The "common people" of the military compound (5) (7)
"It's good that you have such an ideological foundation, yesterday I had a gathering with my fellow villagers, and the deepest feeling is that a person should be content with the foreknowledge and then happy, many old people who live happily are not because they have more money, but because they have less desires, and more often, it is not that they envy others, but they can be self-satisfied. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After listening to Yang Chuanfu's words, Fei Yuanqing nodded approvingly.
Yang Chuanfu and Fei Yuanqing talked as they walked, and they didn't stop until they heard someone shouting "Teacher Fei" behind them.
"What topic are the two old leaders talking about, so focused, I shouted a few times in the back and you didn't hear it?"
Director Gou said, and together with Lao Shi, he took a few steps to catch up with Yang Chuanfu and Fei Yuanqing.
"The two of us are having a family seminar!" Yang Chuanfu said with a smile.
Lao Shi knew what Yang Chuanfu and Fei Yuanqing had just discussed, and said clearly: "I agree with Director Yang's statement, Lao Fei's view of life problems is somewhat one-sided. In many cases, people's feelings cannot be compared with each other, but some people are always accustomed to complaining about what they lack with what others have. Lao Fei, although your wife is gone, and the two children do not have the ability to make their parents proud, they are loyal, kind, and filial to the elderly; They keep to themselves, abide by the law, and make money with their own hands, this is their ability. I have a neighbor across the door, and my husband and wife's children are all graduates of prestigious universities, and now their son is in business in the United States, and their daughter is teaching in Canada, and everyone around them is very envious. Only I know their hardships, after the old couple retired, they went to live with their daughter for more than two months, and they also went to live with their son for a while, and they never wanted to go abroad to live with their children in the future. They said that the children have their own careers, and it is impossible to accompany them every day, because they do not know foreign languages, and as soon as they go out, they become super-crippled, deaf and dumb. Now the old husband and wife depend on each other at home, take care of each other, sometimes with staggering steps to measure the winding paths of the park, sometimes with dizzy eyes sitting on the sofa to review TV programs, see some elderly people with grandchildren playing outside, they were once envied by others, now they only envy others. ”
Director Gou said: "The situation mentioned by Lao Shi is not an accidental phenomenon, I have a fellow soldier Lao Jiang, who is two years older than me, and his two sons have very good academic performance when they go to school, one is amazing, the other is amazing, and they are both in the United States at present. The two daughters-in-law are also Chinese who have developed in the United States, the eldest son and daughter-in-law are as cunning as a flower fox, and they don't want children at the age of thirty-seven or eight, in addition to urging their son, Lao Jiang and his wife have also begged her in the center of the phone many times, she doesn't care, saying that young people just want to enjoy life without restraint, and when talking to the old man, they still have a tone of 'I cut off my son, and let you lose your grandson'; the second son and daughter-in-law are as gentle as a Persian cat, saving on meals and clothes, but they don't know birth control when they have children, and they give birth to two boys in three years. Lao Jiang's wife went abroad to take her grandson for four months, and she told me when she came back that it was like sitting in a class room for 120 days abroad, and although the house where her son lived was not small and the environment was relatively beautiful, she was not used to eating or drinking there, except for her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, and she couldn't even find anyone to talk to. In foreign countries, it is cheap eyes, wronged stomach, idle mouth, poor ears, her weight was seventy-five kilograms when she went abroad, and when she came back, there were only sixty-six kilograms left, and she didn't take diet pills, and her body lost a lot of weight. ”
Fei Yuanqing listened to the words of Lao Shi and Director Gou: "I have never envied other people's children going abroad, what is it to go to the United States?" The United States is nothing remarkable, don't think that a White House with an American flag is a 50-star hotel. I said that my children are not angry at all, not that they expect them to develop abroad, now the domestic conditions are so superior in all aspects, and some things are not good at home, and if you can't do it with the motherland in mind, how can you 'look at the world'? ”
Yang Chuanfu said to Fei Yuanqing: "As the saying goes, people always look at their children as good, and they always look at other people's wives as good, you have to adjust the angle of looking at your children." When she grew up, my wife and I have always encouraged her to be self-reliant, and she chose to go abroad because she wanted to get rid of her parents' care and improve herself in an all-round way. Hey, by the way, Lao Fei, you once told me that there are some young male editors in the unit of the Patriotic Army who have good conditions, let him connect our family Qiuping, and my daughter will be ready to return to China for development in the future! ”
Fei Yuanqing patted his head and said: "Hey, look at my memory, I really neglected this matter, after I told my son once, I didn't ask him about it again, I always felt that your Qiuping's conditions were so good, and I didn't need others to worry about her."
Yang Chuanfu said: "This matter is not too anxious, my younger brother called me from his hometown and told me that my old mother has not been in good health recently, and I may go back to my hometown to live for a few days, and after I come back from my hometown, I will listen to your news." ”
After Director Gou and Lao Shi listened to Fei Yuanqing's brief introduction to Qiu Ping's situation, they both said that Yang Chuanfu didn't need to worry about his daughter's marriage, a good woman didn't have to worry about getting married, Qiu Ping had such good conditions, and she could choose one out of a hundred when looking for a boyfriend, and choose the best of the best.
It's not early, it's time for a few people to break up again, Lao Shi and Director Gou both feel that they are not having fun, and Lao Shi finally said to Fei Yuanqing: "Fellow countryman, you must remember, look forward!" No one can go back to the past and start over, but anyone can start again from the present, the past has become the past, the past has become the past, the past is no longer possessed, and the past will not come again. However, you always have a today and an infinite number of tomorrows in your hands. ”
On his way home from Lianhuachi Park, Yang Chuanfu told Fei Yuanqing that the barracks of the army where he lived belonged to the sales area, and that the cadres who had retired a little earlier had all purchased affordable housing built by the army itself, and that they had all been handed over to the Beijing Municipal Government for management. Recently, a rest house for retired military cadres was set up in the barracks where he lived, or "military rest house" for short.
Yang Chuanfu also said to Fei Yuanqing: "The name of our military rest house is called 'Wancui Road Military Rest House', and the retired military cadres who live in our community, including other retired military cadres living near our community, must be handed over to the Wancui Road Army Rest House for unified management. “
Fei Yuanqing listened to Yang Chuanfu's words, and said with some astonishment: "The living arrangements for retired military cadres are relatively better than those of retired local cadres, and the retired cadres in the local areas mainly depend on the unit, organs, and institutions in which you used to work. ”
"Our country has entered an elderly society, and now governments at all levels attach great importance to the living arrangements of the elderly, and the situation will gradually improve in the future."
After Yang Chuanfu finished speaking, he felt that he seemed to have said an inconsequential official word to Fei Yuanqing. (To be continued.) )
