Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man
Chapter 1249: The lonely old man
Stopping the car at the entrance of the old alley, Jiang Xiaobai took Jiang Langlang and walked in.
In summer, there are still many people enjoying the cool air in the alley, but it is already cool in autumn and it is a bit chilly at night.
The people living in the alley are all elderly people who have not been out at home.
But the little lights coming from the yard make people feel at ease.
"Dad, I'm back." Jiang Xiaobai pushed open the courtyard door and shouted loudly, just like when he came home as a child.
Jiang Langlang had already run towards the house with his short legs clanking.
Still calling grandpa, Jiang Tieshan was lying on the rocking chair and listening to storytelling with squinted eyes.
Hearing the voices of his son and grandson, he got up from the rocking chair and saw his grandson running into the house.
"Langlang, come here, grandpa, give me a hug." Jiang Tieshan held Jiang Langlang in his arms.
Jiang Tieshan's body is quite good and very strong.
"mua..." After kissing his grandson, he felt something was wrong and looked at Jiang Xiaobai: "Did you let him drink? He got it with you. Why does he smell like alcohol?"
"I didn't pay attention while eating. He secretly drank some beer." Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Langlang, you are too young to drink beer." Jiang Tieshan said with a smile.
He didn't take it seriously at all. He was a child and was curious about everything.
Jiang Xiaobai often stole wine from him when he was a child.
"Forget it, I'll brush his teeth." Jiang Xiaobai said, if Zhao Xinyi goes back and lets Zhao Xinyi smell Jiang Langlang's smell of alcohol.
You have to be angry.
"Okay, let's go." Jiang Tieshan handed the child to Jiang Xiaobai.
"Dad, have you had dinner tonight?" Jiang Xiaobai asked while playing with his son.
"have eaten."
"What to eat?"
"Some noodles left over from lunch, and then I fried an egg." Jiang Tieshan said casually, turning down the sound on the radio a little, but not turning it off.
"How can this be done? I always eat leftovers. If you really don't want to live with me, I will hire a nanny for you." Jiang Xiaobai suggested.
"No need." Jiang Tieshan rejected his son's proposal: "I'm used to living alone, but I'm not used to having more than one person in the family."
He has many children, and they all want to take him to live with him, but no one of his children's family is willing to go.
He just wants to live alone. According to his words, he is pure and comfortable alone.
In fact, I went to my son and daughter's home, and my daughter also works all day long. As a man grows old and returns to his roots, he likes to live in this small courtyard where he has lived all his life.
He has a retirement salary, and his children are not short of money, but he is unwilling to ask for it.
Usually when the children come over, they can’t finish the food they bring him, and there’s nothing they need to spend money on.
Longgang sometimes gave out welfare benefits, but that was never without him. Just kidding, the director of the logistics department didn't want to give a share of the welfare benefits to the factory director's in-laws anymore.
They were all driven here by the logistics department.
The guild would sometimes come to express condolences to him. If there were any activities held in the factory, he would be called upon in lively scenes.
Zhao Gang also knows this, but let's make it special. Jiang Xiaobai is such a father.
Unfortunately, his mother-in-law left early, and Jiang Xiaobai put all his filial piety on Jiang Tieshan.
I have dedicated my whole life to the factory, and I don’t get any special treatment. I only give some to my in-laws, and no one will say anything.
There is no one in the whole alley who doesn't envy Jiang Tieshan. Each of his children is more promising than the last.
Moreover, each one was more filial than the other. Jiang Tieshan had no worries about food and drink, playing chess and walking around all day long.
Unlike their family, none of their children are worry-free. The family is already having a difficult time, and as a result, they still need to provide some support for their children.
But only he knew how lonely Jiang Tieshan was. He was playing chess outside and would not want to leave once he sat there.
Every time he plays chess, he must be the last one. He will not go back until everyone has gone home and there is no more chess to play.
Because when others go home, the old couple is very lively, but as for him, he will be alone when he goes back.
Sometimes when the weather was nice, he would sit in the yard by himself all day long. Except for eating, he would lie there motionless until the sun set.
A radio must be turned on when in the house, even when sleeping.
After brushing Jiang Langlang's teeth, he sat with his father for a while, and then Jiang Xiaobai took Jiang Langlang away.
On the way back, Jiang Langlang tilted his head curiously and looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "Dad, why doesn't grandpa live with us?"
"Grandpa doesn't want to."
"Grandpa, why don't you want to?"
"Because this is my grandfather's home, and he has lived here all his life, so he doesn't want to live with us."
Jiang Xiaobai said a little sad. After raising a son and a daughter for a lifetime, he was still alone in the end.
There will be lonely old people in later generations, and Jiang Tieshan is now a lonely old man.
Looking at the little thing next to him, Jiang Xiaobai didn't want him to grow up.
"Son, will you leave your father when you grow up?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at his son fiercely and asked.
Jiang Langlang shook his head and said, "No, no."
"Okay, then you can write me a letter of guarantee tomorrow."
"Yeah." Jiang Langlang responded, and Jiang Xiaobai laughed.
When she got home, Zhao Xinyi was watching TV series on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing the father and son entering the door, he glanced at them and said, "I think we won't have to cook at home anymore, and I can eat in the cafeteria.
It turned out that the father was not coming back, but now that he has picked up his son, neither father nor son is coming back. "
"There is something going on in the company today." Jiang Xiaobai took off his coat, came to sit next to Zhao Xinyi, and explained with a smile.
Jiang Langlang sat directly in his mother's arms, staring at the TV.
"Okay, you are always busy." Zhao Xinyi gave Jiang Xiaobai a gentle blow. She was either angry or her son had not been home to eat for several days.
She was just a little disappointed, feeling as if her son could live without her.
"By the way, let me tell you something. My dad's eating problem still needs to be solved. I took my son to see dad just now. All he ate was the leftovers from lunch..." Jiang Xiaobai said.
Zhao Xinyi nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let the boss' restaurant arrange for someone to deliver food every day.
As for the nanny issue, if it doesn’t work, let’s find two first and let them go back and try. If it doesn’t work, let’s talk again.
The old man is soft-hearted. If someone goes, he will not be cruel enough to drive them away. "
"Okay, I'll talk to the boss tomorrow." Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said. Although Zhao Xinyi's method was a bit like cutting it off first and playing it later, he was really sad to see his father alone at home.
