Chapter 106: Goodbye Youth
What is destined to leave, no matter how reluctant you are, no matter how much you keep it, you still have to leave after all, everything in this world comes from where it should come and goes where it should go. The sun rises and the moon sets, the flowers bloom and the tide rises, it seems to be ordinary, there are rules, and people are the same. In the end, everyone goes where he needs to be and does what he has to do best.
After a short reunion, it is time for them to go back to their place of work, everyone is reluctant, but they have to leave, life no longer allows us to grow up with our children, we must be like a warrior, go to the forefront of life.
Zhou Fei and Wang Wei sent away the classmates who came to the party, Zhou Fei is now in the provincial capital, and Wang Wei is also training not far from the provincial capital, and they are the last to leave.
Coming out of school, Wang Wei first went to Zhou Fei's company, when he was in school, they often said that they would have their own career in the future, and now among them, Zhou Fei took the lead in realizing his ideals, and many people are also fighting for their ideals. There is no standard way of judging life, but people have their own way of judging, and we only hope that in the days to come, we can all allow ourselves to live the life we think is good, instead of living in the expectations of others.
When everyone who came to the party was leaving, Wu Zixi also wanted to leave with everyone, but Zhou Fei and Li Lan both kept her and waited, there were many people at the party, and some things could not be said in front of so many people, but they did have a lot of things to ask Wu Zixi. Since Wu Zixi left Shanghai, no one knows where she has gone, and Li Lan only learned about her not long ago, but no one knows what she is doing. Now, it is Zhou Fei who wants to know Wu Zixi's situation the most, and he and Wu Zixi are no longer lovers, but after all, they used to be so good, and they had built the future together under the moonlight, how could he ignore her present and future, he couldn't forget it as soon as he put it down.
"Where have you been this year and what happened?" Zhou Fei asked Wu Zixi, who had been silent, since Wang Guohua's incident, Wu Zixi seemed to have changed as a person, the eloquent Wu Zixi before was gone, and now she is silent most of the time, occasionally saying one or two irrelevant words.
This time, everyone found out about Wu Zixi's changes, they didn't know what happened to Wu Zixi, Wu Zixi had never told anyone about it, except for a little talk to Li Lan, she knew that no one would sympathize with her, she would only look down on her even more, she just wanted to forget that nightmare and live another life again.
"This year, I don't know where I am, what I'm doing, I've been on the road, aimless, directionless, going wherever I go. Wu Zixi has indeed gone to a lot of places, she has gone to all the places she wanted to go before, she wants to tear her nightmares apart, scatter the pieces in different places, she believes that time will eventually heal her, she will still believe in love as before, I believe that there is a person who will be sincere to her and love her with all his might.
"Although I don't know what you have experienced in Shanghai, but those are all things of the past, we are all people with dreams, we all have an incomparable future, no matter what happens, we should not give up on our dreams, only dreams will not deceive us, and our efforts will be rewarded after all. Although they didn't know where Wu Zixi had gone or what he was doing this year, they could all feel the changes in Wu Zixi. Yes, everyone changes, but Wu Zixi's change is not normal, she is in a bad state, as if she has just experienced an extraordinary event.
"This year, I have traveled to too many places, met too many people, and heard too many stories. I only now understand that it turns out that everyone in this world, no matter rich or poor, everyone has a story, and each story is different, so there is no real love in this world, and there is no real hate, all love can be forgotten, all hate can be forgiven, and what we rebel and flee from is our own hearts. Sanmao said well: 'If the heart has no habitat, everywhere is wandering', now, I have found a place where I can fight for my life, where I can live like myself. Wu Zixi is like a monk who has been enlightened after experiencing a catastrophe, she has seen through all worldly things and began to pursue more valuable things.
None of them have experienced Wu Zixi's experience, so naturally they have no right to evaluate Wu Zixi. They didn't understand Wu Zixi's words, but they all believed that Wu Zixi must have her reasons for saying this.
"Don't worry about me, everything will pass, aren't I fine now?" Wu Zixi saw that everyone cared about her so much, she was really moved, and she also had to be good for their care.
