Chapter 16: Old Man Jiang's Farewell

"Trouble your daughter-in-law for a whole meal, I want meat, I want wine, I have to leave after eating a meal. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site) "Seeing that my father was stunned, Old Man Jiang said to himself.

"Let's go? Where to go? My dad didn't react, and subconsciously asked again: "What about Master Huijue?" ”

"He went back the other day." Old man Jiang answered very directly, but he didn't answer my father's other question for the time being.

"Master Jiang is here?" My mother also came out at this time, holding the jacket in her hand, but suddenly saw the old man Jiang's dress, she was stunned, and even felt embarrassed to give away the jacket.

Old man Jiang didn't care, and said, "The jacket was given to me?" ”

"Hmm." My mom was a little stunned.

"Then take it, aren't you going to send it yet?" In the face of my parents' surprised attitude, Old Man Jiang was much more comfortable.

There's no way, I'm afraid that the only person who wants to eat meat and drink wine in the morning is a weird person like Old Man Jiang, but my parents will never snub Old Man Jiang.

The old man Jiang lifted the chopsticks and began to eat, and the wine was also drunk, and it looked even sweet, even when my father pulled my mother away, he didn't care.

In the kitchen, my dad complained to my mom as if he was a child, "Master Jiang said he was leaving!" At this time, my dad finally came back to his senses, in his heart, he had unconsciously regarded Old Man Jiang as the patron saint of my family, and when he heard that he was leaving, my dad felt bottomless.

"Huh? Is he mad at us? "My mom is out of ideas.

My father gritted his teeth and pondered for a long time before he said: "It's really pitiful for Old Man Jiang to be alone, I've been thinking about it, otherwise I'll pass on our son to him as a godson, right?" It's not impossible to accompany him on the mountain, I don't want Master Jiang to go, I want to provide for him in the future. ”

"I can do it!" My mom was very much in favor of my dad's idea, and then she added: "But do you think Master Jiang is so old?" I'm afraid it's not our turn to provide for him, right? ”

The two discussed in the kitchen for a while, and when they returned to the hall, the old man Jiang was still eating and drinking, and from time to time he wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his tweed coat.

Hurriedly took a cloth and used it as a mouthwash.

After drinking another glass of wine, the old man Jiang sighed: "I have no other hobbies in my life, just eat in one, fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water." As long as the trees climb are delicious, I won't miss them, and eating all the food in the world is the biggest pursuit of my life. ”

My dad responded beside him, feeling that Old Man Jiang's pursuit was not bad, and at the same time thinking about how to open his mouth to Old Man Jiang and keep him.

But he didn't want Old Man Jiang to put the cup down by himself, but he said: "I'm here to say goodbye to your family, I'm leaving, I don't know if I can go back, let alone when I'll come back." ”

As soon as Old Man Jiang's words fell, my father became excited, and immediately stood up and said, "Master Jiang, are you angry with our family?" Don't go, I've discussed it with my mother-in-law, the third boy will be your godson tomorrow, go up the mountain to accompany you, and learn things from you, and he will dare not give you a pension in the future, you see I don't discount his legs! Don't go! ”

Old man Jiang looked at my parents with a little moved, he grabbed the wine bottle and wanted to pour himself wine, my father quickly grabbed it and poured it for old man Jiang, and drank three glasses in a row before old man Jiang stopped.

He opened his mouth and said: "The fate between me and the three sons of your family is the fate of master and apprentice, not the fate of father and son, the fate of this thing is here, unless you change your life, you can't avoid it, you can't be a master and apprentice now, but the time has not yet come, maybe it is fate, what do you say I am angry with you?" ”

My parents hurriedly responded, thinking that this still makes sense, just like Widow Zhou met Old Man Jiang, and then took this thread to let Old Man Jiang help his family, and then helped his family, this is a fate, and it can't be separated.

"I'm leaving, that's everyone's life has a responsibility, it's not a question of whether you want to or not, it's a question of what you have to do, I don't like it but I can't escape it, so I'm leaving. I pay attention to going with the flow, what will happen to me and the three boys in the future, just follow fate, there is fate and share, this life is destined to be a master and apprentice, or there is a fate and no part, empty joy, I am waiting. ”

Old man Jiang's words were too vague, and my parents heard it speciously, but they also understood what Old Man Jiang meant, and the two of them couldn't keep him because he was leaving.

Taoism pays attention to nature, and nature pays attention to conformity, so of course, the word fate is most valued by cultivators, just having a fate, is not enough, there must be a share, in order to put things into practice, otherwise it is just a fate of nothingness, just like many people who have passed by in a hurry in their lives, have intersected, and can only disappear in the sea of people in the end.

If you see through it, you won't sigh helplessly, it's just fate.

Old man Jiang said this, so he didn't mention it anymore, and no matter what my parents said, they didn't respond anymore.

It wasn't until he finished eating the wine and food that he took out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket.

First of all, he wrote a string of phone numbers, which was still a novelty at the time, and when my dad started holding it, he didn't understand what the string of numbers was all about.

"Here's the phone number." Old man Jiang explained.

My dad immediately remembered that he had been to the township office once, and that time he still accompanied the village cadres, just because the village cadres were from above at that time, and when they first arrived here, they were not familiar with the road, so they found a villager to lead the way, and they caught my dad.

There, my dad saw a black phone, the only time my dad had seen it in his life, and it was mysterious in his eyes, saying that the orders from above were basically conveyed through this thing.

"I sent the three boys tiger claws, to a certain extent, it is an act against the sky, after all, the three boys are destined to have a lot of fate in this life, with tiger claws, he should have met them, he bears them, he may not have to bear them. However, the cycle of heavenly dao, retribution is not happy, and if the retribution is not on him, I am afraid that it will affect your family. If in the future, if your family encounters any problems that cannot be solved, you can call this phone and say that you want to find Jiang Lichun. ”

At this time, my dad learned that Old Man Jiang's real name was Jiang Lichun, but he still looked embarrassed: "I don't know how to use the phone, where can I find the phone?" ”

"You idiot, you're not shrewd at this time, are you? You bring some good wine and meat to find someone to help, and you are afraid that you will not be able to use the phone? Others will teach you how to use it! Do you want me to teach this? Old man Jiang pointed at my father's nose and scolded, the image of the old ruffian came out again, and my father who scolded him only promised and didn't dare to respond.

Next, Old Man Jiang wrote another name on the paper, handed it to my father, and said: "When the time comes to look for me, report this name, saying that you are this person's father, remember?" ”

When my dad opened the piece of paper, he could barely recognize the word in front and the word in the back, and he couldn't recognize it, after all, my dad only had the level of a literacy class.

It's very simple, who can't recognize a word? The one in front is my father's last name, can he recognize it?

"Master Jiang? Who is this Chen Yiyi? Why am I his dad? "My dad is sometimes quite stunned.

"Chen Chengyi! Why can't you be his father? Didn't you give birth to your three boys? This is the name I gave to your son, why do you think you are stupid like this? Old man Jiang rolled his eyes angrily, explained it, slapped the table and lifted his snakeskin bag and walked out.

My parents wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop it, just like that, on this late winter morning, I watched the old man Jiang drift away, leaving a figure like a tall cadre, and never looked back.

Old man Jiang is gone, my family's life has returned to peace, life in the mountain village is always so good, time has passed in firewood, rice, oil and salt, and it has been seven years in a blink of an eye
