Chapter 21: Serendibility
Life is always full of opportunities and challenges, when challenges come, a positive attitude is to face difficulties; And when the opportunity comes, a positive attitude is to grasp it with heart.
Parting should not be sad, but should have a more healing explanation, parting is for the next better encounter, for a better encounter, we have to become a better version of ourselves.
The post-disaster rescue work in Lihua Village is carried out in an orderly manner, because of the popularization of the knowledge of earthquake self-rescue, the earthquake did not have too many casualties, the earthquake came, it was too late to escape, most of them hid under the table or under the bed, fortunately the earthquake did not occur in the middle of the night, most people have not fallen asleep, most people have successfully avoided the disaster.
Five days later, a heavy rain fell in Ewha Village, which was like the nectar of poplar branches, washing away all the sorrows, and the rainbow after the rain gave the people in the disaster area a better hope.
……
Three years later.
One autumn evening, the sunset looks like a salted egg yolk, and it looks very delicious. Autumn is getting stronger, the evening breeze is a little cool, blowing the leaves of the camphor tree rustling, the willow tree next to it seems to be more afraid of the cold, and the color of the leaves is a little withered. There was a blue and white hammock between the two trees that had been swaying, and suddenly a book fell from the hammock, and the moment it hit the ground, the book closed "You Are My Dream".
"Liuliu, why are you still sleeping!" A familiar voice woke the woman in the hammock.
"Liuliu, didn't you go to the village committee again this afternoon? Tell me what you are doing as the deputy director of the village committee? Occupy the pit and don't! You can't give you everything back, Uncle Niu does it? ”
"Oh, Mom, can you please don't scare me, I just fell asleep!"
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, know sleep! Tell me about yourself this nap from the time you finish lunch and sleep until the sun goes down, are you a pig? Pigs don't sleep as much as you do! ”
"Mom, did you say that about your daughter? Aren't you scolding yourself in disguise? I'm a pig, so what are you? ”
"I'm down to business, you're poor with me!"
"I'm so happy!" After speaking, he stuck out his tongue.
"How old do you think you are, you are still skinned with me, you are 32 years old, girl, when will you let your mother be your grandmother?"
"Mom--, how did your painting style change so quickly? What about the freedom of marriage and the freedom of love? ”
"Freedom, how many years have you been free? It's time to take care of yourself and plan for yourself. Also, since you have taken the village official exam and become the deputy director of the village committee, you must be worthy of your work, you can't let the neighbors in this township see you laughing, you are also a college student, and the village official is also admitted by his own ability, so you should do more practical things for everyone. ”
"Oh, Mom, I know, I'll go to work on time tomorrow."
"Not only tomorrow, but also on time! Don't be absent from work all the time. You said that when you were rebuilding the village before, you ran up and down so actively, and now that the big guys have moved to new houses and stabilized, why are you starting to be lazy? ”
"Wasn't there no one in the village at the time? Didn't I catch the ducks on the shelves? ”
The post-earthquake reconstruction work of Rong County has been highly valued by the government, and the amount of disaster relief and reconstruction funds has been allocated large and fast, and the policy tilt is also large, but the relevant work of each village still needs to be implemented by the locals, because there are too few young people with knowledge and culture left in Lihua Village, most of them have gone to the city to settle down, Wen Liu has nothing to do at home, so he simply went to the village official examination, and with the advantages of the locals, he stood out in the selection at all levels, and successfully became the deputy director of the village committee, assisting the village chief Uncle Niu to deal with related work.
When he first took office, he had a lot of things to do, and he was busy all day long, but because he was building his own home, Wen Liu also enjoyed it. But now that the families have moved into the new house, Wen Liu feels that his role has been played, and he has relaxed for a while.
"You kid, since you've done it, you have to do it as a serious job, don't think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"Yo, Mom, when did you become a roundworm in my stomach?" Wen Liu jumped out of the hammock and smiled at Liu Sufang.
"I don't know if roundworms are roundworms, but if you dare to be single for the rest of my life, you are dreaming!"
"Mom, you can't jump so much, you just said work!"
"Okay, good, say your job. Your Uncle Niu told me that the government has spent a lot of effort for our village to attract investment, and plans to build us here into a tourist town featuring pear trees, and a group of developers will come to visit tomorrow, let me supervise you not to be late, and go to accompany you! ”
"Cut, let me accompany the guest, right?"
"What kind of accompaniment, it's so ugly, look at you now, although my mother is a rough person, she also knows that she is in her position, you don't always think that it is a good thing that we are stable here, you can't always sit and eat empty, take the villagers to get rich, and you also have a responsibility."
After Wen Liu listened, his face was black.
"Mom, I don't think you're a rough person, you're particularly cultured, just like who... Oooh, just like the director of our high school, he talked one by one, and he tricked me at once! ”
"You kid, what will you do to me?" Liu Sufang saw Wen Liu's solid appearance, and laughed and scolded her for a while.
"Okay, Mom, let's stop, you see the sun is setting, shouldn't you also cook for me and my dad, my dad will come back from work." Don't worry, I won't be late for work tomorrow. Wen Liu raised his assured hands at Liu Sufang.
"Okay, I'll cook, you don't play, go home early."
Wen Liu nodded obediently. Naughty appearance, there is no consciousness of being a 32-year-old woman at all, maybe it is the simple life in the countryside, Wen Liu is becoming more and more like a little girl, so that she herself has a feeling of returning to youth.
As soon as the voice stopped, the leaves continued to rustle. The setting sun pulled all the shadows into the elders, and before it was 7 o'clock, the crickets were already starting to call, as if to remind those who had not returned home to hurry back.
Wen Liu looked at the salted egg yolk-like sunset behind him in a daze, and suddenly felt that the years were quiet.
Wen Liu felt that it was actually not bad to continue like this, doing what he wanted to do in the land he loved, and living refreshed every day. Wen Liu stretched his waist, jumped out of the hammock, and went home.
However, the gears of fate will always turn, let the people who should meet meet, and let the feelings that should happen ferment. Even, sometimes it will surprise you, but I don't know if you will interpret it as a surprise or a fright.
