They usually reserve an afternoon, but not everyone sings until five or six o'clock in the evening. Some who are far from home may go back by car around 4 o'clock, and some are still taking care of their grandchildren. , because I had to pick up my children, I left after two o'clock.

Singing karaoke and dancing in the square Uncles and aunts, they are all well-connected people.

If you don’t want to be lonely, you have to use your own brains

Compared with singing, Wang Xiu’e actually prefers dancing.

Because of her age, Wang Xiu'e has not danced much in recent years. She has changed her daily after-dinner activity to taking a walk along the Qiantang River. However, when walking, she will be unconscious when she sees someone dancing in the square. to join.

"If they danced with no more than 8 movements, I could follow them three times and the movements were in place." Aunt Wang said proudly, "I am a good dancer. In the few years after I retired, I danced in Yongjin Park in the morning. I danced in Taimiao Park in the evening. I was the lead dancer and taught everyone how to dance. I can dance twenty or thirty times an hour. "

I only learned to sing in the past few years because I met this group of friends with the same interests and followed them slowly. Practice slowly.

This activity group organized by Wang Xiu'e has about 17 or 18 people. They were all strangers to each other originally. They all got acquainted through senior activities organized by the community or other units. Why did

form such a circle? Because I don’t want to be lonely.

Wang Xiu'e, now 70 years old, no longer has to take care of her grandchildren. However, 10 years ago, her little grandson still had to be sent to her every now and then. "It's mainly his grandma who takes care of her. When grandma has something to do, I take care of it."

This has also become a very important thing in her life.

Later, my grandson started to go to school, and my daughter had to tutor her child to study until 9pm every night. On weekends, she would either go to tutoring classes with her child, or go outside to relax and play all day long, so the time she spent with her gradually became less and less.

"I think about what to do? I always have to find something to do, use my own brain, liberate myself, and go my own way. All I can think of is to make friends with older people, such as those who like to read newspapers, and stay together. Read the newspaper; if you like to plant flowers, just plant flowers with a few people, so that you can pass the time. This is what I want to appeal to the elderly. "

Wang Xiu'e likes dancing, singing, and short trips, so she has this. Small circle.

Aunt Yu, who is just over 60 years old, is the youngest in the circle. She is wearing a floral dress and a permed bob haircut, which is quite trendy.

’s son has no children yet and is very free. “It’s boring to stay at home, so it’s nice to have friends to hang out with.” For her, this is also the most important thing every week.

It’s the laurel season again, and uncles and aunts have already started planning gatherings. Photos from this newspaper

There are many kinds of parties. The uncles and aunts are very busy.

They have time and are in good health. They are also open-minded and willing to find interesting things to do for themselves.

Their gatherings happen almost every week: sometimes they drink tea, sometimes they play cards, and sometimes they take short trips.

Xianhua Mountain, Tonglu, Linan are all places they often visit.

“There is a car charter company that we often contact. They send vehicles according to the number of us and take us to the destination, which is usually a local farmhouse. If you want to go to a scenic spot, you can find a chartered car through the farmhouse. This service is available. Staying like this for 3 to 5 days and then coming back, like a trip to Lin'an, all costs only more than 200 yuan per person."

In addition to such "reunions", activists like Wang Xiu'e also travel around the world, such as with. The sisters who are good friends travel abroad. Last year they went to the western United States, they went to the Netherlands in April this year, and they plan to go to Germany next month. She took care of all the group registration, submission of documents, and visa application by herself.

Wang Xiu'e said that with this arrangement, she felt that she didn't have enough time every day. "I didn't feel lonely at all. I was in a good mood and my body kept up with it."

As for Aunt Yu, she likes to sing and often participates in it when she is studying. Singing competition, before retiring at work, I would also go to karaoke with colleagues from time to time.

Coming back to karaoke after retirement, for her, is a bit like going back to her youth.

76-year-old Uncle Wang, who has gray hair, sighed after singing "Red Sunset", "When I was young, there were 365 days in a year. I said we worked for 465 days. Singing? Traveling? How is that possible? "

"Yes, you have to work from nine to five, and after work you have to rush back to cook..." An aunt next to her answered, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by others, "Where? There are nine to five, that is, three shifts.So now, while we have time and our health is good, we should relax and relax. "

They are more outgoing than many young people.

If Wang Xiu'e and his party mainly communicate through traditional telephone calls, and most of the people are Hangzhou locals, the 60-year-old Uncle Lu uses online and offline routes.

He is a chatty person and established the QQ group "Singing Leisure and Entertainment" in June this year.

"People in the group come from all over the country and now live in Hangzhou. This is something I find quite interesting. I didn’t know anyone before. After chatting on QQ, if the conversation got better, we would organize activities to sing and drink tea. In this way, we would get to know each other. If we have the same interests and hobbies, we would move around more and we would get along with each other. Like brothers and sisters. "Uncle Lu holds a smartphone in his hand and responds to messages in the group at any time. In the more than three months since

established the group, they have organized more than 10 activities, and each time they make announcements in the group: What is the month and day? What time will it be, where will the karaoke activity be held, and the dinner will be shared, the above fees are all AA-rated.

In Uncle Lu’s opinion, KTV is currently the most suitable venue for them, “They can sing and chat. It's not appropriate for a bunch of people to sit in a park and have a party, so there needs to be some atmosphere. "

" If you don't go home after singing, let's have a meal together. It won't cost much, just a few dozen yuan, if we share it equally, but we will be in a good mood that day. "Uncle Lu said that in addition to singing, they also want to organize short trips, but since there are not many people now, they may not be able to do it. "If there are more like-minded people in the future, we will try again. "

"Like-minded people and good conversational skills" are the most important factors for uncles and aunts when choosing a circle. One aunt said, "If you like different things and you can't chat with each other, it will be boring to hang out together." "It's not like making friends with young people." It’s the same. "

And they have found their "old partners", and each event is going on smoothly.

No, regarding the next gathering, Uncle Lu, the group leader, posted a notice in the QQ group: This week Go to Yin Le Di K Song.

Wang Xiu'e cheerfully informed everyone to go to Hangzhou Zoo for tea, because the osmanthus is about to bloom. "Once a year, enjoy the osmanthus." "

Reporter's Notes

To be honest, when I entered the KTV and saw so many boxes filled with gray-haired elderly people, I was greatly surprised. I had the impression that this place was dominated by young people. Unexpectedly, it was already a world dominated by young people. Occupied by the "fashionable dads and moms" of young people. This is really a group of old people who know how to play.

What do uncles and aunts do after they retire? Square dancing, or walking in the park every day, boxing and chatting...

Obviously, Wang Xiu'e and Uncle Lu have exceeded our imagination. Booking a concert to sing karaoke is just one of their ways to make their retirement life less lonely. Looking for friends and forming circles, compared with young people who are becoming more and more homebound, uncles and aunts are "outgoing and full of life"

However, as Aunt Ding who gave the opinion said, there are things around us that can provide for the elderly. There are still too few venues and facilities for people's activities and entertainment. Most of the activities for the elderly are squeezed within the community. From this perspective, they may be more willing to keep in line with the trends of this society. Going to KTV to sing is probably just an uncle. The new discoveries of the aunts, maybe they will have more new discoveries like this in the future.

.So now, while we have time and our health is good, we should relax and relax. "
