(Inscription: In the Dan Dao entrance ceremony of Wen Shiye, a sentence in "Lao Tzu" was mentioned: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs!") However, in "Lao Tzu", there is another sentence immediately after this sentence -- "The saint is unkind, and the people are the dogs!" What is the meaning of this sentence? What does Lao Tzu's so-called "non-action" mean here?

Yang Xiaokang doesn't seem to be as old as them, and they actually call him Brother Yang. I, Sister Ziying, and Ah Xiu stopped talking, and we all looked at this "Brother Yang". Yang Xiaokang replied with a flat face: "This is a restaurant opened by my friend, today I am here to invite my friends to dinner, you go out quickly, don't make trouble here." ”

The leader of the group said: "It turned out that Brother Yang, you covered the field with a misunderstanding, a little misunderstanding. I'm sorry to offend us, so let's go. As he spoke, the group turned and left.

Yang Xiaokang said again: "Stand and wait." ”

"Brother Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaokang: "You have driven away all the guests and haven't settled the bill! ”

"I know, it's a pure misunderstanding! Is 200 yuan enough?"

Ah Xiu suddenly spoke: "I don't need two hundred, a total of forty-two yuan and five cents." "This Ah Xiu really didn't take it seriously at all, and the accounts are still clear so far.

Someone put down fifty yuan, and the group of people finally left, and Ah Xiu shouted in the back: "Wait, find you, seven yuan five!" Sister Ziying slapped her hand: "Ah Xiu, forget it...... Ono, you haven't introduced you yet. ”

"This is our classmate Yang Xiaokang. "There's only so much I can say, and I really don't know the rest. Feng Junzi really didn't see the wrong person, this Yang Xiaokang is not simple. But who is he? The boss of the underworld in Wucheng? Not like this age!

Sister Ziying: "Thank you, Yang Xiaokang, please take a seat." ...... I can't let you have a treat today, so I have to thank you very much. What Ah Xiu said just now is not bad, the dishes I cook are no worse than those in Tianxiang Restaurant, you must try it. ”

Yang Xiaokang still wanted to excuse himself, and Sister Ziying gently pressed his shoulder, and he sat down honestly. Yang Xiaokang just sat down, and a voice came from outside: "Is Ono Ono here?"

It's really lively today, why do people keep coming to the door. As soon as I heard this voice, I knew who it was, the people who called me Ono were my parents and the elders in the village in addition to Sister Ziying, how did my father enter the city today?

I called "Dad" and hurried out, but one of them ran faster than we all did, and suddenly he came out of the door, came to my father, hugged one of his arms, and said, "Uncle Shi, why are you here?

"Ono, whose daughter is this?, why haven't I seen it?" Ah Xiu's affectionate appearance confused my father.

At this time, Sister Ziying walked out: "This is my cousin Ah Xiu, who is also a classmate of Shi Ye, and when I heard Shi Ye shouting Dad just now, I knew that you were Uncle Shi." ”

My father looked at Ah Xiu and said, "What a handsome girl...... Boss Han Ishino is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and the eldest of Grandpa Jin's family happened to come back with a pheasant in his mouth, and Grandpa Jin asked me to send it over to make a pheasant noodle soup for the child. ”

It turns out that tomorrow is my nineteenth birthday, and my father didn't mention it, but I forgot it. Hearing this, I felt a little damp in my heart, so I took my father's calloused hand and walked to the house and sat down, Ah Xiu took the cup, and Sister Ziying poured tea. At this time, Yang Xiaokang came over again to say hello: "Hello uncle." ”

Father: "Whose kid is this?"

"This is Yang Xiaokang, a classmate in our class. ”

Sister Ziying said again: "Yang Xiaokang, don't leave at noon today, Shi Ye's father is here." I happened to have some game from the mountains, so I made it at noon today, so let's eat it together. ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaokang couldn't excuse himself and sat down. Sister Ziying and Ah Xiu went to the kitchen to clean up the meal, and Yang Xiaokang and I sat down to chat with my father. I pointed to a cart parked outside the door and asked, "Dad, what's the deal with that cart of dates? We don't have any jujube trees at home?" Did you pull it?"

Father wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I brought it, it's not our family, it's Grandpa Jin's jujube, I went into the city to help him sell it, and it just so happened that the city was also celebrating the festival." ...... Later, you can ask Boss Han and Xiao Yang to also pack a bag of golden dates planted by Grandpa Jin, and now they can't buy them!"

