Dashan Makes a Living 1984: Chapter 256 Life is plain as water

   Hearing what the young man said, Wang Tianxiao thought it was quite interesting.

   It seems that although he is honest, his observation skills are still very strong.

  He didn't continue to be polite, he gave the things to the young man directly, and continued to carry things. After spending another half an hour, he finally moved all the dishes on top.

   Come down for the last time to pull Wu Culture and them.

   "Brother, you really don't want to sit up with us. The above is the station here. There are vacant rooms inside. It's warmer than the car."

   "No need, brother, to tell you the truth, those of us who run outside for a long time can't leave the car, or we won't be able to wake up at night, and we will always worry about something wrong with the car..."

  The young man spoke very frankly, and Wang Tianxiao could understand it.

  This agricultural vehicle costs at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and many people may have raised funds to buy it. The food is also a common dish for everyone, and the young man is a representative.

  If the car belongs to the young man himself, then he may have borrowed a lot of arrears in order to buy this car.

  So this car is like Sun Shaoan's donkey, which is all his belongings. Once something goes wrong, he will fall into the abyss completely, and it will be impossible to climb up again.

  They would rather suffer a little bit, but also take care of his car so that it will not be stolen or damaged by others.

  After all, not everyone is as good as Wang Tianxiao.

  People in this world are bad.

  Since the young man was unwilling to go up, Wang Tianxiao did not continue to insist. He told the young man to keep warm at night. Although it is not nine, the temperature at night has reached minus seven or eight degrees, which is quite cold.

   Then return to the station.

  Above, the people at the station have put different types of vegetables in different places in the warehouse according to his instructions.

  Those that have been broken or bumped, should be picked out separately, and packed up overnight, and the touched parts should be removed, so as not to let it continue to expand.

   Prepare to deal with it tomorrow.

  Wang Tianxiao was delighted when he saw the tidying up.

  He is now sitting on a huge sum of five or six million yuan, and he is stable and has dividends every month.

   Now he can finally live the life he likes, free and unrestricted by anyone.

  He has always felt that human freedom is relative.

  If you want to be free, you must first have the capital and ability to be free.

   If he's penniless and thinks about being free, he's not.

  Like water without roots, even if the colorful shadows are refracted by the sun, it is only a short moment without any sustainability.

  A drop of water, if you want to live freely, you must let yourself become the sea.

  The sea is the real freedom.

  Wang Tianxiao has devoted his whole life to developing his career. Although he wants to make a career and prove that he is not bad, he also has the idea of ​​wanting to be free and free from any constraints for a lifetime.

  Anyway, his freedom is not about running to some strange place and enjoying the absolute freedom he thinks in his heart, but like now, he can have his own small world, and his wife and children are very comfortable.

   "Shopkeeper, why don't you soak your feet later?"

  Li Yali is preparing tomorrow's breakfast in the kitchen.

  Seeing Wang Tianxiao passing by the kitchen door, he called him from inside.

  Wang Tianxiao walked into the kitchen, and saw Li Yali sitting under the pot burning a fire, so he went over and hugged his wife by the waist, sat down and continued to cook.

  Li Yali got used to her husband's gentleness, so she started kneading the dough beside her.

   This is to produce leaven.

  Different from later generations, people steamed steamed buns and buns with baking powder such as baking soda, or with ready-made yeast.

  The yeast at this time is called a yeast because each time the fermented noodles are used, a part will be left alone as the initial yeast source for the next fermentation.

   Isn’t it like yeast giving birth to a baby, so it’s called a yeast.

  Add half of the noodles to the starter, stir it up and put it in a warm place to ferment.

  It is usually placed in the corner of the kang, with a quilt covering it, otherwise the temperature in winter is too high, and it is impossible for the yeast to ferment.

   But there is a danger in this method, that is, the yeast will continue to expand during fermentation. The yeast noodles that were originally half a pot may swell to the point that it cannot fit in a pot, and eventually overflow and flow everywhere.

  Don't ask Wang Tianxiao how he knew, if he is not a person who kneads dough frequently, he usually cannot grasp the amount of dough, and this kind of problem is very easy to occur.

Just like people who don’t cook well, when cooking rice, they don’t know how much rice corresponds to how much water. The result of blindly adding water is that the cooked rice is still sticky porridge, or it is dry and inedible, or even becomes Rice crackers, rice grains are not fully cooked.

  In fact, there are many ways to steam steamed buns.

