35 Teach your granddaughter to recite the scriptures and bring her grandson to the funeral
It's a good thing to be busy, and when you're busy, you forget your sorrows. No matter how big the worry is, it will be demoted as soon as you are busy.
Bao Xiaoxing looked at the people in the mirror - his skin was dark yellow and black, his eye bubbles were swollen and wrinkled, three stripes appeared at the corners of his eyes, his cheeks were pitted and spotted, the corners of his mouth were drooping on both sides of his mouth, and the hairlines on both sides were gray...... Hyosung touched his loose neck and the two deep folds around his neck. She slammed the mirror upside down on the bed, not wanting to look at it again.
Life is already like this, can it be worse? She doesn't care, anyway, she has nothing to worry about in the rest of her life except for making money to make ends meet.
Thinking of her heart, Xuecheng and Meimei, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but lick the tears at the corners of her mouth. At first, she thought that only the life of a wealthy family was full of calculations, and it turned out that the most ordinary life of even one person was full of games and contradictions.
There are always many things that cannot be pursued in life. For example, people cannot have wisdom and beauty at the same time, they cannot have wealth and true love at the same time, they cannot be strong and kind at the same time...... Everyone is weighing, pacing back and forth between two desires. If you want a career, you will lose your family, if you want the future but lose your present, and if you want to be lively, you will lose the purity and sobriety of being alone.
In the past, I always felt that the houses in the Fuchun community were very small and crowded and not enough, but at this moment, it is empty, and there is dead silence everywhere. She wants to keep her married, but now it's hurting her children every day. She wants to liberate herself, but she is afraid of losing her marriage and family. There are only a handful of things that a middle-aged person can lose, not to mention that her most precious things can only be counted on five fingers.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Bao Xiaoxing sat on the bed, mourning his aging. Aging is always tightly tied to death, and she breathes deeply to soothe her menopausal fears and midlife crises.
This night, Bao Xiaotang suddenly felt that his world was brighter. There are so many beautiful things worth doing, and there are so many meaningful things she is willing to do. At one o'clock in the morning, Bao Xiaotang was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she got up and went to the living room to plan her next life: choose a training class for college promotion and sign up as soon as possible, take a trip abroad as soon as you go, and the driver's license test is also on the agenda, of course, I can't wait to do beauty......
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Bao Xiaotang sat alone on the sofa, looking for the country she was going to and the beauty project she was about to do on the computer. In the small room, a heart was resurrected.
When he woke up on Monday morning, Lao Ma was a little confused, and after two pots of smoke, he was refreshed. He got up and tore up the calendar, and saw that today's calendar book was printed: Tuesday, August 6, 2019, the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, the second day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the second day of the month of the pig in the year of Jihai, it is advisable to enter the house, migrate, make a bed, open a light, and pray for blessings, and avoid marriage, breaking the ground, buying property, planting, and burial. The old horse threw the torn paper ball into the trash, and then let go of Qin Yan and hummed quietly, this morning the old man sang "Huluyu Sacrifice Lamp".
Zhuge Kongming was transferred to the back tent, and there were mountain people who practiced hard in the thatched hermitage, and read all the military books and Bibles. complained about the senior brother, he shouldn't recommend Liang, and was deeply moved by Emperor Liu's three visits to the hermitage. ”
"Come down the mountain with my spear rocket, and Xia Houdun, who is burning directly, is bitter. Cao Mengde led 830,000 soldiers, and he was bent on destroying Sun Quan with the Jiangnan Tiger. Sun Zhongmou was frightened when he heard this, and announced that he had come to the two classes of civil and military in Jiangnan. Jiangnan Diwen wants to surrender the military generals to fight, and the war discussion of the surrender war is uneasy. Sun Zhongmou cut off half of the public case, and the family lowered their heads and hung up the high pole. ”
"There is a little Zhou Langqi who can do it, and he sent Lu Su to cross the river and move Liang. I also used a tongue war when I crossed the river, and he kept silent when he asked three or two questions. I have also borrowed arrows from grass boats for the country, I have also been out of Qishan for the country, I have also been in danger in Xicheng for the country, and I have worked hard for the country......"
