Three wonderful stories in Lao Liang's story collection
Wonderful stories in Lao Liang's Tales Collection 1:
A pair of chopsticks is really accurate in judging people.
Having dinner with friends, my father just came to see me, so he took it and ate it together. Father doesn't like to talk, and he has been quietly listening to our chat while eating.
On the way home, my father said, You are my friend. Don't be intimate, okay? .
I was shocked. This friend got to know me for business. We worked together several times and had a good impression.
Father said:? Judging from his attitude, we can basically estimate what kind of person he is. He has the habit of picking up food. He always turns up the food at the bottom of the plate with chopsticks and pulls it several times before picking it up. He stirs his favorite food repeatedly, just like frying a dish on the plate with chopsticks as a spatula. ?
I don't think so: everyone has different habits. Some people like to chew slowly, while others like to stutter, and the requirements are not high. ?
Father shook his head and said, it is understandable if a poor person is faced with plates of delicious food, but your friend is a businessman and material life is not difficult. Eating like this only shows that he is a selfish and narrow-minded person. In the face of a dish, he completely ignored the feelings of others and fried it again and again with chopsticks. If he faces the temptation of interest, he will take it for himself by hook or by crook. ?
Then, my father told the story of his childhood.
When my father was 5 years old, my grandfather died, and the life of orphans and widows was extremely embarrassing, and they often went hungry. Sometimes when I visit my relatives' home, my grandmother will tell my father repeatedly in advance:? Son, you must pay attention to eating when you eat. You can't monopolize your favorite food, you will be laughed at. Our family is poor, but we can't lose our manners. ?
Grandma's words, dad has always kept in mind, even in the face of a full table of food, he will not lose his temper, always under control.
Finally, my father said meaningfully: Don't underestimate a pair of chopsticks. A small detail can show the accomplishment and character of the person who holds chopsticks. ?
What happened later proved his father's words. For a little petty gain, friends really abandon their righteousness.
Since then, I have always kept my father's words in mind. There are many temptations in one's life, but we should always control our desires. Good things should not be kept for yourself, but should be shared with others.
To refine a person's quality, we should start with the golden mean of a pair of chopsticks.
Wonderful stories in Lao Liang's Tales 2:
The Acheng story mentioned in Lao Liang's story collection!
Acheng, about 23 kilometers from Harbin, is famous in history? Jin Shangjing Huining House? .
My hometown is Acheng. When I was a child, I often went to my grandparents' house to play. There is an old elm tree near our village, which is very thick. It must be hundreds of years old. At that time, I often played under the tree with a group of young elders. I remember when I first saw this tree, I was still surprised, because half of the tree was dead branches and the other half was lush leaves. Hanging red cloth on the lush side is a bit weird. Courageous people often climb to the edge of dead branches, with a small tree hole just enough for a child. I heard a long time ago that this tree has a story. I thought about it before going back to my hometown. I have to understand what this is all about.
I can't talk to the old people in the village. They are all from my grandparents' generation. My hometown has big rules. Great-grandchildren like me kowtow to old people. I'm tired of it. I walk around them if I have nothing to do, so as not to get entangled in my head. Further down, young people don't seem to know much about this tree. Every time people ask about the old elm, they simply say, Ah, it's a dopted mother tree. Then I won't say much.
I'm an animal sign? Pick? Yes, as long as I am curious, I always want to get to the bottom of it. I can't sleep until I understand it. Unfortunately, this spirit is not reflected in learning.
Because there was no entertainment life in the countryside at that time, some people always gathered at the head of the village to chat with their parents after dinner, and many old people sat there smoking bags and chatting. I also leaned in quietly and squatted beside to listen. Listen, listen, I'm interrupting, but I'm trying to lead to the old elm tree. Sure enough, these old people were on their way, and the topic shifted to the legend about the old elm tree.
