Chapter Seventy-Five: Kindness Is Not Reciprocated
Then you won't have your share, hehe. Yue Fan came out of the back room, listened to half of the conversation between Manzhi and Xiaoli, and asked with a smile, what is the share? It's not like you're thinking of something delicious again, is it? Manzhi and Xiaoli smiled knowingly, you will know when the time comes.
After eating, everyone was courteous in front of their parents, and came to the new house together, looking at the gorgeous and magnificent new house in just a few days, the praise was one after another with the fragrance sprinkled all over the house, and played happily all day, from the afternoon Yue Fan began to fulfill his obligations to his woman, until more than ten o'clock in the evening, finally moistened everyone, and dragged his tired body to lie on Baimei's bed. In the past few days since I came back, Yue Fan has really not been idle, and today is a few hours of continuous development, and I really feel a little tired. hugged each other tightly with Baimei, and gradually fell asleep.
People say that three women are in one play, and when these eight women are together, it is not a play but a pot of porridge. Bai Mei and Sijia are pregnant, and it is inconvenient to travel, so Manzhi also has to be with her son and daughter to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother. Send Manzhi, Baimei, Sijia, and the three of them home, Yue Fan, Naren Baobao, and Qi Lige take a car, Xiaoli and Meimei, and Yi Yan take a car, and drive slowly to the suburbs, and it snowed a little last night, and the car drove very slowly, and when they went out of the city, they saw the white trees hanging on the trees on the side of the road, and the scenery in front of them gave people a dreamlike feeling, just like being in an ethereal illusory shijie.
Parking the car in a parking lot at the foot of the mountain, crossing the small wooden bridge, six people held hands and began to climb the mountain, the mountain road was rugged and it snowed again last night, it was even more difficult to walk, and the screams of several women were like chirping magpies. Happiness conveys a kind of joy, attracting a small number of visitors to stop and watch, a few people are usually concerned about being closed, do not care about the eyes of others, chirp up the mountain, see the temple burn incense and worship the gods. Winter travel in the wild has its own wonderful benefits, the cold mountain wind brings people into the distant memory, a white expanse in the distance, the silence does not feel the existence of life, the front is a stone step, the stone steps are the top of the mountain, on the top of the mountain is a larger Buddha hall, which is offered to Guanyin, the incense here is good. Cigarettes floated in the incense burner in front of the main hall, a middle-aged monk was sweeping the steps in front of the hall with a broom, Yue Fan was followed by Xiaoli, Mei Mei, Naren Baobao, Qi Lige, Yi Yan, five luxurious women, respectfully finished Bush, turned around and came to the incense burner to pick up the preparation of haode tribute incense silently recited a few words of Guanyin's Dharma name, lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner, just now the monk who was still sweeping the steps looked at Yue Fan and others who were about to leave. Reciting the Buddha's name in his mouth, he took a step forward and said respectfully. Donor, please stay, Yue Fan and the others stopped and looked at the monk in confusion, with an inquiring look in their eyes, and the monk kindly picked up a few books from the table next to the door of the main hall and handed them to the six humanists, My Buddha is merciful and spreads Buddha's grace, this is a Paropamita Heart Sutra. The benefactor often recites the merits of immeasurable merit, and after speaking, he sings the Buddha's horn and walks towards the main hall. Several people left the hall with some doubts in their hearts.
This is a gazebo, which is specially designed for guests to escape the heat and rest when it is hot, and you can see all the beneath the eastern half of the main seat when you stand here. The mountain is steep, there are not many people going up the mountain at this time, the tourists who go together have also begun to go down the mountain, the sky is covered with dark clouds, it seems that it is going to snow again, Yi Yan knocked on the chair in the pavilion with leather gloves, and said happily, I haven't climbed the mountain for a few years, this climbing leg is a little trembling, let's rest for a while. Yue Fan sat down next to Yi Fan, touched Yi Fan's head and said, when you were at home, you were the most noisy, why are you tired of shouting now, Yi Fan leaned on her shoulder and said, I'm afraid that you are tired, yesterday you were fortunate to have suffered for so long, you don't understand this bit of people's thoughts, saying that his body was completely leaning on Yue Fan's arms, Yue Fan's big hand hugged Yi Fan tightly and said, I don't understand well, they are all a group of wolves in sheep's clothing, how can we know how to care about me like Yi Yan, Go back in the evening to read Brother Fan, I am so haode to moisten you.
Yue Fan didn't please women like you, how could we all become wolves, we gave you our most precious body essence last night, is there such a wolf in the world. That is, that is, you are too hateful, so conscienceless. Xiaoli, Mei Mei, Naren Baobao, Qi Lige, the four of them looked at Yue Fan angrily, looking unforgiving, Yue Fan said in his heart that this time it would cause public anger, and he saw that the four women were about to hit him with eight pairs of pink fists. Quickly changed his words, four ladies, four ladies, you are the most haode lady in the world, I said it wrong just now, you are all the closest people who care about me the most, you are like sheep in wolf clothes looking fierce, in fact, you are the kindest in your heart. Naren baby punched Yue Fan in the back quickly, you still compare us with wolves, and then Mei Mei, Xiao Li, and Qi Lige's pink fists also fell on Yue Fan's body, Yue Fan quickly stood up and pulled Yi Yan's hand and ran away The wolf is coming. Several people began to chase after them, and the cheerful voice resounded on the top of this solemn mountain, and ran along the smooth path of the top of the mountain for less than a thousand meters, and what appeared in front of them was a flat open field, the place was not very large, and there was a black stone in the northwest corner of the clearing, and there was a hut next to the stone, all of which were made of very square stones, and looked at it carefully, giving people a mysterious feeling. Yue Fan pulled Yi Fan to run to the open space, panting, Yi Fan was so tired that she sat on the ground, Yue Fan had already focused her attention on the small stone house, and then Xiao Li, Mei Mei, Qi Lige, Na Ren Baobao, also ran over, watching Yue Fan staring at the small stone house, Mei Mei pulled Yue Fan and said, Yue Fan What are you looking at, isn't that a stone house, what is there to see, look at your weird eyes, let's go over and see what is in the stone house. Xiaoli, Qi Lige and Naren Baby also followed, Mei Mei is right, let's go over and have a look and see what is strange inside.
