How to describe our young people as good?
We have become accustomed to being called uncles and aunts by small children, and have grown eye wrinkles and dark circles that cannot be saved no matter what eye cream is used.
We've learned to be responsible for our loved ones and even our families, and we know what it's like to sit in the car in a daze after work.
We began to order less oil and less salt when ordering takeaways, sleeping earlier and earlier, and even having large health items such as foot wash basins and massage chairs in the shopping cart.
Looks very much like a serious adult.
But in fact, we know very well in our hearts that we are far less resistant to things than we seem, and we even cry for half a day because of various small things.
"Five points sweet, not one more point."
Miss Huang, a primary school teacher, once won the first prize in the municipal open class competition, and cried for half an hour on a beautiful weekend because the store made her five-point sweet milk tea into seven points sweet.
"I confirmed twice that when I placed my order, it was five points sweet, and when I called, the clerk said that it might be a computer system error."
"At that time, my mentality collapsed, I felt that I was being bullied by the whole world, I started crying on the phone, and the clerks were scared of me."
"After crying for a while, I was embarrassed myself, scolding myself in my heart, how many adults are crying because of this kind of small thing, it is too useless." 」
"I didn't expect to scold and scold myself again."
"There are so many delicious black Brins, but it's not my turn"
Miss Li, a media migrant worker, a blockbuster maker, because the six black Brins bought at great expense are all uncooked, crying a small half pack of paper.
"It's so sour, why is someone else's life a box of chocolates, my life is a bag of black Brin, you never know how sour the next one is." 」
"I obviously picked very seriously for a long time."
"People who want to learn TV throw them into the trash one by one, but the sound is too noisy for their roommates."
The sour taste of that fruit is very sad, from the owner of the fruit shop to the ex-boyfriend who still owes me eight hundred yuan and has not paid it back, hatred surrounds me like a tide. ’
"The main thing is to worry about money."
"The Cold Mapo Tofu and My Tears"
Mr. Wu, an employee of the world's Top 500 enterprises, has just completed the six-month internship period and smoothly turned positive, because he went downstairs late at noon and left the cold mapo tofu in the canteen, squatting in the stairwell and crying until the end of the lunch break.
"When you hurry up and finish the urgent tasks assigned by the leader, he says he doesn't have to be in such a hurry, and then you go downstairs to eat and find that what awaits you is tofu with a layer of cold oil floating on it that is neither spicy nor numb."
"How that word comes, sorrow comes from it."
"Our company doesn't have a place to eat takeout yet, and there is a rest area, but everyone will only bring coffee in."
"Angry, hungry and sad, and feeling inexplicable, my girlfriend said that this was the mood when their daughter came to the great aunt, drink more hot water." 」
"The Apple Martini That I Didn't Drink"
Miss Yang, the mother of a baby, has mastered the advanced skill of changing diapers with one hand within three months, because in the club, she was stomped on by the person next to her three times in a row and cried in public, fortunately the club did not care about tears.
"First of all, don't criticize why I have to go to the club when I am a mother, it was my birthday, and the child showed it to his father for one night."
"The first time I was so old that I was ignored by the bartender, I shouted twice that I wanted a cup of apple martini, and no one paid any attention to me, maybe it was too noisy for him to hear it, or maybe it was because I exuded a strong radiance of the virginity of god." 」
"Then I was stomped on three feet as soon as I entered the dance floor, and I was thinking, how to wash my shoes."
"Have I become pragmatic or vulgar? Anyway, I'm becoming more and more like my mom. ”
The adult world is indeed much better than that of children, TV casually watched, mobile phone casually played, you can buy a lot of strange things, no one will chase after your ass and hit.
But when children are not happy, they can cry anytime and anywhere, adults can't, and even many times they can't even cry, too many emotions are blocked, just like the subway cars in the morning rush hour, chaotically crowded together, smoothly through the dark tunnel, only to reach a specific station to vent for a while.
"Be calm"
Miss Huang was often woken up in the middle of the night by news from the parents' group, where a girl's father was clamoring for the average score of the test.
There was a boy in the class who always bullied his classmates, and she asked the boy's parents several times to talk about it, but they were always rejected.
She would love to move out of her dorm room and rent a house outside, but the house she likes is either too expensive or too far from the school.
The boy was secretly scolding her again during class.
Miss Huang told herself to be calm, not to lose control in front of the students, and not to scold back.
"Look at the opening point"
Miss Li and the designer stayed up late to change the program several times the customer was not satisfied, and the boss also wanted her to help bring the intern at this time.
Later, the customer ran away and asked for a refund of the deposit.
Miss Li told herself to look at the opening point, everything would be done, and to take out the momentum of Qian Songyi to collect the debt.
"To be independent"
Mr. Wu's mother had a small operation some time ago, and he did not dare to take a long vacation during the probation period, so he could only call all his savings to his family.
He had just graduated, and his biggest annoyance not long ago was how to ask his family for money to buy a new computer.
Mr. Wu told him that it was time to be independent and not to let his parents work so hard all the time.
"Be patient"
Miss Yang is in her twenties, the pregnancy is sudden, she likes children, knows that raising children is troublesome, but did not expect it to be so troublesome.
She used to sleep until eleven or twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and she had never slept a full night since she had a child, and she had seen all of them at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, and she had seen them all at one o'clock at two o'clock in the morning and three o'clock at five o'clock in the morning.
When coaxing children, Miss Yang is also coaxing herself, don't cry, be patient.
We young people, in fact, are not fully prepared to face the adult world, not so much fragile as soft.
This is, in fact, a very precious quality.
It is indeed a mature performance to accumulate negative emotions in the heart and slowly digest them, but it is not necessary to do so, life always needs a catharsis, crying for those small things that do not seem worth mentioning, and childishly messing with yourself for a while, it is also good.
Someday we will come out of the awkward stage of the semi-finished adult, but not now.
Cry, and later we will understand how lucky it is to be able to cry half a pack of tissues.
