Five years ago, when the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, my father held a family meeting. He said our family also had to hold a meeting and formulate a "five-year plan". At that time, I wrote this matter into the article and published it.
Five years have passed in a blink of an eye. I was very moved when I took out the newspapers of that year. The most important thing about my father’s five-year plan was to live in a house and live a life of “up and downstairs, electric lights and telephones”. A lot of things happened in the past five years. After I gave birth to a son, my father and mother moved to the city to help me take care of the children. With the joint efforts of the family, we bought another big house nearby. Now that my son has grown up, my parents also need to have their own living space, so we left the old house for them and moved to the big house ourselves. My father's wish to live in the stairs was realized like this.
Now the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is held, and our family will also "conference" as usual. My father said, "Every household in our village is rich, your uncle has made a fortune in raising pigs, and your fourth uncle has made a lot of money to grow vegetables in greenhouses, and people's pockets are bulging!" My sister joked after hearing his father's words, "Dad, who still puts the money in his pocket now? It's all on the card!" My father laughed and said, "Yes, I forgot about this!" I said, "Dad, let alone others, hurry up and talk about our new 'five-year plan'!"
Father began to "look forward to the future" again: "In the next five years, I hope you sisters will have new breakthroughs in all aspects. The boss must do his job well and strive for greater achievements. The second brother opens a supermarket, Although affected by the epidemic, she not only survived, but also made a lot of money. In the next five years, you should consider expanding the scale. "Mom said, "If you don't have enough money, your father and I will still have some savings, so I will take it out first." I said, "Mom, don't worry, you don't need your pension money."
Father continued, "The third brother works in the community and has made a lot of contributions to the fight against the epidemic in recent years. He is a meritorious minister! We have the family affairs, and your mother and I can help you." The third sister said, "Dad, I will listen to you. I believe that the epidemic will be controlled soon, and I will take you on a trip at that time!" Both father and mother smiled and nodded.
The father said to his mother again, "Tell me, what else is our new five-year plan!" The mother thought for a while and said, "In the new five years, our main task is to send Xiaobao to and from school. Now the burden on students has been reduced, and the children have become much more relaxed. I hope Xiaobao will grow up happily."
I will also have my own wishes in the next five years. My father and mother live in the city, and their medical conditions and pension security are relatively good. I hope the community will organize more activities for the elderly to make their old age more exciting.
The new five years have arrived, and our family welcomes the future with longing!
