My best friend Xiao Ai is the most knowledgeable person among the friends I know.

The circle of friends of middle-aged people has become very silent. Except for friends who work in marketing who regularly post advertisements every day, almost everyone has chosen to remain silent. Xiao Ai is an exception.

Every morning when I open my eyes and open the WeChat Moments on my mobile phone, Xiao Ai’s breakfast is already there. It is nutritionally balanced, has just the right color combination, and meets the different needs of a family of three. It is rarely the same in a week.

When I finished washing and had breakfast, I saw that she was already on the road. Her work was 3 kilometers away from home, and she walked to and from get off work every day. A day's life starts with Xiao Ai's beautiful photos full of smiles, sometimes accompanied by a song, sometimes accompanied by an inspirational text. At noon, the meals in the unit canteen are displayed without hesitation. In the evening, she clocked in on her walk home, accompanied by the sunset that day. On weekends, it’s a table of carefully crafted dishes, with the occasional two glasses of red wine. Sometimes, it’s to have dinner with friends and check out all kinds of delicious food.

Xiao Ai, like this, lives in my circle of friends every day.

In fact, I know that her old father has suffered from cerebral infarction for many years and has limited mobility. Her frail mother has always taken care of her. Her son is in the second year of a provincial key high school. It is a critical moment for his studies. Her husband I have been laid off from my job for two years and have been staying at home without a second job. My life is still chaotic. So what? It didn't affect her mood every day at all, and she still lived her life happily.

Once, when we had a dinner date, she said with emotion: "I will also worry, but is worrying useful? Apart from anxiety, it cannot solve the problem. I like to cook for my family. In the busy process of cooking, , I have already settled myself. For me, there is nothing that food cannot solve."

A woman who loves life chooses to reconcile with herself in the world of fireworks.

When people reach middle age, which one is not in dire straits? Some people owe the bank a sum of money every day when they open their eyes, including car and house loans; some people have parents and children who want to take care of them, but they are unable to do anything; some people work hard everywhere to support their families.

There is no way to describe the hardships of life, no one can say it, how many people can empathize with it? Looking around, he saw that he was surrounded by people who needed to be taken care of. There was no one he could rely on except himself.

When I was young, I did not want to give up love and freedom; I also wanted to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring; I also dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword and seeing the prosperity of the world, but time has no control over it. Life is not Andersen, there are not so many fairy tales to squander, poetry and distance are always scenery, love and family are life.

In the confrontation with life again and again, choose to reconcile with the rebellious child in your heart.

Let go of all the rush, take off your travel dust, and let the fireworks in the world smooth out all the hesitation.

What kind of end point is worthy of our wandering journey?

Gu Cheng said: The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to look for light.

Searching and searching is just looking for a sense of solidity and warmth to soothe people's hearts.

Life is short, love and food are the only things that cannot be let down. Hearts and stomachs are both small. Injecting love can lead to happiness, and tasting food can rejuvenate with full blood.

The most healing thing in the world, besides words, is food.

Eat a bowl of human fireworks, drink a few cups of the ups and downs of life, and cross the long stream of human life with the joy of satisfying your stomach and intestines.
