migratory birds return to the forest

At night, Xu Fei couldn't sleep, he put on his clothes, sat alone in the dark and smoked a few cigarettes, only feeling stuffy in his heart.

Lin Min didn't touch Xu Fei when he turned over, and subconsciously wanted to turn on the light.

Seeing Lin Min's action, Xu Fei put out his cigarette and took his hand, "Brother, I just went to the bathroom."

"Well, come up, I'll warm you up."

When Xu Fei went to bed, Lin Min held him in his arms and asked, "Smoking?"

"Well, bored, I smoked one."

"Shut less, that's how grandpa's illness came about."

It was the first time Xu Fei heard Lin Min mention this, and when he remembered that Lin Min asked him to quit smoking, he understood what was going on.

He hugged him in his arms, "Okay, I'll smoke less."

Xu Fei usually has two faces. One moment he is serious and serious, and the next moment he can smile hippie.

In the following time, when he was alone, he spent more and more silent time, but when he was with Lin Min, he still had a playful smile and was out of shape.

Lin Min vaguely noticed something, but under the cover of Xu Fei's playful smile, he was quickly missed.

After another half month, Xu Fei remembered that several platforms had invited him to give online lectures.

He had refused before, but this time he wanted to try.

With the previous experience, he did not contact the platform directly this time, but contacted a landscape photographer who he was familiar with and was working as a photography teacher on the platform.

If landscape photographers were also divided into grades, then Xu Fei should be regarded as the top group of people, while the other party could only be classified as the third grade at best.

After all, those who really excel in this industry can earn much more than taking classes.

After figuring out why Xu Fei came, the other party was very puzzled, but he still expressed his willingness to let Xu Fei be a guest in his course to try online teaching for himself.

Xu Fei's reputation in the field of landscape photography can be said to be well-known, but half of the people who couldn't help but come to learn photography were stunned. Seeing that the teacher invited guests to come, they all asked who Xu Fei was.

Someone in the discussion area quickly replied: [No way, even Teacher Xu Fei doesn't know!He is the master of landscape photography in China!Internationally famous!I won many awards in the early years! 】

Xu Fei came prepared. He made a simple PPT with his biography on it. He was about to open the PPT when someone mocked in the comment section below: [What kind of person should I be? The great god from [-] lifetimes ago has been invited out. 】

[I have been paying attention to various awards at home and abroad for the past two or three years, and I have never seen him again.If you can't keep up with the times, you can't keep up with the times. What kind of skill is it if you won an award in the past, but if you have the ability to win an award now. 】

Xu Fei's eyes paused on this line for a moment, but he didn't say anything after all. Instead, he opened the PPT as usual and started introducing himself.

Xu Fei's resume is dazzling enough. Although there are occasional eccentricities like the classmate just now, most people are still very supportive.

However, when Xu Fei next talked about his professional knowledge in photography, the response from below was mediocre, and a bunch of people even chatted in the discussion area.

In the end, the other party took Xu Fei's words and hastily ended Xu Fei's guest appearance.

After the course ended, he sent a message to Xu Fei, [This time it was my mistake, I just read what you sent me and didn't ask specifically, I didn't expect you to talk so deeply. 】

[Brother Fei, what you said is indeed very good and applicable, but we students don’t have any foundation, if you just talk about the most basic things, they may not be able to accept it, you talk too deeply , they do not understand. 】

Xu Fei asked: [Then what do you usually talk about in class? 】

[Start from the basic operation of the camera...]

[The basic operation of the camera, isn’t it all written in the manual? 】

The other party couldn't help laughing after seeing Xu Fei's words, [Not everyone will read the manual, and not everyone can understand it, isn't this what we earn? 】

【How should I put this thing... Those who come out to learn photography must be novices with zero foundation, or just a little bit of contact, and there are more people who know little about this. 】

[If he already has a certain foundation, then he himself knows where there is a problem.If the color matching is not good, go to learn the color matching.If composition is not good, learn composition.If you can't do it in the later stage, go to the later stage. 】

【He already knows where he is lacking and what needs to be improved, so he finds the corresponding books to improve himself. There is no need for me to talk about it from beginning to end, right? 】

[The ones like that are actually more difficult to take. Think about it, these people who have the basics have their own understanding of photography and their own shooting style. They are not like Xiaobai. You can teach them how to do it. Listen, they will disagree with you and even question you. 】

[And since they are rushing to improve, and everyone wants to improve in a different direction, let alone a large class with thousands of people, it would be difficult to make up a small class with dozens of people.How can you make money in this situation? 】

【Brother Fei, I don’t know why you want to try to teach, but it’s fine if you try. What about suffering? 】

Xu Fei asked: [Is it all like this? 】

【Well, this kind of course is like this. There are classes every two months, and the content of each class is similar. 】

After a while, the other party asked: [Are you disappointed?Most people in the world are like this, very impetuous, shouting that they want to learn photography, but in fact, there are not many people who can seriously read the manual from beginning to end, let alone other photography books . 】

Xu Fei couldn't say he was disappointed, he just felt a little dazed.