That was a long time ago. One summer, on a sunny day, a strong wind suddenly blew on the ground. At that time, everyone was working in the fields. Sharp-eyed shout, look! Old elm. What is that? Everyone looked up and saw something on the old elm tree. Because it was covered with leaves, and it was far away at that time, no one could see clearly what was on the tree, only a black thing attached to the largest branch. Everyone watched it for a long time, but no one dared to go. There is a young man named Bai in the village. He didn't care about that and went with a shovel in his hand. People in the field watched him get under the tree from a distance and saw him standing for a while, poking him in the tree with a shovel. Just then, I saw him turn around and run back like a scald. When he ran to the ground, he was buried there When everyone looked at it in the past, they were frightened. They saw this young man named Bai, covered in small spiders (spiders), which made people look at him. Ma ying? This guy died after people got rid of these spiders.
Since the tree was killed, no one dared to go near it. Usually, children dare not go there to play, and even the land next to the tree, no one dares to plant it. A few months passed quickly, and one day everyone was harvesting autumn in the fields. Suddenly, it thundered on a few dry sunny days, and it became dark while speaking. Then came the pouring rain, and everyone ran to the shed next to them to take shelter from the rain. Just then, thunder broke out in the sky. Strangely, lightning always goes around the old elm tree, but it just doesn't hit the tree. At that time, no one in the shed had seen this scene, and everyone was staring at the tree. Looking at it, someone said: There seems to be something red on the tree? Flash. Flash. Yes, whenever lightning strikes, something red flashes, and lightning always walks around like avoiding something red. It rained all afternoon, followed by thunder all afternoon. When it was getting dark, the rain finally stopped.
The next day, at that time, it was cloudy again, and thunder broke out on the top of the tree. In this way, it rained for three days in a row and thundered at the same time. Everyone thought about it and felt that it was not like ordinary lightning. An old man in the village said, can this old elm attract ghosts? Dare not accept this thunder? Later, I heard that when the thunder rang, something shook in the tree. The old man said, it must be a woman's thing, otherwise Ray would have been killed. It's going to thunder again tomorrow. Find someone to break its flag.
Sure enough, it thundered at the same time the next day, and everyone understood. But no one dares to go to that tree. At this moment, a child ran out. This child, also called Bai, is the younger brother of the deceased. I saw him holding two stones tied with red cloth in his hand and running towards the elm tree without looking back. Strangely, when he ran under the tree, the rain stopped, but the thunder didn't break. I saw him walk around the tree several times, and finally he stood still and stared at the tree with a stone. At this time, I saw a wave of his arm and threw the stone in his hand. Then there was a thunder and it hit the tree with a click. The boy named Bai turned his head and ran back. After the thunder, everyone saw something fall from the tree. This thing also fell to the ground and the rain stopped. After a while, everyone got up the courage and went in. What fell from the tree turned out to be a spider as big as a millstone, and on its leg was a stone wrapped in red cloth thrown by the child named Bai. The spider has a bloody pair of underwear on its head.
Everyone in the village thinks this spider is a demon. Although it was dead, it dared not touch it. Finally, the spider rotted by itself. But since then, the lightning struck side of the old elm tree has died. I don't know who said that later. It is said that this tree is full of aura. If the child is always sick, tie a stone with red cloth and throw it into a tree? It is said that children are easy to feed.
Wonderful stories in Lao Liang's Tales 3:
Snake wife
In the early years, there was such a village called Gaojia Village. Just say there is a senior member in the village camp. The old couple only have one son, Gaoshan, who is eighteen years old and has not married yet. The old couple kept him in the study all day and told him to study.
On this day, the sun was shining outside and there was no wind at all. Gaoshan to Grandma and Ne Ne (Manchu: Mom and Dad):? I feel dizzy reading in the house all day, so I want to go out for a walk. ?
? Ok, the weather is fine today. If you want to go out for a while. ?
