Chapter 5 The Second Master
The second uncle left himself this hotel that has not yet been built is similar to the layout of the courtyard, facing the side of National Highway 109 is the store, the two-story building, the interior decoration of the two-story building has been completed, Liu Moang slept in a room on the second floor of this small building last night.
Behind the store house is a yard with a length and width of about 20 meters each, an area of about 400 square meters, boxy, three flat-roofed bungalows surround the surroundings, there is a gate on the west side of the yard, after opening the door, the car can drive directly into the yard.
It's just that compared to the two-storey building that is used as a store, these three bungalows have only been built, and even the doors and windows have not been installed......
The ground of the courtyard was also not tidied up, but on the side near the store, a piece of ground of about 20 square meters was paved with red bricks.
The spring was in the southeast corner of the courtyard.
Although Lao Liu was looking forward to drinking another cup of that magical spring water, the spring water that had been drunk just now only gushed out a little.
Lao Liu, who was a little disappointed, sat on a few red bricks casually, and then entered his consciousness into the Five Elements Jade.
Looking at the big characters in the Five Elements Jade, and thinking of the two streams of green gas that flowed from himself and Tashi Dawa during breakfast before, and then looking at the green crystals in the big hourglass, Lao Liu thought thoughtfully.
"Goodness is like water, that is the words in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", which basically means to make people good. But it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all, Mencius's words! The two of them are one Taoist and one Confucian, and the age difference is more than 200 years, why do these two sentences appear here at the same time?"
Well, but judging from the superficial meaning of these two sentences, it seems that there is a bit of a common meaning. One sentence is to persuade others to be kind, and the other sentence is to let everyone play happily together. If you add the two streams of green gas that you just ate with......"
In an instant, Lao Liu's thoughts were clear, and he seemed to understand the relationship between the big characters in the Five Elements Jade, the Five Elements Hourglass, the Big Hourglass, and the two streams of green gas and green crystals.
Benevolence is like water is proposed by Lao Tzu, which literally tells what "goodness" is, but in fact it is persuading people to be good.
In another ancient saying, it can also be seen as "do not take the good for the small, and do not take the evil for the small".
In any case, this is an aphorism to persuade others to do good.
What are the benefits of a person doing good deeds? Let's not talk about those illusory things like accumulating yin and virtue, but from the act of doing good deeds alone, when a person does good deeds, he helps those in need. Then the person being helped will inevitably produce a sense of pleasure and a sense of gratitude.
And when a person who does good deeds sees a smile on the face of the person he helps, his mood is naturally happy and happy.
Even the simplest good deed of helping the grandmother cross the street will make the grandmother happy, and it will also make herself happy.
As long as you do a good deed or a good deed, then at least two people are happy. One is someone or someone you're helping, and the other is yourself.
This is probably the meaning of the phrase "it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all".
And when a person has pleasure or happiness, then this big hourglass in the Five Elements Jade will absorb this happiness, and eventually become that green crystal under the action of some magical power......
The function of the Five Elements Jade seems to be to ask the "host" to do more good deeds and help people, so as to make people happy and happy, and then the big hourglass in the palace will absorb this happiness and eventually transform into that green crystal......
Although he can't be sure yet, Lao Liu always feels that what he is thinking about seems to be right.
This result made Lao Liu inexplicably happy.
Sure enough, a small wisp of green gas that was much thinner than the green gas just now came out of his body, and then was quietly absorbed by the big hourglass, and finally transformed into that green crystal......
"Okay, since this green crystal came from like this, let's make you happy!" Lao Liu muttered to himself, not thinking that the name was scummy.
There's no way, who made this guy famous at a level of only five, or scum five......
It seems to have figured out some secrets of this Five Elements Jade, which made Lao Liu a little happy.
He returned to the room on the second floor and stood in front of the statue of the second master and put on three sticks of incense.
"Second uncle, when Brother Jeb's light box plaque is ready, our hotel will open. Although it is not open to the public yet, I will be busy with these things immediately, which can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of you and my second aunt. But you and the second lady can be blessed in heaven and our hotel will have a prosperous business in the future......"
Standing in front of the portrait of the second uncle, he chattered for a long time, looking at the familiar smile of the second uncle, Lao Liu couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
When Tashi Dawa received a phone call, the whole family was confused.
