37 (4) Two men kissed and frightened Lao Ma, and the three women gathered to persuade Xuemei to return
"Dad, Shenzhen is also called Pengcheng, and the 'Peng' of this Pengcheng is from the ancient city of Dapeng!" While taking his family to visit, Zhiyuan introduced the local characteristic attractions and background culture to the elderly. It turned out that early on Sunday morning, the whole family decided on today's trip itinerary after a heated discussion, that is, to go to the ancient city of Dapeng for a day - visit the ancient city at noon, visit the characteristic small streets, go to the beach to see the sea in the afternoon, and eat seafood barbecue in the evening.
The old horse walked on the ancient city built in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty, although the temperature was hot and dry, but there were thousands of miles of breeze to come and go. Gray and black tiles, bluestone bricks, small arches, gate towers...... It is antique and has a unique charm. Gui Ying took a lot of beautiful photos of the family in the city.
After walking around the ancient city wall, having lunch at the local small market, everyone took a short rest, and then drove straight to the beach at two o'clock in the afternoon. When I arrived at the beach at three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw that there were not too many people on the beach, so I came early. Zhiyuan put the wheelchair on the fine sand by the sea, Lao Ma sat in the wheelchair and looked at the luggage, and the family of four changed into swimsuits and went to the north of the beach to step on the sea water.
From time to time, the sea water of Daya Bay would shoot at the feet of the old horse, who took off his shoes and put his bare left foot on the hot sand, but saw that the cool water was rolling quickly and slowly receded.
It turns out that this is the real sea - the South China Sea!
When the wind and waves are calm, the sea is the most pleasing to the eyes - peaceful, warm and wide...... It's like a hug from Mother Earth. The calm sea was as simple as a piece of blue paper, and occasionally a breeze blew the blue paper, and the blue paper lay flat and sometimes diagonally, and when it was placed obliquely, the old horse felt a kind of oppression, as if the whole sea was pouring towards him—pouring into his body and over his eyes.
The old horse looked at the people swimming and driving speedboats in the far distance in the sea, undulating and diving like fish, and free like birds. People who grow on the plateau yearn for the sea and hope for water the most. Just by looking at the appearance of the sea on TV, the people of the northwest can be easily conquered, and now facing the sea, they are swept away by the roaring waves and demented.
Xu is the time to rest in the afternoon, Xu is tired from walking all the way, the old man leaned on the wheelchair, his head fell on the back of the chair, and his eyes narrowed into a gap to look at the place where the sky and water meet. It seems that he can't wake up when he falls asleep, and he is reluctant to sleep here, and his will seems to wake up and sleep in a daze.
The endless wind and waves crashing on the shore are undoubtedly the oldest sounds on earth. The sound is like a spaceship flying slowly over the head of an old horse, like a huge planet passing obliquely through the clouds of the earth, like the wheel of a time machine mercilessly crushing in the ears of human beings...... Billions of years without interruption. Only by closing the eyes, and only at night, can one truly see the charm of the sea through the ears. The voice was slow, heavy, sonorous, sad, melancholy, long, and hissed, and the last impact seemed to be like a subversion from a cocoon, like water flooding a city, like a meteorite falling, like the universe collapsing...... Such a vast and deep vibration, such a strong and surging sound, repeated over and over again, for eternity.
The sea knows a truth, the wiser the voice in the universe, the more sorrowful, and the stronger the voice, the thicker.
Close your eyes, close your nose and tongue, let your brain stop all limb sensations, tell all nerve cells to be quiet, and with your ears alone, you will feel the sea actively approaching him—like a trickle, like a hundred-meter waterfall, if the rivers return to the sea, the impact and tumbling will become more and more powerful, and the sound will become more and more grandiose.
The creatures in the universe who live by the sea and listen to the waves are the happiest.
At the moment, the old horse is in front of the window of a seaside hotel! No, he's on a cool stretch of sand! No, he's in a deep-sea boat! The old horse felt his body fluctuating in the sea, the brain waves, breathing, and heartbeat were at the same frequency as the rise and fall of the waves, and the beating of the waves.
The old horse is at this moment, and it is also in ancient times; In a wheelchair, but also in the sea; In the body, but also outside the body.
In the early days of the earth's formation, there were only a few powerful sounds, and now, the old man heard one of them—it was the old and jerky drum, it was the heartbeat of the earth.
"Grandpa-grandpa-grandpa-" Yang Yang called out in a caterpillar-patterned swimsuit next to the old horse.
"Huh?" The old horse shook his head and woke up.