Gaoshan was very happy when he left home. When he strolled to the suburbs, he saw birds chirping on the trees in the suburbs and green leaves on the ground. It was really a beautiful scenery.
Suddenly, there was a whirlwind on the ground. The wind blew harder and harder, and even the trees fell down. The mountain felt a light foot, let the whirlwind roll into the air, and it was black at the moment. When he woke up, he let the whirlwind blow to a mountain. He can't tell the east from the west. He saw a Mao Mao Street ahead and walked along Mao Mao Street. Go, go, it's getting dark. When the mountain saw a small hut not far away, it went to that small hut. Gaoshan walked into the yard and saw nothing moving, so he knocked at the door and asked, Is there anyone in the house?
? who is it?
? I searched all night. ?
The door opened and it was a girl. Gaoshan quickly saluted and said, Elder Sister, I am a foreigner. It's getting dark I want to find a place to live. Can I go again tomorrow?
? Which fortress are you from?
? I'm from Gaojiatun. ?
? Then why are you here?
? I let a big whirlwind roll to the top of the mountain. ?
? Oh! Where did you get hurt when the whirlwind blew so far?
? No injuries. ?
? It's good that you're not hurt. Come on in. ?
Gaoshan entered the house, and the girl said, you're welcome. Sit down and have a rest. ? Gaoshan sits on the edge of the kang.
The time for a pack of cigarettes passed, and Gaoshan stood up to leave when he saw that there was no one else in the room except the busy girl on the ground. The girl said:? Stay here. Where are you going?
? No, have a rest here. I'll find a place to stay and go home at dawn tomorrow. ?
? Where are you going in the dark? Besides, I can't find anyone on this mountain for half a minute. Don't go, stay with me. ?
Gaoshan said:? You are the only one in the family, and men and women don't kiss each other. In this wilderness, I am alone with you. Isn't it because you are an unmarried family like a white cloth that you can't wash it when you jump into the Yellow River?
The girl said after listening:? A straight body is not afraid of evil, and a straight foot is not afraid of crooked shoes! ?
The girl couldn't stay any longer after repeated detention. Gaoshan said, thank you for your kindness. I'm leaving. ? Say that finish, pushed open the door and left. At this time, the girl grabbed him and said, you can't leave until I let you go. ? I saw the girl pointing to the place where the mountain stood. Gaoshan felt that he couldn't take another step and agreed to stay.
The next day, just before dawn, Gaoshan got up and left. The girl said:? If you stay here for another three or two days, I'll ask you how to get home. There is no right path on this mountain, and wormwood is not raised. Where are you going? Maybe you can walk into that deep mountain canyon and let the wild animals eat it, but what can you do? ?
Dashan thought, the girl is right. I can't leave without asking the truth. If I lose my life, how can my parents live? I stayed another night.
For three nights in a row, Gao Shan and the girl slept in the same room. Gaoshan didn't take off his clothes. The girl looked at his honesty and said to herself, I seem to have a good eye. I am a good man! ?
When Gaoshan woke up, it was already dawn. Seeing the girl staring at him, I felt embarrassed for a moment, and my face turned red when I brushed it. Gaoshan wondered how this beautiful young woman could live alone on this barren mountain. He was thinking when the girl whispered to him:? You're awake. How did you sleep? Get up, wash your face and eat. ?
When going up the mountain, I don't know when the girl has cooked the rice and vegetables and prepared the wine. After the Gaoshan people washed their faces, the girl said, Come and eat, it's getting cold. ? Gaoshan refused, so he sat down at the table. After a while, Gao Shan asked. Whose girl are you? Why do you live here alone? Is there no one else at home?
? No one else, only myself. ?
? You don't have Amar or Ginny.
? These, you don't have to ask, I am also a good son and daughter. ?
She paused for a moment and said to Dashan. Why don't you pour wine for your wife?
? The daughter-in-law was stunned by the mountain.
The girl said:? Would you like me to be your wife?
