As for the pension, you have to wait until the age of 65 to receive it, which is still several years away.
Although Zhang Jiangang in this life worked in a county theater troupe when he was young, he was laid off when he was in his forties. When he was not working, he even repaired shoes in front of the community to make a living.
Therefore, the pension is paid by yourself, even if you are 65 years old, it will not be much every year.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for me to live on pensions and pensions.
Maybe many elderly people of this age have this kind of living situation, and they have accepted it. But Zhang Jiangang is a young man in his twenties at heart, so naturally he cannot allow himself to live like an ordinary elderly person.
Moreover, this Earth in China is at a similar stage to the Earth in the previous life. It has everything it needs, including very advanced technology, and even some Internet companies have similar social software apps. What can be done with this?
It’s okay to be young, as long as you work hard, you can make money. But now that I am a 60-year-old man, who would want a 60-year-old man to work, other than looking after doors and warehouses?
Let alone 60 years old, it is difficult for people around 40 to find a job now. What should I do, should I just eat and drink and wait for the pension to survive?
Although he has to face reality, Zhang Jiangang is also an optimistic person.
"A living person can still choke to death. Let's take my precious granddaughter out to have a good time first!" Zhang Jiangang thought anyway.
The little girl has never had much fun since she was born.
He touched his granddaughter Xiao Lele’s head.
"Come on, let's go! Grandpa will take you to have fun today. Don't you want to go to the amusement park? Let's go, grandpa will take you there!" Thinking of this, Zhang Jiangang's mental state changed, and he even said to his granddaughter.
The little guy was very excited when he heard this.
"Uncle Zhang, are you taking your granddaughter out to play?" Just when Zhang Jiangang was holding the little guy's hand and preparing to go downstairs, a young man who looked like a high school student came up from downstairs. You can still hear the young man mumbling before meeting him.
What express delivery?
The boy's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and the "Yezhou No. 1 Middle School" school uniform he wore was covered with footprints and blood stains.
"Brother Da Ming~"
"Hey, little Lele is so beautiful."
"Hehe~"
"Oh, it's Da Ming. He was beaten again?" he glanced at the neighbor's son Zhang Jiangang upstairs and said with a smile.
"Hey, no, no. I just went to pick up the courier, but that bastard Wang Meili deliberately lost my courier. We had a quarrel, so I went up first, Uncle Zhang." The young man smiled and wiped the nosebleed.
He went upstairs in embarrassment.
"Oh? How could the express be lost? You can go look for it again."
"Oh, I don't want a courier anymore. I don't want it anymore. Uncle Zhang, don't tell my parents about my beating. Xiao Lele, bye~" Before leaving, the little guy named Lei Ming pinched Lele's little face.
.
"Bye bye, brother Da Ming~"
Looking at this back, Zhang Jiangang couldn't laugh or cry. It's so good to be young. If the courier said he didn't want it, he wouldn't want it.
Today is definitely the day when Zhang Jiangang spends money "lavishly" in this life.
After getting his senior citizen card on the road, Zhang Jiangang took his granddaughter Xiaolele to have a "fashionable" time at the Oriental City Shopping Center two kilometers away.
Little Lele's face was red all day long and she was smiling from ear to ear.
All kinds of little dresses, all kinds of toys, all kinds of playgrounds, all kinds of ice cream snacks, nothing to eat or play in the past three years, grandpa Zhang Jiangang took him to experience it all. By the way, Zhang Jiangang also took his granddaughter to experience it.
I had my hair cut into a cute little style with air bangs.
At noon, the grandfather and grandson ate in the shopping mall. Although Zhang Jiangang doesn't like KFC, it's fine if his granddaughter likes it, but she just doesn't eat it too often.
Zhang Jiangang and his granddaughter had a great meal.
The grandfather and grandson played until about six o'clock in the afternoon before getting ready to leave.
"Grandpa, can I wear a new skirt when I go to kindergarten tomorrow?" When he came to the lobby on the first floor, the little guy tugged on the hem of his skirt and asked happily.
"Yes! Why not? But you can go to kindergarten the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is Sunday holiday." Looking at his granddaughter who had been redressed like a little princess, Zhang Jiangang also looked happy.
If you don’t love your granddaughter, who will? I just want to dress my granddaughter up as a little princess. No, our Lele is a little princess!
Seeing the little guy clinging to him and calling him grandpa, even though he is a young man in his twenties at heart, Zhang Jiangang's heart is sweeter than honey.
Although he spent more than a thousand yuan in one go with his small savings, Zhang Jiangang was happy to spend it on his granddaughter!
"Grandpa, what are they doing?" Just when Zhang Jiangang was about to take his granddaughter home, the little guy suddenly stopped and looked at the crowd and stage in the lobby on the first floor of the shopping mall. There was singing coming from there.
"That's Dongfang City's store celebration performance." Zhang Jiangang glanced at the opposite side and said.
