"Both my daughter and son-in-law are very good and take good care of me. Later, they picked up the child and sent him to kindergarten. They were responsible for picking up and dropping off the child every day. They came to see me with the child on weekends. It felt good."

"The house is big, so I feel lonely living alone. Although there are activities at the Film Association, they don't happen every day, so I thought I should find something to do for myself. After all, as long as I stay busy, I won't feel bored."

"

"The urban village near my house was demolished a few years ago. Later, a small park and an elderly activity center were built. So I like to go there for a walk when I have nothing to do. There are many people playing chess in the park.

, I also like this, and have become chess friends with several people.”

"Because it is surrounded by residential areas, the activity center is very lively. I went there several times and found that many people were dancing ballroom there, and you could hear music while playing chess... Haha, I used to be a member of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

I was familiar with the artist group, but at that time I was focusing on photography, and I wasn’t familiar with anyone in the dance and music field. I didn’t expect that as I got older, I would start to get in touch with them again, so I thought about giving it a try.”

"My learning ability is not very good. I studied with the dance teacher at the activity center for more than two weeks before I got a feel for it. I like ballroom dancing very much. After dancing for a long time, I also feel it, although it is not a big deal.

It’s great, but I can memorize the basic dance steps and dance with style.”

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao smiled secretly in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

Song Yunkun continued: "Every ballroom dance requires a partner, and if you want to dance well, the requirements for your partner are very high. This is divided into two aspects, one depends on technique, and the other depends on appearance. Just like a stage worker, appearance

It’s very important, only by pleasing the eye can it be pleasing to the eye!”

"The dance troupe at the Senior Activity Center all has fixed partners. When I first started learning, the troupe arranged a male partner for me. Later, the man went out to buy groceries and was hit by a car and died. In the troupe, everyone danced together.

It’s one-on-one, there’s not a single extra thing.”

Chen Jun also danced in the square for a while to keep fit, and she was quite familiar with this. She gave Song Yunkun a piece of braised chicken and asked with a smile: "So, Old Song, you can only stay alone?"

Song Yunkun nodded: "I can't dance without a partner, so I thought about contacting the Dance Association or the Model Association. After all, they are more professional in this area and have many affiliated societies. Please introduce me to them."

A club with many activities, including dancing and sports.”

Hearing this, Su Mu frowned and glanced at Song Yunkun: "Old Song! I'm not telling you, when you went directly to the Dancers Association to join a random dance group, it was more reliable than any senior activity center. You yourself

They are people in the circle. When I was in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, they were still in charge of the Dance Association. Which one is your Aka? You don’t have to go through legitimate channels, you have to go outside...sigh..."

Seeing the unhappy look on his father-in-law's face, Hu Pingtao speculated and asked, "Does this mean that Uncle Song met someone unkindly at the senior citizen activity center?"

Song Yunkun's expression suddenly seemed a little unnatural. He lowered his head and stared at his bowls and chopsticks, shaking his head and laughing at himself: "I really didn't think much about it at that time. I just thought that the activity center was not far from my residence for convenience."

"My former dance partner was an old man named Luo. This man was old, and he took life, old age, illness and death very seriously. News of Lao Luo's death soon spread in the group, and everyone felt uncomfortable. Several people felt that

They stopped dancing for a while. Accordingly, their dance partners became available."

"A woman named Wang Liyuan offered to be my dance partner. She is five years younger than me and looks a bit older... Actually, at my age, I am no longer picky about appearance. Besides, I am just looking for a dance partner.

, and I’m not my wife, so I will agree to it no matter who it is.”

"Wang Liyuan's dancing skills are very good. She leads me to dance every time. Haha, it feels pretty good. After dancing for more than half a month, I found that I have made great progress and my movements are becoming more and more skillful."

“She has a cheerful personality and speaks loudly. When I’m with her, I almost never get cold feet. I feel like I can talk about any topic, and she can pick up on whatever I say. She can also find something to say when I’m bored.

Chat with me. Although her education level is not high, it can still be seen, but she is very smart. She will try to avoid unfamiliar topics and focus on the aspects she is familiar with. "

"The longer we dance together, the better our relationship becomes."

