Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Wen Rui asked uncertainly, "Will he lose his temper?"

The nurse said in embarrassment: "Not really." Telling the family members that the old man has a bad temper is really a bit...

Wen Rui nodded in understanding, he lowered his head in thought, is it because no one is with him?If this is the reason, then there is nothing he can do with Ms. Jiang and the others. None of them will quit their jobs to take care of the elderly, and according to the independent nature of the elderly, he is particularly afraid of troublesome children. If Ms. Jiang and the others resign Accompanying him at home, the old man's heart may be even more tormented.

Wen Rui's expression dimmed. He knew that the old man was caught in a difficult situation. He couldn't find a balance point, so he could only suppress himself, and his mental state would get worse and worse.

"Mr. Wen," the nurse called him when he saw him in a trance, "what are you going to do?"

"Talk to him." Wen Rui laughed. In fact, he had thought that he was responsible for taking care of the elderly. So he had this idea, but the Zhang family had reservations about him at the time... to make that suggestion to Ms. Jiang and the others Said it was almost unbearable for them.

Ms. Zhang and the others now come to visit the elderly every day. They are obviously worried about the elderly. How could they send their sick father hundreds of kilometers away to be taken care of by outsiders?

But he still decided to give it a try, he couldn't let the old man have heart disease, it would be very bad for his recovery.

The nurse sighed: "That's the only way. But... can you not ask too bluntly? If Grandpa Zhang knows that I am making a small report, I'm afraid he will be angry with me."

Wen Rui couldn't help laughing when he saw the embarrassment of the other party. He comforted the man: "You are doing it for grandpa's own good, and he won't blame you. Thank you. Let's take something back."

Jiang Yueting was playing a game with the old man. He played a game of whack-a-mole, with the speed set to the slowest, and asked the old man to play and move his fingers.

Zhang Huaibin smiled at Wen Rui when he heard them come back: "Come and sit down."

Wen Rui was in a heavy mood, but in order not to let the old man see the clue, he cheered up and chatted with him.

He tentatively said: "You are recovering very quickly. I might as well pick you up after a while. You can go to the store with me during the day. I am basically the shopkeeper now, so you can settle accounts with me. You usually use your mouth to let others Just do the work."

As soon as the words were finished, a flash of longing flashed in the old man's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. He laughed dryly, but did not answer.

Wen Rui had a panoramic view of his reaction, and he could see that the old man had concerns, and he was a little puzzled.

There was a smile in his eyes: "What's the matter? You don't want to?"

Zhang Huaibin shook his head: "That's so troublesome."

"No trouble, what's the trouble? Isn't it the same as before? Besides, you are not always in this state. When you recover, you don't need me to take care of you. I'm just afraid that Ms. Zhang and the others will worry."

The old man murmured: "Troublesome." Then he stopped talking.

Wen Rui didn't expect this to happen. He looked at the nurse next to him, who also looked at him helplessly, not knowing what to do.

Wen Rui suddenly remembered something, and he called the nurse out, "How does grandpa usually go to the toilet?"

The nurse smiled awkwardly when she heard the words: "You have to use adult diapers, you have to change them at noon and before you go to bed, and you have to wash your lower body when you have a bowel movement." He paused, "Grandpa Zhang may not be able to adapt, every time he is very uncomfortable. uncomfortable."

Wen Rui just felt suffocated, his throat seemed to have a fishbone stuck in it, and it hurt him a lot.

"Mr. Wen, do you really have to decide to take grandpa home?" The nurse scratched his head, "I think that's fine. You are his family and can take better care of you. Then I may have to find another family."

Wen Rui came to a sudden: "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully."

"No, no, no, I don't blame you. We can find jobs very easily, and we don't have to worry about being unemployed. This job is a bit tiring, but the salary is very high."

Wen Rui really thought this person was very nice, so he thanked him again and again.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Ms. Zhang tonight. If they agree, I'll let you know. We won't take grandpa home right away. We'll probably have to wait for more than 20 days."

"Thank you, more than 20 days is enough." The nurse looked at the time, "Grandpa Zhang is about to eat, I'm going to get it."

The elderly have to eat less and more meals. There are specially customized nutritious meals here.

After they left, Wen Rui went back to the room.

Zhang Huaibin's spirit recovered a bit, Wen Rui hesitated for a while and said: "You can also hire a nurse when you go back."

The level of medical care in Huai City is still a certain distance from the city level. It is not easy to find a nurse in Huai City, but it is not impossible at all, it just needs more work.

"Don't worry about it, it's fine like this." The old man shook his head and refused to agree.