Dongfang City is a large comprehensive shopping mall near Longteng Community. Today is the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the shopping mall. Dongfang City is obviously holding activities on the first floor. The employees of the shopping mall were busy when we arrived in the morning.
There are several people singing here.
After hearing this, the little guy couldn't move his feet. He obviously wanted to take a look. Especially his eyes were fixed on the little rabbit stuffed toys and balloons placed on the stage.
If Lele wants to see it, you must see it!
Holding the little guy's hand, Zhang Jiangang squeezed in with great effort. It was a pity that he didn't have any spiritual energy, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to work so hard, he could just push these people in.
"Now, I would like to ask our security colleagues from Dongfang City to perform a song for everyone. The song is called "We Soldiers"! I also want to thank them for their dedication to Dongfang City over the past five years. Everyone is welcome!"
After the host's introduction, five young and middle-aged people wearing Oriental City security uniforms walked onto the stage.
Since we are called soldiers, it is obvious that these five security guards should be retired soldiers from this world.
In addition, it may be because they worked as security guards in shopping malls after retiring from the army. Although these five people still have that kind of temperament, it seems that the temperament of being a soldier has been worn away. They are a little reserved and a little embarrassed.
Hearing the title of the song and seeing the temperament of these five security guards, Zhang Jiangang, who was holding his granddaughter's little hand, also stood firmly in the front row.
Those of us who are soldiers also had this song in our previous lives.
At the same time, Zhang Jiangang thought of the actions taken by Chinese soldiers after the spiritual energy was revived at the end of 2019 in his previous life.
Zhang Jiangang remembers that the whole world was in chaos and turmoil.
It can be said that if the soldiers had not been dispatched, I really don’t know how much trouble would have occurred.
The Chinese soldiers at that time were simply the protectors in the hearts of the Chinese people. Although in the first few years when their aura had just recovered, the soldiers were actually no different from ordinary people, they were just ordinary flesh and blood.
Not only after the spiritual energy was revived, but also before the spiritual energy was revived at the end of 2019, soldiers also paid a lot for that world.
Whenever something big happens, they are always the first ones to rush in and lift up the entire country.
Moreover, when I escaped from death in that ruined cultivation cave in my previous life, I was also rescued by a soldier.
Thinking of this past and present life, Zhang Jiangang read and listened seriously. Zhang Jiangang always maintained a kind of respect and awe for the soldiers.
At the same time, Zhang Jiangang did not expect that this earth not only has KFC, but also the song "We Are Soldiers".
But in a flash, when he heard the five security guards on the stage singing the song "We Are Soldiers," Zhang Jiangang was stunned.
Because, it’s not a song!
To be exact, only the song title is the same, the lyrics and melody are completely different!
It doesn't have that kind of heroism, it doesn't have that kind of passion. Although it sounds good, it is far worse than the previous version and is not on the same level.
In addition, these five security guards are not formal singers after all. Although it is not considered poor, their performance is indeed mediocre.
Just when Zhang Jiangang was thinking about this, applause broke out, but it was sparse.
Most of it is polite and stylized applause.
But for some reason, Zhang Jiangang's heart was inexplicably touched when he saw everyone's reaction and saw that the five veterans only received sparse, perfunctory and stylized applause after singing.
Also, the customers watching the excitement here only regard them as ordinary security guards. How can they regard them as soldiers? The status is different.
After all, this is not an army, not a battlefield, and it is not an era where soldiers, even veterans, stepped forward to turn the tide after the spiritual energy of the previous life was revived.
Of course, the lack of momentum in the song just now may also be a reason.
"Okay, thank you to Dongfang City security captain Li Guozhi and several colleagues for their wonderful performance, and thank them for their efforts for Dongfang City over the past five years. I give them a round of applause!" the host of the mall said with a smile, but at the same time he was a little embarrassed.
"In the past five years, Dongfang City has gradually grown with everyone's support. Without everyone, Dongfang City would not be what it is today. Let my colleagues take a break. We have also prepared a customer interaction session and prepared interactive gifts for everyone."
Speaking of this, the female host also glanced at the dolls and stuffed animals next to her, as well as rice cookers and fitness cards.
"So, which customer will come up and perform for everyone? Our generous gifts are waiting for him. There are stuffed toys for children, a rice cooker, and fitness experience cards."
On the stage, the female host said with a smile, looking at the customers below and encouraging them.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was a little chaotic, and parents with children even had their trouser legs pulled down by their children.
"Dad, I want that stuffed toy."
"Mom, I want balloons." the children even said.
But despite this, few of these customers came forward, although some were moved.
"Is there anyone yet? There are many gifts waiting for everyone. Children are welcome too. Children can also come up and perform." The female host even held a small rabbit plush toy to seduce some children.
And just when everyone was hesitant, especially some children who were eager to give it a try.
"Sister, my grandpa is coming!" In a corner, a little friend named Zhang Lele raised his little hand.