"Dad, we're going to the sea, are you going?" Zhiyuan took off his shirt and said to the old horse.
"Oh! Go ahead, I'm not going. The old horse waved his hand, but the god had not yet woken up.
"Let's go!" Zhiyuan and Gui Ying pulled up Yangyang and ran into the sea together.
The old horse was looking for his grandson around, and it turned out that he had already swam in the sea. The boy actually knows how to swim, and the old horse secretly wonders. Since it was as big as Yangyang and Zaizai, it has also been in the water - the sparkling Weishui, very close to Majiatun, and you can go down a slope by turning a ditch. I often go in June and July of one year, take off my clothes and go directly to the river, and the high temperature and scorching heat wash the dirt and dirt in the river, and go to get rid of the heat, which is the most moisturizing.
The old man was staring at the boy, the boy swam over, went ashore, and when he was about to get to the old horse, the boy put his hands around a handful of water and threw it at the old horse's face, the old horse smiled and blocked it with his arm, and the boy threw the water again, and the old horse blocked it again.
"Don't mess with me! Don't mess with me! The old horse said with a face.
"Don't get in the way, don't get you! Hahaha......" said Tsai Tsai, standing in the sparkling water.
When the grandfather put down his arm, the boy threw water at the old man with both hands, and the old horse's clean and tidy clothes were wet.
"Tsk! You coward! The old horse grimaced.
Tsai Tsai smiled and said, "Is it possible not to get some water when you go to the beach?" ”
The old horse glared, then took out a square towel from his coat pocket to wipe the water. Before he could start wiping, he heard another wave of water flying towards him. The old horse stood up angrily, and the boy was even more crazy to pry the water, and after the water was finished, he saw that his grandfather was really angry, and the young man turned around and fell into the water and swam away.
"Grandpa, come down to the sea and beat me! Hit me! There was a sound from the sea.
The old horse was helpless and happy, shook his clothes and pants, and had to lie down straight to dry his clothes.
When it came to five o'clock, there were many more people on the seaside, and the old man put his hand on his eyebrows and looked at it, and there were so many people on the seashore that they were like ants on the edge of an ant's nest. Suddenly, six or seven meters in front of him, the old man saw two men, about twenty or thirty years old, one older and a little smaller, with a general figure and similar appearance. I saw the two of them having fun in the water, holding hands for a while and hugging them for a while, the old man looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't understand it at all! The piece of flesh on the center of the brow was swollen like a walnut.
Suddenly, the two kissed mouth to mouth! The old horse was so shocked that he showed a lot of white eyes! The seventy-year-old man shrunk his neck and opened his mouth to keep looking but didn't dare to look more, so frightened that he couldn't listen to it! Gui Ying Zhiyuan pulled Yangyang early, and the old man didn't know it! Gui Ying looked over there according to the old man's eyes, and Zhiyuan also looked funny, thanks to Yangyang, who was playing with a toy and didn't know at all, or Zhiyuan would have covered Yangyang's eyes!
"Great! Don't look at it! Gui Ying clasped her palms together and reminded the old man.
"Oops!" The old horse was even more frightened by Gui Ying's shot, as if he had seen a ghost or a demon, and his right hand touched his chest and fell straight back.
"Hehe......" The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and then took Yangyang to shovel sand and build castles at the water's edge.
The old horse was really frightened, it had been half an hour, and his heart was still panicked, he took a deep breath to comfort himself, he silently recited the "Tao Te Ching" in an attempt to divert attention, and he also memorized the "*******·. Language. I hope to help me relieve my heart discomfort. Who would have thought that these methods would not work at all. The myths and knowledge that the old man accepted, the beliefs and the life he embraced, were completely absent from this! The glimpse just now was like a glimpse of the impermanence of the underworld, how could you not tremble?
The old horse watched Gui Ying and Zhiyuan, the two of them were playing with Yangyang with a smile, the old man knew that he had seen the two of them together, but why was it the same as no one? The old horse was so surprised in his heart. After many years in the city, they must have seen all kinds of strange people and strange things, and their tolerance for these people and things comes from seeing how much they have nothing to do with them, or do they really understand from their hearts and show tolerance in their behavior? The old horse doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.
The reason why "youkai" is "youkai" is because it is far away from people's lives, and because it is far away, people can only be terrifying, afraid and awe-inspiring for "youkai". When "monsters" appear around people from time to time, people have seen a lot and may not be afraid; If you meet more often, such as meeting every once in a while, I'm afraid people can't help but point fingers; When the former "monsters" become a part of people's lives, human nature is accustomed to making irresponsible remarks, and even criticizing and suppressing.
