The story of rain boots

When I was a child, when it rained, it was difficult to walk on the dirt roads in the small village. There were puddles and mud everywhere. I wore worn-out cloth shoes, and either water leaked in and my feet were wet, or the shoes were stained all over. Feet of mud. Just stay in the house and don't go out, it's still uncomfortable. After playing all the time, my feet were extremely dirty. Not only did I feel uncomfortable, but I also had to be scolded by my mother. So when I see other people's children wearing rain boots and walking in the rain, I feel very envious. But there are only two pairs of rain boots at home. There are many brothers and sisters, and there is not enough for each person to have one pair. I am the youngest, so I am not needed for important things. So the two pairs of rain boots couldn't even fit on my feet. What to do? After much deliberation, I finally found a way. That is, when my brother and sister were sleeping on a rainy day and no one was going out, I put on my rain boots and went out for a walk. Kicking mud piles, wading in puddles, doing whatever you want, it’s so beautiful in your heart. I don't care if my clothes get wet. If it hadn't been for the urging of my brother and sister several times, I wouldn't have wanted to go into the house to eat. hehe! Finally got a taste of walking in muddy water without getting my feet wet! I have had a deep affection for rain boots ever since.

As I got older, I still had a soft spot for rain boots. Every rainy day, I always like to wear rain boots and go for a walk in the rain. The feeling was so intimate and special. Sometimes, when the weather is sunny, people have already thrown their rain boots aside, but I am reluctant to take them off, so I still wear my rain boots to do this and that. It felt like I was wearing combat boots and could charge into battle at any time. My sister always calls me stupid for irritating me. I don’t have to worry about covering my feet even if I wear rain boots on a hot day.

Later, when I grew up, I was building tile-roofed houses in the small village. I often have to help out on behalf of my family. Every time at this time, I have to do water-related tasks, such as mixing mud, throwing mud, using a trolley to pull water from the river, etc. It doesn't matter if I'm a little tired, just because you can wear water shoes when doing these jobs. Because I always do heavy work, my elders praise me for my strength and ability, but they don’t know that I have a reason.

After joining the workforce, there were fewer opportunities to do physical work, and the floors in the workplace were hardened. There are less opportunities to wear rain boots. Although I also have a pair of rain boots, I haven’t worn them for a long time. They were kept in a cardboard box in the office and I almost forgot about them.

Today, when I took a walk after dinner, it rained. Although it didn’t hit, my shoes and trousers got wet. When I returned to the office, I was embarrassed when my colleague came to work wearing a pair of green rain boots. I accidentally saw it and thought it was very beautiful. Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind, don’t I also have a pair of black rain boots? I quickly took it out and put it on my feet, haha, it feels very comfortable! Just when the school bell rang, I went to class.

When I returned to the office after class, my colleagues made fun of me because I wore leather shoes for walking on rainy days and rain boots for indoor classes. My colleagues laughed happily, but I snickered in my heart: Hehe! How do you know my deep affection for rain boots?
