In his spare time, he likes to go downstairs and chat with Mr. Zhao who is lying on a chair. In this old man's speech, the length of time revealed the philosophy of life that made Zhang Tianyi endlessly memorable.

The words are very plain, but the truth is very deep.

In addition to enjoying the cool and sun, the old man's favorite thing to do is fishing. also likes to pull Zhang Tianyi to go, in the old man's own words. Zhang Tianyi had accompanied the old man to fish before, and the old man said that he had a concentration that was rare among young people. In many times of crisis, this trait can make people compelled to remain calm to solve problems.

Today, Zhang Tianyi was dragged by the old man to the Huaihe River next to Shunyi District to accompany him fishing. There are many privately run fishing parks here, and it is not easy to find a good place for wild fishing. However, the old man was obviously familiar with the road, and directed the taxi driver all the way to come straight.

Two people each have an ordinary hanging rod made of bamboo strips, and the bait is an earthworm specially caught from the woods. After cutting the earthworm into sections and threading it on the hook, the fishing begins.

It's just that Zhang Tianyi's goal of fishing here is to catch half of the old man. The fish is also strange, the same rod hook bait, the fish especially like to bite the old man's hook.

Looking at Zhang Tianyi's helpless and puzzled eyes, the old man, whose face was already engraved with traces of time, said with a smile: "This fishing is life." Only by enduring loneliness can we enjoy the joy of the last prosperous time. ”

Zhang Tianyi shook the fishing rod in his hand and said with a smile: "How can I, a helpless person who came out of the countryside, have time to enjoy loneliness." I wish I could go 24 hours a day without sleeping. ”

The old man lifted the hook, and a crucian carp the size of a palm was thrown on the shore. He continued: "It is good for young people to be energetic, but the body is the capital of the revolution. When you are tired of your body, your ambitions will be in vain. ”

Zhang Tianyi smiled and did not answer. He knew that what the old man said was right, but how many of the Beipiao in Yanjing City were not exchanging their bodies for their future? They all subconsciously feel that these are still far away from them, or that they have a fluke that can survive.

He also thinks that the word health is far away from him.

The old man, who had seen through the essence of life, did not look back, and said while wearing the fish hook in his hand: "Haven't you thought about finding a daughter-in-law in Yanjing City?"

"I thought about it when I dreamed. Zhang Tianyi pursed his lips and smiled: "The problem is whether I want to be useless, I don't have a household registration in Yanjing, and I don't have a house in Yanjing City." Whose mother-in-law will marry me off?"

Another fish bit Old Man Zhao's fish hook, and Zhang Tianyi, who watched it, was helpless and envious. There was no movement on his side for a long time, which made him unsettled, and he wanted to pull up the fishing rod for a while.

Old Man Zhao slowly took the fish off the hook and threw it into Zhang Tianyi's fish basket. said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I live for a hundred years, who can see tomorrow?"

Zhang Tianyi was silent again, the young man who came out of the mountain village for so many years and relied on himself step by step has never really had the idea of pie in the sky.

The old man muttered: "Seeing the beautiful scenery of Nanshan, you want to climb to the top of the mountain, that is not ambition. When you arrive at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, you see white bones everywhere, and you still want to climb, that is called ambition. ”

Ambition?

Zhang Tianyi's biggest ambition now is to gain a firm foothold here. Become a veritable North Drifter, instead of coming in a hurry and retreating in a rout.

If this is the process, there is a chance to take off the coats of a few bright and tender city girls. Of course, he couldn't ask for it.

Old Man Zhao turned his head for the first time and glanced at this man who came out of the ravine. The dream-chasing boy who stepped into Yanjing City for the first time when he went out was like seeing a former friend.

The results of fishing have not changed much, and the fish in the old man's fish basket are more than twice as many as Zhang Tianyi's. In order to repay Zhang Tianyi for being willing to accompany him, a boring old man, to fish for fun, he gave Zhang Tianyi all the fish he caught.

Zhang Tianyi is not hypocritical, and now he will not be hypocritical when it comes to food. If you take these fish back, they can also be used as a gift for Aunt Gu to invite him to dinner.

The men in the land of the Northeast are refreshing, gracious, and like to pay attention to a courtesy.

When he and Old Man Zhao returned to the courtyard outside the rental house, Aunt Gu was stir-frying in the kitchen.

Seeing this old and young, she ignored it.

Zhang Tianyi cheekily carried the fish basket into the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Aunt Gu, Grandpa Zhao and I caught some fish to replenish Xiao Yu's body." She's almost final, tired. ”

"You kid still have a little conscience. Aunt Gu turned her head and stretched out her hand to poke Zhang Tianyi, pointed to the room inside and whispered, "You help me see what's wrong with Xiao Yu's child, how do I think her state today is not right." You are peers and easy to communicate. ”

Zhang Tianyi nodded, smiling bitterly in his heart. He's twenty-two, and a seventeen-year-old girl can still be considered the same age? Almost, that's two generations apart.

He walked outside Gu Yu's door and secretly glanced at Gu Yu, who was studying on the desk. found that this girl was obviously absent-minded, not like she used to write and study hard. As an adult, it's certainly easy to see that there's something wrong with this.

Probably feeling the gaze behind him, Gu Yu turned his head and happened to see Zhang Tianyi's gaze. She subconsciously raised her head and smiled brightly at Zhang Tianyi. There is a pen turning action in his hand that is the same as when Zhang Tianyi thinks about things. This fancy move invented by Zhang Tianyi himself, if Gu Yu didn't learn it from him, then he doesn't believe it.

Zhang Tianyi walked behind Gu Yu and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Facing this Zhang Tianyi, who left a completely consistent word for the word hero in her still immature heart a few days ago, Gu Yu still looked a little shy.

In fact, she was not a girl who could look down on Zhang Tianyi and was born in Yanjing City at the beginning. Heaven has a sense of superiority in mentality, and it is not the girl's fault to look down on the hard-working people in the ravine. However, the ruthlessness of the previous knife on the neck opened the girl's heart at the beginning of love. At this age, I haven't learned to weigh the benefits and losses of those complex interests. For a strong and reliable hero, it is naturally full of good feelings.

In addition, Zhang Tianyi's appearance can be regarded as handy, and this impression will naturally change.
