The fairy father

'dad? ’

Li Pingan called softly.

The young man in front did not hear his call and continued to joke with the figure next to him.

After trying several times in a row, Li Ping'an realized that he was a spectator at the moment and could only watch from the sidelines. Many of the things he saw next were what he heard his parents say when he was a child, but he had not done so before. I never thought that those light words from my father's mouth would have such a heavy weight when they actually happened.

For my father, the biggest thing in life is actually opening a factory.

In the spring of 1990, my father, who failed the college entrance examination, entered this factory with thousands of people under the arrangement of his grandfather and started to earn an iron rice bowl.

Relying on the connections accumulated by his grandfather and the honor accumulated over the years, within a few years, my father became prosperous and became the technical backbone and interpersonal backbone of a certain workshop in the factory. He only waited for the seniority to be promoted to the workshop director. .

Having to work in a factory and being a social activist is a double physical job.

Li Ping'an followed his father with a young face, watching his father chatting and laughing with all the familiar uncles and uncles, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Ah, they also tell dirty jokes.

Sure enough, no matter how the times change, this thing will always be a kind of productivity.

Li Ping'an looked at it for a while, and suddenly remembered that he was trying to remind his father not to be deceived by the way of heaven.

‘You can’t follow your father in circles. ’

Li Ping'an closed his eyes and thought, with many thoughts in his heart. His figure suddenly rose to the "high sky", and when he looked down, he saw rows of closely arranged gratings appearing below.

Each grating represents a relatively profound memory of my father.

Li Ping'an's body wandered over it, but he did not find the 'human form' transformed by Heavenly Dao; but his own insights revealed that his father must be confronting Heavenly Dao in a corner.

What to do?

Li Ping'an grinned, but became fierce.

Look for them one by one!

His body suddenly turned into a beam of light, rushed back to the factory where he was, and began to search carefully everywhere.

Relying on the illusion condensed by memory, the main picture has always revolved around the subject of memory. In the corners that Li Dazhi's "sight" cannot reach, the factories are empty and dark.

Soon, Li Pingan left his father in his youth and entered the second grating.

He suddenly stopped and his eyes trembled slightly.

It was beside the sunny window sill, and there was a young-looking woman, wearing a dress and a red sweater, with fashionable slightly curly hair, leaning out and looking out.

"I'm back!"

The door opened and closed. The young man who entered took off his scarf, hung up his work clothes, glanced at the window, and rushed forward.

"Ouch! Comrade Wang Qinfen! Don't catch a cold!"

The woman chuckled and said, "I'm waiting for the man selling candied haws."

"Just open the window and listen to him shouting. Why are you standing here? If you can't buy anything today, I will ride on my bike and buy it for you. Come here quickly!"

The young man brought his wife back to the living room and helped her sit down carefully.

The wife was so amused that she kept laughing, but her eyes were filled with joy.

"It's fine with me. It's really not that valuable."

"How come you, little comrade, have such a low ideological consciousness!"

The young man muttered:

"You are in the first trimester of pregnancy now, and the doctor said it is not stable. You must be careful and careful, always be aware of safety, maintain high concentration, not be afraid of difficulties, keep your mission in mind, and smoothly go through the difficult early stages of pregnancy and complete your journey towards pregnancy. In the mid-term, we will land on the Great Plains and strive to be the representative of young pregnant women in the new era!"

The wife smiled from ear to ear and said angrily: "Are you mentioning the director now? Why are you doing the same thing?"

"I'm incompetent! Leader of the 358 Group! Known as Zhao Zilong of the Steel Factory! He has a Level 6 fitter certificate and a heart that loves the party! Always ready for the workshop director!"

"Don't be poor, I'll cook!"

"Hey! Just sit down and I'll go! I'll bring it over to you later, so don't move!"

The proud young man hummed a popular song, put on an apron, entered the kitchen and began to execute the stove operating instructions.

After only a few minutes of work, a long-lost shouting sounded outside the window.

The house was in chaos again.

