Ji Po said goodbye to Tang Shiyong and continued to carry dung in the direction of the dam head. All the way up the ridge, along the ridge, step by step. When I arrived at the new house, I met Huang's mother's adopted daughter Huai Baoji. Huai Bao saw that it was Jipo a few times, so he greeted him with a smile and shouted: "Uncle Jipo, why are you so diligent, and you still carry dung to the field so late." Jipo heard the voice, and when he raised his head to look, he saw that it was Huai Baoji, so he also showed a slight smile on his face, and said jokingly: "Huai Baoji, seeing that you have grown up, I never expected that you would also be a big girl, it should be the time to find a partner to marry, but unfortunately I can't be a matchmaker, seeing that you are also diligent and hardworking to help your parents do things, I will definitely help you find a good man, and the person is also good-looking." Seeing Jipo's praise like this, Huai Bao was happy for a while, and said: "Why don't you come to my house to rest, drink a glass of wine, and eat a bowl before leaving!

At this time, let's not mention how Jipo is diligent and homely. only said that Huai Baoji returned home, and Huang's mother saw that her daughter was back and was about to eat, so she said to Huai Baoji: "You have to go to Zhongnan Primary School to visit your uncle in the near future and help him bring some food to eat." This Huang Lao Ma relied on her hard-working hands, and because she brought an adopted daughter to do a few things, she lived a rich life. On weekdays, he takes more than enough care of his younger brother Huang Benchao, and Huai Baoji heard that his mother asked him to visit his uncle in Zhongnan Primary School and leave his relatives, so he was naturally happy.

In addition, this Huang Ben Chaozhongnan Primary School teacher enjoys national teacher qualifications and allowances. It is located in the center of Shangnan Ridge and Xialan Creek, intersecting in the Zhongnan Dangping Ao, choosing a flat place between the mountains, and building a fortress when the sun is facing the wind. For quite a few years, Huang Benchao was on the top of the Shang Nan Ridge, studying hard in the cold window since he was a child, and his sister Huang Lao Ma was sent in the cold wind, and the snow was connected. At that time, I was happy from the heart, and I looked like a peugeot and had an extraordinary appearance. At that time, due to the scarcity of talents, cultural people are even more fragrant and spicy, as soon as the school graduates, they will be assigned to work in the confidential departments of the county government. Huang Benchao was in demand for a while, his heart was full of joy, he was bold for a while, he was smug, and he became famous for a while. Therefore, he showed mercy everywhere, spent his heart everywhere, and supported his superiors to support the power of government dignitaries. Because of his ability, he couldn't restrain his sentiments for a while, and did things that corrupted his virtues. And because one thing is not accomplished, another incident arises, and another incident arises again. Even if there are three heads and six arms, the power inside and outside is supported. How can I bear to offend people who shouldn't be offended, just because I am young and vigorous, my morality is poor, and I have the ability to hold my own skills, and I have already offended many people in the department. It's just that I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and I didn't manage the rules of officialdom within the office, so I had a flattering atmosphere. Therefore, the wind of the inverted Wang Dynasty immediately sounded, but the Nai Wang Dynasty is still a capable person, immediately turned to the wind, and because of the trouble, he knew that he was losing courtesy, because of the big wind, he was timid for a while, he did not dare to be careless, and went straight to the top of the leader to lean back in the mountains, interrogating ideas, and asking about the matter, the leader has always taken a fancy to the talent of the Wang Dynasty, and the equipment was used, and the Wang Dynasty was not angry, and the anger was too loud, and he had no intention of ending up, if he did not deal with it properly, he would force the limelight and aggravate the internal disputes, and he had no intention of doing anything, so he had to endure the pain and cut his love, and played a chess game of the car to protect the handsome, on the one hand, to regulate things and solve disputes。 On the one hand, Wang Benchao was relieved of his duties, delegated to the locality, and took teaching and educating people as his responsibility.

Back in the poor countryside, a person who enjoys a fixed salary from the state is particularly dazzling in the township. Sending a few children to school in the countryside is not much extra family resources, but it seems clumsy and poor. In contrast, state functionaries are even more prominent figures. Dressed in a gray card machine tunic suit, holding a briefcase, carrying a Shanghai watch, carrying a radio, and walking along the way with the singing, the villagers and neighbors heard the sound of Teacher Huang Benchao going to class or going home. The old man who was carrying the dung on his shoulders and the sister-in-law who was hoeing vegetables stood on his feet and looked up for a while, waiting for the sound to be far away. Only then did I have the heart to start the hoe.

