36 (5) A messy typhoon is a mixed blessing of life

"Grandpa, look over there!" Tsai Tsai pointed to a big tree on the roadway of Meron Road and said to the old horse.

"Good fellows! Such a strong wind! "The old horse stopped and looked into the distance, which was very amazing. The tree, which was thicker than the old horse's waist, was snapped by the wind—the waist was broken. The old horse looked back and forth, and there was more than one broken tree on the roadway, and every other section a big tree was broken and lying in the middle of the street, revealing the yellow and white core.

After the grandfather and grandson arrived at Meilong Road, the rain on the ground was still flowing quietly, and the red green road was washed spotlessly, and it was paved with fallen leaves, residual flowers and branches. In order to make it easier for his grandfather to walk, he opened the way for the old man two or three meters in front.

The rain had stopped early, and from time to time a strong wind was blowing, which was very refreshing, and the old horse walked slowly on the leaves and branches of the trees. The more I walked, the more shocked I became, but when I saw a tall street lamp five or six meters in front of me across the greenway, Tsai Tsai collapsed and turned back to wait for his grandfather. The old horse also collapsed on crutches.

"How is my mom going to drive to work tomorrow?"

"Take the subway, there are so many broken trees, it will take some time to deal with them!"

"Grandpa, look at that row of trees in the meadow over there! As if slapped by God, he poured his brush over there. ”

"Huh...... Be. ”

"Oops! What is this? Snails? After walking about ten meters, the old horse pointed to a snail on the ground with his cane and asked.

"It's a snail! That's right! "Tsai squatted down and broke a thin twig to play with the snail.

"I thought I was a rat! Ah! I've never seen such a big snail! The old horse was frightened and frightened. The snails in the northern fields are as big as their fingernails, and the snails in the south are as big as apricots!

The grandfather and grandson continued to walk forward leisurely.

"Boy! Get out of the way! The old horse shouted from behind. It turned out that there was a tree in front of Tsai Tsai that he could stretch out his hand to pull the tree down, and the tree was a little dangerous in mid-air.

"Hmmm! Got it! Tsai Tsai strode over, and then held on to the tree and waited for Grandpa. The old horse smiled and stooped under the trunk.

"Grandpa, I feel like the roots of these trees are all broken."

"Hmm!" The old horse looked at the trees in front and behind that were also crooked.

"Today, it was reported on the Internet that more than a dozen people had died. It was said that several billboards had been stoned to death, and that the walls of makeshift buildings had fallen down — several people had been killed. ”

"Oh my God! The wind is terrifying! ”

"There is another person on the Internet who was stoned to death by a high-altitude glass! It was the company building, and the windows on the upper floor were not closed, and then the wind blew them apart, and the falling glass pieces smashed the man to death! ”

"Oops!" The old horse looked flustered.

After seven or eight minutes, Tsai caught an earthworm on the greenway, and walked to the old horse with two branches: "Grandpa, look at this earthworm is not big!" ”

"Oops!" The old horse was so frightened that he had never seen such a big earthworm. It turned out that the old man was afraid of falling, so he walked all the way with his head down, so he quietly moved to him and picked up a wriggling big gadget - the old horse looked at it and thought it was a little snake.

"Haha...... It's an earthworm that doesn't bite! ”

"I know! Sizzle...... Chopsticks are so long! It's thicker, thicker than your fingers! Oh, I've never seen this in my seventies—what a big earthworm! The earthworms in our tun are only the thickness of the wool! This guy is so big that he's going to get fine! The old horse leaned and observed.

"Haha......" The young man teased the earthworm with one hand and the other.

"Don't tease, don't tease! Let's put it on! The old horse waved his hand, not wanting to look at it.

"Alright! I don't know how old it is! I guess it's not young! Tsai threw all the earthworms and sticks into the flower pond at once.

"If that earthworm were a person, it is estimated that it would have lived to the age of the master!"

"If that earthworm were a person—wouldn't it be a goblin!"

"Hmph, hehe......" both the old horse and the boy laughed.

"Why is there not as much garbage in this big city as there is in our county?" The old horse asked the boy.

"Rich! Several people are cleaning up each street! If you can't clean it, you will have to deduct money. Grandpa, look at the old lady over there! Tsai pointed to the cleaner in the middle of the way.

"Oh!" Lao Ma looked carefully, and the cleaners who cleaned the lanes were all over forty years old, and many of them were in their sixties.

"This ...... How to get ahead? Tsai Tsai pointed to a big tree on the road 20 meters ahead and asked Grandpa.

The old horse looked ahead, and saw a big tree one and a half feet thick falling on the street, knocking down the iron railing on the side of the road, and the canopy of the tree was across the roadway, really blocking the road. The tree was as thick as the old paulownia tree in front of his house, and it was estimated that it had grown for a decade or twenty or even thirty years. It's a pity, the old horse is holding the cane head with both hands, and his brows are furrowed. Maybe Tsai Tsai can step over, but he can't turn it over, so he can only go home.