Maybe it's because Wu Zixi's words just now made everyone confused! Everyone fell into silence, no one spoke, Wu Zixi also knew that it was her words that made everyone silent, she wanted everyone not to worry about her, but she didn't expect to say those words that made everyone even more worried.
"What's wrong with all of you? Why don't you speak, did I say something wrong?" Wu Zixi asked Zhou Fei a few people.
"Just tell us where you are and what you're doing! As long as we know how you're doing, we can rest assured! Everyone here is your friend, and you don't have to hide it. If you have any difficulties, we may be able to help you, why do you always have an attitude of rejecting people from thousands of miles away, so we will be very sad. Li Lan is a straightforward girl, she can't get used to the current Wu Zixi, she knows that Wu Zixi doesn't want everyone to know where she is now and what she does, but everyone is best friends, since they are friends, they shouldn't hide anything, let everyone know how she is doing.
"I'm volunteering, which isn't a glamorous job, but I'm really happy with the kids. Of course, it's a very poor place, you are all developing so well now, you have your own business, don't be too stingy, if the conditions allow, please help these children, they are the ones who need help the most. Compared to them, we are all living too well, and we should all be grateful for what life has given us. The life of volunteer teaching has made Wu Zixi understand a lot, seeing the sins suffered by those children, the grievances she suffered are nothing at all, and there are so many people who are worried about her, in fact, she is already very happy.
"It doesn't matter if the job is dazzling or not, it can make you happy, it can bring you a sense of accomplishment is good work, you can find things that make you happy, and we are all happy for you. As for helping those children, that's our obligation, and as long as we can help, we'll definitely help them. I have too many personal feelings about poverty, how can I bear to see them suffer. Wang Wei never spoke, but when he heard Wu Zixi say that she was teaching in the poor mountainous area, he immediately thought of his life as a child, which was too hard, and he didn't want anyone to live that kind of life. Therefore, he was the first to support Wu Zixi, and he promised that when his project made money, he would definitely take out a part of it to support those children.
In fact, since that accident, Wang Wei has made up his mind that no matter who he is, if he encounters difficulties, he will definitely help if he can, if there is no help from others that time, maybe he is no longer in this world, it may be just a gesture for you, and everything is everything for others.
"We're all the same, and if there's a place that works for us, we'll do our best. Zhou Fei and Li Lan also said that they had the same idea as Wang Wei. For the world, they are all ordinary people, but for them, we are lucky enough.
"Since we all think like this, I have a suggestion that maybe this can help more children. Wang Wei said to a group of people.
"If you have any good suggestions, you can say it!" Zhou Fei urged Wang Wei to say quickly, and the others were the same, I don't know if Wang Wei has any good suggestions. They are all ordinary people, and they belong to the lowest level of society in this city, but compared to the children that Wu Zixi said, they are lucky enough. Although their help is limited and very small, they still want to help those children, so that they can grow up healthy and happy, so that they do not carry the burden of life too early, which is not good for their growth.
"Each of us has the will to help those children, but after all, the power of a few of us is very limited, and if more people can be involved, more children will benefit. Wang Wei didn't say it directly, but everyone understood what he meant. Now if we want to help more people, we must use the power of society, and we must let more people understand the current situation of children's lives.
"I think the same thing, maybe that's the only way to help them. Zhou Fei first expressed his approval of Wang Wei's suggestion, and of course others had no objections.
"Since everyone thinks it's feasible, let's just do it. I propose to organize this event in the name of Wu Zixi, and we all do our part to do a good job of this activity, so that it can serve more children in need. Wang Wei continued. In fact, he had planned for this matter for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be brought about under such circumstances.
Wang Wei's proposal was also unanimously supported by everyone, Wu Zixi is the one who can really reach those children, she knows what the children need most, so it is most appropriate for her to do this.
Wu Zixi thought that in their eyes, she was a villain who worshiped money, but she didn't expect that they were willing to give her such an important thing to do, she now knows that they trust her very much, it seems that she used to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, especially to Wang Wei. Like Li Lan, when she was in school, she had a great prejudice against Wang Wei, and even at that time she persuaded Zhou Feishao to associate with people like Wang Wei. Now it seems that she and Li Lan were both wrong at that time, Wang Wei is not what they see on the surface, he is far better than the one in the eyes of others. Now, he is starting his own business, he has done what many people want to do but dare not do, and in this regard, he is more daring and far-sighted than any of them. Wang Wei is in a very good state now, and if he continues to do so in this state, he will definitely realize his ideals.
