Chapter 63 Happiness, the Old Man Just read a book
When I finished handling the trivial matters, took Yuan Xi and Yuan Yi on my back to the bamboo forest building, the master was really there. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site)
I always have an uneasy emotion in my heart, for fear that I can't see the figure of the master when I walk to the bamboo forest building, but when I see the long corridor of the bamboo building, the master is crossing Erlang's legs, leisurely drinking tea there, my heart is down, a heartfelt joy ripples in the bottom of my heart, I can't say why?
After settling Yuan Yi, I washed my face with mountain stream water, Yuan Xi was amazed by the beautiful scenery here, like a butterfly, flying out happily, looking east, looking west.
I smiled at Yuan Xi's figure, and said in my heart, wasn't it the same when I first entered the bamboo forest? It's so beautiful here, it carries too many memories, so many years have passed, and nothing has changed, except for the land in front of the courtyard, where Master has planted some medicinal herbs.
When I left, I gave it to the people of the village, and when I came back this time, I saw that it was overgrown with wild flowers, was it an unexpected surprise?
"Or is the water here the most sweet, and the tea brewed is also the most sweet, do you want a cup?" Master said suddenly.
I sat next to the Master, and the cup of tea that the Master poured for me was the same tea leaves, and only the mountain spring water here can brew such a taste, which makes people nostalgic.
"Master, my parents said that they wouldn't live in the town, and they didn't have to do business, because the pension money was very sufficient. Before they went to Beijing last time, they had repaired the old house, and this time they went back to the village to live. "I told Master about my parents' arrangements.
The master was a little stunned, and only after a while did he say, "It's okay, people are always nostalgic when they get old." ”
I took a sip of tea and said, "Master, don't say you're very young, you're old too." ”
"I'm eighty-one years old, I'm not even a hundred years old, I'm not old, I still have a lot to do." Master smiled and said this to me.
The days of the bamboo forest were peaceful, and his parents moved back to the village.
I don't worry about my parents' pension, the income brought to them by that small building can make them very rich in their old age, and there is a clothing store on the street that is transferred to others, my mother said that they are about to become capitalist, which makes me happy.
I would often go down the mountain to the village to accompany my parents, and I felt very happy to see them raising flowers, grass and vegetables.
I would also go to see the villagers, but unfortunately after many years, I don't know many people in the village anymore.
I went to see his parents and gave him a sum of money, which was the money I earned more than three years ago plus what my parents gave me, which is not a small amount in the village.
Crispy Meat's mother said: "After so many years of not being at home, who wants him to drive a car back?" I'd be happy if he pulled a cart back and let me see if the others were okay. ”
But his father slapped the table and said, "Gua Po Niang, my son is doing a big thing, and there is a mother like you?" Drag the revolution back. ”
This kind of scene makes my heart sour, parents all over the world are the same, the kind of concern and fear of causing chaos to their children is so timid, but it is the most precious thing in a person's life.
I, speaking of which, leaving home all the year round can be regarded as an unfilial son.
Wandering around the village, there are many faces that I am unfamiliar with, but I can always see familiar faces, and I met Liu Chunyan.
Time flies, we are no longer the children of the year, when I was a child, I always 'hated' her, bullied her, so many years have passed, I met her again for the first time, and suddenly I feel that the memories of my childhood are also very precious.
I also thought of the letters I had never read, and of the woman she had been concerned about for years.
Crispy Meat always talks to her mouth, as if it is fake and not real, but I know that Crispy Meat is actually very serious.
I took the initiative to greet Liu Chunyan, but I didn't know what to say after that, after so many years, I was no longer a child, and it was inevitable to be embarrassed.
But I couldn't be so silent, and I asked her, "How are you doing all these years?" I heard that you work in the township government, which is very good. ”
"It's good, just do things seriously, and I was promoted to director last year." Liu Chunyan's tone was a little restrained and a little unfamiliar, but I always felt that she was a little sad.
I don't know why, but after being bored for a long time, I decided to help Crispy Meat inquire: "Are you married?" When will you see which male doll married you? ”
Liu Chunyan was silent for a long time before she said, "No, I'm not married." My former partner was in the army, and he died on the battlefield in '89, but the war ended that year. It's his bad luck, he said, I graduated from college and had a stable job, so he was ready to change jobs and get married. It's my luck that doesn't go well. ”
I knew what war she was referring to, and looking at her reddish eyes, I felt a little sorry for her, 26 years old, unmarried in the village, it was a very gossip thing, no matter how capable she was.
But if you don't get married, isn't it because you haven't forgotten?
It was dull for a long time, and all I could say was: "I'm sorry, but the festival is changing." ”
Liu Chunyan pulled her hair, her expression had recovered indifferently, and said to me, "There's nothing to be sorry for, Chen Chengyi." After so many years, didn't I come here alone? The work is also very fulfilling, when there is a suitable one, when can I almost completely forget, I will marry myself too. ”
I blurted out at once, saying, "Actually, the crispy meat is good, and I liked you very much when I was a child." ”
Liu Chunyan suddenly laughed and said: "Where is the relationship when I was a child, I hated you when I was a child, and later I thought you were good." But that's not like it at all, how can you understand this at that time? ”
Suddenly talking about this, I scratched my head a little embarrassed, and then said to Liu Chunyan: "Crispy meat is serious, he has been serious for so many years." ”
"Let's talk about it then, some things depend on fate." Liu Chunyan said to me indifferently.
Hehe, she told me a Taoist priest about fate, I suddenly laughed, so many years have passed, everyone has experienced their own life, something happened, said goodbye to some people, has their own mood and feelings, fate is also on the lips.
Is that an indifference, or a helplessness about life? I have no way of knowing that cultivating the mind is far more difficult than cultivating the body, because the state of mind is always nowhere to be found, and I only care about my own heart, whether I can touch it or not.
Such days passed quickly, in the bamboo forest, practicing every day, accompanied by the master, and often went down the mountain to accompany the parents.
Master also lived a very leisurely life, and he was as dedicated to Yuan Xi as he was to me back then, and occasionally, I would teach Yuan Xi.
Such days are very peaceful, so calm that I sometimes am in a trance, am I going back to the past, when I was in the bamboo forest Xiaozhu.
It is worth mentioning that Yuan Yi's body is really getting better here a lot, he still can't speak, but he spends more and more time awake every day, and even occasionally expresses some meanings, such as when he wants to get up and sit, he wants to walk.
His movement is very inconvenient, sometimes he shouts, he can't even control his saliva, it will flow down, like a child, but Yuan Xi will always push Yuan Yi around when he has free time, and he also likes to listen to Yuan Yi whining and shouting, patiently helping his father wipe his saliva.
I know that Brother Yuan Yi will get better and better, and one day, he will recover, and he will ask me again: "Chen Chengyi, how am I compared to you and your master?" ”
It's so proud, and it's so heroic.
Master and I also started to get busy, cutting down some bamboo, building some huts every day, and occasionally my parents would come to help.
I don't know when Aunt Hu learned that Master and I were back, but when Master and I started to get busy, he suddenly took a few people up the mountain, his face was full of excitement, and then we had a few more helpers for the project of building the house.
I completely forgot that Gao Ning said that he wanted to leave a letter to me, and I also forgot that in the south, winter always has to leave earlier, and spring has arrived in a blink of an eye.
Just when I was feeling the spring breeze, the first batch of people arrived, and I couldn't have imagined that it was Uncle Chen and Brother Chengxin.