That's his own second uncle, his father's brother, his mother's eldest brother, and his blood relatives who can't be kissed anymore.
But just in time for my mother's body, there was also a little problem, a common gynecological disease - uterine fibroids. When I received the call, my mother had just undergone surgery and was in the hospital.
Dad has to serve his mother, and the hotel at home is inseparable from people, so Liu Moang, as a junior, was sent by his father and mother. After all, Tashi Dawa didn't know what illness his Wangdui uncle had at that time, and he just complied with the doctor's request to let the patient's family come quickly, and it was undoubtedly the best choice for the father and mother to send Liu Moang over in this situation.
As a result, when Lao Liu got off the plane and rushed to the hospital, he was also dumbfounded when he learned that the second uncle was in the advanced stage of lung cancer. Don't say that he was dumbfounded, even the father and mother at home were dumbfounded after receiving the call. Dad was about to fly over on the spot, but the second uncle stopped him on the phone.
The reason is very simple, it's useless for you to come, you can't come to my illness to be cured, so you still have to serve your brother and sister at home. You can't delay the illness of your brother and sister for the sake of someone who is about to die.
The father had no choice, so he transferred 500,000 yuan to his son, and told him to take good care of the second uncle.
But this is an advanced stage of lung cancer......
The old man was transferred to the hospital for more than ten days, and he passed away due to multiple organ failure.
From a very young age, Liu Moang knew that he had a second uncle in the plateau, and this second uncle would go back to his hometown almost every year to see his grandparents, and he was also very fond of himself. Every time the second uncle returns to his hometown, he will leave some small things for himself, sometimes all kinds of small objects made of authentic Tibetan silver, and even give himself a small gold lock.
Liu Moang clearly remembers that when he was a child, he had a few years, and he looked forward to the second uncle every year, because as soon as the second uncle came, he would bring a lot of good things to himself, and he would take himself out to play, and he could play anything.
Later, when he grew up, Liu Moang knew what was going on with his second uncle.
The second uncle was on the plateau when he was a soldier, and when he was a soldier, he fell in love with a local Tibetan woman, although this is not right, but he can't hold his feelings, this thing is inherently unfathomable. After the second uncle recovered, he did not stay in the city to work after returning home, but returned to the plateau to marry the woman.
For this reason, the grandfather was so angry that he almost had to break off the father-son relationship with the second uncle. Even when the second uncle got married, grandpa and grandma didn't care, and the second uncle took the second aunt home, and the grandparents almost kicked him out......
More than two years after the two returned to the plateau, the second mother gave birth to a child, and as a result, she had a heavy hemorrhage. In the early 90s, the medical conditions on the plateau were far worse than now, and the most important thing was that the second grandfather's family was in a remote pastoral area, more than 50 kilometers away from the nearest county seat. So when the only ambulance at the county hospital arrived, the person was gone.
The second aunt left with the unborn child, and the second uncle was so stimulated that he almost went crazy. When he had recovered his strength, he left the sad place and began to wander about, like a vagabond. It's just that every year I go back to my hometown to see, stay in my hometown for about a month, and then return to his home in the plateau for about five months every year, accompany the portrait of the second aunt for about five months, and at the same time be busy with the work at home, and the rest of the time is out to wander around, for more than 20 years......
Although the grandparents later forgave the second uncle because of the death of the second aunt, the tragedy has been formed, and the second uncle has not stayed in his hometown, but when he grew up, Lao Liu understood the love of the second uncle for the second aunt.
Now, the husband and wife, who have been separated by heaven and man for thirty years, are finally reunited in heaven......
Two days later, Tenzin Jebu returned to the inn with a large group of people, along with the finished lightbox plaque.
August 1st, a very, very memorable day.
On this day, on the north side of the road at an altitude of 4,006 in the section of Abacuo Village, Zhongning Township, Dangquka County, Riguang City, Qinghai-Tibet Highway, a roadside hotel called Tianlu Inn opened quietly.
There was no sound of firecrackers, no music, and there was no congratulations from anyone else except for the congratulations of two Tibetan compatriots and 17 Bashu men who were doing the decoration.
But the Paradise Inn is really open!