The wife hurried to the window and yelled, the husband hurriedly took off his apron and rushed to the door, and the door that didn't have time to close.

Li Ping'an silently took a few glances at his mother's appearance when she was young, and slipped away from the door.

Although he also wanted to slowly appreciate the scenes of his parents when they were young, he was really in a hurry now.

After passing several gratings in a row, Li Ping'an stopped in this room again.

The grating appears to be particularly dense during the time when the mother is pregnant.

He carefully recalled what his parents had said to him. Many of them could not be remembered clearly, but his parents must have suffered a lot during that time.

Just like...

“Our factory has optimized every one of our workshops.”

The pregnant wife sat at the table with tears in her eyes, with the meat porridge in her hand that she had not yet drank, and her husband who kept comforting her beside her.

"Don't cry! This is not normal! The sweaters in your sweater factory can't be sold in the first place."

The husband said quickly:

"Isn't it still me? Don't worry, the house won't collapse."

The wife said with red eyes: "Don't you want to spend money on your child in the future?"

"No matter how you raise it, you raise it. Didn't we have nothing when we were young? It was more difficult for our parents back then, so you don't have to worry."

The husband chuckled:

“Recently, there was a meeting in the province, and our area became a pilot project. In the past few days, some banks have come to the factory, offering very low loan interest rates, and encouraging us to start some small business.

“When I followed the factory leaders to the south for research, I found that several products were in short supply there.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll resign from the factory and take out a loan to build a small factory. We can build whatever is needed there. Can we spend less money in the future?"

"Is that okay?"

"If it doesn't work, from now on we will produce what we lack, not produce what we will arrange. This is called adapting to the changes of the times."

The husband said seriously.

The wife asked: "What if we lose the money?"

"I'm sorry... let's go to my uncle's house to jump in the queue together! I'll be a poet in the sorghum field, and you just stand on the ridge and sing to me. Anyway, as long as you don't starve to death."

The wife chuckled, lowered her head and ate the meat porridge.

"How about I go set up a pancake stall," the wife said, "My pancakes are delicious!"

"No, what is my identity? Are you going to bake pancakes? Who doesn't know this? I will be an eighth-level fitter in a few years, and I will be the workshop director when I reach my seniority!"

"Many old leaders have gone to set up stalls, but no one has said anything."

"That's different. I am a young man. Young people represent the future of the country. We cannot regress ourselves. Don't worry, we will definitely not wrong our son."

The husband was talking nonsense, and the wife was smiling peacefully.

She did not see the anxiety and uneasiness in her husband's eyes.

Li Pingan recalled it carefully.

This memory... probably happened after my father received the news in advance that the steel factory was about to close down.

Pregnant wife, a job in jeopardy.

Li Ping'an quickly shuttled through the gratings. He saw it many times. His father stayed up late at night and walked around the room. During the day, he said he was going to work. When he arrived at the factory, he looked at the machines that were not working, and chatted and worried with a group of workers. .

In the rapidly flashing grating, the huge black wall transformed into a factory collapsed.

But my father just watched from a distance, with tears shining, and turned to the wave stirred up by the black wall.

He took out all the savings from his grandfather and himself, and used the small commercial house he had saved up to buy as a mortgage. He spent almost everything he had, and as if to create a miracle, he set up a production line consisting of several old lathes and opened his workshop. The guys inside pulled over.

From then on, my father began to run south frequently.

So much so that his mother kept complaining that when he was born, his father was still sleeping on the train.

The memories in these gratings record my father’s years of struggle.

Li Ping'an soon 'lifted into the air' again. Looking down, he saw only one-tenth of those gratings.

Father at the end of the grating?

He tried to cross from above, but was blocked by a transparent wall. He realized that he was just an observer and had to observe one by one.

Li Ping'an sighed and continued to browse quickly.

Opening the factory was not smooth sailing, and the stories about my father were enough to make a TV series.