Huang Benchao has a sister named Huang Laoma, married into a new house, has no children and no daughters, only one adopted daughter, called Huai Baoji, grew up to be eighteen years old, and she is also a big girl who is loved by everyone. Because there was a young girl in the neighborhood who pursued her, this young young girl was named Mao Monkey, without a father or mother, and her family was poor. Huai Bao didn't fancy him at the time, and then the hairy monkey came to see Huai Baoji several times, Huai Bao couldn't do it, and because his parents didn't call the shots, he didn't choose a husband with Huai Bao when he reached the age of marriage, and stayed by his side to count a day a day, and he didn't plan to give Huai Bao a few marriages to decide, and he chose a husband at will, and he was helpless, Huai Bao was angry, so he had to agree to the marriage with the Mao Monkey. Huai Baoji was about to get married, and Huang's mother immediately disagreed with her daughter marrying the hairy monkey, but Huai Baoji had already agreed, and she couldn't. On the day of the wedding, Huang's mother did not make a few pieces of furniture and other wedding clothes for Huai Baoji. This Huang Lao Ma also had some money at that time, but she was not her own daughter, and she was unwilling to marry the hairy monkey at that time, so she didn't give a penny of dowry to her arms in a fit of anger. He was young and ignorant at the time, and he was also angry at the time, and ruined his life. I didn't expect the poverty of the hairy monkey to get such a realm, every day to eat the last meal without the next meal, relying on wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, two years after marriage, the hairy monkey followed the arms of a few up the mountain and down the water, farming and hoeing the two lived a life of mutual affection, and the days were quite flat. The two of them drank tea when they were tired, and rested on the spot when they were sleepy, Huai Baoji always said to the hairy monkey with a smile: "Brother Mao, you are tired, take a rest when you are tired!" The hairy monkey held Huai Baoji's little hand and said, "Sister Huai, with you by my side, I am not tired at all, I have endless strength, and I have endless strength." The hairy monkey hugged Huaibao tightly in his arms, it was the weather of March and April, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind. The hairy monkey and Huai Bao were intoxicated by the crisp air. Birds come in pairs, butterflies come in pairs. Huai Bao snuggled in the arms of the hairy monkey, the wind blew gently, and the grass was soft. The hairy monkeys plough the land, and Huaibao throws a few seeds. Husband and wife both hoeed. Although life can barely survive, Huai Baoji feels that life has been very happy, day by day stronger, eating wild vegetables in the first half of the year, eating Hongru in the second half of the year, and eating endless green beans, beans, and potatoes. Huai Baoji is full of hope for life, people are also competitive, and the land is not lazy. Huai Bao said happily to the hairy monkey: "Brother Mao, if this year's Hongru harvest, next year we borrow money from our mother's house to buy a pig to raise, pig will have fertilizer, stir-fry there will be oil, what do you think?" No more suffering. Huai Bao is not like a hairy monkey, he just wants to live a solid life. It's good to have Hongru to eat. What's the point of being tired?

