Dad is not my real dad. I call him that simply to distinguish him from my real father.
Dad is a steelyard worker. The callus shows his exquisite skills. Yes, dad has been a teacher for forty years.
Dad is an apprentice. I heard that this bar scale was made by a family named Hu. Originally it was a secret, but in this generation, there was suddenly no successor, so I had to accept my father and uncle Jiang. They are completely different in character. Dad is dull and even pedantic, while Jiang Shu smiles at people.
After they set off, they opened a weighing shop on both sides of the road. At first, both of them were booming, but as time went on, Dad's shop became thinner and a little desolate, and the faded signboard was ignored even if it was in the way.
One day, dad couldn't stand such a deserted shop, so he closed the door and strolled to Uncle Jiang's shop. It is very popular as soon as you enter the store! The brand-new and bright signboard makes dad puzzled and envious.
Dad stayed at Jiang Shu's house until late, and Jiang Shu's shop calmed down. They set a table of wine in the backyard and chatted while eating. Dad asked shyly, "Brother, why do you think my shop is so deserted?" It's about to close. Why is your shop so busy? " Sighed, lit a cigarette and put it out again.
Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "Why are you so stupid? It is said that the customer is God, and God told you to give him one or two scales less. You can't give him more money. Just listen to him and do it. Oh, I remember. A big businessman asked me to buy a 50-pole scale, which was 22 taels short. Or I'll give you half the business? "
After hearing this, the old man didn't say anything. After drinking the wine silently, he waved to Uncle Jiang: "Do the fifty scales yourself!"
Dad's shop is still so deserted. It was not until one day that he heard that Uncle Jiang's shop had been demolished that he ran over to have a look. Uncle Jiang was trapped in the shop and was down and out. Dad asked, "How much can you remedy?" Uncle Jiang said it was forty steelyards. Dad went back for a few days in black and white, and finally helped Jiang Shu pay off. Later, Uncle Jiang's shop closed. One night he left and never came back.
Dad's shop is doing well. Now whenever someone suspects that there is something wrong with the weight, vendors always leave a sentence: "This is Mr. Chen's scale!" " "The man gave up.
Yes, my father is Mr. Chen, and his name is Chen Shi. People respect the word "truth".
Wisdom in wrinkles
The wheel of years has run over on the road of life, and deep wrinkles tell the story of grandpa's life and reflect simple wisdom.
I. Niu Geng
"Yo drink, yo drink ..." Grandpa's hoarse voice is particularly clear in the open field. Dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and it was going to rain. I rushed to the edge of the field. "Grandpa, come back quickly!" "I see, that's it. I will go back after ploughing. " After that, I ate Hesheng again. It's really drizzling in the sky. Grandpa came back wet with mud on his feet. "Grandpa, you sell cattle. It's too hard to farm when you are old. It is convenient to have a machine now. " I looked at my grandfather and spoke my mind. "Girl, this Niu Geng is slow, but it is also a path left by our ancestors, which is applicable. Plow more while Grandpa is still strong, which is thinner than the machine and won't hurt the ground. " Today, the only cow left in the village is Grandpa, and only Grandpa still uses Niu Gengdi. Looking at the rain outside, I understand: "Wisdom is an eternal experience. In the misty rain, one person and one cow, how harmonious and natural.
Second, abacus calculation
"Knock, knock ..." Grandpa walked with reading glasses, fiddled with the abacus, and wrote something in the notebook from time to time. "Grandpa, you are in the accounts. Let me help you. " "Little girl, what can you do for me? Can you use this old abacus? " Grandpa smiled and raised his eyebrows at me. "I use my mobile phone to help you calculate. You can just quote the figures. It's not faster and more accurate than you. " "Oh, you don't understand, you can't learn new things at my age. This old abacus works well. Grandpa will teach you to calculate. " "No, I feel dizzy when I look at it." Grandpa bowed his head and frowned, and started again. I secretly calculated with my mobile phone and found that grandpa's results were so precise and clear. I see, wisdom is a kind of ability that practice makes perfect. Sitting alone, fingering, so calm and steady.
