Yesterday, I swiped a video, and after watching it, it made people feel a lot of emotion.
In the video, a netizen met four children while dining in a restaurant.
The four men were about the same age, about eleven or twelve.
After some piecework, the four of them finally scraped together 58 yuan, handed it over to the restaurant owner, and then ordered a small portion of the pot chicken.
While waiting for the food to be served, the children sat around with innocent faces, talking and laughing, and looking happy.
When one of the children turned his head, he saw that there seemed to be a mobile phone shooting at him behind him, so he quickly turned his head and curled his neck, and quietly told several other partners.
The other buddies shrunk their necks one by one like whack-a-mole.
This scene touched the blogger's heart.
So I took it and posted it on the Internet, with the text:
"I really envy this age, I can eat and drink Coke in a restaurant with my good friends."
It was a short video recording life, but I didn't expect it to attract countless netizens to empathize.
There is a netizen who used to run a restaurant.
met five elementary school students who scraped together more than 50 yuan to buy a sauerkraut fish, and netizens added double fish fillets, two cold dishes, and a bottle of super-large coke to them.
"It's good to have a good childhood, and it's good to have friends."
Some netizens said that one weekend, five teenage children pooled 20 yuan and ordered a 99 yuan package.
Afraid that the children would not be able to eat enough, netizens silently gave them a 238 package.
"One day, a child came to my store to buy something, I wiped it off, and the child left happily."
There is also the following comment, which has hit the hearts of many workers:
Seeing this, it seems that I understand what it is to buy osmanthus and carry wine, and it is not like a teenager.
When people reach middle age, they understand that youth is the best time in life.
Even if you walk the road you have walked and look at the scenery you have seen, it is difficult to rediscover that young heart.
It's not like it, juvenile travel.
I also watched such a video last year.
A group of students came to a snack bar and asked the proprietress if they could borrow a table for a birthday cake.
The hostess readily agreed.
Perhaps feeling shy, the boys bought a few skewers of tenderloin with their meagre money, then sat around unpacking and urging the birthday boy to put on his hat.
At this time, the proprietress was quietly observing them.
When she saw that they needed to light candles, she immediately turned on the stove and provided them with a source of fire.
When she saw them singing birthday songs and making wishes together, she ran to turn off the lights and record this pure and beautiful scene.
After making a wish, the proprietress sent a few more skewers of tenderloin.
When the boys cut the cake, they did not forget the proprietress and gave back a big cake.
Before leaving, they carefully cleaned up the table.
These children may not have a lot of money, but this moment is the most precious teenage time.
And this night, the proprietress seems to be hospitable to the teenagers, but in fact, it is her young self who is hospitable.
In this regard, some netizens said:
"They're not teenagers, they're just us."
Because once we were like them:
A group of people came to the restaurant in a big way, and they could eat from 5 pm to early morning when they ordered a few skewers.
We chatted all over the world, blowing in the dark, and finally the hotel owner was about to close before he returned.
At that time, we had dreams, ideals, love, and travel.
Nowadays we drink late at night, and the glasses clink together, and it is the sound of broken dreams.
Youth, like a rushing river, is gone.
There is such a passage in Lu Xun's "Social Drama":
"Really, until now, I really haven't eaten the beans that night - and I don't see the night again."
I didn't understand the meaning of this passage before, but now when I see it again in my thirties, I wake up like a dream.
I remember when I was young, one day during the summer vacation, I made an appointment with a group of young people to go hiking.
There was no preparation before going out, and there was no water.
Halfway up the mountain, I was thirsty, but it was impossible to go home and drink water.
A group of people was very uncomfortable.
Why go home and drink water instead of buying it?
Because of the family conditions at that time, there was no habit of going out to bring money, let alone using money to buy "water", which was absolutely impossible.
In the countryside at that time, water was a ubiquitous thing, and it was necessary to buy it with money, which was simply not enough IQ.
So, we started trying to ask people near the mountainside for water.
