Chapter 59 Alumni Association
For office workers who live alone, weekends are a perfect interpretation of how one person can feed and the whole family will not go hungry.
As long as you can bear it, you can not go out for two days.
However, now the food delivery industry is booming. Staycation has become more taken for granted.
Perhaps many children who have just come out of society will feel that this is a waste of life.
Shouldn't we go out and have fun? go shopping, go on a date?!
Having this kind of thinking proves that you are still young, that you have not been polished enough by work, and that you have not met enough people.
Not everyone is that social.
Friends, lovers, and even family are also brain-burning.
There are already too many people and things that we need to think about in our daily life, and we need to rest halfway, otherwise we will crash.
From graduation to marriage, or before falling in love. These short months, or a year or two, of 24k pure solitary living are the most precious and cherished times in a person's long life.
Some people may ask: Aren't you afraid of loneliness?
Of course not, freedom, this is the air of freedom. No one interferes with what time you get up, no one cares how many meals you eat a day, and no one dislikes you for not washing your face or brushing your teeth.
As long as you are happy, you can watch dramas until you are desolate, and you can lie in bed all day until you are dizzy.
This is Shi Xiaoai's favorite way to spend the weekend. It's easy for her to go from one extreme to the other, though.
On Saturday night, Shi Xiaoai, who had been at home for a day, nibbled on the last apple at home and decided to go out shopping tomorrow and dress up beautifully.
Considering that she is in love, Jasmine wants to accompany Master Qian, and she plans to go alone.
Taking advantage of the high spirits, she opened her wardrobe and carefully matched the clothes she would wear tomorrow, making sure that even if she met her ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend, she would not lose.
After tossing for a long time, there was finally only the shoe problem, Shi Xiaoai was about to open the shoe cabinet when she heard the mobile phone ringing.
She picked it up and looked at the strange phone, but there was no prompt for "fraud" or "advertising and promotion", Shi Xiaoai picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is it Shi Xiaoai?"
"I am. Who are you?"
"Hello, Miss Shi, I am from the C City Alumni Association. We have a mountain climb tomorrow and need a group of volunteers......"
Five minutes later, Shi Xiaoai began to rummage through the cabinets again, looking for the sportswear and sneakers that had been put on hold for a long time, and also prepared a backpack, sunscreen and mosquito repellent necessary for the outdoors.
Although the organizers arranged the event early in the morning considering that the weather was still relatively hot, it was estimated that the sun would also come out when they climbed to the top of the mountain. Shi Xiaoai hurriedly found a sunhat again.
If it weren't for today's phone call, she would have almost forgotten about the alumni association.
Before graduation, because Shi Xiaoai decided to come to the city alone, the dormitory helped her with advice.
Everyone was afraid that she would be helpless in the field alone, so they asked her to join a lot of hometown associations, alumni associations, and this alumni association.
Later, he started to work, took root in a different place, and was so busy that he didn't have time to socialize, and it slowly faded, and Shi Xiaoai couldn't remember it at all.
Today, I suddenly received an invitation, and the other party said that it was because mountaineering activities were physically exertional, so I wanted to find some young people to volunteer.
Anyway, it's okay, Shi Xiaoai readily agreed, went to bed early, set the alarm clock on her mobile phone, and planned to get up early the next morning.
……
"Look here, listen to my instructions, one, two, three, eggplant ......" clicked a group photo.
The mountaineering activities of the Alumni Association of the City of C City have officially begun.
A group of people, young and old, first took a group photo at the beginning of the trail holding banners.
Shi Xiaoai wore a hat issued by the campus club, and stood on the edge of the second row with a smile on her face with a group of volunteers.
Although it was indeed painful to wake up earlier than she went to work, as soon as she stepped out of the house, she felt like she had earned it.
On non-working days, there are very few people on the road early in the morning.
Shi Xiaoai instantly found a sense of pride in how healthy her life was, although today was the first time in one hundred and eighty years.
The alumni association arranged for vehicles to pick up and drop off along the main road.
Shi Xiaoai came to the nearest bus stop early and found two old men with silver hair also waiting there with backpacks, holding hands.
Shi Xiaoai stood behind for a while, dried the bowl of dog food, and timidly stepped forward to ask.
Sure enough, it was alumni.
The two old men are husband and wife, the grandfather's surname is Fan, and the grandmother's surname is Lu, they met and fell in love with C University, and came to work together in the city after graduation, which is decades.
They were very happy to see that Shi Xiaoai was also C-old, as if they were looking at their own children, and asked her if she had breakfast?
However, Grandma Lu emphasized that Shi Xiaoai should call her senior sister, not grandma.
Grandpa Fan looked at his wife dotingly.
Shi Xiaoai is as good as a stream, and the senior sister keeps shouting.
The participants were roughly divided into two categories, either young people like Shi Xiaoai who volunteered, or old people from their grandparents' generation.
At first, she was puzzled, since many of the participants were not young, why not do a more relaxed activity?
Soon, though, she understood.
Not long after the activity began, the crowd gradually split into two groups.
The people who walked to the front were all grandparents, red and energetic.
On the other hand, this group of volunteers is getting more and more angry, and they are chatting less and less.
Fortunately, there are a few young men who often exercise to accompany the old people to the front, otherwise I don't know who takes care of whom today.
Halfway up the mountain, you can finally rest.
Shi Xiaoai and a few little girls who had just met rushed forward to distribute mineral water.
The organizers also took into account the age of the person and put the water on the observation deck halfway up the mountain in advance.
I didn't dare to let the old people carry it from the bottom of the mountain, and I also foresaw that the volunteers were not responsible for carrying it.
"Xiao Ai, are you tired?" asked Grandma Lu as she took the water and handed it to Grandpa Fan.
Xiao Ai hurriedly handed over a bottle again.
As a result, Grandpa Fan unscrewed the cap of the bottle and handed it back to Grandma Lu, and then took the second bottle of water.
Caught off guard, it was another bowl of dog food.
Shi Xiaoai feels that the world is too cruel to single dogs. Why has I been "hurt" since last night?
Grandma Lu has long been accustomed to this kind of meticulous care, and she didn't notice Shi Xiaoai's abnormality.
Someone found out, though.
"Senior sister, are you envious too?" a tall little girl with a ponytail held a few bottles of water and said to Shi Xiaoai while distributing them.
Shi Xiaoai nodded like a bosom friend.
"Then let the senior sister's boyfriend learn hard from grandpa. ”
"I'm smiling at you, senior sister, I'm single. Shi Xiaoai replied with a smile.
The other party's expression changed slightly, probably afraid that Shi Xiaoai would be unhappy about private matters, so he didn't say anything more.
"Xiao Ai, you don't have a boyfriend yet, do you want me to introduce you?" Grandma Lu was excited as if she had discovered a new world.
Relationship problems are always a woman's favorite gossip, regardless of age.
"Where do you go to introduce people? How many young people do you know?" Grandpa Fan knew that his wife's gossip enthusiasm swelled again.
"I'll find it at the alumni association. I've told Chairman Kim to find more young people every time. It's all C big, it's not bad. Grandma Lu has a deep affection for her alma mater, and she doesn't forget to teach the little girls her experience, "I tell you, the boy in C is good, and it's good to be a husband." ”
This joke inadvertently poked Shi Xiaoai's heart.
She complained silently, it's really not everyone is good, and she met an unreliable one.
