The story took place in the winter of 2009, and I vaguely remember that it will be the twelfth lunar month in three days.
A heavy snow fell the night before, and it was also a heavy snow that had not been seen for several years.
I got up in the morning to sweep the snow, and just swept to my uncle's house. I saw an old man in his seventies kowtowing to the uncle.
The old man was having breakfast. When he saw the old man kowtowing him without saying a word, the old man was so panicked that he even put the bowls and chopsticks on the ground, and quickly helped the old man up.
What the old man said next will never forget in my life. In the end, the old man taught me a good lesson with the old man's story.
th that year I was 21 years old, and I graduated from college in half a year.
Because I didn’t get a good score in the college entrance examination, I went to a junior college.
At that time, I originally planned to wait for the holiday at school to see if there were any suitable units coming to the school to recruit in advance.
Think about seeing if there was a suitable opportunity before the New Year and try your luck in advance.
As a result, my second uncle called me and said that I would not have to find a job by myself during the New Year's internship. He contacted a company in my hometown and said that the manager he was recruiting was his friend.
I studied logistics major, and it is not easy to find a job without connections, so I asked for leave in advance and went home.
I originally thought of going to my second uncle's house the next day and asking me to take me for an interview.
But unexpectedly, it snowed heavily at night, and there was a thick layer of ice on the road, so I didn’t go there.
Generally, there is not so much attention in rural life. When it snows, every household will clean their own yard and go to the alley to sweep the snow.
In previous years, I followed my father to sweep the snow. This year, I voluntarily took this job, and the beautiful name is to respect my parents.
After cleaning his yard, he took a broom to sweep the snow in the alley.
Thinking that my uncle's waist was not good, he wanted to clean it directly for him.
Just when I swept to the old man's door, I found an elderly tricycle parked at his door, and there were all kinds of messes on the car.
Seeing that the door of the old man’s house was not closed, out of curiosity, I walked in with a broom.
As soon as I entered, I saw an old man kneeling down and kowtow to the old man.
His voice was a little hoarse, and while kowtowing, he said to the old man: "Brother, okay, give me a bun. I haven't eaten for two days, I'm so hungry."
The old man happened to be having breakfast and just came out of the kitchen with a bowl.
Looking at the old man kneeling down and kowtowed directly, the old man hurriedly put the bowls and chopsticks on the ground, stepped forward and pulled the old man up to kowtow.
"Old brother, old brother, what are you beating? If you don't feel happy, get up quickly." The old man helped the old man up and said hurriedly.
When the old man saw me walking in, he greeted me and said, "Xiao, come to the house to help bring a stool."
"Let your aunt serve a bowl of porridge and bring two steamed buns."
I didn't understand what was going on at first, and I wondered why there are still beggars in this era.
But when I heard what the old man said, I quickly went to the house and said something to the aunt, and moved out a stool.
I put the stool in front of the old man, and the old man helped him sit down.
"Old brother, it's unlucky to kowtow early in the morning. Besides, no one can afford to kowtow to anyone of your age. If you are hungry, I will care about your fullness. If you have any difficulties, just talk and I'll give you an idea." The old man said immediately.
When the old man saw the old man speak easily, he couldn't help but comfort him. As soon as he sat on the stool, tears fell from his eyes.
"Brother, I am a miserable person." The old man wiped his tears and continued: "I have two sons, and no one cares about me. My daughter-in-law thinks I'm useless and can't help with any work, so she drove me out."
The old man said while gesturing out two fingers with his fingers and said crying.
"Old brother, where is your home?" the old man asked
"My home is by the Yellow River beach to the west."
"It's not far from this, it's only more than thirty miles." The old man said.
As she was talking, the aunt came over from the kitchen with a bowl of rice and two steamed buns.
I quickly helped take over the bowl, took the chopsticks and handed them to the old man.
"My family drinks porridge and eats pickles in the morning. Don't dislike it. I added some pickles to you in the steamed buns, so you can eat them with rice soup." The old lady said as she handed the two steamed buns to the old man.
"Oh, don't dislike me, don't dare to dislike me."