? Me, me? Gaoshan panicked and said:? Amar and Nene don't know my life or death yet. How dare I book my life privately?
? If you promise me, I will let you go home today. But I won't let you go unless you promise. ?
Gaoshan doesn't dare to make a private life, but she really likes this girl. Seeing the girl looking at him affectionately, I thought about it and agreed to this marriage. The girl said to Gaoshan, I'll find you when I get married. Go home quickly, and don't worry Amar and Neve. ? The girl told Gaoshan again: There is a horse behind my house. Get on this horse and close your eyes. When the horse stops, you will be home. ? Gaoshan nodded and asked:? It's true. The girl said, that's not true. Don't you believe what your wife said?
After Gaoshan said goodbye to the girl, ride on the horse, close your eyes and listen? Whoosh whoosh? The wind blew and the horse stopped soon. When he opened his eyes, he was really in front of his house. After getting off the horse from the high mountain, he saw the horse jump three times and disappear without a trace.
Gaoshan saw that the horse was gone and didn't think about it. He hurried to the yard and shouted, Ama, Nene, I'm back. ? Ama and Nene were very happy to see their son who had been lost for a few days. They dried their tears and said, Son, where have you been? Amar and I were worried sick. ? Gaoshan said:? I wandered in the suburbs and lost my way. I stayed outside for two days, so I came back. ? Amar said:? Good to be back! Good to be back! ? Domestic slaves and court officials were also happy to see Gao Shan back.
After Gaoshan comes back from the mountain, he always thinks of his aunt when reading in the study, and he can't stand it anymore. When the old couple saw their son reading in the study, they couldn't help it. They said that our children are not small and our hearts are growing. If you have the right girl, you should find him a wife. ? Amal took the words:? I said so. It's time to find him a wife. ?
Coincidentally, before the old couple talked for a few days, there was a matchmaker to protect the media in the mountains. This girl is fifty or sixty miles away from Gaojiatun, and she is also a good family. The girl is beautiful and famous, and the matchmaker has agreed to guarantee three guarantees and two guarantees. The two families have chosen June 18 as an auspicious day to get married.
I went to the study and said to my son, boy, I told you a daughter-in-law, and everything was discussed with others. Two months later, June 18, you will marry this girl. ?
Gaoshan asked:? Whose girl is it?
? It's a girl from the southern Ma family, and it's our match. The girl is very good-looking, and I'm sure you'll like it. ?
? I had a daughter-in-law before. ?
? What? Do you have a wife? Who vouched for you?
? It's me. ?
? By yourself? What the hell is going on?
The mountain blew itself to the mountain with a whirlwind, and knew about the girl and told Nene in detail. Nene said: You didn't ask the girl's hometown, where to find her? Gaoshan also hates that he left in a hurry, and there is nowhere to find his aunt on that mountain. I didn't expect that my son must have met a wild girl and cheated him, so he said to his son, if that girl comes to you, I will let you marry her. ?
It's a month in a flash. On June 18, Mr. Gao decorated with lanterns and three relatives and six friends were holding a wedding reception. Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa! The horn sounded and the sedan chair arrived. However, the bride just can't get off the sedan chair, and the groom has to lift the curtain.
Gaoshan doesn't want this marriage. He looks after the cat in a small room at the back of the house. He heard his family looking for him outside. Some people say: don't ask the bride in the sedan chair to get off the sedan chair, wait for the groom to lift the curtain. ? Gaoshan heard the conversation and came out of the hut. When he came to the sedan chair and opened the curtain, he saw that the bride was none other than the girl he knew on the mountain. The girl is dressed like a fairy in a red coat, green trousers and dripping beads. When she saw the mountain lift the curtain of the sedan chair, she covered it and got off the sedan chair. She worships heaven and earth with the mountains happily and enthusiastically.
When the daughter-in-law enters the door, she is respectful and polite to her in-laws. The two old people were happy from ear to ear. Neighbors said that the Gaos had married a good wife.