Lao Ma has heard people say since he was a child, "Leather/Life is coming, Leather·||." Fate is coming", scared exactly like the "monster" came. When I was young, I heard the people around me say, "Brother Wen is here, Brother Wen is here", and I was so scared that I felt like I had seen a "monster". When he was middle-aged, he spread that "it is going to be reformed, and it is going to be reformed", but at that time, he was not so afraid, and even took the initiative to look at the local reforms in the newspaper, and later led the reform in the village! In this life, the old man always repeats such a psychological process and social process over and over again, I don't know how many times. I thought that I would not have it again when I was old, who would have experienced it again now.
It turns out that the change of the old and the new and the opening up of the inside and outside of the society are not only top-down methods.
The two men were long gone, and the old horse looked at the sea again, and could no longer find the sacredness of the sea in his heart. The old man was angry with the two men for ruining his sea.
Because Hyosung had an appointment in the evening, and there were more and more people on the beach, Guiying decided to go to eat seafood at 5:40. After arriving at the barbecue restaurant behind the beach, everyone found a seat and put their things away, and waited after ordering. The old horse's heart palpitations were still flustered, from serving the food to eating, the old man barely spoke, how did Ren Tsai Guiying pick the head, the old man just didn't hear it, his mind was full of two men's mouths, which made the old horse look at the five or seven plates of seafood with some disgust. Gui Ying only thought that he was not used to eating, and ordered an extra plate of cold cucumber and put it next to him for him to eat alone.
At eight o'clock, the group took the express train to the city, and when Yangyang heard that her mother was going to find Sister Meimei, she also shouted that she wanted to find Sister Meimei. Gui Ying was helpless and went to the appointment with a troublesome spirit. After taking a taxi to the coffee shop where Xuemei was, Hyosung and Xiaotang had already found a good seat and waited for her.
"Sister Yingying, here! Huh? Why did you bring Yangyang here? Doesn't she sleep? ”
"I haven't seen Meimei for a long time, she is clamoring to find Sister Meimei!" Gui Ying hugged Yangyang and sat down first, and sat down herself.
"Are you getting taller again? Let my aunt take a look! "Hyosung straightens Yangyang's body and plays with Yangyang.
"Where's Meimei? I was looking for her as soon as I entered the store! ”
"I'm off work, I'm handing over and changing clothes!" Xiaotang said.
"Huh? What's wrong with your eyes? Why do you wear glasses? Gui Ying looked at Xiaotang's eyes a little strangely.
"It's done! Got a double eyelid! Xiaotang took off his glasses and let Gui Ying see.
"Why don't you discuss with us! Quietly get things done! It's not authentic, Tang'er! If you say it, I can also help you recommend a good hospital! I have a lot of clients who do teeth, eyes, and faces...... That's a lot! Several of them are broken, and the hospital is very important! Gui Ying said while touching Xiaotang's temple to observe.
"Look at you, I'll just say that Sister Yingying's attitude is definitely different from you!" Xiaotang looked at her sister and said.
"Safety is paramount! Then you haven't had an accident, and it's too late for you to cry if something happens! Hyosung glanced at his sister.
"It's not good! You always like to say that you don't have anything! Xiaotang rolled her eyes at her sister.
"Huh! Don't say that, Tang'er! There is a girl in our company who has done a bad job, and now she has become a big eye, and she can't get it! You can only cover it up with heavy makeup! To be honest, I can't cover it up at all! That's why I said that if you want to go under the knife in the future, discuss with us, and I'll help you find a regular hospital! The fee is low! If anything happens, there is insurance! Gui Ying patted Xiaotang's wrist and said.
"Got it! Let's stop there. Let's talk about the purpose of today's gathering of the three of us! Xiaotang shifted his gaze.
"What purpose? Are you going on a blind date or what? Gui Ying asked.
"It's not her, it's me! I ......" Before Hyosung could say anything, he saw Xuemei coming.
"Aunt Gui Ying! Ay! You're here too! Are you here to see your sister? Xuemei squatted beside Yangyang and pinched Yangyang's little face and asked.
"Hmm." Yangyang nodded happily and peeked at the young lady a little shyly.
"You wait, my sister will give you a gift!" Xuemei turned around and disappeared again.
"What do you want to say?" Gui Ying asked Hyosung in a whisper.
"We had a fight the other day...... She was angry with her dad and hadn't been back to the shop for days, I said...... You ......" Hyosung's face twisted.
