Chapter Seventy-Seven: Stealing Fun
The old man is indeed an expert in fishing, although he is now injured and sitting in a wheelchair, and there is no way to demonstrate in person, but he is next to Chen Feng and An Ruohua, and casually points out a few words, and Chen Feng finds that he can really catch fish.
"Your bait is too big, so that the fish is not easy to take the bait, and even if it is hooked, it is easy to get off the hook, smaller, smaller, well, just make it the size of a soybean grain...... It's too small...... I'm talking about the kind of soybeans that have been blistered open...... Didn't you read the bait manual? This is the most basic common sense, okay?"
Chen Feng smiled, he read the manual, but he didn't read it very seriously, and the specific operation was naturally a little clumsy.
However, the old man is very patient now, he pointed out Chen Feng little by little, and taught very seriously.
After a while, Chen Feng successfully caught a grass carp of about three catties.
"Well, this fish is good, although it has a little more spines on its body, but it tastes good, and its nutritional value is also high, it is a good food!" said the old man with a relieved face.
After catching a fish, Chen Feng's confidence increased greatly, so he continued to fish, and the old man sat in a wheelchair, while instructing Chen Feng and An Ruohua to fish, while gossiping with them.
During the conversation, Chen Feng learned that the old man's name was Hu Qing, 64 years old this year, a local, and his family lived in Longtan Town, and he had his own house in both Dalongtan and Xiaolongtan.
Hu Qing was a soldier when he was young, and he seems to have made any contributions, but he didn't elaborate on these, just took it with his mouth, his wife died a few years ago, and he had no heirs, and he was the only one in the family.
After retiring and returning home, Hu Qing and a group of young people in the village set up a bricklayer class together, went to all over the country to find work, and earned some hard money.
However, after the death of his wife, Hu Qing had no thoughts in his heart, he donated most of his savings to the school in the village, and lived a light life by himself.
Therefore, when I was climbing the mountain two days ago, I couldn't help but complain after seeing An Ruohua neglecting to enjoy the beautiful scenery around her because she had been busy taking pictures.
In the old man's view, people should cherish everything in front of them, take pictures, take memories, reminiscences, these are all false, and it is a pity to delay real life for these virtual things.
Of course, the old man's point of view is not necessarily right, he is just used to measuring the whole world in his own way, which seems a little unreasonable.
However, after being rescued by Chen Feng and An Ruohua, Hu Qing's mentality changed a lot, at least he had a good attitude towards Chen Feng and An Ruohua.
In this way, under the guidance of Hu Qing, Chen Feng and An Ruohua finally returned with a full load today, and they caught five or six big fish, which was enough for them to eat for two or three days.
"Old man, come home with us today and drink fish soup, it is up to you to catch so many fish today. Chen Feng put away the fishing rod, looked at Hu Qing and smiled.
Hu Qing looked at Chen Feng and then at An Ruohua, who was standing on the side, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won't make trouble for you, I have to eat and drink medicine according to the doctor's instructions these days, and I have been recuperating at home here in Xiaolongtan Village for the past two days, and I will have the opportunity to meet in the future." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to the nurse next to him, and directly said goodbye to Chen Feng and An Ruohua.
"Uh...... This old man really said the same, just left, and there was no room for saving at all...... Chen Feng sighed.
An Ruohua also nodded: "Well, although Old Man Hu sometimes doesn't speak very well, he is still a good person, you see, he didn't directly say anything thank you when he came, but he guided us to fish, but he was so serious and unreserved......"
"Some people speak beautifully, but they always discount their work, and some people don't like to talk very much, but they are extremely serious in doing things, and Mr. Hu is the latter kind of person. Chen Feng looked at Hu Qingyuan's back and said.
……
As Chen Feng said, Hu Qing didn't say much kind words on his lips, but his actions showed everything.
Since teaching Chen Feng and An Ruohua to fish that day, the two sides have met several times in the next few days, and each time, Hu Qing is very happy to chat with them about family life, and occasionally send the nurses around him to send some fresh fruits and vegetables to Chen Feng and the others.
Although you can buy these things in the market in Dalongtan, Hu Qing said that the vegetables he grows have not been chemically modified or pesticides, and they are pure natural and pollution-free, which must be more delicious and healthier.
After resigning a few times, Chen Feng also accepted Hu Qing's kindness, however, he would sometimes do a good job of the fish he caught, and send a few to the old man, the doctor also said that eating fish is fine, and it is conducive to a quick recovery, of course, most of the fish for Hu Qing are steamed and boiled, relatively light, as for the braised ah, sweet and sour, these are left for himself and An Ruohua to eat.
