132. Storytellers, storytellers

Wei Daqun fell into memories and told the story of him and the enlightenment teacher.

"There are rules for writing letters to people, you have to help people keep secrets, and you can't say half a word to a third person, even if it's your parents and relatives. ”

"When some adults ask me to write a letter, they will give me a plum and a peach, and I understand what they mean, and their letters are to be kept secret. So at a young age, I have already come into contact with the world of adults, the complex and indescribable world. ”

"Once, my neighbor's young sister Ah Xiu came back from working in the city and brought back a man, a very bookish man, who had come to propose marriage to Ah Xiu's mother. ”

Tang Shuang: "That's a good thing. ”

Wei Daqun sighed, shook his head and said, "For Ah Xiu's mother, this is not a good thing. ”

Tang Shuang: "Oh?"

Wei Daqun said sadly: "The man in the neighbor's house was bitten by a poisonous snake a few years ago, and he was not saved, and died, leaving four orphans and widows, Ah Xiu is the eldest, and there are two four or five-year-old brothers below, and she must share the burden of the family." ”

Wei Daqun: "If Ah Xiu gets married, then there is only one woman in this family to support her, and she can't afford it anyway, so she didn't agree to this marriage." ”

Tang Shuang asked puzzledly: "As long as that man has a heart, he can continue to let Ah Xiu support her mother, I think in this case, he shouldn't refuse." ”

Wei Daqun was silent for a long time and said, "That little sister of mine~ She is a young lady in the city." ”

Tang Shuang's heart suddenly burst and he was silent.

Wei Daqun: "She was only 16 years old at the time~ The man came to redeem her. ”

The atmosphere in the study became solemn, Wei Daqun took a deep breath, and continued: "At that time, my neighbor aunt discussed with my mother, I was burning the stove and preparing to help my mother cook, but they didn't care about it, so I witnessed the whole process, and I will never forget that moment. ”

"My mother shed tears as she peeled broad beans, and that was the first time I saw her shed tears, and the woman who did the farm work without losing to a man was weaker than ever. ”

The two women cried for a while, and the neighbor's aunt went away and drove the man away. ”

Wei Daqun shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to shake off the excess emotions, and continued: "One day later, the neighbor's aunt received a letter from that man and asked me to read it to her. ”

"It was a letter written with a pen, the kind arranged vertically, the words were very beautiful, because it was cursive, I had a hard time reading it, but I still understood it, it was a letter with very sharp words, and the sentence that impressed me the most was that the tiger does not eat children. ”

"I read this sentence to my neighbor's aunt, and when she heard it, she cried and screamed that she was going to hit the wall and die!"

Tang Shuang could understand her mood at the time, she was said that tiger poison does not eat children, how sad it was, no one wanted their children to be good, everything was forced by life.

Fortunately, someone grabbed and comforted the neighbor's aunt and said that I must have read it wrong, and then invited my teacher to come, he read the letter and read it to everyone again, which means that he understands the painstaking work of being a parent, but he is also infatuated and willing to continue to wait. ”

Then I was unlucky, and the adults said that I was wrong, and there was no such thing as tiger poison and not eating children. I was angry, and I knew it was written in black letters. ”

"About two days later, the teacher came to me and said that I was reading correctly. I asked him why he didn't follow the truth, why didn't he help me. ”

Tang Shuang: "I want to know too." ”

Wei Daqun said: "The teacher asked me what my aunt's reaction was after I read the letter. I said she was going to hit the wall. ”

"The teacher said, yes, there can be two ways to say it, one way to make people angry and sad to hit the wall, the same meaning, in other words, it's another, Ah Xiu and the people in the city have no fate in the end, none of us can guarantee it, but no matter what, shouldn't we bless them. ”

"The teacher said that if you read the letter to Ah Xiu's mother word for word, then Ah Xiu and that man will no longer be possible. He must have been very emotional when he wrote the letter, and I think that when he calmed down, he must have regretted sending such a letter, but it was too late. ”

"The teacher said, "So, sometimes we have to put ourselves in our shoes, and when you read the letter in the future, you should pay attention, and when you encounter particularly harsh words, you have to turn them over and put it in another way. ”

Tang Shuang pondered carefully, and at the same time listened to Wei Daqun say: "Now that I think about it, he doesn't treat me as a child, and at that moment he treats me as an adult. ”

"Many years later, when I think back to that scene, the image of the intellectuals in my heart is not those university scholars, but this teacher of mine, who takes knowledge as a dedication, and he also hopes that this responsibility will be passed on. ”

Wei Daqun paused for a moment and said to Tang Shuang: "Knowledge is not only used for profit, knowledge can be used for dedication, knowledge can be used to help others, this is the philosophy of life that my enlightenment teacher told me, if it weren't for him, I might not have understood it until many years later." ”

Tang Shuang looked at Wei Daqun in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, he never thought that this teacher who met for the first time would actually say something full of meaning to him.

He was only grateful in his heart, only moved, and he understood his intentions.

Tang Shuang's mind kept echoing Wei Daqun's story, and every sentence seemed to have a unique charm.

Wei Daqun was very relieved to see Tang Shuang's appearance, he never relied on the old to sell the old, and never taught the younger generations as an elder, the reason why he told Tang Shuang these things this time, on the one hand, it was indeed a feeling after seeing the photo, and on the other hand, it was indeed a cherishment.

That's all he says, of course it's good to be able to understand, but if he can't understand his intentions, then he has no choice, and he will go his own way in the future.

Fortunately, Tang Shuang seemed to have listened.

……

The two chatted and forgot the time, until Wei Daqun's daughter, Wei Tingting, came home, Tang Shuang found that it was already noon, and immediately wanted to leave, but in the end Wei Daqun stayed for dinner.

Wei Tingting was very surprised, she was very clear about Wei Daqun's temper, although there were not many people who came to visit the house, there were many people, but there were not many people who could be left by him to eat.

After lunch, the two sat down to drink tea, and this time Wei Daqun didn't say anything more, but called Wei Tingting over.

"You young people have more common topics, you talk. ”

Wei Tingting was overjoyed when she heard that Tang Shuang was the author of "Hero", she was also a member of the chaser army, and she had already had a lot to ask him.

……

When Tang Shuang left, he bowed respectfully to Wei Daqun and thanked him for his kindness.

Wei Daqun was not polite, calmly accepted this bow, smiled and said that he often came to sit when he was free, and sent Tang Shuang out of the door.

Wei Tingting asked gossipingly, "Dad, what did you talk about in the morning?" ”
