Goodbye, 202 1

Time can easily throw people away. Life is losing, choosing and owning every year.

Swallows have gone, and there is a time to come again; Willow withered, there is a time to green again; The peach blossom has withered, but it has blossomed again. But, smart, tell me, why are our days gone forever? Someone stole them: who is that? Where is it hidden? They escaped by themselves. Where are they now?

Do you remember the text in middle school? Zhu Ziqing's prose is in a hurry. At that time, I was the representative of Chinese class in my class, and I was often called up to take the lead in reciting texts. I even remember reciting this text. As a teenager, I stood in front of a desk full of sunshine, wearing two croissants, which were catchy and rhythmic. However, at that time, I was still a teenager who didn't know the taste of sorrow and insisted on worrying about assigning new words. It was a teenager upstairs listening to the rain and singing, red. I just feel like I've been chasing time. When I was a child, the watch drawn on my wrist with a ballpoint pen did not move, but unconsciously took away our best time.

The solstice winter has passed, so I sit quietly in the depths of time, waiting for the wind to bring spring. The weather in Fuzhou has gradually cooled down these days. I heard that wintersweet in Yongtai is blooming all over the mountain, and the shore is waiting for the wax to disperse. The smell of plums should be the smell of spring. The fragments of life pieced together a past year of 202 1, leaving only the last page on the calendar. It's time to say goodbye Farewell to Fuzhou and 202 1.

At the beginning of this year, I struggled for a year and finally decided to retire early and come to Fuzhou to find Fanfan's father. This decision made me hesitate for half a year, and it was not as easy as I thought. I joined the work at the age of 20, and I clearly remember the day when I went to report it in the summer of 1988. A group of young people in their twenties are laughing and laughing in the corridor of the unit, high-spirited, quiet, plain and old-fashioned At that time, the new church was fatter than it is now, and more than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye. The scene is like yesterday, I love my job, he gave me the capital to settle down, gave me a platform to contact the society, and gave me confidence and a sense of value. I am not perfect, but I am sincere and not excellent, but I work hard and my father doesn't approve of my early retirement. What he is considering is whether I am too bored because I am young. I thought the world was perfect.

In February, I submitted an application for early retirement to the company, asked for a month's home leave, spent the Spring Festival at home, found a pet consignment company, and moved to Fuzhou with my two cats. My two furry dolls are six and four. After Fanfan was admitted to the university, the two joined together seamlessly, replacing Fanfan's position. A few years ago, they were all people in my family who couldn't talk, and Fanfan's father often held them. Who is not a drag bottle? I told him viciously that if I don't like cats, I don't like me. Fortunately, he just said that he could not abandon them. Who says his father sometimes loves cats more than I do? Why does he love cats? Feng Zikai said: "When I was young, I was old, troubled times or peace, and the cat accompanied me to watch the fleeting time." With cats, there is a lot of life in Fuzhou apartment, and my life has been smoothly switched to another channel. I'm not worried about whether I can get up on time or whether there will be new tasks that I can't handle. After waking up naturally every day, I make a pot of green tea in the early morning sunshine, play a favorite piano music, clean the room, fiddle with flowers and plants, turn over a random book, scribble a few Chinese characters, and occasionally write a paragraph of my own life.

My sister, who just turned 50 this year, was laid off by the company all over the world. After getting a compensation, she pressed the pause button when she was busy. We suddenly turned on all kinds of chat modes and dug up old photos we hadn't seen for decades, from our childhood to our children's childhood. It turns out that we have been in a hurry for so many years, and there are so many interesting and unforgettable things on the way to growth, without a careful memory.

In May this year, my retirement procedures were officially approved, and 33 years of work ended perfectly. Chen Wechat, the old man in the personnel department of the unit, sent me a photo of my retirement certificate. I watched it through the screen for a long time, and the spring breeze in March came, and my heart blossomed. Time is chasing the truth, dear colleagues, goodbye.

This year, I spent a long summer in Fuzhou for the first time. I have experienced the persistent high temperature, dazzling sunshine and thick tree shadows that I have never seen in Lanzhou. Once in a while, get up the courage to walk outside, and I will definitely hide under the huge banyan tree. The city is full of swaying green and colorful flowers. The air is always full of hot and humid moisture. For the second time, various fruits appeared, such as mango, longan, litchi and grapefruit. Christine's father said with a smile, I finally walked out of the place 200 meters away from home.

