fourteen

As the saying goes: time is like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Time always passes quietly and rapidly with its characteristic steps. The quiet, silent, the fast, fleeting, shocking.

Early in the morning, after Wang Fan returned home from the distant provincial capital, he had no intention of catching up on sleep, or taking a break, so he came to sit at the small desk in front of the window and continued to pick up the unfinished work of carving some materials a few days ago.

Listening to the chirping of the tip of the fountain pen cutting through the mimeographed paper, it is a wave after wave, bright and rhythmic, clear and not lacking in charm, as if someone is playing an excited march in the bass. He was so serious and attentive, but he was about to engrave a booklet entitled "New Technologies for Current Cotton Production", which was a summary of his experience in visiting and studying in other places, and he wanted to engrave and bind them into a book and distribute them to everyone, so that they could learn and master their application at any time.

And with the erection and soaring of this burst of music, a few lines of clear, neat, and strong italic small characters immediately appeared on the steel plate oil paper in front of him. He glanced at it, nodded his head complacently, and then threw himself into the tense engraving, and in a moment he was already turning page after page, and then page after page—and suddenly a light breeze blew slowly, carrying the cold of early spring into the small window, and then pounced on his arms, and into his slightly dark face. He immediately felt a rare, soft and soft coolness and freshness, so he couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand, re-expand and expand his chest, intending to feast on the spiritual smell and brilliance of nature. But as soon as I looked up, I saw a pair of figures walking diagonally before and after picking up the steps in front of the window. fixed his eyes, but saw that it was a mouse and Hong Yun.

Wang Fan was a little confused for a while. Look at this Hong Yun came to Hong Sanwazi, since he left that day, he Wang Fan has never had a chance to talk to him about what a sentence or two. Hey, this kind of goods, ignore it, ignore it—— I don't know where he is, but what is he doing? Look at this majesty, he came to the door for the second time, and he worked hard to come over.

Thinking that there was no one in the hall for a while, he couldn't think about it carefully, Wang Fan hurriedly pulled out to greet the two.

"Look, this is really at home, and it saves you a lot of money. ”

The mouse split his head, and also revealed a momentary irritability.

Wang Fan said with a smile: "Ran away in vain? This is all look at what you said, like my place is the valley of wrongs, isn't it, and I have to repay my grievances even if I come back many times." I don't know if I have to move the chair and stool here. As he spoke, he took a small wooden chair in his left and right hands and handed it over.

Knowing that he was in a hurry, he hurriedly smiled and said: "There, there, where are you talking! I was just busy working, my third brother said that he saw you back, and if he had to stick to me, he asked me to accompany him to you." ”

"Oh——!" Wang Fan didn't understand for a while, and looked at the consumption and Hong Yunlai: "Is it because Brother Yunlai has something to come to look for me?"

The mouse rushed forward and said, "That's the case." It doesn't really matter. He just talked about this a few days ago, he was in a hurry, so he was reckless with your tongue, and he also played tricks, so he couldn't get over it in his heart, and he regretted it, and said that he wanted to talk to you in person, so please spare him this time. But is that so, third brother?"

Hong Yun came to see and said, so he looked in his arms and touched it, but found out two pick-up yuan bills: "Wang Fan, I'm sorry that day." This is the compensation I deserve. ”

Wang Fan said: "The matter has already passed, why do you mention it." Besides, I didn't let go of it. ”

Mouse said: "You are you, he is him." You can't just let you show your attitude and not allow others to express your feelings. ”

Wang Fan said: "This is more serious. In fact, if everyone is willing to take a step back in time, they don't care about each other. ”

Mouse said: "Posture is posture, responsibility is responsibility." Let's stop talking nonsense for now. If you accept the damages, it means that everyone has to understand and pass, what do you think?"

Hong Yunlai came up and said: "Brother Fanzi, I Hongyun is reckless by nature and has no knowledge, so I can't say a sentence or two that sounds better, but what Xian'er just said is what I Yunyun said in my heart." ”

Wang Fan said: "Look at what you said. - If you two do not want to do so, I will receive ten dollars, ten dollars. Who still has a grudge against money?"

He received ten dollars in his hand, and he refused to do it again.

Seeing this, he said, "Okay, okay, it's everyone's meaning." ”

Wang Fan said: "I'm afraid it's all your idea." ”

He smiled slightly, and then said: "Just now, I didn't have time to ask, this time the matter of going to the provincial city is still going well, right?"

Wang Fan said: "If it's smooth enough, there may still be some amount owed." ”

"If you owe some money, is there a way to solve it?"

"Let's see, Professor Sun has a number, let's find the county. ”

"The professor has spoken, and this must be fine. ”

"Not necessarily, is this layer a layer-"

Seeing that Hong Yunlai was uncomfortable, he said: "In this way, I still have something to do at the moment, when this matter comes over at night, let's talk about it in detail?"

Wang Fan said: "I'm always welcome here!"

There is a proverb: the prodigal son does not change his money when he turns back. However, it was said that this flood had come to the Wang's house to thank him, and it was not easy. I didn't know that after this flood came to do something and left the Wang family, it really seemed like a great matter, full of joy and complacency. I didn't even care about looking at the mouse and saying "thank you" something, so I swayed slowly, and walked along the road in fact, I want to elaborate, just like some people in this reality, this Hong Yunlai was not born with a preference for recklessness and recklessness. He also thought about being an upright person and a good person. His Venerable Master had admonished him and his family had demanded so from him. He has two sisters and brothers, and he is a man, and everyone's hope is in him. But one of his talents is not true: he was born clumsy and clumsy, and his qualifications are not very good; after the age of seven or eight, he still can't say a word, but he still has to be served by someone to eat, drink, and Lazar, let alone go out to study, or something.

