When Chang Le heard this, he recalled what Chang Jianghe often said to him back then. Tears flowed down his face as he nodded vigorously. "Yes, Dad. I'll eat more. I'm strong and great. You eat too, let's eat together. "
"I'll eat …" Chang Jianghe chuckled. As usual, he would leave the dumpling filling, eat the skin, and give the dumpling filling to Chang Le. Then, he would say, "This filling is too greasy. I can't eat it. Lele, eat … "
Chang Le cried and ate …
Fangzheng watched from the side and sighed. He pressed his palms together. "Amitabha."
Fangzheng finally retreated silently, turning around and disappearing at the end of the street.
"Master, why are you crying too?" Salted Fish asked on the way.
Fangzheng looked up at the sky and said, "It's nothing … Jingzhi, some people say that when people die, they will become stars in the sky. They will look at you from above, smiling because of your smiles and crying because of your tears. Is it true? "
Salted Fish widened his mouth when he heard that. "Wahaha … Isn't that bullshit! This world doesn't even have cultivation, yet you want to become a star … why don't you become a sun? Haha … Master, are you stupid? "
Fangzheng's face darkened when he heard that. He slapped the fish head. "You don't know how to flirt …"
Fangzheng couldn't be bothered with the stupid fish. He continued proceeding forward and sighed as he walked.
After seeing the relationship between Chang Jianghe and his son, Fangzheng also missed home. He thought of the old monk who used to live on the mountain …
"Master, I heard that person say that having an elder at home is like having a treasure. What does that mean? Old people are treasures? "Salted Fish asked, perplexed.
Fangzheng thought for a moment and sighed. "Elders are really treasures, and not just any ordinary treasure."
"Why?" Salted Fish really couldn't figure it out. The elderly didn't have the ability to work and needed someone to take care of them. How could they be considered treasures? A burden, right? However, he didn't say it out loud for fear of getting beaten up.
Fangzheng said, "Jingzhi, if you were to live again with your memories, do you think you would lead a better life now?"
Salted Fish was taken aback before he said, "Isn't that obvious? It's definitely better than now! "
Fangzheng continued. "That's right. Most people think so. In fact, this was indeed the case. With experience in the lead, one could take every step on the right path and never lose their direction. They could speed up and use the shortest amount of time to reach the highest height that they could reach.
But can people be reborn? "
Salted Fish said, "Even on Mount Numinous, this is a huge problem. Definitely not here. "
Fangzheng nodded. "That's right. People can't be revived …"
"What has this got to do with the elderly?" Salted Fish asked again.
Fangzheng smiled. "The elderly are experienced people. They have reached the end of their lives, but they have also accumulated a lifetime of experience. Perhaps some experiences were outdated and incompatible with this era, but some experiences were immutable. For example, the principles of being a person, such as the choice between money and character … These, the old man could give you the most accurate guidance.
When he was confused, he would return home and tell his elders about his confusion. He would use his lifetime of experience to help you analyze it and give you a relatively good answer. Or, tell you, what you do is right, what you do is wrong, what the consequences are.
Isn't a person who can guide you on the path and make you less stumble a treasure? "
Salted Fish thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed a treasure. However, young people these days might not listen to it."
Fangzheng chuckled. "They're young, so they have to let go of their inhibitions. Otherwise, they would be letting down their youth. Youth is the scars of stumbling. Without these scars, it would be a little boring. However, in the future, they will still understand how precious an elder's advice is. "
Salted Fish nodded. "That makes sense."
Fangzheng continued. "That's only the first aspect of a treasure. The second aspect of a treasure, heh heh … What did your parents call you when you were born?"
"Treasure … Uh, I think so." Salted Fish blushed.
Fangzheng nodded. "That's right. They still treat their son as a treasure despite him looking like that. They love him so much that they wish they could crush themselves and give them to you."
"Master, can we not attack each other when we speak? What do you mean I look like that? I was very handsome before I was pickled into a salted fish! "Salted Fish said unhappily.
Fangzheng said, "It doesn't matter if you're handsome or not. In short, your parents love you, right?"
Salted Fish said, "Definitely, although I've never met them …"
Fangzheng: "…"
Fangzheng continued. "They treat us as treasures in their palms and give us their entire lives. Then, when they get old, their intelligence deteriorates, their memories decline, and their actions become like children … Why can't they become our treasures? "
Salted Fish was taken aback as he said, "Master, although I've never met my parents, I think you're right. Be it putting yourself in their shoes or karma, it should be the same. "
Fangzheng nodded and continued. "The third aspect is also the most precious."
"What?" Salted Fish asked.
Fangzheng said, "A place with the elderly is home … From the moment you were born, they used their arms to protect and protect you. They gave you a warm and peaceful home until you grew up. But when you grow up, do you have a home? Heh heh … No matter how old you are, no matter who you are, no matter how high your position is, no matter how great a god you are, in this world, only when you return to your parents' side will you feel that pure love! Pure concern! Pure care! In their eyes, you will forever be a baby in swaddling clothes …
If the elderly are no longer around, you will never have this experience again … "
Salted Fish fell silent …
As they walked, Salted Fish suddenly said, "Master, have you seen your parents?"
Fangzheng shook his head. "No, have you really not seen your parents?"
Salted Fish shook his head. "When I woke up, I was in front of Buddha. Some people say that Buddha was the one who enlightened me. According to this, Buddha is considered my parents. However, I'm talking about my parents who gave birth to me and raised me up. "
Fangzheng gently stroked Salted Fish's head and said, "I've never seen them either. In my memories, there seem to be two figures that left, but I can't see them clearly. In my memories, the person closest to parents is my master, Old Dad One Finger. Unfortunately, he left too early … If he hadn't left, I would have been able to be filial to him. "
