There is coal in Shanxi. For men, if there is coal, there is money. For women, if there is coal, it is dirty and soil.
It was a place where there were no green mountains and green waters, and even a single grass was hard to see. Everywhere was gray and yellow, and when the wind blew, the mouth was full of dirt. No matter how white the woman's skin was, it was covered with a layer of ash, and the man's face and chest were black, even the crevices of his fingernails were black.
It was probably because the place was so barren that Tao was so bright and dazzling.
She likes to wear brightly colored clothes and neatly tie a ponytail. The ponytail was tossing to and fro, as crisp as her words. To be honest, she is not very beautiful, but she never stingy smile, especially to Liang Zi and Jin Sheng.
They were born here and grew up here. Both Jin Sheng and Liang Zi knew that Tao was a hard-working child. His mother died early when he was young, and he lived with his father. Maybe everything is the arrangement of fate, she has a boy's name, and she really carries the whole family like a boy. During the day she was a teacher at the school, and at night she came back to help her father with a small shop. Life was difficult, and there was no time to spare, but no matter how hard or difficult the day was, it did not take away Tao's smile. That silver bell-like laughter was a placebo for Jin Sheng and Liang Zi, and it was also the motivation to pursue their dreams.
In their dreams, coincidentally, there is Tao.
Tao often said that her two friends are the second generals of Heng Ha, Jin Sheng is the smartest, Liang Zi is the kind and kind, there is nothing that can't be done if one comes up with an idea and the other works hard. Tao was right, nothing was impossible with the two of them around. Shanxi Shaohua, once they found a few pots in the yard of a certain family. They were blooming brightly. A few years later, Jinsheng finally became a local coal boss, and Liang Zi was a capable man under him. This time, Jin Sheng bought a car and came back, the red Santana, Liang Zi giggled, no matter how clever he was, he didn't know how to play it.
Tao's laughter broke the embarrassment: "Hey, can you drive this car? Can you drive this car?"
Jin Sheng put them aside: "Of course!"
After speaking, he took them to an open space to teach them Tao drives.
Tao had never held the steering wheel, and he panicked as soon as the car started. Seeing that it was heading for a big rock, the bumper of the brand-new car was knocked off. Tao came down and smiled and asked Jin Sheng, "How much do you have to pay?"
Jin Sheng looked at Liang Zi and immediately raised his slightly frowning brows. He smiled at Tao, "No, no."

Jin Sheng went to Liang Zi, who had just come from the mine Liang Zi came out with a black and gray face.
Like before, Liang Zi smiled: "What's the matter."
"Leave Tao!" The
smile froze on his face. From childhood to adulthood, Jin Sheng had never spoken to himself like this. Looking at his murderous eyes, Liang Zi knew , this is not a joke. Loving Tao has long been a tacit secret of the two of them. Whenever Tao has something to do, the two of them will definitely appear at the first time. They are good friends and competitors. Sometimes, Liang Zi was very afraid of losing friends. It would be nice if the three of them could be happy like this for a lifetime. But he knew that this was just an unrealistic fantasy. One day, he and Jin Sheng would have to face Tao.
However, he did not expect it to be so fast, so suddenly.
"Why?" Liang Zi asked.
"Hehe, what else do you need to say? What can you give her?"
Yes, Liang Zi is just a miner. Although he was taken care of a lot in Jinsheng's mine, a miner is a miner and earns a few coins all day long. Hard life money, life said no, no. Tao is like a bright and beautiful flower, with him, what can you get? But Liang Zi is a man anyway, and a man has the right to pursue women, including the pursuit of Tao. Is there no money, even love has to give way to others? Liang Zi is not angry, who allowed you to sentence me to death so early?
Among the three, Liang Zi was always the one who didn't speak much. Jin Shengman thought that Liang Zi would retreat in spite of difficulties, but he didn't expect that it was a very unpleasant conversation.
Liang Zi left, but not from Tao, but from his mine.
The brothers turned against each other.

