Chapter 343
It was originally a positive term for the light and dust, but it was confused with the derogatory term of "going with the flow" by later generations. The so-called people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. But you can't go anywhere low, where you go dirty. And one follows, the other chases, and can't be their own masters at all. This seems too blind and helpless, but this can't be used as an excuse, life is not easy, life is not easy, life is not easy, life is not easy, and there must be a bottom line in life.
In this material world, there are many temptations: illustrious fame, abundant profits, gorgeous clothes, delicious food, and charming colors, which may arouse people's associations, stimulate people's desires, and make people confused. Let's ask the general public, and the one that can withstand it.
In the face of the temptation of materialism, the indifferent will think more, not mess up, and deal with it calmly. It is not easy to maintain an indifferent life. If a person does not have lofty ideals in life, does not have the attitude of "never regretting the gradual widening of his belt", and does not have the courage to break with worldly prejudices and selfish desires, it is difficult for him to become a strong person in an indifferent life. Life is rare and indifferent. Indifference is the mentality of getting rid of the shackles of fame and fortune, the transcendent realm away from the hustle and bustle, and the sublimation of the soul and spirit. "Virtue is great, and there is no desire to be strong." It's not easy to be a human being.
Taoism, like Confucianism and Buddhism, has the spirit of Shushi (Jishi), but Taoism insists on the truth of following the trend and retiring after success. This is the Taoist concept of light and dust.
Having said so much, there is no need to remind my father to know that there is a cat here, and no one in Yunxian County knows that he doesn't drink or smoke, so he picked up something and dealt with it immediately.
As for how my dad dealt with the family, I didn't ask, no one would be disturbed by this little thing during the New Year, and nothing happened after that, at least in Fang Monan's opinion, it was calm and quiet, it can be seen that my father had strangled it in the bud and did not stir up a ripple.
"The first dumpling is the first two sides. The first three sons of the family turn (to earn home)".
The second aunt and their family came back, and went back to their parents' house, according to the custom, the second year of junior high school wanted to eat noodles, and the picture was smooth. It means that the year is smooth. The lo mein in the second year of junior high school has more ingredients than the previous lo mein. The materials for brining should be complete. There should be many varieties of dishes. The colors should be bright. There are carrots, bean sprouts, cabbage, daylily, gluten, shrimp, dried fragrant, fungus, cucumber. Strive to look good and eat deliciously. Get a good jackpot for a good life in the new year.
After eating big fish and meat for a few days, I changed it to a light stomach.
"Wow...... This one is so delicious, I want to die of noodles. Auntie looked at the big bowl of noodles served and said excitedly.
The others were amused by her exaggerated appearance. My mother smiled, "You can eat noodles without you abroad." She tossed the noodles from her bowl. Besides, you can't cook, sugar and salt don't separate, don't you know how to cook! She remembered when Qi Qiushi didn't go to work in the factory. In the village, he is a famous chef, and in the countryside, he does not go to a restaurant for a red and white wedding like people in the city, but invites a chef to help the chef and hold a banquet in his own yard. Farmers usually provide their own meat and vegetables when they hold banquets. It's all homemade, and then the cook is asked to prepare the dishes, and the young man is asked to serve the plates. When the matter is done, the patron gives some gifts to the cook and the young man who serves the plate.
"Huh...... You've eaten less! Qi Qiushi said with a smile. I didn't do less. ”
"That's different, it tastes different." The aunt's nose was a little sour, and she said hoarsely. She took a deep breath and said, "It's not good to take their noodles seriously when you're abroad, because you'll be treated like a pig." As she spoke, she took a bite of the noodles and put them in her mouth, and the sound was a bit similar.
"Haha...... everyone was eating noodles and couldn't help but laugh
"Laugh at anything, everyone is the same." The aunt glanced at the audience and said, "I didn't think that after Nannan left, life would be very difficult. ”
"Really, Xiaoyan has been languishing for a few days, and nothing is fragrant to eat, so I made a hand-rolled dough and served it to her." Qi Qiushi said with a grin, "Guess what." ”
"Alright, don't sell it." Grandma urged. Everyone else pricked up their ears and listened.
Qi Qiushi said unhurriedly, "She just started eating, not to say that it tasted wrong, but later!" She took off her shoes, squatted on a chair, and ate merrily. ”
"I've done this before." Dad sighed, "It's nostalgic! This way of eating can bring out the sweetness of the meal and the relaxation after fatigue. Everyone else nodded, it seems that this has happened, especially in the summer, it is simply too common, except for Han Zhiqian.
