Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing was indeed not in a good state when she sang this song.

He had a lot on his mind at the time.

Only now that I am a father in this time and space can I realize how difficult it is to be a father.

He thought of another song written by Li Zongsheng to his father in that time and space, "Newly Written Old Songs":

She is always more worried than her mother

yes

He is more like a casual bystander

deliberately reserved bystander

Pity

I never put him in my songs

However

God knows what this means

Then I suddenly lived

I am old enough to cry easily

When the world's entanglements are in vain

cash into weathered wrinkles

Dad, I miss you.

He thought of his silent father in his hometown in Huayin.

Not long after getting up the next morning, Yu Dongqing received a call from Luo Yun, with a bit of worry in her tone.

"Holly, are you okay? I watched your live broadcast last night and you were not in a good state when you sang "Father"."

"It's a little bit, but it's okay."

"I didn't expect Zhang Yang's father to be like this, and I don't know how he is now?" Luo Yun asked with a sigh on the phone.

"We are going to Harbin to attend his father's funeral."

"Are you going to Harbin?" Luo Yun seemed surprised.

"Well, we had a discussion after the concert last night. Anyway, it will be fine after the song. I originally planned to spend a few days in Chongqing, but now it seems that everyone is not in the same mood. It is better to go to Harbin to comfort Zhang Yang." Yu Dongqing's voice was low.

"Hey, go ahead. What do you need me to do?" Luo Yun said.

"I've sent Lu Ping to check the musical instrument back for us. You can just accept it when the time comes." Yu Dongqing received it.

"Well, you should also take care of your health and pay attention to safety on the road." Luo Yun's voice was gentle.

"I know."

That afternoon, Yu Dongqing and the others took a flight to Harbin.

Zhang Yang's parents live in an old community, which was originally a family building of a large state-owned enterprise. In the late 1990s, the state-owned enterprise suffered from poor performance and was forced to restructure, and many workers were laid off.

Zhang Yang's father is one of them. The family lives in this house of more than 60 square meters. Later, the country implemented residential commercialization, and the family paid some money to get the property rights of this house.

As time goes by, these communities become more and more dilapidated. Young people have moved away one after another, leaving retired workers like Zhang Yang's father.

Although the environment here is poor, the neighbors are all acquaintances.

Five years ago, Zhang Yang paid for his parents to buy a large apartment in the famous Guanjiang International Real Estate in Qunli QU, but his parents were unwilling to move there and still lived here.

Yu Dongqing and the others stayed in Harbin for three days and left by plane after Zhang Yang's father's funeral. Returning to Yanjing with them was Zhang Yang's daughter-in-law.

Zhang Yang's daughter-in-law flew from Yanjing to Harbin. After attending her father-in-law's funeral, she had to return to Yanjing quickly. There was also a lot of business to attend to at home.

Zhang Yang hasn't left yet, there are still many things for him to deal with here.

It was already mid-August when Zhang Yang returned to Yanjing. When Yu Dongqing heard that he had returned, he immediately called him and asked him to go out to relax.

"Zhang Yang, let's go fishing tomorrow? Instead of going to Shangzhuang Reservoir this time, we'll go to Yeya Lake in Yanqing. It's cooler there and I see the weather forecast is cloudy tomorrow."

Zhang Yang knew that Yu Dongqing was actually a fake fisherman and didn't like fishing in summer. This was purely to accompany him to relax, so he agreed after thinking about it.

The next morning, Yu Dongqing packed up his fishing gear, drove on the Third Ring Road and headed northwest.

Wild Duck Lake is located on the bank of Guanting Lake at the foot of Badaling. It is not only the largest wetland park with the most complete ecosystem in Yanjing, but also the only wetland bird nature reserve in BJ City.

Wild Duck Lake is also a paradise for anglers, with dense reeds and rich aquatic products. Just set up a sun umbrella, place a small horse, a hand pole, and wait quietly.

From sunrise to sunset, you can fish all day if you want.

Yu Dongqing rushed to Yeya Lake, parked the car in the parking lot, and walked to the fishing ground carrying fishing gear and a small horse trap.

He met Liu Yimin and Du Hui by the lake. They came earlier than him, but they hadn't seen Zhang Yang yet.

"We buddies have agreed today that we will never mention Zhang Yang's father," Yu Dongqing said.

This is what the three of them agreed to do, just to relax with Zhang Yang and forget about those sad things for the time being.

The dead are gone and the living are like this, life will go on.

After a while, Zhang Yang came, wearing sunglasses and a floral shirt as always, but everyone could tell that he was not in a very high mood.

When Zhang Yang sat on the pony and threw down the fishing line, Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "Zhang Yang, I told Du Hui and the others just now that we are competing today. Whoever catches less will be responsible for lunch."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately ruthlessly laughed at by Du Hui:

"Holly, at your level, you are in charge of today's lunch!"

"That's not necessarily true. My brother may have performed exceptionally well, just like the last time we played Zhang Yang in Shangzhuang." Yu Dongqing retorted, then turned to look at Zhang Yang and said:

"Zhang Yang, you are so awesome. You actually caught a three-pound crucian carp. Not even Du Hui has this ability."

Indeed.

Zhang Yang boasted about this for a long time.

After hearing this, Zhang Yang showed a smile on his face: "That's because I was lucky. The blind cat hit the dead mouse."

"Oh, you can't say that." Liu Yimin also interjected: "Maybe you will be the most powerful this time."

Everyone was chatting and laughing. Even Du Hui, who usually hates talking when fishing, joined in the conversation and chatted about happy topics. As for whether the fish was hooked or not, no one cared about it.

Oddly enough, Zhang Yang was in a bad mood and placed his fishing rods randomly, but the fish just liked to bite his hooks. He caught the most fish all morning.

"Look, I had the foresight. This time, Zhang Yang caught the most and Holly the least." Liu Yimin looked proud, as if he had won.

"Holly, it's your turn to take charge." Du Hui immediately came out to finish the job.

"Okay, okay, bad luck." Yu Dongqing sighed.

It's really bad luck.

After fishing all morning, I didn't catch even a small crucian carp.

I just gave up my white skin.

We ate at a nearby farmhouse, braised chicken with potatoes, braised silver carp, and a few side dishes. Although we couldn't drink because we were driving, everyone was very happy.

Perhaps it was another extraordinary performance this morning, but Zhang Yang's mood was not as bad as in the morning, and he started laughing with everyone.

The four chatted and talked about the concert in Chongqing. Liu Yimin said excitedly: "Zhang Yang, you don't know, the song "Father" sung by Dongqing is simply amazing."

As soon as he said these words, Liu Yimin regretted it.

Doesn't this make Zhang Yang emotional?

Yu Dongqing quickly wanted to change the subject, but Zhang Yang said: "Brother, my father passed away unfortunately this time. I have thought about many things these days. I would like to take this opportunity to talk to you today."

After hearing this, everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at him.
