Chapter 14: Separation

Only when you are at the top of the world can you be qualified to judge everything in the world. Unbridled indulgence is relentless. So no matter how hard life is, there's no reason for us to give up climbing.

This is the sentence that the old man remembered most deeply for Wu Fan,

"This gentleman understands erhu?"

"I studied for a while before, but I put it aside for a long time, and I basically forgot about it."

"Then Lao Er, please Mr. pull my erhu, Lao Er, I have played the erhu for others in my life, and no one has pulled it for me once, I always feel that something is missing."

The old man handed the erhu to Wu Fan, and Wu Fan was embarrassed to refuse, so he reached out and took the erhu and pulled a classic erhu song "The Year in a Hurry"

(Okay, I'm lying again, after all, the classic repertoire of erhu is only in a hurry, isn't it?) )

The hurried year in the erhu is still beautiful and moving, but it is less ethereal and more decisive. Like a lonely goose determined to fly in the wilderness, who knows if it really wants to leave.

"Young man, I haven't heard this song old man, I'm afraid it's a pop song. Our generation, I have played erhu all my life, and I didn't say that I composed any new songs, one eats the old book, or else licks the old face to rely on the old and sell the old, to be honest, shameful. ”

"The second half of a person's life is lit up by the first half of his life, young man, don't think that the old man is chattering. As the saying goes, the bird is dying and its song is also mourning, and the person is dying and its words are also good. Now that the old man is about to bury the soil in his neck, he realizes that this 'road' must be walked to reach it, 'things' must be done to complete, and 'suffering' must be eaten to be eliminated. Nowadays, many young people come from poor backgrounds and feel that their parents owe them and that God owes them a debt to them. In fact, they don't know that the old saying is a blessing to suffer, why is it an old saying? It is the wisdom handed down by thousands of years of ancestors, the hardships of suffering, not to mention the ability to become a master, but at least in the future, when facing their children and grandchildren, they can straighten their waists and tell them that they have played with that era! ”

Wu Fan almost laughed out loud with the last sentence of the old man, he was really not old and not a naughty child.

Wu Fan: "There is only one reason to move forward, but there are many outrageous reasons to retreat. Many people spend their days looking for a hundred reasons to prove that he is not a coward, but never a single reason to prove that he is a warrior. ”

The old man stroked his small handful of beard: "That's right, mourn its misfortune, and be angry with it." The young man in Shantou came out with 500 yuan to work hard and became the richest man in China, who would have thought that a clock repairman would eventually become a world-famous plastic king? Young man, old man, I haven't said so much to others for a long time, and it is fate that we can meet today, and I will give you this erhu old man. ”

Where did Wu Fan dare to ask for this erhu that just looked like it was priceless, not to mention that the two met in Pingshui, and it was useless. However, the old man pushed in every possible way, and Wu Fan had no choice but to take the erhu.

The wheel of history has stood still, and so has life. Although Wu Fan's life is still not too turbulent as usual, he occasionally reads, occasionally boxs, always works, and tutors Wang Xinhan in his homework at night. Everyone who looks up to the ideal in their heart is working with their heads down. Perhaps in a society where money worship is obviously above all else, any dignity and ideals become worthless, but Wu Fan still wrote a sentence from Mr. Feng Zikai when he tutored Wang Xinhan in calligraphy: Some animals are mainly valuable to bones, such as people. Wang Xinhan, who is not very old, can't understand or write, as long as he can barely score 80 points in each subject during the exam, so that his two parents are neither happy nor disappointed. In fact, Wu Fan admires Wang Xinhan very much, because this ten-year-old child has never forced himself to do something that he can't do, nor is he stubborn and bent on going his own way, to be honest, there are not many children who can think about others in this era. Therefore, Wu Fan occasionally teaches him erhu in his spare time, and he is the strongest learning ability in his youth, so during this time, many children are tutoring homework, or tutoring all kinds of messy interest classes. After all, the plan of the day lies in the morning, which is why Wu Fan always likes to say 'good morning' when greeting people, whether it is in the middle of the day or eight o'clock at night. However, Wu Fan thinks that the well-known sentence 'can't let children lose at the starting line' is ridiculous, this sentence must be a banner used by an educational institution to solicit business, life is only a hundred years, as long as a marathon, how can anyone run a marathon still care about the starting line?

