Wen 〡 Xiao Wu Ya

Figure 〡 Xiao Wu Ya

The first sight of Mr. Gu was infected by her smile. Although the temples were dyed with frost and wrinkles were deeply ploughed, she couldn't conceal her vigor from the inside out; a bright red coat set off her youthful breath, exuding charming brilliance.

I had breakfast with her, and listening to her and her poetry friends chatting in spirit, my ears were erected high: It turns out that Teacher Gu is seventy-four years old this year and has experienced four life and death. Under the mind and optimistic attitude, the danger is turned into a breeze. She is from Wuhan. When she told us about the Wuhan epidemic that affected hundreds of millions of people, I knew how difficult it was for the people of Wuhan at that time, but they all survived. When she talked about her childhood and her father, I could deeply feel that a little girl missed her father who was working outside, and hoped that her father could bring her a candied haws from the street after get off work.

I listened to her silently, thinking of my mother who had just finished the operation. My mother was ten years younger than Teacher Gu, but her mentality was far behind. After working all her life, she lost her labor force in a car accident. Since then, her inability to work has become her sorrow, and she always feels that she is a useless person, even if we don't have work for her. She was stuck in the pain she had created and couldn't extricate herself from it. She sighed all day, and no one persuaded her. At this time, I seemed to see that my mother, like Teacher Gu, was doing the work she liked, filled with happy things in her heart, and laughed like a flower every day...

Zhang Lao's calligraphy is powerful and powerful , Totally natural. At the calligraphy and painting exhibition early in the morning, the water around his desk was blocked. Everyone was looking forward to arranging for a picture. At this time, Mr. Zhang has been writing for a long while, and even the time to drink water has been borrowed, but he is still not anxious or dry, and he is slow.Be responsive and kind to all poetry friends who ask for words.

At lunch, I was lucky to have a table with Zhang Lao. When I saw him and his wife around him eating with their left hands, I was shocked. He joked: "Lao Zhang, you are so amazing. You eat with your left hand, write with your right hand, and develop your left and right brains at the same time. It's amazing! Also, is your wife a left-handed person?" Zhang Lao laughed at himself, "Back then. , Don’t you just need to find someone who eats with your left hand? Otherwise, you’ll have to fight when you eat at the table.” Now I changed to a table and laughed. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang was so humorous. Next, Lao Zhang’s wife recounted the situation when they met in the army for the first time, which made people sigh the wonderful fate: It turned out that Lao Zhang and his wife met at a dinner in the army, as the objects of the chief and the wife of the chief. They didn't know each other before. However, after moving the chopsticks, the wife of the chief first noticed that both of them were left-handed. She was very surprised and determined that the two were very close to each other. Finally, under her matchmaking, the lovers finally got married.

Speaking of the army, Zhang Lao is full of energy and expresses to everyone the poor and happy life in the army at that time. The soldiers will not only carry guns and cannons, but also all of them are in life. Good hand. At that time, the classic life tricks of the Sichuan Army were widely spread in the army: Obviously, as long as you wear a small military uniform, you only need to wear a large size, and the extra parts can be cut out to make two pairs of uppers; brush your teeth without toothpaste, rub your teeth with fine salt , It not only cleans but also sterilizes; a subsidy of 40 cents a day can save forty yuan by the end of the year...We can't help but give the audience a thumbs up.

Of course, I still admire Zhang Lao: on the battlefield, you can sweep invincible and defend your country; when you retire from the rivers and lakes, you can swipe your ink and write your life. The most important thing is that he has a heart that is always young. Although he is 76 years old, he helps his son and grandson while coordinating his time. He regularly takes his wife to travel north and south, and enjoys the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, all the way is poetic and picturesque.

Whether it is Teacher Gu or Lao Zhang, they are just the epitome of more than 100 poetry friends attending this meeting.Most of them are in old age and come from all walks of life: there are advanced educators who have been teaching for decades, there are smart doctors who have persisted in their positions for most of their lives, retired cadres, literary masters, and national first-class actors...whether they are What is his background? What is the background? They are all a shining star, a star that can illuminate others.

In a hundred years of life, we will inevitably grow old and say goodbye to this world. But how to say goodbye is a choice. Instead of sorrowing and sorrowing this stubborn life, it is better to live a splendid life even if there is only one day left.

I am Xiao Wuya. I write words with temperature and tell stories with energy