Like, bankruptcy crisis, poor management, factory accident, broken capital chain, backstabbing of old brothers, desperate counterattack, rebirth from the ashes, stomachache caused by drinking and socializing, factory fire, environmental inspection...

My father's figure has gained weight, then lost weight, and gray hair has gradually appeared on his temples.

He changed from carrying a backpack to carrying a leather bag, from carrying a mobile phone on his shoulder to carrying a PHS on his waist, and drove his Santana with high spirits.

When he reached middle age, his father sent away his grandparents. Perhaps half of his crying when his grandfather passed away was to release the pressure in his heart.

The wife who appeared in the grating gained weight slightly, gradually became jewel-like, and suddenly became a photo hanging on the wall.

Li Ping'an saw himself in school uniform, hanging his mother's photo on the wall, and his father who drank a glass of white wine.

"Peace be with you. From now on, we and I will depend on each other."

Li Ping'an didn't understand at that time why his father cried like a child after saying this.

He probably understands now.

My father just couldn't bear to leave his wife who died of illness.

Li Ping'an sighed, and continued searching downwards without staying any longer.

He quickly passed through two-thirds of the grating forest and found a node - the node where he was hit by a truck.

Moving forward, there is a strange and bizarre world.

Lao Li woke up on Xiao Li's back, his whole body hurt, and he asked how Xiao Li was doing.

Old Li and Xiao Li looked up at the sky together on the hillside. They saw several figures flying by. Old Li was startled and Xiao Li shouted with laughter.

Lao Li, who had recently recovered from his injury, was sitting at the entrance of the village, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance. When he saw the hunters returning from hunting, he went up to ask if there was any news about his son Xiao Li.

Li Pingan was a little ashamed.

At that time, he was focused on finding a fairy, but he forgot that his father would also feel panic and confusion after he was left alone.

Because he subconsciously felt that his father was omnipotent.

The Wan Yun Palace of the Wan Yun Sect appeared in the grating, and a group of old people surrounded my father.

At this time, Li Ping'an clearly heard his father's voice...

‘I’m going, what’s going on? ’

‘These immortals don’t look very smart. What are they doing in the mountains? ’

‘Let us kowtow to you Taoist priests who are so mysterious and ghostly? It's a good idea, the factory director is also the mayor's guest after all. ’

The scene changes.

Comrade Lao Li knelt down in front of the old man Kong Ming and shouted: "Master is on top."

Li Ping'an heard his father's voice again...

‘Hey, hehe, this old man is so easy to coax. He is so old, so it’s not a bad thing to accept my worship. He should be regarded as a godfather. My foster father is on top, please accept my child’s worship! Be Lu Bu, be Lu Bu! ’

Li Pingan had several black lines hanging on his forehead and quickly passed through the grating.

The grating at the back should be relatively close, with rich details and bright colors.

The point is, every scene has Comrade Li’s voiceover.

Li Ping'an looked at his father with a kind face and listened to his father's slightly 'treacherous' voice. His whole outlook seemed to be subverted.

For example, Li Dazhi activated his magical powers.

"This master is really nice to us. He doesn't ask us to do anything. He gives me all the benefits. Forget it. I won't be Lu Bu anymore." ’

‘I wiped it, how can I smash the ruler so hard? Whose responsibility is it for the injury? ’

‘Would you like to sing for good luck? Good luck to you, good luck to you... Oh ho! What a magical power! ’

Another example is Li Dazhi riding the clouds and controlling the sky.

'Let me see what these fairies look like... They are quite beautiful, and I don't know what their personalities are like. If Ping An could marry a fairy as his wife, he would be happy. ’

‘One definitely can’t do the same. They are all talking about the Yellow Emperor’s three thousand concubines. When we become immortals, we will definitely get three wives and four concubines for Ping An! piece of cake! ’

‘Oh ho? Is he practicing swordplay with someone? Is it possible to have a grandson? ’

Li Ping'an casually smashed several reverie images that appeared on his father's forehead.

Another example is before and after Li Dazhi presided over the Wanyun Sect competition.