"You want me to help you persuade her?" Gui Young asked Hyosung.
Hyosung nodded.
"Why don't you let Tang'er persuade you? Didn't she live together? Gui Ying looked at the two sisters.
"I don't advise! Mei Mei loves to do whatever she wants, I support her! Xiaotang had a stiff mouth, and twisted his face to the left after speaking.
Hyosung sighed and twisted his face to the right. The three women fell silent.
"Aunt Guiying, I brewed a little light coffee for Yangyang, put a lot of sugar and milk, do you want her to taste it? This is the strength that other children in our store have drunk. Xuemei smiled and walked up to Yangyang with a small paper cup the size of a walnut and asked Guiying.
"Huh...... Yes, let her taste it. ”
Zhong Xuemei handed the small cup of coffee to Yangyang, Yangyang took it, smiled and stuck out her tongue to dip it, and then the villain frowned and said, "Sweet...... Bitter! ”
Everyone was amused by the ripples.
"Drink it in one gulp! It's delicious! Xuemei squatted beside Yangyang and smiled evilly.
Yangyang looked at the young lady, and really drank it in one gulp, and then her eyebrows stretched and raised for a while, and she couldn't wrinkle for a while, and everyone looked interesting.
"Are you tired from work?" After a long time, Gui Ying asked Xuemei.
"It's okay, not too tired!" Xuemei sat down and responded with a smile.
"Don't work too hard, you still have to go to college in September, and you're even busier when you get to school!" Gui Ying touched Xuemei's long hair and said.
"Hmm." Xuemei nodded meekly.
"It's August 11 now, and she's leaving in September, when are you going to have a treat? My red envelope has already been wrapped, just waiting for you to make a call! Guiying said to Hyosung.
"Uh...... I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll talk about it later. Hyosung bowed his head.
"Isn't that the end of it! I'll help you choose a hotel, and I have membership cards for several hotels there! When the time comes, you say hello, and I will pull our whole family over to join in the fun for Meimei! What do you think? Gui Ying smiled at Xuemei, and Xuemei smiled at Yangyang.
"I'll go back to his dad...... I'll go back and talk to her grandfather! Hyosung scratched the top of his head.
"Meimei is only this time in her life, can you pay a little attention to it? If you don't do it, I'll do it, just a few of our girls plus the boy to learn, eat, drink, sing, and play him for a day and a night! Xiaotang looked excited.
"I still have to go to work......" Xuemei looked at her aunt and pleaded.
"I'm sure I will! It's too early to think about it! Hyosung rubbed his hands between his legs.
"Oh yes, our old man is about to leave, you hurry up, I don't know if we can let our old village chief have a wedding banquet for Xuemei!"
"Huh? Uncle Ma didn't stay long! Xiaotang was surprised.
"What can I do if people want to leave? He is a thoughtful person, how can we ordinary people keep it! I had to stay for a few days for the birthday of the boy, or I would have been in his Majiatun today! In the past few days, Zhiyuan has taken him to the restaurant every day to eat well, we played for a day yesterday, and today we just came back from Dapeng! Go to Hong Kong next week to play, and leave when you're done! Gui Ying sneered in disbelief.
"Then you should be happy! Wasn't it annoying to have a long time? Why I see that you are reluctant now! Hyosung said.
"Oops! I just came to the old noisy, and after staying for a long time, it was smooth again! I can't figure out why he's in a hurry to leave! Gui Ying shook her head again and again.
"No, grandpa isn't coming home!" Yang Yang straightened up and said to her mother.
"Really? What did he tell you? Gui Ying asked.
"Hmm." Yang Yang nodded solemnly, but Gui Ying smiled.
After a slight pause, Gui Ying said to Xiaotang, "Are you going to get ready to find a job now or continue to rest?" If you want to find a job, let me know, I can post it in my circle of friends, there are many managers in my circle of friends! ”
"Hmmm! Know! Thank you, Sister Yingying! Xiaotang clasped his fists with both hands to express his gratitude, and then said in a loud voice: "How do you see me going to work like this?" I guess it will take a while for my eyes to go down! It just so happens that I'm resting too! Oh yes, I'm going abroad soon! Hahaha! Three countries in Europe – seven days! Cow or not? Xiaotang looked at everyone arrogantly.
"Really? Tang'er is getting better and better at playing now! I haven't been to Europe yet! Gui Ying was envious.
"She's in the group! The kind that is quick and takes pictures non-stop! I can't play anything, at most I can relax! Hyosung explained.
