Chapter 52 Volunteering
There are activities this week, and the Limin Service Center and Tianxin Nursing Home carry out activities.
The Limin Service Center subsidizes and supports the performance of the nursing home, which carries out a series of activities for the elderly, and also invites people from all walks of life to carry out volunteer services for the elderly.
Speaking of which, it's a professional thing. One of the indicators of the Innovation Park is volunteering.
Therefore, Tang Yijue's intern came at the right time. On the one hand, they don't have to spend all day in the Innovation Park to live a monotonous life, and on the other hand, volunteering does require manpower.
Director Yang informed us of the news in advance and asked all of us to participate in volunteer activities, which is a public welfare act that is beneficial to improving the service quality and influence of the Innovation Park.
Early the next morning, Tang Yi and his entourage came to the office early, changed into volunteer clothes, and rushed to the nursing home together.
Tianxin Nursing Home is near the service center, not far away, but because I have never passed by, I didn't know that there was this place.
Tianxin Nursing Home is the only welfare home in the vicinity, which has only been established for two or three years, but due to its relative scarcity, it is very lively, the occupancy rate is very high, and the quality of service is OK.
Arriving at the established office, the staff of the Limin Center arrived one after another. There are several processes in this volunteer activity, one is to chat with the elderly, the second is to participate in the art show, and the third is free activities. And act in groups.
Director Yang began to "point the general". Originally, the interns were divided into two groups, but later because Tang Yi was a boy, I didn't know how to assign them, ** flashed a pair of smart eyes, and took the initiative to ask to be in a group with Tang Yi.
Tang Yijue's indifference, he was originally participating in volunteer activities, and everyone was volunteering.
At this time, the nursing home was quite lively, in fact, we were not the only ones who participated in the volunteer service.
When we get to the second floor, which is where the elderly usually stay, we need to take the initiative to choose a room and communicate with each other.
Tang Yi is still a little shy, although it is something that he has often done before, but the style of the old people is different, and sometimes it is really difficult for the old people to talk about being happy, because most of the old people are passive, they are eager to chat, eager to be taken care of, but they all have a careful and closed heart, and they are not open to outsiders for a while.
"Let's go, senior, let's go there. Tang Yi only felt at this time that ** was so cute, so caring, and so understanding.
One room, two old people, just right.
After saying hello, Tang Yi chose the nearest uncle close to the door and opened the chatterbox.
"Hello uncle, I'm Xiao Tang of Limin Center. ”
"Oh, hello. "Uncle Xu hasn't been seen for a long time, I'm very happy.
"How long have you been here?"
"It's been three years. ”
"So, how often do the children come to see them? ”
"Two weeks, three weeks, come when you have time, and leave in a hurry when you come. ”
"How does it feel here. ”
"Fortunately, I didn't adapt to it at first, but then it gradually got better, anyway, the children can do whatever they like. ”
"There are so many old people here, it shouldn't be too lonely. ”
"Yes, although there are some activities here from time to time, I rarely communicate with them, and some of them have become friends. ”
"Actually, there is no difference between being at home and a nursing home, and to be honest, the conditions here are a little better. Tang Yi said tentatively.
"Well, life is a lot easier, but I like to play with my grandchildren. ”
"Will they come and see you on the weekend?"
"I come occasionally, but it's a strange thing, and I don't pay much attention to it. I am now using my pension for the elderly, and I have nothing to do with my son. ”
"Oh, is it financially burdensome here?"
"1800 a month and a few other small expenses. My sons and daughters all have their own jobs, and they are not as enthusiastic about me as they used to be. ”
"Oh, uncle, then you are amazing, you can support yourself, much more powerful than many families. ”
"Hehe, that's it, there isn't much time anyway, a year is a year. ”
"Don't say that, you're still young, and you have a lot of good days. ”
"Anyway, that's it, I raise my elders, and they do their work, and they don't affect each other. ”
"When I have time, I go out and walk more, it's all about activities anyway. Tang Yi plans to talk about it.
"You can treat me as a niece, and I'll come to see you when I have time. Tang Yi suddenly heard the bed next door ** say, it seems that she is going further than herself. The uncle looked very warm, picked up a small object and was about to give it away, Tang Yi picked up the camera and captured this moment.
After coming out, the two of them smiled and went on to visit the next room.
The morning passed quickly, and at noon everyone had a free lunch in the cafeteria, which was the benefit of the day.
The activities in the afternoon were more abundant, some pushed the old man to bask in the sun, some helped the old man comb his hair, Tang Yi chose to play chess with the old man.
said that it was chess, but in fact, it was to play with the old man, Tang Yi played three games of chess with the old man with the attitude of only losing and not winning, because it was a best-of-three system.
Losing is also a skill to lose, the first set is naturally needless to say, in the second game Tang Yi cheered up and found that the old man really had two hits, not so easy, and finally won, the third set is still the same, but Tang Yi lost boldly, and the loss did not show traces.
Towards the end of the event, Director Yang called everyone to gather, among them, the daughter of the chess master (who works in the nursing home. I actually found it, saying that I was very happy to play chess with the uncle, and the uncle hoped that Tang Yi would take a photo and come over often in the future, because there were few people who played chess.
Tang Yi was a little surprised, and said yes again and again.
The day of volunteering ended perfectly.
Tang Yi is actually afraid in his heart, for this kind of place, on the one hand, you must be enthusiastic and kind, on the other hand, you must also have a better psychological quality, because if you are not careful, you may encounter people with physical defects, or a more heart-wrenching scene.
When gathering for a group photo, ** stood next to Tang Yi lightly, and everyone pulled the support flag together, happily shouting "eggplant" together. ”
"Let's go back and go to work tomorrow as usual. Stay safe on the road. Director Yang was also very satisfied with everyone's performance and explained to everyone.
On the way back, Tang Yi followed this group of girls, talking and laughing with them, with a relaxed look, and even, this group of girls also asked Tang Yi about his professionalism, about the pension model, Tang Yi was not polite, and answered one by one, of course, he was not satisfied with the current pension model, after all, it was not mature enough, and it was still being explored.
Even Tang Yi of Mu Ne also found that ** in her own way, deliberately approaching herself, Tang Yi did not deliberately refuse, but also did not obviously accept, because the long-term dream of "Wutai Mountain" is still there, and his ideal celibacy is still there, this is not only because of Tang Yi's pickiness, but with the consciousness that time does not wait, in this consciousness, he would rather shrink in a quiet corner, look at the warmth and coldness of the people around him, and talk and laugh, although, this is not fair to **.
However, everything seems to be moving on an uncertain trajectory. Tang Yi also found that the people in the nursing home, including Director Yang and Director Lu, naturally have a good impression of **, otherwise, they would not inadvertently take care of her in action and words, ** is simply innocence, all of this, she does not reject it, but is willing to accept it, which may be attributed to her emotional woodenness, which is no different from the heroine on TV.
But, maybe it was Tang Yi himself who was really wooden, he didn't know that she was restraining the waves of her emotions until it could no longer be controlled.
