Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"Dad, I really don't know what to say to you. There's really no need to stew these few bowls of soup for you separately.

Every time I make soup, it’s not for the whole family to drink. If I were to make soup just for you, that would be a lot of trouble.

Besides, even if I make soup this month, it is only two or three times at most. I don’t make soup every day, so don’t complain about me.

I know there is not much oil or salt in it, so please give me some face and drink it!"

"You think I don't want to drink?

But in a month, I not only have to drink the soup you stew, but also the soup stewed by the third brother. Not to mention a lot in total, I have to drink it every few days. After so many times, no matter how delicious the soup is, there will be a day when you get tired of it. Can't you discuss it?

Fortunately, your eldest brother has not been transferred back to work, otherwise, I would have to drink soup every day, right? "

"Dad, it's good enough that you have something to drink. How great is it that someone makes soup for you?

If you really don't want to drink it, I won't stew it later, right?"

"No, no, just stew it!

Even if I don't drink it, I have to give it to your mother. No matter what, this soup is the most nutritious.

Also, don't look back, people will think your mom and I are eating steamed buns with pickles at home all day long?"

"No, Dad, what do you mean?"

"what for?

Isn’t it that someone in the community is saying that someone’s children are busy and can’t take care of the elderly, so they hire a nanny for the elderly. Which one does she eat better?

In fact, it’s not like that at all. You don’t know, one time when your mother and I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

I happened to meet the nanny of that family. Apart from buying a bunch of vegetables and tofu, she didn't buy anything else.

It’s good for me there. I can drink some broth from time to time. Even if there is not much meat, it is still meat.

It's better to pair the greens with pickles than tofu. "

"That's for his own good. To be honest, people your age should eat less meat. It's bad for your health."

"Tsk, do you think I don't know?

If you don’t want him to eat meat, just tell him directly. What’s more, saying it’s good for his health is bullshit.

If it's really for his own good, then eat as much meat as you can. As long as your body can handle it, then there's no problem at all.

If he really can't bear it, he may not be willing to eat it even if you ask him to."

"Yes, so it seems that your body is better than others!"

"That's right, do I need to tell you that?"

"I really don't need to tell you."

It really goes without saying that the children are better than their peers in terms of eating and other aspects.

Ultimately, it all comes down to when and what matters most is not making yourself suffer.

People who work hard for their children will have some problems when they get older.

If I hadn't had the space, determination and ability back then, I'm afraid my body wouldn't be as good as it is now.

This shouldn't be heard by other people, as your spouse says.

"its me?

Don’t look at me because I’m thin. To be honest, for dinner tonight, I won’t say much. A small bowl of dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions is no problem at all.”

"Old Guo, are you kidding?"

"That's right. It's okay during the day, at least we can still move around. Can your stomach handle eating like this at night?"

"Why can't you bear it? Finish dinner on time before 7 o'clock, move around outside after dinner, wash up after returning home, and it will be at least 10 o'clock. Can't you digest it even with this?

Or, do you just finish eating here and then lie down to sleep there?

If that were the case, even the best stomach wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

"That's not the case. Even if we really want to sleep, we have to be able to sleep."

"That's right, so, Old Guo, are you in good health?"

"That's right. Even though I'm already in my seventies or eighties, apart from this leg, I have no other problems at all."

"I really envy you for having such a good body. For us, we all have to take a lot of medicine every meal."

"Really? You can't not take medicine?

When it comes to not taking medicine, it’s always high here or there, and it’s hard to eat the stewed food happily.”

"You just don't exercise enough. Why don't you exercise more?"

"Do you think we don't know this?"

"That is, not everyone is suitable for exercise, and not everyone is like you."

“That’s true. We have been exercising regularly, but our bodies are not as good as they used to be.

If I didn’t have some pension, I’m afraid the medicine I take every day wouldn’t be enough to solve the problem.”

"Look at what you are saying. Everyone knows that your son is a man of great achievements. Does he really need your money for medicine?"

"Of course, who doesn't know that your son is the most filial person?"

"That's right, don't let your son hear you saying this, otherwise he will be very sad."

"No matter how filial you are, you don't have the time to accompany me. You are worse than Old Guo's children."

"That's true, Old Guo, you two are finally enjoying a good life."

"That's right, my son and daughter are really nothing to say.

Look, my son has brought me the soup again. I don’t want to chat with you anymore. I have to go home, or the soup will get cold.”

"Tell me about you, you live in the same neighborhood as your child, why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

"That's right. You're eating separately from the children. Isn't that troublesome?"

"What do you know?"

"That's right. Old Guo is used to being alone with his wife. Also, although their children have an easy job, it's still better to eat comfortably at home."

“Yes, I heard that their grandchildren are also getting married. Young people nowadays are under a lot of work pressure.

Sometimes we may not be able to get up in the morning, and if there are too many people eating together, it will always affect the rest of the young people. It is better to be like the couple."

"That's true. It's a pity that we don't have the same conditions as them, otherwise, we wouldn't have to live together with our children."

"Yes, I really envy them."

"Who says it's not?"

Listen, this is what my children often tell me. Sometimes I feel embarrassed when I hear them say this.

After all, only his family knows the real situation, and it is not as good as he said.

However, in this situation, neither he nor his children would expose his mistake in front of outsiders.

Just say it to him when there's no one else around or when you're at home.

"You are really amazing, you know what their situations are like, but you still try to feel superior to them, is it that serious?
