Lao Sheng's happiness

The evening breeze brings the aromatic tide of grass and trees

Like waves, it is warm

Let everyone's heart be held gently

Like Mozart's hearing different from ordinary people, colleagues Lao Sheng's sense of smell is also different from ordinary people. Before retiring, he became a railway soldier for 20 years. Wherever the railway was repaired, he migrated. He could smell the pillow wood just transported, from Daxinganling or Dabie Mountain, and he could also smell the pepper you bought by cooking class. Is it from Wuwei, Gansu.

At that time, the signal in the mountains was very poor. There was often a snowflake on the TV. The daily entertainment of the railway soldiers was usually "掼 eggs". The boring life made people hold a card. And Lao Sheng was hairy about a thin book "Water Drops in the Forest" of Russian writer Porish. This book sent by the first love made this love still leave traces in Lao Sheng's life -his sense of smell was completely opened by Perishwen. "You take off a young bud and shatter it with your fingers. You can smell a long -lasting white birch, the flavor of the poplar, or the special scent of the past. Cai Liang's fruit ... "

Lao Sheng's sense of smell is delicate and magnificent: the tree is fragrant, the grass is fragrant, and the fern and moss are fragrant. Each culvert with the rejuvenation of the railway soldiers, every bridge arranged, all the mountains and mountains passing by, and the forest and the earth are writing a complex odor symphony. Some exude a sweet atmosphere, some sour, some are bitter.

In the leisure of the road, Lao Sheng picked various wild fruits and wild herbal medicines, dried and made tea, and conditioned the body for comrades. The sun is like a waterfall outside the barracks. Lao Sheng also built a soil kiln. He picked up the pine branches and old bamboo branches that were piled up to burn the kiln and handmade the soil tea bowl. These colorful tea bowls are all given to comrades -in -arms. Lao Sheng's ancient road hot sausage resolved the next job for him: In 2002, after his resumption, he was introduced by his old comrades -in -arms and entered the work of my newspaper to work in charge of the distribution. Since then, he has waited for freshly baked newspapers at the gate of the printing factory every day at four in the morning, and has been working for another 20 years.

The distribution is to wear acupuncture in tens of millions of lines. The first batch of large trucks were just loaded. Lao Sheng could report that the ink of these newspapers was lighter or thick. The college students who just came to the printing factory did not believe it. Sure enough, a few newspapers turned over, and both of them were dark. Lao Sheng said: "The air humidity is high, so you must quickly fine -tune the technical parameters. Otherwise, there are too many ink, not only the cost, but also easy to blackened his hands.

After living in the city for a long time, Lao Sheng felt that the sense of smell was dull. When he retired, he could not hear the difference between the sea salt Mocha and the hazelnut Mocha, and could not hear the Wuyi rock tea that had just been used with boiling water before he came up. Whether it is from "Niu Bokeng" or "Liu Xiangxuan". Lao Sheng was slightly frustrated and lonely. His solutions are very special: between the hills of the outskirts, a abandoned water tower was set up, rented for 20 years, and began to live his farmer's life.

Every weekend, he will sit at the end of the subway, change the suburbs of the suburbs to the water tower, and work for two days on the wasteland around that. This is the way he let him retire softly, but also to clear the lungs of the mountains. He planted various vegetables around the water tower. Standing on the top of the water tower, you can overlook the vegetable garden. Last Mid -Autumn Festival, Lao Sheng used the fruits and vegetables he cultivated by himself, and the fish and crayfish that he caught by himself were waiting for us. He covered the eye mask and showed us the return of smell. This is the keen perception of his retransmit since his 20 years returning to a railway soldier.

That day, we felt the autumn breeze on the old water tower. The evening breeze brings the aromatic tide of the grass and trees, like waves, which is warm, so that everyone's heart is gently supported. After staying here for a long time, our breath has become keen. We can smell the difference between Qili fragrance and mint, and we can also smell the slave blue root fragrance on the cushion. After meals, he put on hot tea, and Lao Sheng took out his "Drops in the Forest" that he has treasured for decades, with a bit of drunk, reading his favorite clip for us: "Youya is open, like chocolate color, the color of chocolate, Drag the green tail, and a large bright water droplets hang on each green mouth. When the sky is dark, only the water droplets and the sky are glowing: the water droplets take the light from the sky, in the darkness, in the darkness, in the darkness, in the darkness, in the darkness, in the darkness, in the dark The forest will illuminate us. "" I seem to feel that my whole body is reduced to a young bud full of resin, and I want to be open to that unique and unknown friend. That is a very good person, I just wait for When he comes, everything that hinders me to act likes the dust and smoke. "

I realize that Lao Sheng's happiness is the scarce product of this world.
