My name is Zhang Dayong, and I am a native of the countryside. That year, I fell in love with the little flower of the neighboring village, she was so smart and smart, and her smile could be sweet to people's hearts. Our two families hit it off, and the marriage was decided. Unexpectedly, because of the bride price of 400,000 yuan, my marriage almost failed.
At that time, my family had just rebuilt a new house, and I was strapped for money. But Xiaohua's family insisted on a bride price of 400,000 yuan, and said that this was the rule of the village. My father and mother scraped together for me, owed a lot of debts, and finally got the bride price. I looked at the bag of money and had mixed feelings.
Just when we were about to do a happy event, Xiaohua suddenly proposed to withdraw from the marriage. The reason is that her younger brother, who is working outside, suddenly came back, saying that he had found a girlfriend in the city, and they asked to buy a house in the city. Her father and mother put the idea on our bride price, and wanted to use the money to buy a house for her brother.
I was in a hurry, what is the matter? I looked for Xiaohua to theorize, but she lowered her head and didn't say a word. I understand that she is still looking forward to her family. In a fit of rage, I agreed to withdraw from the marriage.
In the days after I got married, I felt like I had lost my soul. My father and mother also sighed, feeling that they couldn't raise their heads in the village. But the days had to go on, so I gritted my teeth and put my mind on work.
A year later, I opened a farm in the village, and the business was booming. At this time, I heard that Xiaohua had a falling out with her brother, because the girlfriend in the city took her brother's money and ran away. Xiaohua's family became a joke in the village because of this.
One day, Xiaohua suddenly found me and said with teary eyes: "Dayong, I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?" I looked at her, and I didn't feel it anymore.
"Little flower, let the past pass. I'm doing well now, and you have to live well. I said lightly.
She was stunned, she didn't expect me to answer like that. I turned to leave, but I felt a sense of relief.
Back at the farm, I looked at the busy workers and secretly rejoiced in my heart: the original divorce allowed me to meet a better life. And Xiaohua has also become an unforgettable guest in my life.
Since then, I have been running my farm wholeheartedly, and my life is getting better and better. And Xiaohua, with the support of her family, also started a new life. We each embarked on different paths, and that past has become an eternal memory in our hearts.
The days are like flowing water, flowing silently. Business on the farm is booming, and I'm starting to think about my future plans. That day, Uncle Li from the village came to me and said mysteriously: "Dayong, I have a distant relative who has opened a supermarket chain in the city, and I want to find a reliable person to help take care of it." I think you're a good fit, how about it, do you want to go out and break in? ”
I hesitated. To be honest, I already have feelings for the farm, but deep down, I am full of yearning for life in the city. I decided to ask my mom and dad for advice.
Dad smoked a dry cigarette, was silent for a long time, and said, "Son, your wings are hard, fly when you should fly." Just, don't forget our village, don't forget your roots. ”
I nodded, and I had a decision in my mind.
Just as I was about to go to the city, Xiaohua suddenly appeared in front of me. She looked much more mature than before, and there was a hint of firmness in her eyes: "Dayong, I heard that you are going to the city to develop, I ...... I wish you all the best. ”
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Little Flower." You also have to take care of yourself. ”
She handed me a package and said, "This is an insole made by my own hands, you can bring it, it's hard work." ”
I took the insoles and felt a sense of her heart. At this moment, I seem to see who we used to be, those good times.
When I came to the city, I worked hard to learn the operation and management of the supermarket, and with my diligence and wisdom, I quickly won the trust of the boss. Soon after, I became the manager of this supermarket.
One day, I met a familiar figure in the supermarket - Xiaohua. She was busy in front of the shelves in her overalls. I walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Xiaohua, why are you here?" ”
She turned her head, saw me, and smiled: "Dayong, I learned to make pastries with my brother, and now I work in a pastry shop in the city. It's such a coincidence that you're here too. ”
We found a place to sit down and talked about how we were doing. I found that Xiaohua has changed and has become more independent and confident. And I, too, have become more mature in the grinding of the city.
When parting, Xiaohua said: "Dayong, thank you for letting go at the beginning, allowing me to learn to grow." Now I am hard, but I feel very fulfilling. ”
I looked at her departing back, and my heart was filled with emotion. Perhaps, this is life, always in the constant gains and losses, let us learn to grow.
Time flies, time flies. Xiaohua and I struggled in our respective cities, and each other became the most precious memories in each other's hearts. And those pain and tears have become the most precious wealth in our lives.
