Annual Memory | one phone call, two words of encouragement, three cakes, what "unexpected" did you meet this year?

There are still 2 days until the official end of 2021.

In the past year, life may not have been all calm. From the epidemic to social current affairs, from industry changes to personal choices, from emotional states to family relationships... We found that in everyone's plan, there are always some "accidents" that come first.

In 2021, at a moment you can't predict, those "accidents" full of surprises, sadness, and hope have also become the most important memories of many people.

If you can answer the phone again

"If I had known that Grandpa would have left so suddenly, I would not have hung up the phone so quickly that day..."

For Wang Qing (pseudonym), who is still a college student, she still seems to be unable to understand why her grandfather, who usually looks tough and always tells herself to eat more and wear more clothes on the phone, will die unexpectedly one day in 2021 without warning.

"When I received the news that my grandfather had suddenly left, I was stunned for a long time and did not come back. Obviously, two days ago, he was still on the phone as usual, talking about the words that I had heard many times: Did you eat? Wear more and come back early for the holidays. Wang Qing said.

After going to college, Wang Qing's talk time with her grandfather became shorter and shorter. Grandpa's last phone call, also ended with his own hurried sentence "I'm a little busy now, I'll tell you later", which became Wang Qing's biggest regret this year, but at the same time, it also taught her to accompany her family never to wait for later.

Three cakes on the same day

"The most unexpected thing this year should be that I received three cakes on the same day."

This year is the third year that Hui Hui (pseudonym) has participated in the graduate school, and even if she has already worked, she can't let go of the idea of trying again, but the double pressure of work and graduate school makes her very anxious.

"I didn't choose to tell my family about this year's graduate school, I was afraid that others would disappoint and I would be disappointed." My birthday is on the day of the graduate school, but I don't plan to pass it, and my friends and family are not around. Hui Hui said.

So on December 26, when Hui Hui came home from the examination room and received three cake takeaways in a row, she was very surprised, because she liked cakes, and friends and family invariably ordered birthday cakes for her.

Hui Hui received three cakes.

"Looking at the encouragement written on the cake, I know that the three years of examination are not long or short, but I will not give up, because the friends and family around me are the most solid backing."

Accidental "accidents" with inevitable hope

"The baby was diagnosed with a tracheoesophageal fistula when he was about two days old, and he heard the doctor say that if the disease is not operated on in time, it will be life-threatening, and there are risks during the operation, which was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for us at that time."

Xiao Chen (pseudonym), 27 years old, became a father for the first time. Greeting the arrival of new life, he was full of anticipation and joy. However, shortly after the birth of his son every day, he was diagnosed with a tracheoesophageal fistula, and when the doctor told him about the situation, Xiao Chen had never heard of this disease, and only remembered the phrase "life is in danger".

Xiao Chen, who was originally immersed in the joy of the child's birth, was caught off guard by the baby's sudden illness. Xiao Chen really felt the mood of being a father, and just wanted to try his best to make the baby suffer less. So Xiao Chen quickly collected the medical expenses, and he gave his hope to the doctor.

After several hours of surgery, the doctor came out and said that the moment the operation was successful, Xiao Chen was relieved.

"From the birth of the baby to the sudden diagnosis to recovery, I have hardly slept well, but watching the baby become healthy day by day, I feel that many things are worth it." Xiao Chen said that if you can't control the unexpected things happening, bravely facing it may bring hope.

Sticking to yourself may have an unexpected gain

"Stick to yourself and don't care about other people's eyes. At a certain stage, if you take a brave step, you may have an unexpected gain..."

Yi Yi (pseudonym), who works in a bank, has always been a slow-hot person. In the case of countless times of ineffective marriage urging by her family and still persevering, Yi Yi finally found that in the matter of urging marriage, it was useless to reason with her parents.

27 years old is actually not an embarrassing age, but in the concept of parents, it is nothing more than hoping that you will find happiness soon. And what Yiyi can't accept is the parents' fluttering words: "Don't be too picky, the conditions are almost enough" "Almost 30 people, now it is difficult to find it without marrying".

So Yiyi did not follow the requirements of her parents, but insisted on her ideas and went with the flow. Just in December of this year, Yiyi met her "accident" and began her own love.

"The right person may suddenly meet at the right time, always keep the best version of yourself, stick to your choices may wait until that unexpected surprise." 」
