On a quiet summer afternoon, the sun shone on the small courtyard of Ah Xing's house, and golden spots of light jumped on the bluestone slabs. In the courtyard, an ancient plane tree stretches its dense foliage, bringing a touch of coolness to this small world.
Ah Xing sat in a rocking chair under the plane tree, holding a book about gardening in his hand, and was reading intently. Suddenly, he heard a sound of footsteps, looked up, and saw his sister-in-law Xiaohong walking in lightly.
"Brother Xing, what are you busy with?" asked Xiaohong with a smile, her voice crisp and pleasant, like a summer breeze.
Ah Xing put down the books in his hand and replied with a smile: "I'm not busy with anything, I'm just reading some gardening books." Why are you here?"
Xiaohong walked up to Ah Xing and sat in another rocking chair, she gently shook the chair and said, "I'm here to talk to you." You know, I've been having some trouble lately. ”
Ah Xing was slightly stunned, and then asked with concern: "Oh, what bothers you so much?"
Xiaohong sighed and said, "It's about work and life." I feel like I'm always on the go for success and perfection, but whenever I stop, I find that I'm not happy. I didn't know what I really wanted, and I didn't know how to find peace of mind. ”
Ah Xing was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Actually, we are all the same. In this fast-paced society, we are always surrounded by all kinds of information and expectations, and it is easy to lose ourselves. However, I would like to say that we should not only pursue external success and perfection, but also focus on our inner feelings and needs. ”
Xiaohong nodded, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, "Then what should I do?" ”
Ah Xing smiled and said, "You can try to slow down and give yourself some time and space to think and feel. Don't always be swayed by the outside world, learn to listen to your inner voice. At the same time, you must also learn to let go of some unnecessary burdens and expectations, and make your life easier and freer. ”
Xiaohong was thoughtful after hearing this, she nodded lightly, and then said, "Brother Xing, your words make me feel very warm. Thank you for listening to me and for giving me such good advice. ”
Ah Xing shook his head and said, "No thanks, we are family." Moreover, I believe that you yourself have the ability to solve the problem, it just takes some time and courage. ”
The two continued to chat, from work to life, from dreams to reality. In this process, Ah Xing not only gave Xiaohong comfort and advice, but also made her feel the warmth and support of her family.
Time passed imperceptibly, and as the sun gradually set in the west, Little Red stood up and prepared to leave. She looked back at Ah Xing, her eyes full of gratitude and respect: "Brother Ah Xing, thank you for your companionship and enlightenment today. I will think carefully about your words and try to find my own way of life. ”
Ah Xing smiled and nodded, and said, "I'm sure you can do it." No matter when and where, remember to maintain a calm and optimistic mind, believe in yourself and believe in the future. ”
After Xiaohong left, Ah Xing sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the gradually darkening sky and fell into deep thought. He recalled the conversation with Xiaohong, and a warm current welled up in his heart. He realized that in this noisy world, we all need to learn to listen to our inner voice, let go of unnecessary burdens and expectations, and pay attention to our inner feelings and needs. Only then can we find our own way of life and live a truly happy life.
In the courtyard of this summer noon, a conversation and revelation about the inner world took place. It makes us understand that while pursuing external success and perfection, we should pay more attention to our inner feelings and needs, and find our own lifestyle and happiness.
