Brother in Japan mixed club

The next day

Early in the morning, I went to my grandfather's house by car. My grandfather's house was still the same. From outside the wall, the trees in the yard were not necessarily taller. When I heard the sound of chopping things, I hurried to the yard. Walking in the courtyard, grandpa was wearing thin clothes in the winter, chopping firewood in the yard as if he was not afraid of the cold. 【】

I ran over with small steps, put down the things in my hand, and said, "Grandpa, let me come."

Grandpa heard the voice, turned to me, and said happily, "Muzhou, when did you come? Haha, I won't make a phone call when you come, so I can pick you up outside the door." He would have been waiting for me at the village entrance in the outskirts a long time ago, and the memory is still fresh.

"I'm so old, it's not that I don't know the way, come on, grandpa, get up and let me chop it, you are already old! It's not that there are no electrical appliances at home, you just use electricity to boil water, it's very important Why do you want to chop this hard stick?"

"No, I'll do it myself. I'm also early in the morning. I'm chopping a few pieces of wood and exercising my lower body. It's a waste of my wood to be thrown on the street, so I use it to chop fire. It's almost over." While searching the ground for the larger wood, Grandpa asked, "By the way, how are you doing in Japan now? Has the underworld entered?".

I heard what my grandpa said, so I took a small mat in the corner, opened it, sat next to my grandpa, and complained, "Oh, don't mention it, it's been a year and there is no letter. My third uncle said that the spring break The time is to re-enter when I am in my sophomore year. I am so anxious to death."

"It's okay, Mu Zhou, 'If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood' This is a big truth, but, not many people keep it in mind, you have to remember, you have to be patient in everything, you have to be patient if you can't bear it, But let's not just be patient, we have to..." He straightened the wood under his hand with one hand, and the ax in the other hand "clicked", splitting the wooden stick on the ground in half, and then said, "There is more breakthrough."

"I know this too, so I'll just complain, hehe." I picked up the piece of wood that was split by my grandfather on the ground, held it in my hand, and pressed the grain of the wood with my nails, saying embarrassedly.

Grandpa stood up, patted the dust off his hands, and said with a smile, "I came so early, haven't I eaten yet? Let's go, I'll make you some breakfast, haha."

"No, I'll just go out and buy some? Also, my aunt asked me to bring it to you. She said that my uncle is busy this year. I'm afraid I don't have time to come back. I will come back to you next year." I pointed to some packages I brought. Tell grandpa.

"Oh, hehe, my Japanese daughter-in-law is still thinking about me, a bad old man, and let them do what they should do when they go back. I can still carry this bone for seven or eight years, don't worry. We don't have to waste it so much to eat, we Just make breakfast, I still have deep-fried dough sticks in my room, and a soymilk machine in the kitchen, I soaked a bowl of beans last night, and it’s just right to call now, let’s go.” Grandpa said and walked forward.

After entering the house, grandpa went to the kitchen, took out the soya-bean milk machine, put in the beans quickly, filled it with water, and plugged in the power. not easy.

Grandpa looked up at me, smiled, continued to play with the soymilk maker, and asked, "How is your study in Japan?"

"Well, I can basically understand it now, and almost pass it." I said truthfully.

"Mu Zhou, do you know what knowledge is?" Grandpa asked inexplicably.

"Knowledge? Isn't knowledge just knowledge? It's what I remember." I said without thinking.

Grandpa pulled out the bench in the kitchen, gave me one, and sat on one by himself. Looking at the heating soybean milk machine not far away, he said, "Knowledge is very useful, and you must not let it go, but Muzhou, you must also know, what is it? It is knowledge. Knowledge is not memory, but a kind of experience, understanding, and penetration. Your soy milk is heating up now, and then it will be turned immediately to break the beans and turn them into soy milk. This is a learning and living experience. The process, to make a whole of the bits and pieces you have experienced.”

After I heard it, I let out an "oh", and turned my eyes to the soymilk machine. The wings in the soymilk machine suddenly turned rapidly, stirring up the beans underneath, and the sound was also "humming".

Not long after, after the soy milk was ready, grandpa asked me to clean up the dining table, walked over to clean up the soy milk, poured me a bowl, brought it over, took out the fried dough sticks, and served me to eat.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"What time is it? Grandpa has already eaten it, so you can eat it, how about it? Is grandpa's soy milk delicious? These beans were specially given to me by an old comrade-in-arms, haha."

"Well, it's delicious."

"Muzhou, grandpa's words have not been finished just now, you can just listen to them while eating. In fact, as far as the knowledge we mentioned just now is concerned, it is not real knowledge, whether you make the soybeans into soy milk or other What is it? It’s not knowledge, it’s just something external. It’s knowledge only after you drink it into your stomach, absorb it, and get rid of the dross.” Grandpa took out his pipe and knocked it on the table. Knock, click on it, took a sip, and continued, "Children of your age think they know everything. Grandpa didn't mean that you don't understand, but what you understand is like the soy milk in this bowl. You just know it’s soy milk, and you don’t know how to drink it. You think you understand its taste, but you can never feel the nutrition it brings to you. In the end, you get nothing!... To put it bluntly, it is called superficiality. But grandson, when you are abroad in the future, you should not get along with people superficially. You must learn to settle yourself and learn to go deep into talking with people. What you gain is good for yourself and others, and there is no harm."