The old man looked at the bowls and chopsticks, looked at us again, and stood up again with the bowls.
"I have a rice bowl in my car. I'll get the bowl. You pour the rice into my bowl." The old man said as he turned around and looked at the car outside the door.
"Just drink this bowl, don't take the bowl, the soup will cool down in a while." Seeing this, the aunt said quickly.
"No, no, I'm old and dirty. Hehe." The old man said and grinned.
"The beggars have the rules of beggars, they are tender and kind-hearted, I can't do this." The old man insisted on going to the car to get a bowl of .
I saw that it was not convenient for the old man to hold the bowl, so I asked him to help him get it.
"You are young when you come back, you can't find it, I'll go by myself." The old man handed me the bowl and said as he staggered out the door.
The old lady looked at the old man walking out the door and said to me and the old man, "All times are the ones who are hard-working. Although this old man is old, he is also a person who understands the rules."
The old lady glanced at the old lady and continued, "Look at this old brother, he must be in his seventies or eighties. He has never experienced anything at this age. He was also a tempered person when he was young."
was just talking, and the old man took his own bowls and chopsticks and walked in from outside the door.
When the old man came to me, I almost shocked my chin.
days! This is not a bowl or chopstick, it is obviously a plastic basin with half of the broken side and two small wooden sticks.
When the old man saw us, he probably knew it was a little shabby. He opened his mouth and smiled and said, "I picked this basin from the road. When I went to someone's house, I asked for orders. If I gave too much, I would put it in it. I could continue to eat the next meal."
"If it was a bowl, it wouldn't hold so many things."
The old man and the old lady insisted on letting the old man use the bowls and chopsticks at home to eat, but the old man was very stubborn.
insisted on the third place, but the old man still poured the rice into his own basin.
Snow just happened at night, and the weather in the countryside is still very cold.
The old man might be hungry. After pouring the rice into the basin, he held two steamed buns in one hand and the basin in the other, and then started to eat and drink in big mouthfuls.
When I ate the second steamed bun, the old man probably felt that the steamed bun was not easy to bite, so he soaked the steamed buns in a basin and then started eating.
The old lady felt that the old man was very hungry and was afraid that he would not be full, so she went to the kitchen to get two steamed buns and brought another bowl of rice.
The old man had almost eaten all the rice in the basin at this time. When he saw the aunt bringing the rice over again, he chewed things in his mouth and said vaguely, "Enough, enough."
After saying that, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "I haven't eaten a bite of hot rice in two days. Today is the most I have eaten. I'm old, if I can't starve to death, I'll give it too much, and it's a waste of food."
The old man felt soft-hearted, and when he heard the old man say this, tears instantly flowed down.
"Then you can take it too. If you don't eat this meal, eat the next meal." The aunt said sobly.
After pouring the rice into the old man's basin, the aunt stuffed two steamed buns into the old man's hand. When she turned around and left, she muttered: "Oh, I can't see such a miserable person. I feel uncomfortable when I see me."
I heard from the elders chatting that the aunt married the old man when she was young. At that time, the aunt's family was also very poor.
The old lady has many brothers and sisters in her family, with three sisters above and two brothers below. She ranks fourth in the six brothers and sisters.
When the aunt married the old man, the matchmaker proposed to her, and neither of them met each other.
The aunt told the matchmaker at that time: "As long as the man has food to eat, he can treat me as a person, I don't look at his appearance."
The third day after the kiss, the aunt came to our house with a bag and married the old man.
At that time, there were many young men of the same age as the old man in the village who had not gotten married. The older generation came to our house alone and married the old man. Everyone had jealousy that they could not say.
Even good people came to the house to see the old man's appearance, they mocked the old man and said, "I have never seen a woman come to get married by herself. She is poor and has a very cheap life. "
The aunt didn't know everyone at that time. She only heard everyone laughing at her, but the aunt didn't say a word.
Everyone dispersed when they saw that the aunt didn't say anything.
