"Two...Mr. Duan, please recall it, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Okay, let me think about it... I just retired... I just retired, that's what the old woman said. That old guy with a black skin can retire and re-employ, I thought I will definitely not lose to him... I won't mention this matter." The old man Exhaled.

The old lady next to her opened her mouth, but hesitated, and finally said nothing.

The old man continued: "After returning home, as I told you, I stayed at home for a few days and couldn't sit still. I went to the teahouse in the community. It was at the entrance of the community. You came in from the east gate, right? Right at the east gate, there are many old people drinking tea, listening to the show, and chatting there. When I’m at work, I sometimes go there on Saturdays and Sundays, but I feel... It feels different... I just had a job before and looked at those retired old men... Sigh..."

The old lady sighed next to her.

The old man looked reminiscing, "I still remember that day, an old man in Building 13 over there was listening to the radio and said that the pension for the retired population will be increased based on age. He said yes, and there will be an increase. I just said, "I can't compare to those who work." He smiled and said, "It's free money." I was so angry that I scolded him for being a freeloader. He said something to me. There was a quarrel."

The old lady muttered something without saying it loudly.

The old man was furious, with a serious look on his face, "The two of us were pulled apart. Someone pushed me out. I didn't want to be with them. I came back. If you want to offend someone, just do it. It can only be the old man from Building 13, right?"

"What happens after you go home?" Wu Ling asked.

The old man frowned and looked even more serious, "What can I do after I get home? I just come back and watch TV at home instead of going out to drink tea with them."

"Didn't you feel any discomfort that day?" Wu Ling then asked.

The old man shook his head, "I'm angry..."

The old lady interjected, "I'm sulking."

The old man glared at the old lady.

The old lady turned her head and stopped talking.

"You continue." Wu Ling said.

The old man hummed, "I'm just a little angry, so I went to bed early, that's all."

Wu Ling asked the old lady: "Is that so?"

The old lady nodded and added: "He went to bed very early that day. In the next few days, he was still angry. He didn't go out and went to bed early. I was still worried and told my son. Later he probably figured it out. ”

The old man said: "What is there to think about? It's just like that. What does that sentence say? We have different paths and we don't work together. Those bad old men and I are not on the same page."

"Okay, okay, you and them are not on the same page. You just offend people everywhere." The old lady complained.

"Hey, you old woman..." the old man patted his thigh and stiffened his neck and said, "How do I know they are so wicked? And this matter is in modern society. Every house has electricity and running water. You can watch TV every day, why are there such monsters? Who would have thought of this! Besides, it’s their fault for having a son!”

"Okay, okay. The one in Building 13 has grandchildren," the old lady said.

Wu Ling interrupted the bickering between the two, "Mr. Duan, is this what you remember? That day, you only remembered that you went to bed early?"

"Yes." The old man nodded.

The old lady also nodded, "I didn't notice anything wrong that day."

Wu Ling asked again: "We contacted your eldest son and heard some things from him. Aunt Duan, have you traveled with your two daughters before?"

"Yes, we traveled together." The old lady nodded, "Not only that time, our children and grandchildren are very filial. They have traveled with us several times...the old man has also Been there.”

The old man echoed, "I've been there several times. It's not interesting."

"You still agreed." The old lady said, and then added, "I think it's all good. It's fun to go out and play."

"Yes." Wu Ling said, "Did you come back early from that trip?"

The old lady thought for a while, "Oh, there was that one time. The old man called and said that he couldn't eat well or sleep well."

The old man said unhappily: "They are just a few little annoyances. They said they would take care of me, so why should I take care of them? After they got married, they haven't been together for many years and they are not used to it. They came over suddenly and asked what happened. No matter what I do, I feel uncomfortable."

Wu Ling asked: "What did they say they did?"

"Well, they said..." The old man suddenly fell into memories and whispered, "They invited people to chant sutras at that time..."

The old lady's eyes widened, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I had a headache because of the noise from those monks. Who knows what the boss and the others were thinking? They suddenly found someone to chant sutras." The old man frowned.

The old lady worriedly asked: "Is it possible that this matter was not caused by you, but because the boss and the others offended someone? They haven't said anything yet. Have they also encountered this kind of thing?"

"This..." The old man looked at Qingye's people.

"Is this what you two remember?" Wu Ling had no intention of answering.

The old man and the old lady thought for a while.

The old man said: "That's all."

The old lady asked: "Little girl, you are in this business, you must know it very well. Is it true that the ones who are in trouble are our boss and the others?"

"We still need to investigate this. We hope that you two can recall what happened in the past four years as much as possible. The most important thing is the time when Mr. Duan just retired four years ago... Please think about it carefully. Is there anything strange that you haven’t noticed before?”

The two of them fell into thinking again following Wu Ling's words. However, after a while, both of them shook their heads.

"In this case, we still need to talk to your two children. If you have anything in mind, please contact us at any time."

As soon as Wu Ling finished speaking, there was the sound of getting up, clothes rubbing, and the chair being pushed.

The two old men also stood up.

The video screen began to shake.

Both parties say goodbye.

The camera pans again.

The two old men walked out of the door and waved to the camera.

For a moment, as if due to reflection, the figures of the two old men disappeared on the spot. But soon, this frame became normal again.

"...and I saw new bugs squeezing out of the light switch..."

click!

"How about it?"

"Uh--I heard a lot of bug sounds. The sound of flies flying, and the sounds of bugs crawling around..."

"Can you hear the insects squirming?"

"Of course. It's that sticky sound...eh...he has been sitting on the sofa for so long, wouldn't something fall into the office?"

"Won't."

"Oh, all right."
