Anhui needs to take the high-speed train from Hankou Station to Hefei and then transfer to Huangshan North.
I'm used to catching the train early in the morning. It's quite convenient to take the subway one stop to the railway station.
I put away my backpack and sat in the aisle seat, ready to take a nap. I wrote a report late at night the night before, and I was a little sleepy. Actually, I like the window seat, where I can watch the scenery when I am awake and sleep against the window frame without being disturbed.
At this moment, a girl nodded and sat next to me. I saw her dragging a large suitcase and took the initiative to help her put it on the frame above. Then I fell asleep.
I'm still a little dizzy when I get to Hefei Station, because there are only twenty minutes between the two trains. I think I have to hurry.
finally, I caught the high-speed train to Huangshan North in a sweat. The air conditioning in the entrance carriage suddenly made me feel sour. People who often take the high-speed train know that the air conditioning in the carriage is full and there will always be a faint smell of urine unless you take a business car.
My seat is in the middle of a triple table. Fortunately, I have been awake for a while. There is a beautiful woman looking at her mobile phone in the position next to the aisle. I'm a little lucky. I'm most afraid of the kind of big fat man sitting next to him snoring all the way, which makes the original sour and refreshing more cramped and irritable. After sitting down and turning on my mobile phone, I found that it is the best pastime to look down at my mobile phone in order to avoid embarrassment when traveling with strangers these days.
after a while, another girl smiled at me and motioned for me to let her in and sit by the window. I quickly responded with a friendly smile and closed my stomach and chest to make room. After she sat down, she smiled at me very strangely and stared at me again and again. Suddenly I was stupid, because my brain, which has been running at high frequency except sleeping, didn't think of who she was.
So I choked up and asked, Excuse me, have we met before?
She smiled and said to me, "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence? "I'm still in a state of confusion.
"You forget that I just sat next to you and came all the way from Wuhan to Hefei. I didn't recognize you until I saw the bracelet on your hand.". (From now on, there are many advantages to bringing a bracelet.)
"Oh ~ ~, you are the girl carrying that big box." I remembered that I helped her put the suitcase on the train just now. What about your suitcase? "
She said," I put the box in the luggage compartment at the door of the carriage. "
" Oh, did you go to Huangshan, too? . . . . "
So we started chatting with laughter all the way.
The above is a true story, which was not the key point originally, and can be brushed aside, but in order to improve my gossip ability, I deliberately wrote it better.
By the way, I was stupid enough to get out of the station and into the station when I transferred to the train, and I was sweating profusely. This girl has the experience to know how to take the internal transfer corridor, and she didn't catch her breath with so much luggage. It seems terrible to be uneducated.
This girl's appearance is so ordinary that she is not even good-looking (otherwise, how could I not remember). However, her thinking is very clear, and her speech is decent, and she feels like she has read a book.
I talked about a lot of short topics from my parents all the way. She is a native of Wuhan, married to Jingde County, Anhui Province. Her husband has opened a barber shop in the county. Her parents-in-law are locals. She is currently doing beauty care and Wechat business, and she is going to invest in a weight loss project next. There is also a 4-year-old boy. She said that she had regrets about this marriage after marriage, but since she had children, she still had hope for the future.
She talked about many children's topics, such as whether to go to school in the county or go back to Wuhan for education in the future, and who will take care of the children from both parents.
It is mentioned that her husband is an only child, and his parents are conservative, belonging to the kind that protects calves. They don't want them to go to Wuhan for development, so they live a comfortable life in a small county, but she is still somewhat unwilling. She also talked about some careers she wanted to do, such as opening a weight-loss club to help those obese people lose weight and earn money by doing so. Speaking of fat people, I said how could there be so many fat people in their small county? She said she didn't believe it at first. Later, her friend told her that as long as she could start to want to do this business, she would be surrounded by fat people. She told me seriously that it was true. I think this is really a good case of practice. It is not difficult to visualize the realm of achievement as long as you put your heart into it.
I advised her that everyone has the freedom to choose their own way of life, and many things are reluctant to come, and the family still values harmony.
However, I later suggested that she should read more books and told her that learning makes people rich faster than hard work, but she didn't seem to care.
Later, she talked about choice, saying that choice is more important than hard work, and her life today is her choice yesterday. I told her that there will be more choices in the future, but before making these choices, there is a most important choice, that is, to choose what can make you grow up and stick to it. Growth means continuous improvement, including technical improvement, knowledge improvement, and possibly mental development. In short, you have to feel that you are making progress every day, so there is hope for this life.
I often buy books on Amazon or Dangdang. Every time I go to the office downstairs to get the courier, I will see the couriers of SF Express, Yuantong Express and Tiantian distributing the courier in the square in front of the office building. Looking at their hard-working and serious figures, I am always worried about them. I wonder what these couriers can learn from the job of express delivery because they are so busy every day. I know that these couriers get commissions on a piece-by-piece basis, which means that the more things they send, the more they will earn, but so they should have less time available every day. The profession of express delivery seems to have developed rapidly in China. Now it seems that Meituan and a bunch of other companies are starting to do the express delivery business of food and beverage take-out. As long as you place an order online, you can deliver delicious food to your doorstep. I wonder if these couriers, who are so busy themselves, have time to improve themselves and grow up internally, so as to become more valuable?
I remember being like them when I was young. At that time, the reform and opening up didn't take long, most people were still working in state-owned enterprises, and I was no exception. Everyone was very comfortable, as if life was so stagnant that nothing would change until death. Thanks to D, I was laid off later, but I have spent the most precious 11 years of my life. I am surprised that none of my colleagues at that time are still in contact with me now, as if those memories in the years never really happened. Fortunately, I always knew that I was growing, and I knew that I was more valuable than before. Even if I take everything around me now, as long as I am alive, it is a kind of value in itself; I have the confidence and strength to rely on my inner wisdom to create the future I want.
As a Buddhist, you will have a deeper understanding and trust in cause and effect, and you will gradually understand that you can choose the result (goal) you want and accumulate the corresponding cause (condition), then you will know in your heart that you will definitely get that result, as long as you insist, it is only a matter of time. However, most people pursue some external fruit, thinking that what they hold in their hands is real. In fact, smart people will pursue more internal fruits, that is, the fruits of self-growth, because they know that all external values are created by relying on their own internal knowledge and wisdom.
Finally, I left the girl's WeChat. Although I didn't ask her name when I got off the bus, I wanted to write such an article for her so that she could read it or remember it.
