"You, it was your Uncle Zhu's idea to let you contract the fish pond with Chen Jin, and he dared to sell the house to contract the fish pond at a young age.

You have to learn from him this courage, you have never been in contact with anyone since you were a child, he happens to be a city person, you communicate with him more, people say that there are no nobles in three generations, you talk and behave like this, you will definitely be deceived when you go out! ”

The old man opened his mouth like a river, and Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment: "Dad, what did grandpa do when he was a child?" ”

The way my father spoke was not like a fisherman.

"Before the old man escaped the famine, he worked in the Capital Education Commission!" Lao Zhang snorted and said without any care.

"Huh? I...... Our ancestors are from the capital? Zhang Xi asked with some surprise.

"Yes or no. Ancestor, your grandfather is a SX person, and he works as an editor in the Education Commission.

Although he was a scholar, your grandfather was in a clear situation, and he decisively left the Education Commission before the war and fled to the southwest.

As a result, he was involved in the war when he walked to Ludi and served as a soldier for half a year.

Later, in a skirmish, he broke his knee and was saved by your grandmother, so he broke from the team.

And then there was me, who knew that in those years of great drought even the riverbed was exposed, and some gold and silver treasures were dug up,

But you can't eat or drink, no way, your grandfather continued to take the young me south, this time I heard that the southeast region was liberated,

Just bring me here and put down roots! ”

Zhang Xi was stunned when he heard it, but he didn't expect that his grandfather was an editor and a soldier, and his experience was almost able to make a movie.

He always thought that his ancestors had been fishermen for eight generations!

Although I don't understand what the education committee and editing are, it must be very remarkable.

"Dad, grandpa has such a high level, why don't you let you study?" Zhang Xi was a little puzzled.

Since his grandfather works in the capital, he must be a big man, and no matter how poor he is, he is also a scholar.

How did he come here to fish and be a fisherman, Zhang Xi couldn't figure it out.

"Silly boy, your grandfather is wise and martial, and he has long seen that there was no way out of reading in that era, and he had to learn a craft.

And fishing was the least needy skill to learn in those days, when your grandfather came here, a family surnamed Chen

Look at your poor grandfather, he gave a broken boat and a few rotten nets, and your grandfather raised me with these!

Besides, when I was thirteen years old, the movement that began to sweep the country began, and when I was twenty-three years old, the most glorious age of my whole life was wasted in that era, but fortunately I am a big old man, but it's a pity that your grandfather ......"

Speaking of this, Lao Zhang's heart brought up another sad past, but he didn't even dare to think about it.

"What about you, to be honest, I owe you a debt, if it wasn't for your grandfather making a rule on his deathbed, saying that our old Zhang family would never be allowed to study, I would have sent you out to study at that time.

But I'm afraid, I'm afraid that after you study, I will send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, anyway, fishing can be a lifetime without worrying about eating and drinking, I don't want you to have a chance, and it is better to live peacefully than anything else!

But I was wrong, and I couldn't be more wrong! ”

Lao Zhang lit another cigarette and didn't speak, just smoked slowly.

Halfway through the draw, he spoke: "I began to observe in my twenties, and the country has entered a strong situation since the resumption of the college entrance examination.

I have been watching for 10 years, and in the past 10 years, the country has been gradually proving that living conditions are improving, and the people are no longer hungry.

Every family has basically solved the problem of food and clothing, and many people have spare money to build a house, and it is no longer a cliché to eat and dress warmly.

Take our steep lake as an example, there are not a few people who have color TVs, and many people have VCDs, this is progress!

So I'm determined to get rid of this fishpond and let your younger siblings go to school, and your younger siblings are a little older.

The second brother is already twelve years old, but just study hard! It's not too late for first grade, it's just a loss to you......"

Zhang Xi was silent for a long time.

"Dad, I understand what you said, I don't know anything now, and I may not be able to integrate into this society when I go out.

Just like my grandfather who bravely retired from the rapids back then, you want me to have more contact with society and then live a stable life.

I think I know what to do! Zhang Xi finished quietly and threw away the cigarette butts!

Lao Zhang looked back at his son, threw away his cigarette, patted his buttocks, stood up and said, "You have grown up,

I'm just giving you an opinion on a lot of things, after all, you have no experience in this society, but if you really want to go out,

I won't stop you, my advice to you is to do things in a down-to-earth manner and be honest! ”

Zhang Xi waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "No, no, Dad, I'm still here, if Chen Jin is really as bold as you said,

Then I'll follow him, after all, he is from the city, and there are many roads, and I don't know anything when I go out now. ”

Lao Zhang smiled slightly, and said so much to his son, and his son agreed, according to common sense, he should be happy.

But Lao Zhang couldn't be happy. The more sensible the son, the more he blames himself.

If it wasn't for his father forcing him not to go to school, his son's life might have changed differently now!

Twenty-three years old is the age of the university entrance examination, and with the existence of my father, I guess I don't have to work hard!

After all, the examination papers were uniformly distributed by the capital that year, and my father was immersed in it for more than ten years......

Now that a full twenty years have passed, I have wasted my good youth and delayed my son.

"Let's go, go home and talk to your mother."

Zhang Xi excitedly watched as his father hugged his left hand.

For many years, only when I was a child, my father had such an intimate act!

In the afternoon, Chen went in and out to buy a pair of rubber shoes, and although the market was full of cement roads, the fish market was also muddy.

In the evening, after dinner, Chen Jin took out the bicycle left by his father.

By the afterglow of the setting sun, I wiped this 28-bar bicycle at the door.

Lao Zhang said that there was an old man surnamed Zhao who earned 200 yuan a day on a bicycle ten years ago.

Of course, I don't have that courage, and there weren't so many cars on the Huaihe Bridge ten years ago.

This classic car was turned over only as a tool for its own travel.

After trying to test that the lock can still be used, Chen Jin took some rapeseed oil and wiped the car lock to keep the switch lock effortless.

Changed into a sweatshirt and rode the bike, blowing the evening breeze all the way to Duliang Park.

In later generations, there were no more people here, but twenty years ago it was a local specialty.

Tens of thousands of people walk here in the evening, and if it is morning, the flow of people is at least tens of thousands.

It was from here that the local square dance developed.

Now that Chen Jin has come in, he just heard that Yang Jie and her husband met here.

At this time, there was no magnificent Duliang Pavilion in later generations, just a forest park composed of various exotic flowers and cement roads.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Chen Jin took a deep breath and ran towards the top of the mountain!

If you don't pay attention to training in your previous life, you will never be able to develop horizontally in the future.

Run, if you are not busy, no matter how tired Chen Jin is, you plan to stick to it!
