The Last Wish Company in the Residences)
Huaxia, Fenglan City, an alley in the urban village.
An old man in his sixties was wearing cotton clothes. He held an exquisite walking stick in his hand as he staggered forward.
* Cough cough cough *
Every few steps, the old man would stop and cough.
Then, the old man would stand up and look at the dilapidated buildings around him with nostalgia.
Sigh--
A sigh came from the old man's mouth. In addition to the worry on the old man's face, the helpless smile on his lips, and the regret and unwillingness in his eyes, his back was extremely lonely.
He felt like a hero in his twilight years.
But the old man was not a hero.
In fact, looking back on his life, he did not even have a heroic deed, not even a thing to be proud of.
He was just an ordinary person, a person who had disappeared from the world. He could not be more ordinary.
" I'm getting old, and I'm getting sentimental. I'm about to step into my coffin, but I'm still unwilling to accept this…" The old man shook his head and laughed bitterly.
"Old Master Zhao, why did you come out by yourself?”
At this moment.
Two middle-aged women passed by with a vegetable basin in their hands. They were surprised to see the old man appear alone.
Old Zhao forced a smile." The weather is good today. I came out for a stroll."”
As he spoke, Old Man Zhao leaned on his walking stick and continued to move forward step by step.
After Old Man Zhao left.
One of the women looked at the gloomy sky and asked,"Why don't you think this old man Zhao's children came out with him? How could he let Old Man Zhao come out on his own?”
Another woman said regretfully," Sigh, that pair of children of his, they just feel that his father is useless and didn't leave anything for them. This Old Man Zhao is about to…about to die. He definitely won't care if he can.”
The woman sighed." That's true, but you can't blame Old Zhao for this. Who doesn't want to be rich? It's all because of their bad luck."”
"If my two children treat me like this in the future, I'll break their legs!”
The other woman rolled her eyes.”
"Alright, hurry up and go home to cook. My little brat is about to cry out from hunger again.”
As they spoke, the two women left.
Old Man Zhao, who was not far from the two of them, slowly turned his head around. The feeling of loneliness intensified.
As someone who was about to die, he was sensitive to begin with. When he heard this, Old Man Zhao could not stand it anymore.
The past was still vivid in his mind, and tears seemed to be swirling in his eyes.
When he was young, he retired from the army and became a factory worker. At that time, it was a decent job. After that, he got married according to the rules and their relationship was very loving.
However, who would have thought that his wife would suffer from dystocia and massive bleeding when giving birth?
He left behind a pair of twins and a lonely and lonely himself.
After that, when the wave of layoffs came, he was forced to leave his post and received a small compensation.
The few comrades who had retired with him took this opportunity to go into business and use their connections to enter the system.
On the other hand, he was timid. In addition, he had a pair of twins at home who were waiting to be fed.
Old Man Zhao did not have the courage to go into business like his other comrades. He did not dare to gamble, nor did he have any relationship with his other comrades. In addition, he was a stubborn person who did not want to trouble others or accept anyone's help. In the end, he could only choose a safe way to work to support his family.
In the blink of an eye, decades passed by.
Some of his friends and old brothers were high officials in the system, while others were extremely wealthy.
Those old brothers who had not been in contact with each other for a long time had all made a name for themselves. They were even compared to him by his own children and grandchildren.
On the other hand, he had been curled up in this tube-shaped apartment for his entire life and had never changed places.
It was not easy for him to raise his son and daughter, but his body collapsed. He had terminal lung cancer.
At that time, Old Zhao, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw the hesitation in his son and daughter's eyes. He waved at the doctor and went home to wait for death.
He had been mediocre in his life. He had not earned a lot of money, and the small amount was not enough for his daily consumption. He had saved up for many years to marry his son and give his daughter a dowry.
Now, he only had a little money left. Even the house under his name was given to his son as his wedding house.
He could be considered to be living under someone else's roof now, even though that was his son and daughter-in-law.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to fork out money to treat the patient. His comrades wanted to sponsor him, but they were all rejected by Old Man Zhao.
Moreover, as an old man, an old man who was about to die.
His son and daughter-in-law did not like him, and his daughter rarely came back to visit.
I've been sick for a long time, and there's no filial son in front of my bed.
He didn't know about the saying that having an elder in a family was like having a treasure, but it was impossible for Old Man Zhao to do so.
Even the exquisite walking stick in his hand was given to him by a wealthy businessman, but what use was it?
Old Zhao did not blame his son, his daughter, or anyone else.
However, he just felt that he had lived a sullen life. He had lived a very sullen life.
On what basis could others be rich and noble, while others could live a happy life?
As for his own life, looking back on the past, he did not even have a single thing to be proud of.
Was this fate?
But why did the heavens give him such a bitter life?
Could it be that he did not deserve to live someone else's life?
He was unwilling, he was extremely unwilling!
The veins on Old Man Zhao's hand that was holding the crutch bulged and trembled slightly, but in the end, he let go.
So what if he was unwilling…
What else could a dying person do? What else could he change?
There was nothing he could do, nothing he could change. The only thing he could do was wait for death. That was all.
He looked sideways at the big yellow dog that was sleeping soundly on the ground.
? Old Zhao laughed at himself." You're the best. You don't have to think so much. As long as you have something to eat…Cough cough cough…"
He continued to move forward.
Unknowingly, Old Man Zhao walked to the end of the alley.
In front of him was a long alley. At the end of the alley was a tall wall that blocked Old Man Zhao's path.
"How did I end up here…I'm getting old, getting muddle-headed…Cough, cough, cough.”
Old Man Zhao was about to walk back.
A small advertisement on the wall attracted Old Man Zhao's attention.
Looking back on your life, do you have any unfinished business? Do you have any regrets? Have you ever regretted something day and night?
