Sitting black and white time

Chapter 8 Bai: Simple but happy, you can have it with open hands (4)
you have good weather

Text / not summer
When the heavy snow falls in Changsha, it seems that winter has passed for a long time.The unexpected heavy snow invaded the whole city so quickly.

Holding an umbrella and walking hard on the road to the company.The elderly people who got up in the morning and rushed to buy vegetables supported each other, carefully reminding each other not to fall.Children carrying big schoolbags can't help but put down their umbrellas halfway and pick up the snow on the side of the road to play.Compared with the sweetness of the life of the elderly and the ignorance of the life of a child, I am in the embarrassing growth period of my 20s, but I don't know whether it is joy or worry.

The girls in the company gathered in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the heavy snow fall.I dug out a pack of teabags from my desk and brewed them. Watching the heat rise gradually, I picked up the teacup, and the lens was covered by a layer of white mist, just like the white world outside the window. Unclear lost.

When I was a child, many things brought me much more happiness than now.During the long-awaited winter vacation, there was a heavy snowfall, and a person silently made a snowman in the snow, making all kinds of bombs.You don’t need to worry about playing without friends, you can be happy alone; you don’t need to worry about being ugly and being laughed at by others if you fall down in the snow; blame...

After all, growing up is a lonely journey.You alone learn to be strong, learn to be patient, learn to compromise, and learn to become the you that is least like you.When I was young, I thought there were many things I couldn’t do, and I thought that I would be able to do it when I grew up, so I secretly looked forward to it every day—grow up quickly!When I grow up, I can break free from the fences that I can't do, and I can jump over...

But in the brain that is filled with joy at this moment of growing up, time has not given us the ability to grow up together, to do things that we could not do before.You think about "the man who will become One Piece", but you just look at him on the computer screen for hundreds of years and shout "I am the man who will become One Piece".And the indifference and indifference that growing up taught you has transformed you from the little boy who could spend an afternoon in the snow to the person you would be when someone said "fried chicken and beer." Sneering, the middle-aged uncle who can't keep up with the trend.

Suddenly, I really miss the time when it was snowing when I was a child running in the snow alone.Although only my own lonely footprints are left behind, in such a vast and pure whiteness, my little self seems to be the master of this world.The shock that struck me in that moment gave me the courage to believe that I am, can, be a better person.

So, it doesn’t matter if your shoes get wet from melting snow and you’re in a good mood, or you’re thrown back for countless interactions, or you’re being teased about old people’s jokes because you can’t keep up with “fried chicken and beer.” Well, it's all just, little footprints in the snow.

And I, I can definitely take these, go farther, far away.

So, being invited by a beautiful girl to eat fried chicken and drink beer together at night, that counts as a small island far away.

Wandering sunshine in the shadows

This is a story I heard, and I will be a storyteller.

Before the story begins, we make a cup of hot tea, sit on the sofa, have a piece of thick roasted seaweed cake, watch TV, and chat.The heroine of the story is a loyal fan of thick roasted seaweed pancakes. Her way of leisure is to make a pot of hot tea in the afternoon and then serve two biscuits.

The girl had a boyfriend very early, and the two have been together for three years.It is said that when a girl attended club lectures at the university, she started drawing on white paper because she was too bored. The ball of paper thrown out was picked up by the boy, and it changed from one person's amusing painting to two people playing together. Conversation, exchanging phone numbers as a matter of course, eating together later, participating in music festival activities together, and finally being together as a matter of course.

"Although I don't have much money, you can eat whatever you want." The boy didn't say anything nice, but when the girl was drooling over all kinds of food, he would always silently stand up and pay the bill. Thick roasted seaweed cake is a must-have. "Seeing her eating so satisfactorily, I also feel that I have been healed." The boy said.

But no matter how beautiful the love is, there are hesitations in the face of reality. Graduation, work, and no time to contact each other are obstacles in front of the two. When they realize it, they find that the two have not seen each other for a long time. up.

