People say that Lao Geng is a lucky man!

No matter where he is, he is happy every day, and he will take the initiative to say hello to anyone he meets.

Everyone who looks at him thinks he should be festive.

"Lao Zhang went out for a walk?"

"Lao Li went out to buy vegetables?"

"Comrade Lao Huang is going to pick up the child?"

……

Only his wife said disappreciatively, "He is just happy every day." Whether it was in the past or now, there are actually a lot of headaches in the family, but who makes the family how happy he can be?"

Lao Geng was born in a working-class family in Haishi at the end of the 50s, and he was still the eldest in the family, with five or six younger brothers and sisters.

When others talk about the things of the year, they are helpless and melancholy, but when he talks about it, it is all kinds of fun and beauty.

When Lao Geng was fifteen or sixteen years old, because he knew that he could not escape the fate of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, he took the initiative at the beginning, and chose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

"The traffic in that small village is very inconvenient, it is located in the deep mountains and old forests, there is only one winding road that can lead to the outside world, not to mention how far away from the city, it is more than a hundred miles away from the county seat, and there are more than ten miles and eighteen bends of the mountain road from the nearest town.

No one wants to go, so it's best to let me, a good-natured person, go there.

But it is precisely because the people in it are very simple and have no ideas. ”

Lao Geng recalled with a happy face.

"That's because they're simple? That's because they're uneducated! They want to have more ideas, is it possible?"

Zhao Hong said with some disapproval.

"Huh...... The people there are basically illiterate, and there seems to be nothing to think about except for labor every day.

But because of this, I barely went hungry in five years there!

Everywhere else is thinking about this and that, and everyone there is thinking about the same question.

That is, how to eat a little more and better, and not let your stomach go hungry is the most real good thing.

The variety of food crops is limited, so make up for it with others.

Wild vegetables, mushrooms, insects, hares, voles, snakes...... As long as you can eat it, everyone will find a way to find it together.

My peers in the village are also good to me, not only did they not bully me much, but even your aunt was also found by me!"

"Oh, you are a revolution, a friendship, a love, a career, that can't be pulled down!

Zhao Hong took advantage of the trend to praise and encourage this elderly friend who is happy every day, because he did not have this experience, but of course he was very curious about the things of that era, and it was really good to listen to the old man chatting!

What's more, there is also his very optimistic attitude towards life, even Zhao Hong felt that life seemed to be good in that era after hearing it!

"Listen to what he said! How can it be so beautiful? The grain crops are low-yielding, and there is never enough to eat!

And a lot of it is coarse grains. Just like that sorghum, it's bright red but beautiful, but it doesn't taste so good.

The most terrible thing is that there is no oil and water!

Regardless of gender, age or age, everyone is a standard "pot-bellied man"!

Not to mention adults or older children, who are not full of a big bowl of dishes at each meal, or three or four steamed buns, can basically not be hungry.

If you have the opportunity to eat a free meal, who can't eat a dozen steamed buns, if nothing else?

Old Geng, what was your highest record that year?"

As for wild vegetables, mushrooms, insects, hares, voles, snakes...... , that's all legendary delicacy!

It's been eaten up a long time ago, so how can it be the turn of us outsiders?"

On the side, an old Geng's friend said with some disapproval, recalling his youth by the way.

"That's because you don't have charm! I don't know how happy Lao Geng was back then!

Hehe...... , Lao Geng is protected by a little peach sister!

Whoever doesn't have something to eat, Lao Geng won't be short of good food. ”

An old aunt who knew Lao Geng at a glance laughed and teased Lao Geng.

"Oh, Lao Geng, tell me what the situation was back then, the story of Little Peach's sister, haha......"

Zhao Hong also asked curiously.

"Huh...... , nothing, no story. ”

Lao Geng suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and some didn't want to say more.

"Huh...... , I'm still a little shy when I'm old, as for it?

Just tell everyone about it!"

"That's it, let's talk about it! I knew the legend of Lao Geng's happiness before, but I really don't know the specifics!"

"Let's talk about it!"

……

The people around are a little curious, after all, although that era has passed, the various experiences of that era that are different from the present have made many people curious, and it is even rarer to be able to live a nourishing life like Lao Geng.

"Huh...... , in fact, nothing. It was when I was in the village that I was with the child's mother, and Little Peach's brothers were a little more, and they were all very capable, and they could find good food, and of course I had a little bit by the way. ”

Lao Geng said lightly, things don't seem to be strange.

"Hey, when I went to the countryside, who didn't think that if I had the opportunity, I would have to go back to the city! Most people don't dare to fall in love, let alone start a family, Lao Geng is the first one there, and he hasn't been in the countryside for a long time, right?"

An old man asked with some understanding.

"I didn't think about it so much! I just liked Little Peaches at that time, she fell in love with me, and I liked her very much, and no one in the family objected, so of course we got together. ”

Lao Geng honestly explained that the appearance of smiling seems to be normal to go with the flow.

"Then how did you go back to the city after that? Didn't you say that you won't be allowed to come back if you get married and have children?"

Zhao Hong asked with some curiosity, although the old Geng in front of him had already explained that he must have returned to the city, but how did he solve it at that time?

"Huh...... It hasn't been many years since we came back, it's all the children who are fighting, they are all admitted back to the university here in Haishi, and they all stay here after graduation, and our husband and wife are here to help bring our grandchildren. ”

Lao Geng then explained.

"Old Geng is humble! You've been back for some years, haven't you? at least ten years.

I remember you first came back to open a small restaurant, right? You must have been the first wave of people in our area to get rich, right?"

"Huh...... , not to, not to. ”

"I remember when you bought a house in the suburbs, how is it now?"

"Huh...... , demolished ...... years ago"

……

With an optimistic person, Zhao Hong feels that he also feels that life seems to be a little better, no matter when, it seems that it can be better, as long as he can be optimistic in life, it seems that there will be a better future no matter what!

"Well, it seems that my mood is much better. I still have to have more contact with positive people!"

Zhao Hong smiled and muttered to himself. 2k reading web
