Read the original text of the modern text of Empty Nest.
Lao Liang put his left hand on his waist and his right hand on the bookshelf, leaning over the books arranged on the bookshelf. I silently looked at his back and sighed: he is old, we are all old, and it has been more than 30 years in a flash!
On the eve of liberation, an old professor called us together in the middle of the night and mobilized us to bring tomorrow &; Ldquo saves Professor &; Rdquo Our plane left this dangerous ancient capital. Lao Liang accepted the invitation and left with his wife Minami and his son Liang Ping, while Hua Ping and I stayed &; hellip& amphellip
From time to time, the sound of cooking and the fragrant smell came from the kitchen. My wife and daughter are busy in the kitchen. Lao Liang put down Bai Xiangshan's poem and said to me with a smile:&; Ldquo smells good! In my home in America, I will never smell this fragrance. & amprdquo
I said &; Isn't ldquo just cooking China rice? & amprdquo
He said: & ldquo After Mabel died, I seldom cooked by myself, which was very troublesome. Eating alone is boring. & amprdquo
I said &; Ldquo So, Liang Ping and his wife won't come back? & amprdquo
He smiled:&; Ldquo Well, his daughter-in-law is an Italian-American, unlike China, who cooks when she comes &; Mdash& ampmdash Well, you know &; I have to cook for them! & amprdquo
At this time, my granddaughter Xiaowen read Bai Xiangshan's poem word for word:
There is Shuang Yan on the beam.
Dancing men and women
Two muddy rafters.
A litter gave birth to Si Er.
At this point, she looked up and asked Lao Liang:&; Ldquo this &; Mr. lsquo Liang. Word, that's your last name &; Mr. lsquo Liang. Right? & amprdquo
Old Liang patted Xiaowen on the shoulder and praised him loudly,&; Ldquo, you are amazing. You know so many words, you can really read them! & amprdquo
I smiled,&; Ldquo people have to recognize thousands of words in the third grade of primary school. & amprdquo
Xiaowen has read aloud a way at this moment:
Once the wings are formed,
To the branch of the court
Lift your wings and don't look back.
Gone With The Wind
Men and women sing in the air
No return.
But into an empty nest.
Chat all night
Old Liang suddenly put his head in his hands and said to himself:&; Ldquo entered the empty nest instead, singing sadness all night &; Hellip& amphellip went into an empty nest instead &; Hellip& amphellip OK, stop it, Mr. Chen. How are you now? & amprdquo
I smiled and said,&; Ldquo Huaping is good. She has been teaching in a middle school and is now retired. I couldn't teach after 57 years &; It's good for hellip& amphellip to transfer to the library. I have collected many information cards. Six or six years later, my card was burned together with the previous one! After that, the situation was the same as that of most intellectuals. They made rounds, searched books, lived in cowshed and wrote inspections. Hellip& amphellip But I survived, and I never lost faith! & amphellip& amphellip has been idle for twenty years, and now the policy has been implemented, and it is retirement age, but I am busy! I said I couldn't go to the big class, but the school insisted that I take the graduate students. Fortunately, these graduate students,
They are all solid and hard-working, but their foreign languages are poor and they can't read foreign language reference books. After all, they have been delayed for more than ten years, and the youngest of them is over thirty &; hellip& amphellip& amprdquo
Lao Liang looked at me with recollection and said,&; At their age, we have become professors and department heads. & amprdquo
I said,&; Ldquo is this &; They are trying to recover lost time. Me, too. I can't wait to give them everything I know so that I can&; Lsquo green yellow rsquo connect it. There are endless articles, endless tasks, endless newspapers, endless letters, and busy all day! & amprdquo
Old beam suddenly stood up and said,&; It's better to be busy than to be alone all day&; Lsquo empty nest. Stay strong in the room. & amphellip& amprdquo
My daughter brought in a plate full of tableware. I stood up and carried the square table against the wall to the center of the room with Lao Liang. The daughter put away the cups and chopsticks, and then set a table of hot dishes with her wife in and out. The daughter picked up the Maotai bottle and said with a smile,&; Ldquo, I haven't seen you for 30 years. My mother will have a drink with Uncle Liang tonight. & amprdquo's wife said quickly,&; Uncle ldquo Liang can't drink, and Moutai is also very bad. I asked him to take this bottle of wine back as a gift. Let's cut it down, really! & amprdquo Lao Liang used to grab the wine bottle, poured a glass all over the floor, dried it as soon as he lifted his neck, poured a glass all over the floor himself, and poured half a glass for my wife and me. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and read aloud:
But which ten cups can make me so drunk?
Like I've always loved you in my heart?
Tomorrow we will be separated by mountains.
After tomorrow.-Who knows?
After reading it, he laughed, lifted his neck and drank the second glass of wine. At this time, his face was flushed and the sweat on his forehead flowed to his ears. The wife quickly snatched the bottle from his clenched hand. Lao Liang sat down, picked up chopsticks, looked at his wife and daughter's swollen eyelids and said,&; Ldquo, you not only take care of Mr. Chen, but also take care of me! I haven't been in charge for years &; Hellip& amphellip but it would be great if I was in charge! & amprdquo
The wife smiled and said,&; Ldquo, you still love children so much. Does Liang Ping have children? & amprdquo
Old beam smiled coldly and said:&; Ldquo can't, his wife is too much trouble, don't! & amprdquo
& amphellip& amphellip I didn't speak, but in front of me, I seemed to see the old beam, flapping its weak wings like an aging swallow, slowly flying to the empty nest in the distance.
