Chapter 9: Renewal

Liu Junyan, who was lost for a short time, took a car and returned home smoothly.

Liu Junyan, as usual, lay on the rocking chair and stared at the old locust tree in a daze.

In the more than a month since I returned to Shudu, I will always be like this when I have nothing to do.

Liu Junyan looked at the old locust tree stupidly, and said a lot of words to himself.

"Over the years, I have traveled all over the country and checked all the information, and there is very little information about immortality in this world. ”

"There are few records of immortality, let alone a way to crack it. ”

"It seems that there is no one in this world who can live forever. ”

"Maybe I'm the only one in this world who is immortal!"

"Sometimes I think that maybe there is no such thing as immortality. ”

"Maybe I'll just live a little longer, maybe I'll die someday, but the time hasn't come yet. ”

"Forget it, don't think about it, just let it be. After all these years, I'm tired of this life, I'm tired. ”

"Looking back on these decades, I have lived without any emotion, as if I lived on instinct. ”

"I'm almost forgetting that I'm a human being, a man of flesh and blood, with seven emotions and six desires. ”

"I've figured it out, if you're immortal, then you'll be immortal, whatever. ”

"From today onwards, I want to live like a person again. ”

After Liu Junyan said all this, the sorrow that Meiyu had hidden for decades before gradually disappeared.

As the sorrow dissipated little by little, the temperament of his whole body also changed, and he no longer looked so cold, but became as warm as bathing in the sun.

In just a few seconds, Liu Junyan underwent earth-shaking changes, and the whole thing seemed to be reborn.

It's a good feeling!

Liu Junyan's face was full of sunshine and let out a sigh.

……

Zhao Ayaxuan has been busy in the store until more than 10 o'clock, and there are fewer and fewer customers in the store, and there are not many people coming to eat breakfast after this point, and the store will not be too busy.

Zhao's mother told her not to help, go back first.

Zhao Ayaxuan's family lives in an old neighborhood built in the 90s in Shudu, and most of the whole street is 2.3-storey old houses, which look dilapidated compared to the high-rise buildings on the next street.

The old neighborhood is as good as the old neighborhood, and the relationship between the neighbors for more than 10 years is very deep. If there is a difficulty or something in every household, the neighbors will do their best not to say anything, and those who have money will contribute and make a strong contribution.

Although there will be a little conflict and small quarrel occasionally, the next day will be as usual and kind and good-mannered.

The old neighborhood was included in the shed reform plan a few years ago, and it was called for demolition for several years, but there has been no movement.

The conditions of the residents living in the old neighborhood are not very good, although they are reluctant to have more than 10 years of neighborhood feelings, but considering the actual conditions of their own families, who do not want to live in the new community, who does not want to have a good environment for their children.

At first, families in the old neighborhood looked forward to demolition, so that each family could get a generous demolition fee to improve their home conditions.

Later, there was less and less news about the demolition, and the residents of the old neighborhood gradually stopped counting on it.

Zhao Ayaxuan's family conditions are not too good, her parents were laid off early, at the beginning, the two parents were in the old neighborhood, opened a wall of their house, opened a commissary, relying on the care of neighbors, the commissary business was not bad, and slowly saved some money.

Later, the parents discussed, took out the savings they had saved, bought a small store on the breakfast street, and opened a breakfast shop. One of the two is in charge of the commissary, and the other is in charge of the breakfast shop. Relying on the income of the two stores, life is quite rich, and it is more than enough to be less than the top.

Zhao Ayaxuan had just entered the block, and the neighbors who sat on the side of the street chatting and passing the time greeted each other in a few words.

"Ayaxuan, just came back from your mother's shop?"

"Ayaxuan, when does school start?"

"The daughter-in-law of the old Zhao family will give birth, you see that Ayaxuan looks like a fairy, and her academic performance is good, she was admitted to a key university this year, and she will not worry about finding a good job after graduation. ”

"My girl has half of Ayaxuan's love of learning, and I will be satisfied. ”

"Since Ayaxuan was admitted to Shudu University, Lao Zhao has walked with a tiger, and he is proud. ”

“……”

Zhao Ayaxuan smiled like a flower and answered the questions of the neighborhood one by one.

"Ayaxuan, Auntie, please ask you for something. A woman about 40 years old walked over and shook Zhao Ayaxuan's hand.

"Aunt Wang, you say. Zhao Ayaxuan said politely.

"My Xiaodong is in the third year of junior high school this year, and he has not done well in mathematics. Aunt Wang wants him to be admitted to the first high school entrance examination, but she is worried that he will not be able to do well in mathematics, and Aunt Wang wants you to help him tutor mathematics when you are free, do you think it?"

"Okay, Aunt Wang, don't worry, Xiao Dong has been playing with the back of my ass since he was a child, can I still help him. Zhao Ayaxuan smiled and agreed happily.

"Okay, Aunt Wang watched you grow up, Aunt Wang knows that you are a good child, I thank you for Xiaodong in advance. Aunt Wang patted Zhao Ayaxuan's hand held by her, and she was overjoyed.

"Aunt Wang, I'll go home first. ”

"Okay. ”

Bidding farewell to the neighborhood, Zhao Ayaxuan walked back to her commissary with steps.

At the counter of the commissary sat a middle-aged man with a little gray hair, the man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a plain face, and the man looked down and counted the change.

"Dad, I'm back. Zhao Ayaxuan shouted happily.

"Ayaxuan, I'm back. Lao Zhao raised his head and put the change in his hand into the drawer.

"Mom's side will be busy in a while, and she will come back when she finishes cleaning up. ”

"Hey, that's hard work for your mother. A few days ago, I told your mother that the business of the commissary has not been very good in the past two years, and I thought that I would simply close the commissary, and I would go to the breakfast shop to help her share a little, but your mother was unwilling. Say that you are in college, and it is the time to use the money, and the commissary can earn a little is a little. Lao Zhao sighed and said.

"Dad, you and Mom have worked hard all these years. A layer of mist surged up in Zhao Ayaxuan's eyes.

"Silly child, what are you crying about, as long as you are angry, your parents will be fine if you work hard. Lao Zhao wiped away the tears from Zhao Ayaxuan's eyes, raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "However, you girl is angry this time and was admitted to Shudu University, you don't know, the neighbors are very envious, your father walks every day." ”

Zhao Ayaxuan burst into tears and laughed, "Dad, how can it be so exaggerated." ”

"What do you little girl know, look at our street, none of them have been admitted to key universities. Lao Zhao said and walked straight into the back kitchen, "You look at the store outside, I'll go in and cook, cook something delicious tonight, and you will go to school tomorrow." ”

"Alright, Daddy. ”

Zhao Ayaxuan didn't sit down for a long time, and she couldn't help but think of the painting she met in the morning, what kind of person Liu Junyan was, he was not very old, but he always felt that he had been weathered and saw through the red dust.

This world is so small, he will be Xitong's teacher, hehe, tomorrow when Xitong knows, his expression will definitely be very exciting.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ayaxuan secretly laughed.
