(24) The dispute over early love
Time is the same for everyone, not because you are a king, you will give you some, nor because you are a beggar, you will not be given less, there is nothing fairer in the world than time.
You can block the summer sun with an umbrella, but you can't stop the loss of time, you can wear a down jacket to resist the cold of winter, but you can't resist the loss of time, when the great love in the world is deviated, time has never been wrong, and it will slip away from you on time and at a uniform speed, and it will never stay for anyone.
Time is a unique thing, more tyrannical than law, it controls the course of history, and history cannot change it in any way, but no one says it is dictatorial, because it is the same for everyone.
Time was not created by man, it preceded man, preceded all living things. No one can harness it, it exists independently, it cannot be modified, and it cannot be suspended.
The river flows endlessly, and reaching the ocean is like coming home. And time is more tenacious than it, it is like a perpetual motion, it never stops. In the face of night and day, in the face of spring, summer and autumn and winter, never flinch, move forward bravely, like a god of war, there is no end.
People are born into the time tunnel, whether you want or refuse, everyone will receive a new and blank greeting card, spend a wonderful or lonely life, to the end of the oil lamp, the card will be invalid, but it records the merits of a person's life, let future generations comment.
Not only humans, but also birds, beasts, and as long as there is life, they will receive a new birth card from time.
Like the sun, it shines on all things, and no one can escape its fate. It has seen a lot of life and death, it never admires or pity, it moves forward, forward, and forever with unhurried steps.
If anyone takes that greeting card given by time and squanders it arbitrarily, it will achieve nothing, and there will be nothing left for future generations.
That greeting card was created for human beings, and by doing their best, they created a part of history, a part of the world, and a part of humanity.
In the long history of mankind, only a very few people can shine like the stars, and most people are as ordinary as the air. It's not wrong to say that it's all right, after all, I've been here, and it's not right to say that there is, no one feels it. There is no dispensable air and no star shines, just like the spire of the pyramid, which is nothing without the foundation below.
Through the unremitting efforts of generation after generation, everyone has burst out their own spark in their limited life, illuminated the pace of human progress, and evolved into the high-tech era.
There is no end to time, and there is no limit to evolution. In the face of ancestors, no one dared to squander their lives, and no one dared to squander their time.
Time is wasted, time slips through your eyes when you're in a daze, time slips through your tongue when you're chatting, and time passes through your bowels when you're drunk. You will regret the missed opportunity, you will make up for the missed opportunity, then time is your fame, time is your wealth, and time is the hymn of your life without regrets.
Time is everywhere, most of the time you don't care, sometimes you are very sensitive, the approach of death, the coming of fear, the arrival of new life, the infinite approach of success, even the blooming of a small flower, you can feel it subtly, that pain or joy.
Man and the world are not as good as a drop of water and the ocean, and time and man are no different from all things and the world, and there is no difference between small and great. Time dominates mankind, and mankind writes history. The clock is a spokesperson that human beings have artificially found for it, and human beings have tried everything they can to keep up with it. Time does not waste the word for the spokesperson of the form, and accurately moves forward, forward, and forever.
Wenzhu doesn't think so much about time, he only knows that in his lifetime, he is aggressive and never gives up. Face the reality and have the courage to assume your responsibilities and obligations. If one's own behavior can infect the people around him, it can be regarded as a small contribution to the evolution of human beings.
In fact, Wenzhu is only a minority in this world. The truth is also in the hands of a few, just like the price fluctuates up and down around the value, the value does not move at all, and patiently waits for the return of the price.
Xiaoxiao was infected, and immediately gave back to Wenzhu, like the sun shining in the mirror, the mirror immediately refracted from another angle, giving Wenzhu enough face.
At the end of the first semester of the third year of junior high school, he has firmly established the second position in the class, and the grade has also entered the top 20. In other words, if she can maintain this grade after graduating from junior high school, then she can enter any school she wants to enter in Longcheng High School, and she doesn't even need to take the high school entrance examination. It's not a small ultimate goal, she's like a climber, she's going to conquer the highest mountain in the world.
"Teacher, if one day, I will go abroad to study, are you reluctant?" Xiao Xiao said coldly, his eyes still browsing the book.
Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled: "Personally, of course I am reluctant." You are smart and smart, eager to learn, and I am even more reluctant to pay so much money for me to help me. But you don't belong to me, you don't belong to anyone else, you belong to that sky!"
Wen Zhu raised his head and pointed to the blue sky above his head, "You are an eagle, a soaring eagle! You can break through the sky and surpass lightning!"
Before chatting, the two were on the platform on the west side of the third floor, the platform was open for eight or nine square meters, closed with lighting materials, the outside was cold and shivering, the inside was warm like spring, and the heat of the sun poured in waves.
There is a table in the center, on which are brewed two cups of steaming tea, one small and one bamboo. Xiaoxiao buried in the cushions of the sofa and read a book comfortably, Wenzhu stood and looked out the window leisurely.
There is a small garden outside the courtyard of the villa, and in the middle of the small garden is a narrow stream, which is almost dry in the winter when it rains little, and the pebbles at the bottom of the water are clearly visible.
The creek is a green isolation belt, accompanied by a rockery, separated by a few weeping willows, without the softness of spring and summer. There is a small bridge across the stream, and about ten meters forward along the small bridge, there is a pavilion, and there are promenades on both sides of the pavilion, parallel to the stream. Except for the plum blossoms, all the flowers have failed, the buds are gaining momentum, the blooming Tufang, the colder the more arrogant, proud of the lonely, unparalleled in the world.
A few children played, and a few adults basked in the warm sun in a sheltered area. The small home is a view room, in the greenhouse on the third floor, with an unobstructed view of the scenery below. Here, the physical "greenhouse effect" is solved on the ground through hands-on experience.
"We're tied together, and those bonuses still don't reflect your abilities. ”
Xiaoxiao put down the book and looked up at the sky seriously, as if to find out if the sky had her mark. Wen Zhu looked up at her all the time, what was there to see in the sky in broad daylight? It turned out to be two huge white clouds, like two heads of men and women, if they were about to leave, they seemed to be telling something, and they seemed to be kissing.
"Teacher, look, those two clouds don't look like lovers are in love?"
Wen Zhu was shocked and replied to the question: "Well, it's like two bears fighting." ”
"Bears are so in love?"
"Yes, lovers fight like that. ”
I don't know whose heart was in turmoil, a gust of wind dispersed the clouds in the sky, and the sky was silent as gold. The sunlight came in silently, shining on the metal bars.
The two people in the greenhouse returned to their original state, reading a book in a small nest, as if they hadn't turned a page, and they always felt that something Mo Yan was rejecting the invasion of books.
The tutoring business is over in the morning, and the afternoon is free and easy. Wenzhu stayed at her invitation, and Wenzhu looked out the window again, his eyes still focused on the small garden, but he didn't have the previous leisure.
A little kid of three or four years old was running playfully on the path in the park, holding a toy like a windmill in his hand, and somehow, his foot tripped over something, stumbled a few times, and did not steady, and he stumbled down, and it seemed that he had fallen lightly.
When I was a child, I didn't experience falling and getting up, and I couldn't really grow up if I didn't fall. Wenzhu looked forward to the little boy standing up independently, and secretly cheered him on, and the little boy was also struggling hard.
At this juncture, grandma ran over, and when the grandson saw grandma, he seemed to see a savior and was sheltered, so he simply cried. All grievances are like lying on the ground, no longer striving for self-reliance. The grandmother helped her grandson up in distress, and while blowing the injured place with her mouth, she slapped the ground with her hand, and the ground was an out-and-out scapegoat, coaxing the baby until she didn't shed tears.
"Teacher, what country should I go to study?" Xiaoxiao couldn't read the book anymore and broke the silence.
"England is conservative but punctual, America is open but discriminatory, France is romantic but lazy, Germany is strict but rejects foreigners, Spain is amorous but unintentional, and little Japan is progressive but ruthless. Wen Zhu's eyes were still staring out the window until the child's back turned.
"Choose one of the six, you were sent by God to torture that thing on my neck, mess up its thoughts, and finally leave me in the country!" Xiao Xiao wanted to make the atmosphere more cheerful, teasing his head, and staring at Wen Zhu through the big and small thumbs representing the number six.
"I want to be so selfish and leave you in the country. But selfishness is the devil, harming others and misleading oneself. Go to America and see if Uncle Sam is as resilient as San Diego suggests. Wen Zhu gave advice and used the same gesture to give her a sheep's horn six.