Third, drama.
Quiet night, cool breeze, faint starlight against the bright moon, clear wine. Grandpa is smoking a cigarette under the old pagoda tree in front of the door. "Grandpa, it's cold at night. Come in and sleep. " "Girl, sit here. It's cold. Grandpa can stand it." "Then tell me a story." "I have told you all the stories, and it's gone. Grandpa, sing. " Grandpa cleaned up the noise: "I am a bad king in Wollongong, relying on Yin and Yang to reverse Baoding Gankun ..." Grandpa's singing is not beautiful, but with inexplicable inner trembling and sadness. Looking at the infinite seriousness between grandpa's wrinkles, I understand that wisdom is a realm of purification. A person, a song, so devoted, so harmonious, especially coordinated in the moonlight.
Xiaoxiang noodles Xiang
Deep in the alley is a noodle restaurant, and the owner is an old man.
The old man is white-haired and thin. When he sat on the doorstep and smoked leisurely, I saw the vicissitudes of life clearly from his muddy but deep eyes through the misty smoke.
There is no signboard in the noodle restaurant. Every morning, before the people in the alley get up, the door of the noodle restaurant opens. That fragrance gushed from the small door and spread to the windowsill of every household. As a result, people were dragged out of their sleep by the fragrance, walked into the store and sat at the table, waiting for their own bowl of fragrance. At this time, I suddenly realized that it would be vulgar if this shop had a signboard.
When there were few people in the noodle restaurant, they were greeted by the old man's son. When there are many people, it is coordinated by the elderly. When every French office worker and student party is in a hurry to leave, the old man will bow to the person who is not busy and apologize, and that person will readily promise to wait a little longer. I naturally belong to the student party, and I can get a bowl of incense soon after I sit down. After eating, I thanked the people around me and walked out with everyone's kindness. Welcome a day of study. Ah, with this old man, busy shops are never chaotic, always full of three-point rhythm and seven-point poetry.
Whenever someone praises him, the old man is not cheap. He always enthusiastically accepts and shows off his noodle soup-noodles are made by himself, Lu is the wild fish of a fisherman in the country, and even the water is picked from a well in his yard. Someone joked, "Old man, you let the cat out of the bag, aren't you afraid of being robbed of business?" The old man smiled: "Everyone knows what the secret is, but who has persisted for decades like me?"
The old man's son is also a cook. Regular customers will find that the faces of father and son are very different. Therefore, when you ask for a face, you always add: "the face of the old man" or "the face of the young man." As for me, I like the old man's face. The gluten of the elderly, uncle's dough is soft; The old man has no light on his face, but the uncle has a bias on his face. Some people say: "Young people's noodles are wine, you should enjoy them while they are hot;" The old man's face is like tea, so remember it slowly. "Indeed, uncle's face will be drenched with a spoonful of shrimp oil, and the old man likes to put two or three parsley and a few drops of lard. When eating old people's noodles, you can't smell the aroma. Only when you bite the noodles, the aroma will splash out from the cracks in the noodles. Noodles are smooth, lard encourages fish soup, and fish soup stimulates your taste. The wisdom of an old man may be a special soul left on his face.
Finally one day, the alley was demolished and the noodle restaurant moved to another alley. When he left, the old man asked his son to give everyone a bowl of noodles with three or three parsley and a few drops of lard. The old man picked a few noodles, took a sip of soup, nodded and said, "There are three points."
Later, I went to eat noodles again. The old man is gone, but there is obviously a shadow of his father on his uncle's face. As for the greetings between the guests, it was a young man about my age. ...
Three realms of wisdom
Buddhism has three realms of wisdom: first, seeing mountains is mountains, and seeing water is water; Second, seeing mountains is not mountains, and seeing water is not water; See mountains or mountains in the morning, water or water. Now I think wisdom can be divided into three realms: mountain, sea and sky.
