Old Chen was going to learn to drive and was in trouble at home. At such an old age, what can I learn to drive? After retirement, he and his old guys fished and played cards, and also learned to play goal balls and practice Tai Chi.

Old Chen was going to learn to drive and it was a big blow at home.

is so old, what can I learn to drive? My wife was the first to object. How old is Old Chen? 77 years old. In his life, he has no interests and hobbies except to go to work. After retirement, he and his old guys fished and played cards, and also learned to play goal and practice Tai Chi. My wife unconditionally supports these. But when my wife learned to drive, she didn't agree to anything. There is only one reason to object, it is too old. Is it worth it to spend thousands of yuan to learn to drive at such an old age? The children do not support it either. There is also a reason for not supporting it, it is too old. As you get older, you will be slower; as you react slowly, you will not be able to cope with complex road conditions, which is too unsafe.

The incident reached the ears of neighbors, old colleagues and old friends, and there were almost unanimous oppositions. The reason is still that it is too old. However, they said it more bluntly. At such an old age, even if you pass the exam and get your driver's license successfully, how many days can you drive? This sentence hit Lao Chen's pain point.

In fact, Lao Chen’s idea of ​​learning to drive can be traced back to his youth. At that time, he was the only agricultural machinery player in the entire production team. Although it does not require a driver's license to open an hand tractor, it is also trained. In that era, there were few cars. When I saw cars running much faster than tractors on the road, Lao Chen had the dream of learning to drive in the future. Later, Old Chen entered the city and became a worker, and this dream was buried in his heart.

When Old Chen just retired, there were more private cars. But he didn't have the spare money to buy a car. His son wanted to buy a house and his daughter also wanted to buy a house. He and his wife had worked hard to support them. If you can’t afford a car, what’s the use of taking a driver’s license? At that time, Old Chen felt that he would have no chance of having a car in his life.

What Lao Chen didn't expect was that his children quickly helped him realize his dream that he had not realized. More than ten years ago, my eldest daughter took the lead in buying a car. The first time he took his daughter's car back to his hometown in the countryside, Old Chen was filled with joy. On the way, his daughter said to him seriously: "Dad, have you always wanted to learn to drive? Now that we have a car, why don't you go and take a driver's license exam?" The daughter's words made Lao Chen's thoughts buried in his heart come back to life. After he came back, he actually ran to the driving school. However, someone took a look at his ID card and poured a basin of cold water on his head. He was over, so he couldn't take a driver's license exam.

Now, the son has a car and the daughter has a car. Even the grandson who has just worked has his own car. When Old Chen wants to go out, they will drive him to pick him up and drop him off. Sometimes, he would sit in the cab, touch the steering wheel, and imagine how he was driving. His grandson even took a cell phone to take a picture of him pretending to be driving. But Old Chen knew that he would never have the chance to drive in his life.

Until he saw on the news that the country relaxed the age limit for driving license tests. The next day he ran to the driving school nearest to his home to inquire, and it was indeed possible. When Old Chen returned home, he told his wife that he wanted to learn to drive, and then discussed with his children. Unexpectedly, no one supported it.

doesn't, there are also people who support him. After learning that my grandfather wanted to learn to drive, my grandson called him directly to express his encouragement, support and admiration. The grandson also said, "I'll pay for the driver's license test. Moreover, after you get the driver's license, I will accompany you to practice driving." However, after receiving the strong support of his grandson, Old Chen felt a little excited. After all, he was so old, and he still didn't know how many days he could live. Is it really too crazy to take the driver's license test at this time?

grandson disagreed. He told Lao Chen: "As long as you can get a driver's license and as long as you can drive your own car for one day, it's worth it." His grandson also told him a man, a math teacher in high school, who started learning English after retirement. At first, everyone laughed at him: "You haven't settled abroad, and you haven't even traveled abroad. What's the use of learning English?" Now, five or six years have passed, and his math teacher has been to seven or eight countries by himself, all of whom are free to travel. Finally, the grandson said to Lao Chen: "Grandpa, it's not too late to start for his dream."

Last month, on Lao Chen's birthday, the whole family finally agreed with Lao Chen's idea.Accompanied by his family, Lao Chen went to the driving school to register, passed the physical examination, and passed the test, and he became the oldest student. The driving school recruited students of such an old age for the first time. It was very cautious and asked the best coach to teach him one-on-one. Old Chen is about to usher in his first exam: Subject 1. The gray-haired old Chen once again became a student, just for his lifelong thought.
