Chapter 35: Fever (35)
Stories are often the most fascinating with their ups and downs.
However, in life, plainness is the main tone. The reason why the novel can keep going up and down is simply because it chooses a certain part of the protagonist's experience or shortens the length of his growth.
For example, some protagonists cultivate, and if they cultivate more, it is a kind of blandness. However, in order not to let the plot drag on, there will be a span of time, that is, how many days have passed or how many years have passed since the protagonist has been cultivating day and night. That is, skip the bland, shorten the length of growth, and quickly set into the ups and downs mode.
Well, that's the difference between fiction and life.
In fact, life can also have ups and downs. However, it depends on which life scale the protagonist of life is reminiscing. For example, some protagonists, who were poor when they were young, finally became rich through years of hard work. And in the years of struggle, it is natural to draw out the ups and downs to write, because the protagonist is familiar with that period of time and knows which are the ups and downs of the events, and which are the dullness day after day.
In the same way, when an old man looks back on his life, the ups and downs can shorten the length of growth, and compressing such a long life into those ups and downs will naturally seem like a special memoir or autobiography, or a novel from a real perspective.
Returning to myself, the memories are becoming more and more flat, and they are no longer as strong as the ups and downs of the feelings of youth. After all, the memories of youth are to shorten the length of growth and omit the bland existence. And now my memories have almost caught up with the present I am in, and naturally, the length of growth will gradually return to the track of normal development, and the dull will really become the main tone.
Come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with that. After all, a lot of the meaning of life is hidden in these blandness. Like, the weather of the year, there is a strong storm baptism, there will also be a gentle and gentle breeze blowing on the face.
Life is a novel without a fixed plot.
The time went to February 4, 2019, that is, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
What does that mean?
For others, it's been a year. And for me, it was a year. For a whole year, because I had to regulate my body, I couldn't go to work, and I had no financial income. The feeling of embarrassment was as uncomfortable as suffocation.
I hope that after the New Year, it will be a new beginning. I'm going to make a comeback, I'm going to fight back. After all, people still have to have hope for the future.
I think back to the fact that I came out of the internship in 2013 and really entered the society, and every year was a little beautiful and special.
In 2013, he started an internship and had an income;
In 2014, I started the small travel mode, and I went to play most of the scenic spots in Shenzhen;
In 2015, I went abroad to work in Cambodia, experienced the customs and customs there, and also appreciated the scenery and characteristics there, and at the same time, it was also the first time in my life to take a plane;
In 2016, I traveled to Bali for three days, and I once dreamed of going to a distant place;
In 2017, he married Xiaoshi and started a family;
In 2018, Ziyu was born, and I became a father.
Well, the above are all good memories, and the ones that are not good, I filter out.
So, in 2019, I hope to have a successful career.
After all, when you start a family, it's time to start a business.
On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, paste couplets. My cousins will come to help me paste it together, my house is three and a half floors, there are many doors, and it is a big project to paste the laisee and couplet.
For the first time in many years, this was the first time I had a closer relationship with my cousins after I went out to work. The previous unhappiness has passed, and I was young at that time, and I cared too much about some trivial things, which made my heart so narrow-minded.
When you come out of the society for a walk, you will find that the little things you care about at the beginning are not even trivial things at all.
Family and everything is prosperous, and our Liu family only has family harmony, and only when there is harmony, will there be everything prosperous. So, I'm glad I learned to recognize my past mistakes and correct them.
New Year's Day, New Year!
Hopefully, everything will get better and better!
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, burn incense to worship the gods and ancestors, and ask for blessings. However, despite the blessing of our ancestors, I still have to work hard to have the day when my dreams come true.
After dinner at nine o'clock in the morning, everyone went to the great luck together. That is, everyone walks and plays together, the New Year weather is good, and you can have great luck when you go out for a walk. Abbreviation, good luck.
Fortune should be a happy process.
My cousins walked the fastest together, while Xiao Shi and I, as well as my aunt and second aunt, walked slower because of Ziyu.
This feeling made me feel that I was different from my cousins, because I was the only one who had a family, and I was also a father. It seems that the distance between me and them is the gap between us now. We can't talk about the same topic at the same frequency.
So, I felt a faint sense of loss in my heart.
Along the way, we will also send red envelopes and grab red envelopes in the family group on WeChat. I'm pretty lucky!
When we went to the ruins, I didn't see anyone coming out to play, so we probably had lunch early, and the others just started to make lunch. It's okay, although it is not lively early, it indicates that the good will come sooner.
People's psychology is so tired, when you really hope that something is good, you can play a psychological role, and turn very ordinary details into beautiful premises.
On the way, everyone stopped to buy mangoes.
Xiao Shi was carrying Ziyu at the time, and it was a little uncomfortable to memorize, because the strap was a little loose.
