Saturday (October 16), three of our girlfriends went to an event together. One of the girlfriends had a deal with a company that was celebrating its anniversary, and she was able to invite two of her friends to attend, so the three of us agreed to go together.
That morning, we waited in the 339 Panda TV tower, 9:20 on time by car to Sandaoyan Qingkangshu Village, a name "in the water side" of the leisure lodge.
As soon as we got off the bus, we went straight to the restaurant to find a seat under the guidance of the person in charge. On each table, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of juice, and two two bottles of Lang crooked mouth wine.
Most of the people sitting there are old people, and the three of us are considered very young. These people, there are invited friends and companions to participate in, there are couples to participate in, there are also alone to participate in. Some of the old people brought their grandchildren, and we all gathered together, so lively.
There was a dance team that performed a fashion show and Xinjiang dance for us. In particular, when they danced Xinjiang dance and moved their necks, some of the older sisters on the stage also followed, and the lively atmosphere set off a climax. Watching them dance seriously, we can imagine that they live such a full life for the three minutes on stage as well as the ten years of work off stage.
When everyone was eating, the company leaders spoke about the lottery. What did the leaders say, I did not listen carefully, and did not listen, the mind is used in eating and drinking red wine. To be able to engage in such a large-scale activities, it is hoped that the teachers continue to invest and continue to buy products.
After lunch, the time was less than 1:00 pm, because it was 4:00 pm to take the bus back. So, everyone came to the river, some played mahjong, some drank tea and chatted, and some sat alone by the river to play with their cell phones. Some old people inquired about a nearby bus stop and took the bus back to Chengdu earlier.
The three of us girlfriends were just taking the opportunity to come out and drink tea and chat, so we were in no hurry to leave. The topic of elementary school and classmates, about each other's situation, can only be properly detailed at this time.
Such a huge gathering of people can't be accommodated in Chengdu, so it's only when we go to a big restaurant in the suburbs that we can all sit down. With such a large number of people involved, it is much cheaper to go to a leisure lodge in the suburbs to participate in the event, as opposed to Chengdu.
It is obvious that the air is fresh and refreshing. We chatted happily while listening to the laughter of playing mahjong from the side. If my mother hadn't passed away, she would have been happy to participate in such an event, actively playing mahjong with her companions.
We didn't understand why my mother was so happy to participate in these fund-raising or health-care activities, but today I feel as if I am in the middle of it.
The warmth that these well-behaved staff members bring to them, as well as these activities organized by their bosses, make them feel a renewed sense of attachment after retirement, as if they are connected to society and have a unit to accept them, as well as receive some gifts and health care products that they consider to be "free of charge" and "good for the body". The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots, and then you'll be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots.
They have "colleagues", and the joy of being with their peers is something that even the most dutiful son or daughter can't give. Therefore, they are willing to put their own life of thrift money as well as filial piety of children's money, are used to collect money, or buy some health care products, just for their own hard to find one of this organization, to bring them to such a recreational lodge to play. The exchange of some of their cheap gifts or eggs, and then to their children.
Looking back at myself, although the main focus is to take care of my father's life. For the activities of the Prose Society and Jinniu Writers' Association, also try to participate. Especially in the Jinniu Writers Association, the morning after the meeting, after lunch less than 1:00, hastily take the subway back to his father's home.
My retirement life is not the same as theirs, only they need to invest or buy health care to have an organization. Sometimes when you invest in a poorly run company, you lose your money. Perhaps this is the norm in the retirement life of regular people.
My father's house in the first ring road that house, there is a small store selling goat milk powder. There in addition to selling goat milk powder, will sell some other things. The staff will use some methods, so that the buyer fixed, sometimes everyone together to pack dumplings to eat, sometimes boiled green bean soup and silver ear soup to drink. Every time you pass by, the not-so-big room is always its happy.
If anyone had a birthday, the staff would buy a cake, the birthday girl would wear a crown, the others would sing a birthday song, and then blow out the candles and share the birthday cake together. The mother would take home her very small share of the cake and save it for her father or her own great-grandchildren. When she saw them eating it with gusto, she was happier than if she had eaten it herself.
Many elderly people pass by every day, will not tire of going in to chat, rest their feet, some will also quietly ask the staff to point more gifts.
Perhaps this is where many in society target these old people. Under the veneer of material, it is the spiritual needs of the elderly that are being met.
In Chengdu's city parks, there are many playgrounds for children, and there are three in the Jin Yuan neighborhood. And there are relatively few places for the elderly to relax. In the river park, an open field, those steps like an audience. Every day, many old people will gather in twos and threes, some playing poker, some playing chess, lively. They are in the game, to fulfill their spiritual life needs.
At 4:00 pm, the shuttle bus drove out from Leisure Village on time, and the green fields on the roadside were covered with a huge swath of golden yellow flowers, which were mistaken for spring rapeseed flowers. On second thought, it's already fall, fixed eyes, it's really golden chrysanthemum. "The fragrance of the sky is through Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor."
The golden chrysanthemums put a golden coat on the late autumn Hibiscus, bringing the beautiful autumn to Hibiscus.