This car of jujube is the golden jujube planted by Grandpa Jin. I don't know how many people have heard of this kind of jujube now? Nowadays, the largest planting area is the golden silk honey jujube and the big red jujube from Shandong, and the jujube is generally red when it is ripe. However, the golden jujube is different, it is pale green after ripening on the tree, it is plucked off and placed in a bamboo flat, covered with a hemp straw mat, and after a week, it turns golden yellow, and it also emits a unique fragrance, which is not only crisp and refreshing, but also can be used in medicine. Historically, this kind of jujube was a specialty of Wucheng, but now it is becoming more and more rare, because its yield is too low, and it is too troublesome after picking, and most of the fruit farmers have switched to other crops with more economic value. Only the orchard contracted by Grandpa Jin in our village has this kind of jujube, and he only collects a few hundred catties a year, and my father has pulled a cart to the city today.

Soon it was time to eat, and the dishes and chopsticks were set up on a table in the noodle restaurant. Ah Xiu and I didn't think anything of it, but Yang Xiaokang was full of praise for the food cooked by Sister Ziying. The pheasant only made half of it, and Sister Ziying said to leave half of it for me to have longevity noodles. My father didn't eat much, but he ate two whole bowls of noodles from the sea, and people who did manual work were like this.

During the meal, I asked my father how the dates were sold, and his father sighed and said, "In previous years, I would go to the market on Tofu Street and sell them as soon as I parked my car. In the first two years, management fees were charged, and there was nothing to pay for selling dates there, after all, I used someone else's place. But this year, I walked around Wucheng all morning and couldn't find a place to sell dates. ”

"What's going on? Didn't they all go into the city to sell dates in previous years? How could there be no place to sell them when Wucheng was so big?"

Father: "There are a few people on Tofu Street who wear red hoops on their arms and say that they are the market administrators above. They said that the documents that have just been issued this year are engaged in the construction of the city's appearance and appearance, and they are not allowed to set up stalls at will. I asked them where they could sell dates, and they wouldn't tell me. Later, someone passed by and told me that I could go to the farmers' market on the east side of the Phoenix Bridge, so I pulled the car and went to the farmers' market, but I had to rent a stall in that place, so how could I have a stall? The management fee collector didn't come, but a few boys came and said it was their place and wouldn't let me sell it. ”

"And then?"

The father sighed again: "I don't fight with them to pull the car and leave." I thought that Wucheng was so big, and I could always find a place to sell dates, didn't they all sell them in previous years? Later, I found a place on the side of the road, and as soon as I put down the car, there came two more administrators wearing yellow hoops on their arms. I want to confiscate my scale, saying that this place is not allowed to set up stalls, and I will let me go, as soon as I see the sun, I will come to Boss Han, and I haven't sold a pound of dates this morning...... Alas......"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaokang interjected: "Then how do the fruit farmers in your village sell fruits?"

Father: "The supply and marketing cooperatives collect a part and then give it to the big shopping malls in Wucheng, but the price is very low, and the quantity is okay." There are also fruit sellers in the city, who also have fixed-point contact, and they go directly to the orchard to pull. Like Grandpa Jin's golden dates, there is only one variety, a few hundred catties, and there is no way to approve it, in previous years, our family helped him go into the city and sell it himself. ”

At this time, the noodle restaurant had already 6 consecutive customers, and someone asked: "Who is the cart of golden dates outside the door? ”

When my father heard that someone wanted to buy dates, he quickly got up and went to the door to weigh dates, I held him down, let him rest, and walked outside the door to sell dates for him. Some people have never seen golden jujubes, and after inquiring about them, they are also very interested in hearing about them, and they have already sold dozens of catties after eating. Although there are a lot of jujubes, a cart of jujubes weighs 400 catties, and after lunch, there are not many people in the noodle restaurant, and it is impossible to sit here and sell them out.

