The Elderly’s Home

Li Ting listened to Luo Xiao's words, slowly walked in front of the elderly, and then simply had them do some movements and sing a few lines of a song.

Soon, she frowned and walked back to Luo Xiao, looking at him with some difficulty and saying, "You want these elderly people to form a song and dance troupe?"

"Why not? Don't worry, these elderly people have all had physical examinations at the hospital. They don't have any major illnesses. They have some minor issues, but we've consulted doctors, and there are no problems that would affect their normal life and work." Luo Xiao quickly explained.

As the elderly were sent over in batches, he would immediately take them for physical examinations at the hospital, and then arrange suitable work according to their health conditions.

For example, those who were physically weak would be arranged to the Clothing Factory to do some sweeping and cleaning, tasks that didn't require too much effort.

The elderly in front of him were all those with excellent health, selected after their physical examinations.

Li Ting shook her head helplessly at his words.

"It's not a question of whether they're healthy or not. It's that these elderly people have never danced before. Their bones and ligaments have already set. They can't do some of the high-difficulty movements in dance."

"Can't they be trained slowly?"

"They can't be trained. If they were in their 50s, there would still be a chance for training, but these elderly people are probably in their 60s or 70s. It's not feasible to train high-difficulty movements at this age. Forcing them would cause harm to their bodies." Li Ting explained.

Is that so?

Luo Xiao frowned slightly. Forcing training would cause harm to these elderly people's bodies, which was definitely not acceptable.

President Chen brought these elderly people over primarily to help them. If he were to harm them for the sake of training, it would undoubtedly go against President Chen's original intention.

And it wasn't the result he wanted either.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Li Ting and tentatively asked, "Then what if we don't train those high-difficulty movements, and just do some simple basic dance movements, and then rehearse a dance?"

"If it's just training some basic dance movements, there's no problem, and a dance can be rehearsed. But this dance would lack some excitement. If it were to participate in a competition, it would be difficult to win a prize." Li Ting looked at the elderly people in the Room and slowly said.

"Then it's settled. We'll do those basic dances. Teacher Li, take a look, which of these elderly people are suitable?" Luo Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

These elderly people were all brought from impoverished mountainous areas. It was simply unrealistic to find elderly people with dance experience.

And President Chen's requirement was to select members for the elderly song and dance troupe from these elderly people, so they could only abandon those high-difficulty dance trainings.

"Then those three." Li Ting pointed to three elderly people.

Luo Xiao saw this and recorded the names of the three elderly people. Then he took Li Ting and left this apartment, going to another apartment, where eight elderly people were also standing.

When he brought Li Ting to select candidates for the elderly song and dance troupe, he had grouped the healthy elderly people into groups of eight, waiting in an apartment Room.

After all, only two elderly people lived in one apartment. If they didn't gather these elderly people, it would be too much trouble for them to run from Room to Room.

And so it went.

After entering three apartment Rooms in a row, the suitable candidates for the elderly song and dance troupe had been selected.

"Alright, Teacher Li, these are all the elderly people for now. If there are more elderly people later, I'll bring you over to select them again. I'll trouble you with training these elderly people." Leaving the apartment Room, Luo Xiao said to Li Ting.

Li Ting nodded subconsciously at his words, but at this moment, she had a hint of doubt in her heart.

Where did Luo Xiao find these elderly people? And looking at their reactions and their reserved demeanor, they didn't seem like the elderly people from the Municipality.

They were more like the elderly people in the villages she visited when she went home for the New Year.

As she was thinking, just as she was about to ask, she heard Luo Xiao's phone ring.

A moment later, Luo Xiao hung up the phone and turned to Li Ting.

"Teacher Li, another batch of elderly people has arrived at the apartment. I'll go pick them up." Saying that, he walked towards the elevator.

Another batch of elderly people arrived at the apartment? Li Ting listened to Luo Xiao's words, and a bad image couldn't help but flash through her mind.

Looking at Luo Xiao walking towards the elevator, a terrifying thought couldn't help but rise in her heart.

Could this Luo Xiao be a human trafficker?

But she quickly dismissed this thought. How could a human trafficker be so blatant?

Thinking to herself, she quickly followed him. She wanted to see what was going on.

Soon, the two entered the elevator, arrived on the first floor, and walked out of the apartment.

Outside, two commercial vehicles were parked at the entrance, and in front of the commercial vehicles stood several elderly people and two women.

"President Song, General Manager Su, thank you for your trouble." Luo Xiao looked at the elderly people outside and quickly went to greet them.

"No trouble. These elderly people are a bit reserved because they've just entered a big city. You need to pay more attention to them." Su Dan gestured to the elderly people behind her and instructed.

"Don't worry, we've already prepared for this." Luo Xiao smiled confidently. As soon as he finished speaking, two middle-aged women quickly walked out of the apartment.

They soon arrived there.

"General Manager Luo!" The two women looked at Luo Xiao and greeted him.

"Mm!" "These elderly people are in your hands." Luo Xiao nodded faintly. The two middle-aged women then walked in front of the elderly people and began to converse softly. Soon, the elderly people, who had been very reserved, gradually began to relax.

Then, they followed the two middle-aged women into the apartment.

Song Xia looked at this scene and asked curiously, "They are…?"

"Oh! They are the psychological counselors we hired. Because these elderly people have just come from impoverished mountainous areas, not only do they have physical health problems, but they may also have some psychological issues. So, currently, we provide some psychological counseling to these elderly people every day." Luo Xiao looked at the two women who had already taken the elderly people into the apartment and explained.

Since the elderly people entered the apartment in batches, these elderly people had been living in isolation in impoverished mountainous areas for a long time, and coupled with suddenly entering an unfamiliar environment, they were under a lot of psychological pressure.

To solve the elderly people's psychological problems, he specifically hired a psychological counseling team to provide psychological counseling to the elderly every day.

"General Manager Luo is thoughtful. Since the elderly people have been delivered, we'll take our leave." Song Xia nodded, then said goodbye and left. Their itinerary during this period had also been very tiring, and now they just wanted to go home and rest well.

Li Ting saw Song Xia and Su Dan leave, then turned to Luo Xiao.

"Those elderly people are all from impoverished mountainous areas?" This was what she had just learned from their conversation, but she still didn't quite understand why General Manager Luo brought these elderly people from impoverished mountainous areas. Was it just to select candidates for the elderly song and dance troupe?

But there were many elderly people with dance experience in the Municipality. Selecting elderly people from impoverished mountainous areas seemed unreliable no matter how she thought about it.

Moreover, he even hired psychological counselors for this, which significantly increased the cost.
