Chapter nine(1/3)
The bathroom has been built. [`Novel`] Qin Xuquan did a good job. He bought me a hybrid solar and electric water heater. Moreover, he extended a part of the original building to the outside, which made the bathroom look more beautiful.
It's very spacious. In addition, he opened the bathroom door to the highest position so that it would not be penetrated by others.
He was very considerate and meticulous. After all, there is a lack of cultural life in rural areas, and there may be very few people chatting with each other to make trouble. And he took all of this into consideration.
After boiling water and making tea, I began to lie down on the soft cushions of the stone house and read a book.
I received a call from Lin Yu around nine o'clock, and she asked me if I had left. I smiled and told her that I had arrived early, and also told her that the bathroom had been repaired.[
She was very happy, "I will take a shower as soon as I arrive."
Then I remembered that there were no things for bathing in this place, such as shampoo, bath towels, etc., so I hurriedly told her. She smiled and said: "I have already prepared it in the car. That's how you men do things.
Very carefree."
I suddenly felt warm in my heart: in fact, she seemed to be playing the role of a wife in front of me.
When she came, I smelled her faint smell of alcohol, "Have you been drinking?"
She smiled and said, "I have a party tonight, so I just drank some. Huh? Why haven't you taken a shower yet?"
I said: "Aren't we waiting for you to bring something?"
She kept laughing, "Do you men still need it?"
I pointed to my long hair and said, "My hair can't survive without shampoo."
Maybe she realized that what she just said was too much, so she didn't say anything more, and then said to me: "Okay, you go and wash it first."
In fact, I have discovered my own problem. What she just said is not wrong. Many men only need a towel and soap to take a bath. Maybe I have stayed in the obstetrics and gynecology department for too long, so I am really getting used to it.
become more feminine.
After taking a shower, I immediately felt comfortable all over. Lin Yu also brought me a set of pure cotton pajamas, which felt very good after wearing them.
"The hot water is very good. You go ahead." I saw her flipping through the book I was reading while waiting for her, and said to her immediately.
She raised the book in her hand toward me and said, "This book is good. Lend it to me after you finish reading it."
This is a book called
Of course, a book is not a big thing, but it represents a person's attitude towards culture. This attitude is something deep in a person's bones. So, I immediately admired her even more.
She went to take a bath, and I started to continue reading the book. But at this moment, I couldn't calm down anymore. I only read two pages before closing the book and putting it aside. And I found that I had not read anything at all.
.
Women take baths very slowly. Perhaps most women are somewhat mysophobic. After a long wait, she finally came back. She was also wearing cotton pajamas. But hers were red floral ones, mine were blue.
of.
"Feng Xiao, help me blow my hair." She said to me.
I smiled and said: "It seems there is no wind here, right?"
She said, "Why not? I brought it with me when I came here before, but found that I couldn't take a shower, so I put it in the cabinet."
The cabinet she was talking about was a small solid wood cabinet I borrowed from Qin Xuquan before. It was mainly used to store tea leaves and tea sets.
I immediately opened the cupboard door and found out that there was really that thing inside. In fact, I had opened the cupboard just now because I had made tea in front of it, but I completely ignored the existence of the hair dryer because it was placed
Inside a cardboard box. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I did not consciously notice its existence.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think: Maybe many things are like this. Something is obviously right in front of me, but it has been ignored by my own inattention.
From this, I had to think about a question: In my life, how many things have been ignored by me? I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart, because I suddenly
I felt like I had really overlooked something very important, but I just couldn't remember it at the moment.
At this time, I heard Lin Yu saying to me with a smile: "The design of your bathroom is very good. The bathroom is opened so high, and the privacy is very high."
I said: "The village chief here helped to do it."
She said: "Oh? It seems that you have a good relationship with the village chief here. This shows that you are quite honest and can actually make sincere friends with farmers. Then you should help others more in the future."
I smiled and said, "Sister, have you forgotten? Their bacon only enters the provincial government canteen with your permission?"
She said: "Ah? I remembered it."
Of course I know that there are too many things that have passed through her hands, and small things like this will not enter her memory at all. This is actually one of the differences between leaders and ordinary people. Leaders only remember big things.
Ordinary people always keep many small things in mind. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, leaders have to deal with too many things because their contacts are so extensive. Ordinary people are different, except for small things.
There are very few big things to do outside, so I regard those trivial things as a kind of fun.
I started to blow dry her hair, and her hair exuded a faint fragrance. Suddenly, I suddenly found a few white hairs scattered in her hair. Although they were scattered, they were so shocking.
"Sister..." I turned off the hair dryer and called her softly.
She didn't understand what was going on, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, you have gray hair." I said to her softly.[
She shook her head and said: "Old man, this is the law of nature. Please help me pull it out."
I immediately put the hair dryer on the ground to one side, and then gently pulled out the few white hairs scattered in her black hair. At the same time, I heard her sigh softly and said: "Hey! This person is always old
It's so quick to get up. Now I often think of when I was in college. I was pretty pretty at that time. At that time, I had red lips and white teeth, and I was young and beautiful. Recently, I think of myself at that time as if it was yesterday. Time
Time flies so fast. The past twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Not long ago, one of my middle school classmates came to find me. At that time, this classmate of mine was the most handsome boy in our class, but
When I saw him this time, I almost couldn't recognize him. His back was stooped and his head was bald. He looked like an old man in his sixties. Originally, I rarely helped my classmates solve job problems.
