Although it was impossible to determine the final effect of Zhang Yang's treatment plan, Xue Lao had already felt that his body had changed, the pain in his right upper abdomen had decreased, and his appetite had become much better, and his sleep had improved in the past two days.

Because of the treatment, Xue Lao and Zhang Yang had a lot of contact during this time, and naturally had a lot of opportunities to chat, but Xue Lao never asked Zhang Yang about his work, and Zhang Daguan naturally would not take the initiative to mention it, he is now treating Xue Lao, which is equivalent to selling Xue Lao a great favor, Xue Lao is a very affectionate person, he is so good to Xiang Cheng, the reason is that Xiang Cheng protected him during the Cultural Revolution, so he regarded Xiang Cheng as a life-saving benefactor, and now he has saved him, which is equivalent to standing on the same starting line with Xiang Cheng, If something really happens in the future, even if Xue Lao doesn't help him, he won't help others deal with him.

Most of the topics between Xue Lao and Zhang Yang revolve around the customs of Pinghai, or international and domestic news, as for Beigang, this part is never involved, Xue Lao does not say, it does not mean that he does not know, just yesterday he also received a call from Xiang Cheng, Xiang Cheng greeted his body, by the way mentioned that the Ministry of Agriculture ordered them to rectify the development zone, Xue Lao did not make any positive reaction, he found that Xiang Cheng was a little breathless, at this point it is even better than Zhang Yang, a young man, Zhang Yang and himself have met many times, But he never raised any of the problems of North Harbor.

After the day's treatment, Xue Lao suddenly became interested, called Zhang Yang, and asked him to carry the camera and go to the hill behind him to climb the mountain.

The weight of the camera, lens, and tripod is not light, Xue Lao is actually a photography enthusiast, usually these jobs are done by his orderlies, but Xue Lao obviously doesn't want others to follow, so this kind of errand fell on Zhang Daguan's head.

The mountain is not high, there are fairies, the hill located behind the villa is not high, and there are no immortals, but the scenery is quite good, spring is coming, the mountains have been dyed with a little green, every grass and tree has become vivid, Xue Lao stopped and stopped, commanded Zhang Yang to help him set up a tripod, change the lens, Zhang Yang has no research on photography, the point-and-shoot camera has been used, the shutter is pressed, and the thing is done with a click, never like Xue Lao, it is framing again, and it is looking for directions, In order to take a photo, you often have to pick and choose for half a day.

When Xue Lao was taking pictures, Zhang Yang was standing beside him, and found that Xue Lao's expression was very focused, so he chose to take a long time, and finally cautiously pressed a shutter.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Xue Lao is so interested, he actually likes photography." ”

Xue Lao smiled: "Photography is also a kind of art, in the past I wanted to learn painting, but unfortunately I didn't have any talent in that area, and then Shilun gave me a camera, and as a result, my hobby for photography was out of control." He chose a frame, pressed the shutter again, and asked Zhang Yang to help take out the high-magnification lens from his camera bag and replace it. It's not that Xue Lao likes to instruct others to do things, but because the weight of these shots is not light, it's really a bit difficult for him.

Xue Lao sighed: "The years are unforgiving, and when you get older, you have to ask someone to help you if you want to take a photo." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I just found out that photography is a manual job, why don't you always get a small camera, click wherever you go, and you won't bring so much of it." ”

Xue Lao smiled: "You're talking about a point-and-shoot camera, the function of that kind of camera is too weak, it can't meet my requirements, I like to shoot birds recently, I'll go later, I'll let you see a series I shot this year." ”

Photography and fishing are all patient work in the school examination, and Zhang Daguan is lacking in both aspects, but he is persistent in chasing girls.

After Xue Lao finished shooting the birds, he began to shoot wild flowers again, Zhang Yang carried a large bag of equipment on his back and followed Xue Lao out of coolies, and climbed a hill at an altitude of more than 200 meters, and actually climbed for three hours. By the time they reached the top of the mountain, it was already noon.

Xue Lao sat down in the pavilion at the top of the mountain, and Zhang Yang handed over his teacup.

Xue Lao took a sip of water and said, "After you helped me treat, the abdominal pain has improved a lot. ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "It will get better and better!" ”

Xue Lao looked at Zhang Yang with a smile and said, "You are so young, where did you learn this magical medical skill?" ”

Zhang Daguan naturally wouldn't tell him about his bizarre experience of crossing, and said with a smile: "There are several secret recipes handed down by my ancestors, but later I found that this secret recipe is still very useful. ”

Xue Lao said: "Recently, the debate about which is stronger and weaker in Chinese and Western medicine is very intense, why don't you serve the people if you have such good medical skills?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "I am still more interested in politics, Mr. Lu Xun was still a doctor at the beginning, and later found that being a doctor can only heal people, and being a literati can heal the country." ”

Xue Lao laughed, this kid has a lot of reasons, and he actually compares himself with Mr. Lu Xun, Xue Lao said: "Choosing officialdom is choosing to work hard all your life, and in the end you will feel physically and mentally exhausted." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Someone has to do everything, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?" ”

Xue Lao smiled: "Everyone has their own purpose in doing things, what is the purpose of your entry into officialdom?" ”

Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "Fresh, feel fresh!" If one day I lose this freshness, I think I will leave officialdom. ”

"Fresh?" Xue Lao repeated Zhang Yang's words in some surprise, it was the first time someone had given such a reason.

