To middle age

"Fishing? Where did you go fishing?" I wondered.

"Not far, there is a wood over there, there is a wild river in the woods, he is fishing there." Han Yan's father continued.

"Oh." I nodded.

"Why, you also like fishing, do you want to fish with him?" Han Yan's father continued.

While I was chatting with Han Yan's father, an old lady also walked out of the villa.

"Old man, is this?"

"This is my son's friend."

"Oh, what's your name, boy?"

"My name is Chen Nan."

After a few simple greetings, I hurriedly opened the trunk.

Before I left, I forgot one thing, that was my first visit, and I had to prepare some gifts anyway, and because I didn't buy it, I opened the trunk to see what was there.

Two bottles of Wuliangye and a box of biscuits, these are the little things left in the trunk.

I took these gifts into the villa, and then said: "Grandpa and aunt, then I'll go talk to Han Yan."

"Oh, why are you such a polite young man? We, Han Yan, live here. In the past two years, not many friends have been able to come." Dad Han Yan said.

"Grandpa and aunt, I'll go first." I grinned.

Leaving Han Yan's house, I walked towards the small forest in front of me.

There is indeed a small lake here. According to the people here, it is a wild lake.

Walking through the woods, I saw a middle-aged man in a down jacket with white sideburns fishing.

The middle-aged man sat on a small bench with all his fishing equipment. He sat there, motionless, with a few cigarette butts at his feet.

Is this person Han Yan?

According to visual observation, this Han Yan is at most one meter tall, and he is still relatively thin, with a very easy-going expression and no air of air. It is hard to imagine that such a person will have an unselfish side in the workplace.

"Mr. Han." I walked in and said softly.

Following my words, Han Yan raised his eyes and looked at me. He frowned, as if I had disturbed him fishing.

"Mr. Han, I am--"

"You belong to the Chuangyao Group, I have already said, I have retired, go back soon, don't delay your time." I also planned to introduce myself, but Han Yan interrupted me directly. Signaling that I can go back.

When Han Yan said that, I was embarrassed, but I just came home like this, obviously all plans were in vain.

Just now I had a face-to-face meeting, and Han Yan gave me an eviction order. If it was someone who wanted face, I might have really left. In other words, I felt that Han Yan in front of me was particularly arrogant.

However, for me, since Han Yan has made up his mind to retire, now to speak out is to let me know that I will not make any progress with him. This person speaks very directly and doesn't like procrastination.

"Like fishing?" I asked.

"Isn't the retirement life of the elderly just about raising flowers and plants, fishing?" Han Yan said, suddenly he mentioned the fishing rod, and a four or five crucian carp was picked up.

Putting the fish into a small bucket, Han Yan changed a bait, which was actually an earthworm prepared in advance.

"There is also a fishing rod. Can I go fishing with you?" I asked.

"Why, do you like fishing too?" Han Yan threw the bait into the water and said.

"I used to like fishing in my hometown, but after working and getting married, I never fished again." I explained.

"Since you like it, why don't you even have equipment, my fishing rod, I will not lend it to others, but bait, I can lend you." Han Yan smiled lightly.

"How long are you going to fish for?" I asked hurriedly.

"Go home when the sun goes down," Han Yan said.

As soon as I said this, I nodded and hurriedly walked over to Han Yan's house.

When I got back to Han Yan's house, I started the car. The second elder thought I was going to leave, so I said to go around and come over later.

When I came to town, I bought a set of fishing equipment, and then returned again, took the equipment, and sat down seven or eight meters away from Han Yan.

"You young man is quite interesting, these earthworms, here you are." Han Yan saw my actions, he smiled, and then gave me a small lunch box.

In this lunch box, there are some earthworms with a strange smell.

I picked up an earthworm and sniffed it.

"If you put the fragrance, there is sesame oil in it, it will be more fragrant." Han Yan said.

"Are you very professional?" I said.

"There is nothing professional or unprofessional, fishing every day, always have some ideas, fishing is a performance of a person's decadence, fishing too much, to put it bluntly, it is a useless person." Han Yan laughed at himself.

"Nor can you say that. This fishing tests patience and can cultivate sentiment." I laughed.

"Patience is necessary. As for cultivating sentiment, that is nonsense. To put it bluntly, it is just to go out fishing and make an excuse. Now there are too many young people fishing, especially some with families. No matter what, what is it that is not a waste?" Han Yan continued.

It's weird, how do I feel that there is something in Han Yan's words, as if I am talking about myself, and that fishing is a waste. The more you fish, the more waste it is?

"But Mr. Han, aren't you also fishing? Are you also a useless person?" I asked.

"I'm not retired. Of course, you can treat me like a cripple, but after I catch my fish and go home, I will cook at home." Han Yan explained.

"The fish I caught were made to eat at night, and it was pretty good." I put on the bait and started fishing.

"This fishing rod you bought is too bad, the fishing line is not good, it is easy to break, it is fine to catch a catty of small fish, no matter how big it is, it is easy to break." Han Yan glanced at my fishing rod. And the fishing line, said.

"I don't quite understand, but there should be no big fish here, right?" I said.

"This is my fish pond. I put a lot of fry in it three years ago, not to mention the small crucian carp. There are also a lot of grass carp weighing seven or eight catties or ten catties." Han Yan smiled lightly.

"Oh." I nodded.

"You just said your hometown, you are not from the magic city?" Han Yan turned around.

"Well, I am a foreigner." I said.

"It's not easy for you outsiders to come to the devil to work. Then Yuan Zhu sent you to complete the task?" Han Yan continued.

"No, I'm here, Director Yuan doesn't know." I replied.

"Then what are you here for this time?" Han Yan continued.

"I hope you can go out of the mountain, of course, if you don't want to, Mr. Han, I can't force it?" I said.

"Hahahaha, I can’t talk about going out, but I decided to retire, no one can change, of course, your mission has failed, you have to fish here, I will not drive you away, but you talk to me about work and salary What? I advise you to leave early." Han Yan laughed and said afterwards.
