the most beautiful time

Chapter 10 I'm waiting for you after the show (2)

A friend of mine was so poor for a year that he couldn't even get a meal in Beijing.I was fortunate enough to meet a cultural businessman in my downfall, and after just talking a few words, I enthusiastically recommended a job to my friend.Although the work is very hard, but can eat and stay for free, greatly reducing the pressure of survival of friends.My friend is a kind person. He spent more than half of the first month's salary and bought a gift for the businessman.The businessman didn't value his friend at first, thinking that he was just a troubled young man from Bei Piao, and he just helped out of sympathy.Besides, my friend didn't see the slightest sign of being famous, and he was just a passerby.But friends still express their hearts by mentioning gifts during the Chinese New Year.

After two years of casual acquaintance, one day the businessman suddenly called and said that because his small company's loan from the bank was delayed, he wondered if he could temporarily borrow 3 yuan, and promised to pay it back in one month. For a businessman, 3 yuan is just a drop in the bucket, but for friends at that time, it was a considerable sum, almost equivalent to all his savings.If someone knows about it, it is better to advise their friends to be careful, because it is vaguely heard that the merchant's small company seems to be operating in debt.But the friend didn't care about anything, and gave 3 yuan to the businessman very loyally.A month later, it was heard that the businessman's company went bankrupt, and he not only fled with all the money, but also did not return any of the money he defrauded from relatives and friends.Everyone thought that a friend would regret it, but he smiled lightly and said: I would rather be deceived than forget the hand that gave charcoal in the snow. Friendship hits my heart more than deception.

And one of my former colleagues once loved a girl very deeply.This girl did indeed give him a pure and fragrant love. At that time, we all envied him. Such a beautiful and intelligent woman was actually caught up by the ordinary him.Later, the girl was admitted to a university in Zhejiang to study as a graduate student, and the two of them have been separated from each other since then.But her colleagues' love for her is still warm and strong.But outsiders could see that the girl began to distance himself from him day by day.There are acquaintances who are in the same university as her, and it is rumored that she is actually in love with a handsome and accomplished man.But my colleagues never believed this, and wrote her letters one by one as usual, mailing her favorite clothes and snacks.

A year later, the girl we hadn't seen for a long time suddenly came to him with a rare tenderness on her face.We thought she regretted it and wanted to reconnect with her friends.It was later discovered that the girl's father was seriously ill and needed someone to take care of her, but the girl needed to study and was unable to take care of her herself.During that time, the colleague was as happy as when he first fell in love. Even though he was so busy at work, he still went to bed with him every day, and got up in the middle of the night to scrub the dirty sheets for the old man.He didn't even think about the money needed for each operation, so he went to withdraw it.When the old man finally recovered, there was not much money left over the years he had saved.But that's when we should have heard his happy event the most, the girl proposed to break up; and there was no room for her colleagues to maneuver, so she made a kiss with that young talent.We went to comfort our colleagues one after another, but he was still as calm as before, saying: Moths know that it is fire, but they still go on and on; love is the same, I know she has fallen in love with someone else, but my love for her still makes me willing For her false truth, I will give up everything.

And my mother, is it even more stupid?When she was hit by a car and broke her leg when I was 6 years old, she heard people say that if people go to the temple on the mountain more than ten miles away, if people donate some incense money every day, all the worries in their hearts will be eliminated one by one.She really rode there every day, and prayed to God to bless me for a speedy recovery, and don't leave ugly scars, because her beloved daughter still dances and wears beautiful skirts.I didn't know until later that it was just a joke made by others, but my mother didn't regret it at all, saying that even if people cheated me of money at that time, I would give it without hesitation.

When I was 20 years old and was studying in college, I liked to make jokes. On April Fool’s Day, I suddenly wanted to tease my parents, so I said that I would take the car home in the afternoon to have dinner. .There was no mobile phone at that time, and none of my classmates knew how to contact me.It was a classmate I met on the Internet later, who told me that my mother had notified everyone I knew to help find me everywhere, thinking that I was in danger on the road, otherwise it was so late, why didn’t I come home?Although many classmates comforted her, it might just be an April Fool's Day joke, because I go home once every two weeks, which has basically become a routine, and it must be a lie to break it suddenly.But my mother refused to believe it no matter what. When she saw me, she burst into tears and laughed, and said: Seeing you, my mother is relieved.She was actually playing a joke on me, without even a word of reproach.

This kind of deception is full of our life, those irrelevant people will feel resentful and sad when they meet; but the person immersed in love and gratitude is completely unaware; That kindness will dissolve the deception, leaving only a touch of warmth, giving him what he stubbornly believes in.

