Chapter 36 red leaves

red leaves Today I accidentally flipped through an old book, and suddenly I found a withered red leaf.This red leaf was brought back when I visited Qixia Mountain in Nanjing eight years ago, and I wanted to keep it there as a souvenir, but I forgot it after a long time.Today, old things are reunited, and a lot of nostalgic materials have been added out of thin air.I picked it up and played with it over and over again, thinking about the situation that day. There were four other people on the tour that day besides myself. One was my junior high school classmate Zhang Jijie, the other was Jijie’s cousin Miss Zhao, and the other two The other is their husband.First, Jijie and his wife came to ask me to visit Qixia Mountain with me on Sunday (I was studying at Nanjing University at that time), I agreed, and went to her house early on Sunday morning.

"It's good that you're here, this is Ms. Zhao," Jijie smiled and introduced me, pointing to a modern female guest, and then introduced Ms. Zhao's husband, Mr. Xu, and then continued: "They will also join our trip." . " I kept silent, just looked down at Miss Zhao's high-heeled shoes. Jijie also seemed to feel it, and said to her: "Cousin, you can change your shoes, my pair of rubber-soled shoes are still suitable for you." But Ms. Zhao shook her head, she just stood in front of the mirror and carefully observed her face and hair. Seeing that she didn't want it, Jijie went to change into the pair of shoes.Just as she was changing her shoes, her eldest daughter cried out:

"Mom, I'm going too. I'm going to climb mountains outside." Jijie coaxed her for a long time, telling her not to wake up her brother in a soft voice, and promised many things at the same time, and finally coaxed her to pout and promise her mother to leave alone.But having said that, - the two small hands still held her skirt tightly. "Let go, Meimei," Jijie begged her softly, "don't wrinkle Mom's skirt. Look, Auntie Biao is so beautifully dressed..." Miss Zhao was busy putting on powder and rouge, looking around in the mirror, whispering to her husband whether she regretted not changing into the newly made light red cheongsam.

"I said I was going to wear that dress today." She complained viciously to her husband, "You were the one who urged me to change clothes at my cousin's house..." "But you don't look bad in green," her husband reassured her with a distressed face. "Darling, you..." She was almost angry: "What about me? I told you that I don't like wearing green, did you hear me? What do you say about me? Tell me!" Jijie's little son started to move in the cradle, and Jijie quickly tiptoed over to pat him; I lightly touched Miss Zhao's shoulder to persuade him: "Let's go quickly, it's not very early."

So her husband came over and took her arm, and the two walked out side by side, Miss Zhao still muttered: "You have to look good when you go out, it's good for people to see..." I turned around and went to remind Jijie's predecessor, she agreed, and repeatedly told the maid that Bao'er's diapers were in the second drawer, and after waking up, she changed the diapers and fed milk powder, and the milk powder should be mixed evenly.And Meimei, Meimei, don't let her run around. "Mom," Meimei came over with tears in her eyes when her mother mentioned her, "Meimei wants to climb mountains too."

Jijie's husband pulled her away and told her that her mother would get better if she went outside to have fun.But Meimei did not follow her, and Jijie also watched that she would not be able to leave, and the two were inseparably entangled together. I couldn't help frowning, Jijie seemed sorry, begged me to go with her husband in a low voice, and she would come right away.But we waited at the door for almost a quarter of an hour before we saw her Lianbu Nana come out, her skirt was wrinkled strangely, and the corners of her eyes were moist. We took the train to Qixia Mountain, which is full of red leaves.But they didn't seem to be interested in admiring it. Ms. Zhao put on a sullen face and hated that green dress. Mr. Xu tried to comfort her annoyedly, saying that the red leaves were very bright against the green dress. Her husband looked at her face frequently, as if he was examining how much her health had improved.

"Jie, look, there are so many red leaves here, all over the mountain." He made her happy with a childish look. She nodded and said, "That's a lot." "Isn't it red so cute?" She nodded again and said, "It's really popular." So everyone had nothing to say, and the wind blew the leaves rustling.After the noise, Miss Zhao sighed in a low voice: "The color of the leaf matches well with the clothes at home, now... Miss Zhao's husband panicked after hearing this, and after a while, he suddenly thought of a way to please his wife. He suggested: "Let's all go to the mountain to take a picture, Darling, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Jijie became happy and said: "It's really great to take pictures, and it's also a souvenir. I'll show Meimei Baoer tomorrow, I don't know how happy I am!" But Ms. Zhao replied with a mournful face: "But I can't accompany you, such clothes, red and green against the leaves, are not vulgar? I knew you..." I couldn't help interrupting her: "You can't tell the difference between red and green in a photo, so what's the point?" Probably she thought it was pretty good, so she showed some joy.Poor Mr. Xu just now was amnesty by the emperor, urging everyone to leave quickly.

