The old man is indeed an expert at fishing. Although he is injured and sitting in a wheelchair and cannot demonstrate in person, he gave a few casual instructions next to Chen Feng and An Ruohua, and Chen Feng discovered that he could indeed do it.
The fish has been caught.
"The bait you made is too big, so it is difficult for the fish to take the bait, and even if it is hooked, it will be easy to detach. Make it smaller, smaller still, um, just make it the size of a soybean. It's too small. I'm talking about the kind of soybeans that have been soaked in water.
Didn’t you read the fishing bait instruction manual? This is the most basic common sense, okay!”
Chen Feng chuckled. He had read the manual, but he didn't read it very seriously. The actual operation was naturally a bit clumsy.
However, the old man was very patient now. He gave Chen Feng pointers and taught him very seriously.
After a while, Chen Feng succeeded in catching a grass carp weighing about three kilograms.
"Well, this fish is not bad. Although it has a little more spines, it tastes good and has high nutritional value. It is delicious!" The old man said with a pleased look on his side.
After catching a fish, Chen Xinxin became more confident and continued fishing. The old man sat in his wheelchair, guiding Chen Feng and An Ruohua to fish while chatting with them.
During the conversation, Chen Feng learned that the old man's name was Hu Qing. He was sixty-four years old and a local. He lived in Longtan Town and had his own houses in both Dalongtan and Xiaolongtan.
Hu Qing served as a soldier when he was young and seemed to have made some meritorious service, but he did not elaborate on these, he just mentioned that his wife passed away a few years ago, and he had no heirs, so he was the only one in the family.
After he retired from the army and returned home, Hu Qing and a group of young people in the village formed a class of bricklayers. They traveled all over the country to find work and earned some hard money. In addition, some of his comrades later did well and often found ways to help.
He, so, he and his wife are living a pretty good life.
However, after his wife passed away, Hu Qing had no thoughts in his heart. He donated most of his savings to the school in the village and lived a simple life by himself. He usually liked hiking and fishing.
He also has a somewhat aloof personality and will bluntly criticize things he doesn't like.
So, when I was hiking up the mountain two days ago, I couldn't help but complain when I saw that An Ruohua had been busy taking photos and neglected to enjoy the beautiful scenery around her.
In the old man's view, people should cherish everything in front of them, taking pictures, taking pictures, and reminiscing. These are all fictitious. It is really a pity to delay real life for these fictitious things.
Of course, the old man's point of view is not necessarily right. He is just used to measuring the whole world in his own way, which makes him seem a bit unreasonable.
However, after being rescued by Chen Feng and An Ruohua, Hu Qing's mentality changed a lot. At least he had a good attitude when facing Chen Feng and An Ruohua.
In this way, under the guidance of Hu Qing, Chen Feng and An Ruohua finally returned home with a full load today. They caught five or six big fish, enough to feed them for two or three days.
"Old man, come home with us to drink fish soup today. The reason why we caught so many fish today is all thanks to your guidance." Chen Feng put away the fishing rod, looked at Hu Qing and said with a smile.
Hu Qing looked at Chen Feng and then at An Ruohua, who was standing pretty on the side. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't cause trouble for you. I have to follow the doctor's orders these days."
Eat and drink medicine, and I have been recuperating at home in Xiaolongtan Village for the past two days, so there will be many opportunities to meet in the future."
After saying that, he waved to the nurse next to him and said goodbye to Chen Feng and An Ruohua.
"Well, this old man really said what he said and left as soon as he said it. He didn't leave any room for redemption." Chen Feng sighed.
An Ruohua also nodded: "Well, although Mr. Hu sometimes doesn't speak nicely, he is still a nice person. You see, he didn't directly say a word of thanks when he came, but when he guided us to fish, he was so...
Seriously and without reservation”
"Some people talk very beautifully, but always compromise on their actions. Some people don't like to talk too much, but they are extremely serious in their work. Mr. Hu is the latter kind of person." Chen Feng looked at Hu Qingyuan.
said the back view.
As Chen Feng said, Hu Qing didn't say very polite words, but his actions showed everything.
Since he taught Chen Feng and An Ruohua how to fish that day, the two sides met several times in the next few days. Each time, Hu Qing happily chatted with them about their daily life, and occasionally sent his caregivers to help Chen Feng.
The two of them sent over some fresh fruits and vegetables.
Although you can buy these things in the market in Dalongtan, Hu Qing said that the vegetables he grows are not treated with chemical fertilizers or pesticides. They are natural and pollution-free, and they are definitely more delicious and more delicious.
healthy.
After refusing several times, Chen Feng accepted Hu Qing's kindness. However, he would sometimes prepare the fish he caught and send a few to the elderly. The doctor also said that eating
The fish is fine, and it will help him recover quickly. Of course, most of the fish given to Hu Qing is steamed and boiled, which is relatively light. As for the braised fish, sweet and sour fish, these are reserved for himself and An Ruohua.