An Ruohua didn't even notice that she was actually a little fat recently, but Chen Feng didn't care about it, he felt that it was better to be fat, so he couldn't see through it, and he was secretly happy.
A few days later, Chen Feng suddenly found that the person who came to deliver food to him was no longer the nurse before, but a young man about the same age as him.
"Hello, you are Chen Feng, I am Zhao Tan, I was a student sponsored by Uncle Hu back then, and I just rushed back to take care of his old man recently, thank you for your help!"
After speaking, Zhao Tan bowed deeply at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was a little surprised, he heard Hu Qing say that he had donated most of his property to the school in the village back then, but he didn't expect to meet a person who had been funded by him so soon.
This person is quite conscientious, and he actually came to take care of Hu Qing, and it seems that he is a good person who knows how to repay his kindness.
"You're welcome, it's just a gesture. Chen Feng took the vegetables in Zhao Tan's hand, and said with a smile: "Also, don't let your Uncle Hu send food to me every day in the future, we won't be able to finish eating." ”
Zhao Tan smiled and didn't say anything, but looking at the meaning, it is estimated that he will continue to send it in the future.
After delivering the food, Zhao Tan did not stay at Chen Feng's side for long, but quickly returned to Hu Qing's house.
Hu Qing's house is located at the entrance of the downstream village of Xiaolongtan Village, and the detached family is also a small courtyard, but this small courtyard is much simpler, with only three bungalows, and in addition to a large vegetable garden, there are only a few free-range chickens scurrying around.
Zhao Tan pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, looking at this extremely familiar place, his eyes were a little moist.
When he was a child, he was not only funded by Hu Qing's donation to go to school, but for a time he often lived here and was raised by Hu Qing and his wife like their own children.
Because when he was a child, his parents went out to work all the year round, and they didn't come home much for a year, and then they didn't know why they cut off contact with their hometown, and they didn't know where they went.
This kindness, Zhao Tan remembered it all in his heart.
So when he heard the news that Hu Qing broke his foot, he immediately chose to come back.
Before coming back, he also got in touch with several other people who had been sponsored by Uncle Hu, and as a result, most of those people found excuses and were unwilling to come back.
Zhao Tan can't influence other people's thoughts, he can only do his best to repay Hu Qing's kindness.
"Xiao Tan, are you back?" Hu Qing was sitting in a wheelchair at this time, staying in the middle of the room, looking out of the door in a daze, and when he saw Zhao Tan's figure appear, his face showed a look of relief.
"Well, uncle, I'm back, you're suffocating at home, I'll take you out for a walk!" Saying that, Zhao Tan began to prepare to push Hu Qing out for a walk.
Hu Qing nodded, looked at Zhao Tan's figure carefully preparing things for himself, and then sighed softly.
"Xiao Tan, it's okay for you to come back and accompany me for two days, it's better to go back to the city to work as soon as possible, your own future is more important, I'm an old man, it's enough to have a nurse take care of me." ”
Hearing Hu Qing's words, Zhao Tan thought for a while and said: "It's okay, uncle, I quit my job before I came back, I will accompany you to heal the injury first, and then I will talk about it, it will take a hundred days to hurt my muscles and bones, such a long time, no matter how professional the nurse is, I am not at ease." ”
"You!" Hearing what Zhao Tan said, Hu Qing was a little annoyed: "How can you be like this? My old bones are nothing, how can you quit your job in order to take care of me? You are really reckless!"
Seeing Hu Qing's angry appearance, Zhao Tan hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you listen to my explanation first...... My previous job was to do marketing, network marketing, and the content was also partial to the media, and I worked for a few years, although I made some money, but there was no bigger way out in the end, because I don't have any real content in my hands now, and all my efforts have made wedding dresses for others. ”
Hu Qing listened to Zhao Tan's words quietly, although he couldn't understand some things when he was older, he could still understand the general meaning.
Zhao Tan's current situation is that he has channels, connections, and helps others to promote, but he has never had his own content copyright, he has done a lot of successful promotion and marketing cases, but the final profit sharing is divided by the copyright owner of the content and the channel party, and he only gets the least marketing fee and intermediary fee, so that he can earn a little money to make a living, but it is difficult to make a lot of money and turn over.
Therefore, he is now thinking about how he can grasp more initiative and grasp all the content and channels in his hands!
Of course, this is not a simple process, he needs to plan and think well, and he also needs to conduct a lot of investigations and experiments, so he resolutely resigned, on the one hand, to come back to take care of Hu Qing, and on the other hand, to plan for his future.
After listening to Zhao Tan's explanation, Hu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Okay, as long as you know it in your own heart, Uncle is old, he doesn't understand many things, and he can't help you, you have to work hard!"
Zhao Tan nodded seriously: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't let you down!"
