Chapter 62: About Happiness
I always believe that all the ends and all the new beginnings in this world have been arranged by God a long time ago, there are too many people in the world, but I met you, this city is so big, but only me and you get along day and night, what is this not God's will? Legend has it that the immortal called the moon test controls the marriage in the world, he has a red thread in his hand, as long as he uses this red thread to bring two people together, there will be one more pair of lovers in the world. In life, we meet people of all shapes, but only one person can accompany us to the end of life, maybe on the way to growth, someone has held hands with us and walked a while, but walking, I don't know when, I don't know why, we let go of each other's hands. We all appear in each other's lives, but we can never accompany each other to grow old, can only be regarded as the scenery of life on the road of growth, we may be nostalgic for a lifetime, but we will not stop moving forward, because we all understand that there are better people waiting for us in front, that person will not accompany us to see the most beautiful scenery, but will accompany us through the wind and rain, bear the pain and pain of life.
"Master, do you believe that there is fate in this world?" Zhou Fei sat in the taxi, he suddenly asked the taxi driver, the driver master is a middle-aged man, people of his age may have a more thorough understanding of love, Zhou Fei wants to hear what he says about fate and love.
"I believe in fate, if it is not fate, how did two people come together and stay together for a lifetime, although I can't tell what fate is, but I believe it exists. The driver also believes that there is fate in this world, there is no encounter for no reason, and there is no parting for no reason. In the dark, there is a pair of invisible hands, pulling us in front of each other, and we begin an unusual journey, this journey is a lifetime at the beginning, and the end of life one day, this journey is over.
Yes, there are a few people in this world who can escape the arrangement of fate, we don't want to be arranged, but we can't do anything, we don't believe in creation to make people, but we can't change our fate, so we stumble all the way, and finally become the person we once disdained.
"If God gave you a chance to choose again, what kind of life would you choose to live?" Zhou Fei asked the driver again.
"Young man, you are really interesting, why do you keep asking this kind of question?" The driver is very strange how Zhou Fei asks this kind of profound question, at Zhou Fei's age, it is the age of struggle and hard work, and he is fearless at this age, if this kind of question comes from a person of his age and has no great ability, he is not strange at all, but looking at Zhou Fei's appearance, he is not a person without ability. He has been a taxi driver for some years, and he has met all kinds of people, what this person does, whether he is poor or rich, whether he has self-cultivation or not, he can guess everything. He could see that Zhou Fei was not an ordinary person, at least an ambitious person, and he could see from Zhou Fei's eyes that he was different from others.
"I suddenly remembered, so I asked casually, if the master is inconvenient to answer, just let me not ask!" Zhou Fei thought that the driver master had any difficulties and was inconvenient to answer his questions, and he would not be strong.
"I also wonder how you can ask such a profound question, this is not a question that people of your age should think about! People of your age should be full of fighting spirit, and nothing will bother you, only in this way can you live up to your youth, otherwise, at my age, you will regret it. The driver didn't really understand what Zhou Fei meant by asking him, and thought that Zhou Fei wanted to get something for nothing, so he asked him this kind of question.
"You're right, youth should struggle, otherwise I'm sorry for such a good time, I will never live up to my youth, even if I lose, I will lose vigorously. Zhou Fei didn't expect that this driver master was still an education expert, and when he heard him, his blood began to surge.
"If I really want to be who I am, I choose to be myself again, and if I really want to live what kind of life I want to live, I choose to live the life I live now. Although I don't have a glamorous life now, but it's real enough, although my current life is not rich, but I have a happy family and lovely relatives, these are enough, why envy others and other people's lives!" This driver master is very satisfied with everything he has now, for him, other people's lives are good, but they don't belong to him, rather than envy other people's lives, it is better to cherish their current life.
"A lot of people want to be rich because in their eyes, money is a sign of success, but you give a different answer, success is not measured only by money, money can represent many things, but not all. This ordinary taxi driver shocked Zhou Fei, in this era when everyone is busy for profit, he can be alone and not chase flashy things, which is also a rare quality.
"Money is not proportional to status and happiness, as long as a person does his best to do something, whether he succeeds or fails, he is happy, anything that can be easily obtained, can not bring you happiness, happiness is not a result, but a process. The driver talked endlessly, and at this time he was not like a driver, but more like a philosopher. There are formal* people in this world, and everyone is actually a philosopher, and they understand happiness from different angles, so their happiness in their eyes is very different.
Happiness is fair, it doesn't favor anyone, whether you are poor or rich, a king on high or just an ordinary person, happiness treats you the same.
"Master, pull over! I'm here. "When I was about to arrive at Uncle Jing's house, Zhou Fei got off the car in advance, during this time Zhou Fei has been living in Uncle Jing's house, Uncle Jing's house is not very far from the company, he has not lived in the dormitory provided by the company, he has been used to living in Uncle Jing's house, and he can chat with Uncle Jing when he is free, and listen to him talk about some things that happened in old Shanghai.
