Life is more than just living

Chen Xu went back to visit his grandma over the weekend, but did not see Zhang Yong. I wonder if Zhang Yong deliberately avoided it. Chen Xu formed a habit of going directly to Zhao Yuhan's flower shop every Saturday afternoon when he came back from his grandma's house. Recently, Lin Zhiyuan has been acting as a driving school instructor every day, letting Chen Xu drive while he sits in the co-pilot to escort her. When Chen Xu parked the car in front of the flower shop, Zhao Yuhan and Cheng Qi were looking out through the window. Chen Xu got off the car and asked Lin Zhiyuan if he wanted to go in for a cup of tea. Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and said that I am a grown man and will not get involved with you little girls. I will go to the library in front. Give it to me when you are ready to go back later. Call up.

When Chen Xu entered, Zhao Yuhan handed her a cup of chrysanthemum tea. Cheng Qi was heartless and said to Chen Xu: "Chen Xu, the flower shop has made a profit recently. Be happy for us!" Chen Xu was sincerely happy, "That's great. Keep up the good work, you two. I really hope I become an old woman." Sometimes, I can occasionally come to the flower shop to drink tea." Zhao Yuhan said happily: "Thank you, Sister Xu, this is the best blessing I have ever received."

The three girls got closer and became good friends. Tell each other your stories when you have nothing to do.

Zhao Yuhan curiously asked Chen Xu and Cheng Qi one day, "You two have been classmates since elementary school. Why didn't you make friends at that time?" Chen Xu sighed, "Baby Cheng was too young at that time. She was only five years old when she went to elementary school. , and I am already ten years old. She is a little princess who is doted on by her brother, and I am an outcast. In front of her, I feel inferior. And every time after class, I will go to various We rummaged through the trash cans in class to find papers, books, and plastic bottles that could be sold, so we didn’t have much contact with each other. We didn’t see each other again in junior high school or high school. We only met again in college, and we only met twice in the four years of college. .”

Cheng Qi said next to her: "When I was in school, all the classmates in the class were older than me, and no one liked to play with me. But our teacher was very good and took good care of me." Speaking of Teacher Lin, Lian Cheng Qidu said that I have never met such a good teacher again. At this point, Teacher Lin's two students couldn't help but feel sad. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuhan quickly changed the subject and said: "Hey, by the way, Cheng Baobao, you are the younger among the three of us. You are four years younger than me, five years younger than Chen Xu, and you are the only one A married person. It can only be said that you are uniquely blessed. You have been with your lover since you were a child and met love early." Cheng Qi was a little embarrassed, but at the same time she was also a little proud. The three girls started a discussion about love. What is love?

Zhao Yuhan has always believed that the way her parents get along is love, without any drama, just taking care of each other and tolerating each other.

Cheng Qi said that love should be a feeling that you must feel. I don’t need to love this world, I can only love you.

The two people turned to Chen Xu and wanted to hear her opinion. Chen Xu was a little disappointed, "I'm afraid it's hard for me to meet love. I'm not as sure as Cheng Baobao, nor as confident as Yuhan. I'm more selfish and can't give without reservation, and I don't really believe it. The way others make me feel, I just want to live my life. Love? It’s a luxury, I can’t afford it.”

Cheng Qi was young and said to Chen Xu straightforwardly: "You can't think like that. Relationships require both parties to go for it. If you are always wary, how can you still love each other? Shouldn't love be about giving to each other? "Chen Xu shook his head, "I don't have a good life like you. I'm very satisfied with my current situation and can't ask for anything else. I didn't even have a family before and couldn't have enough to eat. Now I have a family. With friends like you, my material life has also made a qualitative leap, which is already very good. To me, love is like a condiment in food. With it, it may be more delicious and exciting, but without it, it’s okay.”

Several people were silent. After a while, Cheng Qi broke the silence, "Then you must have loved someone before, right?" Chen Xu smiled miserably, "That's right, but his mother didn't agree and was extremely insulting to me, so I don't want to go on like this anymore, I don't The only way is to devote yourself wholeheartedly to this relationship, so it is normal for people like me not to be loved, because I cannot devote myself wholeheartedly."

Zhao Yuhan poured some more water into Chen Xu's cup, "Chen Xu, don't belittle yourself like this. You did nothing wrong. Love should make you feel comfortable rather than torture. If a relationship makes you feel painful, it's okay to give up. It's no pity." As she spoke, she took the initiative to talk about her relationship experience, "When I was in college, I also had a boyfriend who was a student from another major in our college. He met me when he was studying in the library. He said It was beautiful that I was studying seriously. I was relatively stupid at the time, so I fell for such a cheap compliment. It may not be a good idea to say it now. I was with him on and off many times throughout college. When he was about to graduate, he participated in campus recruitment and found a good job. I liked flower shops, so I went to work in a flower shop. He couldn't understand my behavior and kept arguing with me. Later, we broke up. You know, when we broke up, he seemed to be more hurt than me. He said he didn’t expect me to be such a person, so unmotivated. In fact, I told him a long time ago that my wish is to open a flower shop. , he didn’t express any objection at that time. Maybe when he really entered the society, he knew how valuable and easy-to-use money is, so my preferences became less important! My parents are extremely ordinary people, but they live It's very interesting. They planted flowers in the suburban yard. On summer evenings, my father would play the erhu and my mother would sing a few lines. Usually when my mother did housework, my father would help me. As long as I can remember, they have never We have had quarrels, not even disagreements. When one person makes up his mind, the other person will definitely agree. That is the true way of quiet and peaceful life. I grew up in such a family, and I like it. life. I don’t have high requirements for material things and basically have low material desires. That’s why I can keep this small shop open. I basically don’t have much money left in the past two years. But because my living expenses are small, I can barely make it. It was only after Cheng Baobao joined that the store became prosperous. I hope to find someone who is willing to live an ordinary life with me and who won’t have too many disputes with me. I can’t rely on men for support, but I hope he will also Don't be too dissatisfied with what I do. Then I'll be satisfied."

Cheng Qi said: "Your requirements are too low. If everyone knew, how many boys would pursue you?" Zhao Yuhan shook her head and said, "You are wrong. Many boys hope that girls will work with him to improve their material life." level, there are really not many people like me. I also understand other people’s dislike, because life is more about fireworks, firewood, rice, oil and salt. Others think that people like me are not doing their jobs properly, but this is my dream since I was a child. , everyone has the right to pursue the life they want. We are not made from the same mold on the assembly line, and we should be allowed to be different. If I am lucky enough to meet someone who is willing to let me insist on being myself, I will treat him sincerely ." Chen Xu said with emotion from the side: "You deserve the best man. There must be a very good, very wise, and very discerning man who appreciates you and allows you to be the best version of yourself." Zhao Yuhan smiled and said: "Lend it to you. Good news."
