NO.29

"Don't just play when you go out, you have to learn to experience life, listen and see more, remember to visit the university after visiting tourist attractions, take pictures to show your mother, and don't fool me...... You still have to listen to your sister Ning, and you can't run around...... I'm talking to you two, are you listening?"

"Mom, don't nag, I've said it many times, we'll be obedient, if you're really not at ease, you can go with us." Zhong Xiaojie couldn't stand his mother's nagging. Mom has been nagging at home every day for the past few days, and now he just wants to get on the plane as soon as possible.

"Okay, okay, got it, Mom, I'll take care of my brother. I smiled and said to my mother that at this moment I gave full play to the role of my "little padded jacket".

"Don't worry, I'll take care of my two younger brothers. I'll call you when I get off the plane. Sister Jianing said.

I looked at my mother's uneasy look, although I thought she was quite verbose, but I was still a little reluctant. After high school, I spent most of my time in school, and finally had some time during the winter vacation, so I could chat with my mother, and now I have to go out again in a few days.

I know that my mother is always worried that Zhong Xiaojie and I can't take care of ourselves, so when I was at school, I would call her every two or three days to report on my living situation.

We are a family of four, I have been close to my mother since I was a child, and Zhong Xiaojie and Zhong Renyong are closer. And their temperaments are similar, no matter how big things they encounter, they are always very calm, and they don't look like they're in a hurry every day. I can't do it, my heart is very much like a mother, delicate feelings, all-encompassing, everything I do will first consider the feelings of others.

I don't know why I sent a text message to Zhong Renyong at that time: Dad, no matter how busy you are at work, you must pay attention to rest and spend more time with my mother.

But I didn't expect that what was originally a concise sentence would cause a lot of trouble for myself.

It is said that in the growth of children, the communication and companionship of parents play a great role, but in my impression, when I was a child, I only had my mother and few fathers. Perhaps it was the lack of necessary companionship that caused such a strained father-son relationship between me and Chung.

Bite...... (My text message rings)

Cacao:

You are already an adult, you have to take care of your brother and sister on this trip, call your dad if you encounter something that can't be solved, I will take care of your mom, don't worry. Dad wants you to email me what you saw and thought about your trip.

After getting off the plane, I received a text message from my dad back.

Wow, is there any mistake, let me write this kind of thing again, I already knew to text my mother directly. This was the first thought that came to my mind after receiving the text message.

Before I read a book or watched a movie before I was in high school, my dad would always ask me to write about my feelings and give it to him.

I didn't expect him to repeat his old trick this time, hmph, on the surface it sounds good, in case there is a difference in the perspective of looking at things, I will definitely not have good fruit to eat.

It is said that "knowing the son is better than the father", which is the opposite in our family. I know my father's character very well, and if there is a disagreement, he will definitely quickly occupy the moral high ground, and then label me with a hat like "three views are not correct", and I can't take it off. So my attitude towards him has always been to stay away.

Forget it, email him in a few days, and have a few days of fun.

This is the first time I have seen a big city like Beijing, and I feel very new. No wonder so many people choose to drift north, and there is really something different about it. I told myself in my heart: I like this, and I want to live here in the future.

It was only a short moment, a short moment, so short that I couldn't even eat a few bites of ice cream, and my dream was shattered. I didn't expect my dreams to be so fragile, like a small flame that can be extinguished without a downpour, with a few large raindrops, effortlessly and without leaving a trace.

"Wow, sister, brother, the salary here is so high, you look at the recruitment revelation here. Zhong Xiaojie excitedly pointed to the billboard next to the highway and said, after speaking, he licked the ice cream in his hand.