Upon hearing this, the female host's eyes lit up and she looked in this direction.
"You little girl, who said I was going to be in the movie?" Zhang Jiangang was speechless when he saw his granddaughter's little face with a mischievous smile and her little hands pushing herself up hard.
"Haha~" Seeing this scene, the customers on the scene laughed even more. I have seen people who thought they were cheating on me, but I didn't expect that there were also people who cheated on my grandpa.
"Uncle, come on!"
"That's right, come on, uncle! The gifts are waiting for you!"
Upon seeing this, the customers in Dongfang City also started to boo.
"Uncle, come up here, don't be nervous, just treat it like chatting with everyone." The female host also struck while the iron was hot.
"Grandpa, I want a bunny plush toy and a balloon." Xiao Lele was rubbing her hands, looking at Zhang Jiangang with big pitiful eyes, and gently pushing Zhang Jiangang onto the stage.
"..."
After looking at his granddaughter and the people watching the fun, Zhang Jiangang sighed.
Just go ahead, it's all up to this point.
"Lele, don't run around here, you know? Young man, help me look after my granddaughter." Zhang Jiangang said to the security guards who had just stepped down.
"Yeah~"
"Uncle, why don't you bring your granddaughter with you?" the hostess said upon seeing this.
Zhang Jiangang was stunned for a moment, but he had the right idea!
Then he took his granddaughter's hand and strode up.
It's just a show, no big deal! What's more, after the show, I can earn a stuffed toy for my granddaughter, at least dozens of dollars.
Holding hands, big and small, and carrying a lot of things, the grandfather and grandson came on stage.
"Uncle, you just bought something in Dongfang City, right? Can you say something to everyone? Do you have any comments or suggestions for us in Dongfang City? By the way, what do you call me, uncle?"
"My name is Zhang Jiangang. I live in Longteng Community not far next door. Just call me Lao Zhang. I wish Dongfang City better and better. My suggestion is that I hope that the newly opened children's entertainment center called Moon Harbor will be successful.
The price can be cheaper. Three yuan for a game currency is too expensive, I think one yuan is fine."
"..." The female host had a black line on her head.
The customers outside the venue laughed, thinking that the old man was too honest. You are right, the game coins in the newly opened amusement park are too expensive!
Even the veteran security guards who had just stepped down smiled.
In addition, if these words were spoken by a young man, everyone might think it was a bit awkward, but if an old man said these words, everyone would find them particularly interesting.
"Ahem, okay, I will report to our leader. So, Uncle Zhang, what show are you going to perform for everyone? Is it singing?" The female host quickly changed the topic.
Hearing this, Zhang Jiangang was stunned for a moment, but his eyes turned to the veterans' security guards just now.
"I'll just be like them and sing "We Soldiers"!" Zhang Jiangang said, looking at the five security guards.
Are you still singing about being a soldier? The host was stunned, as were the five security guards.
"Okay, then we welcome the uncle to perform "We Soldiers" for everyone. Let's see how the uncle sings "We Soldiers" is different. Everyone is welcome! The accompanist will..."
"No, I don't need accompaniment!"
No need for accompaniment? "Well, please enjoy the soldiers that Uncle Zhang brought to you!" The host was stunned, but nodded, and then handed the microphone to Zhang Jiangang.
At the same time, the scene became a little quieter.
However, the customers were less interested.
Because after all, no one likes this song very much, and five veterans and security guards just sang it. How can you sing it better than others, sir?
Everyone thought it was boring, but the applause was much louder than before, probably because everyone thought Uncle Zhang was more interesting and funny.
At the same time, everyone was already imagining the scene of the old man yelling at the top of his voice.
However, they didn't see the yelling scene, and they found that the old man on the stage who was grabbing gifts for his granddaughter had changed his demeanor.
The previous carelessness was gone, his expression suddenly became serious, then determined, and his energy and energy completely changed!
And while everyone was watching this, Zhang Jiangang moved on the stage!
Moreover, this song "We Soldiers" is not the one sung by the security guards just now, but a version that no one has heard before.
Since the person singing this song is not a young man, but a 60-year-old man, this feeling is even stronger!
It's not important anymore!
The sonorous melody has been sung, heroic, passionate, full of glory and pride!
As soon as the sonorous and powerful singing voice came out, almost instantly, the hairs of everyone present stood on end!
"We - soldiers!
We - soldiers!
…
What's the difference
Just because we are all wearing
Simple military uniform!”
Simple, sonorous, passionate!
At this moment, everyone seemed to see not an old man with his granddaughter, but a veteran who had experienced the battlefield and raised his fist high, shouting stubbornly and proudly on the stage of Dongfang City's anniversary celebration!
What song is this? This song is also called "We Soldiers"? Who sang it and which singer sang it!
Bold, heroic, proud, with an indomitable momentum!
This is a soldier, this is a soldier!
This is the momentum and temperament that everyone imagines a soldier to have!
