Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 261 A Life of Ordinariness, Why Would I Be Content? (3) [Two in One]

"Mom, if you really like the breakfast at this restaurant, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to come over and buy you breakfast every morning. Anyway, I have to send my two children to school every day.

Although it's not on the way, it's not a particularly detour either.

It only takes a few minutes to drive.”

Sitting in the car waiting for someone to open the door was not a good idea and was quite boring, so Qian Ya simply asked casually to start a conversation.

Otherwise, one person can't hold a mobile phone.

Just keep silent and watch short videos.

"The food we bring back is not tasty. It tastes much worse than what we eat in the store. And I don't want to bother you all the time. Just eat it once in a while. If you really eat it every day, you will probably get tired of it after a few days. It's because you can't eat it often that you always miss it."

It was not until Bai Sheng got on the bus and felt hungry that she remembered the breakfast shop that her original body had been thinking about for some time, and she mentioned it casually.

Since we are already out, we might as well go back and have breakfast.

Then it would be a waste of time.

"Yeah, that's right. If you want to eat there someday, just tell me. I'll take you here as long as I'm free. You can also tell me if you want to eat anything else. As long as I'm free and in the local area, we can go there."

Qian Ya certainly wouldn't mind saying nice things.

Anyway, she hardly has time throughout the year.

The original person has always been a person who is unwilling to trouble others, even his own children. He would try his best to do the work himself. He would only trouble his children when he really couldn't do it. He would feel embarrassed and felt that he had caused trouble for his son or daughter.

Having been together for more than 20 years, and knowing the original person's personality quite well, naturally, he is not afraid that the original person will often cause trouble to him.

"Okay!" Bai Sheng replied perfunctorily.

Then, the two chatted for a while until the breakfast shop opened and they got out of the car to order food.

A bowl of sweet tofu pudding, a bowl of salty tofu pudding, a fried dough stick, a salty sesame bun, and a crispy sesame ball, fifteen pieces in total, Bai Sheng was very full. The freshly made and tender tofu pudding, the fried dough stick and crispy sesame ball that were out of the frying pan less than two minutes ago, and the salty sesame bun that was still a little hot, all tasted good.

"These fried dough sticks and sesame balls taste best when they are fresh out of the pan. They are so crispy and not greasy at all!"

“The sesame seed cakes are also delicious, with a hint of scallion and a crispy texture.

The taste is completely different from the one that was put in a plastic bag for half an hour and then brought home. Now this is delicious. The food that is packed and taken home is just to fill your stomach.”

Bai Sheng's evaluation was also recognized by her son and daughter-in-law. It is indeed delicious when it is freshly cooked.

If they come out to buy breakfast according to their usual schedule.

It's impossible to buy freshly cooked ones.

After all, the shop can't just fry the dough sticks or glutinous rice balls after every customer orders them. They are all fried and put aside. So, apart from buying them when they are frying, you can only eat the ones that taste slightly worse at other times.

This is also to save costs in all aspects.

After all, oil, salt, charcoal, fire, labor and the like all cost money, and except for those who are particularly particular, no one cares about these things. Breakfast is just to fill the stomach. If you are really particular, then just come early and wait.

After breakfast, they went to the market to buy some of the freshest vegetables, then returned to the breakfast shop they had been to before and packed two portions before driving home.

There are two children at home who haven’t had breakfast yet.

It's a good idea to bring one for each of them.

When they got home, the couple and their child, who was going to take the college entrance examination today, had obviously left because they couldn't wait any longer. Bai Sheng went back to his room, Su Lifeng packed up and prepared to open the door, while Qian Ya brought breakfast upstairs for the two children and asked the youngest son to eat before taking a nap.

As for the eldest daughter, she had to go to school after eating.

My youngest son is in the first grade and doesn’t go to school until nine in the morning. My oldest daughter is in her second year of high school and is about to enter her third year. She has morning self-study at seven in the morning. Generally speaking, she has to be at school at six-fifty and must leave the house at six-thirty to avoid traffic jams.

It was almost six o'clock when I got home.

Wash up after breakfast.

It’s not 6:30 but 6:20 now. If I don’t send my child to school now, he or she may miss the morning self-study. I heard that next year when he or she is in the third year of high school, he or she will have to start half an hour earlier.

After I dropped my daughter off, it was almost seven o'clock. I could rest for ten minutes at most before I had to rush to drop my youngest son off at primary school. Their primary school starts at seven-fifty, and after dropping my youngest son off, I would normally buy groceries on the way back, so I would definitely get home after eight o'clock.

No need to buy groceries today.

But I don't think it will save much time.

