Chapter 5

Wang Xiaoqin was holding her son in her arms. In this environment, her expression seemed rather awkward. She wiped the left side of her hair back with her left hand. Her face was delicate, which made people feel that she was not a good match for the man.
Wang Xiaoqin's eyes were always lowered, and Zhu Yushen guessed that she didn't see him. The bowl of seaweed soup and rice were served quickly. Her man scooped a spoonful of vegetable soup and soaked it in the rice, and he ate it very much.
.Wang Xiaoqin just took some seaweed, put it in a bowl, and ate it in small bites.
At this moment, the onlookers seemed to be fixed there. However, their eyes were all directed towards the family of three. The child in Wang Xiaoqin's arms also opened his eyes wide and looked at the people around him. The child's clothes also looked dirty.
Zhu Yushen was trying to recall what her aunt said about Wang Xiaoqin. Her aunt once said that the man's family was very poor and had only four walls; the two old ones were still sick. In this way, the couple had little money to spend outside and could eat.
Just have a full stomach.
But the people around them looked at Wang Xiaoqin's family for a long time as if they were aliens, including Lao Ma. At this time, Lao Ma finally finished the fried noodles. He looked at the time and said it was not early.
It was time to rush over. The two politely negotiated, and in the end Zhu Yushen paid the bill. After Zhu Yushen paid the money, he had an idea in his mind. He wanted to cook two more dishes for Wang Xiaoqin and his wife, but he
He was also afraid that this would hurt Wang Xiaoqin's self-esteem as a man. While he was hesitating, his boss grabbed him and said, "Let's go quickly, otherwise time will be tight. You seem to want to do something else." Just like that,
Zhu Yushen was dragged out of the hotel by Lao Ma. So the two of them strode towards the waiting area.
Lao Ma said: "You see, the woman just now was quite pretty, but she just didn't follow the right person. She ate that thing for lunch, in front of so many people, isn't that embarrassing?"
Zhu Yushen kept a straight face and said nothing. He looked back and entered the waiting room.
Entering the waiting room, everyone was lined up in a long line, ready to enter the platform. Da Liu and Sun Wei complained a few times, wondering why they didn't come until now? If they don't come, they will leave their luggage here, and they will go there on their own
gone.
In fact, the station only predicted that the train they were going to take had left from the neighboring station, and it would still be about ten minutes before they got here.
Zhu Yushen looked around. The waiting room of this station was already showing signs of dilapidation. However, the long paint painting "Fish and Rice" painted on the top of the east and west walls was more eye-catching.
It depicts a pair of young men and women, sowing seeds in spring, irrigating in summer, harvesting rice in autumn, fishing in winter, repairing fishing nets and other daily life scenes. It is very vivid and makes people feel that farming and fishing are very poetic and picturesque all year round.
thing.
Zhu Yushen felt that this might not be the case in reality. He looked around him - after the New Year, most of the people who went out to make a living were young men and women. It seemed that people in a land of plenty had to go out to earn a living.
Money is not enough to stay at home and do farm work. Their faces are anxious and dazed, which is in sharp contrast to the expressions of the men and women in the picture.
After a lot of crowding, Zhu Yushen and the four of them finally got on the bus. Lao Ma and Da Liu moved very quickly. Since there were many people getting off at this station, there were a few empty seats, so they grabbed two. Sun Wei wanted to
When I was eating, I also crowded with them. There were many people standing in the carriage.
The three of them took out food, and Zhu Yushen threw his beer to them. He didn't want to drink, so he stayed alone at the door of the carriage joint, watching the scenery outside.
At that time, the train had reached the suburbs of Wuhu. The hillsides and villages with mixed bungalows and buildings were receding. What he saw made Zhu Yushen feel that this place was poorer than the other side of Huangzhen. He thought of Xie Wumei.
The boyfriend I made later was from the suburbs of Wuhu. He thought: Is his home in this area?
After watching the scenery outside the window for a while, Zhu Yushen's thoughts returned to Wang Xiaoqin. He remembered that his aunt said that in the past few days, the female relatives of Wang Xiaoqin's family had advised her to abandon the child and separate from the northern man. I saw her today
The man's condition and the child made people feel that those persuasion were too cruel. Let me ask: what will the father and son do once Wang Xiaoqin leaves?
They should be returning home to Northern Jiangsu today. Wang Xiaoqin's determination is relatively good and she is not conquered by worldly pressure. Based on this, Zhu Yushen believes that it is difficult to find in today's society. However, their current situation
It is indeed too shabby. It is inevitable to be discriminated against by others and spurned by your parents' family. He sincerely wishes them good things in the future, and hopes that this couple, who started out with a legendary story, can live a happy life!
At sunset, accompanied by several screams, the train plunged into Hangzhou City Railway Station. During dinner in the evening, Lao Ma told the three of them the schedule for the two days: go see the West Lake the next morning
Ten sights, free time in the afternoon. On the third day, we went to Sijiqing Street in the morning, and then took the noon train back to Wuhu. It was evening when we returned to the city, and the four of us had to take a taxi back to Huangzhen. So we had to save these two days.
