Volume 1 The Ten Mile Long Pavilion Will Be Different Chapter 40 The Youth of the Fathers
From the time we came into this world, we don't know how many times we cried along the way, and we don't know how many times we laughed, but in the end, crying is less than laughing.
Chang will look at the prime minister, 90,000 miles away from the mountains and rivers,
Seven or eight childish alleys, three or two women accompany each other,
The old garden was returned to the late ploughing.
This is what I will write in my diary tomorrow.
He is an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, now he is muddy, he has to get by, in Shanghai, a fashionable international metropolis that can no longer be fashionable, but every time he looks at it involuntarily in the middle of the night, and his life is not like what he wanted in the past years.
But he always thinks of everything that happened in the past in his dreams, and he doesn't know what is always flowing from the corners of his eyes, and he doesn't know whether it is sadness or hope, but there seems to be some kind of strength to support this increasingly numb flesh and blood.
He looks like a drifting bottle at sea, yes, he has nothing, yes, he is in Shanghai. He has wondered more than once whether he will graduate at the age of 22 as a liberal arts student who seems to graduate from a useless major.
On more than one occasion, he struggled to climb to the top of the pyramid like a busy man in the sun, though he himself thought it was despicable.
He has thought more than once about how to live his life.
He slept drunken on the asphalt road under the Oriental Pearl of Shanghai, and he only felt in a trance that he had returned to that long-lost familiar and slightly strange place, and he didn't know who had changed, or if he found that he had already changed.
He just saw that the old women of Beigu Mountain were sitting at the door, and not far away, where the big yellow dog was squatting, a group of old men were shouting and fiddling with chess pieces again, and the distant evening sunset pulled the shadow of the eleven or twelve-year-old girl so long and long....... there was something that soaked his eyes and flowed into his mouth, so sweet.......
Those who have walked through their lives, those who still walk by their own side; those who have warmed each of us in the cold night; And all the people we will meet as much as we can in the years to come. - Everyone who struggles with reality and dreams, but is full of hope.
In tomorrow's mind, there has always been such a story memory.
The spider in the corner of the wall began to repair the shattered silk webs washed by the rainstorm, and I don't know if it hurt the moment it spits out the silk thread. Perhaps suffering does not overwhelm a person, but rather strengthens him. When the river begins to flood, it may not be the beginning of disaster, but after the roar and roar, the fertile soil above the riverbed is pregnant with the sprouts of nourishment and hope!
"Hey, you see how this year's rain keeps falling, it has been a heavy rainstorm in the summer half a year, it came from the side of the day, and after a while, the mud dragon in the ravine came down, and now in the autumn, there is no stop, the water in the ditch has risen again, and it looks like it is bursting again." As he spoke, Yang Laohan walked to the door of his house, still muttering about whether his straw house could withstand such a heavy rain. It is not unreasonable to be so worried, Yang Laohan has raised several sons and is not filial, and now he relies on the money and grain saved in the past few years and the thatched house he has shared. People say that it is to raise children to prevent old age, which is worse than wolves, why use it when raising it?
"Who cares about the ball, God, just let it go, it's enough for a long time." Liu Laohan entered the house as he spoke, and he still had a very tricky matter to deal with.
Liu Laohan is a tough person, he has a big reputation in Beigu Mountain, he comes forward whenever there is a big thing, and no one can object, a few years ago, there were a few gangsters in the village who were not convinced, knocked on the door in the middle of the night to make things, and as a result, Liu Laohan was beaten and scolded, and he also pointed to the right path, so that the people in the gangsters were very grateful, saying that they had met a nobleman, and the ancestors had accumulated yin virtue on the grave, and there was green smoke. But this time, he also had no idea, several descendants of the main ones were still outside and did not come back, and the youngest son was still young and had no way to take things. He has been old for so many years, and there is no way to come to some things, seeing that the rain keeps falling, he can't help but smoke the old man's cigarette, and the green smoke slowly rises up, and the whole house is a smell of burnt smoke.
Liu Laohan is a tough man, a few years ago, in the seventies and eighties in the coal mine coolies, something happened in the mine, few people were alive after the collapse, he just made a leg into a fracture, so that the village Yang Shenxian took it randomly, and there was no big mistake, I don't know if he got compensation, and he didn't tell anyone, looking at the days behind his family, he still didn't get much compensation, the coal boss at that time, the black one, and then he has been in Beigu Mountain, after the land was opened, I planted some fields, and then I married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby, so it stands to reason that this character is good, but I don't know if this person's life is hard or what, God always loves to live this family. This incident is what has been happening for a long time over the years, and it has plagued this old man who has suffered from vicissitudes.
