November: Treasures that sleep on the horizon
What do you think of when you go to the beach? Sunlight! Beach! cactus! Bikini! Big muscles! Old Captain! BBQ squid! Takoyaki! Crab! volleyball! wheat-colored! There are a lot more! I won't write it anymore, I won't say that my thinking ability is not good, and because of my fat belly, I have few opportunities to go to the beach with others!
But this time I came to the beach, it was very miserable, very miserable. It was obviously news that the air-conditioning mass was coming, and everyone was too cold to go out casually. The boss was no exception, but he asked me to go to the beach for a holiday, and our conversation was like this.
"Boss, are you really joking? This kind of air-conditioning group said hello to us during the holiday, you exchanged the free coupon of the seaside B&B with me for the roast pork all-you-can-eat coupon, I must reserve my rights. !"
"Then, I'll give you a raise in December."
"And ah! I like to go to the beach with air-conditioning the most! Because I don't sweat!"
Well, if you knew it earlier, don't come for a raise. The sea breeze blows so that even a fat man like me can feel the body fat burning hard to help me warm up and keep warm. It's very good, really! Just don't get a raise is fake.
Going to the location of the B&B, the surprise is that this B&B is run by an old couple. In addition to growing flowers and plants outside, it also grows some edible crops. The living style is extremely simple. The room, originally wanted to say don't bother, but he said that few people live here at this time of year, and I was the only occupant in these two days, and my wife (the owner of the homestay) was also preparing a delicious dinner, hoping that I could relax.
I put my luggage away. I originally wanted to squat in the B&B and make fun of it, but after thinking about it, I went out and got a windproof jacket. The old man lent me to wear it. I think if many people stay, it should be not available.
Sure enough, when I stepped out of the door, the cold sea breeze was really trying to persuade me to retreat, but with the protection of the windproof jacket, I began to consider whether to buy a windproof jacket. It feels like the handsomeness of a lone ranger walking alone in adversity! But I should be able to choose the size better when I lose weight. Walking on the road with no one, I can see the black dog squatting in the dog house. It seems to be paying attention to whether I will invade his house. The hens that others have freed from the hens are cooing and cooing while walking on the road. I drove him to the place. I was pecked by it on the side of the road. Halfway through, there was a park where I could rest. I sat on the nearest bench and wanted to wait a while to play with my phone before going to the beach. Someone was pulling a windbreaker behind me. I looked back. , a little boy in a thick coat, gloves and scarf, it seems his parents must be loving him, but it's a little unsafe to let him wander around by himself.
"Uncle, do you want to come and find the treasure of the sea?"
"Isn't it uncle, said eldest brother, is the treasure at the seaside?"
"Yes! Then should we hurry to find the treasure, or we are afraid it will be gone!"
I asked him for a phone call just in case, so that I wouldn't be able to contact his parents to take him back, but why do I think the phone number seems to have an impression? I followed the little boy to the beach. Because I was wearing sneakers, I had to take off the sneakers and put them in a plastic bag. I followed him to the rocky area, but I had to wade through the sea and go around a big rock that looked like a kitchen knife. Came to a cave and it looked wet inside. Could it be a cave that disappears after high tide?
"I found it! The treasure is still there, not missing."
I looked at his treasure, and it was a huge amount of shells, and a huge amount! Like a hill, there are many hermit crabs walking around, and these shells are also left here by hermit crabs...?
"Son, did you collect these shells and put them here?"
"No, here is what everyone collected and put it here. The stones were piled by my parents for me. They won't be washed away by the sea, but sometimes the treasures disappear, and everyone has no treasures to exchange."
The little boy took some shells from the hill and let them out into the sea, and I don't know why.
"Isn't that a precious treasure? Why did you put them back in the sea again!"
"Big brother, everyone in the sea also needs treasure. If there is no treasure, everyone will disappear, so the treasure cannot be monopolized. That's a bad person, my grandparents told me."
