In the original work of "The World of Man", Zhou Bingkun's brother Zhou Bingyi said the following words to his younger brothers and sisters before he died:
"Bingkun, Zhou Rong, our father and our mother's three children, the greatest luck in this life is that they are all married to good women and good men, which is second only to the grace of parents..."
After listening to his brother's words and looking at his wife Zheng Juan next to him, Zhou Bingkun felt that his brother was worthy of being a leading cadre, and he summed it up too well.
For marriage, Zhou Bingkun is satisfied. Although the love road is bumpy, he always feels that being able to marry Zheng Juan is the greatest luck in his life.
Looking at his virtuous, kind, gentle and beautiful wife, Zhou Bingkun often wondered, who fulfilled his happy marriage?
Is the water artesian flowing? Or Zheng Juan's kind mother like a bodhisattva?
Before Shui Ziliu died, when Zhou Bingkun went to see him in the hospital, he said to Zhou Bingkun:
"Actually, you and Zheng Juan should thank me, if I hadn't insisted on such a practice, you two..."
The words that Shui Ziliu did not continue to say were to let Zhou Bingkun know that if it were not for him, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan would not be husband and wife.
For the water flowing, Zhou Bingkun, who was thick and honest, felt that there was some truth, if it were not for his insistence and even forcing Luo Shibin to find himself to send money to Zheng Juan, he would not have the opportunity to meet Zheng Juan at all.
But Zhou Bingkun's brother-in-law Cai Xiaoguang said to Zheng Juan:
"Younger sister, according to Guangming, your mother is a wonderful person. Her kindness is not a moment, a thing, a day, a year, without her there would be no you, no bright appearance, and no fate between you and Bingkun."
Cai Xiaoguang's words reminded Zhou Bingkun of Zheng Juan's mother, the compassionate old man who had been in the middle of everything all his life, but always had a peach in his heart. It was she, with kindness and wisdom, who fulfilled her marriage to Zheng Juan.
Cai Xiaoguang, who is wise and well-lived, uses a heartfelt word to make Zhou Bingkun instantly understand that Zheng Mu, who is like a bodhisattva, is the "red bride" of his happy marriage.
01. Bodhisattva-like Mother Zheng
Whether in the TV series or in the original work, Zheng Mu did not have her own name, Zheng Juan called her "my mother", and Zhou Bingkun called him "old woman" or "big lady". Although she promoted her daughter's marriage, she did not see the day when she and Zhou Bingkun were married.
Zheng's mother has no husband, and her daughter Zheng Juan and son Guangming are the children she picked up. When she retrieved her son Guangming, Zheng Juan was already a teenager.
At that time, Zheng Juan did not know that she had also been picked up by her mother, she only knew that her father had died of illness.
The son that Mother Zheng picked up was a blind man, and when she carried the little blind man home, Zheng Juan asked her doubtfully:
"This little brother is obviously a little blind man, so why do you want to pick him up and bring him home?"
Hearing her daughter say this, Mother Zheng quickly stopped her:
"Don't say pick it up, no matter what valuable or worthless things can be picked up, but people can't pick up ... This little brother was given to us by God, and maybe he himself is God, pretending to be blind..."
In order to pick up the child, Zheng's mother never married, she deceived Zheng Juan that her father was a cotton player, and sometimes said that he was a candy seller.
Since the little blind brother was picked up and brought home, Zheng Juan has witnessed her mother's difficulties. She had to sell popsicles to support her family, and she had to pull her blind son with a handful of and a handful of urine, and the burden of life was like a mountain on her.
Sometimes she is really tired, and Mother Zheng will complain to herself:
"You little blind man, you worry me too much"!
But most of the time, she was very gentle and loving to her little blind son.
In order to reduce her burden, Zheng Juan took the initiative to become the little mother of the blind brother.
Later, The overworked Mother Zheng fell seriously ill, because she had no money for medical treatment, so she had to lie at home resigned to fate and stand up. One night, thinking she couldn't get through it, she called Zheng Juan to her and took her hand and told her that she had also picked it up herself.
Looking at her dying mother, Zheng Juan hugged the little blind brother and cried:
"No, it's not! I am God's gift to you"!
Mother Zheng looked at the sisters and brothers who were crying together, and did not shed a single tear. She only asked Zheng Juan to assure her that if she left, no matter how poor she was, she would not be allowed to abandon her brother, and she would definitely rely on him for her life.
Later, maybe it was the blessing of the gods in the darkness, or maybe it was Mother Zheng's kindness that touched The Heavens, and she survived the serious illness.
After recovering from the illness, Mother Zheng was very remorseful, and she was afraid that after Zheng Juan knew her origin, the mother-daughter relationship between the two would end from then on.
But Mother Zheng underestimated herself, and also underestimated Zheng Juan, so many years, her compassion and kindness have already subtly transformed Zheng Juan. Zheng Juan not only did not leave her, but loved her more and loved her brother even more.
