Chapter 5 Be Prepared [Ask for Follow-up, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Monthly Pass]

"I'll tell you, Xiya, it's better to be prepared, after you move out, your grandfather and I will worry about you all day long, so one, three, five will prepare your favorite food, and two, four, six will prepare what you generally like to eat." Grandma rolling noodles.

The blind man stretched out his hand, pretended to fumble and picked up another shorter rolling pin, and rolled up the other half of the dough.

"Alas, look at you, what a good child, why can't your eyes be cured?" Grandma sighed, rolled the rolled dough on the rolling pin, then pulled out the rolling pin, felt the kitchen knife and cut it into sections, and then disassembled the sections, took out the wide noodles and put them next to the board.

"Grandma, don't be prepared now." The blind man said, "Grandpa Yuan's hybrid rice yield is so much, we won't be hungry." ”

"Hey, look at what you said, you shouldn't be hungry and you should be prepared." Grandma said as a matter of course.

"Be prepared" is grandma's life motto, he heard grandma say this when he was a child, basically he can hear it several times a day, and he can't count the fate of the ear and face, but it is true.

Every time grandma and grandpa will stuff the refrigerator to the brim, there are a lot of vegetables, meat, fish and balls, and there are noodles on the side compartment of the refrigerator door that are about to have an expiration date, and every time they eat it before the expiration date is approaching, and then buy a new one, but they just don't buy instant noodles, the blind man thinks that instant noodles are actually quite delicious, especially braised beef noodles, which he ate when he was sick when he was a child, and he felt that it was very "delicious".

"Not really, right? Grandma, now that science and technology are developing so fast, even droughts and floods will be solved quickly. The blind man said again.

"That's right, but you don't know, in 1959, when I was four years old, my grandmother basically didn't eat enough for the whole year, and then it was the same for two years." Grandma said, throwing the lasagna into the boiling pot, "Your grandfather is the same, we were both very young at the time, and our two families also supported each other to go through those three years, otherwise, it's hard to say." ”

The little old lady shook her head, and there was a hint of happiness in her tone.

Grandma was born in 1955, one year older than grandpa, and grandparents already remembered in 1959.

1959, that year, was the first year of three years of natural disasters.

At the beginning of that year, there was a drought, which affected the grain-producing areas of many major provinces, including Hui Province.

The blind man can't imagine the famine, even in Daqi, he has never encountered the tragic appearance of the famine, so he can't imagine it, and he doesn't dare to imagine it, because the famine can't be cut with a knife.

"Yayo, have you ever experienced hunger, don't you know, grandma and grandpa really ate elm bark back then."

The bark of the elm tree is rich in starch, which can be used to grind noodles, and the ground noodles are called elm bark noodles, so eating the bark is not really picking off the bark to eat, but making noodles to eat, which is also for the sake of satisfying the stomach, after all, in that period, being able to have a bite to eat is equivalent to saving a life.

Qin Xiya listened to his grandmother's "memories of bitterness", and also took apart the cut noodles, put them on a plate, and brought them to grandma.

Grandma took the dough and put it into the pot, and the "bitter memory" was over, and the little old lady began to mix the dough juice.

Chili sauce, chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, a bit like cold noodle sauce, but the ingredients are a little richer because there is also a large sauce made by yourself.

The blind man was helping by the side, holding the miso and helping to mix the sauce, and he also began to recall his own mistakes in the previous world.

In fact, he already knew his mistakes, and he also listened to Suo Po's sharp comments, but Suo Po saved him face, and his mistakes were not only what Suo Po said.

He obviously has enough true spirits, but he always waits until he can't defeat the enemy, causing so many people to die, which really shouldn't be, because he instinctively avoided it.

It is true that there is his own element of contempt in this fault, he always chops some offal, and those offals are indeed chopped, rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs, and because of the rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs, he gave birth to thoughts that should not have been.

This thought is, "I am so strong".

But is the blind really strong? He was indeed very strong in the face of rotten sweet potato and rotten bird eggs, but in front of Xuexiu and Li Jiuling, he was at a disadvantage.

After these two levels, is he strong? It was strong when he was in Pile Banner Town, but he was not cut by Yi Dao first?

Yi Dao is a little-known master, willing to be a horse bandit, not famous in the rivers and lakes, this "low-key" master is a little better than him.

