Me and Boss Bear

My hometown is different from Xiamen. Xiamen has four seasons like spring, but my home has four distinct seasons.You can never see snow in Xiamen, but if you are at home in winter, you can see snow.

When I woke up the next morning, it was raining outside.

I love rainy days.But I just like the rainy days in my hometown, not the rainy days in Xiamen.On rainy days in Xiamen, water is everywhere, messy, or it doesn’t rain, or it rains for several days in a row, without any beautiful elements at all.And the most troublesome thing is that when it rains, there will be traffic jams.

The ground in the yard was wet and flooded by a shallow layer of rain.The raindrops slapped the ground ragingly, stirring up countless splashes, which were beautiful and spectacular.It was already approaching June, and the arrival of this rain made the earth feel a little bit cooler.

When I was a child, I often liked to lie quietly on the window sill and watch the rain. I found it very interesting. At that time, I didn’t think about anything in my young mind, how pure it was.Later, when I was a little older, seventeen or eighteen years old, I had my own ideas in my mind, and occasionally I would be lost in the heavy rain.

The mood is completely different now.Standing in front of the door, leaning sideways on the threshold, quietly looking at the rainy world outside, the sky is full of water, crystal clear, as if every drop of rain is a mirror, reflecting countless me.It is also like someone's tears, containing loneliness, loneliness, longing, sadness, grievance, complaint, despair... unscrupulously floating in the sky.

Soon, the rain stopped, and when I went out, even the air became extraordinarily fresh.Walking down the path next to the house is the way to the river.I like the big river behind my house very much, so I have walked this road for 20 years.

This river is embedded in the city, like a giant dragon lying on the ground. Although it does not have the waves of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, I have always loved this river since I was a child.After the summer rain, I always like to run to the river and look at the slowly flowing river, and my mood becomes completely different.Even the taste has changed.

When I saw the river in my hometown, I thought of the sea in Xiamen, and when I thought of the sea in Xiamen, I unconsciously thought of Lao Liu.

I thought I could let go of everything, completely forget about Old Liu, start my new life without hesitation, throw away any thought of him, and never have him in my mind again.But I was wrong. When I woke up early in the morning and found the wet tears on my face and the wet tears on the pillow, I knew I missed him again, and I couldn't forget him.

Sitting on the rock guardrail by the river, lighting a cigarette, quietly watching the slowly flowing river, as if imagining it as a vast sea.The river beat against the embankment, as if it was the waves of the sea...

………………

"Little Lin, why do you like the sea so much?"

"I don't know. I always feel that every time I look at the sea, my heart will be extremely peaceful, as if all the pressure on my body has been thrown away."

"Hehehe, good! Then I will often accompany you to the beach in the future."

………………

"Xiao Lin, look how round and bright the moon is!"

"Yes, it is reflected on the sea, twinkling like countless scales."

"Hey, it's so pretty, just as pretty as you."

………………

"Run slowly, the waves are coming, come back quickly, your clothes are going to be wet!"

"Haha, the sea water is very comfortable! You also take off your shoes and try it!"

"Don't pull me, I don't want it! Ah!..."

………………

"Quickly, sit on my side, come into my arms, the sea breeze is so strong today, you still have to come over and have a look, I really can't help you."

"I really don't know how to appreciate it. It's cloudy today. Look, the sea and the sky are the same color, how beautiful it is!"

"Yeah, beautiful, beautiful!!"

"What's the matter? Don't you like it? You said it so reluctantly..."

"No, I like it very much!"

………………

"Old Liu, look at how beautiful the moon is."

"Hmm! It's really beautiful! It's great to watch the sea with you!"

"Hehe, it's good to have you, being hugged by you like this makes my heart warm!"

"Hey! Come and kiss me!"

"Old Liu, I love you!"

"Hahaha, silly boy, I love you too!"

………………

Suddenly, a drop of tears slid down my face and hit the back of my right hand holding the cigarette crisply. Only then did I realize that a cigarette had been burned out, leaving a long piece of ash. I raised my hand, Gently flick off the ashes and snuff out the cigarette butt.Gently touched the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and looked at the wide river, just like looking at the sea in Xiamen...

Lao Liu, what are you doing?Are you looking for me everywhere?I miss you so much……

When I got home, my parents had already returned and were discussing something in the living room.I walked into the living room, and my dad was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a red passbook in his hand, frowning tightly, with a sad expression on his face.

After my mother separated from my father a few years ago, my father resigned from his position in the company. He spent some money to open a store in a commercial center to start a small wholesale business of children's clothing. .

"Dad, what's the matter?" I sat next to Dad and asked.

Dad saw me coming back, changed his face, smiled at me, and said, "It's nothing, just a little thing."

I watched him keep fiddling with the little passbook in his hand, and thought he must have something he didn't want to say.Dad saw me staring at the passbook and put the passbook in the pocket of my clothes.

"Isn't it the time when the goods change seasons, your father still has so many goods in the store, and the money in his hand can't be turned around for a while." Mom came out of the kitchen, put down the plate in her hand, and said, "It's all from your own hands." I’m looking for it, I’m going to quit my good job and go to learn how to do business like others, do you have the capital?”

Dad frowned when he heard this, and said helplessly, "It's alright, alright, just stop saying a few words."

"Dad, how much is the difference?" I pulled my dad and asked again.

"It's tens of thousands!" Dad was really worried, as if he really couldn't do anything this time, he then sighed and said, "I asked my former friends to borrow money, but all of them have no money now. But yes, there are fewer and fewer friends who are willing to borrow money now..."

When I heard this, I felt sorry for my father. After so many years, it was really not easy for him.In today's society, the competition is so fierce, no one can make money easily, and who is willing to borrow money casually.