After coming back, she has to do her job as well as some housework, such as washing clothes, hanging clothes, mopping the floor, etc. In addition, the canteen has to be open, and when there are many patients in the clinic, she has to help as a nurse. At half past ten or a little after ten, she has to be busy cooking again.

With this schedule, where can I find time?

Fortunately, my daughter and son have lunch in the school cafeteria, otherwise it would be even busier if we had to pick them up at noon and send them back in the afternoon.

Sometimes there are some ideas to be conveyed.

She still had to go to the meeting, after all, she was the director of the Women's Department.

Each task individually is not that big, nor is it particularly tiring, but when they are squeezed into one day, it is really hard to have some free time!

Only after picking up the children in the evening and having dinner can she take a break. In this situation, how could she have the nerve to insist on going out to play?
I can only stay in the house obediently.

Try to cause as little trouble as possible to your second daughter-in-law.

Bai Sheng didn't have any intention of causing more trouble, so after eating and drinking, he went back to the room and continued to lie down and watch short videos. He didn't stop until his eyes became blurry and he felt tired. Then he started to check his original account to see how much money he had in his account.

The old house has been sold by the eldest son who obtained the property rights, and now the original owner has no house under his name.

I really live under someone else's roof.

Without calculating his assets, Bai Sheng would have no idea. Money is the courage of a hero, no matter how old or young. Without enough money, you will not have the confidence to speak. Most children in the world will find it difficult to run away from home no matter how angry they are, isn't it because they don't have much money?
They are childish and immature, but not stupid!
If you have hundreds of millions in your hands.

Who can't just run away from home in a fit of rage?
It’s similar for the elderly. If they don’t have much money or assets, they won’t have the confidence to speak, and they don’t dare to show their displeasure to their children or throw a tantrum. Of course, those who are shameless and stubborn don’t count.

Finally, check carefully and do some calculations.

There is only over 90,000 yuan, less than 100,000 yuan in savings.

Looking back at the original body's memory, it was about the same. When the original body and her husband were young, their salary was not high to begin with, and they had three children to raise, so the expenses were naturally not small. Later, when the children got married, even when their income was not high at the beginning, they received subsidies and never asked the children for a penny. When they retired, they also spent their own money to help take care of the grandchildren, and never asked for a penny.

Including the old man's illness and the original body's surgery, all of which were spent with his own money. However, for supplements and nursing care, each of the three children contributed a little.

Also, the old man's inheritance was divided between his two children after his death. Although it was not much, each family received nearly 100,000 yuan. After all, the old man had a lot of pension, and his conservative treatment for his illness did not cost much.

The reason why it is divided between two children is, of course, because the daughter is not qualified to share the inheritance, so just having a witness will do.

The savings in the original body were mainly saved from her own pension.

My original pension was not much, only about 1,000 yuan a month, and even less in the past few years. On average, I only had 10,000 yuan a year in income. In addition, I also earned some income every year from renting the land at home to others, but it was also not much.

You definitely don’t have to spend money on meals or anything like that.

But you still have to give New Year's money to the children who come to visit you, and you also have to spend money on other people's birthdays, weddings, funerals and other social interactions. Adding up all the expenses, it's good if you can save 7,000 or 8,000 yuan a year. Sometimes, with so many social interactions, you may only be able to save 5,000 or 6,000 yuan.

The children knew that she had a pension, and they didn't have much expenses on weekdays, so during the holidays they would basically give her some food supplements and would never offer cash.

So deduct the cost of last year's surgery.

Being able to save nearly 100,000 is already pretty good.

"Money is fine. At least if I want to make more money in the future, I don't have to worry about not having the first installment. But if I stay at the second brother's house all the time, I will definitely not be able to fulfill the original body's so-called last wish. Her last wish is really difficult to fulfill!"

If the original body had almost no money, Bai Sheng's first reaction would definitely be to find a way to make money. If his pockets were really empty, he would be unable to do anything. But now that he has nearly 100,000 yuan in savings, making money is not so urgent, and he can think more about other things.

For example, how to fulfill the original body’s last wish?

This time she really had no idea.

Because of the glory of death, the greatness of death, the shocking death that makes the world weep and the ghosts cry, the death that will be recorded in history and will be remembered forever, this kind of last wish is really too vague.

None of them is as realistic as wanting to become an immortal.

Becoming an immortal or an ancestor at least has a clear goal.

Just as Bai Sheng was about to figure out what he should do to fulfill the original body's last wish, Qian Ya called and told Bai Sheng to go to the kitchen for lunch.

