Chapter 27 Chicken Soup for the Soul

But chicken soup is chicken soup.

Don't expect it to sustain a soul. Just like you can't expect it to fill you up.

It can only temporarily comfort the soul and relieve anxiety. You may be very excited when you first read it, but after you wake up, you still feel lifeless deep down.

What's more, some chicken soup articles themselves have wrong values.

Fang Chen got tired of reading chicken soup articles after a few days.

In an ordinary family, some are happy and some are sad?

After the New Year, Chang Hao still went to work every day, so the mother and son were basically at home during the holidays.

Every day, Fang Chen, mother and son, would go to the elderly's homes on both sides in the morning on alternate days, and the afternoon would be all to themselves.

Fang Chen saw that Jianjian still continued to practice empty strings every day with undiminished enthusiasm. I am afraid that if I make a mistake in practice, it will be difficult to correct it later. I simply found a day to go to the library building and bought an introductory textbook on violin.

I also bought myself a copy of "Selected Song Poems".

When I was in college, I liked to write poems and lyrics, and participated in several poetry club activities. However, I always felt that I was not good at it, and I did not dare to read the things I wrote aloud in public, so I gave up later.

A classmate in the poetry club would always read his works aloud no matter how others laughed at him. Now he has become a well-known poet. He has joined the Writers Association of his province and often publishes his works in newspapers and periodicals. The other students in the poetry club are similar to Fang Chen, living a trivial and mediocre life with no poetry and no future. When many people start out, their talents and talents are not much different. What leads to different results is often persistence and self-confidence.

Life is so plain, and there is no extravagant hope for the distance.

But there can still be poetry!

So, on the afternoon of the last few days of winter vacation, Fang Chen was reading "Song Poems", and the child was sawing wood next to him, imitating the pictures in the introductory violin textbook.

If you ignore the noise, it really feels like the quiet time has passed.

Accompanying the elderly is also a kind of peaceful time.

The elderly on both sides have high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, varicose veins and other problems, which are all occupational diseases of teachers. Because the elderly people's legs and feet are not very good and they cannot walk far, they often need to buy some things and send them away.

Sometimes when he sees them aging in pain, Fang Chen feels distressed and helpless. The two pairs of retired teachers were both hard-working and uncomplaining types. They had suffered a lot and suffered a lot in their decades of work experience.

Therefore, after retirement, I will learn from the pain and often think of the rights and wrongs of the past, which will make me feel very uncomfortable, even extremely angry, and sometimes I will get angry. In particular, the two retired female teachers often looked calm one second and became furious the next.

Among the children, only Fang Chen could listen to their nagging quietly, so they naturally turned their anger on Fang Chen. Fang Chen is like a trash can, often having to bear the resentment, unwillingness and sadness they have accumulated throughout their lives.

It was better to take Jianjian there, because there were children nearby, so they stopped talking about it and were very happy to see the children. So Fang Chen took Jianjian there to visit the old man as much as possible.

But they will ask Jianjian an eternal question. Which is better, grandparents or grandparents? They started asking this question when Jianjian could speak, and they still ask it happily until now. However, this was a matter of firmness, and it was entirely up to him to do whatever he wanted. Fang Chen never cared about it and was content with it. The weird thing is, no matter how Jianjian answers, they are very happy.

Why are they so tolerant of Jianjian, but always critical of themselves? Everything they say and do is wrong to them.

The mother-in-law suspected that Fang Chen had given all the family money to her parents' family. I definitely think that Fang Chen favors his mother's family and his husband's family.

On the other hand, her parents' family bluntly accused Fang Chen of thinking about pleasing her husband's family every day and not caring about her own parents, doing whatever she wanted.

In fact, Fang Chen wanted to take care of both sides fairly.

During her normal working days, every time she buys something, she buys the same thing on both sides.

But over time. It was discovered by both parties. Once, my grandma and grandpa visited my grandparents' house. I saw that the things on my grandma’s table were exactly the same as those at my own home. Then grandma noticed that grandma was watching, and quickly explained: "Ah, my daughter bought this for me." That's right! It can be said that "there is no three hundred taels of silver here."

Grandma was filled with anger. He was so angry that he lost his temper at Fang Chen when he came back: "I might as well be a girl for you. I don't have a child like you. I just strangled you to death. You are not a good person by nature! It's unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind." What a righteous thing! Just pretend I didn’t give birth to you!”

Therefore, the trivialities of life cannot be saved by chicken soup. Even chicken soup for the soul with correct values ​​is of no use.

Some people never look at those things and everything goes smoothly, while some people look at them every day and their lives are still messy.
