also liked to curse and hit others after drinking. Several times, he was awakened by his daughter's cry in the middle of the night. When he got up, he saw that it was his son-in-law who was beating his daughter. He suddenly became furious and picked up the hoe to fight with him.
Fortunately, people from the village came and separated them.
After that, Old Man He became more and more angry because he had such a delicate daughter, and his wife died of illness in her thirties. After that, he raised his daughter by himself. He didn't want to find a son-in-law and bullied her every day. And he knew that after the son-in-law drank, he would torture his daughter in every possible way on the bed, and even beat her if he was slightly dissatisfied.
Now, seeing that this son-in-law likes to brag and is not practical in what he says or does, Old Man He is even more angry. After that, the son-in-law went out to work again, so Old He discussed with his daughter to divorce her son-in-law.
Daughter Xiufen was afraid at first because she was afraid that the man would take revenge on their family. But later, after the persuasion of several of her uncles, she agreed because she was also afraid that this man would torture her to death one day.
Sure enough, when the man Liu Chao heard that Xiufen wanted to divorce him, he went home and threatened them, saying that if he wanted to divorce, he would kill their whole family.
The family was well prepared and took video and audio recordings of him. The police were then called.
I heard that the police are taking this very seriously. Because there used to be a son-in-law from other provinces in the village next door because his wife wanted to divorce him. He chased her home and brutally murdered the woman's family of three.
The police immediately gave Liu Chao a stern warning and asked him to quickly go through the divorce procedures with Xiufen. He will not be allowed to harass Xiufen's family again.
Liu Chao felt a little regretful at this time. He knelt on the ground and begged Xiufen and Old He for forgiveness, saying that he did not want a divorce and that he loved Xiufen.
But Xiufen and He Laohan were unmoved and insisted on divorce.
Helpless, Liu Chao had no choice but to leave by himself. The daughter was also left to Xiufen.
After that, Xiufen stayed at home for less than a month, then left her two-year-old daughter at home and went out to work again.
Half a year later, Xiufen fell in love with a man again. This son-in-law, Old Man He, was quite satisfied. He had a good temperament, knew how to care for others, and had a good income. However, the man was unwilling to be a door-to-door son-in-law, so Old Man He had to watch Xiufen take care of the children. Went away with the man.
The man is from Jiangxi, so his daughter rarely comes back.
Old man He has actually become a lonely old man.
Fortunately, this old man is optimistic by nature, and his words are humorous and interesting. Therefore, there are still a group of old people gathering with him. They often play cards and chat under the big willow tree. Sometimes, he will also invite everyone to eat.
Time passed day by day, and the leaves on the big willow tree turned green and yellow. In the blink of an eye, a few years passed, and the old man He felt even more lonely and lonely. So he decided to find a wife. Because he likes to introduce people to others, his place has almost become an information station.
In the end, he finally found a woman whose husband was dead. About the same age as him.
The two met and had a great conversation. The old woman thought that Old Man He was pretty good, so she agreed to date him. Besides, Old Man He was alone and had no burden. The old woman's children don't object, because the old woman's husband also died young. In recent years, the children have grown up and started families. They also understand that it is not easy for their mother, and they also want a wife to accompany her.
Because they are both elderly, they don’t have so many rules, so the old woman lives directly at Old Man He’s house.
At the beginning, the two of them really felt like newlyweds.
The old woman’s name is Qiu Hong. She must have had some beauty when she was young. Because now I am sixty years old and I still maintain it well.
Qiu Hong didn't expect that at his age, Old Man He could be pretty good at that, and he was very energetic. Sometimes, he could score twice in a night.
At first, Qiuhong was quite happy. After living alone for so many years, she could finally live as a couple again.
But as time went by, she couldn't be happy anymore. Because no matter how old she is, her interest is not very high.
But Old Man He is very excited. Sometimes, if Qiu Hong doesn't cooperate, Old Man He becomes even unhappy.
What makes Qiu Hong even more unacceptable is that Old Man He always likes to invite old people who live alone in the same village to play cards. Sometimes I even let myself cook for them.
And many of these old people have lost their wives, and when they see her, they also have evil thoughts. Always want to take advantage of others. As time went by, Qiuhong became extremely annoying.
One day, when Old Man He was not at home, Old Man Zhao from the same village saw that she was alone at home, so he came into the house and teased her while trying to touch her. She was frightened, but she didn't dare to speak out, because if word spread about her age, it would only make people laugh.
Fortunately, Old Man He returned home in time to avoid what happened next.
This time, Qiu Hong was so frightened that she told Old Man He that day that she wanted to go home to see her children and grandchildren.
Old man He didn't have anything to say, so he left it to her.
However, Qiuhong never came back from then on. She called Old Man He and said that she would not come again and that the matter between the two of them was settled.
Old man He is so angry! He scolded the old people from the same village. He said, "I finally found a wife, and you are messing with me like this. Don't come to me again."
After that, the big willow tree in front of Old Man He's house was deserted for a long time, but in the end he slowly Someone is coming. After
, it returned to its original state. No matter it is old man He or those lonely old people in the village, they still can't bear loneliness and loneliness!
Old man He is no longer looking for a wife. In fact, it is not easy to find one. Maybe, they will live alone like this until one day, the end of life comes quietly!