In the past, I would pick up shells, but I didn’t know what the purpose of these shells was at that time, but I took them back and kept them as treasures. There was news on TV that people should not pick up sea shells. I still don’t know why they can’t. Picking up, when I grew up, I knew that shells are useful to hermit crabs and other marine life, so I put all the shells back into the sea, and I, who have been working, understood these things, but it was not until the little boy told me and put it into practice. After practice, these memories come to mind. Even if you have learned it, you may not necessarily use it. Knowledge is indeed something to expand yourself and make yourself better and better, but after learning it, you forget it because of time. So have we really learned it?
"Son, maybe eldest brother used to be a bad person, but I have returned the treasure to everyone, so is eldest brother a good person or a bad person now?"
"Hmm... that's a human."
"People? Is it just people?"
"Yes, a brother once told me that there are two types of people, people and bad people, and there are no good people, because no matter how much good people do good things, if they do one bad thing, they will become bad people, or if they do too many good things, the good people will become bad people. I feel that there is no achievement, so the good people finally turn back into people, so no matter what, only those who do bad things are bad people, and those who don’t do things and do good things are people, because people can only become bad people, and bad people can also change back to people, although I don't understand, but my brother said that if there is a good person, he is a human being, and a bad person is a bad person."
After listening to this sentence, I think that person must be a good person, but he has not done good deeds anymore, because he did bad things and became a bad person and was blamed by the society. Wait until the atonement is over to get the idea...
"The big brother told you, don't divide the world into only two kinds of people, because it's impossible to distinguish between different kinds of people, you have to go to school later, although there are not many classmates with you a few years ago, but I still Let's talk to you."
"Big brother, let's go first! Because the tide is high, you don't want to be a jerk, so hurry up and come out?"
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when I walked out of the cave, and it would be colder in a few hours, so after washing my feet with the little boy, I called the old man, and the little boy was his grandson, so I took him back to the homestay. , We ate a delicious seafood dish together. I praised him for being a chef. The old grandma wiped the little boy's mouth and smiled and said that she was really a chef before, and then she was chased by the old grandpa. Come here to be a chef! The dinner process was very lively, and I didn't feel like I was traveling alone.
Then I went back to my room to rest, the grandfather asked me if I wanted to drink, and I asked him if he was growing old, and he confidently said that he was in good health and that he would live to see his grandson get married! So I persuaded him to be healthy and persuaded him to drink some, so two aluminum cans of beer opened the next conversation.
"My grandson didn't cause you any trouble, right? He's very good, but I'm very confident that he can become a man as good as me!"
"Fortunately, he reminded me about the high tide, otherwise I would have taken a nap there and slept all the way to the sea."
"Young people are young people after all, haha."
"Abo, your grandson has his treasure, so you should also have your own treasure? Would you like to share it?"
"Of course, the one who told him to have his own treasure was me, and of course I have it too."
The old grandpa took out the photo collection, and each of the photos above are all photos of the sunset falling to the sea level. These photos are all from the same angle. The amazing thing is that these photos have been taken for more than 30 years. It can be seen that these can be said It is the priceless treasure of grandpa.
"These sunsets represent my family. I was 40 years old at the time. When my father was in the hospital, he said he would guard him at the sea level when the sun was sinking. At the time, I didn't believe it at all. That said, my sister also left a few years later. She told me that we are already elders, and no one can teach us a lesson, so we must leave something that can discipline ourselves. After we die, we will guard the remaining ones. People, so after my sister left, I started to look for the place where the sunset falls to the sea level, this is the place, so I quit my job and came here to open a homestay, I would take pictures every week, I regarded it as the most precious It is also my harshest reprimand, watching the sunset when I was accused and reflecting on my mistakes.”
When children become adults and adults become old people, adults who were children need older people who are older than them to teach them, and the old people will leave one day, so no one more experienced than adults can teach adults, unless every Every adult can reflect on himself like a grandfather, but the reality is often negative.
"You young people win in youth, remember to have more children, don't be like those young people who say things like the economic downturn and dodge things..."
