Today, I have some free time. Sitting alone in the room, I suddenly thought of dealing with the people I met in my life journey.
My life journey is not long, only 37 years, but I am a person who loves memories.
If you think about it carefully, everyone will meet many people in their life. Among these people, parents, brothers, sisters and relatives needless to say, they are inevitable guests in our lives.
When we were children, the people we met were our playmates, friends from our neighbors and fellow villagers.
After going to school, we met many classmates, teachers and people related to them.
After working, we met many work partners and partners of partners.
Later, we met the other half of our lives, and then we met many people related to him, including his family. During this journey of my life, I met many people at one stop like this.
Slowly recalling that some people are just passers-by, while some people are destined to accompany you for a journey, but the length of the journey is different.
There are some people whom you think will never interact with you, but one day they come into your life. Perhaps, each other's company is only a short distance away, but it is enough to make you feel happy and warm.
Yan is such a person in my life journey.
Actually, Yan and I have been in the same unit for thirteen years. But because we are in different departments, we have not had much contact over the years. Every time we meet at work, we give a simple greeting, or just a nod or a smile. However, I have always had an intuition that Yan is an extraordinary person. She looks introverted and shy, but has a unique temperament. Especially when she greets people every time they meet, she always gives people a very sincere feeling, unlike some people who smile unnaturally. However, I have always adhered to the principle of making friends "according to circumstances", so I did not deliberately associate with her. In fact, so does she.
Last year, due to a job rearrangement, we had the opportunity to work in the same group. After several contacts, I got to know Yan to a certain extent, and later experiences proved that Yan was the person in my intuition. Moreover, I also found that our three views are highly consistent.
In addition to the same job and the same three views, we also have similar life situations. Yan and I both live in another city far away from our work, and our children are homeschooled (my children are several years older than hers). We shuttle between home and work every week. The only difference is that Yan’s home is further away from the work than mine. In other words, she has to pass through my city when she goes home. Our deeper relationship is also inseparable from returning home.
The time was last year, at the beginning of a working season. That day was Friday. In the morning, I was buying food in the canteen, and by chance, Yan was there too. During the meal, she asked me how I went back on weekends (last year, my child left me and went home to school). This is what troubles me the most. Since I can't drive, I can only return by car every time. The annoying thing is that my workplace is in a township, and I have to change trains three times when I return. Moreover, there are no fixed bus stops in the township, and sometimes I have to wait for a long time. After listening to my narration, Yan said to me sincerely, "Take my car and let's go together, and Sister Zhao." (Sister Zhao is also a colleague of mine, and her home is in the same city as mine) Really, it's just Such a sentence, but I feel the real sincerity. That afternoon, after work, I hitched a ride with her. However, when I arrived in my city, I discovered that it was actually quite troublesome for her to take Sister Zhao and me. Because you can't park at will on the highway to get off people, she must enter a highway exit, pay the toll, and get off the highway. Then, in order for us to get on the bus, she had to drive a little further and drop me off at a bus stop. Finally, she turned around again, returned to the highway exit, took the card, and got back on the highway.
When I realized that I had brought her so much trouble by giving her a lift, at that moment, I didn’t know what to say. Say "thank you"? How can I express my feelings with just one word "thank you"? My thoughts were seen by Sister Zhao who was traveling the same way. After Yan left, Sister Zhao told me that since Yan learned to drive, she had been taking Yan’s ride home. At first, she felt the same way as me. But Yan is a sincere person, and she does this out of kindness to give others convenience. Sister Zhao said that she was also thinking about how to thank Yan, but so far, she has thought of a suitable way. She can only be grateful in her heart and encourage her at work. Sister Zhao's words are reasonable and reasonable. However, after returning to work, I still found an opportunity to express my feelings and gratitude to Yan. That day, I gave her 20 free-range eggs from her mother-in-law’s chickens. She was very grateful and said to me, "It's really nothing. Not only did I take you, but you also accompanied me along the way." She said that when she drove alone, she always drove very fast, but with us here In the car, she drove much more steadily. I really felt her sincerity.
From then on, I often hitchhiked with her. Three women and one drama. Along the way, we talked about various topics, from work, to family, to all kinds of news and gossip. The more than two hours of driving passed by without even realizing it while we were chatting.
Every time Yan sent us to the bus stop, he would say goodbye to us with a smile, and there was never any resentment or pretentiousness. Sister Zhao said that if there was no traffic jam, it would take more than 20 minutes for Yan to get home. Every time, I pray silently in my heart and wish her a safe journey.
Life is a journey, and we will meet many people during the journey. And some people are destined to be the destined people in your life, and this fate has nothing to do with how early or late you met. I cherish these destined people in my life. I hope that we can accompany each other on the journey of life and go well all the way.
