The "common people" of the military compound (6) (9)

Yang Chuanfu seemed to be anxious to talk to Cui Dalin, and interjected on the side: "Most of the farms of the troops have been handed over to the localities, and the scope of agricultural and sideline production is gradually shrinking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info However, the production in the rural areas is developing rapidly, and the enthusiasm of farmers to learn science and technology is also very high. ”

"Yes, our magazine is now mainly supporting agriculture, facing rural areas, and serving farmers, and the number of subscriptions is increasing year by year, and the economic benefits are also good." Dalin said.

"Most of your magazine's editors are young people, right?"

"Except for the editorial director, who is middle-aged, the others are all young people."

"Do you get married and start a family?"

"There are not many people who get married and start a family, but there are many who have a partner."

"The profession of editor is good, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a target?"

"Yes, the other editors have objects now, only me and Fei Aijun are still single."

Dalin replied to Yang Chuanfu's question about the household registration check, and seemed to feel that he looked at himself a little strangely.

The train started, and the couple on the opposite side were laughing with each other and teasing the children.

Yang Chuanfu felt his gaffe, smiled at Dalin and said: "I have also been away for many years, and anyone who sees a fellow villager working in Beijing will feel very cordial. ”

Cui Dalin said politely: "I understand this very well! ”

When Yang Chuanfu knew that Cui Dalin's hometown was only more than 30 kilometers away from his hometown, he said happily: "The hometowns of the two of us belong to the same city, and although they belong to two counties, the county seat from our village to your county is closer than to the county seat of our county, only more than 20 kilometers away. ”

When Cui Dalin heard Yang Chuanfu say that he went home to visit his 80-year-old mother, he said enviously: "It is fortunate and happy that people of your age can still go home often to visit their old people." My parents are both in their sixties and are not in good health, and I am worried about them and feel guilty for not being able to take care of them. ”

"As a young person, it's rare for you to think about that." Yang Chuanfu said, "I don't spend much time with the elderly when I go back to my hometown every year, but this time my mother said that she missed me, so I came back to see and stay for a few days." Originally, I thought that when I retired, I would choose a country field in my hometown, build a thatched hut, and accompany my elderly mother to spend her old age in peace and graze for the rest of her life. Now it seems unrealistic, my wife is a native of Beijing, she has her own living habits formed over the years, and she also has a certain circle of life, and when I return to my hometown, she will have to live independently in Beijing, and besides, the management units of retired military cadres often organize some activities, and I will also participate in them. When I came back these two times, I found that some of the elderly in the countryside had a very bleak evening scene, and many of their children had gone out to work. ”

"We can only imagine the loneliness of our parents, but we can't see it, because when we are in front of our parents, they will not be lonely, and when we are not in front of them, they will feel lonely." Dalin said with emotion.

"You just said that you feel guilty for not being able to accompany the elderly in your hometown often, I also feel the same way, the old people in the countryside face the loess, year after year, hard work for a lifetime, some even a disease, empty-handed, they have no other needs, that is, they hope that coarse tea and light rice, cloth and cotton, children and grandchildren around the knees, spend their old age in peace, for many old people, this has become a luxury."

In fact, the old people of your family are your Buddha, they give birth to you and raise you, determine the fate of your childhood and youth, and affect the second half of your life, which is the most worthy of your filial piety and worship. China has a very good traditional habit of relying on our parents when we are young and feeding our parents when we grow up, and if we who work outside the home can't even go home often to visit the elderly who are still alive, no matter what the reason, it is unjustifiable. A few years ago, the state put 'often go home to see' into the law, I don't know if it's a good thing or a tragedy, I feel sour about this matter, do we have to use the constraints of the law to be able to do what we should do! ”

Dalin was a little emotional, and his voice raised as he spoke.

Liang Chen, who was opposite, heard the content of the conversation between Yang Chuanfu and Cui Dalin, nodded and said: "Brother Xiao Cui is very right just now, for the elderly, it is better to burn incense after death than to have soup before death, and the children should take advantage of their health to accompany and visit more. I have always believed that we should be like a sunflower, raising our heads to the sun for warmth during the day, and bowing our heads to the earth at night to be grateful. No matter how well we do now, we can't repay our parents for their kindness to us, and I have experienced this since I had a son. When children grow up, no matter where they go, they can't get out of the world in their parents' hearts, and there is an emotional monkey band between every child and their parents. For the elderly, there are fewer and fewer important people, and the remaining people are more and more important, we sometimes ignore their existence, but they are always thinking about our growth, children are not necessarily their dependence, but they are certainly their spiritual sustenance. ”

Yang Chuanfu listened to what the two young people said, and felt very relieved.

Dalin said: "Brother Liang is very right, there is a saying that when my mother feels cold, it is always the child who puts on cotton clothes first; When a mother feels hungry, it is always the child who eats the food first. This is not false at all, the mother's trust, care, support and willing dedication to her children cannot be done by others, nor can they imagine. I heard a story about a school-going child who was on vacation and was playing in the mountains with his working mother. After a while, the child shouted 'The wolf is coming', and the mother quickly ran over and realized that the child was lying to herself. After a while, the child shouted again, 'The wolf is coming,' and the mother ran again. After shouting three times in a row, the child said to his mother, "Mom, the teacher is a deceit, and he said that no one will believe the child if he lies for the third time, so why do you believe me?" Mom said, "Wow, children shouldn't lie, but if you shout ten times, I'll run over ten times, and if you shout a hundred times, I'll run over a hundred times, maybe one of them will be true!" ”

Yang Chuanfu said with emotion to the two young people in front of him: "I used to be as young as you, and you will be as old as me in the future. Death is approaching, the environment of the two generations is different, the experience is different, and the thinking and doing on many issues are not the same, it is very important to be able to understand each other, through the conversation with you just now, I will partially change some of the previous views on young people, young people are quick to think, sharp-eyed, the vast majority of them are reasonable, open-minded, and professional, cynical and freewheeling are a few people after all, you are the hope of the country, but also the hope of our elderly.
