Chapter 378: A Story of Happiness
Gao Shenghan returned to the empty dormitory, put down bananas and apples on the desk.
Once, twice, three times, Gao Shenghan heard "your call was not answered".
I couldn't figure out whether the master deliberately didn't answer the phone, or what was going on, so the anxious Gao Shenghan moved the computer off the bed and turned on the phone to leave a message for the master.
Master: "What are you talking about?" Gao Shenghan was confused for a while.
A teacher for one day and a father for life, Gao Shenghan can't question or blame his master.
The master is a careful man, an elder who pushes his heart to others, and he can understand the bitterness of young people distributing advertisements on the sidewalk, how can he ignore the feelings of his apprentices?
"Master: I have just returned from your residence and know that you have left Shanghai. I know you deliberately didn't tell me in advance because you were worried about bothering me to run around. I know that you left Shanghai in a hurry to completely discourage me from doing this business. I will make a new choice when the time is right, please tell me where your next pier is, and don't interrupt our contact, okay?"
Gao Shenghan was carefully considering the words, and Sister Gui came in.
"Xiao Gao, where have you been in the morning, why didn't I see you when I came here just now?"
"I went to see Master Jiang, and Master Jiang left. β
"I think he's gone a long time ago, and his salary is not as much as that of a little girl, so stay here and be angry. Where did he go?"
"I don't know, I'm asking him. Sister Gui, why don't you leave?"
"My house is close to here, come to work, and it's boring to stay at home in the province. Shall we change shifts tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you just take a break?"
"You rest, I don't want to rest. β
"Why? Rest at home and cook something delicious, and then, the family gets together to eat mooncakes and admire the moon. β
"My husband's family, his parents, and his sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law are a total of ** people, thinking that I came here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was annoyed, I told them that I would go to work tomorrow. β
"What class do you go to, will they not know?"
"Yes, so I'm here to talk to you. You have a day off today and tomorrow, and I will rest the day after tomorrow, is that okay?"
"But, ,------" Gao Shenghan was a little embarrassed, because he promised Juzhen Huang that he would go to work at Zhenzhen Beauty and Health Club the day after tomorrow.
"What will happen to you? I told my husband, you go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, to reunite with your family, so let's do it, did you buy these fruits? I'll take some to the store and eat them. β
Seeing Sister Gui reaching into the plastic bag, Gao Shenghan said, "You can take it all, I don't usually eat fruit." β
"No, no, I have a lot of fruits at home, I got the moon cakes, is it enough? Not enough, I brought some over after dinner." β
"I really don't need to, I'll rest tomorrow, it's okay. β
Looking at the back of Sister Gui going out, Gao Shenghan was overwhelmed with emotion. He really understands the shrewdness and careful calculation of Shanghainese.
Gao Shenghan remembers that his father told him about a trip to Shanghai that he personally experienced.
My father said: I just transferred to the Public Security Bureau, and once two people went to Shanghai on a business trip and met a young intellectuals who had gone up the mountains and countryside in the village before becoming a soldier.
The educated youth was about the same age as me back then, and we quickly became friends, and then I went to the army, and then the educated youth returned to the city. Twenty years later, we met in Shanghai, and of course we had the joy of meeting our old acquaintances in a foreign land.
The educated youth repeatedly invited me to his house as a guest, but the two of us went together.
At noon, I had dinner at a friend's house of the educated youth, and the educated youth said that his house was too crowded, and he bought vegetables, and today there were four dishes and one soup, and the friend's house was spacious.
Walking through the smoky alley, smelling the thick smell of soot from the briquette stove, the smell of vegetable oil, and of course, the fragrant smell of vegetables, followed the educated youth to his friend's house.
The educated youth said that his friend's house was spacious, and I disagreed anyway.
The living room of his friend's house, to be honest, was not a hall at all, but a smaller alley, and when he walked into a bedroom that was half smaller than a normal stairwell, he climbed up to the attic to make it a little more spacious, that is, four people could sit on the floor around a low dining table.
Soon, four dishes and one soup were on the table, and I couldn't help but secretly complain when I saw those four dishes.
The dishes are good, there are fish, meat, small greens, and tofu cubes. It doesn't matter if the fish is small, it doesn't matter if the meat is a phoenix claw, the problem is that all plates can't be called plates, but should be called plates.
- That's a real piece of cake.
If it's me, it doesn't matter, I brought my colleagues with me.
But I was amazed by the next arrangement of the educated youth.
Zhiqing said, this small fish, we have two per person, two green vegetables, two per person, two phoenix claws, and two tofu cubes per person.
Obediently, listening to him say this, we really don't think it's less, and it feels a little too much.
This is what my father told Gao Shenghan to hear, a typical Shanghainese typical budget. However, for Sister Gui's excuse for reuniting with her relatives at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I think it's a bit too much!
Sister Gui left not long ago.
"Are you at work today?"
"I'm resting today, Sister Xu, what are your instructions?" Gao Shenghan tried to make himself more relaxed and natural.
"Is it going to work or rest tomorrow?"
The normal situation tomorrow is to go to work, can Yingshanhong not know?"What do you say?"
"Don't be sloppy, go to work tomorrow or rest?"
