After returning from leave from the bar, Li Jishu has been repairing steps in the yard. He wears a pair of black boots that don’t fit well, and his trousers are rolled up above his knees. All over the body, all dirty.

But he didn't have the money to hire someone to do it. It rained a few days ago and the steps were too slippery. The old lady accidentally fell and hurt her back, so she was sent directly to the hospital.He thought about asking for leave to go to the hospital to take care of him, and by the way, renovate all the steps in the house.

His house is an old-fashioned courtyard with two entrances, red tiles and gray walls, and the interior decoration is also simple and quiet.But this house is not worth much here, it's not middle-of-the-road, it's just an old house, and it might be eliminated at some point.

Moreover, the two owners of the house are no longer there, and the old and the young are left here, all as companions.

After finishing his work at home, he went to the hospital in the afternoon. The old lady has inconvenient legs and feet, and has a bad memory. She needs someone to take care of her at all times.

When the little nurse in the ward saw him coming, she first smiled, and then began to make a small report: "Brother Shu, the old lady has quarreled with someone again today, you should go and have a look."

The little nurse who spoke was named Liu Yun, and she took good care of the elderly on weekdays. Li Jishu didn't know what to say, so he quickly said thank you twice and walked inside.

When he entered, the old lady was screaming, Li Jishu hurriedly approached, and stretched out his hands to gently massage the old man's legs and feet.

"grandmother?"

He called out, and the old lady turned her head when she heard the movement: "Xiao Shu?"

Fortunately, I still recognize him.

The old lady suffers from Alzheimer's disease, that is, dementia. In the past two years, she has been a little ignorant of people. She doesn't know where to go when she goes out and comes back.

But Li Jishu has to work part-time on weekdays. The old man's medical expenses plus daily expenses are really not a small amount of money. He doesn't have so much time with others, so accidents always happen.

"Grandma, who did you quarrel with again?"

The old lady snorted, not very happy: "It's not noisy."

That's it.

Li Jishu sighed: "Grandma, you are not in good health yet, so stop bickering with others, don't you worry me like this?"

The old lady obviously doesn't listen to people's preaching, and the older she gets, the more eccentric her temper is, and she also said that she is not wrong, and she will do it next time she sees someone!

After finishing speaking, her lips trembled with anger, which made Li Jishu very worried. With such a temper, who would provoke her?

The old lady didn't say anything, he could only inquire about it from others, and after asking, he found out that the person next door was too talkative, wandering around in various wards when he had nothing to do, knowing that the old lady lost her son in her later years, and she specifically irritated people on this, What is it?

Li Jishu was very angry, but he couldn't find someone to argue with. He couldn't speak up to others. Besides, this is a hospital, not a place to quarrel.

I have no choice but to endure it.

The little nurse in the hospital couldn't stand it anymore, saying that your temper is too easy to bully, I couldn't stand it any longer!

She was really worried about him. After working in the hospital for so long, what kind of family members of patients had she never seen?The smoky atmosphere every day, either one or the other, as if their hospital owed money to someone!

It's a pity that she was almost burned out by the medical trouble at a young age.

Colleagues said that she had a mental disorder. There are still many good people in the world. Aren't most patients obedient? Who still messed with you?

The little nurse really didn't believe it. It wasn't until she got to know Li Jishu that she realized that there are such pure people in this world.

She defended him: "Just let others bully you, who will pity you?"

Li Jishu really felt nothing, he said: "I'm fine, if it's really not good, I'll transfer to another hospital."

The little nurse was emotional: "You said the same thing last time! Then the aunt has a brain problem, and she purposely picked a soft persimmon, and you still let her?"

Talking about his work, the owner of the bar called Li Jishu two days ago, saying that asking for leave too often would affect their normal business, and told him not to come.

When Li Jishu answered the phone, she was listening by the side. The man's pleading was useless. The boss was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, so he said, "I know you have difficulties, but we have to operate normally. You have been doing this for three days. Let’s ask for leave at both ends, what should we do? Besides, you are a student who graduated from a key university, so you should find a serious job..."

Li Jishu listened silently, his shoulders suddenly collapsed.

When he just graduated from university, because of his outstanding performance, many companies were vying for him, especially some large state-owned companies, which offered good remuneration, which he had always wanted, but in the end he chose a private company with high pressure, just because of the salary. high.

At that time, he was in a hurry to spend money, and many things could not be done according to his own ideas. He went to work during the day, and had to take care of the elderly when he went home. Even so, he was picked on by the leader and coldly regarded by his colleagues. He was fired after persisting for a year.

Being dismissed by the company was really a big blow to those who had just graduated at that time. Li Jishu even secretly got drunk because of it.

It's just that he faced the same situation after three years, but he just remained silent.

But fortunately the situation is not that bad now, he comforted the excited little nurse and said, "I have found a job."

The little nurse was surprised and asked who introduced it.

Li Jishu smiled and said that it was a Mr. Feng.

Since the car accident four years ago, Li Jishu moved to the town to be with the old lady. At first, his uncle and aunt came to visit together, shed a few tears, and said that he would come to them if he had any difficulties in the future. Afraid to speak.

But after all, they are all ordinary people, and it is not easy to pay such two dollars. Li Jishu can't ask for anything more.After the first three years, relatives and friends gradually stopped seeing each other, and only his two uncles visited the old lady twice during the Chinese New Year, and left some living expenses for him.

Even though he is an adult, Li Jishu experienced the hardships of life earlier than his peers. Sometimes he really felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and the feeling of isolation and helplessness made him cry late at night.

How he wished someone would stand up and help him.

Maybe because he heard his wish, a gentleman surnamed Feng came to him not long after.

The first time he opened the door, he looked familiar. It wasn't until the other party finished introducing himself that he suddenly remembered that this was the son of his cousin's family. He lived with him for a while during the Chinese New Year when he was young.

After not seeing him for so many years, he almost didn't recognize him!

He happily called his cousin, and the other party looked at him and said, "Long time no see, please let me go in and have a seat?"

We haven't seen each other for many years, so it would be a lie to say that there is no unfamiliarity, but the relationship from childhood is still there, and we became acquainted after chatting a few words.

After Feng Shaoheng went in, he didn't see the old lady, so he asked why she wasn't at home?

When Li Jishu faltered about the old lady's admission to the hospital, Feng Shaoheng's expression darkened a little, and he said, "I was abroad a few years ago, and your parents had an accident and didn't come back, please don't blame us. "

Li Jishu raised his head and said, "I know cousin, it's not easy for you."

At that time, they didn't have much contact with each other, and the original contact information was changed, so how could they get back.

"By the way, cousin, is cousin better?" Li Jishu suddenly remembered and asked.

"I've had surgery and I'm recovering." After speaking, he laughed again, "Don't worry about us, I heard that your work is not going well recently, have you figured out what to do next?"

Li Jishu was surprised at first, then embarrassed: "Cousin, why do you know everything?"

"Of course, who am I?" Feng Shaoheng smiled, and then suggested: "If you don't have any plans, you can come to my place first. The crew happens to have an empty role. I think you are very suitable."

"But I have no acting experience."

"Acting skills are developed slowly. The important thing is that they are just short of people." After speaking, he was afraid that people would be pressured, so he relaxed his tone, "I can't help it. The previous actor was in a car accident and was hospitalized. The crew has been dragging it out. Just take it as a favor for me and try it for a few days, if you really don’t feel comfortable with it, you can just refuse.”

Having said that, he had already given enough leeway, Li Jishu nodded after hesitation. Although he knew nothing about acting, he had no other choice.
