Today is the second day of the new year. Go to my aunt's house for New Year's greetings.
My cousin and cousin were there, and I also met my cousin's grandfather, who is 84 years old.
When he saw me coming in, he couldn't tell who I was, but when his aunt explained it to him, he suddenly grasped my hand and his eyes were wet.
He pulled me to sit next to him, recalling that when I was young, I lived in my aunt's house and played with my cousin. Now, my cousin's two children are going to primary school, and they look exactly like we used to.
My cousin's grandmother just passed away last year. Looking back, my grandfather kept wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. Since I went to college, I have been away from my hometown for many years. In his impression, I have always looked like a child. Now that the child of yesterday has become an adult, and the original knot has passed away, the sadness suddenly rises.

This time I went home and met a friend. We chatted during dinner together, and said that at a classmate's wedding two months ago, I saw many friends, but they were also the ones I saw at every party. I still couldn't see the ones I haven't seen for a long time. It was always those few people who attended, so As a result, he felt that he didn't want to attend such a wedding anymore - those faces would always be the same.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, I met a high school friend who lives in Tangshan on the Internet. She happened to be working the night shift and had nothing to do, so they chatted. She also mentioned that she seldom met her classmates in her hometown after graduation. She only met people she knew on the Internet occasionally, and she no longer contacted others.
It's not like it used to be now, when I was carefree, I would be together during winter and summer vacations. Now everyone has their own work and home, and everyone has their own career, not like before.
But I said, when we are old, everyone will think of those old friends again, and they will want to be together again.
