Because I was looking for a job in Nanjing, I took annual leave from a Beijing company. I had a week to send resumes at home and look for a job.

After listening to my embarrassing story, Jiang Xi said without hesitation, "Give up this job, husband, I am very confident in your education and ability. There are few job opportunities in Nanjing, but it doesn't mean there is no one. You just lack an opportunity. Sometimes you are anxious to eat hot tofu. Maybe if you wait for an extra week or even a month, you will have a good opportunity."

"But my wife, I don't want you to take your children to Nanjing first. I will worry about you, but if I quit now and I am worried that I will lose my job, our mortgage will be cut off?"

The loan is now worth 600,000 yuan, and you have to pay more than 3,000 yuan a month.

Jiang Xi smiled and hugged my shoulders, looking like an older sister, said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid of everything if I have a wife?"

Do you attend all your attendance with 600 yuan per month?

I blinked and asked carefully, "Wife, can you make a thousand yuan a month now?"

"Ah?" Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, as if she had never expected that I would ask such a question. It was like a temporary surprise inspection. Then, she looked at me obscurely, bit her lip, and blinked her beautiful and dazed eyes guiltily, and said, "That... maybe, maybe, it's almost close."

Me, "...".Cough!

Can you expect her to pay back the loan? Every time she is so angry, she is there, don’t be afraid!

I can only express these complaints secretly with my eyes...

As a result, she smiled heartlessly the next second, "Hahaha! Husband, you really don't have to worry so much. There will be difficulties, but I have solutions."

I looked at her in a daze, optimistic and silent.

Jiang Xi rolled her eyes and said, "First of all, I hope you don't quit first and ride a donkey and look for a horse. Isn't there still a week left? Contact your former colleagues to help find it."

I sighed and said, "I have looked for familiar colleagues. Everyone says it's too difficult to find a job like my high-paid one in Nanjing."

"Then look for colleagues and classmates who usually have few contacts," said Jiang Xi, "You have to cast most of the nets now and focus on selection."

Is there a focus on selection? Now there is no chance, so why are you choosing? I thought to myself, my wife is good everywhere, but sometimes she is too optimistic and blindly confident. Of course, she often blindly confident in me and I am not confident in myself. She always says that I must do it, I can do it! I am so worried.

She probably saw my expression and smiled and pinched my face and said, "You really don't have to worry too much. If we think about the worst plan, there is nothing scary. If, I mean, if you can't find a job in Nanjing after a while and you don't want to separate from me and my children, then I'll sell the house in Beijing. The price was reduced last year. Fortunately, we didn't sell it, and it has risen again this year. Now the house price in my family has risen to 80,000 per square meter. Even if you are in a hurry to sell it, it will definitely be sold soon. At that time, you will have four or five million yuan. What are you still worried about the mortgage of 3,000 yuan a month?"

"How can I buy this house if I say it's sold? I have to buy it again after it's sold."

Actually, I was reluctant to sell it and never buy it anymore, and I couldn't bear to spend the house like Yang Xiaojun, just like him, and I always felt that I finally bought a house in my life, but after selling it, we would have nothing left.

Jiang Xi said disapprovingly, "Oh, husband, why are you so rigid in your mind? When we are short of money, what's wrong with selling it? We can pay back the loan, buy as big as the remaining money can be. Don't force everything, whether it's money or house, you must serve our happy life, and we can't become money slaves or house slaves."

Her words hit my mind a lot, and I didn't know whether she was right or wrong.

She seemed to feel that she could not touch me and continued to work hard. "While we own money and houses, we must enjoy it in a state of happiness without stress, so that money and houses can truly play out their meaning. On the contrary, if we are tired of houses and money, it will lose its meaning! I would rather not have a big house and live in the 37.4 square meter house before us and continue to enjoy the stress-free happiness."

I thought about it and it seemed that this is the reason. When we don’t have a single house, we have pressure and there is no way, but now we can completely adjust. As long as we are not greedy, we don’t have to bear such heavy pressure.

My heart began to slowly be moved by her, and the discomfort in my heart also relieved a lot.