Well, it was rare for me to say that the old man was a wise man, but I was wrong. I had to tell him certain polite words to change other topics. In addition, the old man is a very good chat partner. After all, the old man also understands video games. Although only people from the arcade era understand, games are a common topic of entertainment. what! So I played the red and white machine and the old arcade with the grandfather until 11:00, and was scolded by the grandma.
The next morning at six o’clock, the old grandpa who saw me woke up took me to have breakfast at a restaurant opened by someone he knew. Their restaurant has its own water tank, which is full of live seafood. The restaurant owner said that in addition to the original reservation In addition to cooking, I also asked for an extra seafood dish, and the grandfather gave me the right to choose, and I thought about it and chose hairtail. The restaurant owner praised me for being a good choice, because that was the freshest ingredient that just arrived today. Although to be honest, I think that choosing the lobster and crab next to it may be afraid of the boss's loss, so I choose the hairtail....
The grandfather said that his grandson had said that octopus is very good for the elderly, so he also thought that my choice was very conceptual. When the grandfather went to the kitchen to gossip with the restaurant owner, I checked the Internet, and octopus is a kind of deep sea. Fish, usually deep-sea fish, are rich in nutrients, which can supplement nutrition for the weak and the elderly, and hairtail can also supplement calcium. It can be said that it is one of the seafood recommended for the elderly.
After a while, a hearty breakfast was served, and the fried and delicious oysters, in addition to the main plump oysters, also included tofu and brown rice, and the grandfather said it was his idea, only he ate it like this , and let me try it today to see if the taste is acceptable, and I accidentally accepted the brown rice and other eating methods, which is kind of novel, and I must try it at home later. After eating the cold seaweed, it is the main meal. The octopus is fried well, and it is delicious to eat directly with rice. The grandfather said that it is really good to eat with juice. The last thing is the cold product Aiyu, although it is in In the cold weather, the meal will still be hot after eating, and it is very satisfying. Before I left, I told the restaurant owner that I would definitely come to eat here with other people.
Today's itinerary is to visit the nearby local shops and scenic spots. The old man also lent me a windproof jacket to wear. Suddenly, a truck passed by. The old grandpa waved to the driver, and then the truck stopped and chatted for a while. After a few words, I asked him to take me to the scenic spot by the way. I didn't expect that the other party would simply ask me to get on the bus. Although it was a casual way, I still gave the driver a little tip to him on the way. Before three o'clock in the afternoon, you can take me back to the homestay by the way. I thanked him, and before getting off the bus, he told me that there are not many tourists in the scenic area yet, although I will go to the delivery after shopping.
Although there are not many people in the scenic area, in fact, there is a trend of crowds gathering. I bought octopus balls and ate them while walking. Sure enough, I still think octopus balls are a good civilization. How did you survive?
I squeezed out of the crowd and finally came to the edge of the viewing platform. After I tried my best to take a beautiful photo, I was engulfed by the crowd again. I slowly followed to a higher place, and when I ran into a little trouble there, I queued normally. When I was waiting for the shuttle bus, there was a couple who insisted that I cut the queue, I followed the person in front, which one of my eyes saw the two of you staring in front of me. The little girl on my father's neck spoke for me.
"You lied. Just now, my elder brothers and sisters kept squeezing over, and my fat elder brother was always beside us. Liars will have their tongues pulled out in hell!"
After being told this, the moment the man was ashamed and wanted to curse, the woman realized she was wrong and quickly left the scene with her mouth covered. I took a deep breath to adjust my mood, thanked the little girl, and asked her father if he would like to. Accepting the treat, because very few people have a voice for someone like me now, the opportunity is rare, and I personally want to express my gratitude, and the father asked the little girl what she wanted, and the little girl said she wanted ice cream, wait for the pick up After the shuttle bus got off, I paid for the little girl's 5 balls of ice cream. The father gave me two balls of money after the little girl licked the ice cream. She said that her daughter didn't seem to know how to control it. I said it was okay, but I still accepted it. money. After I said goodbye to them, I went to the grilled squid stall in the middle to buy a meal to satisfy my cravings. On the way back to the scenic spot, I contacted the driver and said that I would be there in an hour and recommended me to eat the groceries next to the drop-off point. I told my grandma that it was recommended for delivery.