Spend some money. They found a cheap hotel to stay that night.
Early the next morning, four people took a bus to one of the scenic spots by the West Lake - Singing Orioles in the Willows. Although it was still early in the morning, the place was already bustling with people. This scenic spot was actually just a large willow tree, and it seemed that there were no orioles in sight.
.
The toilet in the willow bush was very modern and clean. They walked for a short distance and found a wooden deck chair to sit down and rest for a while. The water of the West Lake in front of them had turned black, and there were many cruise ships in the lake. A gust of wind blew in front of them.
Come, the lake water is blown against the shore, causing a small mist and a fishy smell.
Three sides of the lake are surrounded by mountains, and only one side can see modern high-rise buildings. Zhu Yushen couldn't help but think of a poem he learned in his childhood: "Beyond the mountains, there are green mountains outside the building, when will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop..." It seemed to be written
It happened in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. He thought that at that time, the mountains should be greener than now, and the buildings should be low buildings. The beauty of the West Lake at that time was the real original beauty. But now, the West Lake is surrounded by businesses.
This lake is almost overturned by the bustle and bustle of people. In fact, West Lake is fragile and cannot bear the increasing burden placed on it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Yushen and the others were enjoying the scenery in front of them happily, each thinking about their own thoughts. Accidentally, Lao Ma turned out to be with the two people sitting next to him.
The trendy girl struck up a conversation. Previously, a girl asked: "Why does it say on the stone beside the lake that you are welcome to the West Lake? Why is the West Lake called the West Lake?" Her companion could not answer.
Lao Ma is also a liberal arts teacher, and he is also good at writing. He once said that before he was transferred to Huangzhen, he published countless articles in the county newspaper and various magazines, which Zhu Yushen and other liberal arts teachers could not match.
I saw the old horse cough lightly and said: "Let me explain it to the two beauties! This is derived from a poem by Su Dongpo. The last two sentences of the poem are like this: If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, light makeup
Thick paint is always suitable. This Xizi refers to Xishi, one of the four beauties in ancient China. Su Dongpo said that West Lake can be compared with Xishi. So, the stone on the roadside says: Welcome to Xizi
Lakeside.”
These words made the two inexperienced girls suddenly realize. Their eyes were full of admiration for Lao Ma. Lao Ma was so proud that he said that he was a scholar who studied poetry in the Song Dynasty. Would he like to explain some more allusions?
For beauties?
But at this time, the two girls were no longer interested and were about to leave. After they stood up, one of them said: "Uncle, you are so awesome." The other said: "Uncle, goodbye!" Then the two of them jumped up and down.
gone.
Little did he know that this title of "uncle" made Lao Ma very hurt. He was originally ready to follow the two girls. But this title has drawn a clear line between them, and he can no longer think blindly.
What's on your mind? Lao Ma seemed to have been slapped and lay on the chair.
When Zhu Yushen and the three of them saw this scene, they thought it was really funny and they were very happy in their hearts. Zhu Yushen could understand Lao Ma's mood at the moment. Literary men and women like them often pursue perfection and can't stand women's cold faces and unpleasant words.
.
The three of them all stood up and prepared to walk forward to see the scenic spots in front. Sun Wei walked up to Old Ma and patted his shoulder. Then he stood up quickly and walked forward with everyone. Old Ma sighed.
He took a breath and said, "I'm only forty years old. Those two girls just now really can't speak, so they just called me big brother. Their shouting extinguished so much of my inspiration. It's really too bad."
"
Then, he pointed to the two towers in front and said: "The slender one is Baochu Pagoda, and the thick one is Leifeng Pagoda. We are heading towards Leifeng Pagoda now. There is a peerless beauty inside."
.**The sunset is also one of the ten scenic spots in West Lake, but it is morning and we cannot see this scene.
Sun Wei picked up what he was saying and said: "The Bai Suzhen who is locked up there is not only beautiful, but also virtuous, and has great energy. Whoever gets embarrassed with her will be really lucky."
Zhu Yushen also had a happy smile on his face at this time.
Da Liu stared at the faces of the three of them one by one for a while. He weighed it up and realized that all three of them were authentic liberal arts teachers and were currently teaching Chinese, with the exception of him. As far as he understood,
The three of them are all very talented in literature. As the saying goes, literati are poets. So when the three of them saw modern beauties and mentioned ancient beauties, they were very interested.
Da Liu increased his voice and said, "You literati and sluts get all excited when you mention women. If I were a woman, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't choose to embarrass you. I am so pissed off as a literati."
Sun Wei retorted: "If you are a woman and you don't choose a scholar, then what kind of person is your first choice? I'm afraid it's a rich man!"
Zhu Yushen continued: "In that case, wouldn't you fall into the cliché again?"
Da Liu said angrily: "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I don't have the ability to fight with other scholars. OK!"
Everyone looked at each other, smiled, and continued walking forward. Lao Ma asked Sun Wei: "About the story of Xu Xian and White Snake, our country has made several versions of TV series or movies, right?"
