The meeting place is also the old place, that is, when it was demolished before, the community cultural center next to the resettlement community, there is a stage in it, and the tables, chairs, and teacups are neat.

The community sent a notice to go out a long time ago, and anyone who is willing to participate can go, and those who are willing to perform the show can sign up with the community staff in advance.

"Uncle, long time no see, how are you doing?"

I followed my grandmother to the cultural activity center, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a group of elderly people sitting on the wall on the left hand. The old man Sun who was carrying the erhu, Uncle Wang who was holding the allegro, and the boss uncle who was holding a handful of Jinghu.

Chen Yixin also went to have dinner with the uncle and them once before going abroad, and the return of the demolition and resettlement was about to start, and she left before she had time to go to the uncle's new home to recognize the door.

Uncle didn't see Chen Yixin very much, the fashionable beautiful girl in front of him was the same as the little girl with a ponytail in his memory.

"Are you returning home?"

"Not yet, I guess there is still a year to graduate. Chen Yixin didn't say much about his academic affairs to his uncle, Chen Yixin didn't say much, but just used the musical instruments in their hands to chat for a while about the street artists he had seen abroad.

"I've been to listen to the operas they admire, to be honest, I still think our Peking Opera Sichuan Opera is good, and Huangmei Opera is also good. ”

"To each his own eye. The uncle is still so calm, "You are a dirt girl, no matter how bright you dress, you are still traditional in your bones." ”

The old people say that you are traditional and do not dislike you, but it is an affirmation and praise.

Chen Yixin smiled and didn't speak, and after a while, there were more people in the cultural center, many of whom were dragged by their families, and some brought their own benches. There were both old and small, and the auditorium of the cultural center, which could only accommodate about 200 people, soon became unable to sit down.

The children, who were half years old, couldn't bear to listen to their grandmothers chatting with people and talking about old topics, and they invited them out to play. Anyway, there is a cultural park outside, and surveillance cameras are installed at the entrance and hidden spots, plus there are many people, and there is no fear of children having accidents.

Qi brushed away twenty or thirty children, and the rest of the women didn't like to listen to dramas and watch performances, so they also made an appointment to go shopping, or directly brought a picnic mat, and went outside to play with the young children on the lawn, and by the way, they chatted about the parenting topics of mothers.

A third of the walk was empty, and it was finally less crowded.

Today's performance was quite formal. In front of them, there were uncles and aunts in the choir wearing skirts, as well as aunts and sisters who performed dances, and even under the guidance of her grandmother, she also saw an elderly team performing empty bamboos, and the five old men were wearing neat practice clothes and light makeup, which was simply a handsome old man with a unique momentum.

"Uncle, why don't you dress up well?"

"Isn't that good?"

The boss uncle got up and made a portrait, cut a well-fitting horse coat and robe, and added a Jinghu, which was a bit like that.

Chen Yixin found out that the three uncles were all wearing the same robe and horse coat, and each had a coat on the outside.

Their program came in seventh, with a performance by the Community Elderly Choir in front and a song and dance program by the Children's Arts Troupe in the back.

Originally, I thought that they were just playing on stage, at most the old man Sun would sing a few more words, but who knows, after coming to the stage, in addition to the three old men, two more girls went up, carrying a big drum, followed by an old lady about eighty years old, full of gorgeous hair, wearing a cheongsam and elegant pearl jewelry, and stood behind the big drum with the support of one of the girls.

A drum sounded, the erhu sounded, the old lady raised her voice, and the applause below continued.

Chen Yixin rarely watched this kind of folk performance, and was not familiar with this old lady who sang the drum, so he turned his head and asked to know that this is the inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage and the contemporary leader of the Jingyun drum.

"The old lady is not in good health, and this may be the last time she will go on stage. Before, her granddaughter came to perform for her, but the old lady was very unhappy, and she couldn't help it, so she agreed to let her come here to sing. ”

There was a familiar eldest sister next to her who explained to her in a low voice.

"Did you see an ambulance parked outside when you came here just now? That's for these old ladies and old men. It's all about seventy or eighty people, and no one knows what it will be like to be emotional on this occasion. ”

Although I don't approve of them fighting for their weak bodies to come here to perform, but if you think about it, you can understand that if you don't come, you will really regret it for life.

The performance lasted for more than two hours, and at the end of the show, several old friends of 80 and 90 years old hugged each other and blessed each other.

This farewell may also be the last time we will see each other in life.

Chen Yixin felt something, and even her grandmother was not sticky, so she pestered the boss and uncle, saying that she wanted to go to his house to recognize the door.

"Back then, I was told that you hadn't invited me to eat shabu-shabu when you moved to a new house. Chen Yixin pouted and turned his head to look at Old Man Sun, "Uncle Sun, you give a comment, you can't think you don't know me because I have been abroad for three years, right?"

The boss uncle snorted twice: "If you want to come and eat, call your boyfriend." ”

After speaking, he saw that Chen Yixin's face was a little stiff, and his eyes narrowed: "What's the matter?

"No, didn't he go on a business trip, and he probably won't be able to come back. ”

The boss uncle stared at her for a long time, and sneered: "I'll tell you later." ”

A couple of old guys took their guys and got into their own cars with their children to pick them up.

The boss uncle has no descendants, when he came, he came in the car of the old man Sun's family, and this time, it must be Chen Yixin who is trying to find a way.

"Well, look at my foresight, I'm here by car!"

The car was bought by Chen's mother, a domestic SUV, and the two often drove Grandma Chen and her old girlfriends out to play.

The car drove out for more than half an hour and arrived at the community where I had returned.

This community was designed by Mr. An and his colleagues according to the model of the nursing community. The whole community focuses on the daily life of the elderly, and there is also a community health center and supporting elderly activity center. Each unit has ramps designed for wheelchairs to go up and down, as well as indoor fitness facilities for seniors to move around on rainy days.

It can be said that all aspects of the life of the elderly have been taken into account, and even the master bedroom, secondary bedroom and bathroom in each house have installed emergency buttons, and the community service center is on duty 24 hours a day. If the elderly are uncomfortable at home, they can directly press the emergency button at the head of the bed to talk to the community service center and ask for help.
