I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

Aunt Pan’s niece Xiaomei looked at the ripped jeans she had “run away from home” with and fell into deep thought.

The ripped jeans are now in Aunt Pan's hands.

Jing Xinran was puzzled: "Auntie Pan, the original design of these pants is like this, they are not torn."

Aunt Pan paused while threading the needle. "Will your knees not get cold if you put this on?"

"Auntie, this isn't something you wear in winter. It's fashionable for young people to match this way." Jing Xinran showed Auntie Pan some pictures of ripped jeans paired with clothes.

Aunt Pan felt a little disappointed. She thought that since the child's pants were torn, her embroidery skills would come in handy, but it turned out that she had misunderstood.

"It's okay if it's not torn." Auntie Pan carefully put the pants away, smoothed out the wrinkles, and asked Jing Xinran: "Teacher Jing, how long will it take us to go to the capital for the competition?"

"My niece is looking for a job recently and is under a lot of pressure. I want to keep someone at home."

Aunt Pan knew that Xiaomei had always wanted to become independent as soon as possible and earn money to support her in her old age, but it was not easy to find a job nowadays. She had seen Xiaomei wiping tears alone several times, and she could not help the child either.

Jing Xinran thought for a moment and replied, "It won't be long. I'll be gone for two days and stay one night before coming back."

……

In the evening, Aunt Pan quietly put Xiaomei's ripped jeans back, and happened to run into Xiaomei who had just returned.

Xiaomei is looking for a job recently and is temporarily living at her aunt, Aunt Pan's house.

Xiaomei was raised by Aunt Pan, and her family situation is rather complicated.

Xiaomei's parents disliked each other and divorced when she was 3 years old. They each started their own families.

Xiaomei was transferred between the two families. Her parents were unwilling to pay for her kindergarten, thinking that the other party would pay more than they did. The three-year-old child couldn't even take care of herself, and had to make a living carefully in her parents' new homes.

Finally, Aunt Pan, who went back to her hometown for the New Year, couldn't stand it anymore, so she gave the child money and stated that the money was for the child's schooling. As soon as Aunt Pan left, the money was divided by Xiaomei's parents.

After taking the money, they also wanted to get rid of "Xiaomei", the trouble that stood in their way to a new life.

So he sent the child to Aunt Pan's house in the middle of winter and turned around and left.

After settling the child who had frozen into a "snowman", Aunt Pan rushed back to her hometown, pointed at their noses and scolded them for being unworthy of being parents, and took a stick to demand money for Xiaomei's schooling.

Xiaomei spent her childhood at Aunt Pan's house. To her, Aunt Pan was her real mother.

When Xiaomei grew up, she was very concerned about Aunt Pan's life at the senior citizens' university.

After Aunt Pan's son got married, he moved out. Her daughter-in-law and granddaughter only came back during the holidays. Xiaomei's arrival made Aunt Pan no longer lonely.

She accompanied Aunt Pan to report, was in the live broadcast room on time when Aunt Pan took her first intangible cultural heritage class, and bought materials for Aunt Pan to support her in learning embroidery.

Xiaomei has been very busy at work recently, and when she comes home she only reports good news and not bad news.

"Aunt, how was your day at school today?" Xiaomei chatted with Aunt Pan as if nothing had happened, and the topic turned from school to trivial matters at home.

"Your father is an old man. He wants a second child at his age." Aunt Pan cursed.

Xiaomei was stunned, not knowing whether she should say: "He told me that he gave birth to twins, and he said that as their elder sister, I should give the children a red envelope as a gift."

Aunt Pan's expression changed instantly and she said angrily, "How shameless! You just graduated and don't have a job yet, how can you give him money?"

"I didn't give it to him. If I had given it to him, my mom would probably say I was biased and only gave it to them and not Xiaodong."

Xiaodong is the child born to Xiaomei’s mother’s second marriage, and is only two years younger than Xiaomei.

Aunt Pan was not in a good mood when she mentioned this sister, "You did the right thing, they can't give it to anyone."

"Let's not talk about them. Auntie, there's a hole in my clothes pocket. Can you fix it for me?" Xiaomei smiled and put the ripped jeans inside, then took out the clothes and gave them to Aunt Pan.

She knew what Aunt Pan was thinking and had been thinking about how to praise her for a while.

Aunt Pan smiled happily and said, "Just wait, I learned embroidery in school, I will show you my skills."

The relationship between them is not one of giving and asking like that of Xiaomei's parents, but one of mutual companionship.

Both wandering young people and empty-nest elderly people are worried that the other party is not living well, so secretly giving each other money is a common occurrence.

Aunt Pan embroidered a few small flowers in Xiaomei's torn pocket as she wished, adding color to Xiaomei's world.

……

On the other side, in the school, a story about flowers was also happening.

When the planting class just started last year, I took the uncles and aunts to a practical class. We weeded and planted flowers in the small garden in front of the teaching building. There was even an embarrassing incident where Uncle Wang "called flowers weeds" and "took grass as vegetables".

The flowers have been planted for nearly half a year, and the daffodils are growing quite wildly, growing in patches along the path.

It is the flower season now, and the white petals wrap around the tender core of the flower, which is delicate and gorgeous.

In addition to daffodils, there are also roses, tulips, lilies, orchids, and larger ones such as peach blossoms and cherry blossoms.

This grove is a great place to go in spring, with colorful flowers everywhere.

As the person who dug the most holes when planting flowers, Uncle Wang was very concerned about the growth of the flowers. Recently, he keenly discovered that many flowers were picked by people, which is a big deal.

There is a "flower thief" in the school!