The other party continued: [Isn't it good to do what you like?Just go out into the wild and take your photos. You don't know how much I envy you. 】

[There are too many people like me in the world, who have only one dream for nothing, and only one dream for the rest of their lives.No talent, no corresponding talent, no background, no money, nothing. 】

[We just have empty dreams like this, and we live like dogs all our lives, just to live. 】

[You have the ability to chase your dreams and live by them, why did you mix with us? 】

[Do you know how many people have tried their best and couldn't set foot on the altar for the rest of their lives? 】

[You are already one of the few people who can stand on the altar with your dreams, why do you want to step down from the altar? 】

Xu Fei didn't reply anymore.

why?

He did all this because he wanted to stay by someone's side.

More than a month has passed like this, and it has been more than three months since Xu Fei returned to Yanglin without knowing it.

The long winter passed, and spring came gradually.

Winter is always unfriendly to patients with emphysema, and in spring, Lin Zhengze coughs much less often.

At the beginning of March, the studio sent a message saying that a publishing house had approached, hoping that Xu Fei could write a book teaching landscape photography, and asked Xu Fei if he was interested.

In the past few years, Xu Fei has been focusing on photography itself. He has never paid attention to these activities or invitations, and he will not even ask. He only asks the studio to refuse them all.

Until two months ago, he asked the studio to keep an eye on these for him. If anyone found them, please send them to him without rejecting them.

The people in the studio thought it was a bit strange that the boss suddenly changed his attitude, but they didn't ask any more questions. Now that they were approached, they sorted out the specific situation and sent it to Xu Fei.

Xu Fei opened the document and looked at the specific requirements and remuneration of the publishing house.

Because Xu Fei is so famous, the people in the publishing house were very polite and only said that if Xu Fei was willing, they would only do a rough review here and would not limit the specific writing content in Xu Fei's books.

The remuneration given is not low, and once the follow-up books are published, there will be a corresponding share.

The longest thing Xu Fei has ever written since he was a child is an [-]-word composition. It is very difficult for him to write a book.

But regarding photography, he has indeed accumulated a lot of experience over the years, and he also has something he wants to share.

He hesitated for three days, and finally agreed.

The time given by the other party was very long, and Xu Fei had half a year to finish the book.

Xu Fei closed the computer, sat in front of the chair and smoked a cigarette.

Since he stands on a high ground, it is a good thing to write this tutorial and write down what he has learned over the years to benefit the younger generations.

But this matter can't last long. It is enough to write one or two photography books based on one's own experience.

What's next?

What else can he do in Yanglin?

Lin Min came after Lin Zhengze turned off the lights, and when he came, he saw Xu Fei smoking.

He looked at Xu Fei and asked, "Are you in a bad mood recently? You can tell me anything."

Xu Fei extinguished the cigarette, and stretched out his hand to Lin Min.

Lin Min took Xu Fei's hand.

Xu Fei held him in his arms and said with a smile, "There is a good thing."

"Ok?"

"A publishing house said they wanted to ask me to write a book about photography."

"I have been in this business for so many years, and many people who are not as good as me have published books. I haven't published a book seriously yet. I want to agree, but when I think about it, the longest thing I have written in my life is [-] characters. Composition, but my composition score is not high, I feel guilty, so I hesitated for a long time..."

Lin Min laughed and said, "Since this is the case, I will agree to it. You write it first, and I can help you modify it later if necessary. Besides, there are editors to check it out. Don't worry too much about it."

"Brother, you seem to be very experienced in this area?"

"It's not considered experienced, and I haven't published a book, but I have published papers in journals before, so I probably know something about it."

Xu Fei smiled and said, "Then I agree..."

"Ah."

"Brother, I feel that you are so powerful, you can do everything!"

Lin Min made Xu Fei want to laugh, "How could..."

The two of them chatted casually, and Lin Min was like this, once again being fooled by Xu Fei.

One day in April, Lin Zhengze looked at Xu Fei at the dinner table and asked, "You're not too young. Don't your family urge you to get married?"

Xu Fei narrowed his eyes and said, "My family members know about my situation, so don't rush me."

Lin Zhengze looked at Lin Min, "Xiao Xu's family is not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm already eighty this year, I don't know how many more years I can live..."

"Grandpa." Lin Min interrupted Lin Zhengze.

Lin Zhengze stopped talking about this, but said: "Yingying, the grandniece of your grandma Li's family, has been back these days. I have discussed with your grandma Li, let you meet and have a meal together."

"No grandpa, I'm busy in the store recently, I can't get away, and I don't have the idea of ​​starting a family for the time being."

Lin Zhengze frowned, "It's just a matter of having a meal. It won't take you long. If it doesn't work, you can also make an appointment at the restaurant next to the barber shop. You guys meet first to see if it suits you..."

"You always say that you haven't met the right one, and you don't have the idea of ​​starting a family. Year after year, now you are 33. Look at the people around you who are about the same age as you. Didn't they all get married a few years ago, and now the children are all There is."

Lin Min was silent.

Lin Zhengze turned to Xu Fei again and said, "Xiao Xu, do you think this is the case? You have to get in touch to find out if it's suitable. How can you know if it's suitable if you haven't even met face to face? "

Xu Fei clenched his chopsticks tightly.