The process of begging for water was very short, and after a while we saw a shack in which an old man was lying listening to the radio.
I vaguely remember that the shack was made of stone and grass, and it was very simple, but the old man was very welcoming.
After hearing that we were thirsty, we were offered a pot of tea for free.
The tea is bitter and fragrant, and the entrance extinguishes the summer fire that burns in our mouths and even all over our bodies.
It tastes so good that it quenches its thirst.
Afterwards, we climbed to the top of the mountain with great energy.
This pot of tea has been talked about by a group of us for many years.
So, is that tea really that good?
In fact, tea is just ordinary tea leaves that can't be named, and I don't even know how many bubbles I brewed.
But that feeling will never be forgotten.
Now there are various flavors and prices of tea at home, and the price is more expensive and the packaging is more exquisite, but it no longer has the feeling of that time.
What Lu Xun wanted to express may be what it means.
The social drama that night was not good-looking, and the beans that night were not so delicious.
But beans and drama carry more than just themselves.
What we really miss may not be the old days, but our youth and our beautiful and innocent selves.
What is the most precious stage of a person's life?
I think the answer for most people is youth.
Today, I am a middle-aged man in my thirties and a father of two.
When I picked up my children from school, I passed by the bustling crowd of students, discussing homework from school, interesting things about school, and tomorrow's lessons.
And these scenes will always flash in my mind like a shutter, and I feel that I am still one of them in a parallel world.
When I woke up, I realized that things had long been different from people and time had changed.
There is such a sentence in Li Shangyin's "Jin Se":
"This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time."
That's probably what I mean.
The biggest regret in life is that you can't have youth and feel for youth at the same time.
Looking back at your youth, you know how beautiful and rare it was, but at that time you didn't perceive it at all.
When I was a child, I thought that growing up would solve a lot of problems, so I tried my best to grow up.
But when I grew up, I realized that growing up was the beginning of all problems.
When I was a child, I always liked to draw a watch on my wrist, and when I grew up, I realized that the watch on my wrist would never go, but it took away our best time.
I don't know when it began, our life seems to be pressed the fast-forward button, the place where we desperately wanted to escape before, only to find out when we grow up that it is a place that we can never go back to.
I used to complain that my parents didn't have time to spend with us, but when I entered the society, I found that I was already very tired from being alive.
When you grow up, you will find that if you were not in a hurry at that time, you should be able to understand life in Chinese textbooks.
The leap soil in his hometown called his childhood best friend a master, and the phrase "master" was so rusty.
When I first learned it, I thought, "If it were me, I wouldn't."
But now that I've grown up, I understand that relationships between people can change.
Although the years enrich your experience and increase your savings, we are also constantly struggling to survive in the new crowd.
When we were children, we only knew that "Lisao" had written Qu Yuan's ambitions and talents, but now we know that the road is long, and it is not easy for me to go up and down.
At that time, we all believed that young people were not afraid of the long years, and there was still glory on the other side.
But now I know that when I was young, Ling Yunzhi was once the first-class in the world.
After falling in love, I read "Hooligans",
I read and understood "Fan Jinzhongju" for the entrance examination,
talked about marriage and understood "Peacock Flying Southeast",
When looking for a job, read "Kong Yiji"...
It turns out that what is written in the book is the real way of the world.
In fact, when we were teenagers, we shot ourselves years later.
At that time, I thought I was just firing an empty gun, but now I realize that the bullet of that year had already hit our eyebrows.
It's like the chopsticks brothers sing:
"Life is like a merciless knife that changes the way we look."
In this way, we cultivated step by step into "quiet adults".
In the face of difficulties, no longer panic, stay calm;
Achieve results, do not be arrogant or discouraged, and deal with it with a normal heart.
In the hard work, I became stronger little by little.
When I woke up from the dream, I understood deeply and clearly:
Our youth is over.
Life is a road of no return.
A true warrior, may you still love life after seeing through the essence of life.
Share.
