32: In the Lonely Desert
Life is like a journey, a journey to the mountains, a trip to the water, a trip to the wind, a trip to the rain, a trip to the thunder, a trip to electricity, a journey to the poor, a journey to the rich, a journey to be sad, a journey to happiness, in short, a journey after a journey.
So we come to this world from crying, and finally leave this world with a smile, and in the end you don't know who you have become.
There are 15 days left until August 15.
There are 3 days left until August 15.
There are 0 days left until August 15.
Finally, why do you use the word pan, because as mentioned earlier, the younger brother told his father and Zhao Xun to go home to visit his father on August 15, so the family is like a Chinese New Year today.
The last time my brother came back was in May this year, and now it is late September, and he has not seen his old father for four months.
August 15, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is also known as the Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, August Festival, Moon Chasing Festival, Moon Playing Festival, Moon Worship Festival, Daughter's Day or Reunion Festival.
It is the traditional cultural festival of the Chinese nationality in our country, when it is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival started in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, prevailed in the Song Dynasty, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has become the second most popular traditional festival after the Spring Festival.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone has a 3-day long holiday that is stipulated as a statutory holiday.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also the reunion festival of our Chinese lovesickness, and every year on this day, the wanderers who leave home always rush home to gather with their parents, relatives and friends, drink and share this happy moment.
The saying "autumn twilight and sunset" has been circulating in ancient China since ancient times, but it is still circulating among the people of our country. (Setting Moon: Worship the Moon God)
On this day, the family sat together in the moonlight, admiring the moon and worshiping the moon, eating moon cakes, and putting lanterns.
When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone must be familiar with another beautiful myth and legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival - Chang'e running to the moon.
Legend has it that in ancient times in our country, Chang'e was forced by Fengmeng, and in desperation, after eating the two immortal elixirs given by the Queen Mother of the West to her husband Houyi, she flew to the Moon Palace, and later lived in the Guanghan Palace on the moon for a long time and finally became Chang'e Fairy.
(After Feng Meng learned that Hou Yi got two elixirs of immortality, he took advantage of Hou Yi's absence at home to secretly bring a sword to coerce Chang'e to hand over the elixir, Chang'e was afraid that the elixir would fall into the hands of ill-intentioned people, so he took a step forward and swallowed the elixir.) )
Later, because Hou Yi and the villagers missed the kind-hearted Chang'e very much, they put Chang'e's favorite food in the courtyard and prayed for her from afar, so people set this day as the day when every family looked forward to reuniting with their relatives - the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a harvest festival, and many literati and scholars in our country use beautiful poems and songs to describe it and praise it.
Among them, Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head" is to use the bright moon to express his infinite thoughts and best wishes for his relatives, which is quite popular in my country:
When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine.
I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace.
I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable.
Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world.
Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly.
There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye?
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete.
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.
This sentence, "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together" and I don't know how many people in the world can still have a heart of hope for their families to be happy and healthy, even if they look down on the joys and sorrows of the world, and hope that they can enjoy the good wishes of this time together.
Later, this song was constantly sung by many famous singers Teresa Teng, Faye Wong and others, and it was constantly given a new meaning to this song, so the open-mindedness expressed in this song is also inspiring generations of young people.
In order to celebrate this day, of course, it is also to pick up the dust for his younger brother, who has not come back since May Day and Lisa left, but his father thinks he is choking enough.
The day before she came back, Zhao Xun also called her brother and asked him if he would bring Lisa with him when he came back, she was afraid that her father would still lose his temper if he looked at Lisa.
The younger brother told Zhao to find Lisa to go back to her parents for the holidays, and suddenly Zhao Xun felt that his heart had fallen in his stomach all afternoon.
Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of China's national strength, China's international status is getting higher and higher, and gradually many foreigners have begun to celebrate the Chinese Festival, and even some countries have begun to compile some of China's festivals into the schedule.
Today, my father personally cooked, Zhao looked for a pot, and divided it by two to make a big table of dishes, including braised pork, potatoes and beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, cold celery, cold pork belly, and the most important thing is that there is one, the pot noodles.
(If you read the previous article, you will definitely understand the meaning of this bowl of noodles, so I won't explain them one by one here.) )
The meal was almost finished, but I didn't see my brother come back for a long time.
The anxious father is like an ant swirling on a hot pot, going from one end of the house to the other, and from that end to this end.
"Dad, don't turn around, my head is too big when you turn it." Obviously, Zhao Xun was a little impatient.
