The old professor of the same department of the University of Technology and Ye Yuansong is Professor Song's old book friend, the two have known each other for decades, and the relationship has always been good, but in the first two years, the Song family gradually became rich, and the old professor's family is still as poor as ever, and the two families rarely get together together.

Chen Xin found the old professor and told him the situation in private, and the old professor smiled elegantly and said that he tried his best to comfort his old friend.

Chen Xin sensibly sent a set of newly published literary books to the old professor, as well as the latest magazines related to the old professor's profession that she brought back from abroad.

Although he is now old, he has very little time in class, and most of them take students and young scholars to do research, but living to learn is a famous saying that the old professor has always believed, and most of his spare time is given to fishing and reading.

"Old Song, I bought a new book here, come and read it?"

Receiving a call from an old friend who had not been in touch for a long time, Professor Song hesitated for half a second and then decisively agreed.

Instead of going to those elegant teahouses, the two asked a few old friends to go to the suburbs to find a mountain villa where they could fish, and planned to stay for two nights.

The villa is located at the foot of a famous mountain on the outskirts of the city. Although the mountain is not high and not steep, it is not precipitous, but because there was a patriarch in the past, it is respected as the ancestral court, and there are many monks who come to admire and practice. The Taoist temple on the mountain could not accommodate such believers, so the town below the mountain naturally did the business of staying overnight.

The one they are looking for is one of the more well-known mountain villas in the town, the owner is very good, and the architecture and decoration style of the villa reflect the Taoist quiet thoughts.

The old professor often came, and as soon as the boss saw that it was a few old men who loved books, he made the decision to leave a side room near the tea room for them. Even the tea room is equivalent to being covered by them, and other guests will be guided to other tea rooms to rest.

The youngest in the group is almost fifty, and the oldest one is Professor Meng Chuanmeng, who is seventy years old, but he looks like he is only seventy. Get up at 7 o'clock every morning, rub your hands and face in bed for 10 minutes, then wash up, start practicing Tai Chi in the yard at half past seven on time, eat breakfast at half past eight, and then start reading and writing until noon.

Professor Meng rarely came out with them, but Professor Meng's wife left a few years ago, and Professor Meng was alone at home, and the children were not at ease. Professor Meng's son and daughter-in-law also stayed, but the two of them were not interested in the reading club, so they went to climb the mountain after dinner early this morning.

Professor Song and several of their old friends met, first exchanged their life and study during this time, and then began to recommend books that they thought were good to their peers.

In the first two days, I will not come to taste books, but I will choose what I am interested in, and then I will start to taste and discuss books.

Professor Song has been having a terrible time these days, where is there any energy to read, and it has been more than half a day before he can calm down.

"Old Song, do you want to go fishing?" Their fishing is simply to stick the fishing rod there, and then chat, or take a book to make a pot of tea, leisurely and leisurely wait for the fish to take the bait by themselves.

Professor Song glanced at his old friend, nodded, randomly drew a fishing rod and a fish bucket provided by the boss, and followed his old friend to the river.

The owner set up fishing chairs by the river and boxes of bait for sale.

The second elder found a secluded place and hung the bait on the hook.

"Old Song, what's wrong with you lately?" The old professor didn't plan to make a roundabout, he had known Professor Song for so many years, and it didn't hurt to say something straightforward.

Professor Song leaned back on the fishing chair tiredly and told his old friend about the troubles in his family during this time. Anyway, this matter can't be contained, and it has already spread when his wife and son are making a big noise in the hospital, and his son and daughter-in-law left with their granddaughter, who can not know after a long time? There is no need to hide it.

"Old Song, you're not doing the right thing. ”

The old professor didn't criticize too much, just sighed: "Your daughter-in-law is a very pungent character, although she has not been respectful to you over the years, but it is also a rare filial piety." You two are used to being flattered. ”

In fact, Professor Song himself understands this in his heart, although Cheng Jie has a strong personality, she has always respected the two of them at home, and she has also taken good care of her husband Teacher Song. may also be because he is used to it, and when Cheng Jie married his son, his mother's family was not as good as his own, so his wife always looked down on his daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law in his heart. said that his wife couldn't look down on him, why didn't he think so in his heart, otherwise when his wife had that tendency, he should have spoken out to stop it. Now that it's gotten to this point, he's also at fault.

Admitting his mistakes was not as difficult as he imagined, on the contrary, after facing his heart, it was much easier.

"Old Song, don't you know, a few of us old people envy you. The son is filial and inherits his father's business, the daughter-in-law is smart and capable, respects the old and loves the young, and even your little granddaughter is a child of someone else's family, so successful, what are you not satisfied with?

Professor Song glanced at his old friend and muttered, "Who will change with you, your youngest son is still saying that it is best to be single, and what kind of single nobleman to be, I can't bear his advanced thinking." ”

The old friend laughed, and he didn't feel that Professor Song poked his heart at all: "Children have children's ways of living." I've been raising them for so many years, but I don't want to keep them until they get old. How he lives his life is borne by himself, I am just an ordinary old man, what do you like. ”

Professor Song stretched out his finger and tapped his old friend, snorted, and turned his head arrogantly to look at his fishing rod. It really happened that as soon as he passed, the float moved.

"Eh, eh, fish, fish hooked. ”

The two old men were busy with one copying the net, and the other was slipping the fish, and it took several minutes to catch the fish.

"Eh, good luck, this fish has to have more than a catty, and you can catch two more to make a pot of sauerkraut fish to eat. ”

Maybe it's because people are happy and even their luck has improved, and in the morning they caught seven or eight crucian carp the size of a palm, and two grass carp, one more than a catty, and the other also had seven or eight taels.

The two of them took it back and told the kitchen to make sauerkraut fish, and put it a little spicy to eat. The other dishes are all from the dishes that are available in the villa. I specially ordered the old bacon, fried with salted vegetables, and the dry and fragrant special wine.

Several old professors are good at drinking, but they will not be greedy for a cup, and each person can drink at most half a tael. Drinking some alcohol in moderation can also warm up the body and invigorate the blood. In addition, the medicinal wine brewed by the owner of the villa is a unique secret recipe, and it is not a regular customer who can't drink it.
