Chapter 225: What is honey to him is poison to others
Zhang Chao nodded curiously, indicating that he wanted to listen.
"It is said that every child who comes to the human world is the reincarnation of a spiritual child from heaven. Their birth and growth as human beings is considered a kind of cultivation. Before they come to the human world, they will be selected according to the different cultivation methods they have practiced. For example, those who practice the ruthless way will choose a difficult growth experience, and those who practice the compassionate way will choose a loving and harmonious family. From the moment they are born, all their memories and divine powers will be sealed, and they will experience an ordinary life in the form of ordinary people. If they can cultivate their own way during the tribulations, they can return to the heavens and be re-listed as immortals. If they cannot withstand the suffering of the people and cannot realize their own way, they can only go with the flow and wait for the next opportunity to practice until they achieve great success."
Zhang Chao really listened to it, frowned and asked, "So is this my first reincarnation or a rebirth?"
"I don't know that. I told you this story to tell you that you can't change your parents, but you can control your own life. All the dissatisfaction and struggle in your heart right now is just because you feel that some of the practices of your family are different from what you think. You think they don't understand you and they think you are ignorant. In the process, you want to prove yourself desperately, but you have to bow your head because of your dignity. In the end, the two are contradictory and you give up. From beginning to end, don't you realize that you are wasting only your own life and it has no impact on anyone else. Why bother? Let's not compete. Let them say whatever they want. I will give you my favorite sentence: Just work hard and leave the rest to God. If things go against your wishes, then I believe that God must have other arrangements."
Zhang Chao finally understood what Gu Mingyue had been trying to say, and said with emotion, "Aunt, I thought you would say the same thing as my family that I don't know how to appreciate my blessings."
"This is what I dislike the most. For example, some people like to eat eggs, while others will be allergic to them and have itchy rashes all over their bodies. From the perspective of the general public, they don't understand the facts and just think that if they can't eat something as precious as eggs, they are blessed but don't know how to enjoy it. From an individual's perspective, isn't it true that 'one man's meat is another man's poison'?! It can be seen that you can never meet everyone's expectations, because everyone thinks about the problem from their own perspective."
If Zhang Chao only liked Gu Mingyue before, now he respected her more. He wanted to say something, but he felt that none of the words could fully express his feelings at the moment. Thousands of words could be summed up in one sentence: "Thank you, aunt."
The two seemed to be talking for quite a long time, but in fact it was only a few minutes.
At this time, the excited voices of Guanglei and others came from behind...
"Well, since we're out here to play, we have to have fun. Let's go, we should catch the rabbit!"
When they approached, Yixuan was blocking the entrance of the cave with a sack. Seeing the cave move from time to time, Gu Mingyue said happily, "Oh, it looks like we caught a lot."
After that, he explained to Zhang Chao, "See? You have to hold on tight like this. Otherwise, when the rabbit jumps out, it will be very strong and it will be easily kicked away. If there is even a slight gap, all your efforts will be wasted."
We caught five rabbits in total, which sounded like a lot, but after skinning and cleaning out the internal organs there wasn't much left.
Gu Mingyue used the method of making beggar's chicken. After cleaning the rabbit and the pheasant sent by Damao, she smeared them with the barbecue seasoning she brought with her, stuffed them with onions, ginger and garlic, and then found lotus leaves to wrap them tightly. She then mixed mud on the outside, made the whole thing into mud balls, and roasted them over the fire.
Soon, the aroma of barbecue wafted around, and several people stared at the fire in unison, swallowing their saliva continuously.
Gu Mingyue also brought some pickled radish kimchi, which was sweet and sour, and paired with the meat, it was just the right amount of greasy. After finishing the staple food, she took out a watermelon from her backpack, and the group ate to their heart's content.
When he came down the mountain and reached the door of his home, he saw the person coming. It was Zhang Chao's mother, Wen Hui.
"mom!"
“Super!”
After making sure her son was okay, Wen Hui went up to him and patted him on the back. "I told you not to run around. Do you know that grandpa and grandma are going to be worried sick? How could you be so ignorant? The older you get, the more disobedient you become..."
Maybe all Chinese parents are like this, they worry a lot in their hearts, but they kill their children with their words. They do everything they should do, but it's still a thankless task.
Just like the mother and son in front of us, the mother was obviously sweating with anxiety, and she scolded her son as much as she should, so that the son's original guilty feeling was blown away by this unique way of caring...
Seeing that the boy who had been tricked with great difficulty showed a disappointed and sad expression again, Gu Mingyue took the initiative to step forward and greeted him, "Zhang Chao's mother, it's hot outside, why don't you go inside first."
Wen Hui suppressed her emotions and said sincerely, "If you don't mind, just call me Sister Hui. Thank you for sending someone to notify me, otherwise his grandparents would have reported it to the police."
Zhang Chao looked up in surprise.
Gu Mingyue explained to him, "I'm not stupid. How could I not see that you were not in good condition? Before I went to the mountain, I asked someone to call the commune and tell your mother."
Wen Hui then said embarrassedly, "I came here in a hurry today, and the elderly at home were anxious, so I didn't bring anything. It was really rude. I will take Zhang Chao back first, and our family will definitely visit you tomorrow."
"No hurry." Gu Mingyue said, "If you don't mind, I wonder if you can let Zhang Chao stay here for a day. I promised to take him to the mountains to pick wild vegetables tomorrow and go to the fields at noon to experience the hard work of farming. I have agreed. Sister Hui can't let me break my promise."
"This..." Wen Hui hesitated.
"Sister Hui, are you worried that I can't take good care of the child? Don't worry, I dare not say anything else, but I still have a say in taking care of the child."
Wen Hui went home earlier and chatted with her husband, and then she remembered why Gu Mingyue's name sounded so familiar.
Whether it was her status as a martyr's relative, the appreciation of her by the top leader, or her deeds in Qingshan Town, even the resignation of the previous women's director of the commune was inextricably linked to her.
Even her husband said that this girl is brave and resourceful and should not be underestimated.
Moreover, before the man from their family came, he was specifically told to take better care of Gujia Village, especially Gu Mingyue. Although the man did not give the specific reason, it was not difficult to see the attitude.
That was part of the reason why she didn't say no right away.
Then, thinking about her man's attitude, Chaochao would probably be beaten if he returned, so it would be better for him to stay here and wait for her to persuade him.
Then he agreed, "Okay, sorry to trouble you."
She turned around and told her son, "Chaochao, don't be angry with your father. He is strict with you because he wants you to be successful. We are all doing this for your own good. You should be sensible and help others with their work. Mommy will go home and tell grandpa and grandma and pick you up tomorrow."
Gu Mingyue really tried hard not to say anything more. Alas, she said, "I'm doing this for your own good" again.