Early on Friday morning, Gui Ying took the subway to work, and Zhiyuan sent Tsai to school. There was no wind or rain, but the two men were holding umbrellas, just afraid that a glass or flower pot would fall from the sky and hit the child, and Zhiyuan was worried all the way. After breakfast, Lao Ma went to the balcony to look into the distance, the weather was cloudy with a faint light, cool and breeze. In the distance, orange-clad men were clearing tree trunks and branches from the streets, and several large trucks were parked in the driveway to pull broken branches.

Zhong Xuemei went to work early, and after Bao Xiaoxing got up at eight o'clock, she didn't leave the house for a long time. She looked in the mirror, wiped the wound at the corner of her mouth, rinsed the blood from her mouth, and wiped the dried tears from the corner of her eye. When her face was trimmed to be less conspicuous, she went out of the house to the kitchen to make breakfast. Xuecheng woke up early, wrote homework in his room, and ate the mother and son together after breakfast was ready. What a quiet mother and son, with very little talk from beginning to end.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Gui Ying received a call from the business manager of Lijie Technology, who confirmed that he had participated in the exhibition, but the booth booked this year was only half of last year's, and the originally happy manager Ma was suddenly lost. I had no choice but to choose the best booth for them according to the various discounts originally promised. It is estimated that Mr. Lao Qian did not expect such a result, and it can only be said that Lijie Technology is not in a good state this year. Gui Ying knows very well that in the past two years, there have not been many profitable enterprises in the Anke industry, and it seems that she has to be prepared for the unexpected, I don't know how Li Yubing, Sister Li and Lao Qian will look at the Anke Exhibition at the end of this year.

When she finished her break at 11 o'clock in the morning, Gui Ying habitually brushed the circle of friends, and actually saw Ma Xinghua's dynamics in various circles. It turned out that the couple really went to Hong Kong, and the photos were full of photos taken by Xinghua at famous Hong Kong scenic spots. She didn't go back to her hometown, and she definitely didn't give that money to her children, Gui Ying grinned and shook her head, and continued to slide down the circle of friends.

At noon, Bao Xiaoxing went downstairs to buy vegetables, for fear that acquaintances would find out the wound on her face, and the middle-aged woman wore a big sunhat, almost covering her neck. After coming back from shopping, I cook and eat, and after the meal, I go to bed. Bao Xiaoxing has often heard people say "sleep to nourish the spirit" since she was a child, and only after middle age did she know that the old man did not deceive her. The middle-aged people at the bottom may only heal their wounds by sleeping, and only when they fall asleep can all their troubles be completely thrown away.

This isn't the first time Jong Lee has made a move on her, and it certainly won't be the last. She did the same at him, but she didn't regret it in the slightest. Human nature is sensitive and slow, old and frivolous, outward and introverted, profound, superficial, self-light, and self-respecting...... No matter what kind of temperament, as long as you guide it well, you can become a weapon. Hyosung never felt that his studies were any worse than other children, so why didn't Jong-ri like him? Sesame mung bean yells, scolds or beats when the problem is big - is this a normal father's attitude towards his children?

Hyosung lay on his side, quietly wiping tears with toilet paper. Life has been difficult in the past few years, why do you have to be idle, wouldn't it be even more sad to go on like this. She lamented this dark life, and she didn't dare to spend a penny more under the pressure of debt, and she had to hesitate and hesitate to buy toys for her children; She felt sorry for her two sensible and poor children, the depraved father didn't know what impact it would have on them in the future, but it was okay to be depraved, how many years would it take for the children who were beaten and scolded all day long to heal these pains......

Haggard is because of the turmoil, and it is always the most sad to worry about it. The more Bao Xiaoxing slept, the more tired he became, and the more tired he became, the more he slew. It's as if I've never slept enough in the past twenty years.

During lunch dinner, Zhiyuan talked about the news of the day while looking at his mobile phone. It turned out that yesterday's typhoon caused another seventy or eighty deaths, and Zhiyuan shook his head and grinned when he spoke. After lunch, He Zhiyuan took his documents to the Longhua District Government Office to apply for a Hong Kong and Macao pass. In the afternoon, there were only two people left in the house, Lao Ma and Yangyang, Yangyang was sleeping, and Lao Ma was lying on the recliner.

When he was half-asleep, the old horse suddenly remembered the seventy or eighty people who had fallen that Zhiyuan had just said. When people are old, they are most afraid of listening to death. Even if there is no clue at the time, how can you turn a deaf ear to it later?

In this life, living in Tunli, Lao Ma has heard and seen too much death.

The village got rich and died of lung cancer, Jianjun, who was younger than him, overturned and was crushed to death when he drove a tractor, Chunjuan in the early years went to the field to mow grass and fell into the ditch and died, Hongqin and her younger brother drowned in the river at the age of seven or eight, Guoyun fell from the second floor and died when he built a floor house for people in his early years, Xinhua died of hepatitis B in his thirties, Xiaofeng and her sister-in-law died of a serious illness after getting married, Chunhua ran away with people from other villages and was killed by his man, Minmin and her mother died of drinking pesticides after a big quarrel with her, Xingqi his eldest brother died in a motorcycle accident ten years ago, Zhentao and his uncle were working in the field when they were harvesting wheat, and suddenly collapsed and died, Hongxia and her mother-in-law had bad lungs and coughed to death, Huihui and her eldest sister died of dystocia when she gave birth to her second child, and Yaoqiang died of a cerebral hemorrhage......

