Everyone likes the warm sun in winter, especially the elderly in nursing homes. When the weather is good and the sun is good, they all walk out of the house and come to the yard to bask in the sun. It is said that they can supplement calcium. More importantly, they listen to Teacher Lu’s stories to relieve loneliness. After all, people are group animals. The characteristic is that the elderly are more afraid of loneliness and fear that they will die suddenly. Among this group of people, Lao Chen in a wheelchair and Lao Chen’s wife who was pushing him were always indispensable.
Lao Chen and his wife have lived in nursing homes for five or six years. Lao Chen has been in good health since childhood. He doesn’t know how tired he works or doesn’t know how to study. He has been working on the construction site after graduating from junior high school. Because he is not stingy with his strength, the foreman likes him very much, so he has worked on the construction site all his life. Old Chen’s wife and he were neighbors back then, and they were also childhood sweethearts. Later, the old people matched them up, and they got married and had daughters. When their daughter grew up, they married to the neighboring village and often came back to see their parents. Their lives were harmonious and beautiful. It’s just that there are unexpected situations in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune at any time.
One day, Lao Chen repaired his house, accidentally fell down, injured his spine, and never stood up again. He lie down for more than ten years. Lao Chen's wife took care of him without regrets, sucked her body and fed her. For so long, Lao Chen had no bedsores and no strange smell. People praised Lao Chen's wife for taking good care of Lao Chen, and Lao Chen's wife always had a calm smile on her face.
As they are old, Lao Chen's health is getting worse and worse, and Lao Chen's wife is not as good as before. She is becoming more and more unable to take care of Lao Chen. She had no choice but to think of the nursing home and live in it. She really takes this place as the home because the nurses take good care of them, and there are so many elderly people who can chat and relieve boredom. Lao Chen's wife said we won't leave. During the holidays, their daughter will take her back to stay for a few days to enjoy the joy of family.
Once I chatted with the old couple and said that everyone in the yard envied them. Old Chen’s wife said that when she saw him there, whether she was lying or sitting, I felt at ease. I was so worried that one day he would leave, what should I do? Or what should he do if I leave? But the old couple went to , the King of Hell, and they didn't dare to think about it.
According to my observation, most of the old couples died and the other one came to the nursing home. There were very few real couples living together, and Old Chen and his wife were exceptions. There will definitely be more people in the future because they are all only children and are unable to take care of the elderly. Whether passive or proactive, more people will choose nursing homes. I heard from our female dean that there is a plan to expand the nursing home, just to the east of this yard, the area is larger than this. This is a good thing, so I hope it will be implemented as soon as possible. Nursing homes are sunset industries and sunrise industries, or more precisely, they should be public welfare undertakings. I hope more young people will devote themselves to the elderly care industry, and I hope more people will take this as a career, put making money in a secondary position, and shoulder more social responsibilities!