One day, Gao Shan's uncle visited the old man's house. He is a monk in bright armor. When my uncle came, my nephew and daughter-in-law went to Jianli, lit a cigarette for my uncle, made tea and went out. At this time, my uncle whispered to the old couple:? Brother-in-law, sister, your daughter-in-law is a demon. ?
Sister said:? You talk nonsense. This daughter-in-law is filial and capable. How can she be a demon?
Brother-in-law also said: Yes, such a good daughter-in-law can't be a demon. ?
? If you two don't believe me, I'll get her out. ?
Gaoshan came out of the study when he heard his uncle coming. He was just about to go into the house to see his uncle when he heard his uncle outside the door and stopped. At this time, my uncle pushed the door and came out of the back room. He saw his nephew say, Your daughter-in-law is a demon, and I want to kill her. ?
Gaoshan quickly dissuaded him and said, Uncle, you can't treat her like this. She is very kind and filial to the elderly. My husband and wife are inseparable. I don't care if she is a demon. She is really a demon. She has never cheated or hurt anyone! ?
My uncle didn't listen to Gaoshan's advice and rushed out of the house. He saw his nephew and daughter-in-law cooking in the pot, so he read a spell. Daughter-in-law cried? Hey? He let out a cry and fell to the edge of the pot. Gaoshan saw his daughter-in-law lying on the ground, so he rushed over and picked up her and ran. My uncle saw my nephew running out of the house with his daughter-in-law, chanting and chasing.
Gaoshan just ran forward with his daughter-in-law on his back, and I don't know where he went. When he looked up, there was a deep and wide river in front of him, which was difficult to fly over. Seeing that my uncle is about to catch up, the mountain makes me stamp my feet. Suddenly a whirlwind blew, and the wind was dark. A tiger jumped out of the mountain and took his daughter-in-law away. The mountain fainted, and my uncle rushed up and saw that my nephew and daughter-in-law had been taken away by the tiger. It was no use saying a spell, so he went back.
When Gaoshan woke up, her daughter-in-law was gone, and tears poured down her face. He cried one after another. The more he cried, the sadder he became. He walked to the river and closed his eyes. He was about to jump when someone shouted behind him. Don't jump, I'm here. ? Gaoshan looked back, and it was his wife. He rushed over and gripped his daughter-in-law's hand. Daughter-in-law said, I am really a demon. ?
Gaoshan said:? You are a leprechaun, and I am with you. ?
It turns out that Gao Shan's daughter-in-law is a snake spirit who has been practicing for many years and wants to live on earth. The snake spirit changed girl fell in love with the mountain, so when wandering in the suburbs, she created a magical whirlwind and brought the mountain to the mountain. They made a lifelong commitment on the mountain. After the girl broke up with Gaoshan, she saw that the daughter of Mr. Ma's family in the south of Gaoshan's home had typhoid fever and was dying. This snake spirit made the spell lie on the kang, and Mr. Ma thought his daughter was well! Later, according to his daughter's wishes, Mr. Ma sent someone to protect the media in Mr. Gao's house, and the snake lady became close to Gaoshan.
Besides, Gaoshan's daughter-in-law returned to Gaoshan after being taken away by the tiger. Gaoshan held her hand and said nothing. At this time, Gaoshan's daughter-in-law snuggled up to his chest and said, this time, I am no longer afraid of chanting. It's time for me to practice. I'm really human. I was just saved by a tiger. I will be your daughter-in-law and never leave you again. ?
Gaoshan said:? That's great! Let's go home! ?
At this time, Amar and Ne Ne also found them, and the old couple were very happy to see the young couple holding hands together. Gaoshan and his wife helped Ama and Nene and went home happily.
Since then, Gaoshan and his daughter-in-law are close and warm. They live together with kindness and love, and their lives are getting happier and happier.
