At the age of eighteen, Xiao Li had just finished the college entrance examination and was at the peak of his life knowledge. Then I went to a strange city to go to college alone. He is interested in everything around him and thinks that anything is possible in life. On the first night of living in the dormitory, I went out to eat midnight snack and visit the campus with my new roommate. It was a tireless era, and everyone always used running and jumping to express their joy. It was also this year that Xiao Li met a girl. Next to the library, near the mirror lake, the wind blew away her bangs, and her watery eyes seemed to be inhabited by an elf.

When he was a sophomore, Xiao Li's favorite thing to do was to participate in club activities, form a band, rehearse plays, and find an outlet for hormone flooding. I never thought that school could be so interesting. Most importantly, the girl with big eyes is also in the club.

Young guys always like to perform all kinds of exciting performances in front of the girls they like, such as sprinting to the basket when playing ball, bullying the little classmates around them and jumping over the railing in front of the road, just like a male peacock trying to show off his male charm, which girls all see.

As the days passed, the boys' dormitory was filled with the killing sound of various computer games. They sweated profusely and found unprecedented glory in the virtual world. The joy of skipping classes is more exciting than a normal holiday. At the end of the year, Xiao Li said, "Can a university be called a university without a few disciplines?" Brothers smiled and agreed!

"Senior, in which building do freshmen report?"

"Come with me."

……

Xiao Li is already a veteran of the school. At the beginning of this year, the class teacher sent him to lead the freshmen and be a life counselor. He looked at the immature face behind him, much like himself.

The biggest illusion that campus gives people is that they always think that youth can stay and graduation is far away. Once they reach the third year of high school, they will be caught off guard. I'm going to practice soon. Xiao Li has been wandering around for half a year, and then there are graduation exams and thesis defense. Without the supervision of parents and high school class teachers in universities, you will be at a loss when you test what you usually learn. Xiao Li patched things together and sharpened his gun at the last minute. He breathed a sigh of relief and regained his confidence in the past.

At the graduation party, the girl with big eyes pulled Xiao Li aside and said that she would go abroad for further study. Xiao Li was full of pride and said that she would have sex in society in the future. The brothers in the class met and wept bitterly, and finally sang Zhang Zhenyue's Goodbye loudly together!

"... I will firmly remember your face, I will cherish your thoughts, and these days will never be erased in my heart ..."

Go home or stay in the big city? Xiao Li chose the latter. He thinks that if a person struggles upwards, he should carry his clothes on his back and return to China. Some money saved at school is enough to pay the rent for several months. He hurried to the interview every day and found that the graduate students in the street robbed a lot. The undergraduate diploma was barely a standard and was worthless at all. But in any case, he entered a modest private enterprise. Xiao Li starts his life at two o'clock every day, and occasionally invites some old classmates out for a drink in the evening. Everyone is talking about their own anecdotes in the workplace, and they are glad that they are not left behind.

"Young people in their twenties should work hard. As long as they work hard, the world belongs to you. " The boss will say this to Xiao Li every morning meeting. In order to achieve the company's performance, all positions have marketing tasks. In addition to finishing his own work, Xiao Li has to run around the customers. At first, I was a little uncomfortable. In the past, everyone was easy to talk to at school, but everyone in society had it. Xiao Li finds it difficult to communicate effectively with normal language logic, and customers always have all kinds of strange requirements. Last week, he found a customer to sign the bill and said it was a good deal. The customer insisted that Xiao Li send him another barrel of oil. He paid for it himself, and once he counted the commission and didn't make any money at all, he was considered to have completed the task.

After work, I found that the boss is really not as good as the teacher. I used to think that the teacher had done something wrong, so we could argue openly. Xiao Li will have a sense of justice after his classmates give in. And the boss, some things clearly forgot to decorate, but also accused you of why not do it, is it out of your mind! At first, he was very angry and chose to argue openly with his boss. As a result, he has been wearing shoes for half a year. The eldest brother in the company said to him, "You are still too young!" "

Once, the manager pulled a single order for Xiao Li to dock. When he checked the information of the other party, he found that the product model provided by the other party did not match the raw materials needed by the project department. He truthfully reported to the manager, who said, "These two parts can be used in common and will not affect the operation of the equipment ..." And strongly suggested that Xiao Li should not affect the progress of the task. Who knows that two months later, there was something wrong with the equipment, and the downstream merchants demanded a return, so the company lost millions. When the boss learned about it, he flew into a rage and demanded a thorough investigation. Xiao Li was scolded as a manager. He looked at the manager next to him, hoping to help him explain, because the situation had been reported to him at that time, but the manager was silent. In this way, Xiao Li was deducted from the performance bonus for half a year.

At the age of 26, Xiao Li's weight increased to 170 kg. One day, the elevator in the apartment broke down and he had to climb the stairs. In fact, the floor is not high. The apartment is on the sixth floor, but after climbing it, he gasped 10 minutes.

