The biggest feature of People's Park is the blind date corner. Blind date corner is gradually established in the 21st century, with the acceleration of people's pace of life, more and more white-collar workers began to reduce the time with people, and gradually became older unmarried young people, many parents of outstanding older unmarried young people gradually began to find suitable partners for their children.

First of all, the elderly who exercised in the People's Park began to communicate with each other, and then developed into the city's elderly concentrated in the People's Park for communication. This phenomenon is so special that it has attracted the attention of many news outlets, and many media outlets have reported on it.

I don't know that from that day on, every weekend and holiday, in the northeast corner of the People's Park, there will be a street drama of "white-haired blind date", thousands of parents like a market, with a list of their children's blind date conditions "resume" gathered here, in the way of "stalls" and "listings", for their children to find a marriage partner.

On ordinary days, the place of the blind date corner is occupied by some people who love physical exercise. There's everything here. There are those who play tai chi, those who roller skate, those who play with empty bamboos, those who play meteor ropes, and those who kick shuttlecocks. There is also a whip thrower, which snaps loudly every day, one hundred and eight times, no more, no less.

The old man Zhang Jiujiu met was also one of them. But the old people don't like to join in the fun. He chose a vacant lot in the peach blossom forest in Dongshan. This location is a treasure trove of feng shui. You can see the Xishan Garden Pavilion in the distance, and you can smell the murmuring of the stream, the birds and flowers, and the air is fresh. There were also stone tables and benches on the side.

The old man came every day, put the handbag containing the kettle on the stone table, put it in a horseback riding and squatting pose, first exhaled his old breath, closed his eyes, meditated on his heart, and only after about half an hour did he start to exercise.

The old man was dressed in a gray practice uniform, with a gray beard, and silver hair, he really had a feeling of being a hidden fairy. His expression was calm, energetic, radiant, and heroic.

Zhang Jiujiu came here and had a feeling that he couldn't bear to destroy this peace. He didn't speak, but squatted down like an old man. When the old man heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and closed them again, and secretly admired: "The son can be taught." ”

Today is the first day that Zhang Jiujiu has practiced kung fu, and the old man is very satisfied with his performance. Today's children are very active and not quiet. How many people can calm down and practice standing on the pile? Although Zhang Jiujiu's movements are very non-standard. But this attitude is very rare.

The old man did not start to do Tai Chi at the usual pace, but continued to stand on the horse pile. It lasted for an hour. Zhang Jiujiu didn't dare to ask more, and stood for an hour.

The old man hugged the moon in his arms and took the action. walked in front of Zhang Jiujiu, corrected his posture, and stood up again.

Zhang Jiujiu is depressed. Isn't it teaching kung fu? Why is this horse still standing endlessly? After another half hour, his legs were already shaking. The old man was fine, quietly exhaling and inhaling, not moving.

After standing like this for two hours in a row, Zhang Jiujiu finally couldn't hold on. "Old man, I can't stand." Zhang Jiujiu said tremblingly.

"Well, that's good." The old man didn't reply, two words came out of his nose, and there was no follow-up.