After eating, my father looked very anxious, and he was in a hurry to go to the street to find a place to sell dates. Sister Ziying came over and said, "Uncle Shi doesn't have to sell it, sell me this cart of dates." ”

Father: "If you want to eat, you can take him from Grandpa Jin." But how can you eat this cart of dates? Isn't this asking for your money for nothing, I'd better go into the city and sell it. ”

I stood up: "Dad, you rest, I'll go sell dates in the afternoon." ”

Ah Xiu also ran over: "Okay, okay, I'll go with Brother Shiye to sell dates and play." ”

The father shook his head and said, "How can you two students do such a thing? ”

At this time, Yang Xiaokang stood up: "Don't fight. Uncle Shi, you always take Shi Ye to a place to sell dates after eating, and I will take you back after eating. ”

Father: "Do you know what other markets you can sell? ”

Yang Xiaokang smiled: "That place is not suitable for you to get old, besides, you are tired after pulling the cart all morning, let Shi Ye go." Without saying a word, he pulled me out the door.

......

Yang Xiaokang pushed the mountain bike, I pulled a cart of dates, and followed him on the streets of Wucheng, I don't know where he was going to lead me? I saw that he only walked along the main road, and actually turned a corner in front of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, bypassing the compound and coming to the back door.

Behind the compound of the municipal party committee is a large community, which is also the living area of the family members of the municipal party committee and municipal government, and the greenery in it is very good, but I have never been in. Because there is a guard at the door, wearing a military uniform, and an armed belt is tied around his waist, and at first glance, the frame is something that idlers like me can't approach.

But Yang Xiaokang told me to park the car at the gate of this living area. According to experience, the doorman will come over soon to drive me away, but the strange thing is that Yang Xiaokang walked into the guard's room, said a few words, and moved two stools out, handed me one and asked me to sit down and sell dates. The two of us sat in front of the cart and I was a little nervous.

On Sundays, the crowd at the gate of the compound came and went, and the two of us sat here like door gods, and quickly attracted everyone's attention. Most of these people knew Yang Xiaokang, and came over to greet with a smile: "What are Xiaokang doing here?"

Yang Xiaokang replied very simply: "Sell dates!"

"Then weigh me two pounds. ”

Yang Xiaokang said to me: "Shi Ye quickly called jujubes." ”

I quickly stood up and weighed two catties of dates, and the man paid ten yuan, and before I could find the money, I only heard Yang Xiaokang say: "Just don't look for it." ”

I remember that my father sold two yuan a pound in the store, which was already high in the price of all kinds of fruits in Wucheng at that time, but I didn't expect Yang Xiaokang to sell it for five yuan a pound when he opened his mouth, and the person who bought the dates was still smiling, as if he had chosen a big bargain.

There is the first one, and the second one is soon surrounded, and a group of people have paid for dates, as if they were robbing some treasure. Yang Xiaokang collected money, I loaded a cart of dates, and the dates went down quickly. It's very strange for these people to buy dates, most of them only weigh two catties and give ten yuan to a piece, it's not troublesome at all, I haven't even seen Yang Xiaokang looking for money. What's more interesting is that a few people came over to greet Yang Xiaokang, saying that at home, I heard that Xiaokang was selling dates outside, and tasted a few, others bought them, and thought the taste was too good, so they came over to buy a few catties more, and some people bought ten catties. I'm too busy to get around.

People who come and go look dressed as state cadres sitting in offices. In the past, I also sold things in the market, medicinal herbs, mountain goods, etc., and most of these people were very picky, rummaging through and picking endlessly. However, it's very strange today, I don't look at anything I buy, and I'm not afraid that there are rotten or long insects in the dates, and I don't even look at the scales, so I just buy the dates and go home.

I was busy when I heard a loud voice say: "This is a golden jujube that is a specialty of Wucheng, I haven't seen it for more than ten years, my old man is a little mixed, give me five catties!"

This is the first time I've met someone who buys a single number of people, who buys two catties, four catties, or ten catties, and gives the whole money without looking for it. I looked up and saw that I knew an old acquaintance. He is an old man with a crane boy's face, and he is the same old man who teaches me Tai Chi and Wufowl Opera in the stadium every morning. As soon as I saw that it was Old Man Gao, I hurriedly greeted, "Hello Old Man Gao...... Do you know that this is a golden jujube? How embarrassed to accept your old money, if you want to taste a few catties and go. ”

The old man also recognized me: "It turned out to be a small stone, I haven't seen you for a long time, you haven't been doing tai chi since the summer vacation, and our group of old people still miss you." ...... Why are you here to sell dates today? Oh, you two children who brought you here are interesting...... I'm also a little interested today, Xiaoshi give me the scale, and I'll help you sell it with Xiaokang. ”
