Chapter 524 Several Stories
"Come on, let's go inside and take a look!"
When He Daqing heard this, he immediately became interested and turned to the old men who were playing chess not far away and said,
"Here are the latest videotapes, would you like to see them?"
"video tape?"
Yan Bugui and his companions who were sitting on the ground playing chess suddenly became excited.
They still like new things.
This is also the reason why they are willing to stay in the nursing home, because there is a special TV and a videotape machine in one room, and the nursing home can play different videotapes for them every day.
Well, these videotapes were naturally bought when Xu Huizhen opened the video hall. They are just there anyway, so why not take them out and add to the leisure activities of the elderly.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Yan Bugui stood up and was the first to walk towards the video room.
At this time, He Daqing had already pulled Huang He in, inserted the videotape, and then turned on the TV.
After some operations, the recording began.
"Old man, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhou Mei."
"How old are you?"
"Eighty-one!"
"What about your children..."
The background of the video is a rural area in the north. Huang He is holding a microphone and interviewing a hunchbacked old lady.
The old lady was sitting on the street basking in the sun just like everyone else. Everything seemed so natural and real.
But it was such a daily routine that directly attracted the attention of Yan Bugui and others.
Everyone loves gossip and likes to inquire about the big and small things in other people's families, especially the love stories of young people.
After watching for about half an hour, Yan Bugui and his companions finally understood what was said.
This old lady named Zhou Mei had seven daughters and one son when she was young.
That’s right, favoring sons over daughters is particularly common in this era. For the sake of having the last son, they raised so many daughters.
Because it was hard to come by, the youngest son was spoiled by them since he was a child.
The seven daughters became punching bags and never came back after they got married.
I thought I could rely on my youngest son for my retirement when I got old, but what happened?
Their son had been spoiled for so many years, and he could do nothing except talk. The wife he married was almost the same, so that even though Mrs. Zhou Mei was over 80 years old, she was still dirty and had no one to serve her.
"Hey, tell me, what's the point of raising so many children?"
"Yes, you unfilial descendant! You were so good to your son when he was young, but now that he is old, you are despised by him!"
"It's always like this. The child that parents love the most may often be the least filial one!"
After watching it, Yan Bugui and others couldn't help but sigh.
The video on the TV was like a mirror, and they saw themselves in the mirror.
He Daqing paused, looked at the others, and asked,
"What do you think?"
"What else?"
Yan Bugui snorted.
"This kind of thing is too common. Once a person gets old but can't die, he will be despised by others!"
The others nodded and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
He Daqing was not in a hurry and continued playing the video.
The protagonist of the second video is also an old lady, but her six daughters are also interviewed.
Through interviews with each daughter, a general outline of the story also emerged.
The old lady originally wanted a son, but after giving birth to six daughters in succession, she gave up the idea. But even so, the old lady was partial to some of her daughters.
The eldest daughter, who took on family responsibilities early on, contributed the most to the family, but was the least favored.
It was raining heavily and he was driven out of the house by his sixth daughter.
The old lady thought that she favored her youngest daughter and that she would take care of her, but what happened? In the end, the house was swindled away by the youngest daughter, who would not let her have meals at her house, but only brought lunch boxes to her house every day.
The old lady ran away from home in a rage...
Seeing this ending, everyone was angry.
"This little girl is so disgusting! Why doesn't she just die?"
"Having too many daughters is all about calculation. Oh, how sad!"
"After a lifetime of suffering, in the end there is no one to accompany me. It's too tragic!"
Because they were all recorded in the form of interviews, the sense of immersion was particularly real, and the old people were cursing while watching them.
But when He Daqing wanted to pause, they were not happy and continued to watch the video below.
Whenever I see something heartbreaking, I will continue to curse and then continue watching.
Huang He smiled helplessly, looked at He Daqing and said,
"Mr. He, what do you think of this documentary I made?"
He Daqing shrugged and pointed at the audience in front of him.
"Whether it's good or not can be seen from these few viewers. Director Huang, I think this video should not only be broadcast on TV, but also everywhere. Let everyone see what people should do when they get old. It's not the case that the more children you have, the better. If they don't take care of you in your old age and have no responsibility, then it's better not to have any children!"
He Daqing also knew that Huang He filmed these in order to deal with the test questions posed by his superiors and to promote eugenics, but when it comes to childbirth, the issue of elderly care cannot be avoided.
This documentary is the best publicity for my nursing home.
Blinking his eyes, He Daqing said to Huang He,
"Director Huang, I think you should interview these people again. They have a lot of stories to tell!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Huang He immediately became interested.
Yes, most of those who are willing to live in nursing homes have some problems with their children. These people may have the stories you want!
Thinking of this, Huang He became excited.
After the video was finished, Huang He came over with a smile.
"Senior citizens, I would like to conduct a similar interview with you. Is it convenient?"
"That's it……"
Yan Bugui pointed at the TV.
"After the interview, can we also be on TV?"
"Of course!"
Huang He smiled and said,
"This program I planned is about the problems of children and parents from ordinary families. As long as you have a story, you can tell it! It will be on TV in the future!"
"This……"
Hearing this, Yan Bugui and the others immediately became interested.
To be honest, after watching several story clips just now, they felt very upset and had so many things to say that they wanted to express.
"Okay, go ahead and pick it!"
Yan Bugui took a deep breath and said to Huang He.
When he was young, he liked to tell crosstalk. He originally thought that family disgrace should not be made public, but the atmosphere was such that he would suffocate to death if Yan Bugui did not complain.
