After lunch, Mr. Wu likes to move a stool to the base of the wall to bask in the sun. Someone took a nap after lunch, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity to bask in the sun. This is a habit he has developed for many years, especially in spring and autumn. As long as the weather is good, he will go out of the house to bask in the sun for a while. In winter, he lies on the lounge chair on his balcony to bask in the sun. If the weather is warm, he will still move a stool out.
The days after retirement passed by day by day. It seemed boring, but it was a kind of enjoyment for him.
Uncle Wu retired from a coal mine. He came to the mine at the age of seventeen and worked in the mine for more than 30 years. Before he retired, he liked to bask in the sun. After going to the well, others ran to the bathhouse, but he squatted down under the wall outside the bathhouse, lit a cigarette, and squinted his eyes and basked for a while. It felt more comfortable than drinking two taels of wine after returning home. Yes! People come to this world to see the sunshine. If there is no sunshine, what's the point of giving you gold and silver? This is what the master said, and Mr. Wu will never forget it until his death.
Uncle Wu’s master Lao Qian died underground before he retired. When he thinks of his master, Uncle Wu's heart will feel as uncomfortable as a cat being caught. Sometimes he sits for a long time without talking. Until his wife came to call him and said that the sun was going down, why are you still stunned? He came to his senses and said that he would go home, go home. Now, my wife has left and went to a world without sunshine, and he is still living in this world. Except for cloudy and rainy days, he can see the sun every day. He felt that when a person reaches his old age, the reason why he lives alone is not for enjoyment, but for the sun to be able to see the sun every day and bask in the sun for a while.
Every time, I have enough sunshine. Before I took a stool home, I always have to say, Master, today's sunshine is okay? If you are not enough, we will continue to show it tomorrow.
In front of the building where Mr. Wu lives is an open space, with some flowers, plants and trees planted. Further ahead is a two-story building, and in the distance is a tall building. Uncle Wu lives alone and is free and free. His son mobilized him several times to move to his place, saying that he was old and it was inconvenient to live alone. What if he was sick or delayed?
Uncle Wu disagreed and said that he liked peace and well-being, and that he really couldn't walk one day, it would not be too late to consider going to his son's place. Seeing that he was stubborn, his son had to let him go.
I heard that the open space in front of the building was to be built. I heard that the real estate developer had seen it, and I heard that the city government had issued an approval document to the real estate developer. Mr. Wu was skeptical about what he heard about, but Lao Liu, who told him about this, swears to say that Lao Wu, if you don’t believe it, just wait and see. In less than a year, a building will be built here.
What does it have to do with them building a building? Uncle Wu doesn’t care about current affairs, he only cares about the weather.
Lao Liu said, of course it has something to do with your business, not only your business, but also our interests.
Uncle Wu then said, let’s listen.
Lao Liu said, after the building rises, our residents on the upper floor will not see the sunshine. Think about it, that building has more than 20 floors.
Uncle Wu said, they really want to build such a tall building? Old Liu said, that's fake! Old Wu, we are nothing, you are the one who suffers. In the future, you may not be able to bask in the sun every day like you are now.
Uncle Wu said, I won’t agree!
Lao Liu smiled and said that what you said doesn’t count. Who do you think you are?
That day, Uncle Wu was in a bad mood. After Old Liu left, he looked at the open space and became stunned. When he felt the chill, the sun had already set.
The sun rises as usual, and the sun is still bright and clean. After a while, people feel comfortable to sleep. Looking at the open space in front of you, the flowers and plants are still there, and the trees are still there. Mr. Wu, his mood is still the same as before. A month has passed, and what he sees is the open space in the past. Thinking of what Lao Liu said, Uncle Wu smiled and said to himself, Lao Liu is jealous of me. He doesn’t bask in the sun and doesn’t want me to live in peace.
A few days ago, Old Li's wife came to see Uncle Wu and said she wanted to introduce him to a wife, saying that the woman was only in her forties and looked very young! Uncle Wu stammered for a long time, and finally he said hesitantly, "Let me discuss it with my son." Old Li's wife smiled and said, "I'm only in my forties. If I were in the past, I was still having a child at this age, you have to think about it." Uncle Wu said, don’t worry, don’t worry, let’s talk about it in two days. Old Li’s wife said, “You old man, you don’t have this store after you pass this village. If you don’t agree, I’ll tell others that you have gone there. Fatty Ma from Unit 3 has long asked me to introduce one to him.” Uncle Wu said that this matter is too urgent. Old Li's wife smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to reply."