Lin Zhengze continued: "When I was his age, his father was already in his teens..."

Lin Min and Lin Zhengze rarely mentioned Lin Min's parents at home, and their photos were not hung in a prominent place at home, for fear of hurting the scene, but this time Lin Zhengze made an exception to mention it.

Moreover, the old people also have a common problem with speaking, that is, once they recall the past, they will be a little bit unable to stop, and it is easy to say that they cannot stop for a long time.

In order to appease Lin Zhengze, Lin Min didn't say any strong words of rejection after all.

When Lin Min came to Xu Fei's room at night, Xu Fei looked at him and asked, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

"I won't go, I'll talk to grandpa later."

Xu Fei responded, and after a while he said: "Why don't you go and meet him, there's no need to confront grandpa, go and have a look, maybe the little girl looks pretty?"

It has been a few months since Lin Zhengze talked to him last time. Lin Zhengze said last time that he would not rush them and let him think about it. He really didn't say anything in the past few months.

Fortunately, Lin Zhengze was able to bear it and let him still live at home, watching the two of them go out together every day.

However, a few months have passed, and his patience has obviously worn out. Saying these words in front of him today is obviously hitting him.

Xu Fei had never encountered such a thing before, so he didn't know how to deal with it.

I just feel a little bored.

Lin Min held Xu Fei's hand, "I didn't mean that."

Seeing that Lin Min was nervous about him, Xu Fei put away his dullness and laughed, "Just kidding, if you really have a girlfriend, do you think I will beat you up."

Seeing Xu Fei like this, Lin Min relaxed a little.

Xu Fei said slowly: "But grandpa is getting old, I'm afraid it won't be good for you to stick to him. It's nothing if you go, just have a meal together, it's not a big deal, I won't be with you just because of this Noisy."

Lin Min and Xu Fei looked at each other.

Xu Fei pulled Lin Min over and kissed him, "I'm not even jealous, so what are you worried about?"

Xu Fei rubbed against Lin Min's leg with an unscrupulous look.

Lin Min didn't want to go on a blind date, but Lin Zhengze kept mentioning this matter for the next few days, and his mood was obviously depressed. Xu Fei advised him to deal with it first by having a casual meal, and he finally went to eat that meal as promised.

The place to eat is around the hairdresser's shop.

When the two of them went to eat, Xu Fei was standing downstairs in the restaurant, smoking one cigarette after another.

He thought it might take an hour to come out, but after only ten minutes, the girl left first, and Lin Min followed him downstairs.

At this time, it seems impossible to finish a meal.

Lin Min looked at Xu Fei who was standing downstairs, and knew what was going on. He hugged Xu Fei into his arms.

He thought that Xu Fei understood him, thought that Xu Fei really didn't take it to heart when he said nothing was wrong, only now did he realize that Xu Fei was disturbed and he made Xu Fei uncomfortable.

So he felt distressed.

Xu Fei's uncomfortable feeling faded now, and he asked curiously, "Why so fast? You just told her you were gay when you came up, and made her run away in anger?"

"No……"

Lin Min wanted to do this, but he still hesitated, fearing that the words would directly reach Lin Zhengze's ears.

"Then what?"

"I said that I have no idea of ​​getting married, and she said that she also only wants to fall in love first."

"I said later that the barber shop is very busy and tiring, and I don't have time for love. She said she could understand and accept it."

When Xu Fei heard it, good guy, what a virtuous and sensible girl this is.

"What then?"

Lin Min looked troubled, "I said later that I was not in good health."

Xu Fei immediately laughed, "You said you wouldn't lift it? Then?"

"She said she could go to the hospital with me."

Xu Fei burst into a 'puchi' laugh, this girl is really a wonderful person, "And then?"

"I said I already had a date, but my family didn't agree, so I was forced to come here."

What Lin Min said was not a lie. He and Lin Min were indeed dating, and it was clear that his family disagreed.

He then asked: "Then the girl ran away because of your anger?"

"Then I apologized to her, and she accepted it. I proposed that I pay for the meal, and she agreed. She said that since I have no show here, there is no need to eat, and she went to meet the next blind date. "

On the contrary, she has a hearty personality. I guess she was really moved when she saw Lin Min at the beginning, otherwise she would not have expressed her willingness to understand when Lin Min used not wanting to get married and being busy at the beginning as prevarications.

But later, when Lin Min said that he already had a date, she quickly stopped pestering her, accepted Lin Min's apology graciously, and left.

Not to mention anything else, as far as this girl's temperament is concerned, Xu Fei appreciates it very much. I hope her next blind date will go smoothly.

Afterwards, the girl was also very considerate of Lin Min. She didn't say that Lin Min was bad, but that she didn't feel good after getting along. Lin Min also gave similar words. Although the parents of both parties felt sorry, they didn't say anything more. It's over like this.

But Xu Fei found that Lin Min treated him better after this incident.

Xu Fei knew that Lin Min probably felt guilty towards him.

During this period of time, he also felt that he had been wronged, so he accepted all of Lin Min's connivance.

He is not a saint, so if he is wronged, he will of course seek compensation from Lin Min.