Old Man Lin said with a smile, "Actually, squatting to eat, especially in the northern countryside, is very common. Many times, even if there are small benches, farmers do not like to sit and eat, but prefer to squat. The farmer was tired from the day and squatted into the most comfortable position. When eating in the countryside, the smoke of the cooking houses is shrouded in the soft light of the sunset, and the sporadic lights are dotted among the rolling hills. People squatted on the threshold, on the low wall, on the grain pile, in front of the kennel and cattle pen, eating and cooking, and the fresh evening breeze brought the smell of grass and the fragrance of the soil in the fields, so that the meal swept away the fatigue of the day. ”
"When I was a child, I liked to wander around the village with a rice bowl and often eat meals from several families." Fang Monan put down his chopsticks and smiled.
Mom rubbed Fang Monan's head, "Huh! Nannan remembers this! She said emotionally, "There are no exquisite tableware, no beautiful houses, just coarse tea and light rice, and low walls of earthen houses, but the people who squat to eat, the big sea bowl full of hands is the livelihood of the whole family, and it is the least admiration for this bowl of rice in the hand after pouring sweat." ”
"It's drip, it's drip! It's a way of life, it's like pilaf. Dad said.
"Pilaf! Try it another day! Fang Monan joked and said, "It's good to eat while squatting, it's good to stand up and be full when you squat, now people eat all the food is actually not good for the stomach." ”
"Poof...... "Everyone laughed when they thought it made sense." You're really a lot of crookedness! It's all straight for you. Dad smiled and nodded her head.
Squatting to eat is nostalgic, nostalgic for the carefree and free life of childhood, and in the eyes of modern people, squatting is considered an unsightly posture. Although it is just a posture of eating, when it is associated with the hard, dirty, and tiring migrant workers, the meaning is complicated, and it is suspected of being uncivilized, and even becomes a status symbol. Squatting to eat has become one of the symbols that distinguish them from the people in the city. Counting up the three generations, they were all born with mud legs, who didn't come over like this.
"Alright, let's eat it!" Grandma said, and the sound of sucking and sucking sounded in the restaurant again, and no one should laugh at anyone now.
After lunch, the juniors cleaned up the restaurant, the fat man went to the food company, and Qi Qiu actually went to Zhongteng Industrial. Dad also went out, and they were very busy for the New Year!
Fang Monan and the others returned to the study, and the two little ones automatically sharpened the ink and painted red.
The aunt glanced at the children, took Fang Menan's hand and said, "Nannan really has to thank you, these two little guys are thanks to you." "It's no better than not knowing, compared with children of the same age, her children are much more sensible and obedient. Of course, this can't be compared with Fang Monan's pseudo-child when he was a child.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two children did not forget to exercise in the morning, take steps and practice kung fu. She seemed to see what they looked like when they got up early a few years ago in the old mansion. In the blink of an eye, the children are like her, repeating their original lives.
The two little ones showed off the moves they had learned in the past six months, chattering non-stop. The two little guys, one move and one style, are so serious and serious, meticulous, and strict with themselves, even if they are not stared at by Old Man Lin and Fang Monan.
After practicing, my aunt had time to ask them how they had spent the past half a year, in addition to studying, the most talked about was how to play, catching birds, fishing, climbing trees, catching insects, fluttering fireflies, and running all over the mountains like wild monkeys.
"The two of them have been taken care of by me since they were babies, and it's only lively to have them at home! In their words, they are also filial piety for you! Fang Monan smiled, popping out an apple seed, which was hitting Dabao's wrist.
Dabao put down the brush and said dissatisfied, "I'm hiding, why am I still being beaten by you." ”
"Hehe...... "Fang Menan smiled treacherously, "Of course, it has already been judged, and it is impossible to use one mind for two purposes, if you want to hear it, come over and write it later." She paused and said, "There's something to discuss." ”
"Oh!" Dabao and Erya put down the brush, walked over and sat on the sofa, "Discuss something with us." ”
"Dabao, Erya, they will be five years old in May this year, and they should go to school next year, have you figured out where they will go to school?" Fang Menan's fingers gently rubbed the edge of the teacup.
"Of course it's here......" Grandma said immediately when she heard this, and braked in time, "Of course I have to follow you, this will weaken the mother-son relationship between you in the long run." "Grandma, despite all the reluctance in her heart, can't delay the child's education.
Fang Menan raised his eyebrows, "What about you?" ”
Erya cried with a sad face, "Wow...... Sister Nan doesn't want us anymore. ”
Mom hurriedly coaxed, "No, no, you listen to her nonsense." She then glared at Fang Monan and said, "What do you say you are talking about during the New Year?" ”
Fang Monan blinked innocently, "I can't bear to say it anymore!" Fortunately, it took long enough to think about it. ”
"Nannan!" Auntie looked at her gratefully.
Everyone knows that this is cruel, but there are still some things to say, so it's up to Fang Monan to be this bad guy!
"Sister Nan said that going to school, is it going to school like Brother Tie Dan'er!" Dabao was able to ask so rationally.
Fang Monan looked at him in surprise and nodded.
Dabao blinked his eyes and said, "But we didn't learn much from you and Grandpa Lin!" ”
"It's different, but you can make more friends at school and live a group life!" Fang Menan said. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
