Giving Veterans a Home Chapter 1 Leisure
Wang Quan got up slowly, washed his face slowly, and it was already half past ten in the morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He sat down on the sofa in the living room, lit a cigarette in his mouth, and took a few puffs, and the pale blue smoke immediately enveloped his thin body. Wang Quan looked old, just fifty-six years old, and his hair was frosty and snowy, and his face was full of ravines.
"Hey! Old woman, do you have anything else to eat? Wang Quan puffed on a cigarette in his mouth and shouted at his wife who was drying clothes on the balcony.
His wife Wang Yueying did not stop the work in her hands, and said without twisting her head: "You are full of smoking, and you still eat!" ā
"People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."
"You haven't eaten in the morning for so many years, and you haven't seen this 'iron' rust."
"Isn't it carrying it again!" Wang Quan pulled the cigarette off his mouth and said to his wife, "I used to skip meals in the morning, because I was busy with work and didn't have time to eat, but now that I'm retired, I don't dare to say that there are other things, but I have time." Didn't you always tell me that skipping meals in the morning is not good for your health? I'm going to change my ways! ā
Wang Yueying said angrily: "Since you retired, you have been surfing the Internet, playing poker every night, smoking and sleeping during the day, and your life has become more and more irregular. ā
"Didn't I just retire for a short time? From on-the-job work to retirement, there is always a process of adjustment and adaptation. ā
"What do you mean it's not a long time? It's been eight months. Eight months! If a woman gets pregnant when you retire, it's time to have a baby. ā
Wang Quan was not happy, extinguished the butt of the cigarette and said, "Old woman, can you speak better?" ā
Wang Yueying finished drying her clothes, walked into the living room with a big basin and said, "I'm afraid that good words won't be poured into your ears and eyes." If you look at Staff Officer Wei of the People's Planning Bureau, he retired later than you, and now he has found another job outside, and I heard that he can get seven or eight thousand yuan a month, which is more than the retirement fee. ā
"He knows English and can translate materials for others, and my English level is only known to have J, Q, and K, do you think I can compare with him?"
"If you don't play poker, you probably don't even know these letters?"
"Do you see that my current retirement fee is not enough, and you want to get me out and earn you some extra money?"
"You're not too old, you should go out and make some money, that's not called extra money, it's called normal income. Most of the retired cadres of other military units have bought affordable housing, what will we use to buy it in the future? With the little money we have saved at home, it's about the same as buying a kitchen. ā
"I don't have to worry about buying affordable housing, retired military cadres will hand over their houses to local governments for management when they buy their own houses, and I have a deep affection for the army, and I don't want to leave the army yet. Besides, although the area of the apartment we live in now is not too large, it is okay, pay a few hundred yuan of rent every month, plus more than 100 yuan of water and electricity bills, and don't worry about anything else, how good is this, after buying affordable housing in the future, it will cost a lot of money to pay the property fee alone. ā
"Didn't you say that the couple who live upstairs in our house always fight, and you often can't sleep because of the noise, and you also said that the bathroom floor of their house is not properly handled, and it always leaks water to our house, and this house is unlivable, how can you say that this house is good now?"
"yes, I said this house is not very good." Wang Quanli is endless, "However, people will have a gradual process of adapting to the environment!" I now think that the fight between the people upstairs actually doesn't have much effect on us, and listening to them smash pots and bowls at night, quarrel and scold, so as not to be lonely when you can't sleep. Their house leaked water to our house, and it was leaking dirty water, which should not be a good thing, alas, if only the ceiling could leak Maotai and Wuliangye! ā
"If you leak 'cloud smoke' and 'Great China' again, it's better, you have all the smoke and drink." Wang Yueying saw Wang Quan's smiling face, and counted him down angrily, "Even local workers don't retire until they are 60 years old, and it is too early for military division cadres to retire when they are in their fifties. It's okay if you don't go out to find something to do now, live a more organized life at home, don't still turn black and white upside down like before, and in the future you will collapse your body and lose your personal wealth, haven't you listened to others, you are not afraid of making less money, you are afraid of leaving early. Opposite the upper floor, Deputy Director Zeng also retired half a year ago, as soon as he retired, he went to the university for the elderly, and participated in several study classes at the same time, and now his health is not only better than in the past, but also has grown his ability. ā
"Hey, what's that skill for?" Wang Quan lit another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and snorted unconvinced, "I have seen the calligraphy he wrote, and if it is sent to the elementary school teacher, one of the ten may not be able to draw a red circle; The level of his erhu is even more flattering, similar to the level of the beggar in the underpass across the street, the difference is that the beggar asks for some change and walks away, and he makes noise on my head every day, so that I can't sleep well; His voice is even more sinister, and he roars twice and sings? If his pronunciation is also called singing, his song must be that pigs do not grow meat when they listen to it, chickens do not lay eggs after listening to it, and people will be nervous when they listen to it; By the way, he also learned to draw, and since the tiger he painted was pasted on the wall, all the rats in our compound were so frightened that they fled outside with their families. ā