In the spring of this year, the hairy monkey and Huai Bao took their children to help Huang's mother pay New Year's greetings, and Huang's mother was of course happy, serving wine and cooking, very enthusiastic. After three rounds of wine, its wine strength is up. The hairy monkey opened the conversation and said that he wanted to do some business, but he had no capital and no way to start. Huai Bao saw the hairy monkey have this idea, and his heart was shocked, he didn't expect to be with the hairy monkey for so many years, and he never thought that he had such an idea, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and always thought it was just talking, and he didn't dispel his thoughts, but the family conditions at that time did not allow it, as the saying goes: "Be careful to make a boat for ten thousand years." "How can you put aside the agricultural production at home and do something that has nothing to do with yourself, not to mention that now the family can't come up with a penny, in case the business loses, the originally poor family will be even worse. Huai Baoji didn't agree to do business, but when he saw the hairy monkey's persistent face, he didn't dispel his thoughts for a while. I couldn't make up my mind for a while, but I was the daughter of a rural family, and I didn't have any experience in the world, so I had to let it go. And Huang's mother said: "There is no extra money at home, only enough for a year's expenses, where is there money to borrow." If you want to do some business, you can borrow some from your uncle Huang Benchao, who is a state worker, different from ordinary people. When the time comes, it's not too late to make a profit. When the hairy monkey heard this, he was very happy and said, "Uncle must have money, but whether he is willing to borrow it or not is another matter." Huang's mother said: "It depends on whether your uncle looks down on you, whether you are honest or not, whether you can do it, and whether you have the mind to do business." The hairy monkey took over Huang's mother's words and said: "You see that I have clear eyebrows, a talent, and a flexible mind, and I know that I am a business material at a glance." It is no worse than the average businessman. Huai Baoji took over the hairy monkey's words and said: "You just have a bare mouth, how can you do it without actual action? You live in a remote mountain village all year round, and you don't know anything about business, but now you are involved in business, so I think it is more reliable to do some agricultural work in the mountains in a proper manner." Huang's mother took over and said: "As the saying goes: business is difficult to do. This business is not as profitable as doing hard work in the countryside, and it is better to listen to my girl's words. Stay in the countryside, and when your children grow up in the future, you will have a helper!" The hairy monkey said seriously: "If you don't do things, how can you know whether it is difficult or not! If you don't try anything, how can you know your own ability." Huai Baoji sighed and said: "Brother Mao, you also know that our family conditions do not allow it!" Mao Monkey said: "Sister Huai, you have to try everything, go to break through, and only then can you know how easy it is." Huai Bao saw that the hairy monkey had made up his mind, and no matter how difficult he was, it would be useless. I have to rely on my actions and then make plans. just made the last effort, and said to the hairy monkey: "Brother Mao, you see our family, in the past few years, our husband and wife have been singing and harmonizing, and we have made this family look a little bit, today you are tough to do business, you look at our family like this, and you can't get a penny of business capital, and the previous generation has not left any business acumen for us, why should we go against the sky, and I can't do it?" Listening to Huai Baoji's persuasion, the hairy monkey finally agreed on the surface, but this is the time of the New Year, and it is not impossible to go to his uncle's house! Huai Baoji heard that the hairy monkey agreed, but he just wanted to stay at home for a long time, and wanted to go to relatives, and his heart was also broadened.

The next day, Huai Bao and the hairy monkey took their children out of his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, along the way, Huai Baoji told the hairy monkey not to ask his uncle to borrow money, saying: "Now our family is poor and cannot afford to repay." Money has eyes, and it will not be borrowed for no reason. But the hairy monkey has made up his mind, so he has to borrow some money to do business. Good fortune. But in Huai Baoji's eyes, isn't this a whimsical thing! When he approached Huang Benchao's house, it was almost noon. The hairy monkey set off the cannon, and his uncle Huang Benchao came out of the hall to greet him, and saw that the only nephew Lang gave him a New Year's greeting, of course, he had to catch it happily, and he was very happy, and he put wine in the house. The hairy monkey was very happy to see his uncle, and he had a bottom in his heart, so when he was drinking, he approached his uncle and said: "Uncle, like you, a state functionary, the salary should be very high!" Huang Benchao took a sip of wine and said: "This salary is not enough to feed my family! How can we talk about high salaries? I have to rely on one acre and three points of land in the countryside to support myself, and it is really not easy to live a life." The hairy monkey listened to his uncle Huang Benchao's words, his face was ashamed, he heard this, and before he opened his mouth to borrow money, he was turned away, it seems that there is no hope of borrowing money from his uncle, and he is disheartened at the moment. The hairy monkey thought to himself, if he can't borrow money today, he can't do business, and he doesn't want to work hard to cultivate the land, and he has little hope of farming all year round. When is the day to emerge! The hairy monkey was thinking hard. Find a new shortcut in life and live a happy life with your wife, son and daughter.

