Chapter 13 Lao Zhang's Philosophy (13)

Wang De and Li Ying came back from shopping, and my aunt was cooking while criticizing.The criticism is too much, as for the vinegar as soy sauce, the whole spoon is poured into the cooking pot.Suddenly realized my mistake, so I stopped criticizing, sat on the small stool and laughed until tears dripped down one by one. Li Ying's uncle is back.Zhao Rui is his name.He is about fifty years old, and his wife has always been ten years older than him since he got married.With a short stature, it looks like a small square meat mound.The short neck supports a round and fleshy earth-like head.Two smiling eyes, a red rosacea nose.He nodded and smiled when he saw people, and then said hard work, the more he looked, the more he looked like an experienced businessman.

When Uncle Zhao entered the room, he greeted everyone first, and then poured tea for everyone, which made Wang De at a loss. ——If Wang De was in Uncle Zhao's shop, he still had a solution: he could at least buy some of Uncle Zhao's goods in return for his kindness. Aunt Zhao told her husband before anyone else could speak that she had mistook the vinegar for soy sauce.When Uncle Zhao heard this, he also burst into tears with laughter, drowning a large part of his red nose.After laughing for a while, the old couple led the three young people to enjoy their dinner.Uncle Zhao handed over rice and vegetables, and forced Wang De to drink a little wine and taste some pig ears.

Three people drink two taels of wine, ideally and practically speaking, Uncle Zhao will not drink more than two taels or completely two taels.However, he was indeed a little drunk, and pearl-like beads of sweat dripped down his temples into the rice bowl.His face was full of smiles, like a red sun, gradually hiding his red nose in the red light, like a volcano that had erupted in flames hidden in red clouds and red clouds. Satisfied with wine and food, Uncle Zhao twisted a bag of Kanto cigarettes and asked Li Ying to move the chair to the courtyard, and everyone sat around.Aunt Zhao was busy clearing away the cups and plates, and refused to allow Li Jing to help.So Li Jing made a pot of tea and sat beside his uncle. "Uncle! What I told you, can you settle it for me?" Li Ying asked. "Good! Good! I just like to hear that young people want to do things! I don't object to studying, but doing things is also important; if you want to become a nerd after studying, you might as well eat a few more crispy pig ears." Uncle Zhao spit The blue smoke in the sky gradually rises and merges with the light blue sky. "The shops don't accept your students as apprentices, and the factories don't want students to be workers. Isn't that a good certificate? You go to be a policeman. To be honest, it's not a good business. As for what you said about the 'Nine Soldiers Army' , I still don’t quite understand.” “The Salvation Army.” Li Ying replied.

"Yes! The Salvation Army! What's the matter?" "I went out this morning and met an old neighbor Zhao Si on the street. He half pulls carts and half works in the Salvation Army. He said that the Salvation Army takes in many young people and doesn't make much money, but all he does is charity. So I went to the Salvation Army church and listened to some religious discourses, which made sense." "What are they talking about?" Wang De interjected. "They say we all sin, that there is only one God who can forgive us, if we can trust Him to do good. I thought it was useless to earn some money and not do good for society. So... ..."

"Li Ying! Where does this God live?" Wang De asked. "Heaven!" Li Ying replied solemnly. "It's the Buddhas who are in the sky..." Uncle Zhao half closed his eyes, biting a cigarette pipe, as if he was about to fall asleep. "However, Ying'er, I'm a little worried about going to Xinyangjiao." "I think as long as there is a group where everyone works together to do good things, I'm willing to join, regardless of whether it's a foreign religion or not." Li Ying said. "You must know that they do good things?" Li Jing asked.

"If you don't believe me, go and see, the church is neat and solemn, and has a different spirit." "I am a businessman, and I keep my three words in my line of business. How much money you can get, you can get it from the church." "Zhao Si said five yuan a month, but my purpose is to do some good things, and I don't care how much money I make." "Okay! You try it first, if it doesn't work, we'll find another matter." Uncle Zhao said to Li Ying, and then to Wang De: "How about your business?" "Let me swear, and I'll say it." Wang De thought of the gold-encrusted humanoid beast. "Don't swear, with your sister sitting here, without her, I don't care what you swear. In this way, you swear in your heart, but say yes."

Wang De then told what happened during the day.Then he played his will again. "Look," Wang De said to Uncle Zhao, "Is it okay if I go to school? It's so hard to find jobs, and I'm not willing to do small things!" "It's a good idea to study, but there is one thing. Can your father provide for you? Your sister," Uncle Zhao pointed to Li Jing and said, "After studying for five or six years, I bought leather shoes today and white hats tomorrow. So much, odds and ends that almost broke me, my God! I don't understand new things, so I can't figure out how to read the words as soon as I put on the shoes. You know your family better than I do If you don’t have money, don’t miss studying. It’s better to find a job than anything else. ——Girl, don’t worry, I don’t mean to say that you spend my money, I don’t care about money! Good girl, pour another bowl of tea for uncle!”

Uncle Zhao drank enough tea and put the cigarette pouch in his waist.He turned to the room and said, "I said——I want to go back to the shop. If there is something to tell me about your children, tell them to come to the shop to find me." "I said—" Aunt Zhao replied in the house, and then came out with unfinished dishes. "Is today's dish good?" "Okay! It's just a little sour!" "Well, sour? You can save soy sauce! Soy sauce is much more expensive than vinegar!" The old couple laughed, and Uncle Zhao said to Li Jing again: "Thank you, girl, who cooks and pours tea! Waiting for uncle to come and serve You are an old woman!" "Don't talk nonsense, uncle!" Li Jing slapped her uncle lightly. "Good girl, hit me, wait until I tell your mother-in-law!"

Uncle Zhao walked out with a smile, and my aunt followed suit asking questions.Li Ying and the others were still sitting in the courtyard, and Uncle Zhao had walked out for four or five minutes, and his loud and deep laughter could still be heard.