If it weren't for Wudao, he would still be at a disadvantage.

From then on, the blind man realized that he was wrong.

He committed the sin of "arrogance", he thought he was strong, but in fact he was not that strong, because of this arrogance, he appeared to be contemptible.

In addition to arrogance is "luck", his luck comes from the "true spirit", he thinks that he has a true spirit, as long as he gets up at a critical moment,

Indeed, a few times he saved the day, but... He didn't have to save the day, did he?

Not to mention that sublimation and ignition require voice control, and it is common for him to be beaten and speechless, so he can only carry out sublimation and ignition operations when he is breathing.

He couldn't have been more wrong.

Blame grandma? How can it be? Grandma is not wrong, grandma's "preparedness" comes from her personal experience, which is why she stores a lot of food.

But he understood too late, grandma's "preparedness" was not what he understood, grandma's preparedness was based on the premise of "famine".

And the surface of "preparedness" that he himself saw was only based on [storage].

The true spirit is not equal to food, food can be stored and then eaten before the expiration date, food does not involve fighting, while the true spirit involves life and death, not only himself, but also the others he cares about.

The greatest use of the true spirit is to sublimate and ignite, so the real preparedness is not to store the true spirit, but to consume it, and to raise the karmic skills he has mastered as high as possible, which is the "preparedness" that belongs to him alone.

The blind man is always overstretched in the face of real masters, these masters have different specialties, and he is not an all-rounder, because he underestimates the enemy, so he will always embarrass himself, and even harm people who should not be killed.

The "arrogance" and "luck" that he didn't check were just like his "selfishness" when facing the bell, and he was ashamed to hide in the deepest part of his heart but didn't know it, and he would get lucky after one time, and there would be remnants after two times, until the blood lesson accumulated and exploded, and he didn't realize that he was so wrong when the blood lesson exploded.

Arrogance, luck, and selfishness constitute the "arrogance" that he is not aware of, and it is this [arrogance] that leads to the occurrence of things that should not have happened.

The blind man doesn't say it, but the guilt and remorse in his heart will not disappear because of [repentance], but will only increase with the times.

What can dispel this [repentance] is only the punishment and elimination of evil in his understanding,

He will atone for his sins, but this sin will not be so easy to atone, and all he can do is do what he can.

That's why he thought of finding a way to resurrect Lord Yang's family and resurrect the bell, because this was what he thought he should do.

His growth is not the same as that of other people, his growth is carried out in mistakes, but also in the lessons of blood.

He didn't see it clearly, and he didn't see it until he made a big mistake, and then he was mentioned by Suo Po, which was his "too late to make amends".

Now, he buried this "too late" deep in his heart, reminding himself all the time that he must never make the same mistake again.

He has indeed grown, this "too late" is buried in the bottom of his heart, and he does not intend to show it, he still wants to make himself look optimistic and positive as much as possible.

This optimism and positivity is not only for his loved ones, but also for those who he cares about and will care about.

Qin Xiya put the mixed sauce on the table, and grandma also turned on the radio, and some pop music was playing on the radio.

But that lyric sounds a little weird,

What do you mean by "You're my little apple, I can't love you too much"?

Is this the case with all the pop songs now?

But just listening to it, the blind man just thought to himself, is the strange pop music getting worse and worse? Obviously, many old songs sound very charming, and the aftertaste is long, so it won't get worse and worse, right? But that's not the point of the blind man's thinking.

He knew that his grandmother was taking care of himself, giving the blind man a different voice so that he would not be so "lonely".

But grandma didn't know that blind people are not lonely because they are blind.

He has already "seen" his grandparents, uncle, and the pastoral dog, his grandparents and uncle are very good to him, and the pastoral dog is also very close to him, and here, he will not be lonely.

Even, he saw the fridge full.

He faced his grandmother and helped his sunglasses, which were indeed a little uncomfortable and unaccustomed to wearing sunglasses.

The blind man said, "Grandma, don't be prepared now. ”

"It's good to be prepared." Grandma replied with a smile and fished out the noodles.

The blind man nodded: "Yes." ”

He handed the basin over, and Grandma poured the noodles into it, and then he poured the prepared sauce into the basin and stirred it with chopsticks.

Grandma's "be prepared" will continue to be practiced by grandma.

And the blind man's own "preparedness" will continue later.
