After retirement, the heart is more or less lost, every day to walk around the circle is still a little bit not quite accustomed to, feel very monotonous. "Hey, life is only left to walk around." From time to time, some people sigh. However, those of us who have retired, are useless, do not walk in circles, what else can do?
A retired teacher for many years said to us, you are not accustomed to the life of the retired, take a good rest, get good health is our task, do not think about anything else.
Of course, we don't have to rely solely on walking laps to practice our health, but we can also go fishing, play ball, play chess and cards, etc. However, an old friend who was a secondary school physical education teacher argued that walking laps is the safest and the most effective way for the elderly to do physical activities. He took the initiative to organize us to walk in circles together, with him leading the group in front and a long line of us following behind, either fast or slow, either sharply or slowly, sometimes doing some gymnastic movements while walking. The content of the walking circle became rich, we slowly out of the law, into the realm, out of the interest, after feeling relaxed and comfortable.
So, more and more people to participate in the walking circle, forming a landscape on the square, we come to the square early according to the agreed time. Walking in circles together also often gossip about the situation of some old acquaintances, from time to time to hear, someone went to see God, someone cerebral thrombosis, hospitalized. We analyze their habits together and agree that they lack physical exercise. Also agreed that we walk around every day is not only to kill the boredom of time, but also the need for our life.
Walking for a period of time, everyone's body has seen the results, I'm more so, waistline thinning, many years of allergic bronchitis did not recur, a new checkup, the original moderate fatty liver disappeared, all the indicators are very normal, the whole body feel relaxed and energetic. We all said with confidence: this way to go on, the old disease will be removed, the new disease will not come.
Indeed, every day walking circle, has become our habit of life, if something delayed that day, the heart will feel sorry and regret. Therefore, no matter how hot or cold, we will insist on continuous, even if it is raining, we raise an umbrella, but also come together to walk in circles.
One day, Kyung's arrival made me interrupt my circle walking. The Beijing is my childhood partner, middle school when he quit school, to the northeast Xiaoxing'anling forest as a lumberjack. After the reform and opening up, the forest can not, he brought the whole family to the city where I live. He opened a store, good luck, and soon made a small fortune, and his son also became a family and had his own business. He came to my house in the Spring Festival and told me that he had made some money and bought several commercial properties, and that the rent was enough to feed him for the rest of his life. He said he didn't want to do it anymore, he had worked hard in the forest for his whole life, suffered for his whole life, and only now when he was old did he completely turn over a new leaf, he wanted to enjoy himself in his old age. A few days later, he entrusted the store to his son, and came to walk laps with me.
However, after only a few walks, he got annoyed and couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing, saying it was meaningless, so he stopped coming. After a period of time, he came to me again, he said that his hometown township government to attract investment, where he and others built a textile factory, the purchase of a number of new textile machinery, will soon be installed and debugging, he knows that I am engaged in mechanical, and would like to ask me to go to help.
This kind of age, the economy has just turned over, he almost took out all his savings, and go to invest in business, very worried about him a little bit, his family began to oppose. But I also admire his courage, he can not be idle, want to do something in his old age, I should go to help him.
Daughter knows firmly opposed, she said to me, what are you going to do, you do not lack of money to spend, we do not want you to leave us how much money, we do not want to do the children of the old man's greatest hope is to take care of the body, the old man's health is good, but also alleviate the burden of young people. She asked me to insist on walking around every day and not doing anything else.
But Jing explained that the elderly to do what they can, not for the money, but also a spiritual support, but also to adjust the physical and mental health, he insisted that I go with him, after the installation of equipment factory production, let me come back.
So I stopped walking around every day and came to the township. The installation of the equipment went well, and the textile factory went into operation, but Kyung changed his mind. There seemed to be a lot of problems in the factory, and Kyo was so busy that he wouldn't let me come back, he asked me to help him manage the equipment and train a mechanic.
However, winter is coming, there is no heating in the house, I have been cured for many years of bronchitis again, coughing, Jing can not help but tell me, you'd better go back to walk in your circle.
After coming back, we went to the square to walk in circles. The people walking around more and more, not only the elderly, many middle-aged and young people also added. Plaza management has installed a set of sound, playing all kinds of beautiful dance music, everyone according to the music beat walk, the pace of neat, more to the spirit. Look at it, a long Dachuan people, each head high, spirited, around the square, in the sound of music lightly jumping, highlighting the power of life and enjoyable.
Slowly, walking in circles almost dissolved into my whole life, sitting at home at the computer desk for a long time, I always turn on the stereo, play a piece of dance music, according to the rhythm of the music, in the living room in the walking circle. The rhythmic geometry of the music controls my entire life, and as soon as I get up, even if I'm just standing there, my body will sway rhythmically and easily. I do laundry, cook and wash dishes, and my hands are often in rhythmic motion as well. Lying in bed at night, I gently rubbed my abdomen and seemed to ease into dreamland to the sound of music vaguely.
A few years later, I suddenly heard that Kyung was sick, and I hurried to see him. The first time I saw him was when he was in the hospital, and he had just come back from Beijing.
"The factory just a year on the bankruptcy, a lifetime of saving money are hitching a ride, he was heartbroken panic, a few times want to die, this is how the disease got." Jing's old partner told me.
"He has long felt bad chest, we have to send him to the hospital to check, he does not go. He did not believe that he would be sick, when he was young, good health, in the forest to carry large wood who can not do him. He was also busy, the factory opening has not gone well, every day he invited people to eat and drink, his heart was not happy." Jing's son went on to say.
"Hey, do what the factory, save those money enough to use his life, every day to eat and drink walk around how good." Jing's old partner like talking to himself, but also like to me.
I consoled Jing for a while, he grabbed my hand tightly, "I really regret, when I did not do anything, every day with you to walk around how good."
The last time I saw Kyung, was in the hospital, it was only his last breath, I put my ear to his face, he said to me, "What are you still here for, walk your circle."
I still go to walk in circles, my old partner originally liked to play cards, and now also every day with me to walk in circles. One off work to climb there on the Internet daughter and son-in-law also changed their habits, often in the evening with us to go to the circle, the square to go to the circle more and more people, almost into a sea of people.
One night, because of a sudden change, I did not go to walk in circles, I fell on the bed, in a haze I went to visit God. God was obviously displeased with my arrival, and when I was about to step into the doorway of heaven, he stopped me with a hand.
What are you doing here, go walk your circle.
