The little salary Fang Wei earned from working could not improve his family's life. He originally wanted to borrow money to start a small business. When he was about to take action, his mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. Although the surgery fee was temporarily enough, a large amount of money would be spent later.

The treatment fee has not yet been paid, and Fang Wei is so worried that he can't sleep or eat well, and his head is full of thoughts about how to get the money.

For this reason, Fang Wei was so anxious that he felt as if he was possessed by a demon. It really corresponded to the two sentences in the "Eternal Words to Awaken the World": "The house is leaking when it rains all night, and the boat is late and encounters the wind."

Fang Wei sighed all day long, and his mood changed greatly, which attracted the attention of a female colleague. This colleague was called Wang Mei, who was two years younger than Fang Wei, about 1.6 meters tall, fair and clean, and quite capable.

Wang Mei is usually quiet. She is always polite when meeting her colleagues. She never argues with others when things happen. She speaks slowly and carefully, and seems a bit childish, like a child who has not experienced much in the world.

Wang Mei is not like other colleagues who like to fight. When she has nothing to do, she stays alone quietly and likes to read some accounting books.

Wang Mei is born with a baby face, and a smile always hangs on her face, giving people a sense of intimacy. She is never defensive when getting along with others, looks at things relatively simply, and is not as sentimental as other female colleagues. This may be related to Wang Mei's

Age related.

Fang Wei treats her as a little sister and gives in to everything. The two of them get along relatively well and get along quite harmoniously. Wang Mei is willing to communicate with Fang Wei and chat in her free time. She has a good impression of Fang Wei.

The two of them often joked together. As time went by, there were always good colleagues who joked with Fang Wei in private, saying that they were a perfect match and a perfect match, which made Fang Wei dumbfounded.

Fang Wei has been worried about the deterioration of his mother's condition. He wrote to his sister, but he has not received a reply. He has been thinking about it all day long and is getting more and more stressed. He sleeps and wakes up at night, gets up before dawn, washes himself, and walks to the road.

Have breakfast at a stall and then walk to work.

The place Fang Wei rented was not too far from the factory, about three miles away. Fang Wei felt heavy and walked slowly, as if he wanted to spread all the resentment accumulated in his heart on the road leading to the factory.

Fang Wei's mood has been getting worse and worse recently. He doesn't ride a bicycle to and from get off work, but walks on foot. He wants strangers to 'accompany' him, so that they don't interfere with his thoughts, so he can calm down and think about how to overcome the current predicament.

There were many people in the office, and colleagues talked loudly. Fang Wei had his own work to do and had no time to think about problems. He originally wanted to go back to his rental place after get off work and smooth out things in his hometown, but as soon as he stepped into the empty space, The deserted room felt desolate and depressing, and my thoughts suddenly froze.

One morning, Fang Wei was walking on the way to work when he heard someone calling his name from behind. When he looked back, Wang Mei was already in front of him.

"I called you several times, but you didn't hear me. You just walked with your head down. What's on your mind?" Wang Mei got off the bicycle and stood in front of Fang Wei and said.

"Sorry, I really didn't hear it." Fang Wei explained.

"I've been observing you for a few days, and I see that you look very worried and don't talk much. What's wrong?" Wang Mei asked.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little tired." Fang Wei said.

"I don't believe it. You're not like this normally. If you have any difficulty, can you tell me?" Wang Mei said.

Fang Wei didn't reply. He looked at the ground and walked slowly. Wang Mei felt that Fang Wei had neglected her and said calmly, "Forget it if you don't tell me. It seems you don't regard me as a friend."

Fang Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "My mother is ill and hospitalized. I feel uncomfortable and am in a bad mood. Please forgive me if my words are inappropriate."

"What disease does your mother have? Is it serious or not? Can I help?" Wang Mei said with a concerned tone.

"Thank you for your kindness. No one can help me with this illness," Fang Wei said.

"The family didn't say how the condition is? Is it serious?" Wang Mei said,

"I didn't say anything in the letter from my family. It's been more than ten days since I wrote to my sister, but I still haven't received a reply. I don't know what's going on, and I'm really worried." Fang Wei said.

