Chapter 825: Do the things in front of you
“I was very upset, so I went out for a walk, and I met a group of children who were picking up leaves by the river. They were competing to see who could pick more leaves and who could pick more beautiful leaves.”
"I looked interesting, so I squatted there and watched for a while, and then I saw a child picking up a leaf and feeling dissatisfied, so he threw it away. Then another child ran over and picked it up. Treasure."
"Others laughed at the child who picked up unwanted things, but the child said they didn't understand at all, saying that the leaves were yellow and green in color, and the veins on the leaves were clear. They were so beautiful that they would put them in a book when they went home and use them as bookmarks. Come for use…”
"The purpose of my mother telling you this is to tell you that some people will like and appreciate everything in this world, just like arsenic. Ordinary people will think it is a highly poisonous poison when they hear it. I'm afraid I can't avoid it, but if your third uncle hears it, I'm afraid he will be extremely happy and will have to study the most suitable method of injecting medicine."
"Things are like this, and so are people. If you compete with Shuiliu in cooking, with bamboo leaves in embroidery, with Mi Dou in reading, and with your father in kung fu, you are naturally incomparable, but you have to compete with mother in kung fu. He competes with Shui Liu for washing clothes, competes with Bamboo Leaf for courage, and competes with Mi Dou for strength, but he is stronger in everything."
"You have many strengths. You are lively and cheerful, kind and sincere to others. If you encounter other people with any difficulties, you are always willing to help others. You are also very filial to your parents. This is great. You are already a good person for others. The kids at home can’t compare.”
"As for making a living in the future, you are still young and do not need to bear the burden of making a living so early. Secondly, I also feel that your father and I did not give you a chance to experience it. You I haven’t found a way to make a living yet.”
"But I think you don't have to be too anxious. The saplings will grow day by day. You won't see anything if you go there every day. But as time goes by, you will realize that it has grown into a towering tree. The same is true for you. Be yourself every day. What you should do, when the critical moment comes, you will find that you are also a big tree, able to stand up to the sky and the earth..."
Su Mulan said so much in one breath. Seeing that Bai Lixia seemed to understand a little, but also seemed to be a little confused, she smiled and said, "In short, it is good to prepare for a rainy day, but sometimes you can't give it to yourself." With so much added burden, it’s more important to do the things in front of you.”
“Do the things in front of you and do everything well. When you look up, you will find that the road has been made solid and smooth by you.”
Bai Lixia scratched her ears and nodded, "I somewhat understand what mother said, but I think I need to think about it carefully before I can figure it out."
"It doesn't matter, think about it, there is a lot of time." Su Mulan said with a smile, "If a person can live to be sixty years old in this life, you are just a sapling that has just grown half the height of the wall. Don't worry, take your time. Take your time."
"Didn't Mom tell you about the list of gods before? When Jiang Taigong was young, he was unable to do anything. When he was a lot of years old, he helped the Western Zhou Dynasty pacify the Shang Dynasty. You are only a few years old and you think so much. Be careful that you will tire yourself out. ”
"Yeah." Bai Lixia nodded vigorously, "I understand, mother."
Seeing that Su Mulan seemed to have nothing to say, Bai Lixia stood up and said, "It's getting late. Mother, please rest early. I'll go to bed first."
"Okay." Su Mulan also stood up, "There is hot water in the pot on the stove. Soak your feet before going to bed."
There are so many things in my little head, and a string is so tight that it suddenly loosens up, giving me a headache.
Soak your feet and relax, you will feel much more comfortable.
"Okay." Bai Lixia responded and went to work for a while. After everything was packed, she went into the house to sleep.
Bai Shitang saw that the mother and daughter had finished talking, and then walked into the room. Seeing Su Mulan rubbing her temples, he reached out and rubbed Su Mulan gently.
“It’s still hard for you to worry about the children.”
Of the few children, only Bai Mi Dou is a boy, and he often attends the county school. The remaining three little girls are already so old. As a father, he needs to avoid them to some extent.
Many times, Su Mulan has to worry more. Moreover, Bai Shitang saw that the children seemed to be closer to Su Mulan, the mother, than to him, the father.
"I am the mother of the children, shouldn't I?" Su Mulan pursed her lips and smiled, "Now that we are talking about the children, you can come with me to the Lu family tomorrow to have a look."
Fifteen years later, Xie Guangbai had his leg broken by Lu Jingyan. These days were the time to reattach the bone and stabilize it.
Such an operation would still be a huge operation even in modern times, not to mention that medical technology is not yet developed at this time.
The broken bone would probably cost Lu Jingyan half his life, and reattachment at this time would be worse than death.
Wan Xinyue and Lu Wenqing must be on tenterhooks.
Su Mulan was thinking about going to say hello and comfort Wan Xinyue, and also see if Lu Wenqing needed her help with anything.
Lu Wenqing developed a strong temper due to changes in her family. Even if she had difficulties, she would not take the initiative to speak out.
"Yeah." Bai Shitang nodded, "I just want to go to Linglong Pavilion."
Shopkeeper Guo came home these two days and told Chen Shang that his mother was ill in bed. The doctor said that time was running out, so Chen Shang had to resign and go home to take care of his mother and fulfill his filial piety.
His right-hand man has been working for so many years. As his boss, there is no reason not to meet him.
Bai Shitang and Su Mulan talked for a while longer, and then went into the house to sleep when the night was dark.
The next day, when Su Mulan got up, she saw Bai Lixia striding around in the house.
It was a very cold day, and her clenched fists were a little red from the morning chill, but there were a few beads of sweat hanging on Bai Lixia's forehead, which showed that she had been practicing here for a long time.
“Why do you get up so early and start practicing boxing?”
Since the winter last year, Bai Lixia has only been able to practice a little boxing at noon and evening because it was too cold. When she got up in the morning, she mostly stayed in the warm quilt and refused to come out.
“I think mom is right, don’t think too much, just do the things in front of you first.”
Bai Lixia stopped her horse and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Since I am strong and good at boxing, I will practice hard. If something happens, I will be stronger than usual." Some of them can come in handy."
“That’s right.” Su Mulan nodded.
Looking at this, Bai Lixia must have listened to what he said last night.
