As Chen Dainan expected, in just two days over the weekend, her four family members called her back and forth nearly 100 times and sent nearly 100 short messages, and it barely stopped on Monday's working day. Although there is still a lot of noise at night, the day is noticeably quieter. In addition, she is at the base during the day, and the old mobile phone is silent, and after having a new mobile phone, she can turn off the old mobile phone at night without any worries, but she is out of sight and out of mind.

However, before the phone was turned off at night, she would send several of the same text messages in a row: 'Don't remarry, don't change jobs!' as a response to them.

On Monday and Tuesday this week, there was only Chen Dainan at the base, and the rest of the friends couldn't spare time.

Chen Dainan soaked in the base for two days in a row, arrived before eight o'clock in the morning every day, and left at about six o'clock in the evening, dealing with all the things in the base alone, somewhat tired and tired.

At 6:15 a.m. on Wednesday morning, the phone alarm went off on time.

Closing his eyes and fumbling around to turn off the alarm clock, Chen Dainan pulled up the air conditioner in his arms and was blindfolded. At two or three o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden rainstorm, and the ping-pong noise made people unable to sleep well, and the temperature dropped significantly, and the coolness in the air could be felt between breaths.

This kind of weather makes people can't help but want to lie in bed, Chen Dainan slowed down for a while before getting up from the bed.

She is still the only one in the base this morning, and two friends will take her place in the afternoon. It just so happens that she has almost summarized the things about opening the store, and she can go home early in the afternoon to have more time and make a comprehensive comparison carefully.

She plans to pick three suitable areas, take a look at each of them, and then find the most suitable one.

Getting up and coming to the balcony, Chen Dainan subconsciously took a deep breath. The rain has stopped, and the gradual blooming of the sun on the horizon indicates that there will be good weather today.

Although it was a little late, Chen Dainan still arrived at the base before half past eight.

I was busy until noon, ate a bag of instant noodles, took a short rest, and began to take turns to take the dogs to the orchard.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the replacement partners arrived before and after.

Chen Dainan helped deal with some things, and didn't leave the base until three o'clock. Feeling a little hungry halfway through, looking out the window, I wondered whether to go straight home, or get out of the car to eat something and go to the supermarket and go back. His eyes wandered, and he suddenly saw a sugar water shop not far from the corner of the branch road that intersected with the main road, so he got up and got off at the next stop. Just looking at it on the bus, it's a little bit of a distance to get off the bus and walk back.

However, she was not in a hurry, and looked around as she walked. The residential area and the streets look old, but they are not very old.

The trunks of the trees planted on both sides of the road are relatively thick, and the branches have obviously been trimmed, and now they are lush and lush. A leisurely stroll along the shade of the trees is a pleasant feeling.

Chen Dainan traveled all the way to the sugar water shop she saw on the bus, the store was very small and almost not decorated.

The owner is an aunt in her fifties who is chatting with the old man at the herbal tea shop next to her.

Chen Dainan didn't bother them, walked into the store, looked at the menu posted on the wall, and asked for a room-temperature signature mung bean paste, a coffee fish ball, and a cheese bobo sausage.

At present, there is only one customer in the store, Chen Dainan, and the aunt quickly delivered the three things she ordered to the table.

Chen Dainan took a sip of mung bean paste, and the moment he entered it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised, and then he took a small sip and left it in his mouth to experience it carefully.

The shopkeeper's aunt turned around unintentionally while chatting, and saw Chen Dainan's obviously surprised expression after drinking the mung bean paste, so she couldn't help but smile and squint, and asked, "How is it?"

Chen Dainan smiled and nodded, "Well, it's fragrant and delicious." With that, he took another big sip.

The shopkeeper's aunt smiled even more heartily, and proudly introduced her sugar water, "My mung bean paste is an authentic Cantonese old sugar water, which contains mung beans, tangerine peel, lily, red sugar, eyebrow peas, and stinky grass, which is cool and nourishing." I've been opening a shop here for almost 20 years, and many of the children here have gone out to work, and every time they come back, they come to my place to drink a bowl of sugar water, and they all say that the sugar water outside is not as delicious and authentic as the sugar water I cook. ”

Chen Dainan ate and nodded in response.

The shopkeeper's aunt said a few more words to Chen Dainan, and then continued to chat with the old man at the herbal tea shop next to her.

Listening to the two chatting from all over the world, Chen Dainan inexplicably felt very calm and comfortable in his heart.

After eating, I was about to check out and leave, when several elementary school students suddenly came to the sugar water shop. The shopkeeper's aunt received a few young customers with a smile, and the tone of conversation with them was very familiar, obviously these elementary school students were regular customers in her shop.

Chen Dainan paid the money, came out of the sugar water shop, and observed the herbal tea shop next to it, she estimated that this herbal tea shop should have been open for nearly 20 years.

