Chapter 18 Seventeenth Good Memories and Nightmare

I don't know if it's because of the weather, these days, Jie Chen can clearly feel that there is a kind of sadness spreading among the people around him, even the lively and cheerful little brother Jie Chen, when faced with his favorite steamed buns, he will not be afraid of it. He let out a long sigh for no reason. Regarding this phenomenon, Junior Brother Jie Ao gave a very professional explanation, which roughly means that a certain gland in the human body will secrete a certain hormone, and once this hormone is secreted too much, it will make people feel depressed. And when the seasons change, the secretion of this hormone may increase, so naturally more people are depressed.

In fact, what Junior Brother Jie Ao said at that time was much more professional than what Jie Chen described, but those too professional terms, Jie Chen couldn’t remember clearly, but Jie Ao gave an example, saying that he once counted how much Jie Chen would eat. When it comes to steamed buns, in the past, the wooden fish could knock seven times to finish a steamed bun, but recently his speed has been greatly reduced, and it takes about twelve or three times to finish eating. This is a typical sign of a bad mood. . Junior Brother Jie Ao's judgment on Junior Brother Jie Chen, Jie Chen is only skeptical, but Jie Chen knows that Zhang Shizhu, a pilgrim who often comes to the temple, is really not in a good mood recently.

Donor Zhang is a resident of Miao Town. He is about the same age as Jie Chen and Jie Ao. After graduating from university a few years ago, Zhang Don did not stay in the big city, but returned to work in the small town. Zhang benefactor is a little fat, from the outside, it makes people feel very simple and honest.He has a very cheerful personality, and he walks in an excited manner on weekdays, but when he sees familiar people such as Jie Chen and Jie Ao, he just looks like he is smiling with his mouth open. A round face always makes people feel very festive.Donor Zhang has a pretty good temper, sometimes Jie Chi and Jie Chen joked with him, but he didn't get angry at all.

Jie Chen and Donor Zhang are also familiar. Generally speaking, Donor Zhang doesn't have any lofty ambitions. He likes the ordinary and stable life in a small town.Jie Chen appreciates Zhang's benefactor's attitude towards life, because in this world, most people can only live such a small life, if they accept it readily, life will be happy. It's just that recently, for some unknown reason, benefactor Zhang seems to be in a low mood.According to Junior Brother Jie Ao, it seems that benefactor Zhang had a small problem in his work and life recently, although it was not serious, it also affected his mood.

Of course, extroverts are different from introverts when they are in a bad mood. Donor Zhang didn’t lock himself in the room and shed tears. He just started to miss the good old days when he met familiar people. Benefactor Zhang talked about a lot of interesting things about his childhood, which were just trivial things that couldn't be more ordinary, but benefactor Zhang always talked about it with yearning. Benefactor Zhang said that when people grow up, it’s really boring. When they were young, they were so simple, as long as they lived happily, and they didn’t have to think about buying a house or making money. It’s a pity that such years have passed, and they won’t be there anymore. return.

Zhang benefactor's idea of ​​refraining from anger is quite supportive.There is a price to be paid for growing up. We keep drawing imprints of growth on pure white paper with pens. This process is irreversible forever. Even if we find the best eraser, it is impossible to wipe the white paper back. as is. It’s just that I agree with the point of view, but I can’t solve the problem of Zhang’s benefactor. After all, he is not a Harry Potter benefactor. Mee Hung”, let him travel back to his boyhood. The benefactor Zhang’s behavior of complaining this time was quite long-lasting. For a while, as long as the benefactor Zhang saw someone who was a little familiar, he would start talking and talking non-stop. When it comes to Zhang benefactor, he will find a reason to avoid it.Only people who are relatively slow to react like Jie Chen are caught listening every time.

This kind of life lasted for almost a month, and at some point, Zhang benefactor suddenly stopped mentioning these past events.Jie Chen once thought that the price of the house that Zhang benefactor wanted to buy had fallen, or that his investment had made money, so his mood improved and he no longer grieved about the past.But Junior Brother Jie Ao said no, Junior Brother said that the current situation of Master Zhang has not changed, what it was like before, it is still what it is now. The change of Zhang's benefactor made Jie Chen wonder for a long time, but Jie Chen didn't dare to ask, if Zhang's benefactor just forgot about this topic for a while and Jie Chen rashly brought it up, it would arouse his sadness instead.This behavior is not much different from picking up a stone and throwing a hornet's nest.

Once, while chatting with Jie Chen, Donor Zhang suddenly said that some time ago he had a dream, dreaming that he was back in his primary school classroom.Jie Chen asked with a smile, it must be a good dream, right?But benefactor Zhang said no, he said that in his dream he was taking an exam, and the scary thing was that there were many questions on the exam paper, but he couldn't understand any of the questions, and finally woke up almost crying. Jie Chen was amused by Zhang's description, but Zhang said that after he thought about it, the dream was actually quite real. What he feared most in his childhood was the exam, and his teacher liked to wait a few days. Just a little quiz or something.At that time, Donor Zhang was actually not completely happy in his heart, because he had to worry about the exam every day, and his homework was also very heavy.

Jie Chen suddenly found that he had found the real reason why Zhang benefactor no longer recalled the good life and complained about the real life.Because benefactor Zhang suddenly discovered that the beautiful life in his memories was actually not perfect. Quit thinking about anger: We often look forward to the lost time, thinking that it is the best, but if one day the time can be turned back and let us go back to the best moment in our memory, maybe we will find that we are complaining Life is too bitter and life is too difficult, just like us today. In the ups and downs of our days, we have always ignored our happiness like this, and squeezed the happiness aside with complaints, until we couldn't grasp it at all, we didn't think of nostalgia.
