"Oh..." Lao Li gave me a casual look: "something big happened Or right now Is it a big thing? "


    "Yes Big things, not just over there, including Yangon Including Xinghai, there may be big things, big things. " I heard my voice a little nervous.


    "Oh..." Lao Li said again: "big things happen everywhere. Every day in the world, many things are big things for some people It doesn''t seem to be a big deal It''s not strange to see so many... "


    With that, Lao Li began to drink tea leisurely, looked at the sky outside and said to himself, "ah, it''s a beautiful day today. The crabs in autumn are very fat. We shouldn''t sit here drinking tea, we should go fishing for crabs."


    I looked at Lao Li with an unexpected look. It seemed that Lao Li was not interested in what I said. It seemed that he didn''t even ask me what kind of event I was going to have.


    I thought that as long as Lao Li continued to ask, I would tell him everything, but he didn''t mean to ask at all.


    He didn''t ask, and I didn''t want to say it. It didn''t do him any good to be scared.


    "Or shall we go fishing for crabs?" I said.


    "Now that we''ve been sitting here drinking tea, we''d better not go. Another day." Lao Li laughs: "it''s rare that my son has filial piety. It''s rare that my son has leisure to accompany me to go fishing for crabs..."


    I grinned.


    "Since you seldom have free time today, please accompany me this morning Don''t go anywhere, just have tea here. " Lao Li said.


    I kept complaining in my heart, but I could only nod: "OK."


    "How''s your work and life recently?" Lao Li said.


    "Good It''s OK I said.


    "How can it be done?" Lao Li said.


    "It''s no problem, but it''s not bad..." I said.


    "It''s going well at work and happy in life?" Lao Li said.


    "Yes." I said, "make do."


    "Make do? How can we make do with it? Make do is not a life Lao Li laughed again.


    I laughed silently.


    "Xiao Ke, I think you are still upset..." Lao Li said.


    "No..." I said.


    "I think so." Lao Li said.


    "Since you are a stubborn old man, you must insist on your own opinion, I won''t argue!" I said.


    "Hey, hey..." Lao Li laughed and said, "Xiao Ke, do you think I''m stubborn?"


    I said, "a little bit."


    Lao Li said, "only when people are old can they become more and more stubborn. Do you mean I am old?"


    I said, "do you feel young?"


    "At least I don''t think I''m really old. At least I think my heart is young," Li said


    I said, "then you just keep pretending."


    Lao Li said, "how can you talk? Can you talk to your father like that? Where do I pretend to be young? "


    I couldn''t help laughing: "what do you say?"


    Lao Li said, "I don''t pretend to be young anywhere."


    I looked at Lao Li, silent for a moment, said: "Lao Li - do you really want me to call you dad?"


    Lao Li nodded: "yes, I really want to. I dream about it."


    I said, "then keep dreaming."


    Lao Li''s eyes flashed a little bit of loss and said, "son of a bitch, make fun of your father Come on, father -- "


    " Lao Li -- "I said.


    "Call Daddy!"


    "Lao Li."


    Lao Li sighed: "Alas You son of a bitch I''m more stubborn than your father I''ll tell you, you can''t afford to call my father. "


    I said, "I didn''t want to take advantage of you."


    Lao Li suddenly laughed: "then if I want you to occupy it?"


    "I won''t take it either!" I said.


    "Hey, hey..." Lao Li laughed: "boy, I''m afraid you can''t help it then..."


    "What does that mean?" I said.


    "It''s not interesting." Lao Li gave a strange smile.


    I was a little confused, looking at Lao Li: "I tell you, Lao Li, I have no idea of taking advantage of you when I associate with you. Otherwise, it will desecrate our friendship."


    "Of course, I understand that. Otherwise, I won''t play with you. Otherwise, I won''t take advantage of you." Lao Li said with a smile.


    I shook my head: "I don''t seem to understand what you mean."


    "Sooner or later you''ll see what Dad means." Lao Li laughed.


    After chatting and laughing with Lao Li for a while, Lao Li said: "Xiao Ke, I think you''re in an unstable state of mind now..."


    I said: "I am young, unstable state of mind is normal, if I have you so stable state of mind, then I really old."Lao Li shook his head: "the state of mind is stable, and there is no inevitable relationship between age."


    I said: "then you say, how can we exercise a calm mind?"


    Lao Li said, "at least, you should not be surprised."


    "What''s not to be surprised?" I said.


