On and off stage (2)

Wang Changnian's wife, Cui Lanping, is a Chinese teacher at a local middle school next to the compound of the institution, and she just retired three months ago. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wang Changnian said: "What are you afraid of, retirement is not a shameful thing, otherwise, why is it called 'glorious retirement' before!" ”

Cui Lanping said worriedly: "I didn't expect you to be an official and make a fortune before, I just hope that you will be a man and work honestly, and I don't expect you to help me do much housework in the future, I just ask you to have a good mood and good health." I've been thinking these days, what else are you going to do when you retire? I'm afraid of not using it, I'm afraid of not moving, I'm always at home but it's not good, and if I'm not sick, I'm going to hold back my illness. It turned out that Director Zhao, who lived in the building behind us, was bored after retiring the year before last, and he couldn't wait to look at the ants on the trees during the day and count the stars in the sky at night, but his body crossed in less than two years. ”

Wang Changnian also said sadly: "Some people are used to being busy all their lives, and they have nothing to do after retiring, their mentality and body are not adaptable, they are so busy that they can't die, and they are so idle that they can't guarantee their lives." Now the life of a fifty or sixty-year-old person is very fragile, a serious illness will make you deform, at least you will be asked to lose your bones and deformed, and at the worst you will be sent to Huangquan, in the past few years, there have been several retired cadres in the organs in their fifties and sixties, fuck! The younger cadres were learned by the people of Babaoshan. ”

"After retirement, cadres should have a plan for their lives, form a pattern, and form habits, and they will be fine in the future." Cui Lanping said.

Wang Changnian thought about it for a long time, and said seriously: "I'm also thinking about this problem, I've been playing with a pen for half my life, and after I retire, I can write a novel, maybe the director with poor eyes will take a fancy to it, and he can adapt it and make a movie or TV series or something." ”

Cui Lanping laughed with a "flutter": "You think drafting essays and writing novels are the same thing!" Interlaced like a mountain, for the sake of teaching, I buy so many books on literary writing and put them at home, you usually don't even bother to look at them, although it is not like some people say, 'I only know that Pushkin is more expensive than silver, Alexandre Dumas runs faster than a mule, and Maupassant can raise silkworms if he grows more', but it is not clear what is the difference between Maupassant's literary works and Mo Yan's literary works, what is the difference between novels and prose, and can still write novels? Besides, a lot of people who write novels nowadays, under the age of 30, and the content is below the waistband of their trousers, do you dare to write them? Can you write? If you put in the effort, you may be able to write something, but it can't be called a novel, it can only be called a study, and sending it out can enrich the wastebasket of newspaper and literary editors. ”

"The first plan was shot!" Wang Changnian pretended to be dejected and said, "Otherwise, I will learn to paint, the director Qin upstairs is to learn to paint after retirement, although the tigers he painted are similar to domestic cats, orchids and thatch, but he himself looks happy, and he also sent the paintings everywhere, and the day before yesterday he also asked me to take the time to go to his house to pick up the paintings." ”

"I've heard about this too, and he likes to see his paintings hung up by others, and the 'heirlooms' pollute the snow-white walls of several relatives and friends' homes." Cui Lanping said and laughed. After a while, he stopped laughing and said to Wang Changnian, "You can't always make up your mind in the house, you have to go out with your legs open and move outside." ”

"Then I'll open a company, run a business, and do business."

"No, no, you usually don't even pay back the price when you buy things, and you always feel sorry when you see others making less money, and you will still do business? It's okay to do business, and our family's savings are estimated to be lost by you in a few days. ”

"How did you discourage me?" "Otherwise, when my son has a child, I will help you take care of your grandson, and you will be responsible for feeding the milk and washing diapers, and I will tell them the 'story of a long, long time ago.'" ”

Cui Lanping hurriedly waved her hand: "I told you just now, arranging things can't always be separated from home, you have to go outside to move your muscles." Even if you need a helper to take your children in the future, I won't look for you, your son is a generation behind you, you can't take it well, two people can't talk all day long, they often quarrel, your son's children are two generations behind you, and you can't take it well. ”

Wang Changnian looked dazed: "According to what you say, I will become a waste after I retire!" ”

"Don't be sad, old man, can waste be used, you are tired of activities outside, come home and give me a hand, such as shabu a bowl, choose a dish or something, I won't dislike you if you do it well or badly." Cui Lanping joked with her husband.

"I don't have to be the director outside, I can't even be a parent at home, I have to listen to your command everywhere, so I won't do it!" Wang Changnian shook his head again and again.

"Then you can arrange it yourself, and do whatever you want, such as chatting with old friends during the day and doing aerobics in the big playground at night."

"It's not appropriate to chat with someone, everyone has their own arrangements, I can't influence others, there are not many friends like Liu Yicheng in the agency after all. The old men and old ladies doing aerobics in the compound were jumping up and down all day long, and the demons were dancing wildly, and I was annoyed when I saw it. ”

"If you say that, it's going to be difficult, or you can go around Tiananmen Square every day, ride a bicycle or walk, and you can exercise and see the scenery along the way."

Wang pondered for a while and said, "It's a good idea, it's too slow to walk and it's too crowded to ride, so I choose to ride a bicycle." ”

As the sun set, the night was twilight, and the outline of the dormitory building in the barracks of the army compound gradually blurred, Liu Yicheng's lover Zhuo Yuying returned home from work, turned on the light switch, and saw Liu Yicheng sitting on the sofa alone with a straight face.

"What's going on again?" Zhuo Yuying asked him strangely.

Liu Yicheng turned his head to look at Zhuo Yuying and did not answer.

Zhuo Yuying has a quick mouth and a sharp tongue, are half-old, and they look much younger than they are. She used to be a cadre of a state organ, and later went to the sea to do business, and the private company she now works for "changes places with one shot", and even Liu Yicheng can't figure out what kind of business it undertakes. Although the work unit is informal, the benefits are good, and her daughter goes to school abroad and buys high-end cars, mainly relying on Zhuo Yuying's high income. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and in this family, the parent Liu Yicheng "listens to the government", and Zhuo Yuying has the final say in everything. Zhuo Yuying looks down on those middle- and lower-level cadres in the organs the most, they are full of poverty and sourness, and they have a stinky shelf, and if the cadres at the bureau and department level go to other places, they can still be regarded as "officials", pretending to be pretending and pretending to be powerful, and scaring and scaring the people. In the city of Beijing, it was a broom lump put on a fish plate, which was not a dish. In the past few years, Zhuo Yuying's money has become more and more, her temper has grown bigger and bigger, she will send a nameless fire at every turn, and there are a lot of stinky rules, she asked Liu Yicheng not to brush her teeth during the day, not to eat during the day, not to wash her feet at night, not to go to bed, and to go to the balcony to smoke. "As soon as I got home, it was like going to a labor camp," Mr. Liu once told Mr. Wang. "Of course, the cadre of labor re-education is Zhuo Yuying, and I can only be the target of labor re-education." The king said to him sympathetically for many years: "If you are upset, come to my house and talk, and you should be a prisoner who comes out to let loose." ”

"Who the hell messed with you?" Zhuo Yuying also sat down on the sofa next to Liu Yicheng and asked him anxiously.