An Ruohua herself didn't realize that she had actually become a little fat recently, but Chen Feng didn't care. On the contrary, he thought it would be better to be fatter, so he saw through it without telling her and secretly enjoyed it.
A few days later, Chen Feng suddenly discovered that the person who came to deliver food to him was no longer the caregiver before, but turned into a young man about his age.
"Hello, you are Chen Feng. I am Zhao Tan. I was a student sponsored by Uncle Hu back then. I just came back to take care of his old man recently. Thank you for your help!"
After speaking, Zhao Tan bowed deeply to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was a little surprised. He heard Hu Qing say that he donated most of his property to the school in the village. He didn't expect that he would meet someone who had been sponsored by him so soon.
This man is quite conscientious, and he actually made a special trip to take care of Hu Qing. He seems to be a good man who knows how to repay his kindness.
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." Chen Feng took the vegetables in Zhao Tan's hand and said with a smile: "Also, don't let your Uncle Hu deliver vegetables to me every day in the future. We won't be able to finish them.
"
Zhao Tan smiled and didn't say anything, but judging from the meaning, he would probably continue to give gifts in the future.
After delivering the food, Zhao Tan did not stay longer at Chen Feng's side, but quickly returned to Hu Qing's house.
Hu Qing's house is located at the entrance of the downstream village of Xiaolongtan Village. It is a single-family house and a small courtyard. However, this small courtyard is much simpler, with only three bungalows. In addition to a large vegetable garden, there are only a few free-range chickens running around in the courtyard.
Come and go.
Zhao Tan pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, looking at this extremely familiar place with moist eyes.
When he was a child, he was not only able to go to school because of Hu Qing's donation. For a while, he often lived here and was raised by Hu Qing and his wife like their own child.
Because when he was a child, his parents went out to work all year round and rarely came home for a year. Later, for some unknown reason, they lost contact with their hometown and did not know where they went. He was still young at the time, and his grandparents were too old, so Hu Qing
He often takes him to his home to take care of him.
Zhao Tan always remembers this kindness in his heart.
So when he heard the news that Hu Qing broke his foot, he immediately chose to come back.
Before coming back, he also got in touch with several other people who had been funded by Uncle Hu. As a result, most of those people hesitated and made excuses not to come back. A few people with conscience transferred some money, and those without conscience,
It just disappeared.
Zhao Tan could not influence other people's thoughts. He could only try his best to repay Hu Qing's kindness.
"Xiao Tan, are you back?" Hu Qing was sitting in a wheelchair at this time, staying in the room in the middle, looking out the door in a daze. When he saw Zhao Tan's figure, a look of relief appeared on his face.
look.
"Well, uncle, I'm back. You've been suffocating at home, so I'll take you out for a walk!" With that said, Zhao Tan started to push Hu Qing out for a walk.
Hu Qing nodded, looked at Zhao Tan carefully preparing things for himself, and then sighed softly.
"Xiao Tan, just come back and stay with me for two days. It's better to go back to the city to work as soon as possible. Your own future is more important. As an old man, it's enough for me to have a nurse to take care of me."
After hearing Hu Qing's words, Zhao Tan thought for a while and said: "It's okay, uncle. I quit my job before I came back. I'll stay with you to recover from your injuries first. It will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. It's such a long time."
Time, no matter how professional the nurse is, I still don’t trust him.”
"You!" Hearing what Zhao Tan said, Hu Qing was a little angry: "How could you do this? I am nothing but an old man, how could you quit your job to take care of me? You are so reckless!
"
Seeing Hu Qing's angry look, Zhao Tan quickly explained: "Uncle, please listen to me first. My previous job was marketing and Internet marketing, and the content was also focused on self-media. I have been working for several years. Although I make a lot of money,
I made some money, but in the end, there is no bigger way out in this business, because I don’t have any content that really belongs to me now, and all my efforts have been made into wedding dresses for others.”
Hu Qing listened to Zhao Tan's words quietly. Although he was older and couldn't understand some parts, he could still understand the general meaning.
Zhao Tan's current situation is that he has channels and connections to help others promote, but he never owns the content copyright. He has done many successful promotion and marketing cases, but the final profit sharing is all based on the copyright of the content.
Fang and the channel side were separated, and all he got was the minimum marketing fee and intermediary fee. If he continued like this, he could make a little money to live on, but it would be difficult to make big money and turn around.
Therefore, he is now thinking about how he can take more initiative and hold all the content and channels in his hands!
This is of course not a simple process. He needs to plan and think carefully, and also needs to conduct a lot of investigations and experiments. Therefore, he resolutely resigned, on the one hand, to come back to take care of Hu Qing, and on the other hand, for his own benefit.
Make plans for the future.
After listening to Zhao Tan's explanation, Hu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Okay, as long as you have an idea. Uncle is old, doesn't understand many things, and can't help you."
You are busy, you have to work hard!"
Zhao Tan nodded seriously: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't let you down!"