Girls are still busy with work every day, and in their spare time, they will still tear open the wrapping paper with a "squeak", and then bite the biscuit "Kazi Kazi" and drink a big mouthful of tea... Boys still get used to it when they pass by a convenience store. I bought a pack of thick roasted seaweed cakes, even though there were already a lot at home, and even though he couldn't finish it... The girl met the boy No. [-] at a fellowship organized by her classmates. It is probably the kind of person who holds an important position in an enterprise and becomes outstanding at a young age.When we met for the first time, I took good care of her. When I was eating, I would take the initiative to pull out the chair for her. Seeing that she was not very good at cutting steak, I would take the initiative to take the plate and cut it into small portions for her. When I saw that it was late, I would drive her home. Send a text message to remind her to go to bed early, the girl went to bed late and her skin is not good... The girl thought, maybe this is love, and this person is what she likes!Treating me so well is not at all like the guy who would quarrel with me, grab the remote control of the TV with me, and force me to watch basketball games with him...

While thinking this way, he cursed the person who loves to quarrel with him and grab the remote control of the TV with him...

On Valentine's Day, I called the boy, but I got a reply that I have to work overtime.The boy No. [-] called and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight, we have reserved a restaurant." The world is full of sweet couples sharing their happiness. The girl thought about it and agreed to the boy No. [-]'s invitation.Anyway, even if I don't go, boy number one won't think about coming over to find me!

Romantic French restaurant, exquisite food, attentive waiters, this kind of life is the best.After getting married and becoming a rich wife, I no longer have to worry about the rent for this season. That nasty boss deducts my salary in different ways, and my new colleagues always look down on me...

"This is a Valentine's Day gift for you." Boy No. [-] sat across the dining table and pushed over a small box.The girl opened it, and a pair of exquisite earrings lay inside.

"Do you like it? This is a limited edition specially selected for you!"

The girl put the gift back and said with a smile that she liked it, but she couldn't help but reached out and touched her ear.Hasn't he noticed the fact that I don't have pierced ears in all this time?
You see, some things, no matter how beautiful they are, may not be suitable for you!
Rejecting the "I'll take you home" from boy number two this time, the girl went home by herself, carrying that heavy but useless gift.When she got home, she saw extinguished cigarette butts and a box of thick roasted seaweed cakes at the door of the house.Boy No. [-] lied, appeared quietly, and brought this box of thick roasted seaweed cakes that he bought when we didn't meet each other. Because he didn't wait for the girl, he had to leave it at the door, and then went home by himself.

You see, some things, no matter how cheap they are, are still your favorite...

When it comes to the number one boy, the girl’s mouth is still full of disgust, but she can’t hide her sweetness: “Although I was really disappointed with him halfway, I also felt that there are too many boys who are better than him, and I also once loved the second boy. No. I was a little tempted, but the so-called going out of society, no, the so-called living, maybe it’s just falling in love with a man whose heartbeat index is not as good as others. Didn’t someone say that? This person will lose his temper with me, because of me Ignore him and Tsundere ignores me, he will grab the remote control from me, but he knows what I want most, and I also think that eating thick seaweed pancakes with him is the happiest thing."

Maybe, sometimes, the taste of happiness is a kind of plain, but special taste to you.Maybe at a certain stage you have lost, doubted, or disbelieved, but the person you should meet will always meet again at this intersection or the next corner.This time, you should hold tightly to the taste of happiness that belongs to you. Even if it tastes like seaweed, it is also your own taste.

So, what is your exclusive taste?
Love and fear along the way

There is a bridge on the way from the company to the bus station.When it is hot, there will always be a gust of wind with the slight fishy smell of the river, which can be regarded as a cool experience in summer... It always reminds me of girls in uniforms riding bicycles when the sun is setting. figure of...

It was past eight o'clock after the dinner party that day, and the street at night was very quiet, and the sound of the river flowing against the small stones could be clearly heard in the ears.Under the bright moonlight, the surface of the water is sparkling. If it is said that the river fish princess will appear at this time, I also think it should be possible.