When he was the village chief, Lao Ma also subscribed to several newspapers, and he also saw all kinds of deaths in the newspapers.

Those who died of perennial alcoholism, committed suicide by jumping off a building in a factory, were electrocuted on the road, were poisoned by food poisoning at school, died of overwork in the office, died of overdose of drugs, died of an accident with a crowd of people who were not in a good mood, were beaten to death by the city management with a baton, raped and killed by a night driver, died of AIDS, starved to death in the mountains while exploring in the wilderness, drowned in the water when they went to a reservoir to play, were bitten to death by poisonous snakes in scenic spots, died of landslides and landslides, drowned in heavy rains every year, died of playing games in Internet cafes, died of heat stroke, Killed by fire in a factory or farmer's house, shot dead in a rental house, or caught to death in an elevator......

How many times does a person have to see death in order to be less afraid of death. Lao Ma was never afraid of death in his early years, but he was a little afraid of the death of the people around him a few years ago, but he was not afraid of his own death, why did he become so timid after only a month in the city.

Don't say anything about being famous behind you, even if you are famous behind you, it's better to live. Ordinary people, in one day of life, are better than a thousand years of death. The old horse couldn't help but think of Big Brother's hands and his shabby funeral.

"After crying, the second brother hurriedly called the third brother, that is Yide Zhang - the king of Langzhong, the third brother Yingling listens to the root seedlings, the tiger prison pass whip falls purple gold, and the Xia Mengguan is naked and fights Ma Chao at night. The night passed through Bazhou to make a good living, and received Yan Yan's old hero. For a while, Yan Yan opened the way, and the eighteen generals carried back the horse. Cao Cao's people were frightened by you, and they broke the Dangyang Bridge three times. ”

"The prestige of the first world is now lost, and the king's two Optimus Prime have been damaged. King Zhaolie only wept like drunkenness, who came to relieve the anxiety of the king's heart......"

The old man was listening to the play again, listening to the play stupidly. The expression on his face was as if it were still, and he didn't know that a little man had come to his side, and the cat was peeking at his face. Yang Yang didn't know if her grandfather was asleep, she walked up to her grandfather and gently reached out to touch his chest pocket, beard, hair, and the folds on his face. The old horse noticed and opened his eyes. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other affectionately and smiled.

"Grandpa, are you asleep?" Yangyang asked, leaning on the armrest of the old horse's rocking chair.

"Uh...... I don't know if I'm asleep or not. ”

"Grandpa, I want to eat chocolate......" Yangyang lowered his head and coquettishly.

"You're hungry just after eating? Eaten for nothing? The old horse stared sideways at the baby.

"Grandpa, I want to eat chocolate......" Yang Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Done! Grandpa will fetch it for you. ”

The old horse walked to the shelf in the living room and looked for it in a row of snacks, but there were too many varieties that the old man didn't know, so he took the bags to Yangyang's eyes and asked her. When he got the yo-yo candy, Yangyang nodded, broke the clip and took out the candy and ate it. When the old horse saw that the child was happy, he was inexplicably happy.

"Well, here you go!" After the old horse sat down in the rocking chair again, Yangyang held three colorful yo-yo candies and handed them to the old horse.

"Hehe......" Lao Ma smiled innocently, stretched out his rough and dark palm to take it, and then sent it into his mouth. The sugar pill was sweet and greasy to the old horse's heart.

"You go back to grandpa's house with grandpa for a few days, smash the sample?" The old horse smiled and looked down at the child.

"But I haven't been, I don't know where your house is."

"Grandpa's house is your mother's house, and when you were a child, your mother grew up in your grandparents' house."

"Alright then, then I'll go back to your house with you." Yang Yang said while eating.

"Hahaha......" When the old horse heard the agreement, he smiled and showed a mouthful of black teeth. The promise of the four-year-old boy was too immature and light, but the old man grabbed it and held it firmly in the palm of his hand.

"But I don't dare to go alone!" Yangyang frowned a pair of small eyebrows.

"What are you afraid of if you have a grandfather!"

"But without my dad and my mom!"

Suddenly, both of them were sad.

Bao Xiaotang in the rental house giggled a few times from time to time, chatted with the QQ friend who "walked in the rain" until more than eleven o'clock last night, and continued to chat when he woke up today. The two talked about the four seasons of Pengcheng from the super typhoon, from the food from all over the world to the embarrassment of breakfast in Shenzhen, from the latest movies and American dramas to the silly white sweetness of the current hit dramas...... At three o'clock in the afternoon, Bao Xiaotang nestled on the sofa in his pajamas, holding his mobile phone in both hands, and the corners of his mouth curled.

An effective solution to a civil war is to provoke external contradictions, and when great and intractable external contradictions strike, internal contradictions will naturally unite. It can work for a country, it can work for a family, it can work for an emotion. This may not be the best approach, but it is the most efficient and fruitful approach in the short term.

Often, emotional wounds don't need to be healed, time will heal them.
