Do men forty still have to toss?

"Thirty and standing, forty not confused" this is Confucius's summary of his life. For the post-80s generation, they have long passed the age of establishment, the distance between reality and ideals may not have changed much, and the dream in their minds is still so far away. When people reach middle age, what else do you expect? After forty years of confusion, there is still a little bit of unwillingness left, how much time is worth letting you continue to toss?

Xiao Han, who used to work in a public institution, lived nine to five every morning, although it was dull and boring, but also had a stable income. Three years ago, despite his family's objections, he quit his job and started his own business. Since then, he has been busy day and night, and in just three years, he has become a "greasy uncle" in the eyes of others, and he has a little more city atmosphere.

With the connections of the original unit, Xiao Han's business is also getting better and better every year. Today, there are more than 10 of them. In my eyes, he has a successful career, a happy family, and can be regarded as a successful person, but recently he has a new idea. Saying that there is still a dream to be completed, why should a forty-year-old man toss so hard?

We had dinner at a tavern, and after three rounds of drinking, he revealed to me the little secret he had buried in his heart. It was when he was in college that he chased a girl in his class. The girl's family is a tea house, and the daily crowds are very lively. He often used the guise of drinking tea to date semi-publicly in front of the girl's parents.

One day, the two men were on a corner of the tea house and were spotted by the girl's father. The girl told her father the truth, and he did not expect it to cause a mockery. The girl's family is of a prominent position, like a fairy in the sky, and he is like a cowboy on the ground. The world never believed in fairy tales, and the girl broke up the two of them like her father with a "you don't deserve it".

Since then, he has secretly vowed that one day he will open a tea house so that all lovers in the world can stay with each other. Hearing this, I "poofed" a laugh. I thought to myself, is this also a dream? He must have been drunk! Seeing the look of disdain on my face, he was even more energetic. "Do you know how I survived all these years? I don't deserve it, and I've become a scar in my heart..."

I helped him hit a car and sent him to the door of the community. Looking at his fading figure, I thought to myself: "Once you drink too much wine, the old past of sesame seeds is still taken out to say, is it not shameful?" Having said that, why shouldn't I? That dream in my mind is still so far away, will the man forty continue to toss? ”

Early the next morning, I received a text message from Xiao Han. Sprinkled with hundreds of words, the content probably means that he was really not drunk yesterday, and that story is also true, and I hope I can keep it a secret for him. In the days that followed, he was ready to disband the company, and if given the chance he would return to work in the same unit he left three years earlier. Finally, he hoped I wouldn't ask him out for a drink in the future.

After reading the text message, instead of replying to him, I removed him from my friends.