She asked me to tie the harness in a knot, and I did it.
The problem is that the harness is a bit short and a bit difficult to tie the knot. Especially for me, who can only tie two types of knots, bow and dead knots, it is even more difficult.
Therefore, I knotted a little slowly and hard, and there were many stall aunts around me who were watching me. It made me more nervous the more I played.
At this time, Xiao Shi's temper came up instantly, and she said loudly: "Okay?!Can't you tie a knot?!"
At that moment, I felt like a very small being.
"Can't you tie a knot?!" like a needle, it kept poking my body hard.
The cousins were buying mangoes next to me, and there were eyes around her, and she didn't save me any face. Even if I play slowly, I can be quieter and not lose my temper.
After the tie was over, I no longer had the word "happy" in my mood, and my expression naturally became numb.
The more she loses her temper with me in front of others, especially my cousins, the more I envy the freedom of my unmarried cousins, and regret the helplessness of marrying me too soon.
After she lost her temper, she noticed that my expression was not smiling, so she asked, "What are you doing again?"
I quietly replied, "I didn't do anything." ”
She looked at me again, and then she lost her temper and stopped walking with me......
How well do I have to control my joys and sorrows to hide my inner emotions? I am no longer a person who is the same as I seem. My mood is like Mayday's "You're Not Really Happy......
I'm in a bad mood, and my luck in grabbing red envelopes in the WeChat group is getting worse and worse.
Sometimes, a person's luck really has a lot to do with their own mentality, perhaps, this is a little close to the principle of magnetic fields. What you are is attracted to is also something that is relatively close.
When we were about to get home, Xiaoshi's temper also eased, and we could communicate in a normal tone.
At that time, my cousin Yan said to me: "Jin Long, you have to learn to drive quickly, so many brothers of our Liu family have finished learning to drive and got their driver's licenses, and you are the only one left." ”
I smiled, "Oh my God, I'm still the slowest runner." ”
Yes, cousin Yan and cousin Yuan got their driver's licenses, cousin Ren, cousin Yong and cousin Peng also got driver's licenses, older than me and younger than me all got driver's licenses, and I was sandwiched in the middle, and I hadn't even started learning cars. Phew, why do I always fall behind so easily?
Whew, but, if you think about it from another perspective, I don't necessarily fall behind.
Of my cousins, I'm the only one who has a family and is still a father, so am I not a big head ahead in that respect?
Well, therefore, there is no absolute so-called leading and backward in the world, but everyone is in a different position.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I thought it was spent peacefully. But who would have thought that the tail of the first year of junior high school still disrupted the peace......
At around eleven o'clock in the evening of the first day of the new year, Ziyu began to cry non-stop, at first I thought she was just hungry or sleepy and was having a temper, but later I found out that it was not.
She kept crying, the kind that cried so hard, as if she had been injected by a nurse. Whether it was breastfeeding or hugging her, she refused all of them, and cried like crazy!
I started to panic, could it be that I had come back from a day trip and ran into something unclean when I passed through the bamboo forest by the river? After all, that place was a bit eerie.
Guess, can't guess what.
At this time, Xiaoshi's temper has begun to rise, and she thinks that Ziyu will cry because I have made too much fun of Ziyu.
The crying was so loud that it woke up the aunt who was already asleep, and the aunt asked with concern outside the door of our room, "What's wrong with Ziyu? Why are you crying so loudly?"
Xiao Shi replied impatiently and loudly: "Sleep on you! Don't worry about it! We'll do it ourselves!"
Auntie continued to care: "Open the door and let me go in and take a look at Ziyu." ”
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is really too difficult to deal with!
I don't want Auntie to come in, after all, Xiaoshi's temper is easy to uncontrollab. However, it is also unfair to Auntie not to let Auntie in, and Auntie is pleading to open the door outside.
So, I still opened the door and let Auntie in.
As soon as the aunt came in, Xiao Shi's eyes could almost see the fire.
Auntie touched Ziyu's forehead, and she didn't have a fever or heat. But why he cried so much is also an uncertain factor.
Later, Auntie suggested using an old-fashioned strap to sleep with Ziyu on her back, Xiaoshi refused at first, but she couldn't stop coaxing Ziyu herself, so she had to let Auntie try it on her back.
At that time, it was already 0:30 a.m. in the second year of junior high school, and my aunt asked us to sleep first, and she just coaxed her to talk on her back, anyway, we couldn't help for the time being.
Xiaoshi sat on the stool, crossed her hands in front of her chest, crossed Erlang's legs, and coldly threw out a sentence: "If Ziyu doesn't sleep, I won't sleep!" That kind of posture is very similar to the leader in a TV series.
Okay, I'll just wait for Ziyu to sleep.
Sure enough, sometimes ginger's is still old and spicy. Ziyu was behind her aunt and gradually fell asleep.