People in the village said that he was a madman.
"I'll be your first person, and I'll discount your legs!" Liu Laohan scolded, this person generally doesn't scold, everyone agrees to deal with things, but there is such a family, the heart is very bad under the dialect scolding, and he is comfortable to see others in distress, this family is the son-in-law of the Wang family who was recruited by Beigushan.
Someone once said that Liu Laohan likes to tell a story, I don't know if it happened or not, after all, he always said to Yin and Yang who came to his house at night, and Yin and Yang also love to listen. There were originally several villages in Beigu Mountain, but later, with the People's Commune, a production brigade was set up in the team, and there were no private houses. The only radio station plays a voice every day, Liu Laohan feels that it is better to hum a small song in his own field in the past and watch his old cattle graze, but now, his own old cattle are also everyone's, there are model workers in the team, everyone is playing gongs and drums, blowing suona and cheering, as if there was a champion in the township before. Some people were sweating, some were beating gongs and drums, and some people were watching in surprise, and their hearts were beating gongs and drums.
Many people seek what the Chinese believe is, and many people feel that the Chinese have no faith, and many intellectuals in the village ask over and over again what causes this result, but who else cares about these things at this time, people are not full, and knowledge is nothing.
One day when he went to herd cattle, he went to the mountain, and on the mountain he said that he had met something and took it back to his home, and everything that happened after that.
He also said that he saw a person, this person was wearing a straw hat and a gown, not like a person from this neighborhood, Liu Laohan asked him where he was from, the person said that he was in a hurry, and the person sat down and asked Liu Laohan if he was bringing dry food? Liu Laohan is also sincere, said that there is an oil cake, he gave him to eat, when he left, he saw that the person took off his hat, Liu Laohan said that he looked familiar at the time, I really wanted to be a one-eyed blind man, but I couldn't remember it for a while, that person said, "The conscience is clear, the good thing is near, and everything has a law."
Liu Laohan said that when the person left, he also told him an ancient scripture (the meaning of the story), and people asked what the ancient scripture was, but he always wouldn't tell it to people. It wasn't until later that he said it in bits and pieces. Later, Liu Laohan was very relaxed, and people didn't have any pressure, and his life was very good, not only his family's life was better, everyone's life was better, people said, isn't this God's credit, the society is good, and the times have caught up!
"His woman is a madman", the Wang family said and cursed, this person is very bad, and the people in Beigu Mountain are very unkind to this outsider.
"I'm your ancestor, you're talking about discounting your legs!" The Wang family scolded at the door of Liu Laohan. Liu Laohan came out of the house and responded angrily to the Wang family, too, no matter how good you are to the evil person, he will not remember your goodness, but scolding him, he feels comfortable. Liu Laohan threw it with a hoe, and the Wang family walked away.
The rain has been falling for the past few days, and it seems to be stopping, isn't it a scene of people dying? Liu Laohan was annoyed, looked at the door, and walked in. He looked over to the bed, and yes, his mother-in-law was lying on the bed motionless, moaning, and from time to time saying something very inappropriate. Liu Laohan thought to himself: "In the early years, his baby mother suffered a lot, and now he has to stop, what is going on?" It's not that he did something bad and made this girl a few miserable." Liu Laohan thought in his heart, pecking, as if he wanted to come up with something, suddenly the door rang, Liu Laohan came back to his senses and saw that it was his eldest woman Liu Fugui who came back.
I don't know why, Liu Laohan gave a female doll such a name. Liu Fugui is black and thin, like Liu Laohan's mother-in-law back then. Fugui said: "Answer, is my mother's illness again?" How long has it been since you told a few dads to him that there was nothing? Liu Laohan replied: No, do you know your mother's illness, there have been no fewer crimes over the years, and there is no way, I don't know if it is a heart disease or if there are really some demons and monsters pestering her and refusing to let go. He didn't say anything about your father's house, and it was okay to say it, you wait first, wait for your sisters to come, and then he called your father and brother in the evening, and then discussed.
"Do you see if Zijie is back, tell him when he comes back." Liu Fugui agreed. Liu Zijie is Liu Laohan's sixth doll, and it can be regarded as the only son, it took a lot of effort to raise this doll back then, and it took a lot of risk, Liu Laohan asked the teacher in the village to give him a name for the first time: Liu Zijie.