Jiang Xi put his arms around my shoulders and continued to persuade me step by step, "I always feel that it is the icing on the cake and not the imperative. It doesn't matter if there is better, and it doesn't matter if there is no. Why do we live our lives with a golden meal?"

I finally smiled, and now I felt that she was saying something that was a true saying.

"Wife, you're right. I'm not sad now. Even if I can't find a job, so what if I'm learning from Yang Xiaojun. When I arrived in Nanjing, I'm good at helping you take care of your children every day!"

Jiang Xi immediately said passionately, "Honey, it's too right for you to think like this. If you really lose your job, help me with housework and take care of your children at home, so I can write with all my heart. Maybe I'll be popular. Now I have to be too busy every day, so it's understandable that I can't become popular..."

So, do you understand yourself now, my wife?

"I really tell you, that's the case. Maybe I can really become popular. By then, I will earn you back 30,000, 50,000 a month, 300,000 a year."

Me, "..." This dream is so beautiful! But... I feel that selling a house to support a family is more reliable.

What I said was, "Okay, my wife, I understand, I will do what you said. If you really can't find a job in Nanjing, you can sell your house and I'll go to Nanjing to find you."

"Oh! Then you won't be upset now, right?"

"I'm not upset? It turns out that there is nothing that cannot be solved with my wife."

"Shapeful!"

"hey-hey!"

"Since you are not upset, do something you should do. Don't waste time. Waste is shameful. Whether it is things or time, you use this afternoon to call everyone who can call, don't take into account the face or not. Perhaps the face you take into account is the deliberate alienation of others' eyes. Therefore, don't live in self-righteousness and say what you should say. Whether others help you is not the issue you should consider, but whether others help you or not, you should accept it with pleasure. Always keep a sentence in your heart, 'Planning is in people, and success is in heaven'. It should be that yours cannot escape, and it is useless to force it is not yours, so your mentality will always be balanced."

I looked at her little face that seemed to be shining and said with a smile, "I've been taught by Teacher Jiang."

She smiled and looked at me with a squinted eye, "I'll give you a reward for Jiang Gong!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

We both laughed enough, and she said again, "Today's task must be completed. I will take you to an event tomorrow."

“Eh? What activity.”

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully, "Why don't you let me guess?"

She laughed, "Because you know you can't guess, but you seem to have never guessed what I asked you to guess, hahaha!"

I, "...", hurt my self-esteem!

I spent the afternoon calling everyone I knew and related to my work. As Jiang Xi said, whether it was familiar or unfamiliar, or whether there were any minor frictions before, I called them all anyway.

But one thing is amazing. I remember a colleague had a little friction with me before. It was a little embarrassed at the time. Later, I stopped the same company and no one contacted me again. This time I took the initiative to call him, completely pretending that the small friction had never happened. I found that he seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about me, as if I called him, as if I was surprised.

And most of the other people's responses to me were said lightly, "If you have the chance, you will find you."

Only he said to me, "I'll ask you for your questions today!"

Then I naturally responded enthusiastically, "Thank you so much!"

He said, "Don't be polite, we are all colleagues!"

The moment I hung up the phone, I felt more and more grateful to Jiang Xi for her teachings. No matter whether this colleague could help me find a job, I found out because of my begging him for help this time. It turned out that he was not angry with me. It turned out that he was actually looking forward to my phone call. It turned out that he was a very good colleague.

After I finished calling in the afternoon, Jiang Xi started to pull me to dinner. She made a sumptuous dinner and said to me with a smile, "Now is the time to eat delicious food. Let's put down all the work things first. The opportunity that should come will come at the right time. If you don't come, you can't even think about it."

"Okay! Wife, I'll listen to you in everything."

That night we ate the stewed tofu made by Jiangxi. Jiangxi said that this is a home-cooked dish in Northeast China, which means "surplus and blessing". Our family of three has a sense of satisfaction of being full of wine and full of food and flat ditches, and a peaceful and happy mood.

The next day, after sending Jiangdong to school, Jiang Xi took me with me and dressed up brightly and attended the anniversary of her alma mater, Beijing Normal University Adult Education Film and Television Professional School.

The school’s campus is borrowed from the site of Lao Furen School. The buildings and scenery inside have a simple and long-standing mystery and a sense of heaviness.