In Zheng Juan's eyes, Zheng Mu is the embodiment of the gods, otherwise why would she be so poor and kind-hearted?
Zheng Juan felt that her mother was the bodhisattva Xia Fan, and she had come to this world to bless herself and her blind brother.
02. Put down a dignified kneeling and connect Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan together
Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan's fiancé Tu Zhiqiang, who was a former co-worker, was pregnant after Tu Zhiqiang was executed for murder.
In order to let Zheng Juan give birth to a child smoothly, Tu Zhiqiang's same-sex confidant Shui Ziliu and his friend Luo Shibin found Zhou Bingkun and asked him to look at the face of Tu Zhiqiang who was a co-worker, and helped them send money to Zheng Juan every month.
Zhou Bingkun is a righteous and compassionate person, although he is reluctant in his heart, but he finally agreed to it because of his affection.
However, Zhou Bingkun took over a hot potato, because the resentment towards Tu Zhiqiang was too deep, and Zheng Juan did not want to accept any help from his friends. When Zhou Bingkun first came to the door to deliver money, Zheng Juan did not leave him any face.
Looking at the envelope that Zhou Bingkun placed on the kang, Zheng Juan's danfeng eyes projected an awe-inspiring light, and she said aggressively:
"I don't need anyone to be pitiful! There are so many poor people in china, and I don't think I'm the most miserable. I hate them! If Tu Zhiqiang hadn't gotten along with them, he wouldn't have committed a capital crime, and our two days could have gone on together. Bring that money, don't stain my kang, you go! Let's go"!
Zhou Bingkun was stunned by Zheng Juan's fierce appearance, and the surprise when he first saw Zheng Juan quickly turned into shame and anger, and he grabbed the envelope containing the money and snatched the door away.
Looking at Zhou Bingkun, who wanted to ride away, Mother Zheng hurriedly called out to him:
"Child, you stand for a moment and listen to the eldest lady explain to you, my daughter she... They didn't get a license, my daughter wasn't even a formal widow... If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't leave me and her brother, she wouldn't have wanted to live at all. She's not yelling at you, she's angry at her own life."
Mother Zheng shed tears as she spoke, and at the same time held out a thin hand to Zhou Bingkun:
"Please, don't get angry... Leave that money to the eldest bride! I can't feed a family of three just by selling popsicles, and my daughter is still pregnant with a child..."
The old and thin Mother Zheng, for the sake of her daughter, bent her knees and knelt down towards Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Bingkun was overwhelmed by Mother Zheng's kneeling, and his heart was suddenly soft, so he quickly lifted Up Mother Zheng and gently told her that he was not angry, and then put the envelope containing the money in her hand.
Mother Zheng's kneeling with dignity not only made Zhou Bingkun forgive Zheng Juan for her collision with herself, but also made his heart strongly shaken - this family needed help too much!
Zhou Bingkun's sympathy instantly magnified infinitely, he no longer felt that the young widow with the moth's eyebrows and phoenix eyes was aggressive, and he even pitied the little widow Zheng Juan, whose beauty was not inferior to that of his sister.
Mother Zheng's kneeling dispelled Zhou Bingkun's just-born idea of no longer sending them money, in order not to let their family of three live a miserable life, he was willing to carry out his compassion to the end and continue to send money to them.
Zhou Bingkun felt that in doing so, he could kill two birds with one stone, not only helping Mother Zheng, but also having the opportunity to meet the little girl Zheng Juan, who was so beautiful that he dazzled him and made him never forget.
In order to survive in front of Zhou Bingkun, although Mother Zheng knelt in front of Zhou Bingkun, although it was undignified, her kneeling not only ensured that her children would not live too hard for the time being, but also connected Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan together.
Later, when Zhou Bingkun thought of Zheng Mu's kneeling, he felt that it was actually a kind of kindness to herself, without that kneeling, Zhou Bingkun not only couldn't see what kind of person he really was, but also didn't have the opportunity for him to communicate with Zheng Juan.
03. A psychological hint that makes Zhou Bingkun identify Zheng Juan
When Zhou Bingkun first saw Zheng Juan, he was amazed by her at a glance.
That day, Zheng Juan was sitting on the kang through the hawthorn, although she had not freshened up, wearing an old sweater with many open threads, but her downfall did not cover her style in the slightest.
Zheng Juan's unwashed face is as beautiful as Zhou Bingkun expected, and in real life, Zhou Bingkun has never encountered such a beauty.
Before Zheng Juan drove Zhou Bingkun away without angry eyes, looking at her who exuded the temptation of the opposite sex, Zhou Bingkun even had an impulse in his heart to pounce on her.
Although Zhou Bingkun was later reprimanded by Zheng Juan and driven out, Zheng Mu's kneeling touched him, and he not only forgave Zheng Juan, but also thought about her from then on.