"Wang Liyuan often brings me food, mainly steamed buns, steamed buns and flatbreads. She is from the north, and she cooks all the food herself. We reciprocate the courtesy. Sometimes I go to the store to buy pastries and I will bring her one.

"

"One time, Wang Liyuan said something happened at home and she couldn't find anything to do at the moment, so she asked me to borrow 5,000 yuan. This amount of money was nothing to me, so I didn't get to the bottom of it. I transferred the money via mobile phone at that time.

Give it to her."

"Originally we agreed to borrow it for a month and then return it to me, but when the time came, Wang Liyuan didn't mention it at all. It felt like she had forgotten about it. After another week, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I looked for an opportunity to ask.

She said you should pay me back the money, right? But... I never dreamed that she... actually said she had no money to pay me back."

"Although my retirement salary is high, my money does not come from strong winds. I am already sixty or seventy years old, my wife is gone, and I only have a daughter. I must have some money on hand! Just in case that day

When your body is broken and you go to the hospital, you are really paying for your life."

Su Mu didn't like this kind of words. He tapped the edge of the bowl with the tip of his chopsticks and said seriously: "Old Song, what are you talking about? You are also a division-level cadre after all, and hospitalization for serious illness can be reimbursed... Let's talk about it.

The code is the same code, don't push it in this direction."

Song Yunkun was very afraid of Su Mu. He shook his head and smiled. He didn't mention the medical expenses again and turned to Hu Pingtao: "I tell you, this Wang Liyuan is not a good person. I chased her for money several times, and she was forced to

When she got anxious, she simply told me: She had no money, and even if I beat her to death, I wouldn’t be able to get the money back. I got anxious at that time and threatened her that if she didn’t pay back the money, I would call the police.”

Speaking of this, Song Yunkun deliberately let it slip and looked around at everyone: "Guess how Wang Liyuan replied to me?"

Su Mu frowned: "That's the only bad thing about you. You don't feel comfortable talking or doing things at all. Just say what you have to say, don't be mysterious. Finish the matter quickly and let Ping Tao see if it can be solved.

. He is busy at work every day, and my girl has to take the child home after dinner. Who has time to play guessing games with you here? "

Song Yunkun nodded quickly and said "Oh", and said seriously to Hu Pingtao: "That Wang Liyuan...she...she...oh, I can't even say those words, it's really..."

Seeing his sad and hesitant look, Hu Pingtao guessed something and asked with a smile: "Uncle Song, did Wang Liyuan say that she won't pay back the money and will stay with you for a while?"

Hearing this, everyone at the dinner table was stunned.

Chen Jun opened his mouth wide with surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

Li Jinglan had been a high-ranking district official and had more contact with the sub-district offices and communities below. She had seen and heard many strange things than this. She shook her head and sighed: "Some people are really hard to tell, even if they are old.

It won’t change.”

Su Xiaolin just put a piece of fish fillet into her mouth. She was speechless for a moment. After finally swallowing it, she frowned and asked Hu Pingtao: "Are you kidding me? Uncle Song is already over seventy years old."

, can it still be like this?"

Song Yunkun looked at Hu Pingtao with surprise on his face and asked doubtfully: "How did you know?"

Before Hu Pingtao could answer, Su Mu nudged Song Yunkun with his elbow and said with a serious expression: "Old Song, you won't agree, right?"

Song Yunkun became anxious all of a sudden and quickly defended: "Am I that kind of person? I have to be ashamed after all! Besides, if I want to find a wife, there are many good conditions, why should I throw it away?

Watermelon and sesame seeds?”

Su Mu nodded slightly after hearing this: "...That's true."

Song Yunkun's overall temperament is very good, and he once held a leadership position in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. As he said, it is too easy to find a wife. Leaving aside other things, there are many single and widowed old ladies in the Dance Association and the Music Association. Educational qualifications are required.

, if you want to have a good appearance, as long as you open your mouth, there will be no shortage of people at all.

Su Mu's words made Song Yunkun a little angry.

"Lao Su, how can you think so? Do you think I am the kind of person who is sour and cold?"

"That Wang Liyuan is short, fat, and looks like a winter melon. She only went to junior high school before. Do you think I can like her?"

"I went to dance at the Senior Activity Center because I was bored and not looking for a second chance at life."