After Old Li's wife left, Uncle Wu's heart became restless.
is only in his forties and very young. He stumbled on Old Li's wife's words, but didn't know who to discuss with him. He couldn't say anything to his son. He could say that she was only in her forties, very young, only ten years older than you? Uncle Wu's heart seemed to have a rabbit in his heart, which made him lose his mind for several days.
When my son was young, he listened to the old one. Now that my son is older, I want to listen to the young one.
After his wife passed away, Uncle Wu also thought about finding another woman, but he thought about it so much. It is not difficult to find a wife according to his current conditions. He has a house and a pension. As for my son, he opened a home appliance store. Every time he came to see him, he would ask him if he had enough money to spend, and he never wanted his son's money. Sometimes when his son leaves, he will secretly leave him a sum of money, which is not very small, but he brings the money to his son the next day. He doesn't need money. He lives alone, and eats as much as he can. Why do he need so much money? Seeing that he doesn't want money, his son proposed to hire him a nanny, saying that he would take care of him sooner or later. He disagreed and said that I was in good health and what kind of nanny I wanted! My son did not mention finding him a wife. As for him, he occasionally thought about it, but he didn't tell his son that he was worried that his son would disagree and that he would have a daughter-in-law. If he said that, his son would be considerate of him and what his daughter-in-law would think, so he just thought about it.
Two days later, Old Li's wife came again and said straight to the point, "What are you thinking?" I'll listen to you today. Uncle Wu grunted for a long time before saying, "Can I wait any longer? I have to discuss it with my son." Old Li’s wife said, “You have thought about it, she is only in her forties and doesn’t look old at all.” He said, I know! I know! Old Li's wife laughed and said, "What are you discussing? Why is a big man doing things like this? Mother-in-law and mother! If you can't make up your mind, then I will really introduce it to Fatty Ma." He said, can you wait until spring? You see, the Chinese New Year is coming. Old Li’s wife said, I’ve broken my legs for you. When you do it, you really should thank me. He said, that's it! That's it!
After Lao Tzu's wife left, Uncle Wu took a stool and walked out the door. He looked at the sky. He realized it was cloudy and went home in disappointment. The home is deserted, and the furniture in the room is still the same as before my wife died. When my wife is alive, she likes to nag. She is both a family and a family. She always waves her hand impatiently, and sometimes she even wants to find a plaster to put her wife's mouth on. Now that my wife has left, he missed those days a little. Life is different if there is that person and there is no one.
The years passed in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, the first month passed. Old Li's wife did not come to see Mr. Wu again. If she didn't come, he was embarrassed to ask, and the matter was put aside.
On a spring day, Uncle Wu was taking care of his two pots of flowers and plants at home. Suddenly, he heard a noisy outside and went out to see it.
Lao Wu, am I right? Lao Liu said loudly. You see, they are the developer. Looking in the direction of Lao Liu's finger, Uncle Wu saw a short and fat man pointing at the few people around him.
Look, the cars are driving. Lao Liu said again.
Uncle Wu saw a huge excavator and three cars.
The developer waved at the person who drove the excavator, and the excavator made a rumbling sound, and the huge shovel dug the ground.Uncle Wu felt a sudden pain in his chest and screamed, saying, "What are you doing?" The driver who drove the excavator didn't hear it. The shovel under his control kept falling down and lifting it up." Uncle Wu rushed forward and pointed to the developer's nose and said, "What are you going to do?"
Who is he? The developer turned his head and asked the people around him. The person asked shook his head and said to Mr. Wu angrily! Don’t you know the danger here? Get out of here quickly!
Mr. Wu looked at the excavator, then looked at the open space, pointed to a Chinese toon tree, and said, that tree is mine, if you ruin my tree, then I will fight you to death!
The developer said, get him away!
The two young men did not say anything, and took Uncle Wu’s arm and left.
What are you doing? What are you doing? Uncle Wu struggled, but the two young men were too strong.
A young man said, our boss bought this land, the mayor agreed, you still make unreasonable trouble!
Another young man said, go home and stay! Why are you making trouble at such an old age?
Uncle Wu said, you can't build a building there, even if the mayor agrees! We disagree, even if the mayor agrees, it doesn't count...
The developer smiled and told the two young men that he is a crazy man, get him away!
Old Liu hurried over and said to the two young men, "You can let go, how can you treat an old man like this?"
Uncle Wu said, I'll go to the mayor, I don't believe that the mayor will ignore it!
Old Liu said, "It's useless, your arm can't twist your thighs." Mr. Wu didn't think so. He didn't believe that there was no reason in the world. He wanted to find the mayor, saying that he didn't oppose them building a building, and he didn't object to how high they built it, but they couldn't block his sunshine. He wanted to bask in the sun and also bask in the sun for his master. He had this right.
