August 15th Mid-Autumn Festival is a beautiful day for family reunion, perhaps to rush to this beautiful day, my grandson Xiao Huangdou fell to the ground. Now half a year later, my little soybeans are getting cuteer and cuter. The lover became a full-time nanny, and every day he was happy to be busy, teasing his grandson all the time. Because he and his son do not live together, and because of work reasons, sometimes they can't see their grandchildren for a long time, sometimes the lover connects through video, the grandchildren "chat freely", and when the lover is on the side, when the grandson who only makes an "ah" sound is called grandpa, he suddenly feels that he is really old. In fact, I have been a grandfather for more than ten years, my granddaughter is in the fifth grade this year, even the little grandson is about to go to elementary school, when they called grandpa, they did not feel that they were so old, but after becoming a grandfather, they suddenly felt that they were old.
But stop in front of the mirror, find that you are indeed no longer young, a bright forehead and the top of the head, sometimes let the lover help to take a picture of the back of his most disgusted half-moon circle type, really infinite emotion, the years have unconsciously stolen our faces and youth, the spirit of the years are gone, can't help but sigh that time is like an arrow, the years are flying. After all these years, where has time gone? Look at the old classmates in the WeChat group who joined the "reunion in thirty years", some of them are full of vicissitudes, and they actually "the old bird fell on the crow" and sighed, how he is so old. Looking back, my brothers and sisters have long been married and are working hard to live the life they want. The days pass in the mountains and rivers, year after year. Can't help but look back at those distant years, for their own ideals, for a better life, those childhood partners have long gone their own way, are working tirelessly in their respective posts, and write a brilliant life with their own talents.
Can't help but call out to my childhood friend: Remember the time when we went to school together in the morning, and on the way out of school, we went around the east of the village to the west of the village to steal green apples on the dam in the west of the village? Remember the happy moment when we lay on the top bunk and talked about our dreams together? Remember when we imitated the promise of sharing blessings and sharing difficulties in tv dramas? If we don't pay attention, we go from childish teenagers to busy middle age. Today, when relatives gather and friends get together, it is inevitable to reminisce about the past, and we always can't believe how to suddenly reach middle age. Day by day year passed like this, everything seemed to be just yesterday, always felt like a child who didn't grow up, but the years have already left traces on our faces, just like people say that there are three shakes in life, one swing grows up, one shakes old, and then a shake is gone.
When people reach middle age, they always feel that time passes quickly, three years and five years do not feel that long, often forget that they have passed, and often have the illusion that they are still young. However, I think that although I was not a handsome cool man, I was also a proper handsome guy. Once the teenagers are now middle-aged and dressed, we will also sigh, where has the time gone? Walk through unforgettable childhood, walk through innocent youth, walk through vibrant youth. Along the way, we are pursuing, growing, looking forward, struggling, feeling, thanking... Looking back on the past, sighing time, the changes of the years, changing the face, seeing the wet eyes, and no longer finding the original teenager ... To paraphrase a lyric: "I am not (still) the teenager I was before, I have (not) changed a little, time is only a test, and the faith planted in my heart has not diminished in the slightest." May time not grow old and we not disperse.