"Don't worry, wait and see, you may receive the letter in a few days," Wang Mei said.

Several colleagues stood at the factory gate. When they saw Fang Wei and Wang Mei coming over, they smiled and prepared to joke with Fang Wei. When they saw that his face was not good, they shut up, nodded and left.

People are like this. If something unpleasant happens, it will always show on their faces, and it will also affect other people's emotions. People will obey you unconsciously. Bad emotions are like a plague, they will infect every acquaintance.

Everyone is unhappy together.

A few days later, on a Sunday morning, Fang Wei came back from shopping for groceries. When he was about to get home, he saw Wang Mei standing at his door. He walked over quickly and asked, "Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

"

"If you are not welcome, I will leave immediately." Wang Mei said with a smile.

"What did you say? Welcome to my humble home." Fang Wei opened the door and said.

"I went out to do some errands today and happened to pass by you, so I turned around and took a look." Wang Mei said.

Fang Wei opened the door, let Wang Mei into the room, took the stool, wiped it clean with a towel, and said, "The room is so messy that it makes you laugh. It's your first time here. Don't stand. Sit down and talk."

Wang Mei was sitting on the stool. Fang Wei saw her turning around and looking at the room. He quickly folded the messy bedding on the bed, put the unwashed dishes and chopsticks last night into the pot, and put the dirty clothes on the floor with his feet.

Kicked under the bed.

Fang Wei tidied up the messy things, covered up his embarrassment, and said, "I was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to tidy up the room, which made you laugh."

"You men are all like this. You are so slovenly that no one will laugh at you." Wang Mei said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while about family issues. Wang Mei stood up and said, "I have other things to do and I have to go back quickly, so I won't sit down."

After Wang Mei finished speaking, she took out a bag of things from her bag, put it on the table, turned around and left. Fang Wei hurriedly called to her, "Wait a minute, what did you put on the table?"

Wang Mei said, "One thousand yuan is for your mother's medical treatment. Seeing how depressed you are all day long, I can guess that you have something on your mind and it's hard to tell others. However, I guess it's almost the same. You are my mother."

If you are worried about your illness, you must also be worried about money."

Fang Wei said hurriedly: "No, this is not possible. One thousand yuan is not a small amount. I will find a way. I can't use your money."

Wang Mei said, "This is the money I saved. It's not stolen. The money is clean. What are you afraid of?"

Fang Wei said, "I don't mean anything else. It's not easy for you, and your family is not rich. You gave me the money, what should you do? You should take it back."

Wang Mei said; "You don't know about our family's situation, but it's generally pretty good. My parents both have a salary, and they don't rely on me financially. I send all my monthly salary back. I don't trust the money, mainly because of me."

The rental place is mixed with people, not safe, and I am afraid of being stolen. Besides, I don’t spend money randomly, and there aren’t many places to use it.”

Fang Wei said, "That's not possible. How can I afford to pay back so much money? I still feel guilty about the money I owe you all the time."

Wang Mei said, "Don't be anxious. I'm not in a hurry to use it. You can pay it back when you have the money. That's fine."

After Wang Mei finished speaking, she turned around and walked out the door. Fang Wei hurriedly chased her out and pushed the money into her hand. After pulling for a long time, she refused to take it and even threw her arm away because Fang Wei's hand was too tight.

She shook it off several times but couldn't get it off. Wang Mei took a breath and saw a few people standing not far away, and whispered: "Stop pulling and pulling. There are so many people standing over there, so many people can't see it."

Like words."

Fang Wei turned his head and glanced at them. Several passers-by were looking at them. He was a little embarrassed and hurriedly let go of Wang Mei's arm. Wang Mei took the opportunity to straighten her wrinkled sleeves and left with a blushing face.

Fang Wei looked at Wang Mei's leaving back, feeling indescribable gratitude and shame in his heart. He was a little uneasy and stood for a while until Wang Mei's figure was no longer visible.

Only now did Fang Wei really feel that he, like the young man on the train who had no money to buy a ticket, felt like accepting help from others. Is it sour? Is it sweet? Is it bitter? Is it spicy? He can’t tell. Fang Wei

Her 'taste' seemed to be covered by Wang Mei's compassion.