Xu Chan and I met in college. We both participated in the work-study program organized by the school at that time, and we often helped the teachers in the department sort out materials or proofread.It's just that I'm purely doing it to deal with my parents, to let them see that I'm a silly girl, and I'm no longer as lazy as I used to be, which will give them a headache.As for Xu Chan, it was entirely for the purpose of making money.She comes from a poor mountainous area in the west. When my parents and I talk on the phone almost every day, she can only keep in touch with her family by writing letters; passed.My mother felt sorry for Xu Chan who was alone, so she often asked me to bring her something. Every one or two months, she would drive over to take us home to satisfy our hunger.So in just half a year, Xu Chan and I became the closest friends.When it was so hard that she needed money, I would directly tell her the password of the passbook and let her take it to get it; when it was so hard that she knew that I also had a crush on the same boy, she immediately withdrew and deliberately created all kinds of "encounters" for me. This love splits thorns and thorns.

I remember that when Xu Chan’s mother was sick and hospitalized once when paying tuition fees, she not only spent all the tuition fees she had just collected, but also owed a large sum of money.According to the regulations, the school can only give Xu Chan a part of the tuition fee reduction.When I learned that Xu Chan cried alone because of this matter, I criticized her severely, and then gave her 4 yuan, and said with a smile, I lent you this, remember , the return period is 1 years.Xu Chan hugged me while I was laughing, and once again cried my heart into a vast ocean with abundant tears.

Of course, Xu Chan didn't have the ability to repay this money before she graduated, but she repaid my friendship with double goodness.I mentioned that I like to eat cantaloupe once in a while, and she made a special trip home during that summer vacation, picked the biggest two from her home, and took the train back overnight.I complained that it was inconvenient to do laundry in winter, but she quietly cleaned all my piles of dirty clothes without saying hello to me.I am too lazy to be on duty, so Xu Chan must accompany me to tidy up everything on the day of my duty before rushing to class.And in the pain I have to go through every month, Xu Chan takes good care of me, and she knows whether I want to drink water or take medicine when I look at my eyes carefully.Some classmates often joked that even a boyfriend is not as good to you as Xu Chan.And I once said to a boy who was chasing me, if you are not half as nice to me as Xu Chan, you should hide as soon as possible.Later, the boy really retreated in the face of Xu Chan's thoughtfulness and tenderness.

Xu Chan, who has excellent grades, was recommended by the school to study in a key university in Beijing after graduation; and I, because of my laziness, spent four years in college doing nothing, and finally got a job in a bank with the help of my parents.In the three years of graduate school, Xu Chan still hasn't forgotten me. We are in frequent contact with each other through the Internet and telephone.It wasn't until later that I started to fall in love, and Xu Chan also had a beautiful love, and that full enthusiasm was slowly transferred to her boyfriend.Xu Chan remitted 4 yuan to me when he finished his postgraduate year without saying a word.And I didn't say anything, bought a plane ticket with the money, and flew to Beijing alone to congratulate her on successfully finding a job.

It has been 3 years since we saw each other, Xu Chan insisted that I stay with her for a few more days.Three years is not a long time, but it has clearly carved its mark on us.Xu Chan is no longer that shy girl with low self-esteem. Not only has she made many friends who are many times better than me, but her thoughts and concepts are very different from mine in a small city.And I am no longer that stupid and stupid "ignorant" girl; what I chatted with Xu Chan endlessly, apart from houses, cars and diamond rings, is the income of people around me, my own scenery and pride.At the first meal, I eagerly told Xu Chan about my boyfriend's prominent family background and career prospects.I thought that Xu Chan would listen carefully to every word I said and keep it in her heart like before; but her eyes were erratic and her expression was indifferent, and she even repeatedly called me when I was the most excited. interrupt.As for the second meal with Xu Chan's elite friends, I became a supporting role.But in order to show the deep friendship between Xu Chan and me, I still showed off many past events that proved the indestructible friendship between us in front of her friends.Among them, I have borrowed money from Xu Chan N times, and sponsored her tuition fees of 1 years.Her friends, in front of the deep friendship I described, all cast admiration in a more or less deep way; but Xu Chan's face is getting darker day by day.In the end, she interrupted me coldly and said, those old things in the past, why bring them up, let's talk about more interesting topics.This sentence extinguished all my enthusiasm in an instant.

I finally decided to return a few days early, and Xu Chan did not stay as kindly as before.She just said softly, and then said: That's fine, we are all very busy, we will meet again when we have a chance.The chance to meet again, we all understand each other, but in fact, it is getting less and less.Perhaps, it is a more perfect way to put this friendship in memory.People say that it is better to miss each other than to meet each other, and it turns out to be true.

On the way back by train, I thought of the self who boasted and talked about spit splashing in front of Xu Chan, and remembered that I was in such a hurry to show my best side to my friends, but it was because, in my heart, I was inferior.Xu Chan, who used to be much different than me, once flew in front of me and left me far away, the most unbearable person was me, who claimed to be her strongest friend.And a friendship that was originally intact in the imbalance has finally developed an embarrassing crack because of one person's fear and another person's cover-up.

The kindness and return that once represented our supreme friendship, just turned around like this, and indifferently blocked our way of walking hand in hand.