  In the early years, the measure of a daughter-in-law or woman's tea and rice was to see how well their steamed buns were steamed.

  If the ratio of fermented noodles and raw noodles is not suitable for steamed buns, the steamed buns that come out will either grin or be lifeless and taste a little sour.

  If the steamed bun looks a little green, it means that the temperature of the steamed bun was not raised quickly after putting it in, and the steamed bun is not full of air.

  That's why there is the saying that there is no need to steam the steamed buns.

  If the color of the steamed bun is okay, but it doesn’t taste good, it means that you didn’t knead it hard or knead it for enough time.

etc.

  At that time, Wang Tianxiao had a cousin who was very good. She could knead steamed buns with both hands at the same time, and the steamed buns were all the same size, round and beautiful, and she was famous far and wide.

  You must know that steamed buns are always present at weddings and funerals in Qingcheng. If the steamed buns are not steamed well at home, the host will be very disgusted if you bring them to other funerals.

  Even if you don't dislike it, you are too embarrassed to take it out.

   When everyone was eating, they saw that a certain steamed bun was steamed very badly, so they would naturally ask who it was, and it must be gossip.

Taking the steamer at home as an example, about 24 steamed buns can be produced in one pot. The thirty-two steamed buns originally needed to be steamed in two pots, but after steaming in one pot, many of them were found to be cracked. After steaming a pot, some of them are green, so it’s not enough...

  Many times, to make up enough thirty-two steamed buns for others, you may have to steam four or five pots of steamed buns.

   As a result, after picking out for others, there are still a bunch of crooked melons and split dates left, and it will take many days to finish eating.

   However, Li Yali does not have this kind of situation, her steamed buns are quite good.

   "Why didn't you let the young man come up? I read the weather forecast and said it might snow at night."

   "Really?" Wang Tianxiao didn't know about this yet.

   "Yeah, didn't you say that a few days ago, the cold air is coming, the boys have come to our mountain, why don't you say hello, in case there is a problem with the freezing, what should we do?"

   "I can't help it. I have invited him several times. The young man is very stubborn, but he is reluctant to part with his car. I think so. After all, we are all strangers, and he may not be too relieved."

  Li Yali was stunned, and nodded, "That's right. People's hearts are not as good as before. People are on guard, so everyone is tired, and they don't know what to do?"

   "Maybe it's in response to that sentence. Fighting with others is a lot of fun. Anyway, everyone is guarding against me, and I am guarding against you. No one suffers."

   "Haha, heresy."

  Li Yali was keenly aware of the sneaky change of concept in her husband's words, and said with a smile.

   "Haha, there are some things, he just wants to explain them with fallacies. If you really want to find a reason from the right way, it is basically impossible..."

  Wang Tianxiao was talking, and suddenly remembered about Wu Qiancai, so he worriedly told Li Yali what the doctor said.

  Li Yali didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and she suddenly looked sad.

   "Then what should we do? Are you really going to hunt bears? Bears are not jackals, so they are not easy to hunt."

  Li Yali knew that her husband must have such thoughts.

  She felt that there was no reason to stop it, but if she supported it, she felt that it was too dangerous, and she was immediately caught in a dilemma.

   "I don't know, where can I buy some?" She thought about it and asked Wang Tianxiao tentatively.

   "It's not easy to buy."

Wang Tianxiao sighed, "Hunting bears is no different than hunting other wild animals. You must be very experienced and have a gun. How can ordinary people have such skills. Besides, there are no bears near Yangziling, and no one has a gun." , so it is scarce.”

   "That's true." Li Yali kneaded her face mechanically, she didn't know what to do, it was beyond the range of her methods.

   "I'm still going to try it. After passing Yangziling, go west to Mengbaling, and then west is Xiazigou. It is said that there are often bears going out there."

   "How dangerous is that? There are already wolves and leopards in Meng Baling, and there are jackals, honey dogs and other things. If you want to go through Meng Baling and go west, the danger will not be multiplied?"

  "Danger is definitely dangerous, but you have to try it. Brother Qiancai was injured because of me. We can't sit idly by. That's not in line with my principles of life."

   "I know, things must be done, just think of how to do it. Anyway, even if you want to hunt bears, you must not be able to do it alone. You need help."

   Li Yali was worried that her husband might misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained.

   "Well, I thought the same way. If I wasn't prepared, it would definitely be inconvenient to go directly. However, Brother Cui is coming to our place soon, so I can go with him when the time comes."

