The wind in Meaux is a little warm even in winter, as if it can inexplicably calm people's minds.

Probably because of its location in the south, there is almost no snow here, and even sub-zero temperatures are rare, so it can be said to be a very comfortable place for a vacation. As a local resident, Ah Cai knows that this kind of small town will have no economy and no development, so all the pride of his hometown is placed on the water and soil, and he is proud of the winter in Meaux.

Summer in Meaux is so sticky that even if you don't do anything, just stay outside for a while to sweat all over your body. It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of local residents are given by air conditioners and electric fans, and if the whole city loses power one day, it will be a way to live.

And in inverse proportion to the unbearable heat of summer, it is the comfort of winter.

The sunny sky is cloudy and the sky is high, and there is a rare warm sun in the north, and the wisps of sunlight penetrate the warmth of the bones, shining along the broad-leaved thick branches to the bluestone slab path, adding a bit of antique elegance. Sparsely populated small towns always seem quiet, and no matter how hurried travelers arrive here, they will unconsciously slow down their pace, blend into this beautiful mountain and water, and enjoy this rare slow-paced life.

I don't know when those impetuous people seem to have suddenly discovered new pleasures.

Just as the development process of urbanization reaches a certain level, there will be reverse urbanization. At that time, people with a little family background were eager to build buildings and buy houses in the city center, so as to enjoy the convenience brought by the high economic development, and they were also happy to carry the overwhelming mortgage on their backs. Now the middle class with decent economic conditions are clamoring to leave the city center, and the location of their new homes is gradually moving to the periphery of the city, enjoying the so-called low-carbon minimalism, which is called a lifestyle, which is probably just another show-off.

These things often make Ah Cai find it difficult to understand.

It's like she couldn't figure out why she lived well in a small town back then, and their family of three was so happy and harmonious, but her father desperately wanted to leave here, and finally ended up with a broken family.

In this regard, Grandma just sighed deeply and told Ah Cai meaningfully.

"Things in the world, the most difficult thing to break is love, the most unpredictable is the human heart, when you grow up nature will know, now is not the time. But ...... Grandma wants you to understand, but she also hopes that you never understand. ”

Ah Cai listened to it ignorantly, and always felt that there was something in her grandmother's words.

But when she continued to ask, the old man refused to talk any further.

In the end, Ah Cai is just a young girl who has just come of age, and she doesn't have too deep feelings about the so-called love in the world. In addition, the more children who have changed in the family, the more sensible and delicate they are. Mom and Dad passed away early, over the years, Ah Cai and Grandma have relied on each other, and they are each other's only relatives, Ah Cai is afraid of making Grandma unhappy, since the old man is unwilling to say, he simply does not ask deeply.

Life in Meaux is too comfortable, and Ah Cai just wants to live here in peace. On weekdays, I accompany my grandmother and run this embroidery shop well, and I don't often make sachets and embroidery samples that I like in my favorite style, saying that I am making a living, but in fact, I am also making money by my hobby.

Although life is not very rich, it is enough to be satisfied compared to many people.

In a few years, find a good in-law's family, earn some living expenses with the men in the family, and respect the elderly more, so that you and your grandmother can live a good life, and you will be happier than those who are boring and sophisticated.

Perhaps because of his young age, although Ah Cai has never been to the city, he often sees those new things on the Internet, and there are roughly two representatives of contemporary human beings, and they become two extremes.

The first type is always willing to be at the forefront of the times, chasing all the touted trends, not going to non-popular tourist routes, not looking at non-well-known buildings, clamoring to go to "Internet celebrity stores" all day long to check in, even if the so-called Internet celebrity stores have nothing left but temporary freshness and high consumption, they are stunned to join in such a lively activity. The other type of people seem to be pretended to be elegant, there are always people who are curious will be attracted by the "original ecology", and they do not hesitate to find another way under the banner of returning to the basics, obviously there are open and good tourist attractions do not go, but they have to drill into the barren mountains and mountains, looking for the so-called peace and ease.

But they forget that mystery comes with all kinds of unpredictability.

It is precisely because of the lack of experience to grope that the roads leading to Rome are not taken, and if you have to be the first person to eat crabs, you will be bitten by crabs if you can't keep them.

When encountering an accident, having no experience to explore is the most terrible.

Because that means that there is no chance to even ask for help.

"So...... Human beings really like to be smart, and they feel very different, and they are proud of the so-called uniqueness there. As everyone knows, even the most basic awe is gone, and it is not far from being cocooned. ”

Ah Cai sighed like this countless times, and the emotions in her eyes were almost indifferent.

If anyone saw her at this time, they would be surprised.

Why does a girl who looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old have such an old-fashioned look, as if she has seen through the world. In fact, it is also the case, Ah Cai is like a strange contradiction, next year is very young, with a casual innocence and simplicity, but at some point, there is an independent indifference, calm to the point of almost cruelty.

That sense of conflict has become a unique temperament in her, which is disguised by the unique coquettishness of a girl, so that people will subconsciously feel that all the cruelty she inadvertently reveals is just an illusion.

