Neighbor Xiao Danxiu's daughter is 26 years old. She happened to take the same bus with her and went to the canteen at the gate of the community. She bought a bottle of ice water in three steps, made two steps, unscrewed it and fell down at once.
"It's hot, and it's fun to drink ice water. You must wait until it cools down. Drink slowly. Not good for your health. " I nagged kindly.
"I'm so angry, put out the fire first!" The anger in her eyes was obvious. "Didn't you hear? When I got off the bus, I asked the way alone. He called me "big sister"! Is he going to be forty? Call me' big sister'! Do I look that old? "
"ah? Didn't notice. I was answering the phone when I first got off the bus. Maybe he is asking me, not calling you ... "
"You don't have his old! How young does he think he is? These people are too stupid to talk ... "
When I entered the community, I just arrived at the door of the unit building, thinking that I couldn't listen to Xiao Dan's complaints. Who knows Pingmei just came back with her son, and when she heard what Xiao Dan said, they made a scene and complained together.
Because the community is a resettlement community in the suburbs, although the conditions are not good, most of the neighbors are old neighbors, which is more human.
I can only listen to them complaining about other people's names. Pingmei said angrily to Xiao Dan, "You are the elder sister. In some places, young women are treated as elder sisters." A man called me "auntie". This guy has a beard and looks like he is going to be 50 years old. I'm only 34 years old. How dare he call me "auntie"! There is no place where' auntie' is a respectful name, is there? "
"Maybe that person is too anxious to grow up, but he is only 17 years old?" Xiao Dan smiled a little gloating.
After listening to their talk for a while, I couldn't get a word in. I looked around in boredom. I glanced at Roger upstairs and greeted him warmly. Ping Mei and Xiao Dan also greeted him, followed by Ping Mei's son Xiao Pang.
"Hello, Grandma Luo!" Xiao pang's crisp voice sounded.
Roger's face turned white, then raised his head slightly, snorted at us and went upstairs with his mouth shut.
Pingmei knew that her son had called her by the wrong name, and taught him to call her "Aunt Luo" next time, and explained to us: "You don't know that Sister Luo has never been married, and she is still a big girl at the age of 48. It is always taboo for others to call her. "
Listen to the noise downstairs at night and go to the balcony.
Several staff members in the community are earnestly persuading Aunt Wang, "You are old and have a big temper. It is always bad to create family conflicts. "
"How can I bear it? We young people tolerate her, take care of her, or find fault with her. How can I live well? "
Aunt Wang complained bitterly about her runny nose and tears, and I wanted to laugh a little. This is not to say that she has no compassion. She mentioned the word "young man" several times. She is almost 68 years old and has said "how are we young people" several times. ...
Later, the community workers all said, "Slow down, slow down, old people walk slowly." I see, it's Li Nainai.
Li refused to slow down and strode to Aunt Wang and said, "I don't want you to cook for me. I can't get used to what you young people eat! Hurry up and build a small kitchen, I will cook by myself! "
I understand why Aunt Wang calls herself a "young man". Li is her in-laws, almost 92 years old. In front of her, what is Aunt Wang not a young man?
Community workers suggested that it would be more troublesome to build a small kitchen at home, and it was not safe for old Li to cook by himself.
Li refused to listen, but stretched out her hands and feet to prove her self-care ability.
Miss Xiao Li, a community worker who has just worked, she
She said softly, "Li Nainai, Grandma Wang has been filial to you for decades. There are not many such daughters-in-law now. Please be considerate of her ... "
Mother-in-law Li was angry and said loudly, "What are you shouting? Call my daughter-in-law' Grandma Wang' and call me' Li Nainai'. I am her contemporaries! I know you. Do you know that your great-grandfather always called me "sister"? You said yourself that you should call me? "
There are many long-lived old people here, and there are also many residents with the same surname and family. It is not easy for some distant relatives to straighten out the relationship between generations. Xiao Li, who just graduated from college, has never studied these problems, so he has argued for a long time to solve these problems.
Well, to sum up, it is best for women before the age of 70 to be called "big sister", "little sister, big sister, big sister"; After the age of 70, women may have to talk about seniority and so on, collectively referred to as "old people, doyen, ancestors, old ladies."
