A Home for Veterans Chapter 32: A Dream Comes True (I)
I heard that it was the ministry's preparatory office that wanted to report on the preparations for the construction of affordable housing, and some veteran comrades who had not participated in collective activities for many years also came, some with pills in their pockets, and some with their children in their arms.

The old comrades usually have their own things, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they meet together, some are chatting about family life, and some are joking.
"Hello Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with at home?" An elderly man in his sixties asked an older man with all white hair next to him.
"After retirement, what else can I be busy with, busy with housework, a few years ago, I was a 'filial son', running around for my son to find a job and marrying a daughter-in-law, and I contacted all directions. In the past two years, he has been a 'virtuous grandson', fetching milk and washing diapers for his son's son, working tirelessly and enjoying it. You seem to be in good spirits, what are you busy with right now? The white-haired old man also asked the other party.
"Waste utilization, no, it should be said that I used my spare heat to proofread in a publishing house and become an outside editor."
The tone of the other party was full of pride and accomplishment.
The white-haired old man said, "You are so old that you still go to the bus every day, be careful not to be squeezed apart by the old bones." ”
"I work not far from my home, and I have a 'special car', so I don't have to squeeze the bus, you ask me what kind of special car? It's still the 28 'flying pigeon', which doesn't drink oil, doesn't eat grass, and runs around with both feet. ”
It's a happy conversation here, and it's lively there.
"How is Lao Liu's health lately?" A short, stocky old man asked a tall, thin old man next to him.
"My body is not as good as before!" Said the tall, thin old man.
"When you are older, of course, your body is not as good as when you were young, I remember when you were young, the night before you wrote materials with your colleagues until two or three o'clock, and you had to play poker for a while before going to bed, and you took a nap at dawn the next day, and you were still very energetic when you went to work in the morning."
"The heroes don't mention the courage of the year. Speaking of playing poker, the four of us who used to play together back then, all three of them went to 'over there' to play for us, and I was the only one left who didn't die. ”
"Beware of them coming back and calling you when they're 'missing one' over there."
The stocky old man joked with the tall, thin old man.
The tall and thin old man said with a smile: "I don't need them to call, I will go by myself when the time comes, but I can't go for the time being in the past few years, I have to first divide the affordable housing and then say, the house is renovated, although I can't live for a few years, but I want to leave an inheritance to my children and grandchildren." Alas, speaking of which, I sometimes miss their brothers, and I guess those guys are doing well over there, otherwise, why haven't any of them sneaked back since they left! ”
There was still some time before the meeting, and the old comrades were almost there, and they talked and laughed together, as if they were several years younger.
Wang Quan is the most active person in the conference room, because he has been working for many years of veteran cadre management before retirement, everyone is very familiar with him, and they also know that he is enthusiastic, loves to joke, and is willing to talk to him and say hello.
Wang Quan arranged for others to find a seat while joking with the old cadres around him.
Wang Quan was also the most popular person in the conference room, because he was participating in the preparatory work for the construction of affordable housing on behalf of retired cadres, so many veteran comrades always wanted to hold him up, talk about their thoughts, and learn about the latest situation.
"Officer Wang came over to smoke one, this is a good cigarette, I haven't been willing to smoke it." A blessed old cadre greeted him and said.
Wang Quan happily took the cigarette, took a puff and said to the old cadre of Fushi: "Your old man's cigarettes should be identified by an archaeologist to see which dynasty produced them, and the tobacco in them is all dry." ”
"It must have been a gift from someone else when he was the incumbent governor." Another old cadre said with a smile next to him.
"Lao Wang, my son just brought this cigarette back from a business trip a few days ago, come, smoke again!" Another old cadre had a cigarette in his mouth and a box of cigarettes in his hand and shouted at him on the other side.
"I know that your son often comes back with good cigarettes on business trips, and when the good cigarettes at home can't be smoked in the future, I will help to smoke, otherwise they will all be dried, and I like to help others." Wang Quan said to him with a grin.
Wang Quan saw that the conference room was already full, and there was no place for anyone to sit again, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Shang to move a few more chairs to another office. As soon as he took Xiao Shang away, he turned around and saw an old comrade with gray hair and a thin body also walking into the conference room on crutches.
"Ouch Lao Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few months, your old man is still alive ------!" Wang Quan stepped forward to hold his hand and said happily.
"I don't dare to be alive, make do with it." The gray-haired old comrade said with a smile in a high voice.
"Hey, if you want to live, you have to live well, you can't make do."
"If you don't make do, I'm sixty-nine years old this year, and I'm almost old!"
"It's not uncommon in ancient times, and now at the age of sixty-nine, he can only be said to be a 'senior youth', not even a middle-aged person. Brother's mind should be emancipated a little, don't guard the mausoleum for love anymore, when my sister-in-law was sick, you served day and night, and you were worthy of her. As the saying goes, a full house of children and grandchildren is not as good as a halfway couple, while the current physical condition is good, hurry up and find a younger wife. ”
"What is the health of the body, I suffer from neurasthenia, lumbar spine strain, and stomach problems are often committed."
"Your illness is in the upper body, as long as there is nothing wrong with the lower body."
Wang Quan had just said a few jokes to the gray-haired old comrade, and when he turned his head, he saw a thin old comrade also looking at him and laughing, so he took his hand affectionately and said, "Isn't this Brother Cong, I haven't seen you for a long time, why didn't you show up when you were 'stunned', and now where did you come from?" ”
"I heard that you were going to build a new house for us old guys, so I was willing to leave the nest and run out." The emaciated old comrade also joked with Wang Quan.
"How's your body now?"
"Fortunately, there is no major problem, just a little diabetic."
"It's not good to have diabetes, it's good if you have diabetes, there are more people who have diabetes, and you can save a lot of sugarcane land to grow crops."
With a few minutes left before the scheduled meeting, Tamson accompanied Ren Fuxing into the conference room.
Ren Fuxing kept saluting and shaking hands with the old cadres.