The first scene is this mountain. Mountain, standing on the earth, has always been a symbol of tall and steady. Beginning of life is as wise as a hill. With the passage of time and the accumulation of experience, people's wisdom will gradually increase like a mountain. From an unknown mound to a famous mountain, it finally reached the point of "reaching the top, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". . However, the wisdom of this realm is as rigid as a mountain, but it is only the accumulation of quantity and cannot be changed. Just as a mountain can never be higher than a man, no matter how high and lofty it is, it is also a mountain. It can't move or jump, but it can only be confined in the soil.
Therefore, the second condition is this flowing sea, which is full of rivers and inclusive. After constant study and mastery, wisdom is transformed into a vast sea. Water is impermanent, and people's wisdom can face all kinds of difficulties in this environment without being trapped by rigid ideas. At the same time, how big the sea is, even if all the mountains on the ground are filled in, they can't be filled in. However, how difficult it is for people to reach a state. Although people sometimes flash and do some exquisite things, it is like a famous mountain and flowing water. Only real talents can unify the flowing water and reach the second realm of wisdom: the sea.
Only the sky is wider than the sea, so the third place is the sky, but the sky is not just wider than the sea. God, first of all, it covers everything and is everywhere. At the same time, it is intangible and unpredictable. In this realm, people's wisdom has tended to change. Like qi, you can't see or touch it, but it's there. When wisdom reaches this state, it is no longer wisdom, but has reached the point of Tao. The Tao is extraordinary. People with this kind of wisdom have all kinds of profound meanings in doing things, which is hard to understand. For thousands of years in human history, few people have such great wisdom as Laozi and Sakyamuni.
In the three realms of wisdom, wisdom is gradually increasing, but people should be modest. The mountain thinks it can reach the sky, and the sea thinks it surrounds everything, but only God knows that wisdom is infinite. Just like the big circle and the small circle, the big circle has a larger area than the small circle, but it also has more unknowns than the small circle.
Therefore, although wisdom can be divided into three realms, it is still endless, just like the sky is the sea of stars. Therefore, what we have to do is to work hard towards the next place, towards the endless sky and the sea of stars.
Environment comes from the mind.
Wisdom is a mirror of the mind, and the environment is born from the heart.
The heart absorbs wisdom, and the sky between square inches is boundless; If the heart is wise, it is like the sun rising in Ran Ran in the sky, shining the supreme spirit.
There is a passage in the textbook of the Republic of China: "Three cows eat grass, one sheep eats grass, and the other sheep doesn't eat grass. It looks at the flowers.
I think the sheep who look at flowers on the vast green grassland are wise, and looking at flowers is a unique sight of wisdom. As said in Ordinary World, the meaning of life is not only as simple as eating, but also higher pursuit.
It is true that the most basic requirement of wisdom for human beings is to have a spiritual pursuit of abandoning the material level. Only those who are not blinded by flashy substances are qualified to be called wise men.
Moreover, people with great wisdom not only have spiritual pursuits, but also have the courage to be independent and detached.
I was surprised by Zhu Da's "squid map". What kind of wisdom does the fish with their eyes rolling tell? It goes without saying! I have great respect for this old man of the Ming Dynasty who was on the verge of eight famines, and my heart is very strong. ...
If Zhu Da's wisdom is a kind of weather, then Zhuangzi's wisdom of "beyond the image, in the ring" is a kind of mirror. Transcending the ethereal realm of the essence of life is the perfect fit between Zen and Tao.
In Li Shutong, the clear sky reflects things, the mirror stops water and sighs, and the moonlight winds treat people, which explains the weather in Zhu Da and the extreme situation of Zhuang Zhou in a Zen way. Beyond life itself, everything in the world is born, so before I die, I can sigh "Hua Zhi, Tian".
There is no shortcut to the ethereal realm of wisdom, which needs to be fully understood. Experience the ups and downs of life and the realm of nirvana. If necessary, you can learn from Liu Zongyuan's "Fisherman in the Cold River-Snow" and enjoy the gallery and dignity in the world of nature's silver makeup.
Life is an exercise, and wisdom is the ultimate sublimation. Cultivate a wise heart and become a realm of wisdom, with no regrets in life and no regrets in heart.