As the New Year approaches, there are fewer and fewer tourists on Meaux's local street.

On weekdays, when the traffic is high, this alley is the busiest area in the whole of Meaux, and now it seems deserted. It's not uncommon for the shops on the street to be open for a whole day, but they don't even open, after all, there are so many tourists that don't expect a few customers to spend a lot of money.

After all, no matter how leisurely people are, at the end of the year, they always want to go home early and have a good year. Every year, the Spring Festival is crowded with people, and even overtime has to be strung out with annual leave for a few more days of vacation, not to mention just aimless travel and wandering around to experience the local customs.

In fact, these things are not difficult to understand, Ah Cai once heard her grandmother say a few years ago that it is precisely because some specific festivals always have indelible significance, so there is some hope for ordinary life.

Fortunately, the depression had no effect on the local population.

Most of the shopkeepers in the specialty street are local aborigines, and the small shop is not only their place of work, but also their daily residence. Although running a shop is the main source of income in daily life, as soon as the curtain is closed, the inside becomes a simple bedroom, and there is not much pressure to work while being self-sufficient. Especially at the end of the year, the big guys have no intention of working, they don't care about these scattered silver taels, half of them are preparing for the New Year's goods and half of them are looking at the stalls, and they can be regarded as happy and idle, thinking about having a good year.

But there are exceptions to everything, and the few exceptions are those who want to look at the store for a few more hours a day, and Baba waits for customers to come in.

Just like Ah Cai at this moment.

There are still few customers in the small shop of Ah Xiu embroidery, and Ah Cai sits in the shop boredly embroidering brocade handkerchiefs, ready to be used as a new item that will be launched in the store. But the more she embroidered, the more messy she became, and she looked like she couldn't calm down.

Probably because there are things that I am thinking about, my heart is in turmoil.

Ever since the last time she had met that gentle guest, the little girl seemed to suddenly know what to think. Ah Cai's parents died early, and Ah Cai almost never had contact with people outside, although there were many tourists coming and going, but those were passers-by who were not enough for her to take to heart, and she forgot about it when she turned her head.

However, Shen Chuanyuan is different.

Whether it was because of the yearning for that kind of life full of academics and rigor, or just because he was attracted by the temperament of that person, from the very beginning when he saw Shen Chuanyuan, Ah Cai felt that he was very special. After that, they kept in touch, and she also knew the name of the good-looking big brother.

The source of Shen Chuan, the history of mountains and rivers, can be traced back to its source, and it is indeed a person as his name suggests.

Because he gave Shen Chuanyuan a few exceptions in his heart, Ah Cai was more attentive to the things he asked him to do. On the second day of Shen Chuanyuan's departure, she deliberately closed the shop and returned to her hometown in the mountains, and showed her grandmother the photos left by the guests.

"How can you have these things?" Grandma, who has always been kind and kind-eyed, and has barely blushed with her, rarely has a serious expression, her words are not negotiable, and she directly bets back Ah Cai's words, "You can't touch these things, no matter how the guest finds them, don't contact him again, and you can't tell him the secret...... Remember?"

"Okay, okay, remember. ”

The little girl was clever and muttered a reply, and did not continue to ask questions.

But even so, Ah Cai still sent a text message to Shen Chuanyuan.

"That embroidery grandma has been done, when you are free, remember to come and pick it up." ”

Of course, the thing was not embroidered by grandma, but a semi-finished product that Ah Cai barely embroidered by taking pictures of cats and tigers in front of the photo. But even so, she still told a little lie, probably because she knew that if she didn't take this opportunity to trick Shen Chuanyuan to Xiangxi, the two of them would never have a chance to meet again.

But how can this be called a deception?

At that time, it was obvious that he said it himself when he was leaving, even if it was for the amulet he embroidered, he was willing to come here.

.......

"Will he come?"

The thoughts in her heart were too messy, Ah Cai muttered in a low voice, and frequently looked in the direction of the door.

The way a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl expresses her affection is always sincere and direct, with a naivety of ignorance of the world in her words and deeds, in a word, she can't wait to find every opportunity to meet the person she likes.

In fact, after digging deeper, Ah Cai has no more plans, and he doesn't even plan to tell Shen Chuanyuan about this ignorant good feeling, as long as he can give him his embroidered personal objects and watch him accept the talisman with his own eyes, he will be satisfied.

After receiving the text message from Ah Cai, Shen Chuanyuan's reply was very concise, only a concise and concise word "good". He didn't say anything more, and he didn't make it clear if or when he would come. If it were in normal times, Ah Cai would definitely have to think about it and talk to Shen Chuanyuan a few more words.

But this time, the little girl was probably a little weak-hearted, and just replied scribbly.

"I'll wait for you. ”

At this time, she felt a little regretful, she had already known to ask a few more words, and she was really anxious to wait like this.

Just when Ah Cai's heart was inextricably linked, the string of wind chimes with small bells hanging at the door suddenly rang.

The little girl raised her head expectantly, and sure enough, she saw the person she had been waiting for for a long time.
