The "common people" of the military compound (9) (4)

Director Gou said: "The little grandson has not come recently, my daughter and son-in-law have some opinions on me because of the purchase of a house, and I think I have less money, and I hate that some old people's children use their children as bargaining chips, and make demands and conditions to the elderly, and their most cruel means of revenge against the elderly is to not let them see their grandchildren or granddaughters, grandsons or granddaughters for a long time."

Yang Chuanfu said to Director Gou: "I don't have personal experience in this area yet, but don't be angry with your daughter and son-in-law, it's not easy for young people nowadays, especially in Beijing, where there is a lot of pressure to survive." Nowadays, many elderly people can only meet the children's temporary 'luxury' with a lifetime of frugality, and when they buy a car or a house, they may use your savings for years, more than ten years, or even decades. But then again, as people of our age, if we don't spend money on our children, what can we do if we keep it? The local people, mainly non-civil servants, have to set aside some money for old age and medical treatment, and the retired cadres of the military have better medical conditions than them, and they have relatively few worries in this regard. ”

At this time, Director Gou's mobile phone rang, it was Lao Shi calling, and he said that the traffic jam on the road was very bad, and it would take a while to arrive. Director Gou stood up and told the veteran comrades who arrived first to wait patiently for a while. The retired cadres are very understanding and not in a hurry, they rarely have a chance to communicate with many acquaintances, some have time, and some have words.

Director Gou said to Yang Chuanfu: "I used to play and chat with my children in the Lotus Pond Park with Teacher Fei, and I felt that he was very upright and happy, he didn't care about everything, sometimes he thought more about things outside his body, he regretted that he should not have transferred from the army to the local area, regretted not giving too much care and care to his wife, and regretted not buying a house for his son, so that Fei Aijun is not easy to find a girlfriend now." ”

Yang Chuanfu said: "I have spent more time with him recently, and I feel the same way with you in some places, I remember someone said that when regret replaces dreams, memories replace prospects, it means that a person is really old." Those of us who first became soldiers had black hair and white hair when we were about to retire, more and more yesterday, and fewer and fewer tomorrows, but you will always have a 'today' in your hands, and learning to grasp today is a positive attitude towards life, a kind of life skills, and a kind of spiritual persistence. When I was with Lao Fei, I always felt that there was a lot of bitter water in his stomach, and he couldn't finish it, like an outcast with a happy life. I have told Lao Fei many times, in fact, everyone also has a source of happiness in their hearts, the key depends on whether you will dig it. ”

"That's true!" Director Gou said, "For a person, many times it doesn't matter whether he is happy or not, only the different mentality of your situation after comparing it with the situation of others, the person who has nothing and the person who has everything may not be happier than the person who has everything, and sometimes the beggar who gets a copper plate may be happier than the king who has a mountain of gold and silver, just like the happiness of a one-eyed man is born after he meets the blind man." Some people don't forget too much of their sadness because they have too much happiness, and some people don't have too many troubles, but they lose their happiness. ”

Yang Chuanfu said with admiration: "Director Gou, I only learned today why the leader of the military rest house asked you to be in charge of the organization of the writing class, you have the quick vision of a writer and a high degree of language generalization ability. ”

Director Gou blushed and said: "Compared with you, I am still a little behind, in fact, you have been engaged in writing work in the agency for most of your life, and you can write high-level articles without participating in this study class." ”

Yang Chuanfu laughed and said, "The two of us are calling each other praise!" ”

"Don't talk about anything else, don't forget to call me the next time you go to see Teacher Fei, we can't help him with anything else, it's okay to chat with him, it's easy to be cranky when you're alone, we talk together, you can distract him, and his questions that can't be figured out will slowly fade away after a long time." Time is a great doctor, and those wounds that were once thought to be unforgettable, those scars that they thought would never heal, will be healed or disappeared in the palm of time. ”

