When the spring rains have subsided and the new leaves of the tea trees emit a delicate fragrance, the lively folk songs of the tea-pickers can be heard everywhere.After nightfall, the smell of new leaves is so strong that in the darkness, the melody of the huqin drifts mesmerizingly.Everything seems to be full of vigor and vitality, a season full of tender green fragrance. However, Taiming also turned aside and ignored the change of seasons, and still just stayed in the study.He is a little skeptical about life.But I want to find the answer from the book.But Confucius, Sakyamuni, Christ, Kant, and Hegel could not give him an answer.So he floated in the world of this idea to that idea, living an empty life without purpose.And one day, after a few months of shutting himself out, he casually took to the streets.Those who passed him on the village road seemed to have forgotten him now, and did not show any special concern for him.This made him feel more comfortable.

Taiming's body has become much thinner recently, and he felt that his clothes were too loose. He paid attention to the feeling around his shoulders and walked to the street. He wandered from the street to the surrounding area of ​​the market.There are still many people on the street.He wandered aimlessly with the crowd. At this time, he suddenly heard someone calling from behind: "Hu Jun!Are you Hu Jun? Taiming turned around and saw that it was Teacher Huang Daiyong, a colleague from the public school days.Huang walked up to Taiming, shook hands with him and said, 'Ah, long time no see!Probably six or seven years! ' He looked longingly at Taiming's face.

His appearance had completely changed, and he looked like a gentleman. The two of them were pushed by the crowds on the street and couldn't stand there to talk, so they squeezed out the crowds and entered a noodle shop at the corner of the market.Huang said: 'Long time no see!Have a drink! He said happily, and ordered duck with winter vegetables and eight-treasure dish.After several rounds of drinking, he gradually became more talkative. He talked about the movement since the farewell.According to him, shortly after he left school in Taiming, he also left public school to work on a sugarcane farm.Huang was already socially savvy as well as practical, so his sugar cane farm continued to grow with the support of sugar companies.And now the farm is running smoothly.The conversation came to an end, and the topic shifted to the past of the public school days.While talking, Huang suddenly changed his tone and asked Taiming: "And Mr. Hu, what about you?"What now? ’ Taiming honestly told the recent situation, so he asked him: ‘Huang Sang, can your farm employ me? ' Taiming pretended to be joking and said this.Huang said: 'You came to my farm...is it true? Huang didn't believe it, but Taiming repeatedly expressed his intention.

'Uh?Is what you said true?Do you really mean it?You're not kidding me, are you? ' he asked. 'Actually, the accountant on the farm is short of manpower and it is troublesome. If you are willing to accept it, that would be great, and it will help me a lot! Taiming decided immediately. 'Please, let me do it! ''Really?Thank you so much! Huang was so happy that the joke turned into a fake, and he firmly held Taiming's hand.His unchanging friendship, Taiming, was almost weeping with joy.He put aside his little self-esteem, thinking that working on the farm with farmers as the target is also a very meaningful thing.Thinking of this, the haze that had accumulated in his heart for a long time seemed to clear up.The two hit it off so much that they couldn't help drinking a few more glasses. When they said goodbye, each other's feet were a little wobbly.
