Chapter Eighty-Three: You Pingyao

Although I patiently persuaded Wu Xuewen every day, he just refused to return to his mother. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Two children are quiet and noisy, one sticks to the computer and can't get down, one wants to run out every day, one likes to eat rice and fish, the other likes to eat noodles and pork, and I haven't been tired to death for half a month. Wu Daren called me to give me 2,000 yuan a month for nanny fees, I said okay, I don't want to earn your money, it's important to save my life!

What's even more frustrating is that school is out for the summer. Naturally, the two children look forward to the holidays every day, and I am afraid of the school holidays. Fortunately during the school day, the two children were locked up in school for at least eight hours during the day, and now that the holidays are over, the world is even more chaotic.

For most families, traveling with children during the summer vacation is inevitable. Despite the scorching sun, it was impossible to keep the children at home every day during the two-month holiday. Especially for me, I need to take my two children out to play. Going out to play can distract Yang Yang from dispersing the depression that has accumulated in his heart because he can't be a class leader. Going out to play can also further bring me closer to Wu Xuewen and make it easier for him to listen to my advice.

Fortunately, Lu Tao's business is getting better and better, not to mention the expansion of the stall, not to mention, he also hired two salesmen, so that he has relatively free time, and on the other hand, he has more money to take home.

Lu Tao promised to go to the ancient city of Pingyao with us for a day. At first, I was very happy, but without his help, I didn't dare to travel with my two children alone. But the night before departure, I was unhappy again, because Lu Tao said that he would take Liu Jia and Kai Kai with him!

Lying on the bed, I nagged Lu Tao again: "I don't understand, is it me and my two children going out with you and Liu Jia, or is Liu Jia going out with us? Who are you mainly playing with? Do you mainly want to play with Liu Jia's mother and son?"

"During the day, Liu Jia and I mentioned by the way that we were going to Pingyao, and she said that she wanted to go with us. Lu Tao said.

"By the way, you must have taken the initiative to invite people to come!"

"They are orphans and widows, why can't you get along with them? Liu Jia is still your old classmate!"

"So let's take all the orphans and widows with us?"

"Okay, do you want to take Liu Jia with you, I'll call her now and tell her not to follow us tomorrow?"

"You're a complete villain, always letting me play bad roles!"

"Then since you want to be a good person, why do you always run Liu Jia?"

"Are you mistaken? Isn't it Liu Jia who is squeezing me?"

"Are you so unconfident? Do you think Liu Jia can also squeeze you?"

"Okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore, just count the money back for me every month, money is the last word!"

"I heard you say that, and there is money left between the two of us?"

"That's because of you, you make me feel this way so often!"

……

As soon as I talked to Lu Tao, it was the second half of the night, and when the alarm clock rang at six o'clock in the morning, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes.

We took the morning train to Pingyao, and I talked and laughed with Liu Jia along the way. I am also very puzzled by my own two-facedness, why I am rejecting her in my heart, and on the surface I still have to show the enthusiasm of my classmates and girlfriends for more than ten years? What is there that makes me unable to pull my face and tear my skin? Maybe life is like this, true and false. Some truths are just words, and it is difficult to really follow any principles.

It was not yet eight o'clock when I arrived at Pingyao Railway Station. Taigu Pingyao is adjacent to each other, the distance is very close, it only takes half an hour to take the train from Taigu to Pingyao.

The train station is a typical microcosm of the world, where you can meet rich people and beggars in rags. You see, there are piles of migrant workers sitting on the ground. They wander around the city with huge packages and young children, especially when they squeak and eat buckets of instant noodles, and you see that they are very satisfied, as if they finally don't have to drink the porridge of their hometown. But they don't know that they are being poisoned by the junk food of convenience, just as the heavily polluted air and greedy people in the cities have only a corrosive effect on them. Seeking differences and change is the initial driving force for the development of the world, and people always want to try different things. But some migrant workers come to the city and are not necessarily richer than in the countryside, but they want to come in and feel this strange world. Migrant workers who take their children out to work are considered conscientious and responsible people, while those who throw their children to the elderly and come out to mix the world in the name of earning money to support their families are not worthy of respect. I don't think any reason is a reason to leave a child who does not have a duty of care for them. I'm sure there are a lot of people who think I'm biased because they think there are a lot of things that are more important than children. And I think that for a child, since you gave birth to him, you have to be responsible for him, you have to take care of him to grow up, or you don't give birth to him.

And those who sit alone on the ground, especially those with a basin or bowl in front of them, are beggars. When Yang Yang saw a few beggars, he immediately took out change from his pocket and put it in the basin in front of them. It is customary for me to give each beggar a few gross tickets or coins.

"Don't give it to them, they are all fake beggars, I heard that they have built buildings in their hometown. "Liu Jia was very shrewd to dissuade me and Yangyang's behavior.