After Gui Ying arrived at the company in the morning, she first sent a message to Vice President Wang of Lijie Technology to make an appointment, and it happened that Guan Shangxian, the founder of Lijie Technology, had no schedule in the second half of this Wednesday, and Gui Ying hurriedly made an appointment. Then he asked Mr. Qian's general secretary about Mr. Qian's time on Wednesday afternoon, and Gui Ying was not at ease and directly said hello to Mr. Qian. After both sides made an appointment, Gui Ying's heart was tense, praying that there would be no mistakes at that time, because if one party did not come to dry the other, the scene would be very embarrassing. Manager Ma was worried and listed the plan and specific arrangements for the meeting of the two presidents as the top priority of the week.
According to the company's standards, Gui Ying booked the restaurant where the two sides met that afternoon, and then inquired about Guan Zong's taste preferences, determined the menu and private room, prepared tea and wine for the banquet, and pondered the gifts to be given and the things needed for the day.
All morning, Bao Xiaotang has been pondering in the house which training institution to choose. She wrote and drew on scratch paper, made seven or eight consultation calls, and finally chose a credible and affordable agency, specializing in financial management.
At twelve o'clock, Xiaotang packed up his things and prepared to go out, first had a meal outside, and after eating, he was in a good mood and the beauty did a manicure by the way, and then took the car to the training institution to pay the training fee, and gave 8,000 yuan. After coming back, I followed the same process to find overseas travel and driving training service agencies, and the day was over.
At noon, the old horse stared at the rocking chair for a while, and when he got up, he smoked in the house. He was really bored, so he turned on the TV to find the news of the local station in his hometown, who wanted to wake up Yangyang. After Yangyang got up for lunch, he was in the house again, happily sliding back and forth. Lao Ma saw a little ghost dangling and dangling in front of the TV like a fly, dangling and dangling, shaking and shaking, which made him dizzy and upset, and he couldn't bear it.
"Bao'er, come here!" The old horse sat on the sofa and hooked his hands.
"Huh? What's the matter? Yangyang stopped the car, stood a foot away, looked back and asked with a smile.
"You've been riding for a while, you're tired, come on, how about grandpa teach you to recite the scriptures?" The old horse leaned back against the sofa and turned off the TV.
"What did you say?" The rippling pulley slid to the old horse and asked.
"Chanting! Grandpa teaches you to chant the scriptures! ”
"Grandpa, do you say eyes?" Yangyang asked, pointing to his eyes.
"Study! Grandpa teaches you to read! Lao Ma awkwardly said a word of Mandarin with a very strong Qin flavor.
"Alright then!"
"Come on! You sit here! Stop dangling! "Yang Yang slipped over and parked his car carefully.
After Yangyang climbed onto the sofa and sat down, the old horse said, "Then I will read a sentence, you can read a sentence, okay?" ”
"Okay!" Yang Yang adjusts her posture to keep up with her grandfather.
The old horse intersected his fingers and read with his eyes closed: "Faith is not beautiful, beautiful words are not believed!" ”
Yang Yang soared in the crisp voice of a child: "Faith is not beautiful, beautiful words are not believed!" ”
"The good don't argue, the debater is not good!"
"The good don't argue, the debater is not good!"
"Those who know are not knowledgeable, and those who are knowledgeable do not know!"
"Those who know are not knowledgeable, and those who are knowledgeable do not know!"
"Faith is not beautiful, good words are not believed!"
"Faith is not beautiful, good words are not believed!"
"The good don't argue, the debater is not good!"
"The good don't argue, the debater is not good!"
"Those who know are not knowledgeable, and those who are knowledgeable do not know!"
"Those who know are not knowledgeable, and those who are knowledgeable do not know!"
……
An old man and a young man were chanting scriptures loudly in the room, and He Zhiyuan, who was meditating at the desk, was very curious when he heard a different alternative voice echoing in his home. He pretended to drink water and came out to see the movement, only to see the old man paralyzed and his eyes closed to read a sentence, and the little one sleeping on the sofa with his feet swayed and also reciting a sentence with his eyes closed; The old voice is loud and heavy, and the small voice is playful and light. This scene is as warm and pleasant as a spring breeze, and the key is that the content in their mouths has aroused Zhiyuan's great interest.
