If there's a fish and a bear's paw, you can't have both and so must choose one, which one would you choose?
Mencius said: Of course, certainly the bear's paw, and then you can use the bear's paw to kill the fish and pan fry it.
I was working at the desk and was constantly nodding off into dreams.
Dressed snow white wedding bravely facing my future, with steaming hot coffee, Ultraman also wearing a small attire and was wagging his tail, mom and dad grinning from ear to ear, as well as holding lilies, wishing me happiness...I wiped my mouth and raised up my head.
Can Can seeing my face sighed and depressingly said, "You've been working at the company all night, ah really pitiful."
I looked around with my sleepy eyes and seeing the words "Editorial Department" at the door reminded me that I had just had a spring dream, and so nodded and said, "There were too many things to do, no other way."
Can Can said, "Me too, I didn't go to bed until four in the morning, but I have finished everything, what about you?"
"Me too, they are on the chief's desk."
"It's been truly exhausting, then go back to get some rest and come back in the afternoon."
I hazily walked out of the company, I still haven't recovered from the drowsiness. I hazily only remember that I was oppressed by Ren Han last night to change the web novel overnight. I was in the abyss of suffering, and I went to the company early in the morning to complete and hand in my drafts and then fell asleep at my desk.
I tried to recall my partner from the dream, I thought for a long time but I couldn't remember the other person's face. Finally, before I reached the bus stop, I realized with a jolt. The point of the dream is not about the Prine Charming, but it's about...Mom and Dad.
"When you encounter difficulties, you look to your parents." How could I forget this sentence in this time of such difficulty? So, I riled up my heroic spirit and hailed a taxi and told the driver. "Zijing road, Ziyuan district."
Zijing road is in a well-known wealthy area in the city, a small road paved with green bluestone slabs with a row of European style bungalows, with a variety of expensive cars in front of them. When I got down from the car, I looked at the house for a long time, hesitated for a bit, but still pressed the doorbell.
Because I was passing my old building on the way, I picked up Ultraman too. So, as soon as my mother opened the door and saw me, her first reaction was to shout, "Ah, Ultraman, mama's precious darling! You are finally back, I missed you so much, wu wu, come in!"
( ⚆ _ ⚆ )
= =～
Ultraman was not reserved at all, like he had returned to his parents' house, he happily sauntered in, and bounced around the spacious living room, and he was even more excited and was wagging his tail at my mother enjoying the attention. After a while, my dad who had not yet left for the company also came downstairs in his pajamas, "Little Ul!!, Aiya, come here to daddy, look how thin he is, his hair is not smooth, little Ul, my poor little Ul."
Mom: "You dead man, don't hold Ultraman so tight, it'll hurt him. Come to mom, mom will make you something delicious."
Dad: "You dead woman, don't think you can snatch little Ul from my hands, he's mine!!"
Mom: "I haven't seen my son for a long time, won't let me hug him, you get out of here!"
...
So, like this, the family's only precious daughter and child came home and was splendidly forgotten in a corner.
This year, sure enough, people are not as good as dogs.
After half an hour, everything calmed down and my mom was holding a sleeping Ultraman, and I was sitting together in the small garden chatting and eating breakfast.
After I finished off two sausages, three slices of bread, a bowl of porridge and a cup of coffee, I finally said, "Did the chef at home change?"
My mother nodded, "I previously brought a daughter-in-law home, I simply got your father a master of Western and Chinese cuisine, it's only ¥20,000 a month~"
I felt fierce loathing, to think that I have to work so hard every month for just ¥2,000, I felt an unfilial desire to strangle my mother. I looked around the small garden at home, "It looks like the garden was also renovated? Is that a swing over there? Mom, truly the longer you live, the younger you are..."
I was joking, but my mother sighed and in a rare serious tone said, "Ning Ning, how are you doing out there by yourself, not good?
I shook my head without hesitation. Two years ago, I had proposed to live away from home. Since I chose this road, I will never regret it. In fact, to be honest, in the past two years, I have learned a lot of things that I couldn't have learned living at home. With this in mind, I bit my lip and said, "It's just...there is a little problem lately, money is a little tight, hehe..."
After I finished speaking, I was waiting for my mom to scold me, so I lowered my head and waited for her to blame me for not living well, for not managing my money, and for getting into trouble. But after a long while, the words I actually heard were, "Why didn't you say so earlier? No wonder Ultraman is so thin, it must be due to your financial problems, therefore you're harsh on my son, isn't it? Tell me, isn't that right? Aiya, hey, I told you at the beginning, that you can go but you had better leave Ultraman behind, we will raise him very well, but you did not listen - "
I was unable to bear it, blinked and pleaded, "Mom - "