Auntie gently put Ziyu down behind our bed, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
But, at one o'clock in the morning, Ziyu suddenly cried again.
Auntie was woken up again, and then coaxed her to sleep with her back......
It was a long and painful night......
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to the street to buy fruit because I was going to Xiao Shi's mother's house. After getting married, every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I have to accompany Xiaoshi to visit relatives at her parents' house.
On the way, I happened to bump into my dad and said hello. He said that he would take the poem in first. I agree unconditionally!
After all, the motorcycle he drives is more powerful than the electric car I drive, and the slope at home is too long and sloping. So, without a certain amount of horsepower, it is difficult to climb.
I bought the fruit and came back, prepared the clothes for two days, and then I also drove in the electric car to join them in the New Year's feast.
The first time I went to the second day of the Lunar New Year was in 2017 when I got married to Xiaoshi, and in 2018 I didn't go there because I had nephritis and didn't go back to my hometown. This year in 2019, I went in for the second time on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
That day, I was quiet.
Because, I'm a person who doesn't know much about chatting.
So, I'm like air.
Fortunately, Xiaoshi's grandfather and I have a lot of things to talk about, and often smile at me, which makes my heart very warm.
Ziyu's mood has also stabilized, and in retrospect, it may be because Xiaoshi ate a lot of mangoes during the day on the first day of junior high school, and then fed Ziyu, and Ziyu may be allergic to mangoes. After all, we found a lot of red dots in Ziyu. Therefore, I suggested that Xiaoshi not eat mango for the time being.
After that, Ziyu never cried.
The second day of the Lunar New Year also passed lightly.
On the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Shi's big family barbecued. And I, on the other hand, don't participate in the barbecue session, just eat.
Because, at that time, I just wanted to be quiet......
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, my parents were going to Shenzhen, and we also returned home, and relatives also came to the family. It was a day to greet relatives, and it felt like it was also dull.
On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, several cousins of our Liu family also barbecued, and this time I participated in the barbecue session, although the chicken wings I roasted were a bit "focused", but I was quite happy. Because a few of our cousins can sit down and talk about the future. Whew, what will my future hold?
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I had a conflict with Xiao Shi. The cause of the conflict is that I went to the toilet for a bit of a long time, close to half an hour.
It happened that morning, my aunt was going to take us to visit my uncle. Therefore, when the unknowing aunt told Xiao Shi that she was going to visit her uncle, Xiao Shi replied coldly: "I'm not going!
Auntie asked, "What's the matter? Can't you go to visit your uncle? ”
So, a quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began......
I was helpless in the face of this "fire......
Xiaoshi said that she wanted to take Ziyu into her mother's house and let her brother drive to pick her up.
As if I had no soul, I wandered out of this "crime scene" and floated to the empty roof.
I'm wondering, is it all over?
If Xiaoshi takes Ziyu and her brother to her parents' house, will our husband and wife relationship also enter the countdown?
Thinking about it, tears flooded again......
Later, my brother-in-law and his wife Mei came over, and my aunt also called my dad, turned on speakerphone, and several people started a discussion that I didn't know about.
As a result, the result I thought did not appear, and Xiaoshi agreed to visit her uncle. My brother-in-law and his wife also drove back, but I didn't have the face to greet them.
Time can always soothe unhappiness and allow us to continue to walk together.
Sometimes unhappy, sometimes happy, that's the normal state of life.
Later, on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2019, I bought a pair of rings online. Although it is not a lofty existence, at least there is a proof that I am a married man, she is a married woman, and we are husband and wife.
I also happily said that the ring I gave her was only temporary, and when the conditions improved, I gave her a better ring.
In fact, the ring is only a superficial existence, and the most important thing between husband and wife is emotional love.
Time went to February 22, 2019, brother-in-law Ziming drove us out of the city to play.
My brother-in-law has already got a driver's license, and my father has also paid for a car worth more than 100,000 yuan. Everything was just arranged. My brother-in-law Ziming also got married this year, and my little sister-in-law Mei and him are quite compatible, at least in my opinion.
We went to play bumper cars, went to haunted houses, shot balloons, got dolls, and drove game consoles......
That day was a happier day. I hope that in the future, when my financial ability improves, I can play together again.
It was the first time in my life that I shot a balloon with a gun, which gave me an extra try, and maybe I'll have another hobby in the future.
My brother-in-law taught me to try more new things, not to be afraid of whether it will be or not, and to try it will be gradual.
On February 23, 2019, my brother-in-law Ziming drove us to Shenzhen, while my aunt stayed in my hometown to take care of my grandmother for three months. Grandma has four sons, and every three months, the family of the four sons takes turns to take care of her.
Go to Shenzhen, arrange everything, and everything will start again.
The New Year passed like this.
However, has the test given to me by God also passed?
I don't know, because the future, has not yet come.
