Chapter 15: The Omnipotent Mother
After the politics exam, Tang Juexiao had a smile on his face.
There was an old monk in Zen Buddhism in the Song Dynasty who proposed the three realms of Zen meditation.
At the beginning of the realm, at the beginning of Zen meditation, the mountains are the mountains, and the water is the water. At this time, people are still ordinary people, confused by the rolling red dust, ordinary people hold their own views, and they hold all the images as real. Roughly ninety percent of people are in this state.
After some experience, the mountains are not mountains, and the water is not water. After some training, the practitioner has broken through the self-nature, understood the phenomena, and understood the emptiness. After rolling in the red dust for ten or twenty years, some smart people will reach this state.
But in the last realm, the mountains are still mountains, and the water is still water. At this time, people will no longer be obsessed with right and wrong, nor will they care about what is or not, the same nature, the same as the light, the transcendent object, and the perfection and freedom. This kind of perfection is not something that everyone can achieve. What is needed is not only wisdom, but also the mind and so on.
Zen Buddhism is about how to feel the true self, how to see the nature of the mind, as long as the mind is clear, everyone can be the same.
Tang Juexiao is not a religious element, but Tang's father is engaged in design and supervision, and now people are superstitious, and the country has to ask someone to calculate to build a government building, including the layout of the Hangyang Convention and Exhibition Center after Greentown, which is a giant ship, and the Vientiane City that fights against it is also designed as Houyi Shooting Sun.
There are almost some conditions, before building a building, you have to do the math, and then worship the West, because the West is the origin of Buddhism. There's a bit of a Zen philosophy here.
Tang's father also reads feng shui books, Buddhism and Taoism, and even Zhou Yi, Tang Juexiao has been somewhat affected.
He struggled in the rolling red dust, and finally honestly opened a small shop, made hard-earned money, and no longer thought about speculation, which is a kind of detachment.
In the process of answering the political test papers, Tang Juexiao completed a spiritual baptism, and he handed in the papers not only for a test, but also for a certain attitude towards life.
As soon as he came out of the 45 Middle School Gate, not only Tang's mother was there, but Tang's father was also there.
In the previous life, Tang Juexiao remembered that he was depressed when he came out, and then he really failed the test, and then his parents scolded him for several months.
This time, no matter which subject he was examined, Tang Juexiao came out with a smile.
"How's it going?" asked the father, who saw his son at a glance, and stepped forward.
"No problem, it must be A!"
"Whatever you want to eat, Dad will buy it for you!" Dad Tang suddenly became proud.
"I just want to eat a bowl of snail noodles and put two pig's trotters. ”
Of course, Tang's father refused to be so casual, and dragged Tang Juexiao to the Golden Continent, and at the same time called an old classmate.
This old classmate has competed with Tang's father for many years, and after graduation, he also competed for his job, and then let his children fight for the ......
At first, Tang Juexiao kept winning, but Tang Juexiao used to be the kind of person who might drop the chain at a critical moment. In the end, of course, the competitor won Tang Juexiao......
But!
In this era, no matter how unfortunate your grades are, and how unnatural your studies are in the future, it is not as good as you buying the right house at the right time!
So to sum up, Tang Juexiao still won.
When you lose, you lose inexplicably, and when you win, you win inexplicably, Tang Juexiao sometimes thinks back on everything, and really thinks that there are many things in ancient and modern times, and they are all laughing and talking.
When he was dragged by Tang's father to beat, Tang Juexiao unexpectedly saw a person, Huang Jiawei's father.
Of course, Dad Huang knows his daughter's situation, and he also knows Tang Juexiao, so he glared at Xiao Tang at this time.
Tang Juexiao smiled, and flashed with his parents, leaving a confused Huang Dad.
Tang Juexiao didn't want to be entangled with Huang Jiawei anymore, not that she was bad, but that the two were not all the way, and it was boring to talk.
The beginning of the two is also quite inexplicable, to sum up, the other party is good-looking, and the ring of the boy lies in the color, Tang Juexiao couldn't hold back at the beginning.
Huang's father is the director of a small food factory, and the boxed winter melon tea in the store belongs to his family. Huang's mother is a little mentally ill, and Huang Jiawei also took Tang Juexiao to see her in high school, of course, referring to Tang Juexiao staying outside, and she left together after watching it.
This psychosis is not moody, it is the kind that always endures, is bullied in various ways, and finally becomes depressed, and commits suicide when cheated out of money.
Thinking about it, Huang Jiawei didn't know how to refuse, and finally pulled out an inexplicable polyamorous love.
In fact, knowing how to refuse decently is maturity, and Xiao Tang doesn't want to let such a pit to hold him back.