Since everyone agreed to let Wu Zixi do this, Wu Zixi can't shirk, the most important thing is that she wants to do this well, and this matter is of great significance to her.
With the help of Zhou Fei and Wang Wei, this matter went smoothly, more people participated, and the children in the poor mountainous areas received real help.
Busy time is always fast, just like our youth, we don't have time to praise youth, we find that the youth is gone, and it's too late to enjoy the sweetness of youth, we have to remember our youth, time has taught us to grow, but it has also stolen our years.
Because of their help, the children were given new clothes, new school bags, new desks, and every child of school age went to school, and no one dropped out of school because of poverty. Wu Zixi seems to have rejuvenated another kind of youth here, she has regained that sunny and confident self, and she vows that she will change the fate of these children and help them realize their ideals.
Wu Zixi's deeds have attracted the attention of the media, and the TV station has made a special report for her, and now more people have donated money to them, and their charity is much larger than before, and they have hired special people to manage the organization, so that every penny of the donor's money is worth it, and more poor children are helped.
Seeing the children happily going to school every day, the knot in Wu Zixi's heart also opened. Now, her smile is back, she is starting to think about a longer life, and she wants to have a home.
Zhou Fei and Li Lan's wedding date is approaching, Wu Zixi is the first person to be invited, and she doesn't know if she has time to go to the provincial capital to attend their wedding. She is very busy every day now, and sometimes she forgets a lot of things, including what happened in the past and what will happen in the future, but in this busyness, she understands a truth, that is, the past is not important, because it has passed, and the future is not important, because it has not yet come, only the present is the most important, because it is happening. Although she couldn't go to Zhou Fei and Li Lan's wedding, she decided to hold a special wedding for them here.
Yes, it was a special wedding, in which there were no officiants, no prominent guests, no roses and champagne, but flowers of all colors, songs of blessings. The flowers were picked by the children from the mountains, and the songs were taught by Wu Zixi. Each child made a gift for Zhou Fei and Li Lan, which was also the most special gift they received, some were delicate, some were clumsy, but it could be seen that they did it very carefully.
Youth is gone with the song, like the flame of a candle, every time it beats, its life decreases, from this moment on, Zhou Fei knows that his youth is over, and their generation has reached the time when they are entangled with life every day, and they will no longer talk about love and ideals from time to time, or show off to others.
Wang Wei's half-year training is over, this training he has learned a lot of management knowledge, but also met a lot of people with the same ambition as him, these days with these people to study, live together, so that Wang Wei has more confidence in the future. In the past, he thought that he would only be a computer installer or a small programmer in his life, but this study made him understand that everyone's potential is unlimited, and as long as he develops, he will burst out with infinite power.
Before returning to their hometown, Wang Wei and Zhou Fei went to the bar they went to on the eve of graduation, more than two years have passed, the bar has not changed much, even the boss has not changed, when they go in, the boss looks at them, and he wants to say that he has seen you somewhere, but he can't remember who you are!
Zhou Fei and Wang Wei chose a corner to sit down, there are already many people in the bar, many of them are their younger brothers and sisters, maybe they are now the same as they were at the beginning, full of illusions about the future, but unfortunately the future is not kind to them, they will also follow the path they have walked, and suffer the grievances and pains they have suffered.
The bar repeats a song of Wang Feng's "Goodbye Youth", the song seems to be sung specifically for the two of them, they are just like what is written in the lyrics, there is no youth anymore, there is not so much confusion, they will no longer be so easy to be sad.
"Goodbye youth, goodbye to the most brilliant sorrowful ......". Coming out of the bar, Zhou Fei and Wang Wei walked down the street, they were both drunk and sang this song loudly, they sang for a while, laughed loudly for a while, and then they went crazy for the last time in their youth.
Goodbye, youth, goodbye, the most brilliant sorrows, goodbye, the beautiful and sad past you have brought me.