But when I saw his appearance, I immediately felt soft... Please update as soon as possible... Hey! Man, sometimes it’s really boring when I think about it.”
I immediately regretted that I would not have told her about her gray hair if I had known about it. But now, it actually aroused her emotion and directly hinted at the fact that she was old.
An important sign of a person's psychological aging is that he likes to recall the past. This is what she is like now.
I hurriedly said: "Sister, you actually look very young, and you are not very old. How many people of your age have reached the level you are now? So, I think you are not good at all.
There’s no need to be so sad.”
She shook her head and said: "What sister said is true. This is also a natural law. In fact, it is not a big deal. People are born, old, sick and die. From birth to old age and then leaving this world, this in itself is a very big thing.
It’s a normal thing. If I am still as young as I am now when I am eighty years old, wouldn’t I become a goblin? Feng Xiao, the same will happen to you in the future. You may be uglier than my classmate when you are old. Haha
!”
I didn't expect her mood to change so easily, from being depressed to being so open-minded all of a sudden. But I was still very happy in my heart, "Sister, you're right. We just need to live in the present moment."
She smiled and said, "I agree with what you said. Feng Xiao, have you finished pulling it out? After you finish pulling it out, continue to blow dry my hair to prevent me from catching a cold."
I hurriedly said: "After pulling it out, there are only a few small ones. I think it may be that you have been too busy recently, or it was caused by overuse of your brain."
She kept chuckling, "You are so good at talking and pleasing women. Keep going."
After more than ten minutes, I dried her hair. She shook her head slightly and said, "Well, not bad, very comfortable. Feng Xiao, you can definitely become an excellent hair drying master. You are gentle and patient."
Okay. Sister, I specifically offered to praise you."
I immediately laughed and said, "Sister, it's not easy to get your praise."
She immediately said: "Sister is tired, let's go to the bed and lie down and talk. Turn off the light, and then carry my sister to the bed."
I did as she asked, and soon we were lying on the air bed together. She was in my arms, and I felt that her body was very relaxed.
I was about to ask her about that thing, but I heard her whispering in my arms: "Some people say that people only do three things in their lives: their own things, other people's things, and God's things. Because there are many of us.
People tend to forget their own affairs, care about other people's affairs, and worry about God's affairs. But people in Buddhism say: People only do two things in their lives: eat when they are hungry, and sleep when they are sleepy. I think it makes sense, because
, it is indeed not easy for a person to eat well and sleep sweetly throughout his life. There is a story about Taiwanese freelance writer Lin Qingxuan who was in great pain because of a broken love when he was young, and his meals did not taste good every time.
Sleeping is not sweet. The Zen master told him: People need to practice. Lin Qingxuan asked: How to practice? The Zen master said: Eat when you are hungry, and sleep when you are sleepy. Lin Qingxuan asked: Do you have to practice while eating and sleeping? The Zen master said: It is also eating.
, it’s the same as sleeping, but with different results. When ordinary people eat, they look left and right, think about this and that, care about everything, and think about everything; when sleeping, they dream upside down, dreaming about this and that, with thousands of thoughts. For practitioners, eating is just like sleeping.
Eat, sleep, just sleep, don't think about it. Lin Qingxuan asked puzzledly: But how can we achieve "eat when hungry and sleep when sleepy"? The Zen master said: You can't change your appearance, but you can show your smile. You
You can't control the weather, but you can change your mood. You can't predict tomorrow, but you can grasp today. You can't decide the length of life, but you can broaden its width. It's better to seek others than to seek yourself, and to seek yourself than to seek your heart. The heart should be
A pool of clear water. When the water in your heart is clear, the mountains, rivers, flowers and trees reflected on the water will be beautiful. In that way, the days will be good, the nights will be clear, everywhere will be a blessed place, the Dharma will be a good Dharma, and there will be nothing to be confused about.
, it has polluted ours. Feng Xiao, listen, what this Zen master said is really good. But how can secular people like us do it?"
I hurriedly said: "Sister, what happened to you today? Why do I feel like something is wrong with you? You are not going to practice now, your career is at its peak."
She sighed and said: "It seems that I am really old. I don't know what happened recently. I know that it is not easy for me to struggle to this day, but I often feel that a sense of normalcy is more important than anything else."
I’m old, that’s why I’m so conflicted.”
It seems that she is probably telling the truth, but I think it is not good for her to be like this. I think this is probably related to the more complicated officialdom situation she faced after becoming the top leader. After all, the position of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister is
To deal with all aspects of relationship issues, the arrangements for the entire Jiangnan Province officials were in her hands. Although many key positions were not decided by her, she had to arrange and handle them herself.
It doesn't matter if a person is older, but it will be troublesome once the mentality becomes old, which will make people feel tired or even depressed.
I immediately put my hand inside her pajamas, between her legs, and said to her softly with a smile: "Sister, where are you getting old? Look, you are already wet down there."
She immediately chuckled, "You, the head office likes to please my sister. Come on, you can just go in."
...
She fell asleep immediately after the incident, and I didn't have the chance to ask her about it.
