The "common people" of the army compound (xi) (2)

Director Gou nodded and said to Fei Yuanqing: "When you said this just now, I seemed to see your demeanor on the three-foot podium again. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info What we say is from the heart, there are some things in the world that you can lead, and there are some things that cannot be transferred by your will, even if you make great efforts, you can't change its course, you can't make it perfect according to your wishes, and sometimes, it may form another phenomenon, that is, you want to gain something, but lose something. Therefore, our attitude towards everything should be to have the greatest hope, do our best, prepare for the worst, not be happy with things, not be sad for ourselves, go with the flow, be at peace with the situation, look down on the vicissitudes of the world, and be safe and sound. ”

Fei Yuanqing listened to Director Gou's words, stretched out his thumb and said, "What Director Gou said is also very reasonable!" ”

Director Gou then said to Fei Yuanqing: "The elderly should learn to recall the past with the least regret and look forward to the future with the most hope. It's impossible not to think about the past, you have to think as little as possible, and you have to think about something that makes you happy, sweet memories don't need costs, but luxuries that you can entertain yourself, as some people say, happiness is not everything perfect, but less thinking about those imperfections. We should spend more time thinking about the future, thinking about how to make our body recover as soon as possible, thinking about how to arrange our life in old age, you are in your sixties, and you still have a long way to go! ”

Fei Yuanqing waved his hand and said: "I have a different view on the last sentence you said, the future is infinitely better, but unfortunately people are old, like our age, we only believe that life is short, and we don't believe that the future will be long." ”

Yang Chuanfu continued the topic of Director Gou: "I also think Director Gou is very reasonable, people are often like this, when you envy others in some aspects, you are also envied by others in some aspects. I'll give you an example, I only have one daughter, and I'm far away, I have children and daughters, and they're all in front of me, my wife and I, because of different hobbies and different ranges of activities, I am often the only one at home, and sometimes I feel lonely and lonely. However, I thought that my daughter would return to China, start a family, have children, and enjoy family fun with my wife, so I was looking forward to the future. In other words, I don't feel lost, even if it's only one person at home, I should always smile at myself in the mirror. How long is the road of life for the elderly, no one can say, should live every day now, there is only a way back in the world, there is no bridge that cannot be crossed, even if it is a disaster, there is nothing great, if you can't see the sun tomorrow, you can appreciate today's moon; If you can't eat tomorrow's breakfast, try today's dinner. Director Gou may not know that Lao Fei's son Aijun recently talked about a virtuous and capable girlfriend------"

Fei Yuanqing blushed, stopped Yang Chuanfu's words and hurriedly said: "Don't mention my son's search for a girlfriend, I'll be angry when I mention it, I have waited for him for thirty years, and now he wants to bring me back a divorced woman as a daughter-in-law, and this woman also brought someone else's child." ”

Yang Chuanfu said: "Lao Fei, the feudal remnants in your head have not been cleared, divorced women have experienced a marriage, they will be very cautious and serious about the second choice, and they will also live a family life that has been regained." Aijun married his daughter-in-law home, her son is your grandson, your daughter took your little grandson away, you are lost and distressed, and now your son has brought back a lively eldest grandson, what are you unhappy about? ”

Director Gou also echoed Yang Chuanfu and said: "Teacher Fei, don't think about it, if Aijun finds a young woman who has never been married and gives birth to a child in three years or two years, will you still have the energy and physical strength to feed you and water, wipe feces and urine like you did with Xiao Xiao back then?" ”

"If I had a grandson, I would take care of him even if I worked hard." Fei Yuanqing said unconvinced.

Yang Chuanfu said: "If you want to hold your grandson, you can also have a grandchild, now that the country's 'single two-child' policy has been liberalized, and the full release of the second child is not far away, and the patriotic army can have another child at that time." ”

"According to the current policy, remarried couples are not only children, and they can have another child if they have one. What I just meant is that those of us who are older may not have the ability and energy to take care of our children. Director Gou added what he had just said. For us, taking grandchildren is just an obligation and fun, in the future, we will mainly rely on the society to support the elderly, and sons may not be able to count on it, can we still count on grandchildren? Whether the grandson is born to the son or brought by the daughter-in-law, as long as it adds to the fun, you should be happy. ”

Fei Yuanqing said to two old friends: "The two of you are bitter for me today, and you are kind and persuasive, in fact, I understand some truths, and I will say the same thing when I persuade others, but some things will not be able to think about it for a while." ”

Director Gou said: "Comrade Lao Shi is also very concerned when he hears that you are hospitalized, he is very busy now, in addition to writing articles by himself, he also has to go to several places to give lectures, he said that he will come to see you when he has time, chat with you, brag." ”

Fei Yuanqing happily said to Yang Chuanfu and Director Gou: "You thank him in person on my behalf, don't let him come to the hospital, I may be discharged in two days, I will call him again after discharge, we had better meet in the park in the future." ”

As soon as Yang Chuanfu and Director Gou walked out of the ward building, Yang Chuanfu looked into the distance and suddenly said to Director Gou: "I'm sorry, you go back first, I saw a person over there who seems to be my fellow villager Cui, I'll go say hello to him and say a few words." ”

Director Gou nodded and left first.

The person Yang Chuanfu saw just now was really his fellow countryman Cui.

"------ are you here," Yang Chuanfu asked him.

"Lao Fang was sick a few days ago, and he has been observed in the intensive care unit for two days, and he is a little better today, and he will be transferred to the general ward, and I will come to see him." Lao Cui said.

Yang Chuanfu was startled, thinking to himself, the intensive care unit of the hospital, which is the place where the living can apply for passports to go to the underworld, Lao Fang must be seriously ill. hurriedly asked Lao Cui: "He was fine at the last villager party, why did he suddenly get sick?" ”

"Isn't that the case when people get old, the shoes they take off tonight may not be able to wear tomorrow morning. After Lao Fang got sick, I have been here a few times, and I asked me not to talk about his hospitalization with other fellow villagers first. ”

"I'm also here to see the doctor's number, just came out of the ward, let's go, let's go see Lao Fang together, you wait here for a while, I'll go to the commissary to buy some fruit."

Lao Cui stopped Yang Chuanfu, raised the bag in his hand and said, "I have it, I don't need to buy it anymore." ”

On the way to the ward, Lao Cui said to Yang Chuanfu: "Most of the children of our generation are only children, and those of you who raise daughters are lucky. Otherwise, how can people say that the daughter is the little padded jacket of the parents, and the son, hey, is not even a wool vest. Lao Fang was a few years older than us and caught up with two children, however, both were boys. After Lao Fang became seriously ill, the eldest son rarely came, but the second son often came, but he left after a while, as if his father's myocardial infarction was a virulent infectious disease, and now Lao Fang is taken care of by one of his nephews who works in Beijing. ”

Yang Chuanfu didn't agree with Lao Cui's statement, and told him: "Whether children are filial piety or not does not depend on whether they are men or women, girls are more careful than boys, this is a common phenomenon." (To be continued.) )
