Chapter 37 Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Bai Zhi looked at the full page, feeling a little sad for herself, but soon, she felt glad that if it weren't for these questions, she might not realize that the real self was disappearing.
And then in such a stable life, when I suddenly woke up, I was already an old man.
Fortunately, she is still young and can still change, and there is still the tail of youth to catch and squander, these will not be too difficult!
In that case, why not give it a go? Since the root of all is one's own ignorance, let yourself be a knowing person first.
Bai Zhi returned to her residence almost with a wave of unspeakable excitement and full of enthusiasm, and she took out the passbook wrapped in envelopes from under her pillow, and carefully calculated the savings for two years of workβno more, no less, a full twenty thousand.
Thinking about the past two years, adding up to hundreds of days and nights spent in Xiao Suo's life and boredom, I can't help but feel a little distressed about these youthful times.
When I first graduated, I was under a lot of pressure to find a job. An average university graduate like Bai Zhi has average ability, and when he graduates, he is basically in business. Excellent talents have long been snatched up by the company in advance.
Bai Zhi has always been very envious of those outstanding talents, and has never had any thoughts of injustice. She has always felt that she is inferior to others, and it has always been her own problem, and she used to be, and she still is.
Fortunately, although two years of wasted time have been wasted, there is always something left, such as the passbook that I hold in my hand now. This is the truest of all.
I remember a long time ago, the heroine of a TV series said: In this life, you must have two passbooks, one to save wealth and one to store old friends.
In Bai Zhi's view, she has both of these things at this stage, and finally gives birth to hope and expectation for life at this slightly bleak moment.
After the final exams, the summer vacation is also rushing in. In previous years, during the summer vacation, I would go home to harvest corn, rice, and the like, and then I would sit under the electric fan and watch "Huanzhu Gege" play on TV over and over again.
In the summer vacation of this semester, Bai Zhi doesn't want to go home, she needs to go to the city, to exchange her long-old vision and long-imprisoned soul, to feel the noise and excitement of the city, and to impact her brain that has been asleep for a long time.
Bai Zhi stayed in school for a day, looked for a house and part-time job from the Internet, looked at the admission score line of the postgraduate entrance examination information in previous years and the enrollment information of relevant colleges, and compared the professional course results of several better schools.
After a whole day, the information of the graduate school entrance examination and the approximate target colleges and universities have been well known, and some books have been screened and collected on the Internet, and a bunch of them have already been densely written down in the notebook.
Busyness will always make time pass incomparably smoother, and after a series of things are sorted out, it is already early in the morning.
The streets have long been quiet, and the sound of air conditioners running in several houses seems a little abrupt in the night.
When she was about to fall asleep, Su Mulan's words that day were like a spell, constantly echoing in her ears, like a thorn, and finally found the right soil, quietly took root and sprouted in Bai Zhi's heart.
Because of the particularity of their work, Fang Yuan and Mai Dong usually go to work as usual except for weekends, and they are very puzzled that Bai Zhi actually stayed after the holiday.
There was a messy knock on the door, and someone who was still dreaming in his sleep was finally awakened. Bai Zhi rolled over and opened the door with squinted eyes. The next moment, he threw himself into the mattress again and fell asleep at a second's speed.
Fang Yuan hated Bai Zhi's life of having two months of free vacation and being able to sleep until he woke up naturally at this time. Subconsciously dragged the person on the bed up, grabbed his shoulders and kept shaking: "You are making people jealous, you know?" Don't sleep! β
Bai Zhi snorted and surrendered: "What are you doing!" β
Fang Yuan: "You're not going home this summer?" β
Bai Zhi rubbed her eyes, tried to open them and said, "Don't go back." But I'm going to Newmarket. β
Fang Yuan was a little surprised, not surprised that she didn't go home, but surprised that she went to Xinshi. Fang Yuan asked cautiously, "Who are you going to find in Xinshi?" β
Bai Zhi looked at her and said in a tone that had been contemplating for a long time, "Have you lived enough of the life you have now?" I feel busy every day, but I don't know what I'm busy with. It's boring when I'm free. β
Fang Yuan looked at it, his eyes were a little lowered, and his face was a little helpless: "So what?" Who doesn't want to live a colorful life every day. After a pause, he said, "You don't know how fierce the competition is in the big cities right now. Ordinary people like us, no. β
Bai Zhi seemed to see the helplessness in Fang Yuan's eyes gradually turning into a kind of sadness in a trance, and her eyes turned red at some point. Is it the times that make us, or are we the ones who make the times? No one can tell.
It is undeniable that a secure job is becoming more and more difficult to find, and when this stability and comfort are obtained, no one will risk throwing it away and pursuing an unpredictable future.
