Twilight business warm and cool

Suddenly there was a scent in the air, it was the smell of iron sand being fried in a red iron pan, mixed with a faint fragrance.

Wen Liang also smelled it, she sniffed hard and said, "Mu Shang, you remember, this is the smell of roasted chestnuts."

Mu Shang said, "Why should I remember this?"

Wen Liang said: "If you remember it, you remember me."

Mu Shang: "..."

......

"Yo, Boss Wang, the stall is out." Wen Liang said.

"Boss Wang Chestnut" is the only one in the city that sells chestnuts. Every autumn, during the temple fair, they come here to sell chestnuts once a year. It has been like this for many years.

Because the banner above the booth read: "Boss Wang Chestnuts", everyone called him Boss Wang. In fact, only Wen Liang and a few people knew that the boss's surname was not Wang, but his wife's surname. I forgot.

Boss Wang is not from Jiaoshan, but “married” here. He passed by Jiaoshan, and met his wife at the temple fair. The two fell in love at first sight and married at second sight. Settled here.

His wife likes to eat chestnuts. Boss Wang also went out to learn from those masters who can fry chestnuts. After learning, he came back and fried them for his wife. At that time, every autumn, when passing by his house, he could smell the aroma of fried chestnuts. .

Everyone swallowed, and could only imagine what the fried chestnuts taste like, shook their heads and left.Because the couple were very stingy at that time, and Boss Wang was very generous in everything he did, but the fried chestnuts would never give alms to others.

Since it is said to be "at that time", it means that it is in the past.

Everything in this world is in the past. Time passes when you open your eyes and close your eyes. The flowers and trees also pass when they fall and unfold. Everything is moving forward. What stops and cannot move forward becomes the past.

In the torrent of time, some people are forgotten, some things are buried, and some, stubbornly stay in place, there is nothingness before and after, and the moment you are in is eternity.

Wen Liang was still young at that time, and was taken by his master to other people's homes.Because there is no economic development, Jiaoshan is poor and backward, and there are really no good and cheap monks, so she and her master, a Taoist priest and a Taoist nun, were invited to recite the scriptures, and they recited "The Curse of Rebirth".

There was one big and one small in the coffin, the little one was just born, and was hugged in the big chest in a soft mass. The mother and child looked peaceful and went very peacefully.

When it was time to leave the burial, she saw Boss Wang standing beside the coffin, quietly closing the coffin, watching his wife and children wholeheartedly until the coffin was closed inch by inch.

She was still young at that time, standing there with her hands on the master's legs, watching everything quietly. She hadn't learned the word "all thoughts are lost", but she also knew what death and sorrow were.

Perhaps the greatest sorrow of a person is to be taken away from hope.

Although ignorant, Boss Wang's eyes on his wife and children in the coffin are still fresh in Wen Liang's memory.

After that year, at the temple fair in autumn every year, Boss Wang would sell his fried chestnuts here because of what his wife said. At the temple fair for the first time, she said: "Today is very good. I can meet you. The only bad thing is that no one sells fried chestnuts.”

Maybe she had forgotten the words, but it didn't matter.

What she doesn't remember, he remembers.