July filariasis, T.A., mulberry autumn September, the summer heat passed, and the most beautiful season in Fuzhou came. The streets are still full of red and green unknown flowers, one after another, becoming a winding picture scroll. There is a faint fragrance in the air. We went to Jinji Mountain, Yantai Mountain, West Lake Park, Gushan Guling and all the places where birds and flowers are singing. Later, we bought them.

This year, Christine, who was far away in the United States, left the campus and officially worked. 16 graduated from university, studied abroad, practiced and worked. This is the fastest-growing five years. Without the protection of his parents' wings, he learned to wash and cook, learn to think socially, learn to solve problems independently, survive the most lonely and helpless epidemic period alone, and raise two lovely cats to take good care of him. In this short period, don't give up easily and be eager for success. Do not escape from reality and love life. He finally grew up in our happy smile. I hope you will continue to run and always believe that the stars will not give anyone on the road any return.

On the National Day of this year, Christine returned to Lanzhou, and just returned to Fuzhou, an epidemic broke out. The city I care about most is sick. In the closed month, I accompanied my family and friends more than 2,000 kilometers away from them, caring for them, cheering for them and praying for their safety. Looking forward to the early lifting of the ban in that city, I miss him very much.

Finally, I returned to Lanzhou and the familiar city in early February of this year. On the way back to the city from the airport, my hometown was magnificent and desolate. I ate a clean bowl of white, red and green cows, met my friends who missed me, watched them drink and chat in the desert barbecue restaurant where I had been thinking for a long time, and went to the neighbor's house to gossip. Then, on the day of my father's 86th birthday, suddenly, Fan's father sent me a WeChat, and he had been informed.

I don't know what expression to give 65438+February this month. In the dead of night, you know that tomorrow's life has begun, but you never know what will happen tomorrow. Now that the dust has settled, I want to go to the next intersection on a sunny morning. I wanted to stay in Lanzhou until the end of the month, so I temporarily changed my plan and returned to Fuzhou in advance.

At this moment, I am sitting in a coffee shop on the street of Wu Si Road. After a brief panic, Van Pa's transfer procedure went on in an orderly way. My life is still calm, the breeze is slow, the sunshine is just right, and the banyan trees on the street are mottled on the road. Time will not stay. I seem to see that 2022 is coming, and fate has arranged that I may bid farewell to this newly familiar city, and people outside the window are in a hurry. Maybe it's because I worked hard for many distant things and didn't have time to stop, but I forgot that the happiness of life is just the warmth of dim lights and the blandness of daily necessities. I often go to the coffee shop on the corner, which attracts me not only the mellow coffee, but also the rare quiet time. In the mottled light and shadow, you suddenly understand that happiness is actually in your heart. Listen to sad songs less when you are in a bad mood, and find food when you are hungry. As long as it is not beyond your ability, buy what you want. If you are lonely, find someone who is willing to watch the starry sky with you. Even if life gives you all kinds of obstacles, there is no need to exaggerate your difficulties with sitcoms.

The 86-year-old father is still tall and straight, Christine's father is still working hard, and his best friend who lost his loved ones is slowly coming out of grief. A few good friends who are still struggling in the workplace are fine, and Brother Hao seems to have added white hair. Sister Wang said that Brother Qu was in good spirits after his illness, and everything went smoothly, as if he had gained weight again. This year, we have new real friends in Fuzhou. I said they should not forget me, and I will be back soon. This year, several girls in the family have reached marriageable age and have no boyfriends, which makes people a little anxious, but I also accept the children's point of view. A generation has a generation's life, so letting nature take its course is the best choice. At the time of writing this article, Fan Fan has gone to a new company, and a man moved his family from Santa Barbara, Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay Area with his cat. I also heard that Fanfan's brother will get married next year after a break, and I am very happy.

This year, dull and bumpy, this year, the people who love me and the people I love are healthy, safe and happy, and this year is still the best year.

202 1, goodbye. 202 1, never seen again.

202 1. 12. 1, the last day of this year.

On the last day of this year, we will leave Fuzhou and return to the familiar Lanzhou, where we will bid farewell to the old year with our family, and then Christine will go to a new post. My brother in Beijing brought us an unexpected surprise, saying that my niece was pregnant. This is the first child of the fourth generation in our family. I don't know how clear my father's mood should be This is what he has been looking forward to.

Whoever waits will start. May everyone go the farthest way in 2022, meet the people they love most, and pave the way for the happiest New Year. In 2022, may you hold on to the sand at your fingertips and cherish the people around you, may time slow down, may the old friends be together, may the people you miss be safe all your life, may you not be lonely when you are alone, and may Gao Xingliang be a mountain. In 2022, may everything be as you wish, and come on together.
