Chapter 43: The "Post-Youth" Era

Feng Nan put down the phone and scolded in his seat: How can there be such a bad woman as Zoe in this world, and she really lives her life as a palace fighting drama! In order to rectify her, she didn't even care about the life of the little girl. Shameless! The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she flipped through her phone and wanted to hack Zoe. Suddenly remembered that he owed Li Feng a phone call just now, so he called back first.

After the phone was connected, she immediately believed to Li Feng and cried: "Brother Feng, I'm really going to lose my job this time." I couldn't go to Shanghai, I wanted to go to Shanghai to surprise you! ”

Li Feng paused and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Feng Nan carefully told Li Feng the twists and turns that had happened in the past few days, and finally concluded: "I can't compete with a pregnant woman for a job." This Shanghai will definitely not be able to go. But I really don't want to be a mobile unit, I'm going to die of exhaustion on business trips every day, and I can't take care of my home and can't see you, I'm going to resign......"

Li Feng was silent over there, and after a while, he smiled slightly: "It's okay...... Don't worry."

Feng Nan was so confused by his pause that he lost the rhythm of singing, so he asked in turn, "What are you calling me for?"

"You just ...... Didn't hear? Li Feng asked.

"No," Feng Nan smiled embarrassedly: "That girl called me just now, I'm afraid of going to the stage." Tell me now. ”

"Oh...... It's okay......" Li Feng replied: "I'm just telling you, I won't be going home on weekends." ”

Feng Nan asked, "Where are you going on a business trip?" ”

"Huh?" Li Feng raised a question, and after a long time, he reacted and said, "No business trip...... Overtime. I hung up. ”

"You're hanging?" Feng Nan turned her phone over, looked at it, and couldn't believe that it was Li Feng on the other side, she turned the phone over again, and said into the earpiece: "I'm going to lose my job for such a big thing, you don't talk to me...... Before he finished speaking, Feng Nan heard the beep of the opposite side.

She threw her phone on the desktop in surprise and read, "Hey, this Li Feng? Isn't it sick! After speaking, he stood up angrily and flicked his finger at Li Feng's face on a family photo on the table.

There is no absolute standard for the definition of youth. Different countries have different definitions, and it is constantly changing with socio-economic, political, and humanistic developments. In 1985, the United Nations defined youth for the first time as "between the ages of 15 and 24"; In 2017, the World Health Organization raised the upper age limit for young people to 44 years; According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, youth is defined as 15-34 years old......"

This is the opening sentence in an anxious poisonous chicken soup that Feng Nan recently read in the circle of friends.

Feng Nan, who is over 30 years old, whether she pinched her fingers with her left hand or her right hand, she was properly in the "tail" of youth. The post-85s generation like her is stepping into an era called: "post-youth".

"It's the best of times and it's the worst of times."

Although Feng Nan knew this sentence from the Infernal Affairs series of movies, not in Dickens's novels. But she, like every knowledge-monger, anxiety-maker, literary youth or businessman who later quoted this sentence, felt the magic of this sentence:

Best VS Worst;

Wisdom VS Stupidity;

Trust VS Suspicion;

Sunlight VS Darkness;

Hope VS Disappointment;

Having everything VS having nothing;

Road to Heaven VS Gates of Hell......

The "post-youth" who lives himself into a twisted twist is by no means the only one Feng Nan.

At this moment, she locked herself in the car and was worried, and she had no intention of turning off the engine and getting out of the car. The engine operation was mild, but still uncomfortable. More than once she began to think about what she was going to pursue in this lifeβ€”this kind of philosophical question, especially in the moment of setbacks in the workplace.

But she will be frustrated by the truth of her cowardice and timidity, and hate the weakness in her character, which makes her completely wrong way of dealing with "good years" and "famine years". The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, so I was completely defeated and cried in the car.

Feng Nan cried while calling Li Feng's phone, and as soon as she connected, he said: "People are uncomfortable to death, why do you want to hang up the phone?" Can't you talk to me? ”

"What's wrong with the baby?" Li Feng asked anxiously.

"I don't want to be unemployed," Feng Nan sobbed while holding a tissue and pressing the corner of her eye, tears quickly soaked one end of the tissue, and she said: "I don't want to go back to being a low-level commissioner who travels everywhere......"

"I didn't hear you uncomfortable just now, I thought you didn't care very much, so I hung up." Li Feng explained, and added: "Don't be sad about this. ”

"When did you ever understand me!" Feng Nan cried even more fiercely, sobbed, and said: "I want to save face, and I always show that I don't care about the things I care about, when will you understand?" ”

"Okay, good, my husband is wrong." Li Feng comforted, and said sincerely: "Actually, it's really nothing." It's not like you can't find a job, so it's a big deal to change jobs? ”

"I just don't want to look for a job!" Feng Nan complained anxiously: "Now it's difficult to find a job even after the 90s, who will pay attention to an old man like me." The connections and recognition that have been accumulated with great difficulty are going to start all over again...... There's a lot more to come by. ”

"It's nothing to go on a business trip......" Before Li Feng's words landed, he was interrupted by Feng Nan, and she said; How could it be nothing? What should Xiaoman do, he doesn't have a father anymore, does he still have a mother? ”

"It's not that Li Xiaoman doesn't have a father, it's that his father works far away." Li Feng corrected.

"It doesn't make a difference......"

Li Feng was not sensitive to the emotions in Feng Nan's words, and just tried to help Feng Nan clarify his thoughts. He couldn't figure it out, what Feng Nan wanted was actually just a reassuring sentence similar to I love you.

Finally, as if he had lost his strength, he sighed deeply and said, "Feng Nan, I just want you to be happy." You can do what you love without thinking about making money. ”

Feng Nan's heart softened, and replied: "My hobbies are all money-losing goods, but we haven't bought a house in the school district yet, how can we not consider ......?"

Li Feng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said as if he had made an oath: "Then my ideal in this life is to let you lose money for your hobby!" ”

Feng Nan's anger was half gone, and she said again: "Why don't you tell me about letting me go to Shanghai now?" Isn't it time to take advantage of the danger of others? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I know you don't like Shanghai. It doesn't matter where you are, I just want to be with you both. Li Feng replied, and said, "Why don't you tell me which city do you like?" ”

"Don't tell you, guess for yourself."

"Wait, are you going to hang up?" Li Feng asked before Feng Nan hung up.

"That's a guess," Feng Nan replied.

"Then I'll say the last sentence," Li Feng said: "Rest well, don't be angry, believe me!" ”

Feng Nan hung up the phone, swiped the circle of friends for a while, and his mood gradually calmed down. She saw that Donald's long-lost circle of friends was finally updated:

"Old life, new beginning!"

She opened the reply window, organized the language for a long time, and finally chose to only like it.

She thinks that Donald is finally "keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon", and she is afraid that she is going to "have a new life, an old beginning".