Zhang Yang said: "The first time I had the idea of being an official, I listened to the on-site speech of our county party secretary, and the courage to point out the country and promote the words immediately moved me, I felt that this is life, and the feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance is really enviable, so I had the idea of being an official." ”

Xue Lao was provoked by this kid's words and kept laughing: "You must know that there are people outside the world, and no one can really see the mountains and the mountains." ”

Zhang Yang said: "What Xue Lao said is, I wasn't young at the time, but now I finally understand, and when I realize this truth, now I am deeply involved in it, if a person gets on a thief ship, it is really not easy to go down." He described officialdom as a thief ship.

Xue Lao couldn't help but wonder: "Zhang Yang, your starting point for being an official is not right, for the benefit of the party for the first term of office, it is not for the sake of prestige!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Xue Lao, although my starting point as an official is not correct, but I have a point, that is, I must seek his own government in his position, I can clearly distinguish between public affairs and private affairs, this is really not my boasting, as long as I have served in the place, the people have not said bad things about me, as for my colleagues, then I can't guarantee it." ”

Xue Lao smiled indifferently: "If you want to judge whether an official is good or not, you have to see what he has done, and what the people say, as for the words of colleagues, it is the most untrustworthy, officialdom is a vanity fair, no matter what efforts we make to purify this place, but we can never change its essence, there are many people who really do things for the people, but there are not a few officials who are obsessed with chasing fame and fortune, among which the good and the bad are uneven, ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Why don't you remove all the scum in it?" ”

Xue Lao said: "There is no absolute thing in the world, all absolutes only exist in theory, if you want to make a country's officialdom absolutely clean, it is impossible to do it, just as no fish can live in 100% pure water, so we must tolerate the existence of some impurities, as long as these impurities do not affect the operation of the organization, as long as some behaviors are within a tolerable range, we can choose to ignore." ”

It is not the first time that Zhang Daguan has heard such a theory, the difference is that this time it was said through Xue Lao's mouth.

Xue Lao patted the camera and said: "When taking pictures, pay attention to the background blur and highlight the theme, not to be unable to shoot every detail, but to ignore it selectively, only in this way can we highlight the key points, in order to complete a good work, and such a work will have vitality." ”

Zhang Daguan realized something, he thought for a while and said: "But some garbage can't be blurred." ”

Xue Lao smiled and said, "If you can't get rid of it, you can completely eradicate it!" He stood up, walked out of the gazebo, overlooking the villa area, straightened his waist, and greeted the midday sun, his body was shrouded in a golden halo, and his figure looked brilliant and mysterious.

Zhang Daguan picked up the camera, put Xue Lao's back into view, and clicked. The sound of the shutter alarmed Xue Lao, and he turned around and smiled, "What, you learned to take pictures?" ”

Zhang Daguan said: "Who can't press the shutter, but I can't control the focus and aperture well, and the fool machine is more suitable for me." ”

Xue Lao said: "I hope you don't blur me." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Wherever you go is the focus, there will never be a problem of inaccurate focus." "This sycophant is definitely quite a realm.

Xue Lao said: "No one can be the focus forever!" He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Actually, only nature is eternal!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Old Xue, have you ever been to Qingtai Mountain?" ”

Xue Lao shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I haven't had a chance to go." ”

Zhang Yang said: "When you go to Jiangcheng, I will accompany you to Qingtai Mountain for a trip and pat the strange pines and strange rocks, bamboo forests and sea of clouds." ”

Xue Lao sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to climb such a high mountain." ”

Zhang Yang said: "If you can't climb up, I'll carry you up!" ”

When Xue Lao heard his words, he was a little moved in his heart for some reason, over the years, he has rarely moved others, he looked at Zhang Yang, found sincerity on Zhang Yang's face, and suddenly said, "Why are you so good to me?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Respect, you are one of the few people who can make me feel the feeling of looking up to the mountains as soon as we meet." ”

Xue Lao said: "Pat me on the back? Who else? ”

Zhang Yang said: "Old Qiao, Secretary Gu! ”

Xue Lao smiled and nodded: "When you say this, I believe it a little, is Secretary Gu in your mouth Yunzhi?" ”