Zhou Bingkun's chaosi twilight, Zheng Juan has long understood the spirit, after giving birth to her son Nannan, she helped Zhou Bingkun turn this chaosi twilight into practical action.
When Zhou Bingkun came to deliver money again, Zheng Juan used her body to promise him and repay his kindness of taking care of his family under pressure and gossip.
Holding Zheng Juan, who thinks day and night, Zhou Bingkun feels that she is the most suitable woman in the world, and he is willing to marry such a woman home, regardless of whether the family agrees or not.
However, Zheng Juan, whose heart was clean and clear, never hid it, almost scared away Zhou Bingkun because of his frank meeting.
When the two were deeply in love together, Zheng Juan not only told Zhou Bingkun and Pan about her own life, but also told him frankly about the matter between her and Tu Zhiqiang.
It turned out that Zheng Juan was not pregnant with Tu Zhiqiang's child. After getting along with Tu Zhiqiang, Zheng Juan gradually found that he was not interested in women, and what Tu Zhiqiang really liked was the self-flow of the buddies.
The abnormal love relationship between Tu Zhiqiang and Zheng Juan made Luo Shibin feel evil, seeing that Tu Zhiqiang's mind was not on Zheng Juan, after Tu Zhiqiang and Shui Ziliu were drunk, he took the opportunity to rape Zheng Juan and let him conceive a child.
Zheng Juan's frankness made Zhou Bingkun a little angry, and he thought that Zheng Juan did not need to put these things out of his mind.
Since then, Zhou Bingkun has been deeply troubled by emotions, and he feels that his relationship with Zheng Juan seems to have become like this:
He stood in a river, on the other side of the river was Zheng Juan, he went into the water for her, but did not dare to rush forward, because the water in front of him was too deep, and he did not know the nature of water, and every step was in danger of being roofless.
It is not a problem to go back, but it is not willing to go back, because Zheng Juan is on the other shore, and the other shore has a huge attraction to him.
Zhou Bingkun had always hoped that Zheng Juan would keep waving to him and give him the courage to move forward, but she did not. Zheng Juan does not seem to take the initiative to look at him in the river, let alone pull him through the water...
Just when Zhou Bingkun was painting the ground as a prison, neither willing to let go, nor knowing how to move forward, Zheng Mu gave a psychological hint and woke up the dreamer with one word.
One day, Zhou Bingkun met Zheng Mu, who was selling popsicles, on the street, and Zheng Mu saw that he had stopped selling and took his hand to show him a palmistry:
"Bingkun, your life is not good, it is a life of endless labor." The best fortune in your destiny is to marry my daughter, and if you marry her, you will still have some blessings in this life; if you do not marry her, then you will not have any blessings in this life. My daughter I know that her heart is cleaner than most women."
When Mother Zheng said these words to Zhou Bingkun, her expression was sincere and mysterious, as if saying this to him was a secret leak.
Listening to Mother Zheng's words, Zhou Bingkun, who was in emotional confusion, seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and he suddenly understood how valuable Zheng Juan's frank meeting was - a woman with a pure heart is the most worthwhile partner in this world!
Mother Zheng's words made Zhou Bingkun identify Zheng Juan from then on- if a man loves a woman, he must bear all her troubles.
Write at the end:
When Mother Zheng died, Zhou Bingkun had not yet officially married Zheng Juan. Although they have not yet become husband and wife for the time being, in Zhou Bingkun's heart, Zheng Juan is already his wife, and it is only a matter of time before he marries her.
Therefore, in front of the statue of Mother Zheng, Zhou Bingkun's knees were soft, and he involuntarily knelt down and prostrated his head three times.
Zhou Bingkun used his own kneeling and prostrating three heads to replace The kneeling of Mother Zheng for herself, and also expressed his respect for her.
In Zhou Bingkun's heart, Mother Zheng was indeed the embodiment of a bodhisattva, as Zheng Juan said.
She saw that Zheng Juan and Guangming, two children abandoned by their biological parents since childhood, were left unattended, so that they came to the world to shelter them and let them enjoy the warmth and care of motherhood.
Under her care, the little blind man Guangming eventually emerged into a Buddhist disciple with great love and loved by everyone.
Under her fulfillment, Zheng Juan finally found the other half of her love and formed a happy marriage in the world.
When Zhou Bingkun knelt down to worship Zheng's mother, he once again remembered the words that his brother-in-law Cai Xiaoguang said to Zheng Juan:
Your mother is incredible, she belongs to the level of a lifelong Buddha, without her, there would be no bright appearance, and there would be no fate of Bingkun and you as a loving couple.
Cai Xiaoguang's words made Zhou Bingkun feel grateful to Mother Zheng, who was not only a woman like a bodhisattva, but also a red bride who fulfilled his happy marriage to Zhou Bingkun!
