If Chen Xiang and Wang Yan had stayed in their hometown to work, they might have been able to live such a life: wake up in the morning, water the flowers, listen to their favorite music, make a nutritious breakfast for the children, and then accompany the children to eat breakfast before sending the children to school. Start your day with the sunshine.

Now, all this has become a luxury. All he wants is such a simple life. No longer mention any ideals, no longer mention any struggles, as long as the children can be well fed.

This is the most ordinary life, but it was pushed thousands of miles away by the ideals of youth more than ten years ago. Now, looking back and looking forward to it, I feel that I am far away from the end of the world.

Is this really the day they are looking forward to? If so, why did Chen Xiang become suspicious of the new choice? Why does Wang Yan insist on taking the exam?

Chen Xiang and Wang Yan once discussed that if one day, they retired, and the children would no longer need them to work when they grew up. They went to the ravines and ravines to do compulsory education, and they barely completed their "teacher dream".

On this day, the children went to school, and Wang Yan cleaned up the wardrobe at home, sorting out the clothes that were not worn and too small: three full bags. Chen Xiang asked Wang Yan: "What are you doing here?" ”

"If you don't wear it at home, you will waste it and send it to the children in the disaster area."

"Do you have a home address?" Chen Xiang asked curiously.

"Everyone on WeChat, look," Wang Yan said, opened the phone, pointed to an address and read: "Yunnan Nujiang Gongshan County Nature Conservation Bureau needs: all the clothes and items that can be used by poor villagers regardless of adults and children, address: Yunnan Nujiang Gongshan County Nature Conservation Bureau, contact: He Zhengjun, Tel: 0886-3513288, Zip code: 673500""-

"Who pays for the postage?" Without waiting for Wang Yan to finish reading, Chen Xiang asked.

"Of course the person who sent it gave it, and everyone is poor like that, how can they afford the postage?"

"Do you still have money to pay for postage?" Chen Xiang asked.

"It's not expensive, less than 4 yuan per kilogram." Wang Yan added: "People have to be of some use to others in life, and we don't have the ability to do great good deeds, so let's do something small within our ability, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for our children and grandchildren." ”

Chen Xiang looked at Wang Yan affectionately, this poor woman, but she was still worried about strangers in her heart, he knew why he had always loved her, and why he always felt at ease with her. This woman, who pushes herself, but never sneers at her failures, is so comfortable that she feels.

"It's not expensive for ordinary people, put the clothes aside first, and then send them when we have money." Chen Xiang said.

"Hmm." Wang Yan agreed, indeed, she now even has to worry about the money for buying vegetables every day, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and she can't afford a ticket yet.

"After the New Year, I'll get a job." Wang Yan said.

"Who's going to take that kid?" Chen Xiang questioned.

"If her grandmother can come, let her bring it for us, and if she doesn't want to come, I'll bring it myself." Wang Yan said, "If you find a job closer to you, you can take care of your children while working, and you can read books and review." ”

"Hmm." Chen Xiang gently pulled Wang Yan into his arms, hugged her tightly and said, "Next year, I will work hard to earn money, and let's live a good life." ”

A bright light penetrated through the glass, and for a moment the room looked so bright. Chen Xiang only felt that his heart was also bright, and his hand around Wang Yan was tighter, and Wang Yan leaned his head on his chest. "I'm going to take you and our two daughters on a new journey together."

"Well, let's do a good job and live a good life with our children." Wang Yan whispered.

"Do you know why I was willing to forgive you in the first place?" Wang Yan asked.

Chen Xiang knew what she was referring to and asked, "Why?" “

"Because, I found out that you really like people. This means that you are still saved. Wang Yan pushed Chen Xiang away and said, "The most important thing is that you really care about your family." “

"Hmm. My wife just knows me. "Chen Xiang wants to pull Wang Yan. Wang Yan pushed him away and said, "You know what? Just like the analysis of psychologists, in fact, each of us will encounter a lot of the opposite sex in our lives, but we have more commonalities with some people and less commonality with some people. When encountering the same commonality, it is easy to be attracted to it, whether it is good or bad. It's just that some people turn this attraction into appreciation and become a kind of friendship, while others let this attraction develop, and they have a small three. You see that Baoyu has true feelings for everyone. “

"You have a point." Chen Xiang nodded. This Wang Yan discussed work, life, and feelings with him, perhaps it was these endless discussions that made them understand each other better, and I don't know when, in addition to the relationship between husband and wife, a kind of friendship was born between them.

"Wife, you are so smart, do you say your husband can still make a lot of money?"

"Haha—you're a money junkie!" Wang Yan smiled and continued, "Money is not something that anyone wants to have, and more is not necessarily a good thing." The two of us can get to where we are today because you and I didn't have any money at the beginning. However, now that I have money, I can go on. “

"How can I raise my children if I don't have money."

"Money is the introduction, and it still has to be earned. Just don't be demanding, the key is to have a goal, people have no goals, life is no different from animals. Wang Yan, who pays attention to spirit, said.

Well, you're right, maybe, that's the meaning of life, to walk through this station, and then to the next, tirelessly, until life runs out. I want to live until I am old, I will work until I am old, and I will never retire. Chen Xiang said with a smile.

Mediocre people have only one life, called life: excellent people have two lives, life and life. Exceptional people have three lives: life, life, and mission. They represent survival, life, and responsibility, respectively!

In the story of Chen Xiang and Wang Yan, sometimes Chen Xiang is the protagonist, and sometimes, the protagonist is replaced by Wang Yan. It doesn't matter to them who the protagonists are, what matters is that, in a sense, they have become one. They have taken detours, tried to shake off mediocrity, and in the long river of years, they have strived for excellence, and now they hope to achieve excellence, like many kind and ambitious people, to be able to realize their life value as ordinary people.