Just as I was intoxicated in this summer wind blowing night, I felt that I was hit by something, and then I heard a crisp sound of metal falling to the ground.I turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone, looked down and saw a bunch of keys with cute ornaments at my feet... I knew it was a girl's item at a glance.I bent down to pick it up, and the girl walking towards me not far away is undoubtedly the owner of this item.The girl walked over wearing high heels, her figure was a little shaky, and the rhythm of the high heels that I usually hear seemed to be plucked at random...

"Yes... I'm sorry! I just wanted to throw away the key, but I didn't expect to hit you!" After finishing speaking, the girl suddenly bowed her head and apologized to me.I was a little worried, would she fall headfirst if she exerted so much force?

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt! Return the key to you, keep it away!"

Putting the keys in her palm, she saw the bus coming and was about to get on the bus when the girl suddenly took off her high heels and squatted on the side of the road crying loudly.I still know a little bit about gentlemanly demeanor. Anyway, there is a 2-minute intersection, so I am embarrassed to just walk away.

"Here you are." I handed her the tissue, but she wasn't polite, so she wiped away her tears and wiped her nose loudly.

"I was dumped. God knows, we haven't seen each other for so long, so we hurriedly called me out, and the result was to break up with me... After being together for so long, I am ready to marry him in the future... Said What, we have no intersection in the future, why didn't we say this at the beginning..."

Probably too sad, the girl's posture changed from squatting to sitting.Thinking it would be a protracted battle, I didn't care too much, so I just sat down.

"Actually, I know that our lives don't intersect. Later, we just met each other for a short time and told each other about our lives. There was no synchronization at all. We just cared about each other out of habit or kindness! Sick In order to take care of each other, to encourage each other when the other party lacks the courage to move forward... Originally, I worked hard so that one day we could live together. However, I don't know what happened, and even this only common ground is constantly passing away... ..."

The whole process of the story is roughly understood in the words: after graduation, she entered the marketing department of a large company without knowing anything, and he, who became a music producer, began to spend less time together, and finally waited for her to become a member of the company. The mainstay of the album, and the records he made finally showed signs of selling well. I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect that as the two grew up, more time was spent on work.After making records for four years, the boy suddenly became interested in photography, and then quit his job to study photography... And then, he heard the words "break up..."

"We were both so bad that the refrigerator was so empty that there was only spices left. I thought we had gone through so much together, but he told me that he fell in love with someone who studied photography together... I, although I know, but , I can't face it with ease..."

"Why don't you learn photography as well, so that you have something in common." I came up with a bad idea, but the girl giggled.

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. It doesn't make any sense to try to find something in common!"

From the two people who didn't know each other, to the person who can hold hands and move forward together, and then broke up peacefully, everyone has gone through a very difficult journey!Accompany each other for a period of time, grow up with each other in this company, and experience the touch, anger, worry, and loneliness that have never been experienced in life. This experience must be a treasure in life!

The girl played with the key in the moonlight: "This is the spare key of his house. When he gave me this key a few years ago, I was really excited. Even if it was just a spare key, but thinking that from now on, The person closest to him is me, so I can't help but be a little proud. When he is so busy with the record, preparing meals for him, cleaning the room, these trivial things still make me happy... It's just this person It's not mine after all..."

The sound disappeared suddenly, like a shooting star across the night sky, dragging its long tail and drawing a lonely arc.

"Although you can no longer open the room that this key can lead to, but the moment you receive the key, the beauty of the world and the change of scenery you feel are already in your memory. With that Mutual help, understanding, tacit understanding and trust between two people, these are the gifts you once had, and will not disappear in your world! This key is also, it has been opened for you The gate of the new world teaches you how to love and cherish someone, these things will not disappear, the meteor is short, but it really appeared.”

Accompanied by the sound of "squeaking" river water, occasionally one or two calls of frogs, and meeting you by chance sitting on the bridge and listening to your story, such memories will not dissipate, these are things that cannot be discarded , just like your memories of love.
