Chapter 571 Visit
The suffering in the world is happening right in front of our eyes, and since we can't help it, we naturally have to lend a hand.

However, while helping others, we must also protect ourselves. This will be good for both of us.

After knowing where Wang Cuihua lived, Zhang Lan arrived at the acupuncture center the next morning and set off with Yu Lingling.

I didn't plan to do anything when I went to Zhang Lan for the first time. The main purpose was to visit, see the living environment of the elderly, and see if there was anything I could do to help.

According to Wang Cuihua's address obtained from Huang Yuanxiang, Zhang Lan and Yu Lingling first arrived outside the alley where the courtyard house was located.

I bought a pure milk and a bucket of oil at the convenience store at the entrance of the alley. Zhang Lan carried the things and walked with Yu Lingling towards the place where Wang Cuihua lived.

After wandering around the alley, Zhang Lan finally found the place after asking about an old man sitting on the roadside basking in the sun.

Arriving outside the small house where Wang Cuihua was, Zhang Lan looked at the surrounding environment and said that it was an abandoned courtyard house. In fact, the environment was not bad.

Except for the house where the old lady lives, most of the other houses have collapsed.However, the old lady kept the yard neatly and opened a small vegetable plot in the middle of the yard, with two rows of green onions planted on it.

When Zhang Lan came in from outside the courtyard, the old lady was sitting on a stool in the courtyard picking up a handful of leeks.

Seeing Zhang Lan and Yu Lingling walking in, the old man greeted with a smile: "Doctor Zhang, why are you here?"

Yu Lingling next to her spoke first: "Grandma, let's see you."

After saying that, Yu Lingling raised the pure milk in her hand and gestured to Wang Cuihua with a smile.

Wang Cuihua stood up from the stool with her legs pressed, and was about to move a stool aside for Zhang Lan and the two of them to sit. When she saw it, Zhang Lan quickly said: "Let me come, let me come, you can sit here and rest."

After being polite, he sat down on the stool.Wang Cuihua said with a hint of exclamation: "Come just come, why are you still bringing things with you? I don't lack anything."

When Zhang Lan put the gift in his hand for Wang Cuihua in the house, he took a look at the environment where Wang Cuihua lived.A small house of about ten square meters should have been built by the previous residents of the courtyard. Wang Cuihua had kept it very clean.

In addition to a single bed, the room is equipped with a TV and air conditioner.After sitting on the stool and chatting, Wang Cuihua said that most of the things in the house were bought for her by community leaders.

The air conditioner and TV in the cabin were part-sold and part-gifted to her by a nearby resident who knew her situation.Installation is done by asking someone from the street to help.

It turned out that after Wang Cuihua was certified as an orphan, the street also said that it would not be a problem to let her live in a nursing home, and the cost and alimony would not be a problem.

However, Wang Cuihua refused. She went to a nursing home to see people taking care of her, but it was also much more inconvenient.

She usually doesn't have anyone to visit her, and she's almost the same age. At this time, living one more day counts as one more day, and if she really can't do it, she'll just do it, and don't go to a nursing home to suffer the pain.

Living in this large courtyard-like house is still my home no matter what.When Wang Cuihua said it was her home, her voice became much heavier.

Judging from each incident, Zhang Lan feels that the life of the elderly should not be like this.Judging from the old lady's current living environment, she is still a good person.

Then I thought again, this good life has nothing to do with whether the old lady is confused or not.Originally, Zhang Lan wanted to persuade the old lady, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to persuade her. I am over 80 years old and have been living alone for a while now. Although my health is not good, I can still take care of myself.

All the subsidies that should be provided by the street are also provided to the old lady. In terms of money, the old lady gets monthly alimony. It doesn’t cost much to treat the disease and take medicine for a month plus state subsidies.

What this old lady lacks most now is someone who comes to check on her from time to time. It would be better if she could chat for a while.As for the rest, it's nothing.

Compared with some lonely elderly people in the countryside, this old lady's life is already very good.

The most urgent problem facing the old lady now is the problem of seeking medical treatment from Zhang Lan yesterday.Her physical condition is a bit unsatisfactory now.

Zhang Lan just took a look at the old lady's cooking environment. Due to the size of the house, the old lady put a table and an induction cooker in the house for cooking.But what can I say, that is, for the elderly, their daily meals are mainly stew, so cooking in a small room is okay.

But how to put it, whether a person is in good health and whether he can eat is the most important indicator.Zhang Lan just entered the house and saw dust on the old lady's induction cooker.

After asking later, I found out that recently, due to walking problems, the old lady usually used a small rice cooker to make some egg custard for herself or used a wall breaker to cook some porridge for one meal.

Then there were no eggs some time ago. The old lady's legs were hurting so much that she didn't buy them. She planned to wait until she got better.

As her health continued to deteriorate, the old lady's meals became irregular, sometimes just one meal a day.

Later, when I went to buy medicine, it was really difficult to walk. When I walked to Zhang Lan and planned to take a rest, I saw the acupuncture sign hanging by Zhang Lan.

At that time, the old lady was also in a hurry and went to the doctor. She wanted to ask Zhang Lan to give her temporary acupuncture, even if it would be effective for a while.

After that, Zhang Lan knew the situation, and Zhang Lan also came to the conclusion while chatting with the old lady while guessing the situation.

Then Zhang Lan performed acupuncture on the old lady again. This time, Zhang Lan did not continue to use magic treatment on the old lady. She just used acupuncture.

In Zhang Lan's view, just keep the old lady's condition stable and under control, and then visit her every once in a while. There is no need to do much else.

As for using magic to heal the old lady, there is no need. She is so old and has no descendants around her, so she is a lonely old man.

It's enough to live a quiet life. As for the old lady's body, this kind of living environment and the lack of family members to accompany her, sometimes it's better to let her recover than to just maintain the status quo.

After giving the old lady some acupuncture, Zhang Lan also tidied up other places in the courtyard.Especially the old lady’s sink and the place where debris is stored.

Zhang Lan flattened the ground around the sink. It was already autumn, and the nights were getting colder day by day. The ground might start to freeze at some point. Zhang Lan put the place where the old lady often walked. They were all smoothed out by her.

On the other side, the place where the old lady kept the debris was a space left by the house that had collapsed before. The beams supported the wall. The old lady found a waterproof tarpaulin from somewhere to cover it. It seemed that she didn't know when. It will continue to collapse.
