Lu Qing's son stood at the door with a reluctant look on his face, his tone full of doubt.

Shen Qiqi knew that this group of people would not cry until they saw the coffin.

She cleared her throat, ignored Lu Qing's son's harsh questioning, and walked out with Lu Qing in her arms, "Come on, husband, let's go build a paradise for grandma!"

The sun is shining and the breeze is not dry.

Shen Qiqi rolled up her sleeves, full of energy.

Lu Qing looked at her, and the tenderness in his eyes could drown a person.

The two men, one swinging a pickaxe and the other holding a shovel, cooperated with each other tacitly, as if they were born to work together.

The yard was bustling with activity, and the fragrance of the soil mixed with the smell of sweat was surprisingly alluring.

Shen Qiqi would give Lu Qing instructions from time to time, "Dig deeper here, make it smoother there," acting just like a foreman.

Lu Qing was also happy to follow her instructions, with a doting smile on his face all the time, and only her in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Lu brought a small stool and sat at the gate of the yard, squinting her eyes as she watched the two busy people.

The sunlight shone on her face, softening the wrinkles.

She watched Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing talking and laughing, and occasionally giving each other a "hug of love", and her heart felt sweeter than eating honey.

This is what home looks like, warm, lively and full of the flavor of home.

The yard soon changed its appearance. Flowers, plants and trees were arranged in an orderly manner, the water in the small fish pond was sparkling, and even the air became much fresher.

The whole family sat together under the newly built pergola, drinking herbal tea and eating snacks, having a great time.

The warm atmosphere, like a spring breeze, blew away the previous haze.

After everyone recovered, Shen Qiqi clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Okay, everyone, now let's talk about the practical implementation of the retirement plan." She had a mysterious smile on her lips, making it hard to figure out what she was up to.

"In order to let everyone experience the difficulty of elderly care more intuitively, I have decided that for the next month, everyone will take turns to take care of grandpa and grandma, one person per day." When Shen Qiqi said this, everyone was in an uproar, as if the pause button had been pressed.

The smile on the eldest uncle's face froze, the second uncle's eyes widened, Lu Qing's cousin looked incredulous, and even Lu Qing's son opened his mouth as if his jaw was about to dislocate.

"Alone every day?" My cousin broke the silence and asked doubtfully, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"That's right. Every day, I'm alone, taking care of my grandparents' food, clothing, and shelter from the clock, and experiencing the joy of being a full-time babysitter." Shen Qiqi smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish, with a cunning glint in her eyes.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected Shen Qiqi to do this.

Is there a hidden copy for this retirement plan?

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's confident look, his eyes full of anticipation.

The days of taking turns to take care of the elderly are like a large-scale metamorphosis, allowing everyone in the Lu family to experience the bitterness of "raising a child".

My uncle usually lives a life of luxury and is too lazy to even pour himself some water. Now, he has to take care of Old Madam Lu's excrement and urine. His old waist is almost broken. He finally understands what it feels like to "serve others" and complains bitterly.

Second uncle is usually very frugal and spends every penny carefully. Now he has to cook for Old Mrs. Lu and buy meat and vegetables. He is so distressed that he finally understands what it means to "only when you have children do you understand the kindness of your parents."

Lu Qing's cousin always complains that the old lady eats too slowly or snores when she sleeps. He feels that his life is bleak and finally understands what it means to "have an old person in the family, like a treasure, but it's really tiring."

Lu Qing's son has to wash his grandfather's feet and comb his grandmother's hair every day. He feels like an old woman and finally understands what it means to have old people above and young children below, with me in the middle.

The daily "taking care of the baby" life made everyone in the Lu family deeply realize the difficulty of the elderly, and gradually understood Shen Qiqi's good intentions.

From complaining at the beginning to actively sharing the burden later, their attitude towards Shen Qiqi's plan changed 180 degrees.

The eldest uncle began to take the initiative to help the old lady wash clothes, the second uncle also began to buy snacks for the old lady, the cousin began to tell jokes to the old lady, and Lu Qing's son also began to take the initiative to help the old lady massage her back.

The family atmosphere became visibly harmonious, everyone was talking and laughing, and even the air became particularly sweet.

Shen Qiqi looked at all this, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She knew that her efforts were not in vain.

She is like a band conductor, skillfully coordinating every note to make the melody of the whole family more beautiful.

That day, when Shen Qiqi was tidying the yard, she accidentally heard several aunties in the village complaining about the village nursing home.

"Oh, I don't know when this nursing home will be renovated. It's such a shabby place, there's not even a decent bed." "Exactly. The last time I visited my mother-in-law, the bed was as hard as a rock, and my back ached from sleeping on it." "My mom also said last time that there's no hot water in the shower area, and it's so cold in the winter that she shivers."

Shen Qiqi frowned when she heard this conversation.

Only then did she remember that if she only took care of her family, the problem of elderly care in the village would be a bigger challenge.

She put down the tools in her hands, walked up to the aunties, and asked curiously, "Aunties, is the nursing home you are talking about really that bad?"

The aunts started talking at once, listing all the problems in the nursing home, such as outdated facilities, poor sanitary conditions, insufficient nursing staff, etc.

Shen Qiqi was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that the elderly care environment in the village would be so bad.

It seems that we have to find another way to solve the pension problem.

She returned home and told Lu Qing about the situation.

"Hubby, the nursing home in the village is really terrible. We have to find a way to fix it."

Lu Qing also frowned. "Yeah, I've heard that the conditions in the village nursing home are not good, but..."

"Just what?" Shen Qiqi asked.

"It's just not an easy task. There's no one to pay for it, and no one to help."

After Shen Qiqi finished listening, she turned around and walked out, leaving Lu Qing standing there in a daze.

"Wife, where are you going?" Lu Qing shouted.

Shen Qiqi didn't even turn her head, leaving only a sentence "I'll go get help", and then disappeared into the night.