Everyone doesn't like to stare at a pool of stagnant water, and that feeling of calm can be suffocating.

The boss Wang Chao is washing rice and stewing rice in the back kitchen, and when cooking rice in a restaurant like this, it is a very big pot of stew, which makes Wu Fan feel magnificent when he looks at it.

"Boss, why are you cooking so delicious? I've done a lot of work before, but I can't compare to your craft. ”

The boss wiped the sweat on his head with the back of his hand and said: "People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." Everyone cooks, and everyone cooks more or less something, but there are many people who have been cooking at home for seven years, but instead of improving their cooking level, they have found the seven-year itch of marriage? The main reason is that you don't treat cooking as a very important thing, and you don't put in the energy and enthusiasm to practice. Cooking every day is just to keep the family running, and you don't need to look at it with a professional eye. ”

"At that time, I had just graduated from college, and I wanted to do something without a job, and later I said that I should open a restaurant, but it doesn't matter if I don't know how to cook, learn. Since then, I have been reading books, watching TV and studying at home every day, and sometimes the worst thing is that I and your boss have been eating one dish for two days and six meals in a row. Books always say that a little salt and a little MSG are moderate, but how much is the right amount? How much is a little? I don't know if I can only try it myself, and I forget how long I practiced, until I felt almost enough, and I opened such a small restaurant. ”

phone, the boss wiped his hands with an apron, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and answered a call. The boss, who had a very pleasant face, suddenly turned dark and gloomy.

"Okay, I see, I'll talk to her." The boss hung up the phone.

There must be demons when things are impermanent, and Wu Fan knows that it is definitely not a good thing. Sure enough, in the evening, the boss made a big meal for everyone, and in terms of richness, Wu Fan said in his heart that this was probably a full banquet of the Manchurian and Han Dynasty.

"Salted duck, ground pot chicken, paper-wrapped prawns. Wu Fan, aren't you always clamoring for me to cook you authentic Jiangsu food? I'll give you a taste of my craft today. ”

Wu Fanzheng was playing with Wang Xinhan, and took the time to say: "Then I can eat more, and if I eat again, I don't know what year it will take." ”

Why? Because the boss announced something to everyone before the meal, the Wang restaurant will close down in the future. It's not because the business is bad, it's not because the rent is due and it's a one-time clearance here, it's not. Wu Fan learned from the boss's words that the boss dynasty had a compatriot's brother in Nanjing's hometown, and the boss's brother died yesterday, so the boss dynasty had to go back to his hometown to deal with a lot of things, and he would not come back after he was dealt with.

Wu Fan looked at the boss dynasty, and inexplicably thought of four words in his heart: died young. My brother is already like this, and my brother is also bad?

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone is almost drunk except for the show, and life must be happy, because no one knows if there will be tomorrow after today.

Wu Fan asked the fat man Guo with a red face: "Old Guo, what are you going to do if you don't do this?" ”

"Me? I'm easy to do, I at least have a home in Shenyang City, live at my parents' house for a few days, and then look for a job. I'm easy to find a job, and I can do some physical work and make up for it, but Xiao Wu, what about you? ”

"I'm easy to deal with, and I've lived the days of being a bed on the floor, it's not bad."

"You're not bad, but what about that? In fact, in the final analysis, we just have to live, I don't want extravagant looks, but Xiao Wu, you are different, the girl is a good child, I don't say anything, anyway, you know more than me. ”

Wu Fan pursed his lips, a little at a loss.

Wu Fan went to the side of the plywood room next door and knocked on it, and asked, "Xiu'er, have you slept?" ”