Wen Rui didn't understand the crux of the problem. Finding a nurse to take care of the elderly was no different from now. He didn't understand why Zhang Huaibin insisted on refusing.

"What's wrong? You despise us?" Wen Rui smiled wryly, showing an aggrieved expression.

Zhang Huaibin was anxious: "No, it's not."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Zhang Huaibin pursed his upper lip in refusal, refusing to speak.

Wen Rui and Jiang Yueting looked at each other, he let out a tired breath, and stopped pushing the old man.

The nurse took care of the elderly and ate a nutritious meal. The elderly ate very little and had to inject insulin to lower blood sugar after eating.

Zhang Huaibin sat for half an hour after eating, and the nurse wanted to change him into a diaper and let him take a nap.

Jiang Yueting paused, and then he remembered that the old man couldn't take care of himself, but he quickly hid his emotions and pretended to be nonchalant.

When the old man heard what the nurse said, he felt completely wrong.

The nurse knew that he would do the same thing, and wanted to push him into the bathroom as usual, but just as he touched the handle of the wheelchair, Zhang Huaibin suddenly shouted, "Don't touch me."

He was so loud that the nurse was startled.Wen Rui didn't expect the old man's reaction to be so intense.

After Zhang Huaibin yelled, he couldn't help but glanced at Wen Rui. His face was gray and he looked very old. His sunken eyes flashed with anger, but there was a hint of helplessness. A trapped beast of death, trying to break out of the cage but unable to resist.

He murmured softly, "Don't touch me."

Wen Rui hurried over and squatted beside him to comfort him: "Don't get excited, don't get excited."

Jiang Yueting frowned.

Sadness flashed in Zhang Huaibin's muddy eyes. He moved his white and chapped lips, and said sadly, "You guys go away. It's too embarrassing. This appearance is really too embarrassing."

He has lived for so many years, and his life has been smooth and smooth, but when God gave him such a calamity, all his dignity was trampled under his feet.

Of course he hopes that Wen Rui and the others can accompany him, and he also hopes to return to the small town where he has lived for most of his life, but he can't accept letting others scrub his body in front of the child, let alone letting Wen Rui take care of himself like that.

When the nurse changed his diaper for the first time and wiped the dirt off his body, he suppressed the pain in his heart and pretended to stand on the sidelines, trying to maintain his pride.

When he smelled the stench in the air, he couldn't help trembling all over his body. At that moment, he was so humiliated that he wanted to die.

He carefully observed the nurse's face with a pretentious posture, his dizzy old eyes became a magnifying glass at that moment, he didn't want to let go of the subtle changes on the other's face.

If he sees someone showing disgust, he will definitely yell and ask him to get out with harsh words, and get out with his little salary!Maybe this will make him appear bitter and mean, but it can conceal that he is a submissive little old man at heart.

Good thing the kid didn't, and the kid was... fine.

Wen Rui would not listen to him, he held Zhang Huaibin's hand, and the old man's hand was dry and warm.

"I know what you're thinking." His eyes were full of distress, "No one will dislike you, we won't."

"Really?" Zhang Huaibin smiled wryly.

Of course not at first, because I love him, so I can tolerate him, maybe I will feel sorry for him and pity him... Then what?That kind of feeling wears out in the day-to-day care, and I have to tolerate the dirt and stench every day. It seems that I can’t go to the end, and I gradually start to complain, and then I even have terrible thoughts in my heart-why is this bad old man? It's not dead, there are so many years left, why do you always drag us down.

Thinking of this made him feel cold all over his body, and he wished he could die immediately.

He wants to leave a good memory in the hearts of the children, instead of being bored and disgusted through long-term memories.

Wen Rui said to the nurse: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry just now. But I want to talk to grandpa, you..."

Before she finished speaking, the nurse nodded quickly, hurried out of the room, and closed the door intimately.

Jiang Yueting did not move.

Seeing someone go out, Wen Rui sighed: "If you don't want me to take care of you, let's go back and hire you another nurse, shall we?"

Zhang Huaibin shook his head, he wanted the current child, his heart really couldn't stand the stimulation, he couldn't try to verify whether another nurse was as hardworking as the current one.

"That's all, I want this."

"Why? You can trust that he doesn't dislike you, but he refuses to trust us?"

The old man's eyes were blank: "This is his job. He has the money to take it. You don't. You just throw a lot of money on me. That's it, that's good."