There is nothing to do tonight, and the matter of wanting to borrow money swells up in the heart of the hairy monkey, but there is something wrong with his uncle's tone, and the thing he wants to open is finally buried in his heart, or think of another way out, and then make plans. Chatting nothing, Huang Benchao set up a game, wanting everyone to entertain, taking advantage of the New Year, a game of cards for a penny at a time, and I can't see how many wins and losses. The whole family property of the hairy monkey is in his pocket, and he has a belongings of one or two yuan. At this time, the uncle Huang Benchao ordered someone to play cards, and there was no reason for it, and at this time he had to come from, Huai Bao wanted to persuade the hairy monkey to calm down and take a look, but the hairy monkey did not look at the efforts of the moment, Huai Bao had to calm down and watch the battle, at the beginning, Huai Bao was happy and sad. Didn't catch a good hand, the moment dizzy, fortunately the monkey calmly responded, kept the capital, did not lose, the heart of joy. The hairy monkey is a master of playing cards, and he is already calm. Unexpectedly, after a few hands, I won a few times in a row. Cards were played until eleven o'clock in the evening. At this time, Huang Benchao was a little sleepy, and because his luck was really bad, he played all night, and before he played a good deck of cards, he shouted to stop and rest early. The hairy monkey won seven or eight dollars, and he was very happy. I thought: As the saying goes, three or six lines make a champion. This card is also one of the thirty-six lines, and it is easy to make money. It's better than plowing the land and farming! Face the loess all day long, with your back to the sky. I couldn't get any money yet, so I easily won seven or eight dollars tonight. On this night, the hairy monkey thought a lot and dreamed a lot. The tragedy of the family also began.

On the second day, the hairy monkey and Huai Baoji came back from Huang Benchao's house with their children. On the way, the hairy monkey intended to reveal to Huai Baoji about going to play cards. Huai Baoji resolutely disagreed, saying: "Look at which family in every dynasty and generation got rich by playing cards and gambling." There are only allusions to the loser. How can there be any possibility of a prosperous family. The hairy monkey knew that his wife Huai Baoji would not agree with his own ideas, so he superficially agreed with Huai Baoji's idea, and was blinded by her for a while. But behind his back, he began his crazy dream of making a fortune. Huai Baoji was very angry in his heart, and as soon as he got home, he couldn't breathe a sigh of anger, so he took the hairy monkey to do things in the soil. Huai Bao is a competitive person, and he doesn't want everyone to see this already poor family fall into decadence. called her husband to change his mind, but the hairy monkey did not wake up. Making a good family doesn't happen overnight. It takes the result of the perseverance of a generation or generations. The hairy monkey is in a hurry, always thinking that the road is moving slowly, and does not think about the overnight work, but the speed of the moment.

Since the pair of hairy monkeys in Huaibao are becoming less and less attractive, this will happen one day. One day, the hairy monkey took advantage of Huaibao's lack of attention and secretly ran out to find his outside world. Along the way, the hairy monkey is terrified, and what should have happened will eventually happen. The hairy monkey was cautious at the beginning, with only a few dollars in his pocket, he had to save a little gambling, once he accompanied the old man, he didn't even have the gambling money, how to realize his idea. The hairy monkey is cautious and always bets and wins. The nervous heart is also relaxed. At the poker table, gamblers were red-eyed. Glued to a few cards on the table, not relaxing for a moment. Look at what cards are out of the opponent's house, what cards are left in your hand, a card by card is so clear, you can play your own cards. There is a cloud in the soldiers: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles." "The card field is the battlefield, and you must not let go of your cards for a moment. In the blink of an eye, the win or loss of a few dollars of money was lost. At the beginning, the hairy monkey did not have such a big capital, and he did not dare to play such a big card, so he had to watch the battle. Looking at the master match, the hairy monkey learned the skills of playing cards, and his heart became cheerful. For a few days, the hairy monkey won dozens of dollars. He didn't immediately get out of the casino, just watched carefully. However, the gamblers in the casino, no matter how careful they are, and then watch their tricks, it is difficult to see through them for a while. The gambler is also destined to lose. There are no cards that always win to the end, no gamblers who are always lucky to the end, and no gamblers who take when the situation is good.

