Tang Tiezhu led the ox cart back to the town, and the doctor on the way saw that he had not spoken, so he greeted him with a smile: "Big brother, you talk endlessly in front of your family, why don't you say a word on the way back?" I said the wrong thing and made you angry! Knowing why he was angry, he asked as if he was puzzled, obviously with a flirtatious attitude.

Tang Tiezhu was stuffy for a while, and said in a loud voice: "I talked too much in the main room, but now I don't want to say anything about it." ”

"Oh, that's right," the doctor nodded, and continued to think to himself, "Alas! Since I came to your house, I have been standing on the side and listening to your brothers theorizing and arguing with each other, and now I finally came out of your village and told me to shut up and not speak, which is really embarrassing. ”

Tang Tiezhu drove the ox cart, the whip in his hand stopped, and said, "Then what do you want to say?" ”

"I don't want to say anything either? I want to tell you a story! ”

"You say I'll listen?" Tang Tiezhu thought to himself, he didn't want to speak, but the doctor had nothing to say, so he said that he was listening, why not.

The doctor touched the medicine box he was carrying with him with his hand and said: "The story goes like this, once upon a time, there was a man, when he passed through the steep mountain road, he accidentally fell into the deep valley, thanks to grabbing a small branch on the cliff wall, the person hung in mid-air, up and down the dilemma, and his life was in danger...... Suddenly, he saw the compassionate Buddha standing on a cliff looking at him, and when he saw the savior, he immediately begged the Buddha and said, "Buddha! I can't take it anymore, be merciful, save me! ”

The Buddha said, "I can save you, but you have to listen to me, so that I can save you." At this point, he said, "I listen to you, I listen to you!" Then the Buddha said, "All right! In that case, you immediately let go of the hand that grabbed the branch! ”

When the man heard this, he thought to himself, as soon as I put my hand down, I will inevitably fall into the abyss, and I will fall to pieces, where can I save my life? Therefore, he clung to the branches even more and shook his head again and again...... The Buddha saw that he was obsessed and said, "Willing, willing, giving, giving, daring to give, not reluctant!" And the opportunity to be born again was gone from him.

Seeing that Tang Tiezhu, who was carrying him, did not speak, and continued: "You are the little branch, your family is the man, there are many things in the world like this hand that grabs the branch, on the other hand, you and your family, because when you "let go" and let go of them, so that they no longer rely on you to live, you have achieved that ordinary people dare not make a big sacrifice. ”

Tang Tiezhu didn't squeak for a long time, thinking while driving the ox cart.

The doctor deliberately stopped for a while and didn't speak, and after a while, Tang Tiezhu pulled the cow rope to stop the car, turned around and said solemnly to the doctor: "Thank you for your guidance." ”

In fact, on the way back, he was still unconsciously worried about the people in the main room, so he didn't want to talk to people, but he was held by the story told by the doctor on the road.

The doctor, who was still speaking seriously, immediately changed his tone, and said with a nonchalant smile: "So, whenever something and something is bothering your mind, please recite Amitabha." After that, he also gave Tang Tiezhu a demonstration and said, "Amitabha." ”

Seeing the doctor's cynical appearance, Tang Tiezhu's face turned green again, turned around and continued to lead the ox cart, thinking: I must have been wrong just now, how do I think what he said makes a big sense?

The doctor sat on the ox cart, didn't care what Tang Tiezhu was thinking, and opened his mouth wide and said: "Give up your ill-gotten gains, what you get is the freshness of being a human being, Amitabha!" Giving up fame and fortune, what you get is a calm and true life, and you don't have to always endanger yourself with gains and losses, Amitabha! Give up the painful love and get the opportunity to be reborn, Amitabha! Give up the shadow of mediocrity and get a beautiful state of mind, Amitabha! ”

Although the doctor's speech was a little upside down, and after chewing carefully, everything was reasonable, but he didn't want to show his admiration like just now, otherwise the doctor wouldn't know what crazy words to say.

After a while, the doctor didn't see Tang Tiezhu still speaking, and said to himself: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust." ”

After returning to the town while speaking, Tang Tiezhu pulled him to the door of the pharmacy, stopped the car and said, "Doctor, you are tired today!" Then he took out of his bosom a tael of silver and gave it to him.

The doctor was not polite, but he came back directly, opened his mouth to speak, Tang Tiezhu hurriedly intercepted the topic and said: "There are still things at home, so I will no longer talk to the doctor about homely things, when the doctor has time to come home, I will definitely have a few drinks with you, now it's not too early, this is goodbye,"

The doctor smiled and said, "Big brother, why didn't I hear you say that on the road,"

Tang Tiezhu's scalp tightened and said, "Temporary, temporary," After speaking, he hurriedly got on the ox cart and went home.

