Rebirth and making money first

As soon as Squad Leader Alan and the others got out of the car, they couldn't wait to look around. Someone exclaimed, "Wow! This nursing home is really big! It even has a playground!" Another voice followed, "That's right! Look over there! There are quite a few elderly people looking at us." Someone else excitedly shouted, "Look! There are so many fitness equipment here! I love it!"

For a moment, everyone was talking and discussing, and the originally quiet nursing home suddenly became extremely noisy. When the elderly people who were relaxing in the yard saw this group of energetic young people, they couldn't help but smile kindly and took the initiative to greet them.

After some conversation, they discovered that many of these elderly people were old friends who had visited East Lake Park with them in the past. They had already forged a deep friendship with each other, and the reunion was even more cordial, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Zhang Jing led the group around with a smile, enthusiastically introducing each area as they walked. "This is our reading room, where you can enjoy a sea of ​​books. Over there is the craft room, full of creativity and fun. And this is a gym built specifically for everyone, to keep you healthy and energetic. Next to it is a comfortable and relaxing massage parlor. Look over here, there's a bustling mahjong parlor. Just across this corridor is the well-stocked supermarket. The building in front has a spacious and bright cafeteria. And this building houses an elegant concert hall..."

After a detailed explanation, everyone present couldn't help but marvel. "Wow, this place is amazing! The elderly seem so kind and friendly," Alan said, overcome with excitement, unable to contain his joy. "That kind grandmother just now actually invited me to her room to play, but I told her I'll definitely visit her next time I'm free."

At this point, the squad leader enthusiastically tried to push the elderly man in the wheelchair, slowly turning it around and around, his face beaming with a sense of accomplishment. The elderly man in the wheelchair was equally delighted, enjoying the warmth and care. Seeing this, the others rushed to try pushing the wheelchair as well. A dozen bored elderly people in wheelchairs basking in the sun were instantly delighted as well.

Zhang Jing hurriedly asked the nurse to keep an eye on the man and only allow him to push and turn the wheel on flat ground, as they were not professionals. Both parties were very happy and laughed a lot. Zhang Jing had already captured many touching moments with her camera.

In the handicraft classroom, elderly people were making handmade flowers, which also attracted the attention of visitors. The praises made the elderly people very happy.

Zhang Jing couldn't believe that someone could actually play mahjong. Seeing Da Zhuang sitting and drawing cards with the old man, Zhang Jing thought it was fantasy. It wasn't until the old man at the same table chased Da Zhuang away that she realized that Da Zhuang was actually a pretentious person, which made Zhang Jing laugh and cry.

Suddenly, melodious singing drifted from the concert hall, instantly capturing everyone's attention. Everyone followed the sound and saw several energetic elderly people gathered together, intently practicing their songs. Curious, everyone gathered to listen. Standing at the front, leading the singing, Grandpa Yang, despite being blind, relied on Grandma Jiang to guide him, seamlessly blending into the beautiful melody.

Their voices are like heavenly music, their harmony impeccable. They deliver each note with soulful delivery, their melodies piercing the depths of the soul, moving and plucked at the heartstrings.

The audience was completely immersed in this auditory feast, unable to extricate themselves. They began to applaud involuntarily, and the enthusiastic applause resounded throughout the room like thunder and lasted for a long time without stopping.

Grandpa Yang, a man of bold and generous character, hails from the vast Northeast, while Grandma Jiang, born in the picturesque Hubei province, is gentle and delicate. Fate brings these two widowed elderly people together in a nursing home.

To others, they were undoubtedly a loving couple. They were inseparable, entering and leaving various places together. Furthermore, Grandma Jiang always held Grandpa Yang's hand tightly, taking him to various activities, including singing in the choir.

However, time passed, and one year, during the joyous Lunar New Year, Grandpa Yang's children finally showed up and happily took him home to celebrate the New Year, just so that the whole family could be together and celebrate the new year together.

Just like that, the originally warm world of the two people was instantly broken, leaving Grandma Jiang alone, staying alone in this somewhat deserted nursing home.

It was only then that everyone realized, as if waking from a dream, that their relationship was not the traditional one of loving each other through thick and thin and growing old together! This truth was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone. Many of the new caregivers were unaware of this.

Zhang Jing found it difficult to comprehend such selfless devotion, for she knew all too well the deep attachment and yearning Grandma Jiang felt for Grandpa Yang. Ever since Grandpa Yang left the nursing home, Grandma Jiang had seemed to have lost her soul, becoming listless and dispirited. Worse still, she had to silently endure the cynicism and endless inquiries from those around her: "Where's Grandpa Yang?" "When will he be back?" "Why don't you go with him?" These words, like sharp daggers, pierced Grandma Jiang's already fragile heart.

As time went on, the situation worsened. Grandma Jiang's once robust health gradually weakened, and her mental state deteriorated day by day. Seeing Grandma Jiang's increasingly thin and haggard appearance, all the caregivers were filled with worry and anxiety.

Finally, this thorny issue caught the attention of the leadership. They repeatedly visited the elderly man to offer comfort, but to no avail. Faced with this situation, after careful consideration, everyone decided to hold a general meeting to discuss a solution.

At the meeting, Li Xiangyue stood at the podium with a solemn expression, her gaze sweeping over every caregiver present. In a deep, firm voice, she recounted the incident in detail and solemnly issued an order: "From now on, no one is allowed to inquire about anything related to Grandpa Yang!"

She then further emphasized, "We must maintain a calm mindset and not let our emotions get in the way. Only in this way can we better care for Grandma Jiang and ensure she can recover peacefully. We must treat every resident in the nursing home with equality and respect, ensuring they can spend a happy, peaceful, and worry-free old age here."

Is it true that once people grow old, they must seek spiritual support? This question lingered in Zhang Jing's mind for a long time. Finally, one day, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and, when no one was around, quietly asked Grandma Jiang, "Is your wholehearted love for her worth it?"

In response to Zhang Jing's question, Grandma Jiang smiled, her eyes gleaming with the wisdom gleaming with age. She spoke softly, "My children, you're still too young. When you reach my age, you'll understand the truth. Life is about finding joy and happiness. Otherwise, life will be incredibly difficult and depressing! For us, being able to enjoy each day is a great reward."

"The key is that none of us know how long anyone will live. Some things shouldn't be taken too seriously. Just treat them as a way to pass the time. When you're young, you've experienced everything. When you're old, you've already seen things more clearly."

Soon after, Grandpa Yang returned home from his trip. From then on, the couple returned to their peaceful and warm daily life. Whenever Zhang Jing saw them singing with such passion and abandon, she felt an inexplicable surge of emotion. At that moment, she finally grasped the true meaning of Grandma Jiang's words.

Outside of the nursing home, people like Grandma Jiang would be called vixen, shameless, and greedy for other people's property...

"The nursing home is a lawless place, and the children of the nursing home turn a blind eye. As long as it doesn't embarrass others outside, two old people can have an evening romance." Zhang Jing has also thought about this kind of arbitrary life.
