Chapter 991: Aunt Lianhua
At 5:30 in the morning in winter, it was still pitch black outside, but the sound of rustling as people got out of bed could already be heard in the old farmhouse courtyard.
Aunt Lianhua tidied herself up efficiently, then turned to look at the old lady lying on the bed next to her.
Under the lamplight, the old lady's cheeks were round; although her wrinkles were deep, her complexion had become rosy. With the good food and sound sleep she'd had lately, even her upper limbs had more strength.
Now, without needing her daughter-in-law's help, she could sit up with a push of her hands, put on her padded jacket, turn around, and with difficulty, support herself on the wheelchair beside her to sit down.
"Mom, it feels like your movements are much more agile again."
Aunt Lianhua watched from the side, her eyes full of surprise.
"That's right!" The old lady was happy too.
In the past, her daughter-in-law had to take care of all these things. She had saved effort, but the psychological burden was heavy, and besides, it was tiring!!
The son she had raised wasn't a good person to begin with, and now she was dragging others down; Aunt Lianhua didn't even like to drink much water at home.
Now it was different. After getting into the wheelchair, she first touched the thermos cup and gulped down a lot of hot water, then pushed the wheelchair toward the courtyard; she wanted to go to the toilet.
Aunt Lianhua nodded in agreement. The old lady was getting on in years, and she would repeat herself whenever she felt a bit emotional. Aunt Lianhua had heard those words more than once.
Not doing so would be letting down all the kindness of the Song family.
The village was quiet, and the streetlights had long since gone out, but in the dim morning, the asphalt road surface could still be seen clearly.
Clearly, she had plenty of confidence.
That toilet was a flush toilet that Lianhua had bought in October, with bars fixed on both sides, so she only needed to push with both hands to sit down.
Aunt Lianhua was also happy: "If it needs to be spent, it must be spent! Yanping told me that this is called a rigid demand, something that must be bought; enjoy it sooner by buying it sooner!"
But drinking a bowl of white fungus soup every morning was different. Ever since she discovered this, Aunt Lianhua had stewed a bowl every night.
The old lady pursed her lips: "Fine, let's do it that way for now."
But their graves were also scattered in each family's fields...
Thinking about it this way, the old lady sighed again: "It's all my fault for not teaching him well!"
The old lady had already started counting: "Look at Tan Tan's Seventh Uncle, his son hasn't been back for so many years, right?"
She ate on the mountain every day now, but the tea and snacks from the Song family had never been lacking; she had benefited quite a bit!
"How can everyone be unfilial?" Aunt Lianhua laughed.
"The three children of Zhang Wang's family."
If they are biological sons who don't recognize their mother or their daughter-in-law, what kind of people could they be?
Aunt Lianhua moved nimbly: "The quilt and bed sheets were packed last night. Mom, you drink this white fungus soup first; this morning we'll eat with the canteen on the mountain."
"Ask around to see if we can buy one? Is 20,000 yuan enough?"
Oh my! If she had known there was something like this that could wash and dry, she would have bought it earlier! She had let her daughter-in-law suffer for so many years.
The old lady nodded happily: "Right, right, right! Don't look at Yanping as if he doesn't do much work; he graduated from a good university and earns money with his brain. He is also a kind person."
"Lianhua, is the money for decorating the room on the mountain enough? If it's not enough, take this 20,000 too."
It's different from those who are completely shameless!
Thinking about it this way, is it really because the ancestral graves are buried in the wrong place?
However, the old lady had given it to her again. She had been weaving straw mats in the Song family all summer this year, and because she wanted to make many patterns, she had earned over 8,000 in the highest month...
The old lady muttered: "I saved 27,000 yuan this year. I'll give you 7,000 later and keep 2,000 for myself. You ask Tan Tan and the others about that electric wheelchair now; I see on Tremolo that it can run on the big road, and the speed isn't slow!"
That white fungus soup was still the broken white fungus ends that Song Tan had given her before. She was old, and since she sat on the toilet every day, it wasn't very smooth.
The old lady came up with a good idea: "Right, you take the 20,000 yuan to decorate the room, let's not buy the wheelchair for now! If that bastard comes back during the New Year, I'll throw a tantrum and demand it from him!"
"You hurry up and tidy yourself up, then tidy up the bedding. After I finish tidying up, we'll go straight up the mountain."
She could push it herself now, it was just a bit strenuous going uphill. If the old lady didn't have strength in her arms now, she wouldn't necessarily be able to push it up.
The old lady was old, but her heart was clear and her eyes were bright.
That smart one cost 3,000 yuan!
Thinking about how stupid she was in the past, she only knew how to save money when she had it, and couldn't bear to spend even 10 or 8 yuan! Not to mention anything else, just that smart toilet, it could be bought for 3,000 yuan. If she had bought it earlier, why would Lianhua have had to take care of her for so many years?
There were unfilial people in other villages too, but they didn't go that far; at most, they would just grumble when the elderly were sick or hospitalized...
"Keep the money whether we buy the wheelchair or not. Everything is decorated on the mountain. Take the quilt and sheets there today and put them away. If it really doesn't work out, the two of us can come and live there; it's just as nice."
Although the direction of sitting was reversed, she was old, so it didn't affect her use at all. Couldn't the flushing and drying work?
"That Li old man who herds cattle... I heard Song Tan say it in the summer. If he were truly filial, Li old man would definitely have come back in style this year to tidy up the house. But I see, when the year ends, I don't know how miserable he will be!"
Neither of them were dawdlers. The old lady finished a small bowl of white fungus soup in a few gulps, and Aunt Lianhua put the packed sheets and bedding in her arms, then pushed the wheelchair straight up the mountain.
As for herself?
She didn't need to.
Besides, if she pushed it out and encountered something she couldn't avoid in time, Lianhua would always be worried... Working for others, why was she always hanging on to her home?
That was why she became more and more dedicated to her work.
This road was built really well!
"And that thing in our house."
Actually, the canteen on the mountain had breakfast every day, but the old lady had no work to do now, so she felt embarrassed to go. Anyway, boiling two eggs for breakfast herself would do.
The old lady came out of the toilet, and while washing her hands, she ordered:
However, after the old lady finished speaking, she laughed first: "Oh my, why am I so generous? I'm willing to part with 20,000 yuan!"
While muttering: "The feng shui of our village is really bad. Why are one or two of them unfilial? During the New Year, should we discuss moving the ancestral graves or something..."
Lianhua's monthly salary!
Now, hearing about the man who used to make her unable to hold her head up, Aunt Lianhua's mentality was quite peaceful: "It doesn't matter if he comes back or not. If you feel uncomfortable when he comes back, we'll go live on the mountain. I've also installed a smart toilet on the mountain."
"In the summer, his classmate called and said that the monthly salary is over 20,000 now. If he goes out to work, it must be at that level. We can't earn over 20,000, so listening to capable people is never wrong."
Not just Zhang Yanping, everyone in the Song family was singled out and talked about.
Fortunately, there was another focus today—— ===== CHAPTER 992 =====
