The "common people" of the military compound (1) (1)

An autumn wind, full of gold, Yang Chuanfu walked along the sidewalk of Fuxing Road, strolling in the bleak cold wind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The gray cape on Info's head seemed to be unwilling to serve the retired cadres anymore and always wanted to go with the wind, so Yang Chuanfu had to press it hard with one hand, forcing the restless guy to stay honestly on his head.

There are very few pedestrians on the road, and the figure of wading through the fallen leaves on the ground hurried, like a legendary ghost, flashed by. The street lamps are like red eyes, shining faintly, throwing orange light on the cold road at will, the congestion period has passed, and the cars are running on the wide road with a joy rarely seen in the city.

Every year in the middle of winter, every evening in the air hovering, clamoring, for the sunset to see off the crows, now is somewhere else to make a living or vacation, only to leave one after another vacant nests on the big poplar tree, from the number of nests, this should be regarded as a residential community of birds, unlike humans, they do not need to apply for approval to build residential areas, no one reviewed, of course, do not have to worry about the price of buying building materials and houses.

A familiar figure carrying a familiar satchel quickly overtook him, and Yang Chuanfu shouted to his back: "'Waste Professor' go slowly!" ”

The person known as the 'abolished professor' is surnamed Fei, called Fei Yuanqing, and is a demobilized cadre in the army. When Yang Chuanfu was working in the leading organ of the army, Fei Yuanqing began to work in the organ, and he was a neighbor who lived in the same family building as Yang Chuanfu. Fei Yuanqing is relatively good at writing, and after being transferred to the school to work, he is often seconded to the agency to work on materials, and he has been with Yang Chuanfu for many years, and the two are very familiar with each other. Fei Yuanqing usually talks a lot of nonsense, and Yang Chuanfu jokingly calls him a 'waste professor'.

Fei Yuanqing, who was thin, stopped, straightened his glasses, recognized it as Yang Chuanfu, and asked in surprise: "It's the 'bureau seat', I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you have time to come to our side to inspect the road tonight?" ”

Before his retirement, Yang Chuanfu was the director of the leading organ of the army, and Fei Yuanqing privately called him "the bureau seat".

"I also recently moved here, and just bought a military-built affordable housing this year."

Yang Chuanfu said to Fei Yuanqing.

Fei Yuanqing was very envious: "I know that the army has set aside a place in a compound here as a sales area, and has built a lot of new dormitory buildings, each with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, which is very beautiful." Alas, I really shouldn't have left the agency back then, let alone transferred to a local job, I went to the sea before I learned to swim, I didn't catch a few small fish and shrimp, I choked a few mouthfuls of water, and I still live in an apartment in the army school------"

As soon as Fei Yuanqing spoke, his spit was splashed, and Yang Chuanfu once joked with him that comrades like you walk along the side of the road every day and talk, and the sprinkler trucks in Beijing are no longer needed.

Yang Chuanfu took a handful of saliva stars that were sprinkled on his face with the wind with the back of his hand, waved his hand at Fei Yuanqing, motioned for the two of them to talk while walking, and comforted him and said: "We all understand that you changed jobs and started business at that time, and we won't mention the past anymore, it's good that you didn't drown in the business world." I heard that after you retired from a different job, you found something to do outside, where are you making a fortune now? ”

"Didn't I help proofread manuscripts at a publishing house a few years ago?"

"And now?"

"I'm still helping to proofread manuscripts at that publishing house."

"You really deserve to be called a 'waste professor.'" Yang Chuanfu couldn't help laughing, quickened his pace to keep up with Fei Yuanqing, and asked him again, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I've eaten, I've had lunch."

"It's past seven o'clock in the evening, and you're really late for dinner!"

"'Good food' is not afraid of being late."

"After you retire, you have a job outside, get double money, and you have plenty of money, and your family should have good food every day."

"Our family's dinner is generally stewed tofu and scrambled eggs, or it is scalding leftovers and boiling instant noodles.

"Why are you making so much money and are reluctant to eat and drink?"