Inadvertently opened the photos of college days, completely different. He doesn't think it can go on like this. So I made up my mind to run to lose weight. For the next month, Xiao Li skipped dinner every day and went running in the playground. Sure enough, she lost 20 Jin. But one day on the way to work, Xiao Li fainted in the subway. He lay on the ground for 10 minutes, and an old lady came to help him up. Xiao Li suddenly felt his nose sour and he was homesick. After calling his mother for two hours in the evening, he decided to quit his job and go back to his hometown. Although he didn't return home with clothes, he comforted himself that "gold can always shine everywhere."

After returning to his hometown, with several years of working experience in big cities, he found people through various relationships at home, which enabled him to successfully enter a local platform enterprise with government background. Although the salary is not high, the consumption in small cities is low, and with some savings before, life is not bad. The two old people in the family are also very happy to see their son back. It's just that I'm a junior and not married. Parents say all day, "You get married early, we will have grandchildren early, and we can help you take care of your children while we are in good health, otherwise it will be even harder for you when we are old!" Xiao Li wanted to refute that "a big man has no wife, and now his career is still in its infancy ..." But he looked up and found that his father had a lot of white hair on his head. Since then, the two old people have asked the seven aunts and eight aunts to arrange various blind dates.

At the age of thirty, Xiao Li got married, and his wife was the daughter of a colleague in my aunt's factory. They fell in love for half a year. The girl is introverted and filial, and the old couple especially like her.

On the wedding day, relatives and friends were present. It is said that the wedding is a private temple fair, and everyone has made up a reason for carnival from the plain life. All the procedures are so vivid and nothing new. The same pattern knocks on the door to marry the bride, and the same pattern newcomers enter the venue. The host speaks nonstandard Mandarin and organizes two newcomers to play the same apple-eating game. Even if the audience watches the game a thousand times, they will burst into laughter at the moment when the apple is taken off and the bride and groom smack. ...

Xiao Li is slowly maturing. In the past three years, he has prepared some small gifts to thank the leaders for their cultivation. It's polite to treat people. Thanks to his hard work, Xiao Li became the manager of their department, and his income increased. However, it is still difficult to have a balance every month. Half of the salary should be removed from the mortgage, and it will take more than 20 years to pay off the loan.

Children have all kinds of expenses, starting with diapers and milk powder. He found that the price of imported milk powder really caught up with the price of white powder, and the tuition fee of kindergarten was even higher than that of his own university. The child grew up day by day and became more and more naughty. One day, he wanted to teach him a lesson, but his grandparents rushed out to stop him.

"The teacher said that children can't be beaten."

"That's, that's what you wrote in the book. You should reason with the child when he makes a mistake ..."

Xiao Li is very strange When I was a child, I was naughty. My father kicked me up and no one came out to say a few words.

I am forty years old. I didn't know what the seven-year itch was before. Now that ten years have passed, Xiao Li finds that this word is wrong. It should be called the seven-year itch Husband and wife live like boiled water, and there is no gender difference. Since having children, it seems that the wife's energy is focused on the children. Of course, he didn't feel anything wrong, just felt that he had become a dispensable air person. In the first two years of marriage, the young couple will go shopping arm in arm and plan a trip once a year. His wife occasionally throws a charm to make him feel that life is still a little interesting. Later, I found that the other person had changed and became moody, and I could never satisfy her. Later, the two men didn't even fight, and the conversation every day was almost no more than five sentences:

"It's time for children to pay tuition."

"The light in the living room is broken. Go find someone to change it. "

"I will go to the property to get the courier when I come back."

"In the evening, my son and I will go to my parents. There are leftovers in the refrigerator. You can heat it yourself. "

"Oh."

……

I don't know when it started, but Xiao Li has developed a habit. Every day when he comes home from work, he will sit in the car when he gets to the parking lot. He will smoke a cigarette and brush the news with his mobile phone. One day in the car, he saw an article "How to avoid becoming a greasy middle-aged man". He saw his sparse hairline in the rearview mirror, touched his belly overflowing from his belt and sighed. He got out of the car and walked into the elevator with a thermos cup, thinking, when did this happen?

Most people die before they are 30, and then they just repeat the same day. Yes, it has been 20 years since the same day. Fifty knows the destiny! What is fate? Xiao Li has never been involved, and now he is called Lao Li.

My father died two years ago, and my mother has been in poor health recently. Lao Li will go to the hospital to see her every two days. My mother has Alzheimer's disease. She doesn't remember that this gray-haired man is her son. Lao Li was sad from the bottom of his heart. He thought that he would soon be a child without parents. He suddenly thought of his son who was studying in college and wanted to call him to ask how he was doing recently, but as soon as the phone was connected, he became impatient: "Dad, what's the matter?" It's okay. I'll hang up first. I'm in class ... DuDu ... "He clearly heard the sound of typing over there.

At night, the corridor of the hospital was empty. Lao Li didn't want to go home and wanted to spend more time with his mother. The old man fell asleep after taking the medicine, so he lay quietly in bed. ...

That night, Lao Li had a dream. He dreamed that when he was eighteen, he came to that big city and walked into the campus alone. He is interested in everything around him and thinks that everything in life is possible. He expressed his joy by running and jumping! He also saw a girl ... beside the library, by the mirror lake, the wind blew away her bangs, and her watery eyes seemed to be inhabited by an elf!
