Chapter 34 frame happiness

I received a call from Aunt Hui, asking when I would be free, and she wanted to send me some frames.Although Aunt Hui is a distant relative, when my parents were alive, she often came to my house and treated me very well. I remember that my first book "Andersen's Fairy Tales" was a birthday present from her on my 12th birthday.Later, we saw each other less and less. The last time we met was when her wife passed away five years ago. After receiving the notice, my wife and I went to her house with a basket of white chrysanthemums and comforted her for a while.She retired the year before last, but she lived a leisurely life.In recent years, we only exchanged phone calls during the Spring Festival to pay New Year greetings. Unexpectedly, during the Spring Festival after the century, she suddenly said that she would come to my house.

Aunt Hui is of course welcome.But she didn't say that she came to pay New Year's greetings, but said that she was giving a frame, which caused us to be suspicious.My wife said that she is an elder, and we should go to her place when it comes to New Year's greetings. When she comes, she doesn't say it's for our New Year's greetings, but she also brings a frame as a gift when she comes. , let's bring some nutritional supplements and go to her house.I called Aunt Hui and told her what my wife said.Aunt Hui said that was not good, because she not only came to our house that day, but also several relatives and friends nearby, and she wanted to send frames, so I had no choice but to obey her.Putting down the phone, it dawned on me that Aunt Hui must have had a lot of money after she retired, and she was in good health to take a job in a company—selling mirror frames.This is not surprising, understandable.

On the appointed day, Aunt Hui came.Although we were mentally prepared, it still surprised us a few times.First of all, she is not like her, but like her daughter who settled down in Wuhan. Although there are obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her cheeks are naturally rosy; Not only does her waist not look fat, but she is actually much slimmer than five years ago; she said she had just dyed her jet-black hair, but it was still lush and her style was not rigid; when asked what car she took, she answered yes I came here by bicycle, and it was said that it was good for fitness and carrying a large bag with frames... I couldn't help laughing and said, "Ah, I really don't know if it's my aunt or my cousin who came here!"

Sitting on the sofa and taking a few sips of the fragrant tea brought by his wife, Aunt Hui opened the bag with great interest and took out some frames for us to choose. She said, "Keep whichever you like!" It can hold 12-inch photos, and the small one can hold four-inch photos; all wooden frames are kept in the original wood color, which is the elegant style that my wife and I like.She couldn't stop smiling and asked, "How is it? How are you? Do you like it?" My wife and I exchanged glances, praised them again and again, and chose more on purpose.Seeing that we really like it, we have picked at least one of almost every size and style. She raised her neck and smiled brightly: "Okay! Okay! I didn't come in vain!" My wife brought out more snacks to entertain her, and I put them in order The nutrition she had prepared was brought up to her, and she said to her: "Aunt Hui, this is just a small thought... As for these frames, you don't have to give a discount, as much as you want..." Aunt Hui's smile suddenly settled down. After a few seconds, she first suppressed her smile and took turns looking into the eyes of my wife and me. Then, she burst out laughing, smashed her fist on my shoulder, and shouted: "You guys! Where are you going? ..."

Misunderstandings are quickly cleared up.It turned out that these frames were all made by Aunt Hui herself. At first, she just wanted to miss her husband, who liked to do joinery in his spare time, leaving behind a box of tools and a lot of wood; later, she felt that making frames was good for the brain. It also strengthens the body; later, she gained great pleasure from it and immersed herself in the realm of beauty; recently, she has a passion in her heart, which is to share her happiness and joyful emotions with relatives and friends as soon as possible ... Aunt Hui sitting in front of us turned out to be a happy and happy life.I used to always feel that in this moment

In this time and space, long-lasting happiness and happy emotions are elusive.Food and clothing are safe, but I always feel that I don’t have enough income, yearning for success creates anxiety, but I have some success but look at the height of this mountain, the anxiety is even deeper; those who work hard always want to seek the highest reward, and those who cannot be listed I am afraid that I will not enjoy my own happiness for a long time. Not only do I not have the urge to share it with others, but I can’t help but feel jealous of the happiness that others get... Aunt Hui bid farewell to us, and went to give frames to other relatives and friends.My wife immediately selected photos to inlay in those frames, and kept holding up the selected photos to ask me if I was okay.But I was still sitting on the sofa chewing and savoring the spiritual nourishment presented to me by Aunt Hui's visit.The longing for happiness should not be boundless.Why did a rich man commit suicide by jumping off a building some time ago?In fact, even if his property shrinks greatly or even goes bankrupt, if he is willing to return to the food and clothing life of ordinary people, he can still be happy in his heart, but his desire can only expand to the boundless depths, and cannot be framed by a simple and healthy mind at all. within the appropriate range of flexibility.Yes, we have to learn to frame happiness, which should be framed by health, self-sufficiency, optimism, and being kind to others.
