Chapter 1775: Chapter 1775: A Dream of Nanke (second request for monthly pa.s.s)

The man was very old. According to his information, he was almost ninety years old.

It was said that he was very taciturn in the nursing home and did not like to partic.i.p.ate in group activities.

Apart from eating, sleeping, and looking at the scenery, he read books every day.

His children were also old and could not visit him often, and his grandchildren came even less often.

Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng walked over with the group of volunteers.

They were new here, so they watched the others do what they were told and followed the rules.

Gu Nianzhi observed them for a while and realized that there didnt seem to be any set rules.

The volunteers talked to the elderly people in the nursing home in groups of two or three, played games, played cards, played mahjong, and sang, sang, played the erhu, and played the pipa. They were like eight immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their own abilities.

Gu Nianzhi was amazed.

She whispered to Huo shaoheng, The people who come to see these old people are all middle-aged and old

No young people came to the old peoples home to volunteer.

Huo shaoheng said calmly, People have a sense of compa.s.sion, especially when they are about to enter old age.

Gu Nianzhi nodded and followed him slowly on the lawn in front of the old peoples home.

The lawn was lush and green. As they walked, the early morning dew drenched her and her pants.

When they reached the tree where the man was staying, Gu Nianzhi smiled and handed him a book that they had prepared. h.e.l.lo, were from the volunteer group. Youre in a good mood today.

Gu Nianzhi was very good with her words. She didnt care whether the man replied or not. She practically forced the book onto the mans lap, she continued, This book is very interesting. Its a novel that was written decades ago. Are you interested?

The person heard this and pushed her book to the ground indifferently. He said stiffly, Im not interested. I never read novels.

Gu Nianzhi almost couldnt control her expression. You never read novels? ! Then what do you do in Your Spare Time?

The man frowned. What do you care what I do in my spare time?

There was really no way to talk today..

Gu Nianzhi blinked and quickly changed the subject. Its not about me. Im just curious. Sir, what were you reading just now?

The Mans face relaxed slightly. He lowered his head and said, Ants move. What can I see under the tree? Only ants move, of course.

Gu Nianzhi walked over and bent down to follow the ants under the tree.

The ants were busily moving things into a pile of loose soil under the tree.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, theyre moving to the Great Huai an kingdom, arent they?

The man looked up and looked at Gu Nianzhi in surprise. His voice had softened and was no longer as stiff as before. He asked, You know the Great Huai an kingdom?

I do.Gu Nianzhi straightened her body and stood under the tree, with her hands behind her back, she said, It was a dream from Nanke. Chunyu accidentally entered the Great Huai an kingdom in his dream and married the princess as his son-in-law. He had five sons and two daughters and was a prominent official. When he woke up, he realized that he had just had a dream. The so-called Great Huai an kingdom was just an ant hole under the Great Huai Tree in front of his house.

Yes, life is just a dream, an empty joy.The man let out a long sigh and became even more depressed.

Gu Nianzhi saw that he seemed to be very moved, she immediately took the opportunity to ask, Why do you say that? I feel that life is not a dream. Although everyone will eventually return to the dust and return to the earth, the meaning of life is not in the results, but in the experience.

The man looked up and smiled at Gu Nianzhi. He said very kindly, Its so interesting to talk to young people. They are indeed full of vitality. A newborn calf is not afraid of a Tiger

Gu Nianzhi:

She really wanted to take a mirror to look at herself. was there something wrong with the modification on her face.

Huo shaoheng said quietly, We are also quite old. Although we are younger than you, we are still quite far from the word young.

Haha, Is That So?The Mans eyes were a little cloudy, and he couldnt really see Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaohengs faces clearly.

However, because he couldnt see their faces clearly, he wasnt fooled by their disguises.

However, from Gu Nianzhis voice, the speed and tone of her speech, and the natural vitality in her words, the man concluded that the woman in front of him was only in her early twenties.

However, since Huo Shaoheng said that they were old, this person did not expose him.

He only looked at Gu Nianzhi and said to her, Can you please push me back? Ill treat you to some tea.

Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded. Sorry to bother you then. Were here with the volunteer group today, and its our first time here. What do you usually do with the Volunteers? Do you want to play cards?