The next day, Uncle Wu went to the city government. The person who received him was not the mayor, but a secretary of the mayor. The secretary claimed that his surname was Huang. He invited Mr. Wu into the office and made tea with cigarettes and asked Mr. Wu to say slowly, don't be excited. Uncle Wu said, are you the mayor? I want to see the mayor. Secretary Huang said that the mayor went to the province for a meeting. If you have any questions, you have made it to me. Uncle Wu said, I have a big problem and I am afraid you can't make the decision. Secretary Huang said, "Master, tell me, the government will make the decision for you." Uncle Wu wanted to see the mayor. He didn't trust the mayor's secretary and said, "I can't tell you clearly, I'm going to wait for the mayor to come back and tell him personally."
If you can't see the mayor today, I will come tomorrow, so I don't believe that I can't see him. Uncle Wu's donkey temper has risen. Anyway, he has retired and is idle. There is still time. As long as he can't die, he will go to the mayor every day. When people get older, they take things as if they are not right. He went to the municipal government to report the problem, not because he was unreasonable. He was so old and had no extravagant hope for life. He just wanted to tell the mayor that he wanted to bask in the sun, but they wanted to build a building in front of his house. After the building was built, he would not be able to bask in the sun.
From then on, Uncle Wu went to the municipal government every day. At the beginning, Secretary Huang received him. After a long time, he became impatient. Not only did he hide from him, but he also sent someone to block him outside the door. They didn't let Uncle Wu enter the door, so he waited outside the gate, moved a stool, and sat for most of the day.
All the people entering and leaving the city government building were in a hurry. Uncle Wu is not busy, and he has nothing to do except three meals a day. Those who entered and exited the building never ignored him. Sometimes he would stop one of them and say, is the mayor there? I want to see the mayor. The man laughed when he heard him say that, saying that the mayor has gone abroad. After hearing this, he said that the mayor is always very busy! The man said, of course! Can a mayor not be busy? In fact, Uncle Wu does not want to cause trouble to the mayor, and his request is not great. He just asks the mayor to take charge of those people and not block his sunshine.
At the beginning, someone came to ask him because of curiosity. Over time, those people turned a blind eye to him and even regarded him as a person with a brain problem. As for Uncle Wu, he is very patient in the waiting day after day. He will tell those who walk by him, "I'm not for myself, I'm for my master, he is my savior. I can't stop basking in the sun, but my master must not stop basking in the sun."He would also take out a yellowed and faded photo to let those people in the past see it, and keep saying, "Look!" He is my master. He died to save me. He was only in his thirties that year. He liked to bask in the sun. Every time we went to the well, we would bask in the sun for a while... That was many years ago. He felt guilty about the death of his master for so many years. If he hadn't saved him, how could something happen to the master?
Uncle Wu's son was very angry when he learned that he had gone to the municipal government to petition and said in a threatening tone that if you make trouble like this, you will be arrested!
Uncle Wu said, I didn't make trouble! I am obedient and I did not do anything illegal, why should I arrest me?
My son said, don't you want to bask in the sun? You go to my place to live, the balcony at home is large.
Uncle Wu said, I have a house myself, I won’t go to your place!
son said, don’t make trouble, everyone is busy, you are fine, you have nothing to do when you have enough food, and go to the municipal government to petition, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
Uncle Wu said, why am I unreasonable? I don’t! I just wanted to tell them that building a building can be done, but don’t block my sunshine!
My son said, you are not afraid of being laughed at by others, I am still afraid.
The day after his son found him, Uncle Wu fell ill. His son sent him to the hospital. The doctor asked him to be hospitalized for treatment, but he disagreed and said that he had a cold and would get better if he took some medicine. The doctor said that it was not a cold, and of course it was not a serious illness, but it was slightly worse than a cold. When Mr. Wu asked what the disease was, the doctor evasively said that it would be cured if the bottle was injected for two days.
My son wants to find a nanny to serve Uncle Wu, but he disagreed and said that if you want to have that filial piety, you should stay with me for two days, or you should leave. My son knew that his father was stubborn, so he said that we would serve you of course. If it weren't for your grandson going to school, I would call him to serve you.
that doesn't have to. Uncle Wu said that as long as my grandson has that filial piety, my illness will be half cured.
The son and daughter-in-law take turns serving Mr. Wu, who are the daughter-in-law during the day and son at night. But Mr. Wu still has some wife who wants to die. If her wife is still alive, she will come to take care of him, but her wife is gone.