In order to reduce the number of times the original body climbed the stairs, and also to reduce the risk of accidents, his family usually ate in the kitchen and did not need to go upstairs. Unless there were too many people during the Chinese New Year or Mid-Autumn Festival, when the whole family was reunited, and the kitchen table could not accommodate them, they would go upstairs and eat at the round table.

Although he still had to think about how to fulfill his last wish, he also had to eat. After hanging up the phone, Bai Sheng put his phone in his pocket, picked up his cane, and slowly walked towards the kitchen.

Then we sat down and had our meal.

Help wash dishes after dinner.

I don't know what those doctors are thinking. They have to come at noon when people are eating. They eat in half an hour at noon. Three patients come, but when people come, they have to receive them. They can only put down their bowls and chopsticks to see them, get the prescription after the examination, and then come back to pick up their bowls and chopsticks and continue eating.

But they are used to it and it doesn't matter.

After washing the dishes, Bai Sheng dried his hands with a rag and sat in a chair outside to bask in the sun for a while. Although it was a little hot, it was still bearable. After all, it was only the beginning of June and was far from the hottest days of the year.

Her bones are in good health and she takes calcium supplements every day.

Getting more sun exposure can also help calcium absorption.

After basking in the sun, she went back to the house. Her children were busy and her grandchildren had to go to school. Even if they had some free time, most of them would rather check their phones. Only after she learned how to check her phone would she not be so bored.

After returning to the house, Bai Sheng didn't want to watch those short videos for the time being, so he specially found some video software.

Then they each became members.

Find some popular variety shows, TV dramas, etc. to watch.

Compared to short videos, these are at least a little more nutritious, and you don’t have to flip back and forth frequently.

Once you become addicted, start chasing it.

Time flies by even faster.

For the next few days, Bai Sheng lived in decadence. During the process, he used the energy cultivated by the Turtle Breathing Technique to nourish his eyes, ensuring that he could see the video clearly even without his glasses.

It wasn't until four days later that her daughter came over.

Her daughter, Su Lihua, would come over to help her take a bath every once in a while, and sometimes would bring her some of her favorite soft and glutinous snacks. At least considering her status as a daughter, she had done very well.

Because the temperature was not particularly hot and had even dropped recently, her daughter Su Lihua naturally took her to the bathhouse to take a bath out of concern that she would catch a cold if she took a bath at home.

The conditions for the nearby bathhouse to accommodate the elderly are:

You must be accompanied by a family member.

People in their 50s and 60s can bathe by themselves, but it is too dangerous for people in their 80s and 90s to bathe alone. Bathhouses should also consider the risk issue. They cannot just earn a few dollars from you for bathing, but also take the risk of having to pay hundreds of thousands of extra medical expenses. It is safer to have family members accompany you, and even if something happens, they will be less responsible.

So if no one brings it.

Bai Sheng wanted to take a shower by himself, but no one would let him.

After taking a shower, Bai Sheng said directly:
"Lihua, I want to stay at your house for a while. Do you think it's convenient? I don't know how long I'll stay. I just heard there's a park behind your house. I'm too bored staying at my second brother's house. I want to go to your house and hang out in the park."

Bai Sheng's main consideration was that his original body had lived with his second son's family for twenty years and they were too familiar with each other, so it would be quite troublesome to make some changes.

As for my daughter's family, since she got married, they are only a little closer than ordinary relatives. In recent years, only my daughter has come relatively frequently. My son-in-law and grandson are basically the same as in the past, only coming once during the holidays, and they are still quite unfamiliar with each other.

In this case, it would undoubtedly be more reasonable for her to wait until she moves to her daughter's house before making some changes.

Even if I go back one day, my personality will have changed slightly.

It can also be attributed to the son-in-law and grandson.

It is completely reasonable for your personality to change after spending time with different people.

“I’m sure I’ll be fine with this.

It should be fine for the two of them. I have the final say at home anyway, and their opinions are not important. But we are not like my younger brother and his wife, who are at home most of the time. My husband and I have to go to work every day.

Although Xiaohao is a freelancer, he stays at home.

But you don't have much in common.

You may have to stay indoors most of the time. At most I can take you to the park behind when I have time.

Oh, by the way, my parents-in-law are free.

When the time comes, let them keep you company. You are all of the same age, so you should have something to talk about!"

If my biological mother wants to come, let her come. Anyway, her family has enough food to eat and there is no shortage of place for her to live. The only thing I need to worry about is her health, and nothing can happen to her again.

Then Su Lihua thought of her parents-in-law. Anyway, her parents-in-law were fine and in good health.

It would be nice to ask them to keep you company.
