In this world, we admire great people, envy and admire those successful people who have made great achievements. However, the entire world is composed of millions of ordinary people. After all, great people and successful people are rare and out of reach.
Let’s talk about the lives of ordinary people. This reality is around us and within reach.
Although the people are ordinary, ordinary people are simple and honest, and they are as kind as loess. They are real and real.
Some people may be numbed by the torment of real life and start to follow the crowd. They would rather pay attention to the eating, drinking and eating of crappy third-rate celebrities than pay attention to the ordinary people around them, or their true selves.
Life is not just as simple as living, it has a deeper meaning. Even ordinary people have the responsibilities and responsibilities of being born. For the sake of family, for children, for lovers, and for relatives, as long as they don't die, they have to do it.
struggle.
Ordinary people only have a name on their tombstone to prove that they have been in this world. In fact, this is enough.
Mr. Zhao's old friend Zhang Bujie stepped down from his leadership position, became unemployed and started a leisurely retired life.
At this time, he and Minister Zhao were sitting in front of the fish pond by the Yellow River, staring at the floats in the water, talking cordially.
Not far from them were Lao Tan and Gu Yi. They were also fishing, but they were obviously not as professional or as peaceful as the two old comrades. They looked at the water anxiously, muttering to themselves that the fish would soon take the bait.
Zhou Xiaomei and Mr. Wang were not in such a mood. The two beauties were looking for good scenery to take pictures with their cameras, and cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.
In the distance is the Yellow River. The rushing water has become gentle here, and the wide river surface is rippled with drifting waves, running happily forward.
There is a tall white poplar on the river bank. Although it is not tall, it has luxuriant branches and leaves. There are low poplars in the forest. From time to time, two birds chirp, reflecting the unknown flowers swaying in the wind.
Lao Tan, who was looking attentively, saw the float moving, thought a fish was taking the bait, and pulled the fishing rod suddenly. His hand felt light, and he knew there was nothing, so he had to throw the hook into the water again in despair.
"Brother, you have to stay calm when fishing," Gu Yi said.
"It seems like you caught it." Lao Tan said angrily.
"Haha." Gu Yi laughed, threw a cigarette to Lao Tan, and said: "You know, fishing requires a calm mind, and you can't be calm. If you are fishing here, you are thinking about other things over there, and you are not catching anything."
.”
Lao Tan lit up his cigarette and took a sip. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "I'm not old enough for fishing yet - lunch has been arranged? You are familiar with Tuo County, so it all depends on you."
This is Tuoketuo County. Gu Yi comes here often and has many friends, so he will arrange it today.
"Don't worry if I do things. It's all right. It's not far from here. The farmyard has been arranged."
The first thing Mr. Zhang did when he came here was to go fishing on the Yellow River. He originally planned to go fishing on the shore for real wild fishing, but for safety reasons, he chose a fish pond not far from the Yellow River.
"Brother, I have to remind you how thoughtful it is to cooperate with Mr. Wang. That woman is extraordinary. Don't ask her to take you down." Gu Yi said half-jokingly.
"No, we are not the same person." Lao Tan said.
"There is nothing wrong with others. Women are afraid of brutes and men are afraid of pestering. Regardless of how old she is, ordinary little girls can't compare. You'd better pay attention. Sun Yucong and Zhou Yujun are both extremely smart. What? Didn't they ask her to win?
?”
Old Tan smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's not like I haven't seen women before."
Gu Yi burst out laughing and said, "Brother, women are different from each other. Are those ladies pretty? If you take one of them, they are younger than her. Which one do you choose if you put her and the ladies together?"
"No one can compare like you."
"Just tell me who to choose?"
"Choose her." Lao Tan said honestly.
"That's enough." Gu Yi exhaled a puff of smoke, "This woman is not simple. She can go out into the hall and into the kitchen. She can socialize outside without leaking. She has a way to deal with men. Despite her age, she has aura. She won't be embarrassed to take her out.
, all men like it.”
While the two were chatting, Lao Tan looked over to Mr. Wang and Zhou Xiaomei. Mr. Wang looked very feminine today, wearing beige short-sleeved upper body, light gray cropped trousers, a pair of white travel shoes, and a white wide hat.
A sun hat with a high brim gives people a sense of tranquility and elegance.
Ordinarily she was not on the trip this time, and it happened to be a coincidence. When I was picking up Mr. Zhang at the Jinqiao store last night, she happened to come back from Xilinhot and came over right after getting off the plane. She was going to talk to Mr. Tan about something, and she just happened to catch up.
She was a social person, and could handle such occasions easily. With her extraordinary conversation and refined temperament, she quickly gained favor with Mr. Zhang. When she heard that she was coming to Tuo County for fishing, she volunteered to accompany her, on the grounds that she could provide logistical support.
