Chapter 233: Born to a Master
A middle-aged man by the pond who resembled her father caught Firin's attention, dressed in simple clothes but with wise eyes, looking less like a tourist and more like a common man who had settled here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info big hidden in the city, small hidden in the mountains, can it be said that you have met a master who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests here?
The pond is not big, there are about nearly ten acres, the lotus leaves of a pond cover most of the water surface, the lotus is jade, and occasionally a few lotus flowers that have not fallen are really a little red in the green bushes. The breeze blows, the blue waves ripple, a good ink painting.
There are not many tourists, occasionally the villagers hold the lotus canopy that they have just stepped on, and a few lotus leaves along the way, and their simple and kind faces are filled with peaceful brilliance.
The second aunt held the arm of the second uncle, walking slowly, nature can indeed heal the pain, in such a quiet environment, the breeze wafting through the fragrance of the lotus canopy, let people forget all kinds of disputes and troubles in the world, and the good time spent with the loving family will be the greatest wealth in this life, no matter when you think of it is comfort.
Zhao Bin went over to talk to the man: "Uncle, please ask if there is a boat here, we want to step on some lotus canopies, I don't know if it's convenient." ?
The man was neither sad nor happy, and said unhurriedly: "Yes, a person goes out for ten yuan an hour." ”
"Is it okay to pick the lotus canopy?" or how to charge?" said Philine, who had learned to calculate.
"As long as you don't step on the lotus pod too much, you won't be charged for your own use. The man was breezy and light-hearted, and he wasn't talking about business, it seemed that it was just something that didn't matter anymore.
Filyn wondered how he knew so well. Could it be that he is the owner of this pond?
"Is there a standard?" said Firin, who was going to ask the question, as she wanted to know more about the person than what was in front of her.
"About ten sticks per person, like the four of you rent a boat to go out, an hour is forty yuan, you can step on about forty lotus canopies for free, of course, it doesn't matter if there are a little more, as long as it's not too much. ”
The man's face is always the kind of Zen-like expression, there is no sadness or joy, there is no trace of fireworks in the world, and it has the effect of calming people's minds.
Of course, the man can also see that this family of four is naturally not a local person, the two older ones seem to be husband and wife, and the younger ones don't know if they are two younger brothers and sisters, the boys are heroic and heroic, and the girls are soft and resolute, and they are not ordinary people.
Zhao Bin was very polite: "You know so much about this matter, it seems that this pond has a lot to do with you." ”
The man smiled: "This pond was originally mine." ”
When Filine heard this, she was expected and unexpected: "But looking at your temperament, you don't look like a person who has lived in the countryside for a long time." ”
"Oh!" the man glanced at Firin, with a playful look in his eyes.
"What's the relationship between the two of you?" the man looked at Fei Lin and Zhao Bin.
"He's my cousin, that's my aunt and uncle, and it's his parents. Filine didn't dare to be naughty, and answered honestly. To be honest, she was full of curiosity and respect for the man in front of her.
"I've only been back for two years, and I've been wandering around before, and after a long time, I feel bored, so it's better to come back. "The man seemed to be talking about something very far away, as if it had nothing to do with him, and he was just a bystander.
"What did you do before, why did you remember to come back to live in the countryside? Seeing that you are still a long time away from retirement age, my father is about the same age as you, and he still works from 9 to 5 every day. "Firin's curiosity is not ordinary.
The man said lightly: "I have been doing engineering since I was in my twenties, until I was fifty years old, the business has ups and downs, the more money I make, the more empty my heart is, I don't know the meaning of life, is it just to earn money and spend money, spend all day long on entertainment, deceive me in business, and trap embankments everywhere?" I don't know if I understand, then the child can be self-reliant when he is older, I am also tired of the life in the business field, fortunately all the equipment assets are transferred and realized, back to where I was born, at the beginning of the sudden idle is not very adaptable, idle to go around, turn here to see this pond, fishing and stepping on lotus, watching tadpoles become frogs from a young age, your heart will be moved by the fullness of life, this kind of moving will be every day, and then I found the relevant single door contracted, sprinkled with fish fry and then effective management here, pay attention to the protection of water quality and the environment, you look over there, along the front of the man's fingers, people who sit quietly on the shore to fish in twos and threes, leisurely. I don't need much to live on now, and the money I earn from managing this pond is enough for me and my wife to support our own adoptive parents. Raise some chickens, ducks and geese in the spring on the grass, raise fish and shrimp in the water, the children are older, even if I have completed my responsibility to my children, now I can guard my parents every day, the air here is fresh, the food is green, and the life is comfortable, isn't this the life that people ask for and can't ask for?
Filine wondered why these words were a bit up-turned: "According to you, why are people still going into the city with their heads drilled?" Filine was dismissive.
The man looked at Fei Lin and thought it was funny, this girl had a small brain and pretended to think, and she knew how to think when she encountered something, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little more good about Fei Lin and said: " If you don't go out to see the outside world all your life, you don't know what the outside is like, you will always think about the colorful outside, and if you don't go out to experience a lot of things, you won't know how to think about what life is all about, even if you live in the countryside with peace of mind, it is muddy, and you can't open the wisdom in your heart. ”
Fei Lin seems to understand whether she understands or not, but she can probably understand what he means, thinking that this uncle's decades of life insights are not something that she, a child, can fully comprehend for a while.
Zhao Bin saw that Fei Lin was chatting with others very speculatively, and he didn't understand that Li Feilin's little head was loaded with something every day, big and small, as if there was no one she couldn't talk to.
"Uncle, let's rent a boat and go into the water to step on some lotus pods, you can see and arrange one. Zhao Bin was urging the man to arrange for them to go into the water as soon as possible, the time was not early, and he was afraid that his father would not be able to stand it after coming out for a long time.
The man stood up, untied a small boat, and asked Zhao Bin's family to board the boat. The second aunt looked at the boat, then at the second uncle, and said to her son: "You go to play with your sister, I will walk on the shore with your father, I am afraid that the moisture in the water is too heavy, and it will not be good for your father's health." Stay safe and come back early. ”
Fei Lin smiled and said to the man: "Now there are two fewer people, and your income will be less." ”