Later, the aunt said when chatting and laughing to us, "At that time, they all came to mock me, saying that my life was cheap, but this family could give me food, and I couldn't starve me to death, so I just thought they were jealous of me. "
Therefore, the aunt can't hear anyone say that there is a miserable person in her life. Many times, when she hears people say these things, the aunt will feel uncomfortable for a while.
When the old man finished his meal, he put the remaining soup and steamed buns in the car.
I thought the old man had left like this, but I didn't expect that the old man would put down the things and walked into the yard.
"I don't have money to give it to me. I picked this hoe from outside. I looked okay. You can use a whetstone to sharpen it for a few years. "The old man held a hoe without a wooden handle and said to the old man.
"Old brother, there is a hoe at home. If you sell it as scrap iron, you can still exchange it for two dollars. You can buy food. "The old man hurriedly said he couldn't accept it.
"Brother, I'm useless, nothing can be given to you. You are a kind person and are afraid that I will starve to death and give me food. I can't eat your food for nothing, you have to accept this hoe. "The old man raised his brow and said to the old man.
Seeing that the old man could not convince him, the old man hurriedly took the hoe and pulled the old man to the stool and let him sit down and talk.
"Old brother, if you don't have a suitable place to go, you can sit down and rest for a while. There is no work to do in the cold weather, so you won’t have to rest in the house? "The old man said.
"Hey, I can't enter the house, I'll bother you if I get to the yard. People are old and dirty. "
This is the second time I heard the old man say this dirty word. I also think what the old man said makes sense. When he was young, he was also a person with rules and temper.
"Small, then go to the back of the house to carry a bundle of corn stalks and then get a few pieces of chopped wood. It was too cold, so we roasted the fire in the yard to warm up. "The old man said to me.
I immediately got up and went to the house to get firewood after hearing this.
When I came back, the old man was smoking with the old man.
I saw the old man smoke a cigarette, and after sucking it into his lungs, he vomited a lot of smoke, which seemed very comfortable.
Now after I smoked, I realized that the old man's behavior seemed to be a feeling that all men who have smoked cigarettes liked.
"I have not smoked for more than 20 years. "The old man still gestured with two fingers.
"Brother likes to smoke when he was young? "The old man asked
"Like it! I have been smoking secretly since I was twelve years old. At that time, there were no cigarettes. My parents didn’t let me smoke them, and I didn’t give tobacco leaves . When I was picking cotton in the cotton field, I took the dried cotton leaves and crushed them as tobacco leaves. "
The old man was smoking a cigarette. When he heard the old man ask, he seemed to ask about his naughty things when he was young.
This is the first time I saw him without pressure, and he smiled naturally when I saw him without pressure.
Two people were roasting on fire like this, and you chatted one by one for a while.
Then the old man asked the old man: "Old brother, if I ask something inappropriate, you are so old, why are you still coming out to beg for food? "
" I just heard you say that my two sons and daughters-in-law are not alone in your business? "
The old man took a sip of the cigarette, and a cigarette had burned to the cigarette butt. Seeing this, the old man took out the cigarette box and took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man.
The old man did not refuse at this time. He took the cigarette and quickly lit another cigarette roll with the unextinguished fire.
"When I was young, my family was poor, and I was two brothers. I was the second brother. My eldest brother got a problem when he was in his teens and died of not curing it."
"My father and mother looked at me very delicately, for fear that I would have something wrong with me. I worked hard to make some money and told me about my wife's wife."
"The wife gave birth to two sons for me, and I suffered a lot with me. I thought that we could both have a blessing for both of us, but we didn't expect that she would have no blessings. She just got married for two years and she died of illness."
Speaking of this, tears began to appear in the old man's eyes, as if he was thinking of something sad.
"After she died, I was the only one left."
"I have two houses, both of which gave them to two sons."
"At the beginning, when she was still alive, she could help her son watch the child, and I could also help with some work, so I lived with her two sons."
"After my wife died, the two daughters-in-law began to dislike me. She said that my children and children could not see anything, and they could not do anything."
"When I was young, I went to Shanxi to get married for my two sons. The conditions were not good at that time, and the media well was wet. After I came back, I felt rheumatism, and my legs were not smooth when I was old."
