Leaves on the way to growth
I can feel the deep pain in Little Leaf's heart

The SUN WAS SHINING YESTERDAY, AND I finally had a rest after working overtime for a month. So I rode a broken bicycle and greedily took pictures of the familiar scenery in the city with my eyes -- regardless of the burning of my hands and face. Fortunately, the cool beauty always brought me pleasant enjoyment.
When I came back home, I encountered a traffic jam on Jinbilvlu Road. Even the bike lane was difficult to pass. Although there were still beautiful women in the eyes, after all, I still felt choked. So, when the road was cleared with great difficulty, I went on a stampede, leaving my companions far behind. Tired, stopped at the side of the road to wait for a partner, did not expect to suddenly hear someone call my name, voice clear and firm. Looking back, a graceful girl Qiao behind me with a full-face smile looked at me. I was stunned for a moment, and then all the memories of her flashed into my mind: I had met her on the university campus three years ago, but at that time she was a timid girl who had just graduated from junior high school and moved from her hometown to Kunming.
"Little leaf! I said her name off the cuff, and I got it right. "Oh, you remember me... What a surprise to meet you here!" I can see that the girl in front of me is no longer the timid little sister three years ago. Her face is sunny and her eyes are full of confidence. After a short conversation, I learned that she is now working in a pharmaceutical company, and her life is still relatively satisfactory. Because she had made appointments with friends, we just gave each other's phone numbers and then parted ways.
My companion was waiting for me in surprise not far away. After catching up with him, I could not restrain my excitement and told him about the whole process of my acquaintance with Xiaoye.
Three years ago, I was in the middle of a story about the joys and joys of dancing in shackles. Whenever my girlfriend came to my campus, we would go to the famous street near the campus to eat snacks. On a weekend in late autumn, the clouds at that time were scattered with golden ginkgo leaves. After my girlfriend accompanied me to the bookstore, we came to the snack bar together. I stuffed a fragrant steamed stuffed bun in my mouth and then eagerly opened the new "Reader" to browse the catalog. At this time, the side of the girlfriend pulled my sleeve, I looked up at her, and she signaled me to look ahead, I looked at the front confused, originally, the store has a new waiter. I thought my girlfriend was driving one of those "Look, girl!" "Joke, so scraped her nose to continue to see my book, girlfriend or pull my sleeve to let me see, then I noticed that the new waiter is not me, but the book in my hands! Her expression was so absorbed that it was as if her eyes were tied by an invisible thread stretching from the Reader.
I ALL SEE her ALONG WHILE SHE JUST REACTION COME OVER, THE FACE SUDDENLY RED: "ELDER BROTHER, YOU LIKE TO READ THIS MAGAZINE VERY MUCH?" ", I nodded, and she suddenly smiled, as if to find a bosom friend: "I also particularly like to see! I saw it twice when I was in junior high school back home..." Maybe because of the book, I suddenly felt very close to her. "Did you just graduate from junior high school this year?" I asked her, somewhat surprised. She turned to the inside of the shop looked, did not see the boss, so very readily said to me: "Yes, I graduated from junior high school this year, the family did not let me study, so I ran out to work. If you stay at home, you'll be married soon! ' I was surprised at how chipper she was, considering we hadn't known each other for ten minutes.
My girlfriend did not ridicule me as a "little sex maniac" before but looked at her like a big sister. I knew my girlfriend, and she, like me, was struck by the timid look in her eyes. That's the look a rabbit gets when he's scared.
I wanted to say something to her, but seeing her constantly looking in and worried, I suppressed my desire to continue talking -- she had to get to work, or her boss would be upset. "Nice to meet you, brother! My name is Little Leaf, I go to work!" Then she turned and walked briskly into the back room. In that way, my life out of thin air in a breeze floating, do not know where tomorrow will fall to the small leaf, more than a little sister.
As my girlfriend and I finished our order and were leaving, we both thought we'd give the magazine we were holding to the girl, and I thought it would do more good for her. The girlfriend took a pen and paper out of her bag. "What for? I asked her. "Leave a number for this little sister. I want to call her again later." I smiled and left the phone numbers of my girlfriend and me on the paper, carefully tucked the paper in the magazine, and gave the book to Xiaoye when she came out. We were rather embarrassed by her string of thanks.
After that, Xiaoye would call my girlfriend and me when he was free. More often, THE girl FRIEND BECAUSE THE ROAD far CAN'T see her, I then a person chat with small leaf, all over the world, chat very open. With the in-depth understanding of this little girl, I more and more in the psychological secretly admire this little girl's self-improvement and independence.
After arriving in Kunming with a small amount of money, she did many jobs in a few short months. Because of her young age, she was often asked to do some dirty work. She did not slack off or complain, and usually worked in silence. I pictured her carrying a bucket twice her weight, and a faint pain passed through my heart -- she was a child. What is more hateful is that because she is relatively handsome, there are often some rude bad guys who want to bully her. When she MEETS SOMEONE WHO wants to BULLY HER, POOR LITTLE YE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE PLACE AND FIND a NEW JOB IN THE FLOOD OF people again. "I hate people who want to bully me," she said. "But I have no way to teach them a lesson. I have to leave. Brother, I am just like a small leaf, there is no way to resist the wind blowing me from the tree, there is no way to control the direction and place of their falling, the cold wind will blow me to where I do not know, I can only drift with the wind......"
Say these words, I can feel the small leaves in the heart of the kind of pain, but she did not cry, clear eyes inside the kind of not surrender to the strength of life. She also told me that after arriving in Kunming, her biggest wish is to study computers well and find a decent job in the future. As a student from a poor family, there was not much I could do to help her, so I had to find some basic computer knowledge books for her and give her my original "Reader" magazine. I wanted her to do well, so I kept encouraging her. I knew, though we had not known each other long, that my words would be of use to her, for the little girl had suffered so much cold, that a mere trace of warmth would let her see the whole spring.
Soon, the final exam arrived, busy with the review for the examination, and I did not have a good chat with Xiaoye. I remember after the first test, Xiaoye stopped me at the door of our dormitory and slipped me a letter. It was all about thanking me and my girlfriend and thanking God. I read after straight want to cry -- I almost did not do anything for her, simply when she can not afford to thank, I told my girlfriend after that, the girlfriend was silent for a long time, told me to save the letter, she also said, after she will try to care for the small leaf. So I kept the letter until last year when I moved.
When I went back to the shop after the final exam, Xiao Ye changed her job again -- I don't know if she met her bully here, too. I couldn't get in touch with her, so I waited sadly for her to call me, but I never heard from her again. Did she go back to her hometown? I guessed and hoped so. Because she's so young, I'm really worried about her losing out in a city where the competition for survival is a little brutal. Then I wonder if she has found someone to lean on. Well, at least she'd be protected... Can't think of so many possibilities, I simply with a cavity of melancholy down she does not want to.
After the new semester started, my short-lived love ended, and my phone fell into the toilet and was completely broken. After changing the phone number, I think that love has become a permanent memory, at the same time, the little leaf has also become a memory. Later, work, life and so on all sorts of things almost the two memories to squeeze out of the mind, did not expect yesterday I unexpectedly miraculously in this cold city met a small leaf, and each other can also call each other's name, this can not be said to be fate.
"Brother, you haven't changed much! I'm so happy to meet you again! Keep in touch and go out for tea when you are free!" The phone rang. It was a text message from Xiaoye. I wrote back: "You've grown in confidence. Little Leaf, I'm so happy for you!"
Yes, leaf, she is a small leaf on the road. I am also a leaf, floating in this urban forest, looking for my own position. What leaf in the world does not find its place in the end?