"There is a goddess of liberty in the United States, and there is a free male god in China. If I stay in the country, it will not be because of your selfishness, but because of your charm!"
"Charm? It's just a part-time teacher, and the soil is scum. Wen Zhu deliberately dusted off his body, and the dust flew in the sun.
"Youth is a storm, and after the storm everything will be unrecognizable. Every child will no longer fall easily after countless falls, and youth will encounter countless setbacks, and they will cope with setbacks after crossing the past. The relationship is a mess of hemp, and after sorting it out, I found that it was a piece of clothing that suited me. Worship is a wall, and when you push it, you realize that there is a wider sky ahead. No one can stop you from moving forward, you are a happy arrow, whistling away, bringing joy and excitement to the world. ”
Wenzhu knocks on the side, some things can't be used as a stick, they need to be blocked in a roundabout way, like guiding a flood, they must be sparse but not blocked.
"I'm an arrow, an arrow that goes to the wind, an arrow that focuses on your eyes, an arrow that brings you happiness, a wonderful arrow, and since it's an arrow, can I shoot it at someone I like." ”
"Absolutely. In the ripe season, shoot at the lover of your long-awaited desire. ”
"Not now?"
"Absolutely not. Because you're not strong enough to heal yourself after being injured. ”
"I haven't tried it, how do I know I can't heal?"
"Human energy is limited. Now is the best time to learn and grow, and the rest can be moved backwards. It's like a raw peach, if you want to eat it, you have to have diarrhea after astringency. Why bother asking for trouble?"
Such conversations and debates are the norm for the two, but today the two of them pulled themselves in. For a while, as a person in the play, I was a little cramped and difficult to speak, and more often I talked like an outsider.
The short novel shows the entanglements, feelings, and thoughts in the recent stage of the heart. Wenzhu relieved her stress through chat and psychological counseling, and let her choose some things or emotions that have an impact on her life.
The thoughts that come out of the mind are not necessarily good, they may be evil, especially in the unstereotyped youth, where people balance their words and deeds by thinking, or by being a role model from the outside world.
Wenzhu hopes that through this conversation, Xiaoxiao will put away the hazy love swimsuit, don't swim on the beach, and do what at what age. Youth is beautiful, and the sixteen-year-old flower season is fragrant when you blow your breath. It stands to reason that Wenzhu has no right to interfere with small emotions, and indeed he did not interfere rudely, but only guided reasonably. Everything has to rely on a small understanding, and the bell must be tied to the bell.
"Teacher, is the topic of today's discussion the budding of love or the budding love?" Xiaoxiao took a few sips of hot tea, stretched her waist, and asked generously in a different posture. The oak tree in her heart seemed to move her behind other landscapes.
"The hesitation of youth is more pertinent. Wen Zhu said thoughtfully.
"You've been through it too?"
"No one can escape the troubles of the happiness entanglement of 'youthful beauty pimples'. ”
Xiaoxiao touched a not-so-conspicuous pimple on her lips and smiled, brushing her pale blonde hair. Just dyed after the winter vacation, it has to be restored to the original state after the start of school, although Wenzhu does not approve of this, but it will not interfere, the personality is like the plum in the cold winter, let it bloom.
Her golden hair shines even brighter in the sun, and her snow-white face can beat the snow without makeup. Natural whiteness, like a hibiscus out of the water, is the gift of the Creator, coupled with the charm of youth, can touch all the ugliness in the world.
Wenzhu's youth can be better than a small youth at the moment, but in the end, it is no match for a small youth. Youth is capital, who can compete with the army of time?
On the eve of the holiday, Wenzhu calculated the harvest of the year, yes, the year's efforts were not in vain. Looking at the balance on the paper, Wen Zhu leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands behind his head and smiled with relief.
The tutor's salary is 12,000, the bonus is 17,000, the salary income and bonus for work is 18,000, the boss's red envelope is 5,000, excluding the purchase of shares of 08,000, the brothers' living expenses and personal expenses are 9,000, plus the saplings in Chengbang are 26,000, totaling 61,000 for repaying debts. owed Chengbang 20,000, Dong Mei 30,000, and the other 20,000, Wen Zhu shook his shoulders, and the pressure was not as great as he imagined.