Old Tan did not object. Both Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao were older, so it would be nice to have a woman of a similar age to accompany them, not to mention a woman who still had charm and good looks and temperament.
At the same time, I thought that even if Mr. Wang had any ideas, it would be impossible. The two old men were both decent people, not like that mess.
Lao Tan suddenly thought of Gu Yi and Li Yanjing and asked, "Is Li Yanjing staying at your place now?"
"Yeah." Gu Yi Lao blushed.
"You are an old cow eating young grass." Lao Tan said.
"What? No?" Gu Yi stiffened his neck.
"What's wrong with it? It's fine. Just don't cheat others." Lao Tan said.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm divorced and single, and so is she. If the two of us find it comfortable, we can get along. Isn't it normal to live together? If we feel it's inappropriate, we can break up, and no one will be delayed." Gu Yi was a little cynical.
said.
"That's quite cool." Old Tan chuckled.
"Isn't it like this------I'm not a few years older than her, I just look older."
Lao Tan looked at Gu Yi's face, which was already showing its vicissitudes of life, and said, "She's not a few years older. The one she deserves is her mother."
Gu Yi was about to laugh and curse when the float in the water suddenly moved, so he immediately put all his thoughts back and quickly pulled the lever. Obviously he was luckier than Lao Tan and caught the first fish of the day.
In the next two hours, Lao Tan caught two and Gu Yi caught four, but none of them were big, about one pound. Compared with the two old people, they were far behind. The fish they caught were all more than two pounds, and each fished more than two pounds.
More than ten of them make others envious.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly on the water, and the reflected light was warm. Everyone packed up their fishing gear, got into the car with their harvest, and soon arrived at the farmyard that Gu Yi had settled.
The farmyard is built next to the fish pond, with a row of ten large bungalows, with cave-style doors and windows on the front, and creative mud beards on the walls, giving people the feeling of being in a rural area in northern Shaanxi.
The courtyard is surrounded by tall willow trees, with their tender branches swaying in the wind, which makes it feel refreshing.
A fat, big yellow dog lay in the shade of a tree. It opened its eyes alertly when someone came in. It just had a scary posture but not the ability to scare people. After looking at it twice, it turned its head away, its mouth was pressed to the ground, ignored it, and continued its leisurely pace.
A sister-in-law in her thirties wearing an apron came out of the cave in the middle and ushered everyone into the cave with a cheerful face.
This cave dwelling looks earthy from the outside, but is very modern inside. It is no less than a private room in a hotel. It has everything you need, and it is also a suite. The middle room is the living room, the left is the lounge, and the right is the earthen kang where people can sleep.
Everyone first went to the lounge and sat down. The tea had been brewed, and there were fresh fruits on the table, as well as a few freshly picked cucumbers, which were very juicy and delicious.
Gu Yi asked everyone to take a rest first, drink tea and eat fruit, and then went out to bring the two biggest fish caught today to the sister-in-law, asked the kitchen to stew them, and told them to make it home-style, and then turned back.
"Two old leaders, what are you drinking?" Gu Yi asked with a smile.
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang looked at each other, and Mr. Zhao said, "Just look at the arrangements."
"Don't drink Wuliangye or Maotai. You always drink it. Do as the Romans do. His family has a small winery that makes good old powder. Most people can't drink it. I heard that when the leader came, the boss made an exception and brought out two jars. Let's try it?"
Yi said.
"Okay, try it." Mr. Zhao said.
"Just drink this." Mr. Zhang said.
Seeing that the two elderly people agreed, Gu Yi went out to arrange drinks, and Lao Tan started chatting.
Knowing that Lao Tan was from Beipiao, Mr. Zhang asked: "Beipiao is from the western Liaoning region. How are you doing now?"
"It's good. We used to be poor, but now it's much better. Every family can do well," Lao Tan said.
"I went there ten years ago, and I remember your coal and iron ore production."
"Well, there is little coal now, and the iron ore is OK. There is a large area of tobacco curing in my area, and the people are getting rich by curing tobacco."
"Tobacco and alcohol are two major items that cannot be separated at any time." Minister Zhao said.
At this time, Mr. Wang asked curiously: "What is flue-cured tobacco? Is it the tobacco we smoke?"
Lao Tan said: "It's almost the same, it should be the same. I haven't baked it before, but it smokes a lot, and it costs more than 30 yuan per catty to bake it."
"There is flue-cured tobacco over there in Hongfeng, and it's quite a big area." Mr. Zhao said.
"Go take a look when you have time," Mr. Wang said.
A few people were chatting, and soon Gu Yi came in and said it was time to start the dinner, so everyone got up and went to the outside room.
