On this ancient pond in the wilderness, when Li Tian saw that familiar person, he didn't want to leave or stay.

After all, it's not too early now. If Li Tian leaves here and finds another fish pond, it shouldn't be difficult to catch the three fish required by the special mission. However, the mission requires one day of fishing, which Li Tian is afraid won't be enough.

"Oh, isn't this Li Tian?"

Unexpectedly, the acquaintance greeted him first. His name was Wang Kai. He was from a village in Li Tian. He was about 3 to 4 years older than Li Tian. I only remember that when Li Tian was still in elementary school, this Wang Kai was already there.

Going to junior high school.

He left school earlier than Li Tian and did not go to school after junior high school. Li Tian at least went to high school.

After school, he went to the construction site. I heard that he had been doing water and electricity installation. A few years ago, when the construction industry was at its most prosperous, he made a lot of money. He bought a house and a car in the city. Now he has a wife and children.

.

Compared to the downtrodden Li Tian, ​​he can be regarded as a winner in life.

"Haha." Li Tian smiled awkwardly at first. "Brother Kai, when did you come back?"

"I came back last night. The child missed his grandma, so I took him back to play for two days. Don't stand there stupidly and come over to fish. I happened to be bored by myself. Let's fish together, be a companion, and talk.

"Wang Kai is only a few years older than Li Tian, ​​and he has no airs. He has been working around outside for more than ten years, and he is also relatively good at talking.

Unlike the young Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei graduated from university and joined a big company. He wears suits and ties all day long, and he has the air of a scholarly social elite.

Wang Kai, on the other hand, is not highly educated, does menial work, and has a social aura about him.

"good."

Li Tian didn't know what to say. Although they were acquaintances, due to the age difference and the distance between their families, Li Tian never played with Wang Kai when he was a child.

So we know each other, but our relationship is not as good as Zhang Lei.

Maybe it's because they don't have a deep relationship, so Wang Kai talks more.

"Li Tian, ​​I also heard from my mother about you. I heard that you plan to become a small farmer now?"

Coming, Li Tian smiled bitterly in his heart. The whole village knew that he was now a small farmer in his hometown. Since he couldn't escape, he said bluntly: "Yes, I have no ability. I have been working outside for many years. I have no

Get ahead..."

However, before Li Tian finished speaking, Wang Kai came over to smoke a cigarette. Li Tian noticed that his movements were particularly skillful. He often smoked cigarettes for others, but what surprised Li Tian was his hands.

The calluses are extremely thick and cracked in many places. He is only in his early thirties and some of his hair is white. He looks like someone who has endured hardship.

"It's not without reason that people can get ahead." Li Tian would think like this in his heart.

"I don't smoke, thank you."

Wang Kai smiled. "If a man doesn't smoke or drink, what's the point of living? But you, like Zhang Lei, are a cultured man. It's good not to smoke."

"What kind of educated person?" Li Tian said with a wry smile: "Zhang Lei reckons, I am not. I dropped out of high school before I finished high school. I am completely illiterate."

Wang Kai smiled and did not say much on this topic. His fishing rod equipment was relatively complete and was directly fixed on the bracket. When a fish was hooked, he could take the fishing rod and free his hands. At this time, he ordered one himself

He smoked a cigarette with squinted eyes.

He returned to the topic just now and said: "Li Tian, ​​we are all from the same village, and I don't treat you as an outsider. There is really no future for you as a farmer, unless someone invests in you to become bigger and stronger. Usually in your own home

It’s hard to survive just by growing vegetables and land, let alone getting married and having children. If you can’t support yourself, how can you support a family?”

Wang Kai said it quite honestly. Although Li Tian was uncomfortable smoking second-hand smoke, he was not too repelled in his heart.

Li Tian decided to become a small farmer in his hometown because he opened the best small farmer system. However, he has not found a reasonable explanation yet, so when facing Wang Kai, Li Tian didn't know how to answer.

But Wang Kai suddenly put a cigarette in his mouth, stood up and pulled the fishing rod and said: "The fish is hooked."

Sure enough, although this ancient pond is relatively desolate, there are still fish in it. As expected, Wang Kai caught a fish weighing half a catty, which is already quite big. After all, this is a wild crucian carp, not a fish raised in fish ponds.

.

Wang Kai caught one and was in a good mood. He threw the fish into his fish basket, then squatted down on the edge of the pond and washed his hands. After coming up, he finished smoking the cigarette in his mouth, threw it under his feet, and used his feet to

Get rid of it. After all, this is a barren mountain. It would be bad if it catches fire.

After doing all this, Wang Kai suddenly looked at Li Tian and asked: "Li Tian, ​​do you want to follow me?"

"..."

Li Tian was stunned, he did not expect Wang Kai to say these words.

"Although the installation of water and electricity is not as easy as it was a few years ago, if you work hard, learn this skill, and become a water and electricity master, you don't want to be rich, but there is still no problem in supporting your family, as long as you are not lazy and are not afraid of hardship.

.”

Li Tian hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Kai for your kindness. Maybe I really want to be a small farmer. When I am busy, I work in the fields. When I am free, I fish leisurely. I don't have much ideals in life. That's it."

Just muddle along."

Li Tian hesitated not because he was moved, but because he was thinking about how to reject Wang Kai. After all, if someone wants to give you a hand, it would be inappropriate for you to reject him immediately.

Therefore, what Li Tian said is true or false.

After hearing what Li Tian said, Wang Kai could only shake his head helplessly. "Li Tian, ​​your kind of thinking is unacceptable. If you have been a small farmer for a few years, you will be useless -"