It's a big accident that the tutor has so much income, everything is fate, Xiaoxiao is an elf, and when he met Wenzhu, he surprised everyone.
If tutoring is made into an industry, the income should be more considerable, this thought flashed in Wen Zhu's mind, and it was fleeting.
The red envelope is also an accident, perhaps it is the discovery of Chen Jiaming's conscience, or it may be the embodiment of Wenzhu's hard work.
Wenzhu looked out the window, the lights outside the window were brilliant, year after year, year after year, year after year, but unfortunately his mother was no longer in the world.
Looking up at the deep sky, Wen Zhu secretly comforted his mother's spirit in the sky: "Mother, I have lived up to your expectations, I have the ability to carry this family on my shoulders." Wen Hui got another scholarship and graduated in a year and a half. Dad is recovering, and everything is fine at home. My work has seen the light of day, Dong Mei's business is still booming, and the two of us are going to get married after Wenhui graduates, and we will kowtow to you when the time comes. Mother, your soul will always be on my heart and will be closely connected with me. ”
Wen Zhu's eyes looked at the starry sky without blinking, as if waiting for his mother's response. Niang responded, a meteor crossed the sky, it was Niang's induction in heaven, and there were resolute tears in Wenzhu's eyes.
The next day, Wen Zhu got out of the car and just walked into the "Qianlimei Garment Store", and Cheng Bang also rumbled over on a sports car. The two looked at each other and smiled, and entered the store.
During the Chinese New Year, Dong Mei was the busiest time, so busy, busy with back pain, busy with overtime, under Dong Mei's care, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, which is probably also the characteristic of this industry.
The older ones usually drag their children's old clothes, and they always have to put on a new look in the new year. Children don't know the sadness of adults, the New Year always has to add new, fashionable, beautiful and generous, as for keeping warm is not the main thing. Adults are also happy, their own hardship is nothing, children are trendy and decent, and they are also the light on the faces of adults. "Saying that so-and-so child is decent, smart and clever" is more useful than praising so-and-so.
The usual money has to be calculated and calculated, one is broken into two, and the New Year will be released.
The two said hello to Dong Mei, Da Mei, and Xiao Qiao, and Wen Zhu changed a stubble of water for them and found a stool to sit at the table. Seeing Cheng Bang's eyebrows and smiling, he knew that he was mixing well, and he was busy enough in the Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years, and he had already settled down the tree farmers and flower farmers this year.
"Closed early this year?" Wenzhu asked.
"Thanks to you, there are still you and Dong Mei and her father's. Today I am the door-to-door service: the delivery of money. Cheng Bang raised his throat, "Dong Mei, will you bring back your father's flowers and trees?"
"Please, send it. By the way, help me say a few kind words to make my dad happy and jubilant for the New Year. Dong Mei was busy as she spoke.
"No problem. Although I can't say that the dead are alive, it is still possible to say that the straw is gold. It's a piece of cake to make your dad happy. "Chengbang's heart is smooth, and there is no bottom in his mouth.
"You blow it, anyway, you are not shy to blow to the sky, and you will not pay taxes if you blow the cowhide. Wenzhu squeezed.
The two of them talked nonsense in a serious way, making others laugh, including a few who came to pick up clothes.
After some idle talk, Wen Zhu told Cheng Bang about this year's harvest, Cheng Bang seemed to smell something again, and said: "Yu Xiaoxiao, this little girl is really good." Wenzhu, if you make tutoring an industry, your journey to realize your dream will be shortened a lot. With this live advertisement, there must be a market. ”
"Your thoughts are the same as I had last night, but I don't want to join the business. Small is an example, and I also believe that there is a market for this industry. But you have forgotten that the conversation we had at the beginning of the year? Education is everyone's business, but the pressure on students to study in school is already great enough, and the improvement of school appearance and form, auxiliary classes, etc., are all manifestations of society's eagerness for quick success. Knowing that this trend is not right, let's go to this troubled water again, it seems that our conscience is unreasonable. ”
"As long as you are a citizen of conscience, we are profit-seeking. Everyone has their own bottom line. Let's stop talking about this, will I give you the money?"
