Chapter 93: Before Parting
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" records that it is suitable for lust between the world, no hatred, no desire to leave the world, being obeyed, not wanting to look at the world, not working outside the form, no trouble of thinking inside, taking pleasure as the business, taking self-satisfaction as the work, the body is not broken, and the spirit is not dispersed.
The Buddha said: Sentient beings live in the world, and contact with the outside world with their eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body produce the sense of color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, etc., to perceive the world, and then arouse the heart of profit, and for all desirable things in the outside world, and even for the body of sentient beings in harmony with the five aggregates, there is an insatiable and unsatisfying pursuit, that is, greed.
In Mahayana Buddhism, the Kusha Treatise divides greed into four types, namely, the greed of manifestation, the greed of form, the greed of the wonderful touch, and the greed of offerings.
Zi said: Rich and noble are what people want, and they do not get it by their way, and they do not go anywhere; poverty and cheapness are the evil of people, and they do not get it by their way, and they do not go to it. A gentleman goes to benevolence, and evil calls to become famous? A gentleman has no end of food for benevolence, and the time must be made, and the upheaval must be so.
For sentient beings, although we can't force everyone in the world to be "out of the mud without staining, clear ripples without demons", but it must be easy to achieve "a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way", right?
Many times I think that Liao Tan has done everything to kill an old man in a few years, and even spent a lot of energy to study and analyze the old man's personality and way of doing things, in order to find the hiding place of the gold bar, all of which are due to the trend of the word "greed".
And this, just with grandpa and grandma in the handling of this matter is a stark contrast, the gold bars hidden at home actually have a "heart disease" because of this, want to return those troublesome gold bars to the original owner earlier, but never coveted and possessed their own greed!
What kind of open-mindedness is this? Is it true that grandma and grandpa are very rich? Isn't grandma and grandpa not short of money? Isn't grandma and grandpa rare gold bars? No, by no means! Rather, they understand the truth of "taking what is right," and they understand even more the truth that "a gentleman loves money and gets it by his way."
It's much better than the kind of Liao Tan who does everything possible to take it for himself!
If my grandfather can live until the present of the 21st century, I believe that he is the only model of socialist morality, only by a little bit!
Afterwards, Grandpa secretly asked Director Zhang how he guessed that the gold bar was here, and Director Zhang said: "Old Man Wang's will mentioned one thing many times that made him fall in love, that is, the second lama is a good person, a veritable good man in the whole village, much better than Liao Tan's character at that time, and you can go to him if you have difficulties." ”
At that time, I asked Wang Yu if there was some kinship or interest entanglement between you, and Wang Yu shook his head many times and denied it. Director Zhang thought for a while and said, "At that time, I was thinking, since there is no entanglement of interests, and there is no kinship, and I mentioned it repeatedly in the suicide note, so that I must find you for something like that, it must not be a simple help, there must be another reason!
Director Zhang seemed to be quite satisfied with his IQ and smiled for a long time......
Before leaving my grandmother's house, my second uncle stewed a big pot of sheep's trotters to see us off.
There must be friends who will say, how many sheep's trotters can be in a big pot, and it is worth saying that it is "on the big table" to see them off?
You are wrong, friends who have no experience of rural life must not know, the big black pot on the stove in the countryside is large enough, and it is very common to have a diameter of 1.5 meters, otherwise how can my mother steam a pound of steamed buns on the construction site?
If this is not intuitive enough, then there is a more intuitive way of saying it, the second uncle stewed more than 200 sheep's trotters in one big pot!
Ha ha!
It's more evocative when you eat it.
It's all a family, so I don't see it, my aunt picked up the cauldron and put it directly in the middle of the big kang, and the whole family sat cross-legged around the cauldron.
My brother and I, that is, the legendary "Darwin", the two of us ate with relish, you fought for me, and we launched a round of "Sheep's Hoof Contest" very tacitly.
I have to say that my aunt's craftsmanship is simply first-class, although it is a large pot stew, but each sheep's hooves are particularly delicious, and the tender hoof meat and mutton tendons are gently sucked, and it can be easily "smoothed" into the mouth.
Chew slowly, savor the taste, the fragrance of the seasoning will naturally cover up and remove the smell of mutton without traces, so that the mutton trotters give full play to the soft and delicate feeling in the mouth;
The brothers one after another, for fear that the other party would compete for the lead, gobbled up each other's smirks while eating, and made a sound of "chirp" and "squeak", that kind of comfortable feeling, not to mention how happy!
Because, that was the first and only time from childhood to adulthood to eat sheep's trotters unscrupulous! I don't think about whether it is enough or not, whether I keep it or not, the only thing that needs to be considered is whether the belly is big enough and whether it can hold on!
"Eat, eat more!" The second uncle said to us with a smile in his loud voice: "Such a big young man, it is the time to grow his body, eat more, there must be no left!"
