Although Ninghu Lake is a good place, not many people actually come here in winter. For no other reason – it's too cold.

Every summer, there will be a lot of people around Ninghu Lake who come to cool off for vacation. In winter, the environment of Ninghu Lake surrounded by mountains on three sides is not very good. The only relatively flat upstream is facing north, and cold winds pour in from the north mouth of the basin, blowing much cooler temperatures in the lake area than in the surrounding area. The urban area of Ningyuan relies on the urban heat island effect, and the average daytime temperature in winter is about zero degrees. The temperature in Ninghu Lake dropped directly to minus six degrees. At the same time, there are gusts of wind, and the temperature is probably not much different from that of the capital.

Sun Lien and his entourage arrived at Ninghu Resort by car. Xu Yourong wrote clearly in the ppt, she directly booked a fishing villa near the lake. Two boats can be used by six people throughout the day - the lake is deep and often has waves, and the short cold wind does not freeze the lake, but instead coats the surrounding stones with a layer of ice, and the hot water discharged from the power plant upstream all year round also creates a rime-like scene in the surrounding area. The villa has a charcoal barbecue area and four wood stoves in the room, and there are a total of four rooms and eight beds, which is enough for six people.

Yes, there were six people in the group, and Xu Yourong's parents were also in the car.

Father Xu is not young, and he looks even a little older than Liu Pingchuan may be old. The old man is a professor at the Faculty of Arts of Song'an University, and Xu's mother is a junior sister who is three years younger than Xu's father.

After being a professor at Song'an University for a lifetime, Professor Xu was born to a daughter, and at the age of 42, he and his wife gave birth to such a baby daughter as Xu Yourong. And Professor Xu, who prides himself on being a scholarly heirloom, let his daughter go to medicine with the thinking of a traditional literati. On the one hand, the hanging pot helps the world to rejuvenate, which is a good thing in Professor Xu's opinion. On the other hand, if the daughter has no intention of pursuing a career, it is not a good look, but a good doctor, and it can be regarded as following the teachings of the ancients.

On the other hand, Professor Xu is actually a fun-loving person at heart. During the ten-year catastrophe, Professor Xu, who was newly married to his younger sister, was sent to Lincang, Yunnan. Professor Xu, who was still a young man at the time, was not hit at all, but took the opportunity to swim all over the mountains and rivers near Lincang. When he returned to Song'an University to take office, the professors of other literature departments were all engaged in scar literature, but only Professor Xu wrote a book "Lincang Travel", which was also a clear stream in the literary world at that time.

However, along the way, Professor Xu and his wife, who were supposed to be fun and joyful, never spoke much. After the six of them arrived at the villa, Professor Xu simply grabbed Sun Lien and walked to the lake to fish together.

Sun Lien was choked by the cold wind, if it weren't for the stove behind him to keep warm, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to stretch his fingers straight. He wore a lambskin glove given by Hu Jia in his right hand, and put bait on the hook in his left hand.

Professor Xu threw a rod and lifted the bait, and sat on a small wooden pier to catch fish. After a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed.

Sun Lien thought that Professor Xu thought that it was not interesting to fish with a layman like him, and was about to apologize embarrassedly, but suddenly heard Professor Xu ask leisurely, "I heard...... Are you a tolerant leader?"

Sun Lien sniffed, pointed at himself and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Xu, have you ever seen a leader like me?"

Professor Xu nodded approvingly, "I don't think you like it either." ”

The cold wind blew, and Sun Lien shivered and secretly glared at the old man who was telling the truth.

"Yourong suddenly seemed to have changed his personality a few days ago, and he was willing to chat with us when he was at home. The old man picked up a rod on the cold shore and pulled back, and a greedy crucian carp was caught ashore by Professor Xu. He plucked the crucian carp and threw it back into the water. "It's just that there's only one topic to talk about – you. ”

Sun Lien trembled, lifted the rod and saw that the fishhook was empty, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Doctor Xu won't be speaking ill of me at home, right?"

Professor Xu also laughed, "This kid's character, if you really want to say bad things, you will say it to your face." How could he hold back and complain to us at home?" he dismounted again, his red and yellow floats undulating on the steaming white smoke.

A few swans flew over the water in the distance. Since the thermal power plant in the upper reaches of Ninghu Lake was put into use, Ninghu Lake has become one of the wintering destinations for migratory birds due to its relatively high water temperature and the aquatic plants and organisms that are produced by the high water temperature.

White birds, old men, fishing rods, water mist. Sun Lien vaguely felt as if he was looking at an ink painting.

She ...... You know what, right?" Professor Xu lifted the rod again, and it was still a small crucian carp. After picking the small fish and releasing them, Professor Xu suddenly asked Sun Lien, "You are all young people, and you may talk about this topic...... It's a little easier than talking to us?"

Sun Lien was silent. He didn't know how to answer the question.

The wind blew across the lake again, and a gust of white mist was swept ashore.

"I always felt ...... It's good that she's happy. Professor Xu sighed, "But I can't say this." ”

Professor Xu is an old-school man. Although his years of working with young students have made him extremely open to many issues, he really can't get past his daughter's sexual orientation. Professor Xu has been working for a long time to build up his psychology that he can accept that his daughter doesn't like men and that she intends to spend her life with gay people. But he really couldn't say to his daughter in person, "If you like it, I don't care".

Sun Lien's club head moved slightly, he suddenly lifted the rod, and a carp weighing almost two catties was directly taken out of the water.

"If you need counseling, I can introduce you to one of the best psychotherapists in our hospital. Sun Lien decided to keep the fish, "but ...... IMHO, Uncle Xu. He took advantage of the time to catch the fish, turned his head to Professor Xu and said seriously, "This kind of thing is not something that anyone can decide. It's all something you come from, and you don't have to feel any psychological burden or feel ashamed. ”

"These things, I know. Professor Xu put down the fishing rod, wrapped his hands around the knee of his left leg, and coughed lightly twice. "God has times when he is blind, and she can't be blamed for that. ”

"And don't think about sending Dr. Xu to any correctional facility. Sun Lien said seriously, there are many such reports on the news, and he feels that he needs to remind Professor Xu of this. "Ask yourself, how would you feel if someone sent you to an isolated place and forced you to like a man every day with electric shocks and corporal punishment?"

Professor Xu glanced at Sun Lien, was silent for a while, and then nodded, "I understand." ”

The mist was thick, and two men, one old and one young, were roasting on the water's edge and continued to talk about something.
