15. Floating clouds and idle things

~

After the interview, the reporter went to the shopping mall to check, and happened to meet a few old people. They were still talking about the old man being beaten. This incident indeed had a big impact on the elderly and had a bad impact on society. So he stepped forward and asked:"Uncle and aunt, I am a reporter and I am going to report in depth about the old man's beating this morning. Were you there at the time?""

"Yes, we are all here"

"Saw the whole thing, going crazy"

"But no, it was too scary to see it with my own eyes."

The old man and lady said angrily, and the reporter continued to ask:"Uncle and aunt, what happened?"

An old man among them said:"At that time, a few of us were exercising in the shopping mall. We often saw the old man who was beaten. He was not in good health and did not walk with us. He often sat in that position to rest.……"

As the old man pointed to the seat, the old lady couldn't wait to speak:"The old man was pushed to the ground. The girl wanted to leave but didn't. Then another girl scolded him. They were together. Then his boyfriend came. He will be beaten very hard. He must be caught so that us old people can rest assured."

Another old lady added:"They are terrible. Such people destroy our social harmony. We must catch them both as soon as possible. No, three brought to justice"

……

The old people became more and more excited as they talked, and the reporter continued to ask:"There are three of them, two women and one man, how do you know whose boyfriend is it?"

"It turned out that the young man was the boyfriend of the girl in the pink skirt. He was very concerned about the girl in the pink skirt, otherwise who would be like this." said the old lady

"That is, in the end, the guy dragged the girl into a clothing store. Judging from their behavior, they must be boyfriend and girlfriend."The old man said

"We were also young, obviously a young couple, and my son was like that when he was in love."Another old lady said

"Walking hand in hand, they must be a young couple."The third old lady

"What are the features of that young man?"The reporter asked

"The guy is so tall, a head taller than me."The old man gestured

"Short hair, looks fierce."old lady

"Yes, the face is ferocious."Another old lady

"A bad look on his face is not a good thing at first glance."The third old lady

"Isn't he wearing a mask?"reporter

"Wear a mask."old lady

"You will not be allowed to enter the mall without wearing a mask."Another old lady

"They were all wearing masks, except the old man."The third old lady.

The reporter had to ask something else:"Many young people nowadays lack respect for the elderly. What do you think?

The old lady became excited again:"Today's young people generally don't respect the elderly. Even my daughter-in-law doesn't respect me as a mother-in-law. She doesn't do any housework and spends all day playing online shopping on her mobile phone. I take care of my granddaughter. Now she goes to school." No need to bring it anymore, it started to look at me every day. Another old lady also said:"

You are all good. My daughter-in-law was married from outside. She was quite obedient at first. But after she gave birth to her grandson, she became more troubled. Now she has a bad temper. What's wrong with her son?" We all obeyed her. Later, our son asked us to live back in our old house, and then she brought her parents in. We paid for their house, but now we are evicted."

The third old lady also complained:"Compared to my family, your family is considered good. When they got married, they bought a house with our demolition money. Three months after they got married, the daughter-in-law started to make trouble. She made trouble every day. We got divorced in 2012 and took away half of the house. It’s our fault that we didn’t pay attention at first. Since then, our son has not wanted to look for us anymore. Now he stays at home every day. He’s already getting older. I’m really pissed off."

"Hey, my son doesn't come back a few times a year. We haven't had a reunion together on New Year's Eve since we got married. They didn't come until the second or third day of the second year of junior high school. We have become our parents' family. Sometimes we don't even come to the second year of junior high school. Forget it, my wife was hospitalized the year before last, but they ignored her. Within a few months, my son and daughter-in-law bought some fruit and showed it around. Now that my wife is gone, I see my son even less. Hey! Having a son is worse than not having a son, what's the use?"The old man also sighed

……

The first old lady sighed:"My son is really not as good as my daughter.""

"I am also a child, I should have had another child"

"The son is useless, but fortunately he still has a daughter."The third old lady

"It’s time to have more children, even if I lose my job. At that time, many of our children were in poor condition, but they were all very good to their parents. Brothers and sisters would correct each other if they were not good to their parents. Even if one was not good, there would be others. Now there is only one, and we can only let him do whatever he wants. He has no choice at all."The first old lady said again

"Yes, there were many brothers and sisters at that time, and they knew how to be caring and tolerant. Now children don’t understand these things.……"
