Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Yes, we all receive pensions, but we don’t get as much as they do. However, just the fact that we, the two of us, live in a house of our own, how many people would not envy us for this alone.

You are just sitting there, showing off all the time, not afraid that others will trap you behind your back.

I really don't know what to say to you. You'd better stop causing hatred.

Don't look back, if you really get caught, will you regret it?"

"Who dares to put a sack on me at this time without even checking whether those surveillance cameras are just for show?

It is said that times are changing rapidly, how many years has it been?

In the past, everyone had thieves breaking into their homes, but what about now?

With so many surveillance cameras, if a thief really steals something, wouldn't that be courting death?

Not to mention the other stuff, it’s just amazing.”

“It’s amazing, but sometimes it can cause some trouble.

Fortunately, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which is always a good thing.”

"Does it even need to be said?

Didn’t you see that a few days ago, someone in the community fell down and wanted to blackmail others, but unfortunately everything was recorded by the surveillance camera.

Not only did I not get the compensation I wanted, but I was also sued. So it’s better to put it on surveillance.”

"Does it even need to be said?

But then again, we should be kind and avoid extorting money from others, as it will do no good."

“That’s for sure.

But after something like this happens, who would be willing to do good things?

I’m afraid that one day I’ll do a good deed and then be blackmailed.

Anyway, I heard from the younger kids in our family that it’s okay to just stand aside and watch, but if you want to help others, you should at least check if there are any surveillance cameras overhead.

Or you can find a witness first, otherwise don't be too kind, what if you are blackmailed?

Although our family is not short of that little money, we cannot be taken advantage of."

"Ugh!

What is all this about?

All I can say is that it’s not that there aren’t bad guys, but that the bad guys have gotten older. Otherwise, there’s really no way to explain this.”

"Too."

There is no way to refute this kind of thing. All we can say is to do it according to your heart. What else can we do?

Fortunately, my grandchildren are all adults and have started working. They have a certain ability to distinguish this, so I don’t need to worry too much about them.

As for myself and my wife, at this age, only other people are learning from us.

We are not that kind of people and we cannot do that kind of thing. But we are also afraid that there will be some emergency, so we told our spouse about it.

"We are all people of this age. Even though we are usually in good health, we never know what accidents may happen.

So I found a few pieces of cloth and wrote my name, age, address, and my children’s contact information on them.

We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are prepared for the one. If something really happens, we will not be helpless. What do you think?"

"You know what, this is a really good idea. Oh, and put a bottle of quick-acting heart pills in a conspicuous place. After all, it will be more useful if you carry it with you."

"That's fine, but you have to remember to replace it frequently."

"What's this?

It’s not like we don’t change our clothes, we should change them every time we change our clothes!”

"Yes, then we can place an order online and have the medicine delivered to our home."

"Well, hey!

Although I am in good health, I can’t go very far when I go out to play.”

"Who says it isn't?

I'm old now, and not the same as before.

Fortunately, people of our age are healthy and have filial children. Otherwise, if something really happened, wouldn’t we be a burden? "

"Look at what you are saying, how can you be a burden?

Isn’t this the reason we raise children?

As for them, don’t they have such a day?”

"Yes, then I will sew the strips of cloth on the clothes first."

"Okay, I'll find a pen and write on it with the kind of indelible pen."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Isn't this the right thing to do? This way, you won't have to worry if you really encounter any situation.

As for the children, I didn't tell them about this. They are still clear-headed now anyway. Talking too much will only cause them more trouble. There is no need to do that.

In this way, every day when I go out, I will deliberately wear clothes with strips of cloth sewn on them.

After a long time, it has become a habit. I wear it on all the clothes I wear on a daily basis, whether it is winter clothes or summer clothes.

It’s a pity that this preparation was never used. As I get older, even if I’m in good health, there are not many places I can go and I can only stroll around the community.

In this neighborhood, not only the neighbors know him, but also the police officer in charge of the area knows him.

If something really happens, there is no need to worry too much. Everyone knows that the children of Old Man Guo are either teaching at universities or serving as teachers in military schools.

If something really happens, they will take it more seriously than anyone else. What's more, Old Man Guo is a veteran, so how could he not take it seriously?

It is also because of this that, as I get older, people always greet me every time I go out.

Not only will I chat with people for a few minutes whenever they say hello, whether I remember them or not.

And when they knew that the old couple's minds were becoming more and more confused, and they saw that the old couple would go out without their children, they would not do any work and just stay by their side, for fear that something might go wrong.

You know what, there are still many kind-hearted people nowadays, and they sent the child back home not long after.

Furthermore, as I get older, I almost never have the chance to go out alone.

If I want to go out, I have to be accompanied by my children, otherwise they will be worried. Things are different now than before. The roads are wider and there are more cars. I am old and my eyesight is not good. It is better to be accompanied by my children, right?

Even if you understand these principles sometimes, you are unwilling to say them and still keep saying them.

“I’ve already told you that I can do it myself, so why don’t you believe it?

I am already over 80 years old, why do you always treat me like a child? "

At this time, the children will not say much, just agree verbally, and the other party will still not change.

Besides, you are old and confused for a long time, so you don’t even have the chance to argue with others.

And so the days go by more and more confusingly, until you leave this world, and no one mentions you anymore.

Even if someone remembers you, it will only be in the mouths of your children. How can other people remember who you are?

Life is like this, it passes in just a few decades. Fortunately, there are still people who remember you, so your life is not in vain.

As for the others, they all drifted away with the wind, like dandelions, and no one knows where they will end up. All we know is that you have been here and left.

You haven't made much contribution, and you don't need too many people to remember you. What matters is that you hope your next journey will be smooth and not as up and down as this one. How great that would be.

Unfortunately, life is never what you want it to be. Instead, it is full of unknowns.
