Chen Fusheng is well-versed in writing folk-style rural novels. He has a particularly thorough study of rural people and the customs of the Tujia people.

Cao Rui read almost all of his novels in three days. He felt like vomiting after reading. He thought that if he had worked so hard when he was in high school, he would definitely not be a grassroots civil servant now. He would be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University. , even if you want to enter politics, the starting point is much higher.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world. People can only grow and mature after experiencing beatings and bumping into walls. When they mature, their youth is gone. Cao Rui is lucky to still have the opportunity to work hard. This is better than most people. In fact, it is much stronger.

Chen Fusheng wrote novels, and Cao Rui also wrote novels. He selected a few novels for Chen Fusheng to read. Anyway, it was just a little bit. People are shameless and invincible. Cao Rui made it very clear that when he came to Chen Fusheng, he was learning from his master.

Cao Rui said:

"Teacher Chen, the people who can write novels in Yongping are basically people about the same age as you, or even older than you. The younger generation can hardly find anyone engaged in literature!

Many people say that in today's economic society, there is no future for literature. It should be said that this is true and is the main reason! But there is another reason, that is, the current education is too utilitarian, and our generation’s level and attainments in writing are not as good as those of your predecessors!

Let’s not talk about writing skills, let’s talk about writing. How many young people can write now? It’s rare, this era is full of impetuosity, now I squeeze out time to write something like squeezing out toothpaste, it’s really difficult, and I don’t have a teacher to guide me, I have to figure it out on my own, and I’m often confused! "

Cao Rui paused and continued:

"Anyway, Teacher Chen, I know you! I have also seen your level. I have read your masterpieces "Little Road", "One Man's Ranch" and so on repeatedly. I also wrote a little something myself, so I have the audacity to invite you. Your advice!

I know that traditional literary circles like to carry sedan chairs. You don’t need to carry my sedan chair. If you have any problems, please point them out directly. I would be very grateful..."

Cao Rui and Chen Fusheng came into contact in this way. Chen Fusheng made small circles on Cao Rui's manuscript. First of all, he criticized Cao Rui for not being able to pass the test in terms of writing and showing his true temperament.

Ordinary people may not be able to accept this kind of criticism, but Cao Rui does not have the squeamishness of ordinary rotten literati. His current contact with Chen Fusheng is not only work, but he also regards this as a valuable learning opportunity.

Cao Rui always feels that the fundamental reason why many people in this world are stagnant and find it difficult to make progress is that they are not open-minded and unwilling to admit that they are worse than others.

In fact, the more this kind of person is, the worse off he is, and the more he is a loser in life. If a person wants to truly succeed, the first step he must pass is self-revolution, and he must have a very calm and clear understanding and judgment of himself.

You can neither overestimate nor underestimate yourself. You must be clear about your own strengths and be very aware of your shortcomings and shortcomings. When you meet someone who is stronger than yourself, neither be humble nor overbearing, and keep your head down to learn from their strengths.

In fact, it is very important for people to learn to bow their heads. It is not shameful to bow your head. What is shameful is to spend your life doing nothing and accomplishing nothing in your life.

Cao Rui devoted himself wholeheartedly and made rapid progress. Anyway, he remembered Ling Feng's words, if a person only does one thing and is very simple and focused, it will be easier to accomplish it.

Chen Fusheng and Cao Rui gradually drank more frequently, and then Cao Rui started fishing with him, which lasted for ten days.

Chen Fusheng was fishing, and while Cao Rui drove him to and from him, he also bought camping equipment and prepared cooking utensils in the back of the car. When Chen Fusheng was fishing outside, he camped outside for a picnic.

In the middle of winter, fishing for crucian carp in the wild and eating hot meals is a wonderful day.

One warm winter day, Cao Rui accompanied Chen Fusheng to go fishing on the beach in the upper reaches of the Lihe River. At about ten o'clock, Chen Fusheng called out to Cao Rui:

"Cao Rui, cook more rice at noon! Someone is coming to eat and drink!"

Cao Rui didn't know who was coming. When lunch was about to begin, an off-road vehicle came onto the river beach. At that time, Toyota vehicles were still a god-like presence in China.

And this car is a Toyota. The car is parked. The driver is a middle-aged man, wearing a black windbreaker, short hair, and wearing sunglasses. He is not very tall, but he is cool!

He walked up to Cao Rui and took off his sunglasses. Cao Rui saw this person - Cao Hui?

Could Cao Rui recognize the principal of Yongping No. [-] Middle School and a legendary figure in Yongping?

"Principal Cao? Teacher Chen is still fishing. Let's have a simple snack for lunch today. The key is to experience the wild fun!"

Cao Hui glanced at Cao Rui and asked:

"What's your surname, and you also work in a newspaper?"

Cao Rui smiled: "The principal and I have the same last name. I work at the county government and I am accompanying Teacher Chen to collect information."

Cao Hui said: "That's still my family, what kind of food are you cooking?"

Cao Hui came over and opened the lid of the pot. There was a pot of braised pork stewed with potatoes, and another pot of fresh crucian carp stewed with tofu. Cao Rui's cooking skills were passable, and the food in the two pots was stewed with aroma.