The grandma is very kind. Before the driver arrived, the grandma asked me to drink the marble soda. I thought about it and asked the grandma if he had grandchildren. After confirming that he had grandchildren, I asked him if he was using his phone all the time. The grandma said Elementary school is all about studying hard and not playing any mobile games. I tried to persuade my grandmother to study hard now, but that is also a way to communicate with classmates. Nowadays, people can be seen everywhere in this society. He shouldn't play too crazy, it's no problem to choose people carefully as friends, and then I also taught my grandma to watch videos to earn points, so that I can use the points to exchange for coupons, and I can treat my grandson to eat something delicious.
"Maybe I'm really old, and I don't even understand the things of young people."
"Don't worry, life will find its own way, the movie also said the same, I believe your grandson can do it."
Later, the driver arrived, and then the driver helped the grandma put on a coat, the grandma said thank you, and the driver helped the grandma into the house and set off, and the driver told the grandma in the car. He has amnesia and recently recalled his memories of being a primary school student, but his parents also had jobs, and his younger brother had to take care of him, so he took over his father's job after finishing his studies. His father took care of his younger brother, and his mother worked in the company, and his younger brother was taken care of by an old grandmother. as the former him.
"When grandma thinks about me, I cook and give grandma something delicious."
"Come on, brother driver, I'm giving you this letter. I'm a part-time postman today, so I'm sure I'll read it when my work is over."
I originally wanted to delete the contact information, but he said that the old man of the homestay is very good at looking at people. He believed that I would not sell his number. After he left, I said that the sale was not much money. It must be the government or the government. It was sold by a big company, and he left after showing his thumb out of the window.
"Big brother is back! Do you want to help grandma's plant friend water together!"
The little boy was reprimanded by the grandmother of the homestay and said that the guests were to be entertained, while I said that usually no one would entertain me to help me with watering, expressing the hope that I could help a little.
"In normal times, I would ask you to go back to your room and have a good rest, but if I have to cook a delicious meal today, my lady boss will accept your kindness."
After I finished watering with the little boy, I watched me swipe my phone, staring at me, very interested, and I told him that the phone should go to middle school or high school before touching it, he asked why, I said it would be addictive, but he actually He asked me if I was addicted. I tried my best to think of an excuse to respond within 2 seconds. The old man asked the little boy from behind if he wanted to watch cartoons, so he just looked at the cartoons on the tablet until the dishes were ready. Tonight is dinner. In addition to the new seafood dishes, there is a new fried bacon with spring onions. I can say that it is very delicious. If I buy bacon by myself, it must not taste like this. It has a unique smoky flavor and special seasoning. It's a trade secret.
Then I went back to the room. The old man said that he would have a good rest today and not disturb him at night. Looking at the photo in his hand, he must have captured the sunset, right? I started to record the events of the past two days. Suddenly, there was a message on my phone. It was a photo of the driver having dinner with the granny in the grocery store. He said thank you. When I thought about it, I was afraid that I would be abandoned and become an elderly person living alone. I wrote a letter for my grandmother, and then told my grandmother that I believed my family could understand. Fortunately, the ending was good. I closed my eyes tonight, although I didn’t do anything. Any dream, but sleep soundly.
The next morning, after I packed my luggage, the little boy asked me from the crack of the door if I could ask a question, and I opened the door and let him sit.
"What is your treasure, big brother? May I know?"
"I think about it...my treasure...?"
Looking at the little boy, I thought that the little boy likes to watch cartoons, so I asked the old man if he could borrow the tablet the little boy was watching, and help him follow a certain channel. The little boy watched it, but the old man didn't understand animation, so I had to say it was a cartoon, but I hope that the old man will review the content or watch it with him before showing it to him.
"Welcome to come again next time, and wish you a wonderful year-end."
What should I say...I should say no more, this is my November.
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
