Chapter 28 The Old Man’s Wish

“Grandpa!” Liu Xinyi yelled behind Wu Hao. She immediately dropped what she was holding and gave the old man a hug.

“Hehe, Xinyi is back!” The old man was happily and very happy. First, he took a close look at his granddaughter, and then pulled Liu Xinyi into the house while shouting to the house, “Old lady, come out. Xinyi is back to see you!”

“Xinyi is back? Really Xinyi, I miss grandma…”

In the room, the grandparents and grandchildren were reuniting enthusiastically, but they left Wu Hao outside the door. The scene was a bit embarrassing. He could only encourage himself, put the things in the house, and then go back to get the one Liu Xinyi threw on the ground. One serving.

“…”

“This is my boyfriend Wu Hao!”

Liu Xinyi finally remembered that she had left an important person outside the door, and hurriedly went to help Wu Hao get things, and by the way introduced her future grandson-in-law to the two elderly people.

“Good grandpa, good grandma!”

Wu Hao put on a very sincere look, bowed to the two old men when he entered the door, and then picked out a few boxes of ginseng, velvet antler, donkey-hide gelatin, and cordyceps from the gift pile and sent them to the two elderly people.

“Make you so expensive…”

I still have to say polite words, but the grandson-in-law’s gifts are also to be received. This is a face issue, which shows that the young man attaches great importance to this meeting, and the two old people want this sincerity.

“Xinyi works outside, and it is rare to come back a few times a year. We usually don’t have time to accompany the two elders. Our filial piety is not enough. We have to buy something to make up for it. How can we say that it is expensive? That should be!”

The businessman’s glib tongue was fully revealed at this moment. Even Liu Xinyi complimented herself secretly when she heard this, and the two old men were even more happy.

“Xiao Wu, you are right! We really don’t need any gifts. We just want to see the granddaughter Xinyi. Her parents are busy at work and don’t usually spend much time at home. The house is always deserted.”

Grandpa said in his heart, the two elderly people were idle at home. Although they could move around during the day, they had very little communication with family members, especially the granddaughter who brought up her own hands to work in the field and wanted to meet her. Talking in person is not easy.

“Grandpa and grandma, don’t worry, I will urge Xinyi to call you often!”

“Xiao Wu is so sensible! Come on, Grandpa cut an apple for you.”

“…”

Wu Hao’s emotional intelligence is very high, so the two elderly people are very happy, and they get acquainted with each other as they chat. As dinner approached, Liu Xinyi and her grandma were busy in the kitchen, leaving Wu Hao and grandpa to chat in the living room.

“Nowadays, young people love to run to big cities. They don’t want to get married or have children. They love to raise dogs and cats. I really don’t know what they think.”

There is something in my grandfather’s words. I want to test Wu Hao’s attitude towards marriage and childbirth. He is a traditional person and hopes that his granddaughter can obtain happiness in marriage and family.

“This is actually not good. Although you make a lot of money and you have a rich and colorful life, you can’t stand the storm without the protection of a family. It’s fine when you are young, and you will face various problems when you get older.”

Wu Hao just talked about things. His previous life made him understand that no matter how rich you are, you can’t buy time, happiness, or family. Once something happens, what awaits you will only be an abyss.

“This is what an adult should think! It’s a pity that there are fewer and fewer sensible young people like you.”

“Young people in big cities are afraid of marriage. That’s because houses, education, and medical care are too expensive. Especially in a large city like Pengcheng, it should be better in fortification. I feel that it is quite livable. .”

“Similarly, young people in small cities ran toward the fortification, and young people in the fortification ran toward the coast. Everyone was so busy for houses, cars, and tickets. As a result, the children did not dare to give birth, and the elderly refused to raise them. I have Several friends are now forced to live alone. Their children are in coastal cities. No one is willing to take the elderly to take care of them. They would rather give more money than live together!”

China’s urbanization is based on the free flow of population. The newly-born mega-cities are constantly replenished with a steady stream of population. The scale of the city is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more new families moving in. In twenty years.

In today’s society, the old large family system has been broken and split into many loosely-connected small families. The older generation of elders in the family cannot adapt to this change and are internally resisting.

Wu Hao discovered the pain points of an era. How to maintain emotional communication with the older generation of elders is indeed a big problem.

In China’s traditional family concept, filial piety comes first. Many younger generations have a heart of filial piety, but in the form of expression, they cannot be recognized by their elders.

Modern society emphasizes material comfort and neglects spiritual comfort. In fact, the elderly don’t spend much on food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as there is enough food and enough money, they will not feel happy no matter how much money you give.

From the perspective of a large family, it is actually already torn apart. Children and grandchildren can’t see each other a few times a year, lack communication with each other, and are no different from strangers.

“Ring, Ring, Ring!” Grandpa’s phone rang, and he took out an elderly phone and fumbled for a long time before answering the call.

“Hey?”

“…”

“No wonder grandpa said that he can’t see his granddaughter at ordinary times, so he can’t make a video call with an elderly phone!”

Wu Hao thought about buying two good mobile phones for the two old people, so that Liu Xinyi would often make video calls to them, meet and chat.

After the conversation, Grandpa put away the phone and returned to his seat.

“Grandpa, let me buy a cell phone for you and grandma, so that Xinyi can make video calls to you. It’s great that you often meet and chat.”

“No, no, Xinyi’s father bought us two sets, that stuff is too complicated, it won’t work! It’s a waste of throwing them there, it’s a shame!”

Grandpa waved his hand again and again. He was old and his memory was not as good as before. He was already unable to do well with the ever-changing electronic products.

People in different eras have different tool mastery capabilities. Wu Hao found that he had overlooked this detail. He glanced around the hall and saw a 60-inch large TV on the TV cabinet, beside it. A sound system.

“If you use TV to chat with Xinyi, do you think it’s okay?”

“Of course it’s okay, our eyes are bad, the TV screen is big, it’s comfortable to watch!”

“Suppose you want to see Xinyi and chat with her. Just call her in advance and turn on the main power supply next to the TV to see Xinyi. Do you think this is convenient?”

“Convenient and convenient, we will still be able to turn on the power supply.”

“…”

Wu Hao quickly used his portable pad to record his grandpa’s needs.

The smart home interactive system has added a new function. With just one click, you can make video calls with the elderly at home on various display devices such as TVs, computer screens, and mobile phone screens.

……….

“Bang!” The door of the house was opened from the outside, and a burly man walked in. The first time he entered the door, he saw the gift on the ground. The man’s face was not happy, but a little more indifferent. As soon as the man turned his head, he saw the back of a strange young man.

“Hello Uncle!”

Hearing movement behind him, Wu Hao hurriedly stood up and yelled diligently.

“Oh, you are that Wu Hao…”

The old husband’s tone seemed a bit cold, Wu Hao’s heart chuckles, and he became nervous. He didn’t know if it was his bad performance that provokes the university professor…