"But I won't spend money on you. If Ms. Zhang and the others really agree with me to take care of you, they will definitely cover all your expenses, and they will also save you the cost of living in a nursing home." The words are too pale, comforting It doesn't work for the old man. The other party is only willing to believe the thought in his heart. Wen Rui can only put it another way, "And I... have you considered how much money you gave me? The monthly profit of restaurants and hot pot restaurants is You know how many times the salary of the nurse."

Zhang Huaibin: "No, it's different."

"What's the difference?" Wen Rui stood up angrily, "Do you know that it's like locking yourself in a room like this, and you're going to die of pain, but you desperately tell people outside not to save you, It's more dangerous outside, there are tigers trying to eat you."

Jiang Yueting looked at Wen Rui, who was blushing with anger, in surprise.

Zhang Huaibin also became excited: "You don't understand anything! What do you know!"

"What don't you understand! Everything is taken for granted by you, do you think it's for our own good? This is just your distrust of us. You bad old man! You are selfish!"

Jiang Yueting didn't step forward to stop them from arguing, but rather relaxed. In fact, after getting along for so many years, his brother and the old man would quarrel, and the old man would even dislike his brother verbally. Very smelly little old man.

"You are selfish!" Zhang Huaibin was so angry that his chest heaved and he suddenly pointed at Jiang Yueting, "When you get old and lie on the bed, will you let him take care of you?"

Jiang Yueting: "...he has nothing to do if he refuses, anyway, he has no ability to resist."

Zhang Huaibin stared at him upon hearing this.

Wen Rui calmed down, and he said slowly: "There is nothing worse than the current state, isn't it? You are not really happy. If you continue like this, it will be a torture for you."

Zhang Huaibin said coldly: "No, I'm very happy."

"Yes, it's happy. Pretend to be an amiable old man just to let us come to see you."

Zhang Huaibin was almost pissed off by him, he shouted: "Wen Rui!"

"You see, don't you recover very quickly? You can even quarrel with me. If you can keep your mood happy, I believe you will recover faster. Rehabilitate well, and you can recover in at most two years. By then You want us to serve you, but we don't care."

Zhang Huaibin fell silent.

Wen Rui continued: "You are not yet 60 years old, and there are still 20 years in the future. These two years are nothing to you. You have lived most of your life. You should understand these principles."

Zhang Huaibin muttered, "You can take care of me... It's dirty, smelly and tiring, and you'll complain and dislike me."

Wen Rui lowered his voice: "What's the difference between an old man and a child? Didn't you dislike them when you took care of Mr. Zhang and the others? Everyone will complain, how could they all live towards the sun?" He said and pointed to Jiang Yue Ting, "Sometimes I still want to beat him up and call him a bad boy in my heart."

Jiang Yueting: "..."

"But does that mean I don't love him? Don't you ever dislike your children and love them for many years? No, no one can do that. But that unpleasant feeling It will pass soon, you still love them, don't you? After all, that kind of love has penetrated into the blood, making people unable to give up."

"The only difference between children and you is that they don't have time to think about anything, but you think too much."

Zhang Huaibin laughed, his eyes were a little hot, and a tear slid down.

"Yes," he nodded, "you're right."

Wen Rui took out a tissue and wiped his tears for him, "Come back with us. Life is still the same as before. If you want to go out to play, we will take you out to play. If you don't want to play, you can go to work. You have to return your flowers and grass Take care of yourself."

He smiled and continued: "What is there to stay here? You don't know the old man and the old lady. You will recover quickly after you go back, and you can go to school and play Tai Chi with others in a while. Uncle Zhou on the street corner asked me last time, Are you going back or not, and you are still waiting to play chess with you, and he also said that although you are not very good at chess, you will play tricks, but playing chess with no one is boring."

Zhang Huaibin nodded, tears kept flowing, and after a while he began to whimper, crying like a child, with snot running out of his nose.

Wen Rui let him vent, and wiped his nose with a tissue when it was almost time. He teased the old man: "Wow, you are so rude to say that you are like a child. Jiang Yueting didn't cry and snot at the age of ten."

Zhang Huaibin stared at him when he heard the words, his eyes were full of anger, and he said vaguely: "You are right, it is impossible not to despise your own child, I am very annoying you right now."

Wen Rui: "You don't like it, I have a thick skin. Well, it's noisy, you must be tired, we'll change your things for you, and you go to rest."

Zhang Huaibin still hesitated when he heard the words, "Let Xiao Xiao come over."

"It's okay. I don't think I'll be relieved to find a nurse in the future. I'll just take care of you. Practice your hands now." Wen Rui asked Jiang Yueting to go to the bathroom to prepare towels and water first, "You've been cruel to others just now, and it's not easy being a child , when the time comes, you will apologize to others."