She pushed the mans wheelchair and walked towards the building of the nursing home.

This nursing home was a very high-end nursing home in C city.

The building had elevators, and there were several professional nurses stationed on each floor. There were also doctors who regularly came to check on the elderly.

Each elderly person had their own small suite, less than 30 square meters, but with a bedroom, living room, and bathroom. There was no kitchen.

Food was delivered on time every day.

Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng pushed the old man up to his floor, all the way to his small suite.

The old man stood up from his wheelchair, leaned on his cane, and asked shakily, What kind of tea do you like? I have green tea, black tea, coffee, and fruit juice.

Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng actually didnt know how to eat or drink the things here, but they still said politely, Ill do it. What kind of tea do you want?

The old man nodded and smiled. Thank you, then. Id like black tea.

Gu Nianzhi saw a row of cabinets facing the wall in the corner of the living room. There was a coffee machine and a water heater on the counter below.

Gu Nianzhi boiled some water and brewed some tea. She placed it in front of the old man and found a bag of m.u.f.fins in the cabinet. She opened it and brought it over on a plate.

The old man was very happy and said, Black Tea with m.u.f.fins is also good. In the early years, we all ate b.u.t.tercream, put it on our bread, and Colombian black coffee.

C city had always been the Huaxia Empires earliest international city, and it had also been the largest city.

The people here were well-informed, especially the older generation. Many of them had experienced traveling overseas in the early years.

The old man in front of her had had such an experience.

Gu Nianzhi smiled as she sat opposite him. She swirled a cup of green tea in her hand, but did not drink it. She asked, What did you do in the past? You must have gone abroad, right?

I came back from studying abroad.The old man opened his mouth and began to chat with Gu Nianzhi. There were many people who went abroad at that time, and many came back. We didnt want to stay abroad.

Yes, yes, yes. Its better to stay at home.Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly. What major did you study? Did you work here after you came back?

I studied mechanical manufacturing. After I came back, I taught at the university here until I retired.The old man recalled the past and smiled more, Are you young people interested in things that happened so long ago?

Of course Im interested!Gu Nianzhis eyes seemed to glow, and her expression was very infectious, Im very interested in that era! A few decades ago, there was a big change in policy, and everything was different. Reform, opening up, it was really something!

Oh, reform and opening upthe old man chuckled, obviously not as enthusiastic as before.

Gu Nianzhi noticed the change in the old mans mood and her heart skipped a beat, she said, Thats right, reform and opening up is a huge opportunity. Look at how many rich people have been created. From the initial 10,000 Yuan family to the current one million Yuan family, theyre not considered rich. Theyve only started from 10,000,000 yuan. Its really a world of Change

World of Change ? HahaThe Old Man laughed again. Its not a good thing to expand the yearning for wealth in peoples hearts.

Its inevitable,Gu Nianzhi said perfunctorily, trying to figure out how to bring the topic to Qin Huichangs family.

Huo Shaoheng took a sip of his coffee, he said calmly, Yes, putting too much emphasis on the pursuit of wealth is indeed not conducive to social stability. Especially in the early days, people often had the opportunity to get rich. Its already very difficult now.

Get rich quicklythe old man seemed to have thought of something. He muttered to himself and said regretfully, Yes, get rich quickly but some people just dont have that kind of Fate!

Gu Nianzhi perked up when she heard that and quickly said, If he doesnt have that kind of fate, then it means he doesnt have the opportunity to get rich quickly. Whats there to regret?

You cant say that.The old man put on a chatterbox and spoke sincerely to Gu Nianzhi, I used to have a colleague whose family owned a piece of land in Z City in the south. You know, back then, Z city was just a small fis.h.i.+ng village. Having a piece of land there was nothing.

But he suddenly sold that piece of land. In less than half a year, that piece of land was encircled in the special economic zone of Z City. It was instantly worth a hundred times more!

Gu Nianzhi was excited and tried her best to suppress her emotions. She asked carefully, Your colleague has land in Z City? Why did he suddenly sell it? Is He regretting it now?

The old man looked even more regretful. He shook his head and said, He wont have a chance to regret it. Not long after he came back from z city, his family of three was. .h.i.t by a car accident and died.

They didnt even see the land take off.