   "Really, with Big Brother Cui here, it is indeed much safer. You both have guns, and you have a good understanding with each other. It must be much better to do things than you can just find someone."

   "That's the reason. It depends on when he arrives. Anyway, it's just a few days."

   "That's a good relationship."

  Li Yali finally felt relieved.

  Since the husband has decided to do it, she will not stop it.

  Men, as long as there is no problem with the general direction, let them do what they want to do.

  He kept blocking left and right, and gradually he became afraid to do anything, and finally he was obedient, and he was completely useless.

  The charm of a man lies in the male spirit of not admitting defeat in anything.

   Domesticating a man is actually killing the most interesting part of him, and the product you get will soon get tired of it.

There is no one in this world who is tired of eating chili, but sweet things are often eaten and they are not interested. A hot pot is eaten from the beginning to the end, sweating profusely, and it is so spicy, but it is still enjoyable. , but a cake, no matter how much you want to eat it, you will feel tired after a few bites.

  Life is full of knowledge and truth.

  Following the truth will make life full of wisdom everywhere. If you just don’t believe in anything, you will often suffer the loss. In the end, you will get nothing and will only blame others.

  Li Yali has always felt that she is not a particularly smart person, so she has always used her mother's teachings to demand herself.

My mother has repeatedly said that in life, no matter what you do to others, you have to ask whether you have a conscience, and what you do to your own family, you have to ask, if you treat them well, is there anyone who treats you well? How about more?

   If not, don't always expect others to treat you well.

  Everyone is selfish, but everyone also longs for good emotions.

  Many times, there may be no return for giving, but because of this, you are too scared to give, then you can really get anything.

  She remembered reading a foreign novel, which told a personal story about putting herself in a case.

  That person just feels that others always want to hurt her, so he likes to protect himself firmly.

   As a result, although others could not get in touch with him, he also lost the opportunity to get along well with others, and in the end he was still lonely for the rest of his life.

  Humans, we all live a lifetime, who can say what is right and what is wrong.

   How to live, not a lifetime.

   I have a clear conscience.

   As she thought to herself, the noodles under her hand were also mixed.

   "Shopkeeper, I'll boil the water, you help me carry the basin to the warehouse."

  Because various things are piled up in the warehouse, many of them cannot be frozen, so there is also a very hot kang inside, and a stove is set up, and the temperature is slightly higher than other places.

  The noodles can be fermented in there, instead of bringing them to the bedroom and putting them on the kang.

"Um."

  Wang Tianxiao put a wooden stick into the hearth and stood up.

   "The water will boil immediately, so be careful when pouring it, so as not to get burned."

   "No, it's not the first time I pour water. I've been boiling water since I was four or five years old."

  Li Yali can't laugh or cry.

"It used to be in the past. Didn't you have been scalded by water before? Look at the scar on your arm, it's just scalded. I can't control the things in the past, but now you are with me, I definitely can't look at it." You will be burned again, right?"

   "Go quickly and see how nasty your words are."

  Li Yali blushed slightly. Although she said disgusting words, she was still happy in her heart.

  The husband’s kindness to her is not only in the details of the relationship, but also very expressive, unlike many men in the village before, although they also take good care of their wives, but they are lifeless every day, and they don’t give people that romantic feeling.

  As a girl who watched "Gone with the Wind", Li Yali's desire for love is not as bold as the characters in the book, but there are also many fantasies in it.

  He felt that in the past year, Wang Tianxiao basically satisfied all her desires for love.

  He is tall and handsome, gentle, capable, good-natured, responsible, and very kind to himself. Where else in the world can you find such a good man.

   Why did I meet him, I am so lucky.

   "Give it to me, didn't you let me carry it over?"

  Wang Tianxiao didn't know why his wife was giggling with both hands in the basin.

   "Oh, here you are." Li Yali woke up from her imagination, and saw Wang Tianxiao staring at her by her side, and felt very happy in her heart.

   "The treasurer's..."

"Um?"

   "It's nothing, go. After you put it in the warehouse, go back to your room. I'll bring it to you after the water boils, so you can soak your feet."

   "That's fine, thanks for your hard work."

  Wang Tianxiao walked out of the room with the washbasin in his arms. He always felt that his wife was acting weird all the time, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

  He put the washbasin in the warehouse, and went to the next door to see the flowers and grandeur. The two children now live in a room alone.

  Parents' ignorance made Hua'er, a child who just turned ten years old, grow up instantly.