"Dad, you still know the Tao Te Ching!" Zhiyuan came over with two cups of pure water and handed the water to the old and young.
"I learned a few paragraphs in the school when I was a child, and my husband taught me, how did I know that this was the Tao Te Ching!" After Lao Ma finished speaking, he handed the empty cup of water to Zhiyuan.
"Yes! It is the last chapter of the Tao Te Ching. Zhiyuan's smile showed admiration.
"She's been slipping around here, hundreds of times, back and forth, back and forth, and I'm going crazy! I thought of pulling her over and teaching her to recite the scriptures, so that my eyes and ears could rest for a while! After speaking, the old horse collapsed on the sofa again.
"Yangyang, study hard with grandpa, do you hear!"
"Hmm!" After Yang Yang finished speaking, he handed the water cup to his father.
Zhiyuan put down the cup and went to the bathroom, and when he returned to the house, he sat down and calmed down, and listened to it again:
……
"The hall is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it."
"The hall is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it."
"Rich and proud, self-blame."
"Rich and proud, self-blame."
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yang was tired of chanting scriptures, and quietly slipped back to his room to play with toys. The old horse felt stuffy in the house, and wanted to go to the top floor to see the sunset and breathe, so he came over to say hello to Zhiyuan. Seeing that there was no one in his house, the old horse went to the kitchen to look for it. There was no one in the kitchen, and the old horse ran into Guiying's house again, and when he arrived at the big bed in their house, he heard the sound of washing things, and the old horse flashed his body and glanced at it, only to see He Zhiyuan sitting on a small bench a few inches high to wash things. The old horse is sensitive, and if you look closely, it's a woman's panties! The old man's facial features were pierced, and he was unhappy in his heart.
"Dad! Are you looking for me? Zhiyuan turned around and saw that the old horse was there.
"Uh, yes, I'll go up, smoke a pot, and I'll talk to you."
"Uh...... I'm going to buy groceries soon, so why don't you take the kids along with you? ”
"Will she come with me, then?" The old horse pointed out the door.
"I told her! Ripple! Ripple! Zhiyuan shouted in the bathroom, and Lao Ma stood outside the bathroom at a loss.
"Hmmm! I'm coming! Yangyang ran all the way to Zhiyuan, and his small body threw himself on Zhiyuan's back, holding Zhiyuan's neck with both hands and saying, "Dad, what are you looking for me?" ”
Zhiyuan held a pair of rose-red underwear in both hands, and said to the child without hesitation: "Grandpa is going upstairs, can you go with grandpa?" ”
"Why?" Ripple coquettish.
"Dad will go out to buy groceries later, do you want to go to the market to buy groceries or go upstairs and ride a scooter!"
"Hmm...... Then I'd better go upstairs and ride! "Child's sincerity.
"Then you go with Grandpa! Grandpa is leaving now! ”
"Okay."
Yang Yang turned around and hurried out of the house to find her three-wheeled scooter, and the old horse followed out with a cane.
The old man changed his clothes, brought his lighter, hookah, fan, mobile phone and other accessories and went out, and Yangyang rode a bicycle after him. After reaching the top floor, Yang Yang is like a bird in a flight, sliding vigorously in an unobstructed and wide and bright place, and can slide more than two meters in one step. The little man enjoyed an extraordinary pleasure in the car. The old horse sitting on the cement platform looked at the white clouds in the southern sky, and the breeze blew in his ears, and he couldn't be happy.
A gentleman washes his underwear for his mother-in-law's house - what a system! Where is the system?
At this moment, Zhong Xuemei in the coffee shop, wearing good-looking work clothes, is busy in the store with neat movements. Although it was her first time working, the seventeen-year-old girl was diligent, intelligent, quick to learn and hardworking, and in just a few days, she went from adapting to work to enjoying the work.