Fang Wei was trapped in helplessness and entanglement, asking himself: Is he so unbearable? Do I need the sympathy of others? Do I need the pity of others? Do I need the help of others?

Fang Wei only hated himself. He was so incompetent and pitiful. He suddenly felt a lot shorter than others and whether he was worthy of walking in this world.

The little bit of self-confidence that Fang Wei had originally was shattered in an instant, and the remaining bit of aloofness disappeared without a trace like a flood that broke a dike, pouring thousands of miles away.

Money is like a huge python, wrapping around Fang Wei's body, making him unable to move, but he still struggles to survive. Fang Wei knows in his heart that the days without money have never happened.

Fang Wei was like a hungry lion, looking for prey everywhere on the vast prairie. He saw a raging and wide river blocking the way. On the other side of the river, there was a lot of food, but he couldn't cross it.

Can look up to the sky and roar.

In pain and suffering, Fang Wei continued to commute to and from get off work as always, often walking listlessly on the way home, almost unable to move.

At this time, a car parked on the roadside, and the door suddenly opened. Fang Wei, who was unprepared, was startled and hurriedly stepped aside. Just as he was about to get angry, a familiar voice came into his ears; "Wait a minute."

You've been working for a long time, why did you get off work?"

Fang Wei walked to the car. Xiaoli was sitting in the driver's seat. He smiled and waved to him, gesturing to get in the car. Fang Wei felt a little angry when he saw Xiaoli smiling. He got into the car and closed the door.

Okay, he said in a reproachful tone; "You didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone walking on the roadside and suddenly opened the car door. If you hit someone and hurt someone, you would be in trouble."

Xiaoli said; "What's wrong? Who provoked you? Make you so angry."

Fang Wei said, "You suddenly opened the car door and startled me. It was really dangerous just now. If an old man or an old lady came over, they would be knocked down." Fang Wei said.

Xiaoli said with a smile, "I saw you coming in the mirror, so I opened the door. For a grown man, he is so timid, but he still has the nerve to speak out."

"How long have you been back? I haven't even received a phone call or heard from you. Have you finished your work at work? Come to see me when you have time?" Fang Wei said.

Xiaoli heard that there was something in Fang Wei's words and ignored him. She drove the car to an open space and said, "What happened to you today? You have a bitter look on your face and there is a thorn in your words."

Fang Wei heard the anger in Xiaoli's words, came to his senses, and said smoothly, "I encountered a little trouble at work, and I'm not in a good mood."

When Xiaoli saw Fang Wei for the first time, she felt that he was in a bad mental state and was worried. She was a little worried. When she heard that he was in a bad mood and nothing serious happened, she felt relieved and said, "So that's it, things are not going to happen."

Is it big?"

Fang Wei replied, "It's not a big deal, there's no need to make a fuss about it, it's all minor problems that occur normally at work."

After hearing Fang Wei's answer, Xiaoli turned to the topic and said, "Since there is nothing major, let's get down to business. Why did you call me that day?"

Fang Wei thought that his mother was sick and needed money urgently, so he couldn't ask Xiaoli, so he could only say vaguely: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you, when will you come back from the business trip, and what are you busy with?"

Xiaoli thought, Fang Wei seemed to have something to say on the phone, but he couldn't say it now. She felt a little unhappy, but couldn't say it too clearly, so she struggled for a while and said, "That day, I was so anxious on the phone. It seemed like I had something to say. Today

He said it was okay, but he was so startled that I, a monk, was confused."

Fang Wei couldn't answer Xiaoli, so he could only turn his face and look into the distance without saying a word. Xiaoli was a little anxious, pushed Fang Wei hard, and said, "Normally when we encounter difficulties, it's not like today."

Son, what’s wrong with you? Tell me, have you encountered an obstacle that you can’t overcome?”

Xiaoli stared at Fang Wei anxiously, as if asking him to say what he was hiding in his heart. He also felt it, and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "I originally planned to use the rest time to do some small business, and I wanted to invite you.

Help. Now my mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. She was very upset, so I had to put the small business on hold."

Xiaoli complained, "Your mother is sick and hospitalized. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? You kept it a secret. Do you treat me like an outsider?"
