San Er's abduction of Tie Xiang aroused the indignation of Maqiao people.Especially the women, who used to poke Tie Xiang's back, explored her relationship with the curator of culture, and the relationship with the junior students of the photo studio time and time again, shrinking their noses and curling their lips at her twisting back.Now, they suddenly feel that those relationships are tolerable, and can be managed casually.They even think that there is nothing wrong with stealing people, the key is to see who they are stealing.Although Tie Xiang's hooking up with men is a bit of a problem, the most unacceptable thing is her hooking up with the third ear.At this point, they suddenly complained about Tie Xiang, and a sense of community that included Tie Xiang suddenly came to life, which excited them, encouraged them, and warmed them. It seemed that Tie Xiang was the player they launched.

There is only one way to explain this ending: fate.In Maqiao's language, people don't talk much about fate, but more about "root", which makes them compare themselves to plants.They also look at the lines of hands and feet, and think that these lines are nothing more than the appearance of the root, and they are completely the image of the root.An old man passing by once saw the root on Tie Xiang's hand, sighed, and said that she was the root of the threshold.

Now she has become the wife of the secretary, and the lover of the secretary is almost the secretary. How can she change her threshold?She didn't expect that her ending after many years would actually fulfill the words of the old man passing by; she followed Third Ears, a man who was so poor that he could barely touch the threshold, and wandered in a far away country for life.She is like a tree, desperately looking upwards for sunshine and rain. After more than thirty years of searching, she finally finds that no matter how crazy her branches and leaves grow, she can't leave her roots and fly high into the sky.The humble roots are engraved in the palm of her hand.

The word related to "root" is "return to the root", which does not refer to the "homecoming" of the white-haired wanderer in Mandarin, but is equivalent to "destiny".In their words, mud is judged by three inches, and people are judged by three sticks.When you are young, you can’t count. After three years, that is, three twelve years, you will start to return to your roots. Whether you are noble or humble, wise or stupid, good or bad, until thirty-six See you later.Whoever is who.Take your place.It was at the age of thirty-six that Tie Xiang caught up with a bad guy by accident, and he could not escape the doom.They are convinced of it.
