After two years, 52-year-old Aunt Guo is slowly enjoying a pension of more than 3,000 yuan per month. Her partner is long gone, her daughter is still pursuing a graduate degree, and her parents are healthy. After retiring, she always wanted to find something to keep her busy life.
At first, Aunt Guo went to work in a supermarket or help people look after the store, but she always felt that this was not her favorite job. One day, she accidentally chatted with a master on a park bench**. The old master mentioned her current predicament.
The master said that he could take care of himself, but his only daughter was married and had children, and the couple did not want to cause trouble to their daughter. They want to find a live-in nanny, but they don't think it's necessary, and they want to find a part-time job, but they find it too expensive.
Aunt Guo then asked if she just wanted to find someone to cook and clean every week. The old master was surprised to say that she understood the thoughts of the elderly, and it was in this way that both money and help were saved.
Back home, Aunt Guo thought deeply and carefully examined how many similar elderly people there were in the community. She suddenly had an idea and decided to start a "new type of nanny" service in the community, where she did not live at home and was not a part-time worker, helping the elderly in need with housework. Living a nourishing life, I realized that there was more loneliness and longing hidden in it. They may not need material support from others, but they need to be seen and loved. So, I decided to expand my services to more communities and help more seniors in need.
I started to take the initiative to communicate with various groups in the community, tell them about my services, and encourage more people to join in this loving action. Gradually, I found that more and more young people were willing to dedicate their time and energy to help these humble old people. They get involved by taking time off, adjusting their working hours, and even giving up weekend breaks.
In my heart, these young people are like the backbone of the community, and they interpret the love of life and care for the disadvantaged with their actions. I am very happy to see them talking with the elderly and smiling their faces. This is not only a volunteer activity, but also a baptism of the soul and the sublimation of emotions.
Gradually, a beautiful legend spread in the community that there was a group of young people who warmed the cold world with their hands and love on ordinary working days. They don't ask for anything in return, they just hope to find the most sincere happiness in the smile of the old man.
It is this simple and profound emotional exchange that makes the community more welcoming and harmonious. The old people no longer feel lonely and helpless, and the young people are proud and satisfied that they can do something small for others. This kind of love transmission not only inspires them to love life more, but also fills the whole community with positive energy and upward strength.
In this seemingly ordinary community, each of us can be a light that illuminates the lives of others and our own hearts. Let's work together to spread love and warmth, make communities a better place, and fill the world with love. This is what I have always believed in, and it is also the original intention that I am willing to give everything for it. Today's elderly people are not lacking in material life, and what they desire in their hearts is the exchange of ideas, which we often ignore. I was a little surprised when Mrs. Su, a 78-year-old lady in the community, left me a message asking me to go to her house in the evening to chat with her, and she even said that she could pay by the hour. When I first visited, I was a little nervous and worried that I wouldn't have a speculative conversation with the elderly.
At first, I was nervously listening to Mrs. Su's stories from distant distances or family allusions. Occasionally, I'll respond a little, but more often than not, I'm listening to the old man.
By the second night, I had come to understand what Mrs. Su was looking forward to, and she longed for the company of a child. So I brought homemade snacks, made tea for her, and talked with her about the world.
After getting along many times, Mrs. Su not only ordered food in front of me and asked me to help clean up, but also invited me to her home regularly to share refreshments and talk with her.
The old people don't really want too much, they just want someone to be by their side, listen to their voices, and recognize their existence, which is enough. My unique experience at Sunset Industries taught me that everyone can be a guardian of their community. After working silently for half a year, I finally found a few old friends who I had worked with before and devoted myself to this heartwarming cause together. We have set up a community where everyone in need is welcome to join, and every day we post the next day's menu in the group to provide pre-order services for those in need. According to the requirements of the old people, several of us cooked the meals on time and delivered them to them personally.
In addition, we are committed to providing medical assistance to older people who are not caring for them, including taking them to the hospital or collecting medication. The five of us have different responsibilities and different incomes.
Whether it's companionship or pampering, my main focus at the moment is to help the people we connect with build deep emotional connections. Whether it's a single elderly person or a young person who needs a talk urgently, I listen to them and provide psychological support when appropriate.
These jobs have sparked my thirst for knowledge, and I need to read more books and learn to communicate better with the elderly and with the young. Since working in the community as this "new type of nanny", I have found that the income is not inferior to the traditional labor income.
As an energetic older person who retires, I have grown as I help others. I am very pleased to be able to create the "Sunset Industry" with like-minded sisters and continue to grow this business. Chat about the rest of your life and savor the beauty of life together. If you have a story, share the story in your heart with me, and let words build an emotional bridge between us.
Let's talk about the idea of a community "nursery" for the elderly, just like a "nursery", to give a warm home to the elderly who need help. They will be brought in on time every day and brought home at the right time, so that they no longer feel lonely and their children can work without worry.
Our community is remote, but that's why it's in need of it. The community is large and there are many elderly people, and there is a growing demand for this service.
At first, this project was just a dream for a few of us, but we hope that through our own efforts and help, more elderly people can enjoy happiness. For those of us who are young retirees, it is also a happy way to earn money and make life more fulfilling and meaningful.
**10,000 Fans Incentive Program We look forward to expanding the impact of this project and helping more seniors. At the same time, we also hope that more capable retirees can join us and contribute to the harmony and beauty of the society. Let everyone's old age be smooth and comfortable, full of warmth and joy.
Luxurious Zen heart, invite you to pay attention and share together. Walk into your heart, let words become a bridge of communication between us, and share the touching and warmth of life together.