After staying for a few days, Uncle Wu couldn't hold back and was about to be discharged from the hospital. My son disagrees, and my daughter-in-law also said that you can ignore us, but you must listen to the doctor's words. We will definitely not stop you when the doctor agrees that you will be discharged from the hospital. Uncle Wu said, I have no major health. If I stay in the hospital for a long time, I will get sick even if I am not sick.
After learning that Mr. Wu was hospitalized, Lao Liu bought fruit to see him, so the two of them naturally talked about building a building again. Lao Liu said that the building is built quickly, one floor a day, and when you are discharged from the hospital, the building will be topped off long ago. After hearing what Old Liu said, Uncle Wu carried out the discharge procedures with his son on his back. He didn't want to stay in the hospital for a day, as staying there would be a big mistake.
Lao Liu said it was right. The building had just started construction when he was hospitalized. When he got home, he was stunned: the building had already been built to the seventh floor. The construction site is surrounded by guardrails, and there is a large sign hanging on it, which says: Non-construction personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the construction site. Uncle Wu was about to enter the construction site, but before his legs could be stepped in, he was pushed out by a young man. What are you going to do? The young man said, go home quickly! This is not where you are going to come! Uncle Wu was pushed and staggered, so angry that he couldn't speak. I'll go find the mayor! Mr. Wu finally said it after holding it in for a long time. The young man said, it’s useless! It’s useless if you always go to the Secretary-General of the United Nations!
Uncle Wu blinked and looked at the building that was rising, and he had nothing to say for a moment. The buildings have been built, you can't ask them to demolish them.
It was afternoon. Uncle Wu came downstairs, put down his stool, and sat down. I will look at the busy construction workers and the sun that is about to set. When he narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the last sunshine of the day, the two figures blocked his sunshine. He was a little angry and said loudly, don't block my sunshine!
Lao Wu! The sun is almost set and still bask in the sun? The person who is talking was the three-unit fat man.
Uncle Wu glanced at Fatty Ma and then at the woman beside him. A woman is younger than a fat man, and is only about forty years old. She is dressed up with colorful eyebrows, her eyebrows are curved and thin, and her mouth is bright red.
Fatty Ma said to the woman, this is Lao Wu. The woman smiled.
Now Mr. Wu understood that Old Li's wife did not come to him. It turned out that she introduced the woman she introduced to Fatty Ma again. But he was not angry. The woman with curved and thin eyebrows was not the kind of woman he was looking for.
Later, when Uncle Wu was basking in the sun again, he stopped downstairs at his own house. He bypassed the building under construction and went to Tieshan three miles away. There were few people there and were quiet, so he could talk to his master. The arm can't twist the thighs, but the arms are more flexible than the thighs! Of course, there is another reason why Mr. Wu is not basking in the sun downstairs, that is, he doesn't want to see Fatty Ma.
Sunlight is everyone's, no one can buy it out. As long as it is not cloudy and rainy, you can bask in the sun everywhere, and you can tell the person who blocks your sunshine to let him go. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Mr. Wu himself or not, but the master must not let it go. For the sake of the master, he must bask in the sun.
Later, the building was built, and the real estate developer compensated each of the residents who were blocked from the sun. Uncle Wu didn't ask for that money because he couldn't figure it out. Sunshine could even be sold? Sunshine belongs to everyone, living people, and even dead people. Dead people also need sunshine. If there is no sunshine, the master will feel cold.
Every day, Mr. Wu has been fully addicted to the sun and always says to the master in his heart, Master, it’s time for us to go home.
Every day, when he saw him staggering back from Tieshan, people who know him would say, Lao Wu, is he back?
Uncle Wu nodded, and didn't say anything. He walked through the shadow of the building and slowly walked towards his home. Every time he walked by the shadow of that building, he felt a chill, a cold that penetrated deep into his bones.
building has been completed.
Fatty Ma and the woman in her forties also got married. That woman should have been Mr. Wu, so Fatty Ma made him get a big advantage.
Now, Uncle Wu still lives alone, and his son sometimes comes to see him, sometimes alone, sometimes a family. They never eat with Mr. Wu, and they always come and go in a hurry. Uncle Wu doesn’t blame them, he has become accustomed to life alone. Of course, this kind of life is inseparable from sunshine. No matter who it is, as long as someone is hindering his sunbathing, he will wave his hand and say loudly, dodge it! Don’t block my sunshine!
Uncle Wu sat in the sun field, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky. The warm sunshine is not changed even if it is given to a woman.
