The road is far from gold
Bi Shumin
One day, my husband said to me that when I got married before, I never gave you any gifts. Now I'll give you a gold ring.
I said, "The heart is taken." But I don't want goldware.
The gentleman smiled and said you must be reluctant to pay. In fact, it is very cost-effective to buy gold, worn on the hand, it is an ornament, in addition to looking good, its own value is also there. I don't like this style anymore, and I can also style it into a new look. Why don't you like it?
I said, I'm counting a different account. He was interested, let me make it clear. I said, I am a working woman, wearing gold, it is inconvenient to work. As the saying goes, there is no light load on the long road.
The gentleman smiled and said, "What a heavy gold tweezer do you think I'll buy you?" Think beautiful. We could only buy a gold ring, but a few grams.
I said, you listen to me. Every day I crouched down at my desk and wrote without distinction between morning and evening. To type a word on your computer, hit the key at least twice. Even if this ring weighs five grams, the hand rises and falls, and it will cost an extra ten grams of weight in one word. As the days go down, it is not a small number. Suppose I were to write a million-word novel, and this little ring would turn into a ten-ton lump of gold, embellished on the joints of my fingers, what a burden! There are too many things to do, and the road is far from gold.
Sir said, or we buy a gold necklace, and your neck is always not moving when you write.
I said, I don't like the shape of the necklace, it's a kind of chain. I advocate simplicity and freedom, and I feel that the ultimate in beauty is nature. Besides, I was sentenced to cervical hyperplasia by X-ray many years ago, and I really can't bear to add a burden to my heavy lead neck.
The gentleman sighed and said, as a woman, you don't have a gram of gold on your body, are you really not sorry?
I said that I have many regrets, such as the article is not beautifully written, the cooking skills are not perfect, I feel dizzy when I sit in the car, and I can never knit a sweater that fits... But I have no regrets about the gold thing.
Sir said, you are against the trend.
I said, it's not anti-trend, it really doesn't matter. What is Gold? Isn't it a metal on Earth that is neither too little nor too much? Having this metal symbolizes your nobility, without which you are doomed to be lowly? There are also many rare metals on this planet, such as platinum, such as rhodium, such as uranium and radium that can make atomic bombs... Both are much more expensive than gold. We can't put all metal on our bodies, and metal doesn't mean more than its industrial use. If you like it, you wear it, like a country girl in the spring, putting a wild flower on the end of her hair. If you don't have a gram of gold for all kinds of reasons, then there is nothing to be cowardly about, and you can still straighten your waist and live happily.
As a woman, if we have the sky and the ocean, if we have knowledge and career, if we have self-confidence and dignity, if we have the love of our loved ones for us and for us, our lives are complete.
Having too much, no gold!