As the saying goes, "half the eldest child, eat the poor old man" is really not just talking, and in the end, the "results" of the two of us are also very fruitful: Darwin and I ate half a pot of sheep's trotters together, that is, more than 100! At first, I was still counting while eating, but then I was in a hurry, so I didn't care about that, everything was in line with the principle of "what I eat in my mouth is my own", and my two hands are like two robotic arms, so endlessly I don't want to send them to my mouth.
The second uncle looked at the way our brothers were eating, smiled and said something to my mother that I will never forget in my life: "Fourth sister, you see how fragrant these two boys are! Do you say that we are old? As long as we watch the children eat in their mouths and stomachs, they are happy, and they are a hundred times happier than when we eat in our mouths!"
Mother just laughed and didn't say anything.
At that time, he was young, and he just ate "regardless of his head", and he didn't understand what his second uncle was saying at all, but after he had a child, he understood the meaning of this sentence in an instant.
When I mentioned this to my mother a few days ago, I said, "When I was younger, I didn't understand what my elders were thinking, and I didn't know where they were starting from what they were talking about, so I didn't think about it that much. Now that I have children, I finally understand the truth that 'raising children knows the kindness of parents', and I also understand that every word of the elders is from the bottom of my heart that the younger generations will 'be better than the blue', but what is often exchanged is the incomprehension and disapproval of the younger generations, and even 'brushing their sleeves away' and 'slamming the door and leaving'......"
Mother said with deep sympathy: "Yes, the elders are good to you, that is, I hope you can take every step of your life more smoothly, and I want to tell you all the twists and turns and thorns in their lives, don't use a few lives to test the old road taken by the elders, not only waste time, but also waste youth." ”
"Now when I see my son Qinqin and his little brother and sister eating, I really understand the state of mind of my second uncle at that time, and there is really no selfish love!" I sighed.
The mother nodded yes again and again.
Straight to the point.
At the end of the meal, Darwin and I wanted to finally compare who ate more, but as a result, the bones of the two of us after gnawing on the sheep's hooves formed a "small hill" as high as a pot, "stretching" and undulating, and it was really impossible to tell who had more and who had less.
It's just that more than half of the sheep's hooves in the pot are missing!
"Hey......
We glanced at each other, scratched our heads and smiled embarrassedly, looked at the "small hill" in front of us, and then looked at the few pieces of sheep bones scattered in front of the elders.
The two then quickly dodged out, and felt the feeling of "walking against the wall" again, and the sourness was incomparable.
When I walked with my hands on my waist and my stomach on my back, in a completely "D" position, an idea popped into my head at that moment: "Could this be how a pregnant woman feels when she walks?"
Before parting in the afternoon.
Grandma asked grandpa to slaughter two chickens for her mother, packed them up and took them home to eat, but her mother repeatedly shirked them, but she couldn't resist grandma.
"Fourth girl, just take it! Don't push your mother!" Grandma had already packed it in a red bag for her mother, and she just stuffed it into her mother's hand, saying, "What kind of mouth does your mother know! This time you have lived for so long, people will definitely ask you about the ins and outs, the causes and consequences." “
"The main thing is that there is nothing to bring back to you in the countryside, and these are still passable, than to let people find you trouble, and talk three or four behind your back. “
Speaking of this, my mother also realized that things must not be so simple, and my grandmother's words were also reasonable, so she did not hesitate, and said, "Okay, Mom, then I will take it." “
As soon as she heard her mother relieved, her grandmother immediately smiled: "Hey, that's right, this is my mother's good girl!"
I think that every parent is like this, as long as they see their children eating and grabbing, they will be happy and happy from the bottom of their hearts! Just like the second uncle watching us eat, there is no difference.
The two uncles also brought a lot of green and pollution-free agricultural products to my mother, such as red beans, noodles, sunflower seeds, and tofu...... I can't count them, and no matter how much my mother pushes them off, it won't help.
Of course, they also know that this sister is not easy, and they always think about the special emotion of "sister and mother" that this fourth sister pulled up the two brothers single-handedly.
But in terms of specific details, my mother never mentioned it to my mother's family, first, I was afraid that my mother's family would worry, and second, she wanted to maintain the only remaining "face" of the hero outside......
Mother also understands that once the uncles know the true face of the hero, with the character of the second uncle alone, the hero will not be able to "bully and dominate the market" in peace, but can he openly and honestly publicize his family affairs? Of course not!
This is also one of the weaknesses of the mother's character!
When leaving, Wang Ergou happily agreed to send our mother and son to the bus station, and insisted on never charging, and said that as long as the grandfather's family used the car, it would not be charged!
Needless to say, good people have their own good rewards!
Grandma and grandpa watched us get on the motorcycle, and when the motorcycle started, the two couldn't help but chase a few steps forward, and the crystal tears in their eyes could not be dispersed for a long time, so that my heart could not be calmed for a long time......
If you think about it carefully, how do you feel about me as a "descendant of A C", not to mention my mother, their biological daughter?
When will we see each other?