Zhang Huaibin snorted, "Xiao Xiao is 25, much older than you, and you still have a child... I will apologize when the time comes." The latter sentence was very soft.

"Then let's go to the bathroom." Wen Rui pushed him into the bathroom.

Jiang Yueting watched them come in and said, "The water temperature is just right, let's use the shower, it's more convenient."

"Row."

When Wen Rui was changing diapers with the old man, seeing Zhang Huaibin always staring at him, he couldn't help but said, "You said you are looking for trouble? If you are really afraid that people will dislike you, you close your eyes and don't look at his expression. If he really despises you, it can be shown in any way. There is no need to break up with him at this time. Besides, sometimes the smell is bad, and you can't bear it yourself. It was so uncomfortable for a long time."

Zhang Huaibin twitched the corner of his mouth, indeed, he was asking for trouble.

Once when the little grandson came to visit him, he smelled the stench in the house, looked at what he had replaced, arched his nose in disgust, and asked, "Grandpa, do you still use diapers?"

It was an unintentional statement, but his nerves were too sensitive, so he could only suppress his emotions and say with a smile: "That's right, grandpa, no, there's no way."

The little grandson muttered half understandingly: "Children only use this, why does grandpa use this?"

Every word hit his heart, and he even complained that his beloved grandson would hurt his heart so much.

But the child forgot when he finished speaking, and leaned close to him to chat softly with him. At that moment, he felt that he was extraordinarily ugly, and he would actually care about the child.

Wen Rui moved swiftly, and he changed his things and put on his clothes in a short while. He washed his hands and carried the old man out to the bed.

"Come on, sleep."

Zhang Huaibin looked at the other party's fair and clean face, and the haze of the past few months was swept away. He closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

This was the fastest time for him to fall asleep in such a long time. There was no random thoughts, only endless peace of mind.

Seeing that he was asleep, Wen Rui shook his arms and whispered, "Your grandpa doesn't look fat, but he is heavy."

Jiang Yueting asked him to rest on the sofa next to him. It was a single sofa, and it was very crowded when two people sat side by side, so they could only sit on top of each other.

Jiang Yueting looked at Wen Rui in his arms, and pinched his arm for him. After pinching for a while, he suddenly asked, "You still scolded me in your heart?"

"...Grandpa is sleeping, don't disturb him."

The old man slept until two o'clock in the afternoon.

The nurse was worried that Wen Rui might not be able to handle it, but he didn't expect the old man's attitude to change drastically, and even said "I'm sorry just now" to him.

It turned out that the old man couldn't control his temper and was more violent than him. Afterwards, the old man would feel very guilty, but the three "sorry" still couldn't be said.

Xiao Xiao not only sighed in his heart that Mr. Wen is really amazing.

After eight o'clock in the night, Zhang Yiqiu came over, and she saw Wen Rui showing a smile: "Xiao Wen is here."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wen Rui said that he wanted to go out for a walk with her.

Zhang Yiqiu looked at the old man in surprise, and she remembered what the old man had told her about the change of household registration.

Zhang Huaibin: "Go, go."

Zhang Yiqiu had no choice but to go out with Wen Rui. There were still many people in the garden downstairs. Wen Rui chatted with her while walking, and he told the other party what the nurse had given him.

Zhang Yiqiu's face was ugly: "Dad, he..."

"I talked with my grandfather, and the situation has improved after enlightenment, but I want to take him back to Huaicheng."

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, Zhang Yiqiu was so frightened that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, "What did you say?"

Wen Rui said word by word: "I want to take grandpa back to Huaicheng."

Zhang Yiqiu followed the street lamp and looked at the young man's face. She shook her head: "I disagree. The young man is too impulsive and never thinks about the consequences. Do you know how hard it is to take care of my dad? You may be very considerate today, two In a week? Two months? Can you guarantee that you won't get bored with my dad? To put it bluntly, I just don't believe you. The sky in Huai City is high and the emperor is far away. If he is bullied, I can't rush there immediately " She paused and combed her hair back wearily, "I'm sorry, it's been a busy day, I'm really tired, and my speech is a bit straight."

Wen Rui shook his head. He didn't mind. It's human nature for Ms. Zhang to worry.

"Xiao Wen, do you know? You are really not smart sometimes," Zhang Yiqiu mocked slightly, "Back when Dad said he wanted to give you the house, you actually asked us to leave a space for you and my dad to talk alone. Now you want to Change of household registration, you came to tell me again that you want to take Dad back to Huaicheng... Do you think I should believe you?" She looked at Wen Rui with scrutiny in her eyes.