Before getting married, the hairy monkey was lazy and didn't want to do things, but he was idle every day and didn't do justice. Now that the wood is in the boat, it cannot change the reality. Huai Baoji was grief-stricken and had already given birth to a boy and a girl. With a few painstaking management of the field, I saw that for the sake of a son and a daughter, I did not remember the mistakes of the hairy monkey, and hoped that the hairy monkey could change his mind and do a good job in the family. But the hairy monkey once disappointed Huai Baoji, and this day the hairy monkey came back and owed hundreds of yuan in gambling debts, and the originally poor family was even worse. Almost unreasonable, he committed suicide by poisoning himself that night, leaving two young children to the hairy monkey. The hairy monkey not only did not wake up, but intensified, put the two children with Huang's mother, and kept the card table day and night, not thinking of making any progress. Huang's mother is old, how can she support her two grandchildren. But I couldn't, so I had to send them to the temple to raise them, relying on the Bodhisattva to bless them, hoping that the two of them could grow up.

After Po Dan went to the new house to do things, he suddenly heard that Huai Bao committed suicide by taking poison, and sighed. I didn't expect Huai Bao to look for a short time at a young age, and when I watched her grow up, I didn't think she would go so soon. This hairy monkey is really not angry, and he doesn't do good agricultural production, but he wants to gamble. It's true: "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to vote for." "It's a pity that Huai Bao is almost as old as a flower, why do you have to look for a short time, go to see the king of Hades, there are cubs, can't you keep the two cubs well.

Jipo is a kind-hearted person who can't tolerate the sad and moving things of others. While digging out the dung, I couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Tang Shiyong passed by and saw Lao Po sighing, and it was of far-reaching significance. Hurriedly asked, "What is it that makes you complain and sigh?" Jipo heard Tang Shiyong's voice, raised his head, looked at Tang Shiyong, and said: "I just heard that Huang's mother's adopted daughter committed suicide by poisoning in the new house, and I felt a little sad when I thought about it, so I sighed. When Tang Shiyong heard this, he just said "oh" and said: "Lao Po shouldn't have the kindness of a woman! Jipo said: "Huai Bao is what I have seen with my own eyes, so I feel a little sad to think about it. A person's life and death are predestined by heaven. Tang Shiyong saw that he had to say such things, so he smiled and said: "Lao Po still believes that God is destined, so this is not true." Jipo heard Tang Shiyong's words, and it seemed that there was something in his words. He asked, "Old Tang, what should you think of it?" Tang Shiyong said: "Old Po! A person's birth, old age, sickness and death are closely related to his ancestral bloodline. What kind of person will do what kind of thing, the root gene is like this, it is destined to the fate of a person's life. I don't know: "Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans." Jipo heard Tang Shiyong's words and seemed to have an understanding. He said: "Old Don's view of life and destiny is so deep, I really can't compare." Tang Shiyong saw that Jipo was so humble, so he said: "Lao Po is a descendant of Zhou Yu, and after being loyal and good, he has a good natural ability, but he didn't show it for a while. Ji Po smiled and said: "Old Tang, you are laughing at me, although it is after Zhou Yu, there is no ability of Zhou Yu." It's okay to carry firewood and mow grass for a lifetime, and pick up manure and manure. Tang Shiyong said: "Lao Po was just born at the wrong time, and he has never met Bole in his life." You see that you are born with a good appearance, the heavenly court is full, the earth is wide and round, and your eyes are bright, even if Zhou Yu is alive, it may not be like this. Ji Po smiled when he heard this, and he smiled happily for a while. After laughing, he said: "How dare a mountain village man be so debauched and insult his ancestors, it really shouldn't be. Tang Shiyong saw that Jipo didn't believe his own words, so he said: "If Lao Po doesn't believe it, he will definitely see it in the future, and when he thinks of my words, he will definitely believe it." Ji Po heard Tang Shiyong boasting about himself like this, and when he thought about it, he came to understand it, and said: "Old Tang praised me so much, but I know that I am very capable, you are both civil and military, and you are second to none in this brigade." Tang Shiyong saw Lao Po say this, so he said: "Lao Po doesn't know, you are unpolished, it is the ability of nature." I learned it the day after tomorrow, and there are two kinds of differences, worlds of difference. If you practice, you will be able to attain more than I am capable of. After hearing this, Jipo shook his head and said: "The words come from your mouth, let you say it, I will only be my farmer again, let's go!" Tang Shiyong saw that Jipo didn't believe it, so he also carried a load of dung. Caught up with Jipo and asked, "Old Po, that's what I'm talking about." Jipo looked at Tang Shiyong, speechless for a while, just smiled and said to him: "You always have a reason, a way, and a knowledgeable person." ”