But if you want to talk about his real personal sorrow, it's not all here. It is not unique in reality that he is clumsy and too late to save trouble, but he has a very strong and superstitious old lady.

This woman had three children and had a child, and she was regarded as a living treasure. If she is very young, she can't argue (Huigen), and when she is a little older, she doesn't look at or think about her son's weaknesses at all. It wasn't until he was five or six years old that she didn't grow any better, and she panicked. But she didn't go to seek medical treatment, and she didn't come to follow the teachings, but she quietly carried him out and went to visit a certain 'immortal master'. But I didn't think that the old gentleman looked left and right, but he said that although he seemed to be stupid, he actually had the root of wealth and wealth, and he was like a blessing. He who said that he would become a great thing in the future. Needless to say, this is exactly what the woman secretly expected, and she was naturally convinced after hearing it. That is, after fighting this incident, she was going to talk about it when she met someone, saying that her son was the reincarnation of Xue Rengui, and that a certain star in the high heavens was aborted! There is no need to say it, in the past, her son was inferior to others in all aspects, and there would be all kinds of discussions and opinions in the neighborhood, but she couldn't see it, and someone said this and there in front of her son.

It was since then that she treated her son as a rare treasure. If you usually go home or go out to play, until you go to school after a little saving, you will be picked up and taken care of by a special person. That formation is really 'holding it in the mouth but afraid of melting, pinching it in the palm of the hand and afraid of flying away'. She was only silently looking forward to the day when her son would become stubborn and outstanding, and that day would come sooner.

It's really pitiful, this woman's good intentions for her son. Compared with this scene, this son is here, but he was only born in happiness, and he has never been very good at understanding and understanding. There is a way to sow melons and get melons, plant beans and reap beans. As a result, this son only cultivated a sense of superiority and pride in his heart, which is everything that others can have, and he also has what others don't have, and as long as it is what he wants, what he can imagine, his wife has almost nothing to be satisfied with. That situation, that magnificent situation, as if Lao Tzu was the best in the world.

This pampered habit, fearlessness, coupled with the defects of the foundation, can bring about the achievements it can bring. And I want to explain it halfway here, saying that there is another little secret in this baby, that is, as mentioned at the beginning of this story, he has a disease or something. Not really. It is true that he had this evil problem at this young age, but when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, the disease gradually broke off; he did not know, he did not know that others regarded the disease as a demon and a beast of prey, and what he experienced and obtained from it was a very interesting and joyful one. This is not a joke. Because of him, a very small illness and extreme attention and pampering, which is more important, but he feels it very clearly. It was also under some unintentional teasing and inducement that he began to try that kind of hateful and shameful performance when he was rebellious and unsatisfactory; to put it bluntly, most of his morbidity after that was deliberately pretended by him for a while—but said that although this son was a little nasty, he had to slowly open up. After going through a period of life in ignorance, this baby suddenly felt some kind of deficiency in his heart: look at the babies of the same age in this continent, they all have girlfriends sooner or later, and some have married and added babies. Perhaps he had relied on this old lady for everything, and he was used to reaching out to her, but that day he suddenly came up to stop his old lady, saying that he wanted her to hurry up and ask for a 'match' - this time it made the woman wake up suddenly. Thinking about it for many years, she didn't expect her son to be a late bloomer and get ahead, so she always felt that he was still so delicate and young, and she wondered if the time had not yet come. How do you know that these years are not forgiving, and in the blink of an eye this son is already in his twenties, and his body is strong and strong, and it is time to find a family for him, and he should find one anyway; She was going to ask someone to pull the strings for her son. said that thanks to the red luck in this early years, her family could still have some popularity, so just a few days later, I saw a few mothers-in-law talking back and forth, and then they were going to go on a blind date. I didn't know that this time it was very unsatisfactory to this woman. It turned out that she looked secretly a few times first, but what she saw was either ringworm or pouting, as if she was picking out ugly people one by one. In the end, she couldn't help but scold all the mothers-in-law for a while, and drove them all back. She could understand what kind of person they thought of their precious son. She can't tolerate them, and would rather her son never marry for a moment. Also, she believed in Mr. Na's words and pinned her hopes on that 'future'.

You'll just wait and see—it's only a matter of suffering for this moment. In fact, if you talk about it carefully, he was just born clumsy, too late, and lacked the necessary upbringing (which is also the result of the woman's wanton indulgence), but now, he is not able to stand for swan meat, and the ugly duck is not allowed to move. He was really bitter and anxious in his heart, the more anxious he became, the more bitter he became, and in the end he went to play a scoundrel, a scoundrel to a girl of the same generation, a scoundrel to passers-by, and a few times he almost made trouble.

It's really a blessing and a blessing, there are high-wind people such as Hong Renxuan around him, who are not disgraced, never tired of giving up, and always patiently give him correction and guidance in a timely manner. And now, at this moment, he has made a personal vow, saying that in the future, he will be courteous and reasonable, know honesty and shame, and be a good person