Gao Shenghan has no habit of telling lies, "Let's rest tomorrow." β
"I'm in Shanghai at twelve o'clock tonight, can you come to the train station to pick me up?"
"You, Sister Xu, what are you doing in Shanghai?"
"You won't say you don't want to pick me up and let me walk outside alone in the middle of the night, right?"
"Really?"
"Lie to you is a puppy, I have arrived at the train station, get on the train immediately, you don't tell anyone, if Sister Lian and E'e ask you, you will say you don't know. Do you hear that?"
"Listen, hear. Hearing a busy sound coming from the mobile phone, Gao Shenghan immediately became dizzy.
Gao Shenghan chose to go to bed like Tang Wucub, sleeping is really a good way to get rid of troubles.
Gao Shenghan woke up, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, he was suspicious of what Ying Shanhong said, after eating dinner and washing, he turned on the computer again, wanting to see the master's message.
The master replied to him: I put the cover at Mr. Zheng's house last night, and went home early in the morning for an old classmate reunion. I was very happy today, drank a little wine, wrote a poem, almost in one go, you see, tell me what needs to be revised.
"The Story of Happiness"
The breeze chirps cicadas in the middle of the night
In the Mid-Autumn Festival when the leaves are colorful,
Thousands of miles away, I went back to my hometown.
The hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River where the warbler cries green and red,
In the red earth of Wu Chu.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival,
More than 20 elementary school students,
Everyone gathers together,
With emotion and laughter
With the joy of reunion after a long absence,
It pays tribute to our green years.
The past is like smoke, and the years are like songs,
lingering in my mind,
There is the happiness of the year in front of me and in a hurry......
At that time, the country was poor and white;
At that time, life barely solved the problem of food and clothing;
At that time, my father's salary was only 39 yuan.
39 yuan to feed a family.
Were the children happy at that time?
Some!
Happiness at that time has always nourished my heart.
At that time, the door was opened every day,
The beauty of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River comes into view.
Walking down the steps, less than twenty meters from the gate,
It's a pool of clear water,
Nestled next to the city are green rice paddies.
The way to school is only about a kilometer.
We're going to cross two wooden bridges,
and countless small ditches.
There is no dirty air on the road,
The smell is earthy, rice flowers;
I can't see the flooding of white pollution,
What you see is a pothole where there is water,
There are little fish that are as cheerful as our children.
Children who go to school and have a family pick up and drop off are happy,
Is there happiness for children who have no one to pick them up?
Our childhood was never picked up by anyone,
Accompanying us are our neighbors' friends,
We are accompanied by small stones on the road,
And the little fish in the ditch by the roadside,
There is also a refreshing breeze that comes and goes,
Oh, childhood after school,
Our happiness is boundless, happiness is boundless.
Back then, we played slingshot and hide-and-seek.
At that time, the teacher did not charge money for make-up lessons.
At that time, the teacher always asked us to practice the words.
At that time, there were no quality classes,
The small pond at the door is our "battlefield",
No one to accompany you, no swimming instructors,
With four or five friends,
We can muddy the pond water,
can make the fish in the pond dizzy,
A summer to defeat the pond and the big ditch and the river,
We walked to the Yangtze River......
What is the meaning of life?
Is it a success?
Or is it a snowstorm?
The meaning of life is simply put,
It's about finding happiness.
Where is the happiness?
Many times, happiness is really simple,
Don't even have to look for it.
Push open the door of the big box of the "Taste and Taste" hotel,
A dozen or twenty childhood friends,
And the enlightened teacher,
They greeted me who was late,
At that moment, the enthusiasm that came to the face,
Let me see that the box is full of happiness!
More than 30 years that disappeared in the blink of an eye,
My two little friends who don't guess,
We were able to get back together,
Do you feel that happiness is just around the corner?
Time flies, time is like an arrow,
The ignorant children of the year,
Now one by one, the temples are like frost,
Tears of happiness,
There are good reasons to blur our eyes.
The sea of people is vast, acquaintance is fate,
Five and a half years of books together,
Laughing together for more than a thousand days,
That is the indissoluble fate of the past and this life,
More than 50 people got married on the same day,
- A great blessing.
The sky is south and the earth is north, and the stars are moving,
It's not easy to meet.
But a lot of times,
As long as you pay attention,
We'll all find that
Happiness often comes very simply, very simply.
The enlightenment teacher shed tears before he finished speakingββ
Burns like a candle,
An obscure teacher like a plantain,
Their happiness is simpler:
Back then, those young and ignorant children,
Today I just haven't forgotten them,
In their hearts, there are red mountains all over the mountains in full bloom!
An old yellowed photo,
Teacher Chai, who has been teaching for three and a half years,
He took it out of the crumpled plastic bag,
We have cheers from the inside out,
A teacher who is over the age of old,
He had uncontrollable tremors in his hands,
At that moment, happiness belongs to you, me and him,
At that moment, happiness belongs to our sixteen rows,
A home that we all share.
After reading Master Jiang's story about happiness, Gao Shenghan was deeply moved, knowing each other is fate, is Yingshanhong really here?
She obviously came this time to hide Sister Lian and them, it goes without saying, if she really comes, what will happen between them? Will it be a happy story?
