Chapter 19: Reborn in Pain
The two big jujube trees in front of my window grow very well, and the jujubes are red, big and delicious. In this way, it will always attract the attention of many people and cast a look of approval. So many friends also wanted to have them, so they came to the jujube tree one after another, and searched under the jujube tree, hoping to find the child of the jujube tree, the little jujube tree.
"Don't you have a jujube tree? "Several people have such a desire.
But to their disappointment, apart from a lot of weeds, they didn't find a single sapling.
So some people suggested that they should use a shovel to dig around the jujube tree, shovel off some roots and bury them with soil, and water them more, so that small jujube trees will grow at this time next year.
I was amazed! The jujube tree has been growing in my yard for so many years, but I don't know that only by cutting off the roots can a small sapling grow, and that the tree will not die if it is cut off?
She said no, such a big jujube tree has a lot of roots, and shoveling some will not affect the normal jujube tree jujube, and after shoveling, small saplings will grow from the broken scars.
So I couldn't help but say, a few friends picked up shovels and dug around the jujube tree, shoveling off many roots that stretched outward.
Sure enough, in the early summer of the following year, a new leaf bud emerged from the ground at every wound with broken roots, and the fresh and tender green leaves opened their arms to the hot summer and unfurled a small light green flag.
If this is true for jujube trees, what about other plants?
Last year, my brother contracted a piece of wasteland, surrounded by forests on three sides, and the ground is relatively flat, which is a very ideal land for growing crops. So the land is leveled, weeds are cleared, turned, sown and watered, and then look forward to the harvest after autumn. Unexpectedly, along with the vigorous growth of the crops, there are also poplar saplings, which are higher than the crops, and occupy this land in a mighty way. This is when the earth is turned, the roots of the trees in the ground are cut off, and a new life is born with the dealer.
Is it true that when all new life is born, it has to go through a process of pain and suffering, like the roots of the jujube tree, like the poplar tree, like the roots of other plants.
In fact, isn't our life just like the roots of these plants?
When a person comes into this world, the protective layer attached to the mother disappears. There are bright sunshine and dark corners in this world. There are spring flowers and thorny wastelands. Since people come to this world, they will inevitably suffer some injuries, spiritually, **, from the outside world, injuries are not terrible, the important thing is how to face it, what kind of courage is needed to be reborn in the pain.
We envy the halos, applause, and flowers that have been placed over the heads of some successful people. But do you know which successful person has a sad and painful story behind them!
At the age of twelve, before he was in junior high school, his father left them behind and went to another world, his mother had no job, and his younger siblings were younger. A family has no backbone, no financial resources, the living people still have to live, they need to eat and dress to live, and their children need to study. My mother began to do odd jobs to barely support the family. When he was fifteen years old, he had just graduated from junior high school and stopped studying. The reason is that the family really doesn't have the ability to let him continue reading. He is the eldest in the family, and he has to carry the burden of supporting the family for his mother.
Seeing that other classmates had gone to high school, his heart ached faintly, fifteen years old was the age of Ruhua, he really wanted to sit in the classroom and go to study carefree, which belonged to the happiness that should belong to his age. But the mother's sickly body and prematurely aged face, as well as premature gray hair. His heart was sour, he wanted to swallow the tears back into his stomach, and she was determined to take on the family for her mother.
That year he left home and went to work as an apprentice in a decoration company in a big city, and after a few years of apprenticeship, although he did not earn any money, he learned a skill. He decided to go home and start his own decorating company. Without funds, without a house, without customers, it is not easy to talk about it on your own.
Rent a small room on the street, a table and a chair, and the store will be opened. But many days passed, and not a single transaction was completed. He had no choice but to walk the streets and alleys, shop by store. Finally got some business, and slowly the business improved a little. However, the good times did not last long, and accidentally caused a fire. A fire burned away his years of hard work.
Maybe it should end at this time, maybe it should be another way to make a living.
But he chose to get up from where he fell, shake off the dirt on his body and start again. He reopened the shop, albeit with great difficulty. Eventually, he gained a foothold and became the largest decoration company in the city.
Liao Zhi, a girl from Sichuan, lost her legs and loved ones in the 5.12 earthquake. As a dance teacher, the loss of her legs is equivalent to the loss of her artistic life. But she didn't get depressed from then on, but worked harder and re-entered the performance stage. Dancing on her knees with her broken leg, the beautiful and agitated dance won thunderous applause from the audience.
Broken, scarred, then healed, regrown, and new life was born in suffering and pain.
Life is like this, it's like running, if you fall suddenly, you will get up quickly, make a simple adjustment, and you will continue to run forward.
The roots of these trees make me think of our human life, and human life is also full of all kinds of trials, do you have the courage to face all kinds of tests?