"Really," Jijie climbed up two steps vigorously and said pantingly, "We have to walk faster. It's still early to take a good photo. Everyone come to my house for dinner. I'm afraid Bao'er will wake up early!" I looked at the big bag in her husband's hand, feeling very disappointed, and asked her: "Didn't we plan to hold a picnic on the mountain in advance?" But she resolutely objected: "How can bread and biscuits be eaten? Let's go faster!" "My legs are so sore from running!" Miss Zhao yelled softly behind her, leaning against a tree by the roadside, listening to the rustling of red leaves on her head: "Why don't you look at the shoes for me? What?" She viciously threw a muddy high-heeled shoe at her husband.

Mr. Xu picked up the shoes in fear and carefully inspected them carefully. I couldn't get used to that look, so I turned around and wanted to pluck a few red leaves.But the good red leaves are on high places, and I can't reach them due to my short stature. Jijie's husband came to help me. He jumped up the tree, picked the brightly colored ones, folded them off, and told me to pick them. When Jijie saw him dodge, he screamed in fright: "Don't wrestle, come down quickly!" She called her husband as if calling Meimei Baoer: "What's so interesting about that thing, take it home Wouldn't it be broken up by the children in a short while, and the room would be dirty for nothing?"

Her husband was really obedient and obedient, so we walked forward again, took pictures on the mountain, and then came back.On the way home, the two men said they were hungry, and chewed the bread and biscuits with relish, and I ate some along with them.Jijie was exhausted and didn't want to eat anything.Ms. Zhao bit half of a biscuit in her husband's hand. She thought it was tasteless, and immediately spit it on the ground. She quickly took out a small powder box from her bosom, busy making powder and putting on lipstick. To be honest, I didn't appreciate any scenery this day.If you ask me what Qixia Mountain is like, I have no impression other than the red leaves all over the sky.I clearly remember the faces of the four of them in my mind. The women are annoyed and absent-minded, while the men are bored and don't know what to do.I know that they are regretting this trip in their hearts, but in order to take into account the interests of others, they have to say happy words on their lips.What a reluctant attitude!So I realized that there are many people in the world who are not worthy of travel, women are all, and men are more than half.Neither of them or they can get the slightest happiness from traveling, spending money, labor, and wasting time to run outside, and what they bring back is only tiredness and boredom. When I say that women are not suitable for travel, half of the relationship is also biological.It goes without saying that it is inconvenient to travel during the menstrual period, and it is inconvenient to travel during the pregnancy period. Needless to say, such obvious facts, even in normal times, the pain of enduring defecation is more than enough to offset the happiness.One cannot quietly appreciate the beauty of the water and the mountains when one is suffering from abdominal pain, and one cannot set up women's restrooms everywhere in scenic spots to meet such emergencies. Do you want to do something?In addition, there are remote places where you are afraid that people will make fun of you, and you are afraid that your baby will cry when you return; Pain, rain, and sun are all unpleasant things, so what can mountains and rivers do!How fun are the mountains and rivers! And I know that women don't like famous mountains and rivers by nature. Most of them like man-made delicate things. A beautiful rockery can be used for a long time. They can count the number of caves. endless.If you believe in men's words, you will definitely be strenuous and boring when you climb Mount Tai to watch the sunrise with friends, and go to Emei to visit monkeys.Traveling is a difficult task for women, because they have to bring a lot of things when they go out, handkerchiefs, stockings, bras, menstrual belts, which one is less?Moreover, he was born with weak legs, so he had to ask for a sedan chair when going up the mountain, and hired a car on the flat ground, and the driver of the sedan chair and the driver liked to knock on the bamboo poles of women. This is not travel, it is suffering!That's why most women have men as companions when they go out. I am always amazed and amazed at this kind of man, amazed at his courage, and lamented at his stupidity.It took a lot of effort to get a few commemorative photos for them, so why not just pick up a few dozen ready-made landscape photos in the photo studio, and then ask them to print the jade photo of that woman Going in, Emei and the distant mountains form an interesting contrast, so that women can save the pain of trekking and avoid the trouble of escorting themselves. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?Fortunately, the purpose of this kind of woman who travels for fashion is only to have commemorative photos to show off to others. The art of photography is irrelevant. You can print two photos into one, so that her slender feet are on the On the top of Mount Hua, the jade hand supported the willows of the West Lake, and her heart was satisfied. Who else had any real interest in the West Lake of Huashan? I thought of the ugly appearance of these photo travelers on Qixia Mountain, and couldn't help tearing up this red leaf as a souvenir.