The old man picked up the fire pier with a wooden stick and continued.
"At the beginning, the two daughters-in-law often made me angry, and they were beaten and beat me. But my son could still take care of my daughter-in-law, and this life was just like that."
"I got sick two months ago and couldn't move anything. I let my two sons take turns to serve him for a few days."
"The two sons have boys, and they are both at the age of getting engaged."
"The two sons gave them sports car , and they were all away, waiting for the money to be used, and they didn't say anything to me when they left."
"The son went out, and the two daughters-in-law were both out of the house. They were waiting for the money to be used. They didn't say anything to me when they left."
"The son went out, and the two daughters-in-law were both out of the house. The woman was unwilling to serve me, so when I got better, she asked me to work in the field. "
" I didn't expect that when I got home, my eldest daughter-in-law locked the door tightly and asked the neighbors next to me. My neighbor said she had gone to her parents' home and said that she had something to do with her parents' home and would take a month to come back."
"There was no choice but to go to the second daughter-in-law's house. When the second daughter-in-law saw that I was coming, she inserted it into the door and told me to ask me to live with everyone. "
The old man was excited, and he was talking and saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth. The old man might feel indecent, so he quickly wiped his saliva with his hands.
"Brother, what will you do if you see this situation?" The old man looked at the old man and asked
"Then I can't stand this betrayal. If my child treats me like this, even if I can't control my daughter-in-law, I will have to break my son's leg!" The old man said angrily.
"Yes! I can't stand such a cowardly aura!" The old man cursed
"Since I was a child, I have never touched their fingers. When I get old, I am still angry with them!"
"When my wife was alive, I saw them being delicate, but I couldn't break my legs."
"The next door to the mahjong, people say that they don't fight for steamed buns, people are buried in their necks, where can they not be buried in people!"
"I came out in anger and saw if I can starve to death after leaving them."
"As I said, the old man began to get excited, cursing his son and daughter-in-law, while constantly wiping his tears.
When I saw the old man was a little excited, he comforted him for a moment, and then handed him a cigarette.
"No more smoke, thank you brother. I have to leave, and if I don't leave, I should be annoying." The old man waved his hand and said.
said that, and the old man slowly stood up.
"You sit down for a while and roast the fire to remove the cold." The old man tried to keep him again.
"No, just leave after lunch here. Today is a sunny day, and it should be warm at noon."
"I can't eat, I won't say anything."
"It's rare to see you as kind-hearted person, I can't help but say a few more words."
"It's hard to be old, it's hard to be old, it's useless when people get old, everything is difficult..."
"I won't say anything, brother, I can't say anything anymore. I can't finish my grievances for three days and three nights..."
"It's almost dead, I'll die wherever I go, and I will never give anyone any more Trouble..."
The old man said goodbye to us while saying goodbye, and walked out of the yard tremblingly.
Mr. I walked into the alley and wanted to send the old man off.
Mr. was about to push the car and walk away when he saw me and my uncle come out, and stopped and said, "Thank you, brother, you are a good person, and good people will be rewarded. When I die, I will accumulate blessings for you. "
said, and the old man pushed the car away without looking back.
When the old man turned around, the old man quickly took out a stack of money from his cloth pocket and stuffed it into the old man's right pocket without making a noise.
When he watched the old man leave the alley, he didn't see anyone anymore, and the old man and I went back to the yard.
Maybe what the old man said stimulated the old man, so the old man took out a cigarette and lit it, and sat next to the fire.
Looking at me and said, "Xiao, have you seen it? You have lived such a good life now, and there are such pitiful things happening. "
" You children must learn to be content. You should study harder and work hard on your daily life. "
" After joining the work, you have money in your hands. You must remember to be filial to your parents and never be an unfilial child! "
" If you and your brother get married in the future and marry a wife, you will be so unfilial, your father and I will go out to beg for food like this old brother. At that time, the family is not a family, and people are not humans, and no one knows wherever we die. Do you think it's pitiful? ”
Hearing the old man's heart-wrenching words and thinking about the old man's situation, he couldn't help but feel aroused in his eyes and tears flowed down.
