Chapter 22 Love and Duty
Are we happy? No one can give a precise answer, but one thing is certain, our work does not give us happiness. It's not absolute, but it's the case for most people. We don't work to be happy, we do to survive.
Every morning, countless people pour into the streets, their faces blank and crowded with buses or subways. Step into one office building after another, or other jobs, and return until night. The day is all wasted somewhere, just for the pitiful salary at the end of the month, but to support you to survive in this city.
The same is true for Lin Shuquan, who has become confused since the first day he stepped into society. He has no goals, no dreams, and no idea where his future holds. Of course, this is not a special case for him alone, perhaps most of our generation has become like this. Despite this, people still have to have an income to support themselves. So Lin Shuquan chose his current job in a daze, and he did it for two years.
Work does not make him happy, it is more painful, he works every day for the sake of work, for the sake of wages. I even thought about quitting more than once, but when I looked back, what could I do? It's just a leap from one pain to another. So, where are the words of happiness?
Lin Shuquan appeared in their manager's office early in the morning, and when the manager Liu, who had thinning hair and a beer belly, heard that Lin Shuquan wanted to be transferred to the sales department, the manager was a little surprised.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the sales department?" Manager Liu was puzzled.
Lin Shuquan replied very seriously: "I want to change the working environment, and more importantly, I can make more money." ”
This is a truth, Manager Liu can fully understand, money, who doesn't want to make a little more?
"You're telling the truth." Manager Liu showed a 'kind' smile: "But as far as I know, you have no sales experience, and you must know that the competition in the sales department is very large, some can make money, and some are eliminated." If you really love sales, you can try, but if you just want to make more money, I advise you to think twice. ”
Love? Of course not, naturally for the money. So, he walked out of the manager's office disappointed and continued to sit in his little square, working mechanically. Most of the colleagues around me are like this, when they are free, they chat happily together, and when they enter the work state, their expressions all become indifferent, occasionally raise their heads, glance at the clock on the wall, heh, it is a minute closer to the end of work.
When he walked out of the suffocating office building, Lin Shuquan let out a long breath. Looking at the gray sky and the sultry air, why doesn't it rain a single time? Then he continued to squeeze the bus that could never grab a seat, holding the handrail with one hand and chatting with Gu Xiaoman with his mobile phone in the other. Only at this time can Lin Shuquan feel truly happy.
Life is not satisfactory, so I will cherish my hard-won love more. Hand in hand, strolling along the park paths, a cool breeze blew away some of the heat.
"Xiaoman, you are so beautiful."
"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" Gu Xiaoman smiled happily, who doesn't want their lover to praise themselves?
"It's nothing, I just feel so lucky that God can give me such a good girlfriend." Lin Shuquan looked doting.
"How do you feel weird today?"
"It's nothing."
The wind ruffled Gu Xiaoman's long hair, and Lin Shuquan looked at her blankly. He found that he loved Gu Xiaoman too much, and the woman in front of him was his life's pursuit, so he absolutely couldn't lose her, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if he lost her one day. He's going to go crazy.
Full of love and hot eyes, Gu Xiaoman lowered his head shyly.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Shuquan didn't answer, he took Gu Xiaoman into his arms and hugged him tightly, for fear that as soon as he let go, the person in front of him would disappear.
"I'm going to do it."
"To do what?"
"Love you for a lifetime."
"Me too."
Love, how beautiful it feels, at the same time, it is also a responsibility, when you have love, you must also shoulder the responsibility it brings to you.
When Lin Shuquan woke up in a sweet sleep, he saw that sweet smiling face.
"Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, and have breakfast."
Looking at the simple breakfast on the dining table, Lin Shuquan's eyes were a little moist, this is a long-lost, homely feeling.
Gu Xiaoman was a little disappointed when he saw Lin Shuquan's appearance: "Isn't it delicious?" I learned it from Lin Rou for a long time. ”
"No, it's delicious, thank you." The feeling in Lin Shuquan's heart, he himself can't tell, is it happiness, or something else?
"Hurry up and eat, I'm going to be late for work!" Gu Xiaoman urged.
This kind of life is what he wants, that's all, it's as simple as that. Therefore, he has to do his best to protect this life, he has to work harder to create a home that belongs to them, and then work together to spend a long and happy life.
When they went out together, they happened to meet Lin Rou in the corridor, and the three of them greeted each other and took the elevator downstairs together, but no one spoke. Downstairs, they're going in different directions.
"Goodbye." Gu Xiaoman kissed Lin Shuquan on the left cheek, said goodbye to Lin Rou, turned around and walked away quickly. Lin Shuquan stood in place, looking at Gu Xiaoman's departing back.
"It's already gone." Lin Rou patted Lin Shuquan on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Lin Shuquan smiled awkwardly.
"I'm happy!" Lin Rou continued, looking at Lin Shuquan with an envious look.
Lin Shuquan smiled and nodded, "I also wish you to find your happiness as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you."
"Goodbye."
"Bye-bye."
Continue to repeat the past, but the mood is different, the workplace is unsatisfactory, the love scene is proud, God is always fair. We are not born to be excellent, but we choose the right to be excellent, Lin Shuquan no longer dozed off in the car as before, but began to search for various knowledge articles, he decided, first enrich his brain.
That's at least a good thing, he knows how to start improving himself instead of complaining. Trying to make ourselves good is not for anyone to see, but for ourselves to be worthy of everything I want, such as love.