At this moment, fifteen-year-old He Yiming sat in a small classroom, glanced at the white characters on the blackboard in the west, and glanced at Gu Shuyu beside him in the east, which was never more pleasing to the eye! The young man only felt that the whole world was filled with romantic and festive sound and light, and the universe was full of sweet and fragrant flavors.
At this moment, in the dimly lit hut, a soft lamp was on, and eight-year-old Zhong Xuecheng was sitting on his sister's small desk, seriously calculating math problems. Twenty-three times seventy-two equals ...... Twenty-three gets six, two-two gets four, three-seven-twenty-one...... The summer homework in the third grade was still a bit difficult for him.
At half past seven in the evening, Lao Ma was watching TV in the living room, Zhiyuan was cooking in the kitchen, and Zai was resting in the house. Four-and-a-half-year-old He Yiyang sat on the floor of the living room, flipping through a picture album by himself, chatting with himself: the caterpillar stole the petals, so it became a flower butterfly, and the flower butterfly laughed at autumn...... So she turned into a fallen leaf again, and the fallen leaf doesn't like winter, so it hides under the snowflakes - sleep big......
Gui Ying had a hard day today, she was tired early, she drove back from work, and when she got home at eight o'clock, she just caught up with dinner at home. After everyone finished eating and walked away, Lao Ma frowned and said to Gui Ying, who was looking at his mobile phone, "You are such an adult, check it!" ”
Gui Ying was very confused when she heard the harsh words, she put down her mobile phone and asked seriously, "Why am I not careful?" ”
"Why do you let him wash your pants? Your mother-in-law doesn't wash it, let the man wash it? Shame is not shame! The old horse tapped his index finger on the table.
Gui Ying raised her head and opened her mouth to take a breath, then pursed her mouth to send the qi out of her nostrils, and then said slowly: "Can't you see how busy I am this day?" My husband washes my underwear - how can others know about this in his own family? I make money legally and reasonably to live, how can I be ashamed? How to be indecent? ”
"You mother-in-law don't do what you have to do, you let the man ......" The old horse slapped the table hurriedly, and suddenly the phone rang. The old man frowned, stopped and swallowed, and pulled his phone out of his trouser pocket.
Gui Ying said word by word to the old horse: "I have to be idle every day!" Be all abroad! After saying this, he kicked away the chair, took the mobile phone and shook his arm back to the house.
"Hello? Who? The old horse sighed and opened his phone and asked.
"Uncle Jianguo, I am Tiesheng's son Yuan Jiancheng. Are you busy...... Right now? ”
"Oh! Built, not busy, not busy! What's wrong with you! ”
"Uncle Jianguo, I'm telling you, I'm leaving! Yesterday at six o'clock in the afternoon! Built's voice was hoarse and low.
"Oops, oops! Oh my God! Tsk...... Ah! The old horse lamented and shook his head and slapped the table.
Zhiyuan thought that the father and daughter were quarreling, so he hurriedly came out with a dishwashing rag to see, only to see that the old man's expression was very different.
"Uncle, I called to tell you that I set up a mourning hall in the funeral home, and I will be cremated tomorrow, so I will ask you if you will come?"
"Come on! Oops come on! Come for sure! Uh......" The old man asked in a long voice, "I saw you some time ago, isn't it good?" ”
"Yes, it suddenly deteriorated, was in the intensive care unit for a week, and finally ...... No more. ”
"Hey, I'll go tomorrow, go early! What are you doing with coffins, shrouds, etc.? If you need any help now, just tell your uncle! The old horse asked with his white hair wiping his sweat.
When He Zhiyuan heard Lao Mati's "coffin" and "shroud", he thought it was a big deal, he stood motionless and held his breath, with a solemn expression.
"No, you don't! The funeral home has it all! Just come here, I also said before I left that you would come and see him off! ”
"I know, I know! I dreamed two days ago that you were looking for me! Then you...... Then you send me the address, and I'll be there tomorrow morning. The old horse's thick eyebrows furrowed.
"Okay, na...... Uncle, I'm hanging. ”
"Good, good!"
Yuan Jiancheng hung up the phone, and Lao Ma also hung up. After hanging up the phone, the old man shook his head and sighed, one by one, his heart palpitated, and his skin was cold.