"Send me home. ”
"Okay. Take a section along the way and send you to the west. Cheng Bangyi was excited and sang the flavor of Beijing Opera.
It's a particularly cold day. As soon as you go out, the cold and merciless north wind howls in, lifts your clothes, ruffles your hairline, and whines and wants to lift you into the air like a humanoid kite, like that plastic bag whirling away. Like a beast with a razor-sharp sword, the north wind swept through the air, slashing the earth into countless holes.
People carried the wind in that mouth, with their collars or hats, and pushed it staggering, unable to control themselves, and wishing to carry a wall behind them on the road, and it would be brutally blown down. There can not be a single gap in the human body, it is pervasive, penetrates along the gap, sticks to your warm flesh, and cools you down in the cold winter wax moon.
That kind of cooling is not something that can be solved with one or two shivers, it is so cold that you call your father and mother, as if it is frozen, and it is satisfied to freeze you into an iceman. People had to try not to go out, they had to be armed to the point that they were airtight before going out, preferably with another layer of metal cover over their coat.
Some people would rather blow their noses from the cold than add an extra piece of clothing, and would rather have a demeanor than the temperature that is extremely prevalent among young men.
After a few minutes of galloping, Wenzhu sat behind Cheng Bang with his eyes closed, letting the wind go away like a nightmare, and when he got home, he still felt that his hands and feet didn't seem to belong to a part of his body. After some activity, the blood veins transmitted heat, and the numb hands and feet slowly woke up. Wen Hui sent hot tea in time to speed up the warmth of his body.
"The 20,000 is the sapling money, and the 20,000 yuan is the introduction fee. Cheng Bang, who had warmed his body, pushed the two stacks of money in front of Wen Zhu.
"Introduction fee?" Wen Zhu took twenty-six thousand and asked inexplicably as he stared at the twenty-thousand.
"I don't understand, it's the rule. It is called commission abroad, and it is also called benefit fee in China. Without you, Mr. Yu and I wouldn't be able to hit a shot in eight lifetimes. ”
"I didn't introduce it, I didn't make any effort, and I didn't know the rules. You have opened up the world with your own ability, Chengbang, and I can't take this money. Wen Zhu pushed the money over.
"If you are asked to take it, you will take it, why are you so awkward!" Cheng Bang pushed the money over again, "You will have more places to use the money in the future, pay off debts, get married, and buy a house。。。。。。 ”
Money is not a hot potato, Wen Changfa and Wen Hui opened their mouths and watched the money push back and forth, without saying a word.
Wen Zhu's heart was hot, but he said categorically: "I have received your heart." You don't know my temperament, if you recognize me as a friend, you will put the money away. Don't think I'm a friend, you leave now. "I'm too lazy to push the money.
Speaking of this, Cheng Bang thought about it for a while and wanted to tell the truth, but he was sorry for the person who entrusted him, this is the first year, and there are still two years. This Wenzhu is a cow's temper, why bother with money, there are such rules in the industry, no stealing, no robbery, no breaking the law. Cheng Bang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally stuffed the words in his stomach, put the money in his bag, and saved it for him first, and then dealt with it later. Then he drank the hot tea that Wen Hui had changed for him with just the right temperature. Wen Zhu looked at the clean desktop and smiled cleanly.
When he went out, Chengbang said to Wenzhu: "Little Nizi is not ordinary to you!"
Wen Zhu didn't hear the sound of the words, and deliberately said: "That's the eyes of people who understand mountains looking up at Mount Tai." ”
"Phew, don't come with me like this, what do you look up to? There may be other hidden secrets!"
"you! Wen Zhu remembered the discussion a while ago, and his heart still chuckled.
"No matter what, you can't lose Dong Mei, otherwise I won't be able to spare you kid. ”
"Dong Mei has me, so you don't have to worry about it. What is there to go to poverty with Ye Tingting. Come over for dinner later. ”
Cheng Bang rumbled and brought the dead leaves on the roadside to half a man's height, like a butterfly with folded wings and perched on the dead grass on the roadside. A gust of wind dances forward for a while, until it falls into a gap or gets stuck somewhere, and then stops.
Wen Zhu accompanied his father Wenchang to pay off debts, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, more than a dozen households. Although the money didn't save his mother's life, Wen Zhu was still respectfully grateful, and Wen Changfa was even more grateful, and the smoke kept coming.
