Chapter 33 The Old Lady And The Old Man
"Granny, here you are." said Molly.
At this time, the olddy was picking up the rest of the orange from the ground with difficulty.
Seeing the orange in front of her, the olddy was stunned, but soon showed a kind smile and said,

"Thank you, good child."
"It doesn''t matter." With a smile, Molly helped the olddy up and said, "Granny, have a rest. I''ll pick up
the rest."
Sitting aside, Molly watched the olddy peel the orange for the old man and carefully remove the
white threads outside, and then send them to the old man''s mouth.
It seemed that the old man had Alzheimer''s disease.
Sometimes, before the old man could open his mouth, the olddy would patiently touch his lips again
and again to let him open his mouth to eat.
Noticing that Molly was looking at her, the olddy smiled at her and said, "When people get old, they
will be like this."
Molly smiled sheepishly and said, "You and grandpa love each other so much!"
"Ahem!" Hearing that, the olddy smiled and said, "We have been together for so many years. Love
hasn''t been the most important thing!"
The olddy turned to look at the old man and said with a smile, "But he was so kind to me when he
was young."
When the olddy said this, her face seemed to be a little red, and she looked much younger.
"Oh!" Molly answered in a long voice, with a yful look on her face.
"You naughty girl!" The olddy sensed Molly''s teasing and didn''t get angry. She stretched out her
hand and pointed at Molly, "Naughty girl."
Molly stuck out her tongue naughtily.
The olddy sighed, but she didn''t feel depressed. She looked at the old man and said.
"It''s said that when people get older, they''re like a child."
Then the olddy turned to Molly and said, "Don''t look at him sitting here quietly now. You don''t know
how much he makes me angry at home."
The olddy seemed to be very dissatisfied with the old man. She med all the "crimes" of the old
man to Molly.
"He said he wanted to eat rice at home. I asked him to have a meal after I made the meal. He didn''t
want to eat anymore, but he wanted to eat noodles. When the noodles were ready, he wanted to eat
rice. It really made me very angry."
Although the olddy said she was angry, there was still a smile in her eyes.
"But I can''t leave you alone just because you piss me off, can I?" The olddy wiped the old man''s
mouth and asked the old man yfully.
Sitting aside and watching the scene, Molly felt very warm.
"We''re husband and wife, and we''re going to be coitant to old no matter what." No one know if the
olddy was talking to Molly or the old man.
Maybe it''s really that when people got older, they had more words. Seeing that Molly had been sitting
next to her and listening to her with a smile, the olddy began to talk about their youth.
The olddy squinted her eyes and seemed to be immersed in the past. "When we were young, we
had a hard time. We couldn''t even afford fruit then. On a new year''s Day, we were so poor that we
could only afford a bag of oranges."
Looking at the peeled orange in her hand, the olddy''s eyes were full of memories.
"He didn''t eat any of them. He left them all to me."
"Later on, life was much better and we could buy all kinds of food. But no matter what, he always left
the best for me. Only when I was tired of eating and using, the rest was his."
"Of course, we often quarrel with each other. But if we don''t quarrel, we''re not like a family. No one can
never quarrel all their lives!"
"We''ve been together for a lifetime. Now he is getting older and weaker, and his memory is getting
worse and worse. He often goes out and can''t find the way home."
The olddy put the orange slice that the old man had pushed in front of her in her mouth and said,
"Look, he hasn''t forgotten to let me eat it. s!"
Although the olddy sighed, her tone was very satisfied.
Molly had been listening quietly. When she saw the interaction between the two old people, she
couldn''t help but say enviously, "That''s good. I really envy you."
The olddy turned her head and looked at Molly with a big smile.
"Kid, don''t be so envious. Everyone is living like this."
Looking at Molly, the olddy said, "You are so beautiful. There must be a lot of people chasing after
you, right?"
Molly scratched her hair and felt embarrassed.
"Young people, if you want to find someone to marry, you must find someone who can seriously
apany you for a lifetime."
"It doesn''t matter what he looks like, but he must be honest and treat you sincerely."
"Those who always say sweet words but don''t do practical things are not sincere to you. In a
rtionship, the most important thing is to be sincere. "
"But, if you are sure that you want to love someone, then don''t care how others object. Pursue your
own heart and indulge yourself to love, and don''t leave any regret in your life."
The olddy turned to look at the old man. Molly could see the attachment and profound love in her
eyes.
"We have been quarreling for the rest of our lives. Although he is like this now, I feel very satisfied as
long as I see him."
"After all, life is like water, cold and warm self-knowledge!"