‘Here comes another one! Well, this is not bad. She is ruthless and can be Ping An's wife No. 162. ’

‘Why is that Xiao Yue looking at me? Am I familiar with her? Good guy, could it be that this old cow is also thinking about the young grass of my family's safety? It's not bad for a female college student to be ranked among the Immortal Class, but Xiao Yue is from Mo Yi's side. I guess she won't be interested in an old man like me, right? Ah this? She looks really pretty and has a good figure. Hey, look...'

‘Has Mo Yi lost his mind? Only those who can take what is given by the head of the family can take it even if the head of the family does not say that it is given to them, and neither can the deputy head. ’

‘Go into seclusion, you! ’

There are all kinds of things, not all.

Li Ping'an really didn't know that his father's inner world was so rich and colorful, he was constantly "humbly" and suddenly "eluding".

There were several gratings at the back that were sealed, and Li Pingan knew that this was the affair between his father and Aunt Xiao Yue.

Li Ping'an didn't have any peeping habits, so he lowered his head and barged in without hearing or seeing.

The front suddenly became empty.

The last grating extends infinitely in the void, and the picture is frozen in the brothel cloud boat.

‘Alas, Ping An is trapped by the way of heaven. We should think of a way to make him feel relieved. ’

‘Tiandao, if this thing is order, then it’s not bad, right? Even Tiannu died violently, this problem is more serious. ’

Suddenly, my father's voice changed suddenly.

'Those sect leaders are the winners of several great eras. Even if they are going head-on now, the highest they can be is an ordinary Daluo Jinxian, which cannot affect the sect leaders. If Ping An can control the way of heaven, he may have more opportunities. ’

‘No, let me try for him. ’

'Don't die just because you try... This child is in such trouble now, and I can't just stand by and watch. ’

Then golden light flashed.

Li Pingan was keenly aware that something was wrong with his father's thoughts, but before he could say anything, the illusion in his eyes was filled with golden light.

Ahead, the colorful glow that Li Pingan was familiar with appeared again.

And as Li Ping'an's spiritual sense penetrated into the colorful rays of light, he discovered two 'father's figures'. He couldn't help but open his mouth, and his expression became a bit stagnant.

A few scenes appeared in the illusion ahead.

The fake 'Li Dazhi' sat on the futon with a bald head, frowning and looking to the left;

On the left, Zhen Li Dazhi is wearing a wig, with a straight belly, holding a teaching ruler in his hand, with a blackboard behind him, and is saying something seriously.

Li Ping'an listened carefully. What his father said was...

"Comrade Tiandao, what you just said is extremely wrong. Although there are immortal arts and great ways in the ancient world, they are also a part of the natural ecology here. The essence of the matter has not changed, and the essence of the problem is also very clear.

"What is the essence of the problem? This is a good question. The essence of the problem lies in the mutual influence between man and nature.

"You say that you consider everything for the sake of heaven and earth, but you are born from the way of thinking of living beings. Your extremely natural thinking is a left-leaning thought.

“You don’t grasp your mission correctly.

"What is your mission? It is to maintain the harmonious relationship between man and nature, not to simply protect one and harm the other.

"Here, I solemnly recommend to you my son, Comrade Li Ping'an. This little Comrade has a very pure mind and a clear ideological understanding of himself...Hey, did you listen carefully?"

The fake 'Li Dazhi' nodded and said warmly: "Fellow Taoist, I am you..."

"Comrade Tiandao, don't say such self-deceiving words, you must objectively understand your current predicament.

"Come on, let me tell you why you want to start your next work around Li Pingan, rather than making Li Pingan a part of you.

"You should be in a state of disorderly expansion now.

"You are in a very dangerous situation!

“The larger the team, the more we must pay close attention to political and ideological work, and we must have clear ideological guidance.

"The future of disorderly expansion is a foreseeable end, and it will also bring this world to a state of eternal destruction."

Li Ping'an:...

He raised his hand and slapped himself.

Damn it...

His dad was giving a lecture on the Way of Heaven.