Jiang Xi took me around the back garden of the school. The scenery was very good, and all kinds of flowers and plants were lush and full of vitality. However, none of them looked brighter than Jiang Xi’s smile.

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "I miss it so much. When I was studying here, I didn't feel that it was so beautiful. Now so many years have passed, and I understand that I spent the youthful years here."

I hugged her and felt it with her. In this immersive sequence, it seemed that I could make up for the lack of my shortcomings in her youth.

When it was time, Jiang Xi pulled me to the auditorium.

The auditorium was already full of people. Here, I saw the classmates I had invited when Jiang Xi and I had just received the marriage certificate, except for Yang Lin.

Jin Dan brought Cheng Ke. At the beginning of the conference, Jin Dan and Jiang Xi went to greet the old classmates hand in hand. Cheng Ke and I sat in the corner watching the fun.

Cheng Ke smiled and said to me, "Do you think we both appeared at the school anniversary meeting of our daughter-in-law as family members at the same time? This feeling is amazing."

I smiled and said, "Yes, it's like we're brother-in-law."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

We both laughed.

Cheng Ke sighed, "Oh, I never dreamed that Cheng Ke and you, Jiangdong, could have such a fate, but all of this was because of you who saved my life. If you didn't save me at that time, I would have missed so much happiness!"

I patted Cheng Ke on the shoulder, "We won't mention these things, just look forward, don't look back."

The road to growth of a person is a train that only goes and does not return. Don’t want to change the past, the only thing that can be changed is the future.

When the pain is unbearable, throwing it away is the best choice.

Good and bad things in the past are all past events. Don’t bother with them or nostalgia. Let the years become the years, and regrets are regarded as regrets. You can miss the past, but you cannot stop moving forward. When you feel the loneliest and the most painful, it is also the time to grow the fastest.

I was chatting with Cheng Ke, but what we didn't expect was that at the beginning of the conference, we were surprised to see several stars.

"That's... the famous director xhao? That's the actor xxbo? And that xxming?"

Cheng Ke asked me in surprise.

I was also shocked, "Yes, it's them, why are they here?"

Just when we were both confused, they all went on stage to speak, and then the white-haired teacher next to them looked at them with his eyes as if he was looking at his lifelong achievements.

It turns out that these people used to graduate from this school!

Cheng Ke and I were a little confused.

Cheng Ke said, "No, I have read the information of these celebrities before, but I haven't seen anyone write about this adult education school."

Jiang Xi and Jindan walked to us with a smile.

Jin Dan said, "They used to fail the formal undergraduate program, and then came to this adult school. In fact, it was just like me, haha! After they became famous, they all went to Beijing Film Academy to study. The academic qualifications that were revealed were from the Film Academy. They deleted the experiences they had studied here from their resumes. After all, it is adult education, and it is not glorious to say it out."

Jiang Xi continued her words and said with a smile, "However, it is undeniable that they are all talented people, so gold shines everywhere, and don't look down on adult education. In adult education, some people come to study because they are already old. It is precisely because of this that there may be bosses, civil servants, rich second generations who have not studied well, such as Jindan classmate..."

"Oh, don't mention me," Jin Dan covered his face, "It's embarrassing! Among my high school classmates, I was the only one who failed to get into a regular university."

Jiang Xi continued to smile and said, "For example, one of our seniors in the last class was Jiang xx, the younger brother of a big star. When I was studying for junior college to undergraduate, who would have thought that a boy who sat in the back seat and studied hard every day was actually the director of a harmful food inspection center in Beijing and a national civil servant. As for how they became, that was not something we could care about. Anyway, I mean, don't underestimate adult education. If MBA is a channel for business elites to collect resources, then adult education is a channel for ordinary employees to accumulate resources and learn knowledge by the way. If you don't catch up with the regular college entrance examination, climbing this adult college entrance examination car may not be without surprises. Of course, the most important thing is whether you are a person with heart. If you are willing, opportunities are everywhere!"

"Jiang Xi is right! If I hadn't climbed this adult college entrance examination car, I wouldn't have known Jiang Xi, nor would I know Cheng Ke."