The business of the herbal tea shop is naturally not as good as the sugar water shop, and the customers come sporadically. But to be able to open in the same place for so many years, the quality of herbal tea should always be the same. Unlike some shops now, which are beautifully decorated, the price is on the high side, and it is almost useless to drink fake herbal tea.

Chen Dainan didn't want to go home for the time being, so he walked slowly along the street, and there was no direction, just a slow walk.

She likes the atmosphere of the old neighborhood and the old streets, which makes people feel at ease and comfortable. However, a small real estate agent along the street posted several shops of the right size and being transferred, and the prices exceeded her budget.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Chen Dainan continued to walk forward. When you see a zebra crossing, you cross the road and go back from the other side of the road in the direction of the main road.

When she was about to walk directly across from the sweet water shop, she noticed a very new transfer notice posted on the glass window of the shop selling stinky tofu and snacks diagonally opposite the sugar water shop. The snack bar is in the shape of a wide strip and is separated from the porridge and noodle shop next to it. The congee shop accounts for one-third of the façade, and this snack bar accounts for two-thirds, both of which are just plain clothes.

Smelling the smell emanating from the snack bar, Chen Dainan took out his mobile phone and planned to buy a stinky tofu to try. As soon as his fingers touched the fuselage, the mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he took it out, he saw that it was a call from Zheng Yingwen.

"Hey, Awen, what's the matter with me?"

"Sister Nan, are you free now? If you are free, let's have a cup of tea together. ”

Zheng Yingwen's background sounded a little noisy and very familiar.

Chen Dainan immediately recognized that Zheng Yingwen was still in the coffee shop. Thinking that he hadn't seen Zheng Yingwen for a while, he agreed, "Okay, where to drink?" By the way, she also wanted to ask Zheng Yingwen's opinion about the opening of the store.

"I'll send you a location on WeChat, and we'll meet directly at the door of the hotel. ”

"Okay. ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Dainan subconsciously took a photo and took a picture of the snack bar and the transfer notice. After that, open WeChat and click on the location sent by Zheng Yingwen. In order to save time, she searched the navigation on the map on her mobile phone, and finally chose the subway subway.

Chen Dainan and Zheng Yingwen arrived at the hotel almost at the same time.

As soon as Zheng Yingwen came from the taxi, she saw Chen Dainan get out of the taxi in front of her, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Sister Nan!" and decisively pounced on her and gave her a bear hug.

Chen Dainan was pounced on and stumbled two steps, patted Zheng Yingwen's back with a smile, and asked, "Why are you getting off work so late today?"

"Busy yarn, since you were fired, it's pretty much the same as usual. Zheng Yingwen pursed her lips, let go of Chen Dainan, and complained with an unhappy face: "Sister Nan, let me tell you, Lu Yingying is really a wonder, and when she took over the shift, she suddenly said that she wanted to have a meeting." But we are not in the company office, how can we all get together to listen to her talk about the world. After speaking, he took Chen Dainan's arm and the two of them entered the hotel together.

Following the welcome lady to the second floor, Zheng Yingwen asked the waiter to arrange a window for her and Chen Dainan, a quieter location.

After the two of them sat down, Chen Dainan continued the previous words and asked funny, "I have had meetings before, why didn't I see you have any opinions at that time?"

"You've been separated before, and you've talked about the same content twice. She brought everyone together to talk about it when she took over the shift, and she couldn't finish talking about a little thing for a long time. Zheng Yingwen continued to complain while picking up the menu and preparing to check it, and heard the waiter next to them asking what tea they wanted to drink, so she asked, "Sister Nan, what tea do you want to drink?"

Chen Dainan replied casually: "Flower tea." Then he pulled his phone out of his backpack.

Picking up the wipes that the waiter had just placed on her hand and sanitizing her hands, she looked around. It's not yet five o'clock, and the entire second floor is already two-thirds occupied, and if it's a little later, it is estimated that there will be a queue for a seat.

Wiped his hands, turned his head to look, and saw that Zheng Yingwen almost unthinkingly brushed and directly checked, and asked, "Do you often come here?"

"yes, basically every weekend, my parents and I come over. Zheng Yingwen glanced up at Chen Dainan, and continued to check the box while introducing, "Their shrimp emperor Jiao is very delicious, the shrimp are big and fresh, and many of these snacks on the menu are made by themselves." ”

Hearing this, Chen Dainan thought for a while and persuaded: "Don't order too much, just the two of us, we may not be able to finish eating." "The taste is good and the quality is guaranteed, which also means that the price should be higher than the average restaurant.

Zheng Yingwen didn't care, "It's okay, you can pack it if you can't finish eating." ”

Chen Dainan shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything more. It's rare to go out for tea with Zheng Yingwen once, but it's a big deal to wait for her to quietly buy the order.
