Chapter 21: The Cuckoo
In late autumn, the leaves fall one after another, adding a touch of gloom to this season.
Everyone has a dream in their hearts, accompanied by the rumbling thunder of spring, and followed by the geese that flew south under the autumn sunset. In the next spring, the fire of dreams is rekindled in my heart. Perhaps, life has taught us more to trust the eyes of the people around you, and it is best not to overestimate yourself and think that everyone is blind at any time.
During this time, I was busy with work, but I didn't have much to gain, and most of them were busy with the handover of the old and new bosses and the completion of a series of sales tasks.
The new boss is not a newcomer, it is the past, the future and the former Boss Lan.
At this time, the two newly recruited employees in the company looked elated, singing whatever song they went to, and followed Boss Lan's side, laughing and laughing.
What I want to say is that no matter how old you live in life, as long as you are new to a new environment, a new group of people, every day of gain and loss, every step is a process of paying tuition, and my own feelings are particularly profound. It is often thought to be the easiest way to communicate with people, but it is the most difficult way to communicate. Just by fighting with the boss and wanting to call for wind and rain in the company, it will not last. The more you hope for a better future, the more you fall into poverty, the more you look forward to the front and back, the more you don't have any gains, and in the end it will be a lonely end. You see that the mainstay of those large companies, it is difficult to do today without the experience of many battles, it requires too many comprehensive things about people, industries and market knowledge.
Every day, I am busy with my head down, and occasionally I hear the cuckoo squeaking for a while.
She's been in our store for more than half a month. Every morning she would smile hard at me for a while, her big eyes flickering. She is about the same age as me, and she likes to wear a black and white bar or a white black bar, anyway, it is the same style as zebra skin, and I am dazzled and annoyed. Yesterday, she said that I was really an old scalper who could only work, and would not enjoy life.
At noon, the cuckoo greedily ate the food he had brought from home, and after a while, he wiped his mouth, and the food was so delicious. So I sat quietly next to her, secretly looking at her not-so-good-looking appearance, and secretly calculating the time of her meal. After eating for twenty-five minutes, I used a small packet of paper just to wipe my mouth.
It's time, I said, hey! What makes you eat so well and eat for twenty-five minutes in such a busy time? She seemed to be taken aback. I pretended to be a boss and asked her to explain it clearly. She stared at her big watery eyes in a daze, and didn't say anything for a long time. Looking at her appearance, I took a sip of boiled water from the cup, laughed and said, "Fun with you." She patted her chest with her hand, and then looked at a pile of used tissue paper on the table and laughed, she said that this was the braised pork ribs that her mother made for her in the morning, but it was fragrant, and she was hungry all morning, but she ate it in her mouth at eleven o'clock, and then patted her chest and laughed comfortably.
A round face, a pair of big watery eyes, and a small mouth that is obviously too big, wearing a ten-centimeter-thick flatform shoes that can be about 1.60 meters of medium height, and a slightly fat cuckoo, she introduced herself, she must be a foodie who didn't run.
The cuckoo is sometimes like a cuckoo bird, squeaking endlessly, and the sound is very high, there is an old saying called: the wife is loud. You can't go wrong with that. But I liked her squeaking energy in those lonely days, and sometimes I even squeaked with her, I felt very noisy, and I don't know how many times I was bumped into by Boss Lan, although Boss Lan had displeasure written on his face, but his mouth was always a compliment to us.
In the blink of an eye, the snowflakes are fluttering, and in the streets and alleys of the city and in the square courtyards of the farmhouses, people in the northeast who are accustomed to cat winter are looking forward to the arrival of the next spring. Time passed, day after day, living a dull and extremely ordinary day, as if it were a pool of deep water, only when the wind rose, it would be rippling.
The name cuckoo is very good, and I love flowers, and I also like the woman named Cuckoo in front of me. Rhododendron is one of the top ten traditional flowers in China, also known as Yingshan Red and Jindalai. Every Qingming season, when you hear the loud cry of the cuckoo bird, the mountains are full of splendid rhododendrons.
I checked the bookbox, there are about 900 varieties of azaleas in the world, and my country is the country with the largest distribution of azaleas, with about 500 varieties. Every year at the turn of spring and summer, when the famous Shangri-La's azaleas bloom, it attracts countless tourists. I have never found time to go to Shangri-La to see the sea of rhododendrons, what an intoxicating scene! It is said that every time the azalea is in full bloom, the petals fall into the water, attracting countless fish to devour the petals in the water, and they are drunk on the water. Of course, there is also the sea of rhododendrons in Guangxi, which is also extremely spectacular, and I must go around it in my lifetime.
A person's name is very important, so important that it will accompany you for a lifetime, and even after death, it has to be chiseled on a tombstone.
Some people say, isn't it just a symbol, what is the name is different, there used to be called dog eggs, leashed, and rice, but it was also called for a lifetime. I said that it is still the same as before, and there are actually many things implied by the name, which also hints at the fate and fortune of a lifetime. For example, when I was in junior high school, I had a male classmate whose name was "I am too handsome", but he looked exactly the opposite of his name, and whenever the teacher called him, he would cause laughter when he stood up. For example, if you give birth to a girl in your family, do you dare to name her my fair name in order to scream? After the first day, she became a big fat girl, didn't this become a laughing stock? Of course, ninety-nine out of a hundred people wouldn't do that, and I'm just going to give you an example of the importance of names. Speaking of which, in fact, I want to talk about the name of the cuckoo, the azalea and the cuckoo bird are naturally flowers and birds, that is not said, but if people call this name, I don't think it is so appropriate. Everyone knows that the cuckoo bird is sad, and the so-called "cuckoo cries blood into flowers," which is a legend that everyone knows. Based on these own and sometimes narrow-minded ideas, it is assumed that the life of the cuckoo will not be too satisfying.
As I came into contact with more and more, I knew that Cuckoo's life was not beyond my expectations, and I couldn't use the word sadness to describe it, but her love life was indeed a kind of sadness.
Living this thing, behind closed doors, there is a family that is difficult to sing, who can know if you don't say it?
Cuckoo is a standard, lovely beauty, very capable, very tight-handed, reluctant to spend a penny wrong, compared to her, I spend money is also a big spending. Perhaps, it's the torture of life, I often hear Du Juan say that life is everywhere in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", I asked her, who are you in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? She giggled again, and then, mocking herself, saying that she was no one, and what she wanted to be the most was the queen, the director of the family planning department, who made me laugh!
Looking at such a lovely cuckoo and listening to such a crisp sound, I really feel that she is like a cuckoo bird, and the loud sound is as quiet and pleasant as the evening breeze through the forest.
But you can't think of her story anyway, and after she told it to me, I felt that it was outrageous. Her ex-husband has a beautiful name called "Baiyun", anyway, I think it's a little inappropriate for a man to call this name. In the midst of this, how did the people with these two inappropriate names come together? Who pulled the string? I was curious, I wanted to know, and I was too embarrassed to ask too much, so I had to wait slowly for her to say it little by little.
I'm thinking, the white clouds are fluttering, the azaleas are blooming, what a poetic scene!
The cuckoo looks so delicate and lovely, and the white clouds will look as elegant as the white clouds in the sky? Just listen to this name, full of fairy spirit, ordinary people can't reach it, I really have an impulse to see the true face of Baiyun.