I opened my clothes, took out my wallet, took out the bank card in the wallet, took my father's hand, put the bank card into his hand, and said, "I have some money here, you can use it anyway, there are more than 20 yuan , should be enough? The bank card password is my birthday."

Dad was dumbfounded immediately, opened his eyes wide, looked at the bank card in his hand, then at me, and asked in surprise, "Son, where did you get so much money?" Mom was also surprised look at me.

I smiled and said, "When I work there, I won't spend much on my monthly salary, and I save it. Before I came back last time, I got a project fund of [-] yuan."

Both parents laughed, looked at them in surprise, looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to me.My father immediately looked at me with heartache again, and said, "You have to pay for food, rent, water and electricity every month over there, and you should spend a lot of money, so you have to live every day. How cheap is it?! You said you kid, why..."

"Hey, I'm doing well, and I don't save much. You see, I'm not doing well." I interrupted my father and explained to him.Think about the days when I was with Lao Liu, living with him most of the time, eating his food and using his food, I basically didn’t spend any money, so I saved so much money in the end.Thinking of this, I felt very uncomfortable again, and my eyes became melancholy.

"Okay, then Dad will take some money out of it first, and then I will deposit it for you when the funds come into operation!" Dad stretched out his arms to wrap around my shoulders, and said to me with a smile.

Being able to help my father made me feel very happy and felt a sense of accomplishment. How can I ask my father to return the money to me?

"Dad, what are you talking about? It's only natural for me to use my son's money! Why are you being polite to me? Anyway, when you get old, I will still support you. It's not the same!" After finishing speaking , I bared my teeth and smiled innocently at my father.

Dad didn't speak, but just stared at me with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and so did my mother.

Mom and Dad have prepared meals, and I am hungry, so the family has dinner.At the dinner table, my parents kept complaining that I quit such a good job, and I kept laughing while explaining.I can only prevaricate them with an inherent reason, otherwise I can't tell them that I broke up with my boss, Lao Liu, and I was heartbroken, so I ran back, right?

"Then what are you going to do when you come back? What kind of work?"

What my father said really knocked me down.To be honest, I really haven’t thought about what job I will do after I come back. You know, in today’s society, unless you have found a better job, resigning is equivalent to cutting yourself off. Slow suicide.

I was stunned and didn't know how to answer, so I laughed at the two elders, and told them that I would look for a job slowly, which made them both full of helplessness.

In the afternoon, I went out for a walk, bought some clothes for this season, and bought some food to come back. It was a good reward for myself. I tried to fill my brain with fresh things and food, so that I would stop thinking about it. Random thoughts.

The next day, I ate breakfast early, then took the bus to the city to look for a job.To be honest, the real estate industry in Huai’an is underdeveloped. Even the residential area under construction across the river behind my house was built by developers from Fujian.After looking around, I finally found that there are two real estate companies that can enter and are recruiting.I immediately contacted the heads of the two companies with great joy, and then scheduled an interview in the afternoon.

I was relieved immediately, I finally found a job, and now I have an explanation to my parents.But I never thought that I was completely happy for nothing.

In the afternoon, I happily went to two companies to apply for jobs, thinking that I would always be hired by at least one of them.But when I arrived at the two companies, the person in charge of the companies saw that I still had a second degree, so regardless of my achievements and work experience, they directly rejected me and refused to listen to my explanation.

In this way, I was rejected, completely rejected, and there was no room for negotiation.Unexpectedly, after a few years, the competition has become so fierce, and the society has become so cruel.After being rejected, I was also annoyed in every possible way, what kind of broken company, a small company like yours, it would be nice if I could fancy you, but you still rejected me? !You don't even look at what your company is like, you haven't even done a decent big project, the recruitment requirements are so high, you don't even look at work experience and performance, I don't care!

It was too young at the time, and I was very upset and let out a rage.Step by step, moving lead-like steps, on the way home, feeling terrible.Feeling hopeless, the sky suddenly darkened, and even the sun turned black...

Unknowingly, I walked to the lotus park.This is an open free park, relatively small, remembering that I used to play here often, so I slowly wandered in, found a stone bench by the pond and sat down, staring blankly at the fish swimming in the pond.

Suddenly, I found the mobile phone in my pocket. Since I flew out of Xiamen that night, it has been turned off consistently. I only wanted to take it with me when I went out today.Press the power button, the moment the mobile phone signal is connected, the mobile phone beeps wildly!

"Dididididi...didididi...didididi...didididi...didididi..."

In just ten seconds, more than 50 text messages were received.I couldn't help being taken aback, and when I opened it, I was shocked!Some of them were from my colleagues, asking me about my sudden resignation, and the rest were text messages from Lao Liu, as well as missed call notifications from the mobile company, and the missed calls were also from Lao Liu. of.

"Xiao Lin, where are you!? Where did you go?"...

"Xiao Lin, why is your phone turned off? You are so anxious to death, where are you?"...

"Xiao Lin, please come back! I love you, I have nothing with Lu Wei!"...

"Your cell phone keeps turning off, you can't get through the phone, and you don't reply to my text messages. What do you want me to do?! Where can I find you?"

"Little Lin, I know I've made you sad, forgive me, I'll take care of everything, come back!"

........................

I couldn't hold back the sadness in my heart any longer, and the unbelievable tears flowed down with a "wow".

"Old Liu, I miss you so much!..." I twitched and said to myself, pain and sadness swept my whole heart.

I really can't take it anymore, I've been back for so many days, all I think about is him, how can I forget him.Old Liu, please stop torturing me, please, I beg you, I beg you!

I raised my head abruptly, wiped away my tears with my sleeve, opened the battery of the phone, took out the calling card in the phone, stood up abruptly, faced the pond in front of me, and threw the calling card into the pond with a flick of my hand...
