From time to time passers-by stopped waiting to see the old man's "merchandise". Reporters learned that the old man still has a paralyzed bed waiting for her.

16 afternoon, the reporter came to the provincial city sunshine new road and Jianxin Road intersection in advance, waiting for the elderly to come.
just 5 o'clock, came to the old Feng Qin. She was riding a tricycle with a small horse and ten pairs of baby toddlers made by herself. Next to the flower bed beside the signal lamp, sit down and arrange your own shoes. The old man starts to sell shoes. Every time a red light is on, there will be many pedestrians waiting for the lights in front of the old man, looking down at the shoes made by the old man.
well intentioned citizens will pass a few yuan, will be rejected by the elderly: "this is not good, I do not accept, I only sell shoes. I don't want any of the money. " The old man said as he pushed the money back.
shoes made by old people are for children of toddlers. There are two kinds of shoes, one of which is 15 yuan for soft soles when they are just beginning to walk. The other shoe is slightly thicker, which is for a walking child, 18 yuan. The old man said, sewing shoes by hand is very troublesome. The soft ones usually need two days to make a pair of hard bottom, which takes three days. The sole of the shoe is made by the old man, and there are different colors, such as pink and dark blue, respectively. There are 8 pairs of semi finished shoes in the bag beside the old man. "I forgot to bring my sewing thread today. If I had a needle and thread, I could make shoes when I had no business. You see, the broken upper shoe needs to sew the red upper, and the blue upper has to sew the white upper to look good. The old man laughs, "this afternoon, the business is very good. It has sold 4 pairs of shoes. It used to wait for a whole afternoon, and one pair could not sell."
in addition to extremely bad weather conditions, the elderly will stand out every day. From four or five to seven or eight in the afternoon, you can see the old man's figure at the intersection. "There are more than 70 double tiger head shoes in my house, but it's winter wearing. It's not suitable for sale now. When it's winter, I'll take out the tiger's shoes at home and sell it."

"My big girl has a bigger woman than me, also paralyzed in bed, the son-in-law looks at them, they two people look after the two old people, how can they do it? Two daughters in Shanghai and family elderly rent together, she needs to work, rent and medical expenses are two daughters to pay, my two daughters are not very easy.

help the old man
when he chatted with Yu Fengqin old man, he noticed that there was a lot of bruise on the old man's face. The old man smiled awkwardly, saying that he was going to pick up things by riding a tricycle. He accidentally dropped it up the hill and didn't go to the hospital to see it, so his face was so green.
said, the old man remembered something, took out a piece of cardboard, said that in August 14th about six p.m., a lady took a pair of shoes, but did not pay. A passing good man helped her write a card, hoping that the woman would send back the money to buy the shoes. The good old man said, "it is urgent to forget to pay."
when the reporter was chatting with the old man, another good man came to give her 50 yuan. The old man pushed away from it and went out for a long way. "I don't earn much. I can buy some vegetables at home."
the reporter appealed here that if you need toddler shoes at home, or you just pass by, buy a pair of shoes to help the elderly.