Cao Hui was about to reach out for a piece of meat to eat, but Cao Rui handed him a spoon.

He ate a piece of meat, smashed it in his mouth, and said, "Young man, your craftsmanship is very good!"

He walked a few steps forward and shouted:

"Old Chen, what else are you fishing for? Dinner is ready!"

Chen Fusheng calmly packed up his fishing rods, walked over, and took a bottle of wine from the trunk of Cao Rui's car:

"Drivers are not allowed to drink!"

Cao Rui had prepared all the meals. The conditions in the field were limited. Everyone was sitting on mats, and the bowls and chopsticks were plastic and disposable. When Cao Hui saw the wine, he said angrily:

"Chen Fusheng, you are nothing! When you fucking called me, why didn't you say there was good wine and meat?" Cao Hui said

Chen Fusheng said:

"You are confused when you are an official. When did I ask you not to drink? Is it possible that I asked you to do some projects for me, or get me a place in school? Yong Ping said that we have a good relationship, but in fact our essential relationship is Just fair-weather friends.

I drove here by myself, without a driver, and even scolded me for being a loser! "

Chen Fusheng poured himself a full glass of wine, took a sip, and then ate a piece of braised pork. The taste was incredible.

It turned out that Cao Hui was addicted to alcohol. He put down his rice bowl and said, "Damn, no, I want to drink too. Bring me a cup!"

Chen Fusheng said:

"Driving and drinking can lead to death. Your majestic principal, do you have any common sense on this?"

Chen Fusheng snatched Cao Hui's wine glass away.

Cao Rui laughed while holding his stomach. Seeing that both of them were almost fifty years old, they were no different from twenty-year-olds when they were together. This was a really good relationship. They were casual with each other and didn't have to worry about anything.

Cao Rui said:

"Principal, drink up, I'll call the driver! I'll ask the driver to drive my car later, and I'll be responsible for driving your car to ensure your safety and take you home!"

Cao Hui was overjoyed and said:

"Chen Fusheng, look, the matter has been solved! If you want to play tricks to prevent me from drinking, there is no way, haha..."

Cao Hui took the wine bottle, poured himself a full glass, and drank half of it in one gulp:

"Holy shit, Chen Fusheng, this is Wuliangye. It's so stupid. Is the newspaper office so rich now? Are you drinking Wuliangye every day?"

Chen Fusheng chuckled. This bottle is the bottle of Wahaha mine water. The wine inside was poured by Cao Rui when he came over. Such a large bottle is equivalent to three bottles of Wuliangye.

Chen Fusheng drank a few times and now he still had more than a kilogram left. Cao Hui could taste it after one sip.

With good wine, good food, good scenery, and the right people, Chen Fusheng and Cao Hui chatted about the vast world, about going to the countryside to join the queue, about the customs, and the prosperous years of their era.

Then we talked about national affairs, education, local customs and customs. Anyway, it was all about imagination.

Cao Rui somewhat understood why the two had such a good relationship. Their common hobby was drinking, and they would talk nonsense after drinking. Most people really couldn't handle these conversations.

It is really difficult for a man to find a particularly suitable drinking partner in his life. The drinking capacity must be the same, and the key is the quality of the wine. People behave in various ways after drinking, some are noisy, some are quiet, some are sleeping, and some are crazy.

Chen Fusheng and Cao Hui drank all the wine anyway, finished all the dishes, and sang Tujia love songs at the end. Cao Rui could also drink, but he had never been so hearty. To be honest, he was a little envious.

At dusk, Liu Sheng came to help. Cao Rui packed up all the fishing gear and cooking utensils and got into the car. Liu Sheng drove Chen Fusheng in the Santana, while Cao Rui drove Cao Hui's Toyota.

Cao Hui gave the key to Cao Rui. After getting in the car, Cao Hui said:

"I'm not afraid of your jokes! As a principal, others talk about me as a prestigious person outside. In fact, everything I do is for feelings, and I don't gain much in my personal life.

My wife works in a bank and her salary is high, but we have to get a mortgage to buy this car. Any mining boss in Yongping County will buy many of these cars in a month. How can he compare with others? "

Cao Rui was stunned for a moment, thinking that this Principal Cao was fine when he was drunk, but he was like a mirror in his heart.

Generally speaking, Yong Ping, who can drive a Toyota car, really needs to be a big boss to be qualified, but Cao Hui drove such a car.

Yongping has many things to say about Cao Hui. He is really good at what he does. Yongping No. [-] Middle School has transformed from an ordinary middle school to what it is now, and he has made great contributions to his establishment.

But in life, Cao Hui is also famous for his food and drink, and his work style is relatively domineering. No. [-] Middle School is an institution with hundreds of faculty and staff, and the school has thousands of students. How can a person who is the leader have less money and water?

Cao Rui was acting as a substitute driver today. As soon as he got in the car, Cao Hui started crying. Cao Rui only listened to these words. How could he take them seriously?

Just when he was drinking, Cao Rui saw Cao Hui carrying a big bag from the car to Chen Fusheng. The big bag was full of good cigarettes, which Cao Hui usually collected. He didn't smoke, so he exchanged the cigarettes for He probably didn't think much of the little money he had, so he just threw it to his brother.
