The ancients said: Standing at thirty, not confused at forty, knowing the destiny at fifty, being obedient at sixty, and following your heart at seventy, not exceeding the rules. Thirty is a special age and a watershed in the life stage. Before the age of thirty, we are all children, and after the age of thirty, we are all adults, regardless of whether you are ready or not.
On the 13th of last month, I suddenly received a call from my father, who has been working in other places all year round. I usually talk to my mother on a regular phone call every month, and rarely talk to my father on a phone call, and an ominous premonition surges in my heart. Sure enough, the phone said that my mother was hospitalized due to severe vomiting caused by diabetes , and her condition did not improve for three consecutive days.
I said that if I really can't do it, I transferred to the city hospital. My dad said he didn't know which hospital is suitable. This problem is indeed beyond the scope for an elderly person in his 60s who can't even play with a smartphone. I thought for more than ten seconds and said: Then you take good care of your mother first, and I will come back tomorrow to find out the situation.
hung up the phone. I was already busy at work and immediately asked my leader for leave to go home. The next day, I took the earliest plane from , Nanning to Wuhan at 6 o'clock. After getting off the plane, I hurried to the hospital. After learning about the situation, I immediately decided to transfer to the hospital to the city central hospital. The next step is to go through the discharge procedures, take a taxi to the city central hospital, take my mother to do various examinations, and go through the hospitalization procedures. I didn’t have time to take a break until I pushed my mother to the emergency room.
I got up at 4 a.m. to take the plane. After dealing with all the things, my tense nerves didn't relax a little until 7 p.m. I stayed in the hospital for 3 days until my mother's condition stabilized and I rushed back to Nanning, where I worked. It took a few more days to make up for the lost work. , physically and mentally exhausted, but there is nowhere to complain, because I know that this is the responsibility of a person who is approaching thirty years old.
Group sister is an older colleague in our department. She is very good at taking care of us like her elder sister. At the beginning of the month, she, who had always been optimistic and positive, suddenly became worried all day long. Out of concern, I asked her if she had any worries. Later I found out that she received a call from her brother in the evening saying that her father had suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. She also said that her brother never made a phone call before.
As the group sister suddenly couldn't control herself and started crying. I was at a loss and could only comfort me and said that everything would be fine. After a while, the group sister's emotions slowly calmed down. said something I still remember: I don't know if you found out, what you are most afraid of now is to receive calls from your family. I didn't answer directly, but I deeply agreed.
30 years old is the time when we are full of energy. We can't stand the intrigues in small counties, nor do we want to be mediocre in our hometown small counties for the rest of our lives. We hope to go to big cities to pursue our own stars and seas. We are busy working hard for our careers, and we may only have time to go home and reunite with our parents throughout the year.
At the same time, when we were in our 30s, our parents gradually grew older, and health problems began to gradually become prominent. Many things that our parents cannot handle may require our children to deal with. As a rural-born family, my parents are representatives of late marriage and late childbirth, and this feeling is particularly profound. Work and parents' care have become a long-term balance issue.
After graduation, I left my hometown to work in a big city. For many years, I have maintained the habit of talking to my family once a month. Every time we call, our parents can never understand why we are very busy every time.
In addition to me taking the initiative to make calls, there is another type of call that makes people "fear" every time I receive: that is, the call from my parents who take the initiative to make them. According to my years of experience working outside, in addition to the one or two years of working, we are concerned about whether we are adapted to work, and in addition to the New Year calls, other calls that come in need of us to deal with. When everything goes well, parents usually don’t call us because they have their lives. As I grow older, a truth has been verified countless times: after the age of thirty, I am most afraid of my family making calls.
Each of us is a person in society. People in society will have various relationships, parental relationships, husband-wife relationships, and colleague relationships. These relationships form a complicated emotional network that binds us. We need to handle all kinds of relationships properly, play every role well, and ensure that we are not abandoned by society. There is a very cruel but real saying on the Internet: As an ordinary person, it is not easy for us to live well.
song "I Come to the World" says: I wanted to shine brightly when I came to the world, but I knew that the world looked just for a few taels of silver; I came to the world and experienced all the vicissitudes of life, but I was persuaded to break the sunset without intention. Return to heaven; I came to the world for a while and was once reckless, but things in the world were impermanent and hard to get what I wanted; I came to the world for a while and suffered from the coldness of the world, and looked back on the past and left melancholy.
In the thirty years old, we have to bear responsibilities from all aspects of our family and society in an instant, and everyone is carrying the burden forward. We do not seek to shine, but we only seek to live up to our youth, be ashamed of our hearts and move forward steadily.