Sister Jianing said: "This is a first-tier city, the basic salary is indeed relatively high, but the price and housing prices are also relatively high, the monthly salary is seven or eight thousand, in addition to the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation every month, the final savings are about the same as our family's monthly salary, of course, this is relatively lucky, and there are many people who live here and need to help their families with living expenses...... However, I didn't have a hard time when I was in college, I lived in the dormitory and ate food in the school cafeteria, which saved a lot of expenses. ”

"I really want to experience what it's like to drift north, and come to North Drift when I graduate from high school. "Life in Beipiao is what Zhong Xiaojie has been yearning for a long time, and now that he has come to Beijing, this feeling is even stronger. "Sister, brother, let me tell you, in fact, I think the most ideal life is: struggle in a big city, live in a small city. I'm going to work here in the future, haha. He didn't hide his thoughts at all, and he spoke as much as ever.

I gave him two words in my heart, zz, I wish him success.

I was thinking about whether to tell them that I really wanted to settle here, but when I think about it, it doesn't seem realistic, so I'd better forget it. Looking back on this incident many years later, I feel more and more that I made the right decision at that time.

After Zhong Xiaojie ate the last bite of ice cream, he said to me meaningfully: "Brother, do you remember when we were in the first grade of primary school, the teacher asked us what kind of work we wanted to do in the future, and how you answered? ”

In the world of foodies, there is nothing to attract their attention except eating, and Zhong Xiaojie had just finished eating ice cream and snatched the potato chips that had just been torn apart from my hand.

I told him angrily, "I have forgotten something so long ago." Then I snatched the chips that belonged to me from his hand.

As soon as I remembered that I was buying potato chips in the supermarket before, Zhong Xiaojie's disgusted expression, I wanted to slap him, little rabbit, didn't you just eat junk food?

Zhong Xiaojie said, "Hehe, I'll help you remember, brother." You said that you were going to work in a big city in the future, earn a lot of money, and buy a lot of snacks to eat. You can achieve your dreams on this trip, but as a reward for me to help you remember your dreams, you also have to buy me snacks to eat. ”

I went, it turned out that my childhood dream was so easy to achieve, thanks to my brother, it reminded me of a dream I had forgotten for many years.

NO.30

When I was a child, my dream was very simple, just do what I loved. At that time, my parents were afraid that eating too many snacks would be unhealthy, so they rarely bought them for me and Zhong Xiaojie, so when I was a child, my biggest dream was to earn a lot of money to buy a lot of snacks, so much that I couldn't eat them all.

When I grew up, I realized that snacks were a dispensable existence for me, and it was better to have it, and it was okay to do without it.

My physique belongs to the kind that does not get fat by eating anything, and I don't have to worry about losing weight at all, and when I am a little older, I often secretly buy snacks for myself to eat, so my dream has long been changed, just like the wheat in the wheat field, I have been cut one stubble after another year after year, and my dream has been changed one after another, the flowers bloom and fall, the small trees have grown round and round throughout the year, and my dream has been fat round and round.

I suddenly remembered Zhong Xiaojie's dream when he was a child: "Oh, I remember, what you said at the time was that you wanted to have your own excavator in the future." ”

This is Zhong Xiaojie's dream when he was a child, how small it is, Zhong Keyu can't remember clearly, I only remember that at that time, Zhong Xiaojie didn't know how to blow his nose by himself, and often wiped it with his sleeve, simple and rude, for which he was blinded by many mothers.

"Haha, yes, yes, when I was a kid, I thought it was super cool to drive an excavator, and no car could hit it. Zhong Xiaojie was so excited that the potato chips in his mouth almost squirted out.

Can't this foodie pay attention to his image, speechless......

Seeing the endless stream of cars on the road, I was thinking about my original dream, and I was very curiously reminded of a speech by an orator the other day, which I saw on TV. What exactly is a dream? For homeless people, it is a dream to no longer worry about food and clothing every day, and to have three meals a day; for young people who have just graduated from college and have just stepped into society, it is a dream to find a safe, stable, decent and decent job without worrying their parents; for long-distance couples who are separated from each other and find it difficult to share their happiness and sorrows, it is a dream to be able to live together and share each other's happiness and relieve each other's sorrows. Dreams can vary from one dream to another, but as long as you have them, they're already good.

Dream is a word that has been haunting my heart since I came to Beijing, and in a trance I found that my attitude towards these two words has changed with time, naïve, longing, disdainful, forgetful, and confused......