"Look, don't you call your brother anymore, it can't be a temporary change, right? Why haven't you seen him come back yet? Something can't be wrong! ”
As soon as Zhao Xun took out his mobile phone, he heard a shout outside:
"Dad, sister, I'm back!"
The father looked outside, and it turned out that the younger brother had returned with a large bag, and this time he did not have Lisa with him.
When my father saw his brother coming back, he was so excited that he immediately took off his apron and ran towards the yard.
"You stinky boy, I thought I wouldn't be back today, and I was just about to ask your sister to call you and ask you what the situation is."
"No, Dad, the train is almost half an hour late, at first it was said to be 10 minutes late, and then it was said to be more than 20 minutes late, I was speechless, I knew that I would have taken the car back, otherwise I would have arrived home at this point."
"It's okay, it's okay, just come back, I knew that my sister would take you with so many things, and it won't sink." As he spoke, Zhao Xun took the things from his brother's hand.
"Dad, sister, these are all gifts for the two of you, and some food, all of which are Beijing specialties, by the way, let's eat that roast duck at noon, I went to buy it when I left, freshly roasted, you can taste it."
"You kid, your sister and I can buy anything to eat at home, you come back all the way back and bring something to eat, it's all blind spending, you don't earn much money in Beijing because the rent is expensive, and you don't spend money in Beijing!"
"Oh, Dad, I didn't spend a lot of money, besides, it's all a little bit of my heart, I'm finally making money now, and it's also wrong to honor you and my sister."
"Okay, Dad, don't talk about him, it's also a part of my brother's heart, you can take it."
"Alas, these sisters, I won't say anything, come on, come on, don't talk patronizingly, let's go into the house to talk, come in and talk, Dad has made a table full of meals, come in and taste them, they are your favorite dishes."
"Really, Dad! It's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking, I'm hungry, I always bite my mouth when I eat two days ago, so let me see if your craftsmanship has regressed. ”
"Haha, you want to eat meat, right? Don't you worry about your dad and me cooking, I'm a chef. ”
In other respects, my father may not dare to pat his chest and say that I am the best, but when it comes to cooking, my father is still the kind of person who can give a thumbs up and applaud.
Father and Zhao Xun and younger brother rushed into the house, the family was immersed in this happy moment, there is nothing happier than all this, people say that to love someone is to eat many meals with him.
I guess that's what they love.
But at this moment, when the whole country is immersed in the joy of family togetherness, there is such a family that may be living a life that even you can't imagine.
In this family, there is no father, no mother, or even a relative, only one sister and one younger brother, and the family is surrounded by walls.
That's right, if you have been watching my Wen come over, then you will definitely know the story of Liu Ya and Liu Jing's sisters and brothers.
My brother had three days off for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my sister was ready to work overtime and not go back for double her salary on holidays, but she had no choice but to let her brother have no mobile phone, so her sister couldn't contact her brother to tell him about the situation, so her sister dialed her father's phone number.
"Hey, uncle, I'm Liu Ya."
"Alas, it's Xiaoya, it's fifteen today, come to your uncle's house for dinner!"
"Uncle, I want to tell you something, that is, I have to work overtime in the past two days, and my brother has three days off for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will go back today, you can see if you have time, pass by my house and tell my brother that I can't go back these days, let him take care of himself."
"Child, uncle's memory is really getting worse and worse recently, just two days ago I went to your house to call your sister and brother to come over for dinner, you just happened to be absent, today fifteen I forgot to call you to come over for dinner, oops, look at my memory! Old fool, old fool! ”
The father expressed his apologies deeply on the phone, to be honest, my father sincerely hoped that the two sisters and brothers could live well.
"Uncle, it's okay to have your words, I Liu Ya don't ask for anything else, as long as I can provide for my younger brother to go to school and let him grow up safely, when I have a chance in the future, I will remember my uncle, and I will definitely repay my uncle."
"Don't say anything to repay each other, I just want to do my best to take care of your sister and brother, and when I go down in the future, I can have an explanation with Xianglian!"
"Uncle Xing, if you have anything, you can call me, my brother will be in trouble with my uncle."
The uncle's father, who was called a short uncle, felt a little uncomfortable, and sometimes he didn't even know what kind of mentality he had for the two siblings.
However, my father always remembered a sentence in his heart, between right and good, please choose kindness.
Not for anything else, but because you were born to be a human being.
Although the father did not have any conditions to bring a better life to their sisters and brothers, there was still a homely meal and a serious and caring word from the old father.