The doctor looked at Tang Tiezhu's fleeing back and smiled and couldn't close his mouth, just when an apprentice sent the patient out, he saw him and said, "Master, you are finally back, don't you know how many patients are waiting for you to see this morning?" ”

The doctor patted the apprentice's forehead and said, "Let's go, go into the house, and see the patient." ”

Some of the monks couldn't touch their heads, and stumbled: "Okay, good." He was taken back to the shop by his master and continued to treat patients and grab medicine.

After Tang Tiezhu went home, he saw Brother Xiang making a cabinet in the courtyard and said to him: "You put the ox cart in the cowshed and tie it up." And he shook the dust off his body and entered the house, Li sat in the main hall with the taro, watched the dust of the house come back, and said, "The matter is solved?" ”

"That's what you said!" Tang Tiezhu glared at his mother-in-law, how could he ask such a question that he didn't want to answer.

Li Shi sighed and stopped asking, Tang Tiezhu sat down and drank a cup of tea, seeing that his mother-in-law really didn't ask him anymore, he was a little uneasy, and said: "You really don't ask," people are cheap tempers, when others ask you in a good voice, you don't want to answer, people really don't ask, and you feel uncomfortable.

Li Shi hugged the child in his arms, glanced at him and said, "You have a bad breath, how dare I ask." When he said this, his tone was one of love and ignorance.

Tang Tiezhu touched his head and sighed: "As Qing'er expected, our father is pretending to be sick." ”

"And then?" Seeing the happy expression between his eyebrows and eyes when he entered the house, he knew the result, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Then I made it clear to my father, and explained it to the third and fourth children," he sighed and continued: "In the future, it will really be a bridge to a bridge and a road to a road." ”

"In that case, why did you come back with a smile," as it used to be, shouldn't the head of the house be depressed at this time?

"Isn't this when the second child came to the house, Liang'er found a doctor for him to take back to the village to see his father's illness? The doctor kept talking on the way back, I felt uncomfortable, but after listening to his words, there was indeed some truth, and my heart was opened. ”

"No wonder, I thought ...... "I thought you were reconciled with the main house again, and I was thinking about how to toss with you?"

When Tang Tiezhu returned home, he saw that there was no one in the main hall, so he asked, "Why did the babies go?" ”

"After you leave, Liang'er goes to Xun'er's, and the girls in the family are staying in their own rooms?"

"Oh, that's it," Tang Tiezhu thought that when he came back, the children in the family would lean forward and ask him how he went to the main room, who would have expected...... No one paid any attention to him.

Li thought of going to the main room alone, but he was not persuaded by them with so many mouths, and said with a smile: "Whatever you want to eat at night, I'll make it for you." ”

Tang Tiezhu raised his eyebrows and said, "How can it be so good?" ”

Li said lightly: "The family matter is over, and now the rest is Qing'er's marriage, why don't you make me happy, so let's have a good meal at night." ”

"Well, listen to you,"

Li is the kind of person who is vigorous and resolute, after speaking, he stood up and put the taro in the arms of the master, and walked to the kitchen to see if there are still those ingredients at home, and can make a few good dishes.

After Li left, Tang Tiezhu went to Qing'er's room with the taro in his arms, and when he saw her bowing her head and embroidering her wedding dress, he smiled and said, "It's rare that my daughter can sit on a stool, it's not easy,"

Hearing this, Tang Qing'er's face turned crimson, and she said coquettishly; "Dad, why are you kidding your daughter,"

"Okay, okay, Daddy won't talk about it!"

Tang Qing'er asked, "Dad, how are things going back to the village?" ”

"Sure enough, as you said, they teamed up to deceive your second uncle, and your second uncle knew the whole story from their mouths, so he kept looking down and didn't dare to look at me, feeling sorry for me, but fortunately, not long after your second uncle left our house, you asked me to go back with him as well, otherwise where would I know this." Tang Tiezhu teased the taro, and his attitude was a bit light when he talked about it.

"Dad, don't be sad! You are not only a family member in the main house, you still have us, we will always honor you. Tang Qing'er didn't know what her father thought in his heart, but his face was fine, so he put the heart back in his stomach.

"Oh, yes, Daddy! Did you send him back to the pharmacy, doctor? ”

When it came to this doctor, Tang Tiezhu's face was black and blue, blue and purple, unpredictable, Tang Qing'er didn't know what the doctor and her father were on the way back, so she said carefully: "Dad, what's wrong with you." ”

Tang Tiezhu also knew that his face was a little bad, so he said in a slow tone: "It's okay, I have sent the doctor back to the pharmacy, don't worry." ”

"Oh, good!" Tang Qing'er didn't dare to answer any further, looked at the taro in his father's arms and said, "Mother is going to do something." ”

"Your mother said she was going to celebrate in the evening, and she was making a big fuss in the kitchen?"

Tang Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Mother, I'm so happy,"

"Well," although the mother-in-law said that it was to celebrate Qing'er's marriage, he still knew that the mother-in-law was happy to officially leave the main house, and said: "You help your father bring the taro for a while, and I will go to the kitchen to help your mother with her work." ”

"Okay," Tang Qing'er took the taro in her father's arms and nodded with a smile.
