"Every era has the mark of each era, such as my grandmother's generation, they were also poor, starved, ate a big pot of rice, went to the mountains and went to the countryside, they have suffered all their lives, and they should enjoy happiness when they are old and refuse to be idle, they get up every day before the sun comes out, they really have nothing to do and take a broom to sweep here and there in front of the gate, and they can't wait to sweep the road down a layer. ”

Since Jiang He came, Xu Qing has unconsciously become chattering, and he is forced to chatter when he has nothing to do, but Jiang He still likes to listen, just like listening to stories, it is very fresh.

"Later, when my dad and their generation came, life began to change for the better...... In fact, it's not very good, but it's much better than the previous generation, especially when he grows up, the house is very stable, and it's good to concentrate on doing his own thing, so they have a fanatical pursuit of the iron rice bowl, and they also want their children to enter the establishment, eat imperial grain, and ensure income in drought and flood. ”

"What about you?" Jiang He didn't seem to understand, but he only roughly knew that the establishment was equivalent to doing things for the government.

"I am the latest generation, pursuing the meaning of life, the meaning of life. ”

"The meaning of life?"

"Yes, the meaning of life, often reflect on why we live and what we live for. Xu Qing looked like a philosopher, stretched out his finger and pushed his glasses that didn't exist.

"What's the point?" Jiang He was stunned.

"The meaning of life is to come and come. ”

"All here?"

Jiang He was even more confused.

"Yes, it's all here, so I'm alive. Xu Qing shrugged, "Then there is a second meaning, that is, happiness, or freedom - come and come, of course, you have to live a little more moisturized, so that you don't have too many regrets, you don't have to compare with others, each family is bitter and sweet, they are all cold and warm self-knowing, I know that I am warm enough, simply put, life is short, enjoy the moment." ”

"Of course, this is not all the ideas of the new generation, but this kind of thinking belongs to the new generation, and it may not be obvious now, but in many years, the imprint of the times will be obvious. ”

He looked at Jiang He's ignorant expression and said, "You also bear the mark of your era, which is older than my grandmother...... Well, it would have been older than them. For example, how do you feel about the phrase 'drought and flood protection'?"

"Sounds ...... Very reliable. Jiang He has an inexplicable love for this word.

"Drought and flood protection is synonymous with reliability, because it means that no matter what, you will not go hungry, which is the common characteristic of those of you who have suffered, because you have been hungry, so you don't want to go hungry again.

But for a lot of people nowadays, it's just a word, nothing special, that's the difference between us, the different values. ”

Xu Qing paused for a moment to give her time to understand, and then continued: "Of course, this does not mean that I am better than you, or how much better you are than me, we have no distinction between high and low, we have been hungry and have not been hungry, it is just an experience, no one is wrong, my grandmother is also happy to live every day in her hometown, this is nothing."

But the point is that you have to learn to know new things, don't resist instinctively, maybe you can find new fun, there are too many beautiful things in this world that you haven't experienced, if you stick to the previous thinking, it will be too regrettable. ”

"For example?" Jiang He asked.

"For example, can I hold your hand? Holding hands is very beautiful, and I can feel my heart pounding. Xu Qing looked down at her hand, "It's a very small thing, I'd love to let you experience that nice feeling." ”

？？？

Jiang He looked at his serious expression and was stunned.

Discovering new fun, new beauty, starts with holding hands?

"Do you want to try it? Anyway, we're pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, so it's not a big deal. Xu Qing asked.

“......”

"Let's try, and it's not about doing anything to you, holding hands...... You should hold on to the sword, and my hand is the sword, and the sword is as bright as mine, and it will cut off all the offal. He waved his hand twice, as if it were something like that.

"That'...... You try. ”

Jiang He hesitated for a moment, rolled up his sleeves and handed his hand out.

Anyway...... Anyway...... It's not about doing anything.

"We're sitting here, isn't this called leading, this is called touching, isn't it a hooligan?" Xu Qing got up and put on his coat, "Let's go, let's go shopping." ”

“......”

In the cold winter, the sun outside is not much warm, and people can only feel a slight warmth.

The snow will melt during the day, then freeze at night, and continue to melt during the day, it is not yet noon, the ground is slippery, Jiang He did not play the game of skating anymore, and was slowly walked beside him by Xu Qing.

"Do you feel different?" Xu Qing asked.

"Nope. ”

"So what?"

He gently hooked his little finger on Jiang He's palm, and Jiang He instantly retracted his hand and stared at him with wide eyes.

"That's what it feels like...... I'm just going to show you how to get it. ”

Xu Qing taught her to fall in love...... Phew, feel the better things in the world, and take her hand and sway slowly.

I don't feel like a liar, my palms are sweaty in winter, my little hands are warm, except that the calluses in my palms are a little hard, and the back of my hands is still quite smooth.

"Uncle Zhao, it's early. ”

went to the door of the community to say hello to Uncle Zhao, Xu Qingle was just about to leave, and remembered something again, "By the way, that Aunt Cheng doesn't seem to have seen her for a while?"

"I heard that I went to live with her Xiaoli for a while, what's wrong?" Uncle Zhao shrunk his neck and hid at the door of the security booth to smoke, "Something to do with her?"

"It's okay, just ask. ”

Xu Qing took his little hand and left, "Uncle Zhao smokes less." ”

"That's what I live on this cigarette. ”

Uncle Zhao joked in the back, Jiang He followed closely with small steps next to Xu Qing, and only asked curiously when he was a little farther away, "What is that cigarette?"

"It's also a pastime, it has a stimulating effect on people's spirits, and it's addictive, it's not a good thing. ”

"Then why do you want to smoke it?"

"Because I like it. Xu Qing squeezed her hand quietly, "It's like my hands will be a little cold, but I still have to hold you, that's what I like." ”

“......”

Jiang He turned his head to look away, "Don't say such things." ”

"I'm just explaining to you that this thing is unreasonable, like a moth to a fire, and it's also because a moth likes fire. ”

Xu Qing said as he took her to stop in front of the bus stop, "There are not so many whys in this world, if you like it, just do it." ”

"Then what if I don't like it?" Jiang He asked.

"Didn't you say yesterday, it's very unreasonable to dislike it, if you don't like it, you can reject me, it has nothing to do with anything else, just refuse it. Xu Qing turned his head and smiled at her, "This is your freedom." ”

"I ......"

Jiang He's fingers trembled twice, and he didn't say anything more, looking at other places tangledly.

The bus came quickly, Xu Qing pulled her to the bus, took out two coins with her other hand and threw them into the coin box, and then walked to the back row of empty seats together.

The car started up, and the outside scenery flashed through the window.

"I'm experiencing the fun you say. Jiang He looked out the window.

"Well, I know. ”

Xu Qing took her hand and nodded seriously.