    "I''ll tell you first, no one can really deal with things without surprise. Everyone will jump and jump when they encounter things. Of course, idiots are more powerful What we need to do is not to be surprised. We should try our best to suppress the excitement or panic or tension in our mind, so that it does not appear in the external expression or action. It is better to act as if nothing happened. The so-called Mount Tai collapses in front of us without changing its face. That''s what it looks like Of course, although some people don''t change their face, they can''t figure out what they''re nervous about. " Lao Li said.


    "Are you talking about me?" I said.


    "Did I say you?" Lao Li asked me.


    I laughed: "do you think I''m nervous now?"


    "You have to ask yourself But I can tell you one thing: only through the harsh practice can we build a strong mind. "


    I can''t help nodding: "you''re right."


    "So, Xiao Ke, no matter what happens, first tell yourself to be calm and think calmly Don''t let yourself be impulsive at any time. Impulsivity is the devil... " Lao Li said with a smile.


    I nodded again: "well..."


    "What''s more, don''t force or embarrass yourself about the things that happen around you that you can''t change. You should put your mind in order and have an objective and correct understanding of yourself." Said Lao Li.


    I looked at Lao Li. His words seemed to have some meaning, but they seemed very vague.


    He seemed to know what I was thinking, but he didn''t tell me.


    I couldn''t help thinking about what Lao Li said


    After tea, we went downstairs to break up.


    Xinghai autumn noon sun, very bright.


    Lao Li''s car was parked on the side of the road, and there were two expressionless black suit flat headed boys standing by.


    Lao Li went to the car and the young man opened the door.


    But Lao Li didn''t go in. Instead, he took something and came to me. It was a very well wrapped box.


    Lao Li gave me the box: "Xiao Ke, here you are."


    "What is this?" I said.


    "I don''t know. It''s Xiaoyu who sent it from the United States and asked me to hand it over to you." Lao Li said quietly.


    "What? It''s from Xia Yu. It''s for me? " I was stunned and looked at Lao Li. The long lost summer rain finally got news, and sent me something.


    "Yes." Lao Li nodded, gave me the things, and then got on the bus and left.


    Looking at Lao Li leaving, I stood there in a daze and weighed the box in my hand. It was not heavy and I didn''t know what was inside.


    Full of doubts, a little bit of inexplicable curiosity and a little bit of excitement, I went to a small square nearby, sat on a chair beside the square, and slowly opened the carton in the autumn noon sun


    Peel off several layers of wrapping paper, open the last layer of red silk, a group of colorful clay dolls appeared in front of me.


    Three connected clay dolls, two big and one small, big on both sides and small in the middle. The one on the left is a man, and the one on the right is a woman. The man''s face is melancholy, handsome, and looks a little like me. The woman is lively and beautiful, smiling, and looks like summer rain. In the middle is a fat boy with a red belly pocket, grinning, and there is a chicken underneath


    The three clay dolls have different expressions, but their expressions are vivid and exquisite.


    I carefully looked at the three clay dolls, which were sent from the United States by summer rain across the ocean.


    There is a warm feeling in my heart, I don''t know how the summer rain is now? She''s still thinking about me


    There was also a fairly folded letter in the box. I took it out and opened it.


    Xia Yu''s handwriting.


    I put the clay doll away and began to read Xia Yu''s letter.


    "Er ye: Er Nai has written to you. I''ve been in the United States for so many days. I miss you very much. I miss you very much. I don''t want to contact you through other ways. I think it''s better to write a letter.


    "I haven''t written a letter by myself in N years. In N years, you are the first person I wrote a letter to. It''s my honor. No, hee hee This is a letter I wrote to my beloved. I hope you can read it and keep it


    "I know that the second master must miss you very much. I want to know if I am well in the United States. I report that the second master and the second wife are all very well in the United States, except that they miss you so much that they often have no sleep in the middle of the night.


    "These days, in addition to accompanying my aunt, I went to a nearby Chinese art workshop to learn how to make clay dolls. Did you see the three clay dolls I made? I made them myself Do you understand these three clay dolls? The man is you, the woman is me, the one in the middle, hee hee It''s our future Xiaoke. Let''s see. Is Xiaoke as cute as you were when you were a childSeeing this, I couldn''t help laughing. Xia Yu is so capable of creating a small Ke Ke out of thin air. She and I are far away from each other. How can there be a small Ke Ke? No matter how powerful I am, brother Zhu can''t cross the Pacific Ocean. How long can it be?
