Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

“Mom, how can I assign work? What are you thinking?

It’s nothing more than the school organizing some activities from time to time, so that everyone can get together to exchange feelings, have fun together, and make more friends, so as to avoid being bored at home.”

"So that's how it is. I thought I could still work after graduating from the senior citizen university?"

"What are you thinking about.

Mom, if you want to graduate, you have to see what major you are studying.

Another thing is that senior citizen universities are very selective and you can learn a lot. As long as you want to learn, it may not be easy to graduate. "

"what?"

"Dad, it's true, don't you like to play chess with others recently?

The senior citizen university also has this subject. Won't you get to know more chess friends by then? If you have a lot of fun playing, why would you look forward to graduating early? Maybe you won't even want to graduate, right?"

“What is this senior citizen university for me?

So you're looking for a playmate?"

"Not really. If you really want to learn something, it's not impossible. I'm just afraid that you won't want to learn it later."

"Tsk, who are you looking down on?

Am I the kind of person who gives up halfway? "

"Yeah, my dad is really not that kind of person."

"That is."

In this way, under the arrangement of our third child, we old couple started our school life.

You know what, I couldn’t get used to it at first, but later I became just like the other kids, getting up early every day and rushing to school, for fear of being late again.

Don’t think that when you get older, the teachers at school will consider your face. In fact, it is not the case at all.

On the contrary, in some matters, he is even stricter than he is with children.

At the same time, we will also take into account everyone's self-esteem. After all, they are not children. When people reach this age, face is the most important thing.

Another thing is that after school in the afternoon, I have to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, so there is almost no free time in the day.

I no longer have the time to complain about living upstairs, but instead I rack my brains every day to find ways to complete my homework.

I was afraid that the teacher would criticize me in class for not completing my homework.

Think about it, we are all this old, and it would be so embarrassing if we didn’t complete our homework and didn’t get criticized by the teacher.

The lifestyle is becoming more and more like that of children, working hard to complete homework, to get praise from the teacher, or to feel happy for a small flower.

In order to avoid being criticized by the teacher, I have to work as hard as possible.

What’s more, because of this kind of life, my health is better than before and my life is so much happier.

In addition to choosing chess as an extracurricular activity, my husband also accompanied me to sign up for cooking lessons.

The rest were chosen based on my favorite majors. That is why I also chose to learn some traditional skills.

Even if you can't learn it well, you can still learn more, like making clothes, which you can do by yourself a long time ago.

This time I am learning embroidery and knitting classes. Don’t say it, it is not easy to learn embroidery when I am old and my eyesight is blurry.

We can only do it step by step. As for the results, let’s not talk about it. We can only say that it is just barely passing.

Fortunately, several other majors are pretty good, such as common knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.

It's nothing more than reading a book, memorizing the properties of medicines, or practicing how to do acupuncture, but this requires real effort.

Not to mention, because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is not afraid of this and he knows the acupoints like the back of his hand.

For some minor ailments, he dared to give himself acupuncture, but other students really didn't dare to do that.

There are also more activities for the elderly, such as ballroom dancing, square dancing, Tai Chi, and Tai Chi sword, all of which they will participate in.

After all, when people reach a certain age and have nothing to do, it's really good to participate in more activities and meet more people.

Isn't it just listening to my own children talking while they are busy with the work at hand.

"Since my parents started attending senior citizen university, their lives have become much richer than before!"

"You don't even need to say that. The last time I came back to visit my parents, they were so busy finishing their homework that they didn't even have time to cook. You probably wouldn't have thought that they actually learned how to order food online."

"is it?"

"That's right. Fortunately, they didn't order takeout, but food from the restaurant next to our community. Otherwise, I would really worry that they wouldn't eat healthily."

"Yes, the food in the restaurant in our community is pretty good. I've been there a few times and it tastes pretty good."

"That's good. Besides, it's been years since we've seen them fight so hard. This is good for them."

"Yes, I heard that if the elderly use their brains more, they are less likely to get Alzheimer's.

People of my parents' age are most susceptible to Alzheimer's disease, otherwise I would not have thought of sending them to senior citizens' university.

I just want them to use their brains more and do more activities.

But I never expected that after finishing one major, they would study another one, and they were not in a hurry to graduate. Instead, they seemed to enjoy it. "

"What are you in such a hurry to graduate?"

"It's really great to be in a senior citizen university. Not only can I use my hands and brain frequently, but I can also participate in many activities.

It’s much better than staying at home all day, and they can meet new friends, which is no worse than their previous life.”

"That's right, but they are getting older and older, and I am always worried about them running back and forth."

"That's true, but last time I mentioned it to the elders, I was responsible for picking them up, but they still didn't want to?

It's not that necessary, but why is it so difficult for these two old people to communicate?"

“What nonsense are you talking about?

I can only say that you are acting more and more like a child. You must not let them hear what you just said, or they will be angry with you again."

"Really? Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Don't?

You've said so much, even if I don't want to listen anymore, I'm afraid it won't work?"

"Mom, when did you come here?

I do not know how? "

"If I had told you, how could I have heard so many complaints from you?"

"Look at what you are saying. How dare I complain so much? I was just joking just now. Please don't take it seriously!"

"Really?"

"Really, more real than real gold!"

"That's more like it. I don't think you would dare to do that!"

"I dare not, I really don't dare!"

"Humph!"

"See? This old lady in our family is becoming more and more like a child."

"You know what! This is the first time I've seen our mom like this in my life!"

"Don't talk about you, this is the first time for all of us to see each other, but then again, our mom is really good like this.

It’s not like when we were in the countryside, where we worked hard just to give the three of us better food.
