Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Yes, it is true that we left with our parents at that time, but in that situation, what more could we say?

Having said that, over the years, since Big Brother found you, I have tried my best to make up for what happened in the past.

It's just that in this kind of thing, there is no harm without comparison.

"With your ninth sister here to compare her words, what can Gu Jialan count for?"

“No, Fourth Sister, there is no need to do this, and there is no need to be angry about what happened before.

Now that Gu Jialan is like this, just let it go!

As for her children, to be honest, they are already in their 30s and 40s, not children anymore, so why should she care so much about them?"

"That's right, that's what I meant.

By the way, ninth sister, are you really not planning to go and see your seventh sister?

I heard from people in the nursing home that the people she talks about the most every day are not her sons or the mother who passed away for her.

But it's you, don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?

Not only are we of similar age, even though we couldn't play together when we were kids, we would still play together whenever we had nothing to do.

Although this kind of prank is different from the pranks we have with other people, but in the final analysis, it is always a form of companionship at that time.

She often mentions me now, probably because she is thinking of my childhood self.

As for me now, I don’t have much contact with her.

And now she has Alzheimer's disease, just like a child who only remembers things from her childhood.

As for me, to be honest, I really don't plan to have too much contact with her.

You also know about my mother. Even though she was very young at that time, she is still a matter in my heart.

I can't pretend that what happened before never happened just because she is like this now. That would not only be deceiving the other person, but also deceiving myself.

As a child, I failed to show filial piety to my mother. There is nothing I can do about it. I don’t want to have any other explanation on this matter.”

"That's right. Then don't go. She may not recognize you even if you go."

"Who says it's not?

I just didn’t expect that she would get this disease.”

“Anyway, this disease is difficult to cure abroad, let alone in China now.

In fact, it all comes down to the fact that she was careless and had a bad temper before. If she had been calmer, she wouldn't be like this now."

"It's really possible."

"It's possible that you don't know. Just know one thing. Don't stay at home if you have nothing to do. Go out more often and exercise more. The thing that elderly people fear most is staying in one place without moving."

"Look at what you are saying, Fourth Sister. I like to be alone, but not every day.

Don’t you go out to exercise with my husband every day?

Another thing is, after a long time, you can come and stay here for a while, or go to other places to have a look.

Although you are not like my other brothers and sisters, I will not take my body lightly.

Besides, you know that I have been practicing martial arts with my elder brothers since I was a child.

I can’t say about other times in these years, but since I retired, I haven’t fallen behind. To be honest, I rarely get sick throughout the year, not even the most common cold.”

"is it?"

"That's right. If you don't believe me, ask my husband. He is just like me, and you don't even know it!

Because of this, our family ate better than others even when things were most difficult, and the three children in our family also started learning from a young age.

So much so that even now, my grandchildren, and even my two great-granddaughters, are learning it as well.

Even though they didn’t do well in school, some of the children were healthier than the other children.”

"is it?"

"Yes, didn't you teach your children this?"

"I learned it, but it's not our country's traditional Kung Fu, it's some Taekwondo, I don't know if it will work?"

"It doesn't matter what you learn as long as it's good for your health, isn't that enough?"

"Yes, the most important thing is that the children themselves like it, otherwise all the efforts will be in vain."

"That's absolutely true."

As the conversation went on, they moved on to talking about Gu Jialan and the younger generations of each family. When people get together to a certain age, the thing they talk about the most is their children.

As for Gu Jialan, only a few words were mentioned and nothing more was said about the rest.

It's just that no matter how much you say, no one cares whether she lives or dies.

After she separated from her fourth sister, no one came to her house to talk about her anymore.

Instead, we focus our attention on other things, such as growing flowers and vegetables?

Even so, the flowers were not grown for many years before the place where they lived was finally demolished. Although the demolition compensation was not small, it was not as sky-high as people often said in later generations.

But even so, those who received the demolition compensation are still talking about it.

"Finally it's been demolished. It's been so many years. I thought there would be no demolition here.

Do you think you'll live here forever?"

"Don't mention you, who among us doesn't think so?"

“That’s right. Many people, for the sake of their children, would empty their family savings to buy a small house in the suburbs, and they didn’t even pay the full amount. I heard that many people are taking out loans to buy houses now?

Fortunately, I didn't rush to buy it, because our area was being demolished.

Fortunately, our family is small, so asking for a house is better than asking for relocation compensation, so we don’t have to worry about where to live in the future.”

"That's your family, don't you look at other people, especially those families with large populations, who are fighting over a small amount of demolition compensation or a divided house?

Not to mention that they make trouble every day, but they make trouble every few days. It's really unbearable to have peace all day long.

Ugh!

But to be honest, I can understand them, after all, it’s not easy for everyone.”

"Who says it's not?

I just wonder if we old neighbors can still live together after we move away?"

"Isn't that easy to say?"

"yes?

If you choose a house, you don’t have to worry about this problem at all. But if you choose the relocation compensation, you don’t know where to live in the future?

Isn’t it easy to meet you old neighbors again? "

"Who says it's not?

We have lived together for decades, and it is hard to let go of us all of a sudden.”

"That's right, but then again, all good things must come to an end, so let's not be so pretentious here.

Anyway, we are all in Beijing, so it is easy to meet if we really want to."

"Isn't it?

Now every household has a telephone, so if you want to meet someone, you can just call and make an appointment in advance.
