1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Uncle Dong, I'm going to trouble you guys next."

The next morning, Han Xiuying said gratefully after arriving at the nursing home in the town.

"Girl, you're being polite. Such a small job is nothing to us. What you two do is really good." Hu Yadong said.

"Just now I took a quick look. The houses here are all with pointed roofs and tiles, which is similar to the factory of Tiezhu. It's still very simple to do it."

"But some houses are too old, and the beams on top are not good. It's better to replace the roof than to repair it, and it will save us from worrying in the future."

"Uncle Dong, you have the final say on this matter. Whatever you say, we will do it. Anyway, Tiezhu will have to purchase the materials in a unified manner, and he will pay for it." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Good guy, you are not soft-hearted." Huang Jianxin was happy.

"Hehe, we have to distinguish between public and private. Although we are a couple, he can't be vague when it comes to contributing to society." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Watch it, this is a real leader, I can only follow orders." Chen Tiezhu shrugged his shoulders.

"Dad, when can Doudou be a leader? Doudou is just a soldier." Doudou, who was held by him, asked pitifully.

"My God, you are the biggest leader in our family, who has to listen to you." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Mayor Han, Mayor Han, come over now."

At this time, a woman in her fifties ran over in a hurry.

"President Zhao, this is Chen Tiezhu and the villagers of Erdaoling Village. Chen Tiezhu pays and the villagers work." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Today we are here to take a look first, and then calculate the materials. Later, we have to vacate the houses where people live, otherwise it will be inconvenient to work."

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter how you fix it. We will be satisfied if we can tidy up the house." Dean Zhao said.

"Mayor Han, you have really done a great and practical thing. This house was built many years ago. Every summer, it leaks here and there."

"Dean Zhao, don't worry about it. It will definitely be fixed this time. But will some lonely elderly people from other villages come here to increase the burden of the nursing home?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"It's nothing. Mayor Han told us when we had a meeting." Dean Zhao said with a smile.

"Don't those people have their own land in the village? Let them help plant it. After the autumn harvest, we can make some money."

"It's nothing. Food and drink don't cost much every month. We are old and our appetites are small. The most important thing is to take care of those who are unable to move, which takes up a lot of time."

"Now there are only five people in our nursing home, 23 elderly people. We are busy every day. It would be great if we can get two more people."

"President Zhao, don't worry, we will consider these issues in the future. And there will be adjustments to the welfare benefits of our staff." Han Xiuying said.

"With such an arrangement, it can actually be regarded as reducing the burden on the village, allowing these lonely elderly people to have a happy old age."

"But it cannot increase your workload because of this. However, the expansion and recruitment of people must wait for the approval of the county. I have already submitted the report."

"Good, really good, this is a good leader who really gets things done. Thank you, young man. I heard that you will pay for all the money when the time comes. You are a great kind-hearted person." Dean Zhao said with emotion.

"Big sister, you don't know yet? Tiezhu and Yatou are a couple, and they are very kind." Hu Yadong said with a smile.

"Oh..., no wonder, I thought, how come such good things happen to our nursing home." Dean Zhao said in surprise.

"Hahaha, it's nothing. Yingzi cares about these old people, and I still have the ability here for the time being, so I will help them." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"You can also rest assured that our nursing home will also be the target of our company's assistance in the future. We don't have a lot of money, but we will send some rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables, etc. from time to time in the future."

Hearing his words, Han Xiuying glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, and was also considering whether to give this guy a little reward when no one was around.

"Brother, I won't say anything else. It's all hypocritical to say too much. Just wait and see how well we serve these old comrades in the future." Dean Zhao said.

"I'm very relieved about this." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Just now we went to each room to see, from the bathroom"It can be fully reflected in the nursing home. Every room is very clean and every bed is very tidy. We work very hard. "

"We should show respect to you. There are only a few people who have made the whole nursing home so neat and tidy and taken good care of the elderly. They must have done a lot of extra work. "

"Yes, even if it is the elderly of a family, they are taken care of in this way, right? To put it bluntly, sometimes you are so busy that you may not be able to take care of them. "Hu Yadong also sighed.

This is also the first time he has come to the nursing home. Today he has an understanding of it.

He doesn't know what the significance of Han Xiuying's second fire is. His most intuitive feeling is that these people are well taken care of here.

Is it so easy to serve the elderly?

Whoever serves knows.

"Hey..., it's nothing. We have done this job, so we have to do it well." Sister Zhao said with a smile.

"The town also gives us a lot of help every year. During the New Year and festivals, we are the one who sends us the most things. ”

“Didn’t Mayor Han get so many sea fish before the New Year? He sent us a lot of them. We usually don’t want to buy them because they are too expensive.”

“Tiezhu, Dean Zhao and his family often have two sets of meals. The good food is given to the elderly first, and they just eat simple food.” Han Xiuying said.

“It’s nothing. We all have families. When the family improves, we can also eat a bite.” Dean Zhao said with a smile.

Listening to her words, Chen Tiezhu felt very emotional.

Thinking about the abuse of the elderly that is often reported in later generations, this is a good era, and there are many simple people in this era.

Although he came here this time to help Yingzi’s fire burn more vigorously, at this moment he felt that what he did was worthwhile.

Putting aside selfish thoughts, this matter can continue in the future.

“Ding ding ding”

At this time, the sound of car horns came, and a row of cars drove over.