Fang Yuan collected his emotions and said in a serious tone: "Cherish the stable work now." It's good for girls to be teachers, although the salary is not much, but there are holidays. β
"Is this really what you want?" Bai Zhi asked rhetorically, "Have you ever thought that if you meet someone you love, but because of what you are doing now, you can't be together." At that time, you really won't regret it? β
Fang Yuan was stunned, she didn't know why Bai Zhi was a little overdone today, she had the impression that she had never discussed life and work so seriously as she did now.
Fang Yun looked at her, and there was a strange confusion and stubbornness in his eyes that people couldn't see through: "Such a situation will not exist." Because I wouldn't be with someone who dislikes me at all. β
"What if it's Jingmo? Don't you care either? Bai Zhi looked at her stubbornness and felt a little distressed.
Fang Yuan was speechless for a while. Vaguely, as if to be deliberately avoided. I made an excuse and left the room.
As soon as Fang Yuan left, Bai Zhi realized how self-righteous she was, Fang Yuan was finally admitted to her current job, and finally ended her life of wandering after graduation, and what about her, was she ready to impose her thoughts on Fang Yuan?
Bai Zhi didn't know what kind of mood she was in to pack her luggage, and when she was ready to go out, she repeatedly confirmed her heart - the life she wanted, the extent she could work hard to achieve, not for others, nor for face. It's for the original intention in my heart.
Then I remembered that what Fang Yuan said in the morning was a little excessive, so I wrote a message and took care of the dishes and meals at noon, and then went out with my luggage.
The summer sun came out early, and soon after, the ground emitted a smell of roasted cement. The heat was still rising, and the woods that flashed outside the car window and the depths of the mountains and forests in the distance had not yet been fogged by the sun.
It's a three-hour drive from the town to Newtown. If it were in the usual place, after sitting in the car for such a long time, Bai Zhi would have been dizzy and would not sit peacefully like at this moment.
Halfway through, the car stopped at the sign of a young man waving on the side of the road.
As soon as the young man got into the car, he looked around, slowly walked to Bai Zhi's side, and asked softly, "Classmate, can I sit here?"
Bai Zhi looked at the person in front of her, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when she smiled, she showed her row of snow-white teeth. Bai Zhi nodded.
The young man was very patient, and quietly watched Bai Zhi put away the things on the seat, and then sat down gently and slowly.
The car stopped at a service area that was about to reach Xinshi, and the young man next to him put his bag on the seat, politely asked Bai Zhi to help watch it, and then followed the crowd out of the car.
After a while, the driver shouted at his passengers with a loudspeaker, and the situation reminded Bai Zhi of playing with her friends when she was a child and forgot the time.
At this time, the children heard the voices of their parents, and they regretted that the game was not finished, and they were afraid that they would be beaten if they returned late. Only after saying goodbye to his partner in a hurry, and then not forgetting to agree on the name of tomorrow's game, and everything was arranged, he reluctantly went home.
The crowd got into the car in response, and the driver counted the number of people before starting the car.
When the young man came up, there was a fragrance of corn floating on his body, he still sat down gently, his eyes carefully swept over Bai Zhi's side face, coughed, and whispered: "Classmate, you are also going to Xinshi." β
After a long time, seeing that Bai Zhi didn't answer him, he said, "Classmate, do you know where there is training for graduate school entrance examination in Xinshi?" β
Bai Zhi suddenly turned his head, his eyes touched him, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, hurriedly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said, "You are also going to graduate school?" I saw on the Internet that there is a student hall. β
"Oh." The young man deliberately dragged out his tone, "I thought you couldn't speak." β
Seeing Bai Zhi's blank face, he added: "From the moment I got in the car to greet you, you just nodded and shook your head, I thought you were ......"
Bai Zhi didn't say anything, turned around, gently leaned her head against the back cushion, and pretended to be asleep.
The young man felt that he had said the wrong thing and shut up. The atmosphere quieted down.
The car circled around the city and finally arrived at the station in New City. The driver picked up the horn and used his deep voice to solemnly announce the arrival of the station in the narrow car, and the passengers should pay attention to safety and other heart-warming words.
Bai Zhi waited for everyone to get out of the car, took out the mineral water in the bag and drank it all in one gulp, threw the bottle into the trash, and then walked down with her luggage.
As soon as I got out of the car, I compared the scorching sun outside with the refreshing spring temperature inside the car, and the heat came to my face.
Bai Zhi stopped a taxi at the station gate and went to her accommodation. When I found my phone, there were a few missed calls, all from the landlord. It seems that he is in a hurry to rent out the house.
Although Bai Zhi is looking for a house environment, it is still on the side of the road, and in Xinshi, the price is relatively reasonable, and the place to work part-time is relatively close.
Bai Zhi arrived at the place, carried her luggage upstairs, the corridor was narrower, fortunately, there was monitoring on each floor, and the safety should be guaranteed, and the landlord was already waiting in front of the door.