At ten o'clock, the sun finally broke out of the clouds, and laid a layer of golden yellow on the earth, like wine mixed with water, which never tasted before, and wilted.
Cheng Bang arrived at Dong's house as soon as he slipped through the smoke, Dong Sanbao was settling accounts in the hall, wearing presbyopia, holding a cigarette in one hand, and "splitting the horn" with the other. His wife is making wontons, fresh meat filling, Dong Mei loves to eat. Seeing that Cheng Bang personally sent the money, the couple thanked him: "Little official, you are so busy at the end of the year, how much will you be delayed." If you squeak, we won't be able to get it. ”
"Uncle, aunt, I just came from Wenzhu's house, and I stopped by. Cheng Bang handed 20,000 flowers and trees to Dong Sanbao and said, "Count, 20,000." ”
"Young man, that's good!" Dong Sanbao took the money, didn't count it, and handed it to his wife. My wife went to the bedroom and came back to make a cup of hot tea for Cheng Bang.
"So-so. The blessing of Towen Bamboo helped me introduce the project. "Matching the marriage between Wenzhu and Dong Mei is the main purpose of Chengbang's trip.
"That kid has the ability?" San Bao spat out a cigarette and squinted his eyes to look at the back door, as if he could see the kid from Wenzhu across the river through the door panel.
"Absolutely. You know the little girl who came to pay New Year's greetings last year, right?"
"Yes. Sanbao nodded, remembering the small ones who sent Moutai and China last year, as well as the unbearable Wang Zonggui and the unbearable blind date, and couldn't help frowning.
"She is a student of Wenzhu, and after Wenzhu's *, she has risen from the bottom five in the class to the top twenty in the grade, more than a dozen classes. The salary and bonus of a tutor for a year are nearly 30,000 yuan. Cheng Bang tried his best to praise Wenzhu, but it was also the truth, without a trace of adding oil and vinegar.
"That's all, you didn't lie to me, old man!" Sambo's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
"Uncle, do you think I look like a liar? My parents are also farmers, and they are very sincere. You can ask your daughter, and you can also ask if you are a little one to pay New Year's greetings. Is it good for me to lie to you?"
"Nope. ”
"That's right. Wenzhu's student's father is a big one of the big money, engaged in real estate, and has hundreds of millions of family properties. He also invited me to have a meal with Wenzhu, the best restaurant in the city, mainly for Xie Wenzhu, I followed the light, and the project was given to me by him. The point is that there is not a penny in arrears, and it is not annoying at all. I still have 20,000 Wenzhu introduction fees here. ”
Cheng Bang took out another 20,000 yuan from his bag as he spoke, shook it in front of Dong Sanbao's eyes, and stuffed it into his bag.
Dong Sanbao was stunned when he heard this, how could this kid have such good luck, could it be that I lost my eyes? Is my previous dam construction unkind, and he still said so many ugly things. When you're old, what are you trying to do? If you can't keep up with the pace of the times, just watch from the sidelines. I really don't understand the affairs of young people, let them toss.
Sanbao was distracted, and the cigarette burned his hands before he hurriedly shook it off. When Dong Meiniang heard that her prospective son-in-law was so powerful, her eyes overflowed with brilliance, her hands were together, and she muttered: "It's okay now, it's okay now, the Wen family is going to turn over." ”
Cheng Bang watched every move of the couple, sang well in this play, dispelled their worries, let them witness the strength of my buddy, and cleared all obstacles for the marriage of Wenzhu and Dong Mei. To hell with the guise of being afraid of suffering, I'm still worried about my buddy's heart.
Seeing that the time was not early, Dong Meiniang stayed in Chengbang to eat wontons. Cheng Bang didn't shirk it, smelled the incense, and his stomach was rumbling with joy. A big bowl of wontons came up steamingly, and Cheng Bang devoured it, and it swept away in a while, and there was not even a drop of soup left. Dong Meiniang said to have another bowl, Cheng Bang said no, come back another day to enjoy the aunt's food, and said that the aunt's wontons are better than the chef of the hotel.
Dong Meiniang was so happy that the wrinkles on her forehead were also shinier than usual, and she seemed to be able to shine the brilliance of her youth.
