The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 260: I was so stupid when I was a child, actually looking forward to growing up
Chat until dawn.

Wang Luodan fell into a deep sleep, snoring softly.

Zhou You got up gently, washed up, got dressed and walked downstairs.

There are still very few pedestrians on the road.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, can there be more people?

During the Chinese New Year, big cities are like empty cities. All the outsiders have gone home to celebrate the New Year, and only a few locals are left.

Occasionally, you can see a few delivery riders delivering food, wearing yellow and blue clothes, riding electric scooters and whizzing by. They receive three times the subsidy during the New Year. For some people, it is just a sum of extra money, and they may not be willing to go home. .

Maybe there is no home anymore.

I was ignorant when I was a child.

I thought everyone had a happy family and parents who loved me. But when I got older, I realized that the world is so big and there are all kinds of scum. I felt lucky more than once when I grew up.

Although the family has no money, they have a complete family and a relatively fast childhood.

People will forget pain. When they grow up, they will only remember the happy things from their childhood, and those pains will be forgotten.

Once I read Mr. Lao She's book "I was so stupid when I was young, I actually looked forward to growing up". At that time, when I was at a low point in my life, I wanted to go back to my childhood more than once, to the time when I was protected by my parents.

However, how can we turn back time?

When I was a child, I looked forward to growing up and making money so that I could buy the snacks and toys I wanted.

But when I got my salary and went to the supermarket after graduation, I no longer felt interested in those toys. Instead, I felt empty, and a dull feeling came to my heart that could not be dissipated for a long time.

When I got older, I pursued different things, but I found that I still couldn't afford them, just like when I was a child.

When Zhou You realized this truth, a deep sadness lingered around Zhou You. At that time, he felt that life was boring. He might struggle all his life but still not be able to satisfy his wishes.

That deep feeling of powerlessness wrapped Zhou You tightly, making it difficult to breathe due to the depression.

When I was a kid, I didn’t understand why adults loved drinking.
It tastes so bad

I didn’t know until I grew up
than life
The wine does taste much better

Zhou You's character has always been like this. When he sees poor people, he feels pity. When he sees good people being bullied, he can't help but feel angry. When he sees unfair things, he wants to seek justice.

It wasn't until Zhou You realized that he was an ordinary person, a kind person, and someone who was bullied.

I grew up traveling around.

Never want justice again.

Because he is the one being bullied!

Now that I have the opportunity, I will never worry about money again, at least until my desire becomes bigger.

But Zhou You is still an ordinary person. In the secular world, how can he do whatever he wants without any fetters.

The emperor was not free, let alone a small rich man.

What will you do in the future?
Now my desires have basically been realized and I am very satisfied with my life, but why has my happiness level dropped? Has it reached the limit of happiness?

Or am I already used to my current life.

Living in Lanshi for a long time does not smell its fragrance, living in Bao City for a long time does not smell its stink.

After adapting to the current life and being in a happy atmosphere every day, you may not be happy anymore.There is a theory mentioned in Harvard's happiness class.

Human happiness is innate, but it can be cultivated.

For example, if you get a promotion and a salary increase, you are very happy at the time, but after a few months, you will return to your previous level of happiness, which is a curve that first goes up and then goes down.

However, Zhou You was thinking if he could continue to be happy if his salary kept rising.

This is just like playing games. It always gives you a channel for upgrading, which can attract many people to subconsciously pursue it. Even if they realize in the end that it doesn't make much sense, they still want to pursue that goal.

Zhouyou wandered aimlessly like this. When he came to a corner, he turned around and looked at the shops on the roadside. Most of them were closed. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the city was still sleeping.

Suddenly, Zhou You saw a ball of steam steaming in front of him. Occasionally, a pedestrian stopped somewhere, but his sight was blocked by the corner. Zhou You was eager to know what was there, so his pace quickened a little.

Now that I have walked, I feel a slight warmth in my body. I want to unzip my clothes. As soon as I unzip the zipper, a gust of wind blows over me. Zhou You is so scared that he quickly zips it up again.

As we get closer and closer to the mist, there is still a fragrance floating in the air, and more and more people are crowding in front of the mist.

Zhou You quickened his pace, finally reached the corner, and hurriedly stretched his head to take a look.

It's a breakfast stall.

Walking forward, an older couple, about 60 to [-] years old, wearing thick aprons, the man was frying fried dough sticks and spring rolls in the oil pan, and the woman was selling steamed buns, porridge, and soy milk.

Zhou You sniffed the fragrance in the air.

The world is full of fireworks.

There were no tables or stools on the roadside, and no one was sitting there to eat, so it was a bit confusing to travel around.

He asked softly: "Hello, can't you sit down and eat here?"

"Sorry, there is no place to sit. The venue is too small. It would be too troublesome to leave until daytime." The woman explained.

"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry. Give me some fried dough sticks and soy milk, and I'll stand next to you and eat it." You don't have to be particular about traveling around, just eat some.

After one bite of the fried dough sticks, they are caramelized on the outside and soft and glutinous on the inside. They are a favorite among pasta lovers.

Prickly, stably, take a few sips of soy milk.

comfortable
"You guys are celebrating the Chinese New Year, why don't you stay at home for a few more days?" Zhou You was eating and chatting, a little curious.
"My child left early and I was busy with work. I left in the third grade of junior high school. We, the old couple, had nothing to do at home, so we left the stall a few days earlier." Seeing that there were not many people, the female stall owner happened to chat.

"Is there anyone coming to the stall so early? I don't think there are many people. Most people are not at work?" Zhou You did some calculations and estimated that it would only be enough to maintain capital.

"Anyway, idle time is idle. Besides, whether it's Chinese New Year or not, there are always patients in the hospital. Look at the hospital opposite, the lights are always bright." The male stall owner also took a break, straightened up, and looked at the inventory. He probably had enough sold.

Zhou You followed his eyes and looked towards the opposite side. Several huge buildings came into view, some were more than ten stories high, and some were estimated to be more than twenty stories high. They were brightly lit, and through the lights, one could see the blurry figures in the room. .

There is an outpatient building and an inpatient building, and the big characters on the head are always flashing there.

I was probably focused on the breakfast stall just now, and subconsciously ignored the building opposite.

"It would be quite miserable if I can't go back for the New Year." Zhou You sighed.

"Yes, if you are sick, have no money, and set up a stall in front of the hospital every day, you can hardly see smiling faces. Only those who are about to be discharged can show some relief on their faces." Even though the female stall owner said to He said that he was also lobbying Zhou.

But who is not sick?