I took a sip of soy milk, remembered the question I wanted to discuss with grandpa, and said seriously, "Well, I know grandpa; also, I have friends in Japan, and third uncle also asked me to find a better one." A Japanese friend went to the Kawaba Club together, but that friend is only trustworthy when I come here, and his ability should not be very strong, so I am going to find someone who is smarter and a person similar to a "counselor". How about you? "

After hearing this, Grandpa pouted and pursed his lips. He was about to take a puff of cigarette, but he put down his hand again before he smoked. He pointed at my soymilk with a frown and asked, "What is this?"

"Soy milk."

Grandpa pointed to a bowl of soybeans next to the stove and asked, "What is that?"

"Soya beans."

Pointing to the fritters again, he asked, "What is this?"

My grandfather was so weird, but he was too embarrassed not to answer, so Nai said, "You stick, I'm not a fool."

"Crack!" Grandpa raised his hand and patted the dining table deeply, and said loudly, "This is a bowl! This is a plate! Do you only call it a bowl when it is empty! Muzhou, when you Your heart is full of power. When you are prejudiced, you will deviate too much when you treat a person, just like this bowl. Do you understand? What you want is not how smart this person is! It is not how powerful this person is! Is this 'bowl' solid? Isn't it a good bowl! People, it is too easy to be deceived by the things in the bowl, you must be clear. He is also very smart and knows how to learn from each other's strengths to make up for his weaknesses, but he should not put the cart before the horse, understand? What is the "base"? The Three Emperors ruled by Dao, the Five Emperors by virtue, the Three Kings by benevolence and righteousness, and the Five Hegemons by power and wisdom. From our ancestors to the present, it seems that Development is really degraded, because there are too many people like you who give up the kingly way, take hegemony, and don't pay attention to morality but only take power and wisdom. There are too many people, and there will be more disasters. You must know that smart people can accomplish things , but there are definitely not a few smart people who do bad things!" After I finished eating, I got up and walked to the living room.

I also hurriedly got up and followed, and asked, "What is kingly way? What is domineering? Why did grandpa talk about this?"

Grandpa sat on a chair, poured some tea, and said, "Sometimes you have to know that no matter whether in the East or the West, any kind of thing is born on the principle of 'seeking profit'. If it is not for seeking profit, If there is no profit, this kind of thing will have no value. This is human nature, it is unavoidable, "get happiness from suffering", isn't the purpose of all living things to live is to get rid of pain and get happiness? Domineering is fine, but it’s not like this. That’s why Lao Tzu said, “Saints never die, but thieves never stop.” You have to remember."

Morality?I couldn't help wondering, "But, grandpa, I belong to the underworld in Japan... this morality..."

"Underworld? Hmph, what is an underworld? Wasn't Zhang Zuolin a bandit who eventually became a general? You just fell from one circle to another. In the final analysis, there is not much difference. Could it be that you are a gangster? Are you not a human being, have you become a god? Throw away your prejudices. A good person is at least a real person first, grandson, drink tea." Grandpa picked up the teacup, took two sips, and started to drink.

"Well, I see..." I said.

"I've told you so much, you may not be able to understand it for a while, but grandpa still hopes that you can take care of yourself. It's been almost two years in Japan, how is it? Have you made a girlfriend and brought grandpa a granddaughter-in-law back?" ,Ha ha."

I heard grandpa talking about his daughter-in-law, and thinking of Mako Asada, I briefly talked about the matter with Asada. Grandpa stood up and walked out of the hall, and I had to get up and follow.

Grandpa stood on the steps, looking into the distance, and I also looked into the distance, across the courtyard, the leaves of the thin trees had long since fallen, leaving only the lonely trunk.

Grandpa said slowly, "Some people like to compare women to shoes. You should have heard of it. You should have heard the saying, 'When the shoes fit, you forget your feet'."

"I forgot my foot when the shoe fit? What do you mean, grandpa?"

"The meaning is similar to that we only pay attention to our body when we are sick, and when we have stones in our shoes, you think about your feet and shoes, and you want to go...into the house."

When I came back from my grandpa’s house, I wanted my grandpa to come back to my house with me and have a meal with us and stay for a few days. My grandpa insisted on refusing, saying that I would go back during the Spring Festival.

Grandpa sent me to the entrance of the village, and led me to go. Before leaving, he asked me to think more about the words he sent me. I walked a short distance and turned back. Grandpa was still standing there looking at me, and hurriedly waved for him to go back. , also waved to me, then turned around and walked home as if relieved.