"There are some things that you don't have the ability to do yourself, and you use mean words to sarcastically mock others. The emphasis is on participation, and people are not ready to hold calligraphy and painting exhibitions, practicing calligraphy and learning to paint is an endless fun; People don't plan to participate in vocal competitions, learning to play erhu and sing, which is an elegant hobby. If you participate in more such activities, you can cultivate your sentiment and cultivate your self-cultivation. If you don't want to go to a senior college, you can help me with some housework at home. If you look at the staff officer Dong of Unit 3, when he was in office, he always went on a business trip to other places, and when he returned home, he was the shopkeeper and didn't care about anything. Now that I'm retired, I can't be idle every day, the electric fan and TV at home, the small three-wheeler of my wife, and my daughter's bicycle are repaired by myself if they are broken. ā
Wang Quan said disdainfully: "Lao Dong can repair everything, but his son can't repair it." After his son graduated from junior college, he didn't look for a job, he started to make tea at home, and then went out to club, and last year he began to grow up, learned to pick up girls, and often brought home girls who were dressed strangely. On several occasions I saw the girl who had come back with him bare-chested, bare-chested, and there were no inches of cloth on her body except for the elastic band, and if all the other women wore clothes like her, the cotton farmers in our hometown would have lost their jobs. Lao Dong is like an owl in a tree, turning a blind eye to his son's affairs. If our son is like his son, I will definitely not let the little ladies he brought back into the house, and let such a woman dangle in front of me every day, isn't it similar to looking at ***, polluting the eyes and corroding the mind. ā
"Why haven't I seen the girl his son brought back, I have let you see it, do you pay special attention to that kind of woman? In addition, I don't know what *** level 4 tablets look like, other people's sons haven't been repaired, how is your own son repaired? Nian Jun called back yesterday and said that this job is not suitable now, and if he wants to change units, he always wants to find a job with a decent job and more money, where is there such a good thing. All your life, you have engaged in propaganda and education, and you have often gone to the army to explain great truths to young people, but the result is that you have fattened other people's fields and wasted your own land. ā
Wang Yueying's words stabbed Wang Quan's sore spot, he strangled half of the cigarette that he hadn't finished smoking, stood up and said: "My son is not angry, unproductive, and the responsibility can't be borne by me alone, I knew that he was this virtue when he grew up, I would have let you take some fetal pills, and spill him out with a soak of urine." He doesn't cherish his job now, he always looks at the mountain and looks at the mountain, and waits to drink the northwest wind in the future, which is only available in winter. Otherwise, you have to wait for the pie to fall from the sky, and you have to work hard to poke a hole in the blue sky before waiting for the pie to fall from the top. Okay, you stay at home alone and keep nagging, I'll go out for a walk! ā
"Wait, eat something before you go out!" Wang Yueying put down the basin, went to the kitchen and brought out a plate covered with a small aluminum basin, put it on the coffee table in the living room, turned around and went into the kitchen to bring out a bowl of noodle soup and a plate of side dishes.
Wang Quan opened the aluminum basin and saw that it was a yellow-baked dough cake, so he unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and said while eating: "My son will only make me angry, or my wife cares about me." ā
Wang Yueying said expressionlessly: "I don't care about you, I care about myself, if you have a disaster or illness, don't you have to serve me!" ā
"That's the same, you have to continue to care more about your 'self' in the future."
Seeing that Wang Quan was eating deliciously, Wang Yueying sat on the sofa on the side and continued to enlighten him: "As the saying goes, I am hungry and eat a lot of steamed buns, and I have a lot of work. You've been resting at home for so long, go out and find something serious to do, let's not try to make more money, and want to have a regular life. ā
Wang Quan chewed the food in his mouth and said: "I also think it's boring to be idle at home, but like us, we have no relationship, no technology, and no energy, and it's not easy to find a suitable thing to do, if you can't find a suitable thing, I'd rather be idle at home." Dafeng, the old assistant of our department, couldn't find a suitable thing to do after retirement, and took out a deposit of 60,000 yuan a few years ago to follow others to speculate in stocks, although he didn't understand the market, but the blind cat bumped into a dead mouse, and earned more than 20,000 yuan in the first year, and in the second year, he took his wife to speculate, and lost more than 30,000 yuan in less than half a year. In the stock market, some people lead the cow, and some people pull the pile, they neither lead the cow nor pull the pile, but just step on the cow, and even the shoes are stuck by the cow. As a result, the mood of the old couple is getting lower and lower, and the blood pressure of one person is getting higher and higher, and they began to speculate in stocks, and then quarreled, and now they can only stay at home together to stir fry. ā
Wang Yueying saw that her words would not work on her husband after she said them, so she sighed and stood up helplessly.
