Zhou Yuan had previously said that he had experienced so many ups and downs along the way, but he didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, he would be separated from his grandmother forever.
Think about life, there is too much sorrow, but everything is unavoidable, so he can only accept the change.
"Husband, why is life so short? Wouldn't it be nice to live 200 years?"
After sending the old grandmother away, Liu Xiaopan said to Zhou Yuan in a very bad mood. Zhou Yuan patted someone on the head and said with a smile: "Do you really want to live comfortably for 200 years? There is a song called "Looking to the sky, borrowing another 500 years."
Living to 500 is more comfortable." He laughed heartily.
But Liu Xiaopan couldn't smile at all. She said with a heavy heart, "I just feel that life is too short. Wouldn't it be nice if it were longer?"
Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "I think so too, but this is the reality. Life is short, so what can we do?
Everyone will leave this world, but when a newborn baby comes into this world and screams from the very beginning, it knows that the road ahead will be bumpy.
They have to endure a lot of hardship in their lives, so they always feel a little scared and cry."
This time, Zou Yuan's words made Liu Xiaopan laugh, but Liu Xiaopan said, "It's not what you said at all. Babies cry because they are frightened when they are born.
Then, I saw my mother and was very excited, so I started crying."
What Liu Xiaopan said was obviously even less reliable. Neither of them was a medical expert, so they only had a vague understanding of the issue of babies crying and could not give a detailed answer at all.
But these are not important, what is important is how they can live a better life, so Zhou Yuan said to his mother,
"Mom, after all these years, can't you live in the city with Dad? We'll take care of you there, so it's definitely better than the countryside, right?"
My mother was still very stubborn and said, "I won't go to the city. I have it so good in the countryside! The air is fresh, I'm free, and I can raise some chickens and ducks. It's very convenient to eat."
My father did not go to wash the novels, but stood by and said, "Your mother is right, I also agree to continue staying in the countryside.
We have lived in the countryside for decades and are used to it, but we are not used to gatherings in the city."
Dad waved his hand vigorously after he finished speaking. Zhou Yuan was speechless after hearing what Mom and Dad said. He quickly went up, took Mom's hand, and said very seriously:
"Mom, why don't you ask your sister for her opinion and see what she says. I think it's definitely better for you to go to the city than to the countryside.
At most, I would buy some vegetables and cook every day, and then dance in the square. Children in the countryside have to do everything.
Not only is it tiring, it's also dirty, the environment is definitely not as good as in the city, and it's not that convenient for you to dance square dance.
So you and Dad should think about it carefully."
Zhou Yuan tried his best to persuade them, hoping that they would change their minds and follow his arrangements.
In fact, Zhou Yuan has said this many times and for many years.
Several years ago, he said that he had just bought a villa in the city and was planning to bring his parents to live in the city. It would be so great to have the whole family together and have a big house!
Unfortunately, his parents refused to agree no matter what, and his passionate heart suddenly fell into an ice cave.
He walked without any energy. I took great pains to talk to my mother for a long time, hoping that he would accept it, but my mother refused in the end.
Since Dad and Mom were not going, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to let things take their course.
This time, since my grandmother is no longer around and my mother is in her hometown and doesn't have too many concerns, I hope to bring them to the city.
But my mother still refused firmly. After talking for a long time, we got nothing. In the end, the matter had to be left unresolved.
Jiaxing came to the factory to inspect for a long time, held a meeting with senior executives, summarized the experience of the power strip factory in the past few months, and announced some relevant measures and policies.
Zhou Yuan then prepared to go to the provincial capital. Before leaving, he said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, you must take good care of yourselves. When we are not home, you must exercise more and not do too much work. We have everything we need at home now. All we need is to protect ourselves and stay healthy!"
But my mother rolled her eyes impatiently and said, "It's always my mother who nags, but I didn't expect your son to nag me. Your mother and your father are not three-year-old children, so how could they not know?
Just go out and make money without worry! Let your mother be a grandmother again. You and your wife have been together for many years, why is there no movement? Why don’t you go check it out? "
Liu Caijuan kept mumbling and talking for a long time, which made her daughter-in-law Liu Xiaopan feel embarrassed.
Liu Xiaopan lowered her head, staring at her belly, as if she had made a mistake, and thought to herself.
How could my mother-in-law be like this? It's not like she doesn't have grandchildren. Besides, the grandchildren she has are in the city and won't come to the countryside. If she asks him to go to the city but he refuses, what can she do?
Zhou Yuan saw his mother nagging, and fearing that Liu Xiaopan would get angry, he quickly said with a smile: "Mom, you are already old, why are you still worrying about this?
I told you to go to the city and enjoy life, but you refused to go and always preferred the countryside. Even if you had a grandson, you wouldn't be able to see him. Would he ever return to the countryside?"
Liu Caijuan went to listen and said angrily: "It's all your fault. You send your mother to the city every day. Is the city so good?
Look how comfortable I am in the countryside. My chickens cack and lay many eggs every day. The ducks are so well-behaved. I also have a dog. Look how well-behaved our Xiaohua is!
Every time you come back, he follows you with a barking sound. Can you feed a dog in the city?
If I keep a dog in the city and it bites someone, what should I do?
Zhou Yuan laughed at his mother's words. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mom said you're amazing, but you still don't believe me. There are people in Chengdu who keep dogs, but their dogs don't bite people.
In fact, even in the countryside now, if your dog bites someone, they will come after you.
Did you know that rabies shots are painful? They require multiple injections, are expensive, and are unbearable.
So it’s best not to keep a dog. As long as people are healthy, isn’t that good? "
That day, Zhou Yuan talked with his mother for a long time about letting them go to the city.
Of course, we argued for a long time, but the result was the same as usual: who convinced whom?
Finally, Zhou Yuan could only sigh. When he and his wife were chatting alone, he said to his father,
"Dad, you are an educated man. If Mom doesn't want to go to the city, you should persuade her. You support staying in the countryside. Do you think Mom will go?"
"If she doesn't want to go, then don't go. I don't want to go anyway." Dad said angrily, "They say young people have great ambitions. I have no objection if you want to go out and explore the world.
But I like the countryside. Please don’t always ask me to go to the city. Let’s live according to our own ideas, okay?
Don’t always impose your ideas on others.”