Several people walked towards the stone house, Yue Fan felt that the closer he was to the stone house, the stronger the invisible pressure in his heart, at this moment, there was a cry for help on the way up the mountain, several people glanced at each other, turned around and ran to the side of the road in Xiangshang Mountain.
There were already a few people gathered there, trying to persuade something, although I couldn't hear what was said, but I could feel that it must be very sad, and when I got closer, it was a middle-aged woman in her forties. was crying loudly, and Yue Fan asked what happened to the person who arrived first. A young man said, this aunt's husband just fell from here, Yue Fan turned his head to look at the bottomless steep cliff, and knew in his heart that the person who fell down seemed to be unable to live, so he stepped forward and squatted down and said to the woman with concern. Auntie, let's mourn, let's help you down the mountain.
This is a tourist attraction in the provincial capital, naturally there are management personnel, after receiving the news, immediately organized people to look for people who fell down the mountain, supported the middle-aged woman and the people from the scenic spot management office to say hello, and walked to the only hotel here.
In fact, Yue Fan is not a nosy person, but from the first time he saw this woman. I felt a sense of responsibility that I couldn't shirk, as if there was a connection with this woman's life, a very strange feeling.
During the conversation, I learned that this woman is a native of the south, doing business in the provincial capital, doing a clothing business, and the business is doing well, and she originally came to repay her vows. The couple said that they would return their vows and go back to the south who knows. The husband left his life here, and there is a daughter who is in college at home, and the woman said sadly, how can she go back and explain to her daughter, the daughter is usually the best with her father. As she spoke, the woman cried so sadly that she fainted. Yue Fan is still young, where have they experienced such a thing. Touching this matter, it is not a matter of not leaving for a while, and she can't make up her mind, Xiaoli saw Yue Fan's thoughts, and pulled Yue Fan Dao. Yue Fan and we are all businessmen, and we are also fellow practitioners, since we have asked, good people will do it to the end, so let's do it, Meimei, you and Qi Lige, Yi Yan and the three of them will go back first, I and Naren Baobao, Yue Fan, stay to help this aunt deal with things, it's not too early, we don't go back, the family will be anxious. Mei Mei nodded and agreed, okay, and left the hotel with Qi Lige and Naren Baby, Xiaoli and Naren Baby stayed in the hotel to accompany the woman who fell asleep due to sadness.
Yue Fan sent Mei Mei and the three of them to the car to tell them to be careful on the road and something like that, watching Mei Mei drive on the road and leave, Yue Fan walked towards the scenic spot management office.
The people sent out by the management office have not come back, Yue Fan has been waiting until it is almost dark, only to see a group of people with a large plastic bag to carry people back, read Fan asked about the situation, the leaders of the scenic spot management office in order not to affect the development of tourism in the scenic spot, explained that they are willing to give the deceased a certain amount of economic compensation, in order to show their own deficiencies in the safety facilities of the scenic spot.
Yue Fandao, I agree with your approach, but I can't say anything to you, because I am not the family of the person concerned, if I am a warm-hearted person, it can better explain the relationship between me and the party, the family of the victim is in the hotel, it is best for you to explain the situation to her, I think she will understand. The leaders of the scenic spot management office praised Yue Fan and came to the hotel with Yue Fan.
The matter was handled very happily, the woman did not ask for compensation from the scenic spot, but offered to ask them to help, transport the deceased back to the provincial capital, and help cremation treatment, the people in the management office heard it, and immediately agreed, no problem, we will help you deal with it, you can rest assured. I have to say that this woman is really a very strong woman, and with the help of Yue Fan and others, the matter was quickly dealt with.
A few days later, this woman found Yue Fan, Boss Liu, you guys, I should have gone to your house to thank you, but I am a mourner who is not very good in and out of the festival, so I will not go to the house to thank you, and I will thank you again if I have the opportunity in the future. Thanks to your help, I wouldn't have known what to do alone. This is my business card, and I took out a pen and wrote down the address and phone number of my home on the business card, I hope you will contact me when you get to the south of the country, and I hope I can help you a little, and said some comforting words Yue Fan broke up with the woman.
Drive back home. Under the leadership of Manzhi, a group of women talked and laughed, and prepared a high-end and sumptuous meal. The two-meter-eight-long and one-meter-wide large dining table is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the parents and nanny Aunt Yang also brought Jingxian and Jingxian over, the atmosphere of family reunion is so comfortable, and the father talked about the great principle of acting and behaving during the meal, you are all adults, remember a sentence, do not do anything good and small, and do not do evil and small. Be a low-key person, do things respectfully, focus on the distance when doing business, don't just look at the immediate interests, learn to empathize with people, and do not do to others what you don't want. It's good to do business, don't get too close to the people in the officialdom, everything must be mastered to a degree, the changes and flexibility of policies are very large, and the business is bigger, we must pay more attention to the policy, and don't leave people with a handle.
What you did this time is very right, helping others is helping yourself, the reason is very simple, but it is not easy to do. In business, we pay attention to returns, but in helping others, we must be able to give grace without expecting reciprocation. In this way, we can leave a wider path for ourselves and future generations, and accumulate more virtues. (To be continued......)
PS: I met Xiaolei's mother by chance, laying a foreshadowing for the future.