And there are too many good-looking people, and if you want to chase them, you can catch up, but the failure of the previous life made Tang Juexiao understand a truth, heartbeat is not love, heart determination is, obviously Huang Jiawei is not the person who can make him feel at ease.
When the family arrived in the Golden Continent, Tang's father ordered food first, waiting for the old classmate's family to come.
Every time he invites someone to dinner, Dad Tang will order first, which is actually very bad. There are often people who can't find their way or come late for something, and then a bunch of people eat cold food. And what if someone doesn't eat spicy food? What if there are Muslims among their friends?
But Dad Tang is really good, he will treat him, and the dishes he orders are all his favorite food, and he wants to share what he loves with others. It's just that in the eyes of others, he may not think so, and some people may think that why does he only order what he likes to eat?
Tang Juexiao glanced around, now Dad Tang likes to entertain guests in the Golden Continent, he was also here more than ten years ago, and it will be the same more than ten years later, this is a person with advanced skills, but some places are more stubborn.
Not long after, this old classmate of Tang's father came, with a person who was about the same age as Tang Juexiao.
"Xiao Tang, how did you do in the exam?"
"It's okay!"
"Hippo he also did well in the exam, and said that he would probably be able to go to the second middle school, and you will still be together at that time, and you will help each other in school. ”
"Okay, we'll see when the time comes. Tang Juexiao instantly felt that this Uncle He was testing his results, this uncle was really scheming.
In fact, this uncle is indeed scheming, and Dad Tang can't fight him.
His son and Tang Juexiao are good friends, but the two don't have so much thought, Tang Juexiao beckoned Jiyou to sit down, and very skillfully ordered Daoxiang pig's trotters and stone pot duckbill, and Jiyou ordered roast chicken.
Tang Juexiao likes to observe, watching the two middle-aged men drinking and bragging, Tang's father always feels a little down.
Tang Juexiao is too young now, so small that it is difficult to do big things, but you can guide Dad Tang to do it!
Wait, no......
Dad Tang's personality is too easy to bully, he is the kind of person who treats his own brothers as his life and his friends as brothers, and he has a good face, such a character can be a good brother, but it is difficult to become a successful businessman.
Tang Juexiao recalled that in the past few decades, the brothers in the family have various pits more than a dozen times, and the various pits outside once or twice a year.
If a person is bullied once or twice, it may be someone else's problem, but every year, there are three or five "thrilling" events, and it is definitely their own problem.
But how did my family survive all these years?
Tang Juexiao's gaze slowly moved to his mother.
When Dad Tang was young, he could talk about another object, but the request of that object was to let Dad Tang not take his younger brother and they fly to the imperial capital together. In fact, this is the right thing to think, can't you also help the family if you make money? It's just that people at that time didn't think so long-term, so Dad Tang rejected her.
Tang's mother's reply was: "You are in charge of the family." ”
Tang Juexiao's grandmother is the kind of person who scares the whole world, including Mama Tang, Mama Tang can bear it.
Tang Juexiao's uncles also bullied Tang's father and Tang's mother, and Tang Juexiao must have fought back, but because it was Tang's father's younger brother, Tang's mother could bear it.
Slowly, Tang's mother began to be unable to bear it, Tang's father's salary card was in her hands, and she began to calculate the money.
Dad Tang didn't drink at first, didn't have much dinner, wouldn't buy hundreds of yuan at dinners, wouldn't go back to his hometown to eat and drink every few months, and didn't call his brothers and a dozen people to eat when he bought seafood.
Grandma said that he didn't help his brother, and his brother scolded him for being raised by his wife.
But just like that, the mother who picked the door raised a family of three in good health, bought two houses and a car, without any loans, and could still have money for Tang Juexiao to do business!
In a family, there must always be a more "selfish" person.
And Tang Ma is the kind of person who calls friends and responds to all calls, her selfishness is only for those who want to take advantage, but she is very generous to real friends, and the other party will respond.
As for my father, give my mother a shot, call my father can be the boss, and my mother has to decide...... Tang Juexiao gnawed on the pig's trotters and thought about her mother's life, "I think my mother seemed to be a weak girl who couldn't do anything at the beginning, but now I feel that she is so powerful, she can do anything! What turns a soft girl into a female man, is it time or ......love?"
Tang Juexiao slowly looked at his unsuccessful father, as if he had found the answer.

[Dare to send money to read the newspaper in the fifth grade of primary school, bought a copy of "Bronze Bell Gong" for 10 yuan, and gave me a copy of "Iron Sand Palm". When I went out today, I saw the employees of a hair salon practicing, and the familiar routine was my younger brother and sister...... If I hadn't been beaten up in my first year of high school, I guess I would have been able to practice for a few more years......]