Su Mu saw that Song Yunkun was getting more and more excited, so he picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "I was just joking to make you anxious... As for that? Come on, come on, come on, let's do it."

After a glass of wine, Song Yunkun's mood slowed down slightly, and he continued to pour out the bitter water: "That Wang Liyuan is so shameless! She actually said that she had no money to pay me back, so she used herself as compensation. She said she would stay with me for a week to offset the loss.

Five thousand dollars."

"This incident has simply refreshed my outlook. In all my life, I have never heard of it, let alone seen it."

"There was no way I could agree to her request, otherwise how could I pass the test of my daughter? So I told Wang Liyuan that this was impossible and you had to pay back the money."

"Wang Liyuan started to cheat. She turned around and said that she had never borrowed my money, and asked me what evidence I had?"

"...She is right to the point. I really have no evidence."

Song Yunkun smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't pay attention when I borrowed the money, because it was just a verbal exchange. I thought that we were all familiar with each other and danced together, so I didn't write a written receipt. Now that Wang Liyuan has done this, I am really dumb.

Eating Coptis chinensis will cause unspeakable suffering."

Feeling very depressed, Song Yunkun picked up the wine cup and filled his glass, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He put down the empty glass and let out a long sigh: "When my wife was here before, I thought she was nagging and annoying.

.But something really happened. After comparing the two, I realized that my wife is really good."

Su Mu consoled him: "Be open-minded about everything. By the way, what about the five thousand yuan? What did you say later?"

"What else can I say? I can only think of it as throwing it into the water. Anyway, I can't get back a penny, and I don't dare to touch that woman." Song Yunkun sighed sadly: "I haven't talked to Wang Liyuan since then.

She is far away."

Chen Jun smiled and asked: "Then you don't dance anymore?"

Song Yunkun hesitated for a moment and continued: "Speaking of which, it was all caused by dancing. I don't know what happened during that time, but my mind was full of ballroom dancing. Let me make it clear first! I really have no other thoughts.

I think dancing is fun. There are a lot of old people together who are about the same age and have common topics. So after Wang Liyuan’s incident, I became more cautious in finding dance partners. I no longer dance just for the sake of dancing as before. At least

The character must be passable.”

"Later I met someone named Yu Xiuhong. She seemed very quiet. She had a son and was already married. Her husband disappeared more than ten years ago, and now she lives alone like me. Yu Xiuhong looked like

She is very honest, unlike Wang Liyuan who is so enchanting, and she is also very well dressed."

"I'm scared of Wang Liyuan just once. That woman is not a light-hearted person. When she found out that I was with Yu Xiuhong, she would often come over to talk to me and even threaten me."

Hu Pingtao asked curiously: "Threat? Doesn't she owe you money and hasn't paid it back? How can she threaten you?"

Song Yunkun's face was full of bitterness, and anger surged in his heart: "Wang Liyuan asked me to be friendly with her, and asked me to kick Yu Xiuhong. She knew the details of Yu Xiuhong, that she was a sultry type, and she even said something

A lot of bad words. Then she told me that she had made up her mind and was willing to live with me."

"Tell me, can I have a woman like this?"

Hu Pingtao tapped his fingers on the table slowly and subconsciously, and asked: "What happened next?"

Song Yunkun replied: "I can't agree to anything I say! Later, Wang Liyuan encouraged people in the activity center and said bad things about me behind my back, which made everyone think of me. I didn't even have anyone to talk to in the dance troupe.

.”

"Yu Xiuhong is still very good. She comforted me and said that if you can't dance here, then find another place. She stays with me and goes wherever I go."

Su Mu laughed when he heard this: "It seems that Yu Xiuhong has a very good impression of you! He even dares to say such things."

Li Jinglan listened, frowning, and said slowly: "I guess this woman has other ideas in mind. Although Lao Song is a retiree, he is still a division-level cadre after all."

Song Yunkun didn't say anything. He drank two glasses of wine in one go. Hu Pingtao saw that something was wrong with him, so he quickly stood up, reached for the wine bottle, and persuaded: "Uncle Song, everyone here is not an outsider. You have something in your heart."

If you don't feel comfortable speaking out, we will help you in any way we can."

Song Yunkun shook his head in silence, his face full of bitterness.