Tao, who is unaware of everything, returns to his father's store after work as usual. At that time, Hong Kong and Taiwan songs became popular in the mainland. Jin Sheng once suggested that she buy a few stereos, which would definitely sell for a good price.
In the evening, Liang Zi and Jin Sheng came to the store almost on the forefoot.
A couple are shopping for speakers and want to try out the sound quality of the equipment. They took out a disc and inserted it into the device. After a brisk and gentle prelude, there was a woman's slightly rich but eloquent singing, which was really nice, but I couldn't understand a single sentence.
Tried the stereo, the couple took out the disc and left. Tao, however, was still immersed in the singing.
Jin Sheng didn't say anything and went out the door. After a while, I took back a disc, inserted it into the speaker, and the melodious song rang again. It turned out that the song was "Treasure" by Ye Qianwen.
Tao had already sensed the strange atmosphere, took out the dumplings and invited two people to eat, Jin Sheng stared hard at Liang Zi, Liang Zi looked at the dumplings, then looked at Tao, and left without saying a word.
How to choose is equally painful for Tao.
Sometimes she severely blamed herself for being too selfish in her heart and didn't want to lose any of them. I don't know when she started, she needed to work hard to restrain herself and face two people at the same time with a relatively fair attitude. Most of the local girls married early, and Tao dragged on for years. If they got married, of course, it would be with one of them, no doubt about it. But with whom? The balance in my heart is Jinsheng on one side and Liangzi on the other, dangling and never calm. She likes Jinsheng's cleverness and tactility, and he always has endless ideas when he is with him. They can sing and dance, and enjoy their youth to the fullest. She also likes Liang Zi's kindness and mellowness. When she is with him, even if she doesn't speak, she is so stable and reliable, as trustworthy and dependable as there is a big tree behind her.
She hadn't thought about the word "love" seriously. Perhaps, this was not a question that she could understand. But now, it seems that I have to make a choice, maybe whoever I am with will be happy, maybe, whoever I am with will regret it. But if you want to live a better life...

"I have chosen you, why do you still do this!"
Jin Sheng's eyes were bloodshot and his face was ashen. Holding a pack of explosives, he went straight to Liang Zi's house. Tao begged bitterly behind her, and that was the first time she cried in front of Jinsheng. She didn't understand why he chose Jin Sheng, but he still couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart. Has the brotherhood of so many years ceased to exist? In a trance, there was a moment when Tao felt a chill in his heart, did he love me, or did he want to win?
She knew that Jin Sheng had built his career with his unyielding vigour over the years. But when this energy is placed in a place other than career, how can it become so cruel and terrifying?
Jinsheng destroyed the explosives and agreed to send her wedding invitations to Liang Zi.
She knew it was a mockery and ridicule. She didn't expect that Jin Sheng's revenge would be so strong, and she must beat down her rival and then step on it hard. And she had to go, because this was probably the last chance to talk to Liang Zi. She didn't know how to say goodbye to Liang Zi. She knew that in this life, her fate with Liang Zi was over. Jin Sheng would never allow her to say a word to Liang Zi again.
Then, she heard Liang Zi's heartbroken voice.
Picking up a simple luggage, Liang Zi locked the door of the dilapidated room and walked away without looking back. Leaving Thao to stand still. He threw the key away, he didn't intend to come back. Thao searched for a long time to find the key and put it in his pocket.

