sad love

Chapter 17 Home is the Harbor of the Soul

After staying in this city for three days, my sister urged me to go home again and again.

"Brother, will you go home today?" My sister urged again early in the morning.

"I'm going back tomorrow, and I'll pack my luggage today." In fact, packing is just an excuse, and two or three changes of clothes and toiletries can be packed in the suitcase for three to five minutes.The main reason for staying for a day is to persuade Jingyi and me to go home and have a look.In the evening, I invited Yunfei and Yuting to have a gathering.

The next day Yunfei and Yuting went to the station to see us off.

They wanted to talk to each other, but just said softly - see you next year.I got into the car and heard Yu Ting's voice: "Jie, see you next year." I turned around and smiled.Yu Ting waved her hand.

My mother liked Jingyi very much, she rummaged through the jadeite bracelets that she had treasured for many years, and put them on for her with a smile.As for my father, after not seeing him for more than a year, he is much more amiable. He is not as arrogant as when he kicked me out of the house a year ago.

"Aren't you mad at me?"

"You haven't been home for more than a year, and now you're too old to be angry!"

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't make you angry."

"You should go outside while you're young and broaden your horizons. Even if you come back bleeding, your mother and I will still accept you." I know my father's hard conscience.I don't know whether it was God's matchmaking or the arrangement of time, but I actually chatted with my father all night, and he talked to the past.Most of my father's life is like a book, which can only be appreciated by reading it carefully.When he asked me about my presuppositions for the future, I froze.The future to me is like an equation to be solved, and I don't know if I will find the right solution set.

"I was also confused when I was young, but everything was very simple in our time. Now a lot of things have changed, and I don't know why. You are under a lot of pressure, which I can understand. But looking at the world, You have to learn "steadiness" to be able to do everything. Like an evergreen pine, as long as the root is fixed, no matter where the wind blows it will not move. The meaning of "steadiness" mentioned here is relatively broad. For example, you have to use clear goals, There must be a backup force. What is a backup force? Just like me and your mother, your girlfriend." I listened quietly to my father's motto.Finally he talked about Jingyi, "Jingyi is a good girl, you should cherish her."

After staying at home for a week, Jingyi and I returned to the city again.

"Brother, let me go with you."

"Stop fooling around!"

"Okay, I won't mess around and disturb your two-person world, are you happy?" My sister ran upstairs angrily after speaking.

"You kid is making your sister angry again."

"Mom, educate your younger sister well, I really want to beat her up seeing her foolishness."

"Okay, you guys go get your cars. Call us often."

It was the third week after the year when I drank with Yunfei again.

"It's been another year, and I'm still a fucking little department head. Yunjie, do you think I can continue to dream of being a manager?"

"Well, yes. Take your time."

"I couldn't wait, and now I'm starting to believe that all means matter as long as the end is good." I didn't learn his hint until much later.

"What are your plans?"

"I'm going to quit my job and become a manager at another company."

"Wow! What kind of logic is this? You quit your job and go to another company to start all over again." I thought the kid was talking in his sleep after drinking too much.A week later, when he invited me, Jingyi and the new neighbors to dinner, he found out that the boy had really become the manager.

"Worship me, Yunjie, I'll be the manager!"

"Worship, but I'm not bad, I'm already an associate editor."

"Then you want to treat us to a big dinner tomorrow night."

"Forget it together tonight, how about half of the fee for you and me?"

"Oh, you'll save money if you don't see each other for a few days. Jingyi, you should pay close attention to your ideological education!"

"He has been baptized in Marxism since he was in the second grade of elementary school, and he is still a lump of elm." Everyone laughed when they heard Jingyi's jokes on me.

Our new neighbor is Liu Xiaoyan. She is in her early twenties with a medium build and a goose-shaped face. Her cheeks are always covered with a thick layer of makeup. As for her job, she never mentions it.Once she fell ill and we took her to the hospital to be honest with us. "Actually, a slutty girl like me is not worthy of your kindness to me. I have trampled on myself time and time again, and now I have no complaints."

"Don't blame yourself, come out and be nice to yourself." One week after Liu Xiaoyan was discharged from the hospital, she invited us to dinner.

"Thank you for taking good care of me during my illness. I want to share a good news with you. I have found a good job. I will get back up and work hard from tomorrow." We all hope that Liu Xiaoyan can stand up again. Applause for life.

When I first entered the company gate, I saw my colleagues whispering to each other and didn't know what to talk about. "What is Viagra talking about?"

"You don't know yet, we're going to change bosses, and we don't know if we can keep our jobs."

"Really? I don't know."

"Hey, you are the deputy editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief values ​​you so much, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"I heard that the new boss is the editor-in-chief's daughter, and she will come back from the United States next week to take over the job of the editor-in-chief." At this moment, I remembered what the editor-in-chief said to me last time: This publishing house has condensed my whole life's hard work. I have to admit defeat at my age.Publishing social media for my daughter, you have to help her as much as you can But it's one thing to say, but another thing in reality, suddenly I'm worried about my job, and I'm restless all day.I can't remember how many cups of coffee I drank in a day.

"Xiao Zhang give me a cup of coffee."

"Assistant editor, are you okay? You've already drank ten cups of coffee. Drinking too much coffee is bad for your health."

"Really? Why don't I remember."

"I cooked it for you myself, it can't be wrong."

"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

I spent the whole week in panic, asking myself over and over again, do I really care about this job?

The author has something to say: family will never abandon us, no matter how poor we are or how we are cast aside.
