After the incense stick is lit, what exactly happens before and after?
Chen Hao actually doesn’t know.
She only knew that a fresh smell like the one after the rain spread out in front of her and entered her nose, causing her to unconsciously take a deep breath, then another breath, and then another breath, and then another breath.
suck.
Breathing unconsciously becomes deep and slow.
All the attention is spent chasing, feeling and immersing in that peculiar smell.
It was as if the whole person was suddenly plunged into an unspeakable situation.
Chen Hao has also practiced yoga herself. She knows that the indescribable condition is called "meditation", which is something that is emphasized in authentic yoga rather than in beauty yoga.
Before, she thought this was a bit nonsense.
At least, there is a strong element of psychological suggestion.
But just now...
She neither meditated nor thought, she just lit a stick of incense, and then, without any mental preparation, she was dragged into that legendary situation.
It was when the incense stick was about to burn out, and when she put it close to her finger, she felt a burning sensation that could not be ignored, that she woke up and returned to her normal state.
And when she wakes up.
Discover.
This small room is already packed with people!
The members of the club, as well as the service staff, who are in this club today, are almost all concentrated here at this moment.
No, not nearly!
That’s a lot!
Chen Hao looked around and found that it was not just them, but there were also people she didn't recognize.
The next moment, she squeezed a few steps and walked out of the room, only to find that the passage outside was full of people. At least, there were dozens of people older, right? There were actually quite a few men inside!
"Second son, wake up!"
When she pulled him, the little coach also became excited and woke up.
"Wake up Dong Qin and the others. You stay here to put order in order with them, and invite the irrelevant people out." After Chen Hao said this, he quickly wrapped the remaining five sticks of incense, and then directly put it towards his chest.
The first one blocked him and he escaped.
Although there were people in the passage, fortunately it was not crowded with people. It was probably because the time was short, and it was hard to say how long it would be.
Chen Hao walked out of the club quickly and lightly, like a cat, drove his car and went home.
She thought of her father.
Chen's father only graduated from elementary school, but it was not unusual for someone with such an education at that time.
Of course, there weren't as many part-time job opportunities as there are now, so all Chen's father could do was some odd jobs.
Work as a bricklayer and follow the foreman to help people in the small town build or repair houses. The houses in those days were not the houses of later generations. A small bricklayer like him didn't have much money to make. Most of them would just hang out.
Eat mixed.
Not only building a house, but also building a pigsty, a biogas digester, and digging water pipes.
Anyway, he did any job he could find.
If you don’t do it, where will you eat it?
Where will the money come from to support two children, favors, and household expenses?
"Dad, I just suffered from being uneducated. You must study hard!"
These words were like a curse and were firmly embedded in the minds of Chen Hao and her brother. When they were young, their father often beat them up because of this!
cried.
I hated it too.
But when both siblings graduated from Peking University and became adults, looking back on the past, the first thing Chen Hao remembered was not that his father had been so harsh on them academically that he beat and scolded them, but his father's suffering in the past years.
It is said that the human brain does not and cannot remember the entire past, but will extract one or more fragments from it as "typical memories."
Chen Hao suddenly remembered a scene from the past.
It was probably when she was in the first grade of elementary school.
Her father was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, shirtless and barefoot, running a pig pen for his second uncle's family.
The second uncle and second aunt were chatting and laughing with other adults in the town, and they also talked and laughed with her father from time to time.
A group of children gathered here to watch the fun.
At that time, it was lively.
So does Chen Hao himself.
I didn't know anything about it at the time, and I didn't think it was anything.
But when he had to fetch water at night, she muttered that her father smelled bad.
Twenty years later, when he recalled the events of that year, as well as some other fragments, Chen was so heartbroken that he burst into tears. He couldn't stop crying for a whole day.
That night she bought a train ticket and went home.
She just wanted to kneel in front of her father, hold his legs, and tell him two things:
One, she has grown up and is sensible.
Two, she loves him.
And she really did.
Twenty years have passed, and their family no longer lives in the small town back then, but instead lives in a villa-style community developed by themselves.
Twenty years have passed, and that man, his father, is no longer the shirtless and barefoot man who used to open pig pens for others. Thanks to the great development of the times and his own hard work and hard work, he
He has already become a wealthy man in the land.
Similarly, twenty years have passed, and that man is no longer the capable man he was before.
He declined prematurely in his prime.
His momentum has increased, a hundred times a thousand times what it was back then.
His body bones became weak.
There were thick calluses on his hands and feet.
He has severe arthritis in his left leg, which makes it crackle when he walks, as if he has a mechanical leg.
Both of his arms suffered from rheumatism and became unbearably sore on wet and humid days.
He had severe gastritis in his stomach.
If he didn't dye his hair, most of his hair would be gray.
If he didn't straighten his waist from time to time, he wouldn't be able to walk well, and his body would always move forward involuntarily with a slight stoop.
His big hands were still so strong and warm, but the whole hand was covered with wrinkles one after another. Even though his nails were carefully trimmed, they couldn't look beautiful because they had been contaminated by water and moisture for many years.
…
Too many, too many.
from head to foot.
Inside and outside.
It's all fault.
Chen Hao gradually discovered these little by little in the days that followed. Every time she discovered something, her heart ached a little more.
Over the years, from the eldest girl of the Chen family to Princess Chen Hao, all the changes in her body were brought about by her father in this way.
From the eldest girl of the Chen family to Princess Chen Hao.
Then from Princess Chen Hao to the eldest daughter of the Chen family.
Chen Hao has swallowed up all his pride. Once the baby swallow left the nest, but now the adult swallow has returned.
She learned to cook from the nanny and was even better than the nanny.
She consulted her classmates who were studying at Xiehe University. If her father was in a situation like his, what improvements could be made in terms of diet and other aspects?
She tried her best to give her father even the smallest amount of care and attention.
And since she came home, no matter how busy his father was, he would spare at least one day every week. On this day, they would be a family of three, old father, mother, and a pretty girl.
Her younger brother is studying abroad at Harvard Law School.
"Dad, how about I teach you yoga?" She once suggested to her father "innocently".
Only when you are in pain and no longer young can you realize how incompetent modern medicine is. No matter how much money you spend, it is useless.