Fei Yuanqing sighed and said, "Alas, if people are lucky, the wind blows the straw hat and buckles the quail; If a person is unlucky, he farts and hurts his heel. My wife spent a lot of money on medical treatment when she was alive, you know that. After graduating from my son's junior college, he didn't have a serious job for more than a year, he just wanted to dry the net and didn't want to fish, he didn't go to hit the bell when he became a monk, he scribbled at home every day, and began to find a job in an advertising company, and a few years ago he jumped to a magazine as an art editor, and the salary of three or four thousand yuan a month was not enough for him to eat, drink and play with his fox friends and dogs. The income of her daughter Aiqin and her husband is not high, and after having a child, I need to supplement part of the funds. My wife is gone, I don't care who cares about the children? As long as there is a breath left, it will be a dying struggle. Of course, I don't make much money, and I can't even afford to eat meat, mainly because I didn't know how to cook before, and now I don't have time to learn to cook, I often go to the publishing house to pick up manuscripts and send manuscripts, and my son lives with me now, if he eats at home, we will fry one or two dishes, and if he has a meal with a colleague outside, I will make do with it at home. Last month, I always felt uncomfortable in my stomach, and my head was a little dizzy, and when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that I had a more severe atrophic gastritis, high blood pressure, and my liver was not very good. ”

Yang Chuanfu said sympathetically to Fei Yuanqing: "Don't fail to settle the account, children have their own children's blessings, and they don't need their parents to make long-term plans." The children's path is mainly on their own, and you are exhausted and have no one to suffer for you. Some people say that people exchange their health for money when they are young, and money for their health when they are old. When you are really old, you will understand that money cannot be exchanged for health. Some people also say that a full house of children and grandchildren is not as good as a halfway couple, I advise you to find another wife and arrange your future life well. Don't spend time wandering around alone during the day; At night, facing the lone lamp, I taste desolation. ”

"My wife and I can't say how deep our feelings are, but since the day we got married, we have been determined to watch the sunrise with black hair and watch the sunset with white hair, and live a sincere life, but it's a pity that she left too early!" Fei Yuanqing sighed again and said.

"Most of our generation is like this, between husband and wife, they don't say grandiose words, they don't make vows, but they are single-minded and loyal to each other. It is impossible for two people to live together, and they may not necessarily die together, but they are willing to walk the long road between life and death together. ”

Fei Yuan nodded after listening to Yang Chuanfu's words, and then said: "When my wife is here, I don't have to worry about the children's affairs, but now I don't care!" Sometimes looking at my two children who don't have much potential, I really don't want to care about their affairs anymore, but I am always afraid that they will have a bad life, and the grandchildren will be pitiful in the future, and now my little grandson ------" mentioned his little grandson, Fei Yuanqing's eyes shone brightly, and he said to Yang Chuanfu excitedly, "That's really a smart child, beautiful and sweet-mouthed, as soon as I see him, I don't feel any bitterness or tiredness, my festival is not the Spring Festival, New Year's Day, nor the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, It was the day when the daughter and son-in-law came home with their little grandson. ”

Yang Chuanfu said: "I don't have your experience now, people often say 'next generation', the elderly like children is the nature, I see many people at home older than in the unit level of the elder level is happier." But the old man can't dote on the next generation, and many children are spoiled by their grandparents. Some old people's current thrift will cause their children's future luxury, and the current doting will cause their children's arrogance in the future. ”

Fei Yuanqing nodded approvingly and said: "You are right, you must take good care of your children's life, be strict in their studies, pay attention to guidance in life, and not spoil or spoil." Last Sunday, I was playing in the yard with my little grandson, and I saw an old comrade also playing with a child, and I asked him, is the child your grandson? He proudly said, yes! I asked him again, I haven't seen you in the compound before, what is your surname? He said, I usually don't live in the compound, the day before yesterday and my wife just came to the city from my hometown to see my grandson, you ask me what my surname is, I follow my grandson's surname, my grandson's surname is Liao, and my surname is Liao. I said that old comrade you can really joke, he said, I am not joking, my grandson is the 'little ancestor' of our family, so I take his surname. Tell me, isn't what that old comrade said a little excessive? ”

Yang Chuanfu nodded, and couldn't stop laughing. (To be continued.) )