Tao is pregnant and a new life is about to be born. Jinsheng's business has grown bigger and bigger, and he longs to have a son. Lying beside Tao, he said that he had already thought of the name, and it was called "Dao Le".
To music is the meaning of dollar.
Tao Xiao Jinsheng loved money the more he got rich, he just fell into the eyes of money. He is very pitiful for Jin Sheng, a man who has worked hard all his life to make money, isn't it for the family and the children? Generation after generation, everyone has come this way. It has been almost a year of marriage, and Tao has transformed from the youthful and energetic girl of the past into a wife, and is about to become a mother. Instead, he has a little sympathy and understanding for Jin Sheng's cunning and love of money. If the family can be happy under his protection like this, it will not be a waste of life.
After his son was born, Jinsheng's business began to spread all over the country, and his time at home became less and less. Even at home, his eyes seldom stayed on Tao, only occasionally making trouble with the child. Tao understands that when a man is too rich, many things are not up to him, and if they change, they will change.
Divorce was something she had never thought of, and perhaps even Jinsheng had never thought of it.
When they first got married, Jin Sheng bought Tao a golden retriever. Tao asked the dog seller, "How long can it live?" The
dog seller told her, "Twelve years."
Jin Sheng took his son and career with him. Went to Shanghai and left Tao with a local gas station and the dog. Tao returned to the days when he and his father depended on each other. Sometimes when Tao was driving on the road, an idea suddenly popped up: In fact, the days have not changed at all.
The news of Liang Zi's return was told to Tao by Liang Zi's wife.
That night, Liang Zi's wife found her and knelt down when she entered the door, begging her to save her man. Liang Zi has been working as a miner outside these years, and his lungs can't stand it any longer after years of hard work. Looking at this woman with similar eyebrows and eyes, all the memories are tumbling in her stomach. It turned out that the days have already changed, we have been so far away from the past, so far away that we can't see each other.
At night, Tao tossed and turned in the room alone. She got up and went to open the cabinet. She took out a small wooden box. Inside was a keychain woven in the shape of a goldfish with a key on it. It was thrown away by Liang Zili back then. If she didn't marry Jin Sheng and Liang Zi didn't leave that year, would he have a terminal illness?
Tao lay on the quilt uncontrollably and cried.
The next day, Tao sat in front of Liang Zi's bed. He was thin and haggard, his once broad chest now coughed into a crumpled sheet of paper, curled up on the bed. Thao took out a stack of banknotes from his bag.
Liang Zi said, "Is it convenient?"
Tao nodded, his heart hurting like a knife cut. At this time, he asked others if it was inconvenient.
When I meet an old friend again, things are right and wrong, and there is nothing to say. At the end, Tao took out the goldfish keychain, put it in Liang Zi's hand, and turned to leave.
This parting is forever.
6My
father took the train to attend an old friend's party, and he suffered a heart attack as soon as he got off the train.
Tao drove to a hospital in another city overnight, only to find the doctor shaking his head helplessly.
A father's funeral should be attended by his son. It was the first time Tao contacted Jin Sheng after a long divorce and asked him to send his son back for the funeral.
At the airport, I saw my son wearing colorful bows and coquettishly calling another woman "Mummy" on the computer. Anger rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. She knew that grandfather was just a title for the child. After years of separation, the two had no feelings at all, but at the funeral, she insisted that her son cry. It seems that only in this way can it be proved that this was the child she gave birth to.
Once she put the earphones into her son's ears, and inside was Ye Qianwen's "Precious". Once a man put this song in her palm, now his son is ignorant when he listens to this song. She wanted to tell her son: Do you know? Your father used this song to move your mother back then. But she knew that her son wouldn't understand, so what? She and they are already two worlds.
For the last meal, Tao made dumplings, and specially wrapped one in the shape of a wheat ear. She said to her son, "Eat this and you will grow taller and taller."
Before leaving, she hung a key at home on the On the son's neck, "the door of the house is always open for you. Whenever you miss your mother, come back and have a look."
Since her son left, Tao's life has become a kind of waiting. Every Spring Festival, she will pack a wheat ear Dumplings, this package is more than ten years old.
The golden retriever died when he was 18, and Tao bought an identical little golden retriever.
More and more white hair, eyes gradually blurred, Tao, old.

At this moment in Australia, Jin Sheng, who has white temples, is cleaning those guns that have been cleaned for more than ten years at home. In that year, China's anti-corruption campaign caused his career to be lost, his beautiful wife to be lost, and he fled abroad with his children. The anti-corruption efforts in China that he hoped for day and night will eventually come to an end and have not become a reality.
What made him even more painful was that Dale had almost completely forgotten Chinese. When he was a few years old, he would still call his parents, eat and sleep, but now he does not understand it at all. Father and son, they hardly had a complete communication, he didn't understand him, and he didn't understand him either.
He forced Le to learn Chinese.
In a class, the Chinese teacher plays a song. Duo Le, who was bored with the Chinese class, was attracted by the singing for the first time. This song seemed familiar, must have heard it somewhere, but where? Can't remember how. The Chinese teacher told him that the song was called "Respect", an old song by Ye Qianwen.
It was a strange feeling, and Dale began to observe the Chinese teacher carefully. She is over 40 years old, and when she smiles, the crow's feet are already deep, and the collagen on her face has disappeared. She should have been beautiful and full when she was young. But now, she is like a flower in the rain, but when the flower in the rain is about to wither, standing against the background of this old song, she is so calm.
Suddenly there was an urge to lean on her and talk about the little ripples in her heart that she never remembered.
"What was your mother like?"
On the bed, the Chinese teacher stroked Le's tender shoulders and asked him softly.
"I don't remember, I just remember that her name is 'Tao', which means wave."
"What is this?"
To Le had a key hanging around his neck.
"This is my talisman."
Strange, who would use a key as a talisman? Dale wouldn't think much if he wasn't asked. Now looking at the key hanging on his chest, he is also amazed. When did this key hang on his neck? And after so many years, I never thought of taking it off. Where is the key?

The wind is blowing on the sea, the waves are undulating, and the water is beating again and again...
In China, we can describe such a scene with one word, which is called "tao".
