When my son was a child, my mother-in-law brought me from the countryside for more than two years.
I remember once I just picked up the child from my mother-in-law after work, and she said with a mysterious smile that a person downstairs just now saw our family Mingming and looked at the child's head rarely, and said that it was a phoenix. As soon as I heard this, I glanced at the top of my son's head, and sure enough, it was shaped like a phoenix with wings outstretched.
But it's just a spin, who doesn't have it! There's something rare. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, my mother-in-law was dissatisfied: "You don't know that Mingming's uncle is also a phoenix spin on his head, and a fortune teller once said that he 'has a phoenix on his head, he must be a nobleman, and when he goes far away, people are more prosperous'." ”
After hearing this, I smiled and said, "Mom, your old grandson is also very blessed in this way!" The mother-in-law nodded solemnly.
Now that I think about it, the person who is thousands of miles away and the proudest person in my mother-in-law's life, his fate seems to be really a bit fantastical.
Mingming's eldest uncle is my husband's eldest brother, the first graduate student in their village in the late 90s, and the road to study has been quite difficult.
When he was admitted to the county high school, the people in the village said that this child was the material for studying, and he himself was full of ambition. But I didn't know until after the first exam in school that there were mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people. After three years of hard study, seeing that his friends received the admission letter from Tsinghua University, he was waiting to report to the Chinese department of an ordinary university in the south.
Time traveled, four years of college life passed unconsciously, ushering in the graduation season. At that time, college students were assigned by packages, and the eldest brother was assigned to teach in Wuxi according to his major, and he was quite happy to do so. Unexpectedly, his father-in-law, who had been honest all his life, suddenly inserted a bar, and he had a selfish attack, saying that his parents were there, not traveling, and could only move up and down in the factory where he worked in the Central Plains.
The factory is engaged in industrial manufacturing, and the eldest brother is in the same dormitory as the graduates of Harbin Institute of Technology, most of whom are arranged in management positions that can display their personal talents after internship in each branch. I don't know what it's like for a liberal arts student to live in the same world with a lot of science students.
Two years later, a thunderbolt sounded in the ears of his father-in-law, and the eldest brother quietly taught himself and was admitted to the Research Institute of China Normal University, and went to the leader with the admission notice. The leaders of the factory are naturally well aware of the righteousness, and they have the green light to enlarge their younger brothers all the way to further their studies. Only the father-in-law suffered from gains and losses, and was silent.
Coming to ECNU, the eldest brother cherished this hard-won opportunity very much, and worked harder to learn, his diligence, knowledge, and personality made the tutor appreciate him very much, and the friendship between teachers and students was very good after a few years. When he graduated, his mentor recommended him to work in a local department, and with his own resume and performance, he successfully squeezed into the civil service.
It's been two years, and it's so difficult for a foreigner to enter a big city and want to integrate in, seeing that he is thirty years old and still alone. When the eldest brother was worried, a colleague in his 50s in the same department took the initiative to protect the media, saying that there was a girl in his old friend's family, 25 years old, with a college degree, a docile personality, who did not care about outsiders, and her family lived in a new area that had just been developed, and the place where she worked was not far from their department. The eldest brother was grateful, and then socialized with the girl.
Half a year later, both parties were very satisfied, the girl made an appointment to meet her parents, and when the eldest brother arrived at home, he suddenly saw that the old colleague who protected the media was also there, and the eldest brother smiled and just wanted to say, "It's a coincidence that you are also there", and the girlfriend next to him was stunned on the spot with a cold "Dad" call. The old colleague just looked at him with a slight smile, and the eldest brother reacted in surprise that the future father-in-law turned out to be the old colleague himself. Later, the eldest brother returned to his hometown to tell us about his marriage, and everyone also sighed.
The days go round and round, passing in the busyness of getting married, raising children, going to work, and getting off work. Unconsciously the eldest brother is getting older, and he is almost forty years old, and the eldest brother's career is in a critical period of not moving forward. In the confusion and difficulty, the opportunity came, and the unit issued a target for going to Tibet for three years, promising to upgrade the post by one level after the task was completed. After registration, discussion, and screening, the unit decided to let the eldest brother go. Shortly thereafter, the eldest brother went to ** with the local Tibetan aid team.
In the three years of **, the eldest brother went to a lot of places, and we can occasionally see temples, humanities, geography and his dusty figure in his circle of friends, and then found that his WeChat name has also become Chilie Dunzhu.
Later, the mission of aiding Tibet was completed, and the eldest brother was promoted as he wished after he went back.

During the Chinese New Year, my husband and brothers went back to their hometown for a reunion, and during the conversation, I was surprised to find that the eldest brother's temples had gray hair. Rao is a rich and noble appearance in the eyes of her mother-in-law, and she can't stand the baptism of time.
It seems that even if the phoenix is spinning on the head, the opportunity and success must come from struggle, and the person is noble in front of him, and he suffers behind it. It seems to be an unbreakable truth.