Life in the city is fast-paced and stressful, and I spend my days running between the supermarket and my home. Whenever there is a dead of night, I think of the farm in the village, of my father, and of Xiaohua. Those memories are like the warm sun on a winter night, warm and distant.
The supermarket business is getting better and better, and the owner is going to open a branch on the other side of the city, and he puts me in charge. I accepted the challenge, but I was a little apprehensive. That area was a bustling part of the city, the competition was fierce, and I had to give it my all.
Just as I was about to move to the new store, Xiaohua found me, her eyes were full of worry: "Dayong, I heard that you are going to take charge of the new store, the business there is under a lot of pressure, you must take care of yourself." ”
I smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Xiaohua, I'm from the countryside, haven't suffered anything?" ”
She handed me a thermos box, which contained pastries made by her: "This is a little bit of my heart, you take it to the new store, and when you are tired, you can eat a little to replenish your strength." ”
I took the insulated box and felt her care and warmth. At this moment, I suddenly realized that no matter how our respective lives changed, Xiaohua was always the most special existence in my heart.
The preparation of the new store was extremely busy, and I was busy until late almost every day. One day, I was arranging goods in the store when I suddenly saw Xiaohua walk in. She held an invitation card in her hand and a smile of joy on her face.
"Dayong, my brother is getting married, and he asked me to invite you to the wedding." She handed me the invitation, her eyes full of anticipation.
I took the invitation with mixed feelings. The family that once had a lot of trouble because of the bride price issue has finally ushered in a new happy event.
On the day of the wedding, I went. Xiaohua and her brother received me warmly, and her father and mother were very polite to me. At the wedding, I saw Xiaohua's busy figure, she smiled so brightly and beautifully.
After the wedding, I found Xiaohua, who was sitting in the corner resting.
"Xiaohua, congratulations to your brother, and congratulations to your family." I say it sincerely.
She looked at me, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes: "Dayong, thank you." If it weren't for that incident, I wouldn't have understood that life always has to look forward. ”
We looked at each other and laughed, and those past entanglements seemed to disappear in this laughter.
Time passed quietly in the busyness, and my new store business was gradually on the right track. And Xiaohua has also found her place in the pastry shop, her pastry skills are getting better and better, and she even has her own loyal customers.
Our lives are like two parallel lines, each extending forward, but never intersecting again. But I know that those memories of the past, those mutual care and blessings, will become the eternal warmth of our hearts.
As the days passed, Xiaohua and I were busy in the city, occasionally meeting on the street, smiling and saying hello to each other. Although our lives no longer intersect, our hearts are still connected. Whenever I am tired, I always think of her, and when I think of those warm memories, my heart is full of strength.
Business at the new store is getting better and better, and I'm starting to plan more new projects. I want to build the supermarket into a comprehensive shopping mall integrating shopping, leisure and catering, so that people can find a little relaxation and comfort in their busy lives. The idea was approved by my boss and I started a new round of preparations.
And Xiaohua also showed her talent in the pastry shop. The pastries she makes are not only delicious, but also full of creativity, attracting more and more customers. She even began to experiment with making various holiday specials, which were loved by customers. Her pastry shop also began to expand gradually, and even opened several branches.
One day, I passed by the pastry shop run by Xiaohua and saw a long queue in front of the shop. I couldn't help but walk in and see Xiaohua busily making all kinds of pastries. When she saw me, she smiled in surprise: "Dayong, why are you here?" Try my new osmanthus cake and see how it tastes. ”
I picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite, and the sweet taste immediately spread in my mouth. I couldn't help but admire: "Xiaohua, your craftsmanship is really getting better and better." The taste of this osmanthus cake is like the osmanthus in our village, which makes people nostalgic. ”
Xiaohua listened, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes: "Yes, I often think about the days in the village and the time we used to spend together. Although my life is hectic now, I still cherish those memories. ”
We talked for a long time until nightfall. When parting, Xiaohua handed me a beautiful gift box, filled with pastries made by herself: "This is my heart, I hope you can feel a trace of sweetness when you are busy." ”
I took the gift box and my heart was filled with gratitude. I know that no matter how our lives change, we will always cherish those good memories of the past.
Time flies, and our lives are all moving steadily forward on their own tracks. The shopping mall I was in charge of finally opened, and business is booming, becoming a new landmark in the city. And Xiaohua's pastry shop has also become bigger and bigger, and has become a well-known brand in the city.
We all find our own value and happiness in busyness, and although life is full of challenges, we all firmly believe that as long as we are grateful and cherish the moment, life will always give us the best rewards.
