An unexpected journey of 20 old hens
That day, my cousin suddenly called, and his voice was a little eager: "Brother, can you find a way to get 20 old hens over there? When I heard this request, I was a little surprised, but thinking of my cousin's usual care for me, I agreed without hesitation: "No problem, brother, don't worry, I'll find a way." ”
When I hung up, I couldn't help but mutter. 20 old hens is not a small number, where to get it? Just when I was worried, the mobile phone "dingdong" prompted the receipt of the transfer. I clicked on it and saw that it was a large sum of money transferred by my cousin, with a postscript that read: "Give you a deposit first, and pay for the rest on delivery." ”
Looking at this unexpected income, my heart moved, since I have the funds available, why not try to sell to a colleague? After all, everyone usually takes good care of me, maybe someone needs it. Thinking of this, I immediately sent a message in the work group: "Dear friends, there are 20 old hens in my hands, please contact me if you need it, the price is preferential!"
Not long after the news was sent, the group became lively. Xiao Zhang bubbled first: "Yo, this is a good thing, my family is just going to have a happy event, how much does it cost?" I quickly replied: "Xiao Zhang, for the sake of colleagues, I will calculate a preferential price for you, how about XX yuan?"
I was about to agree, but Xiao Li also jumped out: "Xiao Zhang, don't swallow it alone, I want a few too, keep a few for me!" Other people in the group also expressed their desire to get a piece of the pie. When I saw this, I was overjoyed, I didn't expect these 20 old hens to be so popular.
After a fierce "rush to buy", the 20 old hens were quickly divided. I hurriedly called my cousin and told him that the situation had changed: "Brother, I got your 20 old hens, but someone has already bought them, I'm really embarrassed." When my cousin heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't say much, just told me to help him get it next time.
After hanging up the phone, I felt a lot lighter. Although I couldn't help my cousin, this unexpected small profit also made me feel good. I was also sincerely happy to see the satisfied smiles of my colleagues. This experience made me understand that sometimes, the little surprises in life are often hidden in those seemingly ordinary daily routines.
A few days later, I overheard a conversation between Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li in the company's pantry.
Xiao Zhang said proudly: "Those 20 old hens are really right, and the old people in the family say that the soup stewed by this chicken is particularly delicious, and relatives and friends are full of praise." ”
Xiao Li responded with some regret: "Alas, I only grabbed a few, next time there is such a good thing, you have to tell me in advance!"
Listening to their conversation, I secretly rejoiced in my heart, and at the same time sighed that the fate between people is really wonderful. If it weren't for my cousin's request, I wouldn't have thought of selling the old hen to a colleague, let alone reaping this unexpected joy and satisfaction.
The days went on like this, plain and fulfilling. Occasionally, I think of the experience of selling old hens, and there is always a warm current in my heart. It made me understand that every little detail in life can be a bridge between us and others, and it is these seemingly insignificant connections that make up our colorful life.
A month later, my cousin called again, and his voice was a little excited: "Brother, do you still have an old hen over there?" I need more this time, and the price is not a problem. I was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Brother, you are in a hurry this time, I just got another batch of old hens, the number is enough, don't worry!"
This time, instead of changing hands to sell to a colleague like last time, I contacted the owner of the chicken farm directly and ordered a sufficient number of old hens. Although the process was much more complicated than last time, looking at my cousin's satisfied smile and generous payment, I felt that everything was worth it.
Through this experience, I have become more deeply aware of the importance of emotional bonds and trust between people. Whether it is family, friendship or friendship between colleagues, we need to operate and maintain it with our hearts. And when we really give, we often reap unexpected rewards and surprises.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have spent several springs and autumns in the company. The old hens faded out of my memory. However, whenever I think back to that experience, I always feel a warm current in my heart. It reminds me to cherish everyone around me and every encounter, because it is these seemingly ordinary experiences that constitute the most precious treasure in my life.