"It's good to be alone, like we are dragging our families and mouths now, and the rest time basically doesn't belong to us. I was too busy to arrange a game out for my two children this summer. Not to mention the kids, I feel like I can't rest every weekend, and every Monday is the most tiring. Gui Ying poured bitter water.
"It's the same! It's not about doing homework in the house every day, you see Mei Mei is busy - working twelve hours a day is not counting the back and forth ride! Not to mention adults! Which one doesn't stay up! ”
"It seems that I am the most chic in the current number!" Xiaotang said with a smile: "I signed up for a driving school and a college upgrade, and I have to hurry up to prepare for various exams after I come back from a trip abroad. ”
"These can be pushed back, you solve your personal problems first! I guess your sister is dead of sorrow! Gui Ying looked at Hyosung and continued, "There is that kind of professional blind date website, you can give it a try!" ”
"Uh...... Try! I'll sign up right away when I get back tonight! I have free time now. Xiaotang nodded.
The three women chatted for dozens of minutes, and at half past nine as early as Hyosung kicked Gui Ying under the table. Gui Ying understood, turned her head and asked Xuemei: "Meimei, when do you start school?" ”
"Sign up on September 1, and start military training on September 6."
"Oh! So what day do you go to work? ”
"August 30th."
"Oops! You're so nervous! Good guys, stop work today, take the train tomorrow, and report to the university the day after tomorrow! You have to rest more, rest more! Girls rest more and have good skin! ”
"It's okay, I'm not tired at all! I can earn an extra day of wages by working for one more day! My classmates are working until August 30th, just like me! Xuemei's big truth was soft-spoken, but the adults were a little sad when they heard it.
"Oh! Then you...... Then you have to spend more time with your family during this time, you haven't been seen for more than half a year! Spend more time with your mother, more with your studies, more with your grandfather and your father! The key is your grandfather! Your grandfather has brought you up since childhood, and now the old man is almost seventy, and other people have more time to spend with you, only your grandfather ......" Gui Ying thought of the old horse and choked up a little.
Hyosung took over and said, "Let's go and sleep in the shop tonight!" Your grandfather can buy you breakfast and cook your favorite dinner—the old man is so happy! You've been away for the past few days, and your grandfather has a sad face when he eats dinner! Waiting for you to come back every day, make those few dishes you love every day! ”
Hearing this, Xuemei lowered her head and rubbed the fingernails of her left thumb with two fingers of her right hand.
"Okay, it's not early, it's nine forty, Gui Ying and Mei Mei have to go to work tomorrow, let's go back quickly." Hyosung said to the crowd.
"Okay." Gui Ying nodded.
"Then I'll send you back to the shop tonight!" Hyosung said as he looked at Xuemei.
Xuemei nodded.
When Hyosung checked out, there were only three people left on the table: Xiaotang, Guiying, and Yangyang.
Xiaotang bit his lip, and suddenly said solemnly: "Sister Gui Ying, thank you for helping me some time ago, and also helping me teach that beast a lesson!" I'm sorry that night, I shouldn't have said something nasty...... I'm sorry......"
Seeing Xiaotang shining with tears, Gui Ying hurriedly stepped forward and shook her wrist and said, "Don't say it, don't say it!" Sister forgot! Ha ha...... What a silly sister! Sister is so busy that she forgot early! ”
After a while, Gui Ying said again: "Don't be entangled, you can look forward after this matter has passed, hurry up and go on a blind date!" Sister looks forward to you finding a good family as soon as possible! You're so pretty, you have to live better than the two of us no matter what! You know? ”
Xiaotang pursed his lips and nodded.
The group went out of the coffee shop and the soldiers divided into two ways, and Gui Ying pulled Yangyang to take a taxi and left. There was no big reaction to playing with paper cups in the coffee shop, and the little baby kept singing and singing loudly when she got into the taxi, as if she was drunk. Gui Ying couldn't hold back her laughter, she didn't know that little bit of coffee had such a great power.
After returning home, Yangyang was still a little crazy, seeing that there was no one in the living room, he went straight to his grandfather's house and sang and danced very intoxicated, learning to bark cats for a while, learning to crawl dogs for a while, and thinking that he was a monkey, a flower butterfly, a little mouse, and a spring girl, his mouth was vague, his hands and feet kept playing, and his small body jumped and rolled, climbed the chair and turned over the bed, and played until half past eleven. The old horse lay on the bed and watched the villain go crazy, just looking at Qin Yan and ugly, and his heart was overjoyed, and the fatigue and unhappiness of the past few days were all sent away by the little girl.
