The summer sun is like golden silk, gently spreading in the courtyard of Ah Xing's house. Ah Xing sat in a rocking chair in the shade of a tree, playing with his father's old-fashioned pocket watch in his hand, and his thoughts drifted away.
"Ah Xing, do you know that the age classification standard for the elderly has changed now?" his father's voice suddenly broke the silence, and he slowly walked out of the house on crutches.
Ah Xing looked up to meet his father's gentle gaze, and he replied with a smile, "Yes? I really don't know, Dad." ”
"Haha, of course you don't know, this is a new standard that has only recently been announced. Father sat down next to Ah Xing and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Do you know, now our country defines 60 to 74 years old as young and elderly, 75 to 89 years old as middle-aged and middle-aged, and over 90 years old as the elderly." ”
Ah Xing listened and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, you are considered a young and old man." ”
My father smiled, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I'm still young." But do you know that this new standard is not just a change in numbers, it reflects our country's attention and importance to the quality of life and health of the elderly. ”
Ah Xing nodded, he knew that his father was a person who loved to learn and think, and he could always see the progress of the times from some subtle changes. He asked curiously, "Then what does this new standard mean for us juniors?"
My father pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This new standard makes us more aware that old age is not the end of life, but a new starting point. We should respect the elderly, pay attention to their needs, and let them enjoy a better quality of life. At the same time, this new standard also reminds us to cherish and accompany our families more, especially those who are entering the young and middle-aged stage. ”
Ah Xing listened, and a warm current surged in his heart. He remembered the bits and pieces of his father growing up with him when he was a child, and those warm pictures seemed to be right in front of him. He held his father's hand tightly and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely accompany you and my mother well." ”
Father smiled and nodded, his eyes full of relief. He stood up and patted Ah Xing on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go prepare lunch." It's a sunny day and it's a good time to enjoy a good meal. ”
Ah Xing walked into the kitchen with his father and began to get busy. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, and the courtyard was filled with the sound of cicadas, and everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.
After lunch, Ah Xing accompanied his father for a walk in the courtyard. They chatted about home, talked about the future, and enjoyed this rare summer time. Ah Xing looked at his father's wrinkled face and eyes full of wisdom, and his heart was full of gratitude and love.
As the sun set, Ah Xing helped his father back to the house. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently covered his father with the quilt. Looking at his father's peaceful sleeping face, A Xing felt a sigh of emotion in his heart: The years are ruthless, but we can choose to warm the hearts of our families with love and companionship. This new age division standard for the elderly not only reminds us to pay attention to the quality of life of the elderly, but also makes us understand the importance of family. In the days to come, we should cherish the time with our families even more and create more beautiful memories together.
Ah Xing stood up and gently closed the door, his heart full of hope and understanding. He knows that no matter how the years change, the warmth and companionship of home will never change. And in the courtyard at noon on this summer day, the happy time of their family will always be recorded.