The company successfully acquired Ruixing this time, although Zhou Fei did not have much credit, but Zhou Fei also made a lot of efforts, so Zhou Fei also had a share of the bonus, although the money is not much for others, but it is already a lot of money for him, a rookie who has just joined. In addition to repaying the money that Li Lan had lent him at dinner just now, he was also going to pay the rent for living in Uncle Jing's house for the past few months, and then buy something for Uncle Jing, and let the rest go for emergencies! If he encounters an emergency outside, if he doesn't leave some money by his side, it won't work, because he knows too few people in Shanghai, and I'm afraid no one can count on him at a critical time, so he has to rely on himself.
Zhou Fei remembered that when he chatted with Uncle Jing once, Uncle Jing inadvertently said that he liked a kind of soft cake from the north very much, and Zhou Fei wanted to buy a little back, which could be regarded as a thank you for Uncle Jing's care for him in the past few months!
There is a large supermarket near Uncle Jing's house, and he asked the waiter in the store to know that the store originally had that kind of soft cake, but it was just sold out today, and he could only wait until tomorrow to have it.
"Then do you know that there are other places around here that sell this kind of soft cake? I promised the old man to buy it for him to eat, so I can't break my promise. Zhou Fei asked the waiter if there was anything else for sale, he must buy it tonight, he was afraid that he would forget it tomorrow, he was very busy with work now, and he forgot everything when he got to work.
"There seems to be a store in front of you that sells it, you can go and take a look!" the waiter pointed ahead and motioned for Zhou Fei to try his luck.
Zhou Fei walked forward in the direction pointed by the waiter, he saw that a store was about to close, he stepped forward to ask the boss, the boss said that the store had something he wanted, the boss put down the iron hook in his hand to pull the roller shutter, and returned to the store to get the kind of soft cake Zhou Fei wanted, Zhou Fei did not follow up, the boss came out and he paid and walked towards Uncle Jing's house, and the owner of the small shop picked up the hook again to pull the roller shutter.
"You're back! Uncle Jing was talking to you just now, saying that it is not safe for you to go out alone, Shanghai is a very chaotic place, and you should come back early. As soon as Zhou Fei entered the door, he met Zhang Yan, the nanny of Uncle Jing's family, Zhang Yan is a girl from Sichuan, the situation at home is not very good, she is the eldest in the family, and she came out to work very early. In the past few years, I have been working as a nanny in Uncle Jing's house, taking care of Uncle Jing's food and clothing, Uncle Jing is very good to Zhang Yan, treating her as a granddaughter, Zhang Yan is also a very sensible child, Uncle Jing is good to her, she keeps in mind Uncle Jing's kindness, and takes good care of Uncle Jing.
Hearing Zhang Yan convey Uncle Jing's words, Zhou Fei's heart warmed, on the surface, Uncle Jing blamed him for coming back too late, but in fact, he cared about him, only his relatives would blame him for coming back late, and only his relatives would really care about his safety, in Shanghai, Uncle Jing was his relative, making him feel the warmth of home.
"Did Uncle Jing sleep, and what was the result of his examination at the hospital today?" Zhou Fei saw that the lights in Uncle Jing's house were off, and it was estimated that Uncle Jing should be asleep. When Zhou Fei left today, he and Zhang Yan sent Uncle Jing to the hospital for a review to see how his leg was recovering, and after sending Uncle Jing to the hospital, Zhou Fei went to find Li Lan.
"I just watched him fall asleep, Uncle Jing's leg recovered well, and the doctor said that after a few days of rest, he could come to the hospital to remove the steel plate. Zhang Yan whispered to Zhou Fei that he was afraid that the loud voice would wake up Uncle Jing, who now needed to recuperate.
"Thank you! If it weren't for your careful care, Uncle Jing wouldn't be so good so quickly. Zhou Fei is very grateful to Zhang Yan for taking care of Uncle Jing, if there is no Zhang Yan, Uncle Jing will not be so soon, he is nominally taking care of Uncle Jing, but he has no time to take care of Uncle Jing at work, Zhang Yan is taking care of it.
"What are you polite to me, Uncle Jing treats me like a granddaughter, besides, it's my job to take care of Uncle Jing, I just did what I should do. Although Zhang Yan is just a nanny in Uncle Jing's house, she doesn't regard the job of a nanny as a way to make money, she regards it as her own career, and she does it very seriously. She knows that she is doing a very ordinary job, but she understands that her attitude will have a great impact on Uncle Jing's life, for her it is just a job, but for Uncle Jing, it is all life, so she must do her best.
Zhou Fei was not polite to Zhang Yan, but he owed Zhang Yan a "thank you", perhaps he owed many people a "thank you". In this world, many people are just passers-by of life, they may have changed our lives a little bit, or they may just meet us in a hurry at a certain intersection, and they don't have time to see their faces clearly, they don't have time to leave a smile, and they disappear into the crowd with each other, but at that moment, our lives have changed, and our emotions have also changed, shouldn't we say "thank you" to them?