  Although Wang Tianxiao and Li Yali treated her very well, it was still difficult to dispel the great pain in her heart. The little girl often seemed very polite, but she was always slightly alienated.

  Wang Tianxiao and Li Yali saw it in their eyes and felt distressed in their hearts, but they didn't know how to solve it.

   Can only hope for time.

  I hope time, a universal thing, can slowly dilute her emotions.

  If there is really no other way, then this may be the biggest disaster in Hua'er's life.

  Anyone's life will be full of disasters.

   It's just that everyone's catastrophe is different.

   It's like some kind of infectious disease. If everyone has to be infected once, then they were infected in childhood, and after healing, they will have immunity, and they will not suffer from it when they grow up.

   This is a pessimistic and negative thinking mode.

  However, many times, when people can’t find the positive energy of sunlight, and they see only pessimism in front of them, they can only try to find a piece of light and heat from the darkness, so as to resist the boundless darkness and coldness.

And in this process, some people did not persevere to the end, and fell into the night before dawn, and those who overcome the darkness and loneliness will wait until the sun rises in the morning. As long as they see the sun, all the haze in their hearts will disappear. was dispersed.

  He will be born again.

  Wang Tianxiao is a born pessimist.

  He will always be the kind of person who leaves behind and charges forward without any fear.

  Back to his room, the two children are asleep.

  He sat by the bed, looking at the two sleeping children kindly, with tenderness in his heart.

  In this life, he has carefully guarded the mental health of his children, not only not giving them too much sense of crisis in life, but also making them healthy, sunny and lively, and kind to others in terms of psychological and moral shaping.

  He experienced the moral decline in his previous life, when everyone was in danger.

  All of them are particularly saddened by those who have become cautious from ordinary people in that environment.

  If everyone becomes indifferent, it seems that others can't hurt themselves, but others can't touch themselves either.

  The harm between people exists, but it is far less than the care and care between people.

   Interpersonal communication is a double-edged sword. Since you don’t want to accept the negative things that may be brought about at all, you also reject positive feedback.

  When a society as a whole becomes indifferent, no one will be alone.

  Everyone is a victim of backlash.

  Whether kindness is meaningful or not, Wang Tianxiao doesn't know.

  He only knows what he wants to do, and he also hopes that in the two directions of selfishness and indifference and enthusiasm and kindness, he is more inclined to the latter.

  He hopes that the child will be a good person morally.

  In terms of ability, I can guarantee that I will be a good person and not be bullied by others.

  The sound of his wife's footsteps came from outside.

  Li Yali came in with a basin.

  She put the basin under his feet, "Bubble it while it's hot, the child can't run away, he's still on the kang after you wash your feet."

   "Haha, that's true."

  Wang Tianxiao put his feet into the basin, and it was warm. His wife also specially added a little wine in it to relieve fatigue.

  Can't the child run away?

   Not really.

   Actually, it was very fast. Soon they would grow up one by one, and they would leave themselves for their own studies and careers.

   Can't run, but can fly.

  The time I can really spend with my children is only the short ten years before high school.

  Once you go to high school, there is a high probability that you will live on campus. After high school, you will be a university, and you may not even be in a province.

  I immediately faced a job after I graduated from university.

  A small city like Qingcheng obviously cannot accommodate a college student. Basically, children will go all over the world to make a living.

  At first, I could come back once a year, but later on, because of busy work, each had their own families, and even came back less than once a year, it became two years, three years, or even five years.

   You can't blame the children for being unfilial.

  The future society will be highly competitive, and children will naturally have their own difficulties.

Of course, the children wanted the couple to live in the city, but they are used to living in the countryside and live freely. When they really went to those reinforced concrete cities, they heard some words that they didn’t know what they meant. Trapped in the coffin ahead of time, I can't feel the joy and meaning of life at all.

  What's the point of this kind of life?

  The so-called parents and children are nothing but fate.

  The fate of drifting away.

  Like lions and tigers and leopards, when their children become adults, they will definitely drive the children away from their side and let them live and develop their own circles.

  Human parents and children cannot stay together forever.

   In retrospect, a person’s true maturity may be the moment when he is completely cut off from his parents. From then on, parents are where he comes from, and there is only emotional dependence, not life dependence.

   Only in this way can we truly live out our own life.

  Children, Dad was reborn all his life to make up for all kinds of regrets, including what he owes to you.

  In this life, I will do my best to accompany you and give you good living conditions.

   You all want to grow up healthy and healthy.

  He muttered silently in his heart.
