The "common people" of the army compound (xiv) (1)

The willows spit out beads, and the spring breeze blows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe sandstorms that used to be common at this time in Beijing have been significantly reduced after years of control, but the smog is often entrenched in the world, and if it weren't for the haze, it should be a very comfortable season.

At about 7 o'clock in the morning, the automobile exhibition began again on the streets and alleys of Beijing, and the congested cars were moving slowly in long queues.

Yang Chuanfu and Fei Yuanqing did not take the bus, but still chose to walk, along the Jingmi Aqueduct to the east, and walked for nearly an hour before entering the southwest gate of Yuyuantan Park. The two of them went to the Lotus Pond Park more often, the area of the Lotus Pond Park is small, the facilities are compact, the hustle and bustle, suitable for playing. Yuyuantan Park has a large area, a wide water surface and a quiet environment, which is most suitable for the elderly to cultivate their self-cultivation. The most crucial reason is that neither park is too far from their home.

Yuyuantan Park is famous for its wide variety of cherry blossom trees and large planting area in Beijing, but now the flower bones on the cherry blossom trees have closed their mouths, and they have not yet fully awakened from the fatigue of spring sleep, and it is not yet time to show a smile to people.

Because today is not a weekend, there are many elderly people exercising in the park in the morning, and there are not many young people visiting the park.

"Nowadays, athletes are all young people, but those who are enthusiastic about sports and consciously do physical exercise are all elderly." Fei Yuanqing said to Yang Chuanfu, and then pointed to the distance for Yang Chuanfu to see, "Have you seen some people doing Tai Chi over there?" The last time I came here to play, I learned to play with them for a while, and that tall and thin man was just like you, a 'bureau seat', who had just retired from a state agency, and several other people, including retired cadres from the streets, and retired employees of companies. ”

Yang Chuanfu said with emotion: "Although some people are not big or small leaders when they are in office, whether they are military or local, after retirement, they are ordinary people, very small, they are not a tree, not a flower, but a small grass, it is precisely because the grass is low and weak that they can be closer to the earth and return to nature." ”

Fei Yuanqing smiled and said: "After you participated in the writing class of the military rest house, your speech has become more and more poetic, but flowers and plants are one year old and one withered, and people are dead and difficult to come back to life." ”

Yang Chuanfu disagreed with Fei Yuanqing's statement: "Human life is also dry and prosperous, you are 'dry', and your children and grandchildren are 'glorious'." ”

"You're right, too!" Fei Yuanqing listened to Yang Chuanfu's words and smiled again, "Millennial trees are common in the mountains, and it is difficult to find hundred-year-old people in the world. In the long river of time, we are just a drifter. I used to think about some trivial things in life, I couldn't let go, this time I was sick and hospitalized, let me understand a lot of truth, a person often thinks in my heart, if I was not cured of the disease in the last hospitalization, it may be a hundred days of death now. I am equivalent to picking up a life, the past should have been 'cleared', written off, and there are still some things that I can't think about or are obsessed with! I plan to focus on arranging my old age and living the rest of my life. The last time I went to Changping to recuperate, I also wrote another poem, and I will recite a few lines of it to you: 'If there is a glimmer of hope, I will only fight for it, and will not give up; If I had the slightest strength, I would not lie down, but would stand; If I could breathe, I would only sing, not sigh; If I'm about to die, I'll just smile, I won't cry.'" ”

Yang Chuanfu said happily: "Lao Fei, one of your illnesses and hospitalizations, compared with the past, seems to have become a different person, which impresses me, now you not only think about many difficult things, but also have a great improvement in your literary accomplishment, I suggest that you ask your fellow countrymen and old history for advice, so that it may improve faster." ”

"After I came back from Changping, Lao Shi came to my home to see me, told me about the skills of writing poetry and the issues that should be paid attention to, I was very inspired, and he also introduced me to many typical examples of how the elderly arrange their old age, and also gave me some good advice. I have known Lao Shi for many years, he seems to have no sorrow in his life, always smiling on his face, in fact, he has a lot of difficulties in life, but he can afford many things, can let go, the villagers say that he is a smart person, 'philosophers are worry-free, wise people are always happy' This sentence is very reasonable. ”

Yang Chuanfu listened to Fei Yuanqing's words: "I feel the same way as you, the old historian is well-informed and has rich qualifications, and what he said is very reasonable." The road of life is a one-way street, it is impossible to come back after walking in the past, some things in the past are useless to think too much, the elderly treat the past events, should be proud of the nostalgic feelings, frustrated do not regret, put down the burden and walk steadily, look forward with your head up. Everyone's life is like this, there are gains and losses, there are losses and gains, only by sending away today's sunset, can we usher in tomorrow's red sun. Life is like crossing the street, climbing the bridge and digging the underpass, you can get to the opposite place, you don't have to walk in one way, and everyone should not regret their choice of the way to travel, they will guide you forward. Others say that you can't block the wind, but you can adjust the sails on the boat. In fact, what they are talking about is the same meaning, that is, everyone has their own situation, and it is impossible to use the same method for everything, and it is impossible to do everything with the same result. If you want to open a little and think farther, you can take the initiative and go with the flow, pessimistic people accept the arrangement of fate every day, and optimistic people arrange their destiny every day. Remember the four principles of life: know how to choose, learn to give up, endure loneliness, and withstand temptation. ”

Fei Yuanqing nodded and said: "You said it very well, people must follow the trend and learn to adapt, if you can't turn the desert into an oasis, you have to become a cactus; If you can't turn the sea into a fertile field, try to become a fish. I now deeply understand that there are many people in the world who should be loved, and there are very few people who can be loved, especially when people reach old age, there are fewer and fewer people who contact you, and fewer and fewer people are more and more important to you, and the elderly should maintain a good relationship with fewer and fewer people, and I will not worry about some things with my son and girl in the future. ”

"People's hearts are flesh and blood, you understand your children, and your children will respect you, and I am very happy to see that you and your children, mainly with Aijun, can now understand each other, and achieve a harmonious relationship and live in harmony. People often say that blood is thicker than water, friends can share happiness with you, relatives will share pain with you, in those days when you were sick and hospitalized, I obviously felt that he was thinner after running every day. I also always believe that when the flowers bloom and fall, and when the clouds are comfortable, nothing will remain static and static. Ice is hard water, water is soft ice, and they can both be converted into each other at a certain temperature. Through your hospitalization, I also feel that Aijun is more filial and sensible than before, and no longer works against you on some things as before, of course, your attitude towards him is much gentler, and your words are not as blunt as before. In fact, people's voices have temperature, the same layer of meaning, with some words to make people feel warm, with some words to make people feel cold. ”

Yang Chuanfu said to Fei Yuanqing as he walked.

"Aijun should be kind to me now, and I will use all the money I will buy an urn to buy him a house." Fei Yuanqing said to Yang Chuanfu with a smile.

Yang Chuanfu also smiled and said: "Do you still need to save money to buy your urn, when it really comes to the day when it is used, even if Aijun has no money, he will smash the pot and sell iron, and even sell blood and kidneys, and do what a son should do." (To be continued.) )