As soon as Director Gou finished speaking, his mobile phone rang again, and he answered the phone and said to Yang Chuanfu: "It was Officer Liu who was in charge of cultural and sports work in the military rest house who called, and he said that Lao Shi would be there soon, and let me meet him downstairs with him." ”

Although he had only been in the writing class for more than two months, Yang Chuanfu had already published two "tofu blocks" in the internal journal of the military retirement system. Zheng Lina saw that he sometimes got up from bed before dawn and wrote under the lamp, and joked at him: "I found that you practice writing manuscripts after retirement more seriously than drafting documents when you were on the job, don't exhaust the remaining brain cells when you were doing work back then." ”

Yang Chuanfu said seriously: "There is an old saying called living to learn from old age, and the elderly can only avoid dementia if they use their brains diligently." While solving as many specific life problems as possible for the old cadres, they also care about the spiritual life of the old cadres and put forward the concept of 'cultural pension', and many old cadres have signed up for different study classes, in addition to writing, photography, calligraphy, opera, painting, ------"

Zheng Lina said: "I know what you said, although it is all managed by local governments, the cultural life of retired military cadres is much better than that of retirees in the community. Several of the old ladies of our dance team are also retired cadres of your military rest center, and some of them have signed up for the study class, but they participate in the study class more as a pastime and enrich their lives, not as serious as you. ”

"Of course, I know that he is also a student of our writing class, and he has been studying for more than I have been studying."

"Listening to his wife, he also practices writing at home every day, and sometimes he doesn't sleep after three shifts in the middle of the night."

"People are like this, when they are young, they don't have time to sleep, and when they are old, they have time to sleep."

"He mostly writes poetry, right?"

"That's right!"

"The day before yesterday, Mingming's wife told me that Lao Chen spent dozens of yuan just to buy manuscript paper for more than three months, and she was so angry that she took advantage of Lao Chen's absence to deal with all his poems. When Lao Chen went home, he asked his wife, where is my poem? His wife said, I let a man who pedaled three wheels take it. Lao Chen asked his wife strangely, what do you do for him what I write, can he, a person who pedals three wheels, understand the poems I write? His wife said, I don't know if the three-wheeled person can read the mess you wrote, but after I gave him your bundle of waste paper, he gave me two seven cents. Lao Chen was anxious when he heard this, ah, you have disposed of all the poems I practiced writing as waste! ”

Yang Chuanfu was happy after listening to Zheng Lina's words, and said: "This kind of thing is very likely, the old comrades who participated in the study class studied very hard, some of them were slower to react when they got older, and some of them also achieved good results, such as my predecessor Director Cui, he retired early, and now he is resting in other military rest centers, and he will learn ------photography after retirement."

"Don't mention Director Cui's photography, you were not at home on a business trip that year, and the army organized cadres and family members and children to go to Xiangshan to play, and I also went. I gave the camera I brought to Director Cui and asked him to help take a picture of me, he seemed to be very knowledgeable, and asked me to take a picture of the whole body or half of the body, I said to take a half of the body, but the photo was washed out and looked at it, he did take a picture of my half body, the picture was the lower body, only the legs and feet. ”

"It's not what it used to be, but later he took a photography class and took a lot of good photos, and the District Military Retirement Office held a personal photography exhibition for him last year."

Zheng Lina said: "Director Cui is considered to have learned something, our upstairs Deputy Director Sun seems to be just joining in the fun, he started to learn painting not long ago, mainly painting tigers, practicing at home every day, once, his granddaughter looked at his paintings, and asked him: Grandpa, can the cat you draw catch mice?" After painting for a while, his granddaughter asked him again: Grandpa, the leeks you painted have not been fertilized, why are the leaves so thin, similar to Sanmao's hair? Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth, one day he was painting roses in the small garden of the community, and I came up to see where he was painting, but he was just applying a few dyes on a blank piece of paper. ”

"At the beginning of learning, there is this process, and my grandson has been engaged in administrative management all his life, so it is good to be able to sit down patiently." (To be continued.) )