I didn't listen to Liu Jia's advice, and still went my own way, handing out money to the beggars one by one. In fact, when a row is distributed, it will give out more than ten yuan. I don't care if a beggar is true or not, I think that as long as you stretch out your hand to beg someone, you are a beggar, and it is not only penniless people who are qualified to be beggars. Anyway, if I give money to a beggar as soon as I see him, it is a help to a beggar who really has no money, and for a person who is a beggar as a profession, it is equivalent to paying him a salary, he is begging, are you not his boss? If you don't pay him a salary, who will pay him? Besides, if you expose a really penniless beggar, you will regret it. A psychiatrist once said that charity is a disease, and sometimes helping others is not just about getting them out of trouble, but about comforting one's own restless and anxious heart. But I don't give much, not only because I'm not rich, but also because I don't want to be lazy. Yang Yang is also such a person, not the result of my education of him, but his nature. The first time he gave alms to beggars, he did so spontaneously, and he himself had this strong willingness to help and sympathize with the weak. I certainly have no objection to such behavior on his part.

"Leave her alone, she can't sleep at night if she doesn't give money to people. Lu Tao said to Liu Jia.

As soon as we got out of the train station, our group of six people was surrounded by taxi drivers, motorcycle drivers, and manpower tricycle drivers, and then we chose manpower tricycle drivers, because rickshaws are more compatible with the ancient city of Pingyao, and only by sitting on the rickshaw can you enjoy the ancient city slowly.

Taigu and Pingyao are also ancient cities, the difference is that the ancient city of Pingyao has developed into a world-famous tourist attraction, while Taigu is not in line. Some people say that it was because the people of Pingyao were poor and could not afford to demolish the house or build the building, but preserved the ancient buildings. And Taigu got rich first in the era of agriculture, earned two dollars and began to demolish the house, until the Taigu was demolished to be ancient, not foreign, often the green building is pasted with tiles outside, the dance hall is opened under the eaves, and the cement is paved in the ancient alley, unlike Pingyao, which retains the original appearance of the Ming and Qing dynasties. I heard that the Taigu government intends to restore the original appearance of the ancient city, I am very worried, because I know that the damaged ancient buildings cannot be restored, if a lot of money is spent to build a fake ancient city, it may not be able to attract many tourists, and what is more fatal is that no matter how it is restored, Taigu is destined to be unable to surpass Pingyao. The restoration of the ancient city is just a reason for some officials to spend state money, and it is unknown how much benefit it will bring to the people of Taigu after restoration. In fact, the residents of Taigu do not have much hope for this.

After the development of industry, commerce and swimming, Taigu soon became a poor county, and the 10,000 households in the countryside have long been submerged by the 100 million households that have opened factories and mining today. Therefore, in addition to opening the history and talking about a few wealthy businessmen in Taigu during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is nothing else worth showing off.

When we walked to the Ming and Qing Dynasty streets in Pingyao, we walked in. It's not because this street is a pedestrian street, but because if you don't walk, you can't see what the culture was like in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

I'm a nostalgic person, and some people say that if a person is prone to nostalgia, it means that his mentality is aging, is that really the case? I'm also open to trendy things, but I also like to live a way of life close to nature. If you wear a cloth coat and a pair of cloth shoes to walk on the street of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the ancient city of Pingyao, you will feel that you have escaped from the smoke and dust, which is very refreshing and elegant.

I walked slowly, almost touching the street with my fingers. This deep ancient rhyme is worth reading carefully. Lu Tao and Liu Jia quickly went back and forth on this street, and finally they came to the conclusion: What is there to see here? Isn't it just a few old houses? This is the difference between me and the two of them, I think they can only spend ten minutes visiting places that they can't swim in a day. Sometimes, I do feel that Lu Tao and Liu Jia have a lot in common, and maybe the two of them are more suitable to be husband and wife.

I bought gifts for all three of my children, the kind of antiquities that were placed on the side of the road, and of course these random things that were sold outside were just handicrafts, and of course they were not the same age as the houses on the side of the road.

In addition to watching and playing, our other main content is to eat! We ate all the way, first ate Pingyao Wantuo, and then ate wheat noodles and grandma, buckwheat noodles and corn flour wotou, etc., and when we walked from this end of the street to that end, everyone's stomach was already bulging.

It's just that the weather is so hot, the sun is so hot that it can almost roast people, and sweat keeps oozing from my forehead, and I want to wait until I return to work on Monday, and I will be African again. However, sweating has the advantage of losing weight. I've been getting fat since I got married, and now Lu Tao reminds me to lose weight. And Liu Jia is the kind of person who can't get fat, and her figure is as thin as when she was in high school.

We didn't go in to visit the county office and a few dart bureaus because these places are charged. I can imagine what it's like inside without going in, and there are often shots like this on TV.

It was six or seven o'clock in the evening when I returned to Taigu from Pingyao, and Liu Jia also went home with us, and I only made a pot of millet porridge for everyone to drink at night, because what I ate in Pingyao during the day has not been digested. (To be continued.) )
