A year later, Lijiang, China. Relaxation

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the wet path was already crowded with pedestrians, some with umbrellas, and some walking in the drizzle.

The sound of drumming and hawking is endless, accompanied by the sound of good music.

This is located in the most prosperous row of small shops in the square street of Lijiang Old Town, a handmade knitting shop, tall and thin figures are busy among the customers crowded in the store, some people ask the price of hats from time to time, and ask the price of shawls from time to time.

"Hostess, how much is this scarf? Oak"

"Seventy-eight."

"Boss, is there any other color for this hat?"

"Yes, there are blue ones, wait a minute, I'll get it for you right away~ Fu"

The thin and busy figure turned around and walked quickly into the warehouse room behind, took out his hat from inside, and came out to continue to entertain the guests who entered one after another.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier outside, and after nearly an hour of busyness, there were finally fewer pedestrians on the square street, which should have been more and more lively on weekdays, and the knitting shop was no longer as busy as before, except for three or two customers trying on hats and shawls next to them.

The lean and tall proprietress put away some of the shawls that had just been messed up by the guests and hung them back on the wall one by one.

There was the sound of footsteps entering the store behind her, and she habitually turned around and smiled, "Welcome." ”

But when she saw the person coming clearly, the smile on her face stagnated slightly, and then turned soft, a little surprised, but the surprise did not appear: "Why are you here?" ”

Lin Qicheng smiled, put the umbrella in his hand aside, walked into the shop, looked around, and after a while, those guests who were just casually shopping left, looking for a place to shelter from the rain, and only the two of them were left in the store.

"It's rare for our hospital to organize a group trip, so we chose Lijiang, but we don't have a guest house, a hotel on the side of the big water truck. He said that you have opened a shop here on Sifang Street, and I have just been looking for a long time before I found your shop that is not very remarkable, but it seems that the business is not bad. Lin Qicheng walked over with a smile.

Gu Yufei knew that the "he" in Lin Qicheng's mouth was referring to Lin Qifan, she smiled lightly, and went to the warehouse to get a plastic chair over: "My shop is too small, I usually don't take out the chairs, otherwise there will be no place for guests to stay, this chair is the only one in my store, you can sit down." ”

Lin Qicheng was not polite, when he sat down, he glanced at the set of weaving tools in front of her shop, and couldn't help laughing: "You are really self-reliant, you really learned this thing." ”

"Of course, if you don't do your own handiwork, but go to buy goods, where is there such a big profit. Even if I am a small shop and a small business, I can't compare to a group as big as Gu's, but making money is the same thing, I must make the greatest profit as much as possible, otherwise why open a store? Gu Yufei smiled, poured some hot water into the disposable water cup, walked over and handed it to him: "Drink some water, the food and drink sold outside here are not clean, if you are thirsty, it is more practical to come to me to drink some boiling water." ”

Lin Qicheng took the water cup and put it on the small wooden platform next to her, not drinking, just watching her turn around and skillfully fold those shawls into various good-looking shapes and then fix them to the wall with pins.

"At that time, you said that you wanted to find a small town in the south and live a secluded life from now on, away from shopping malls, away from those rights and wrongs, to find the life you want." Lin Qicheng stood up, walked over, looked at the room full of knitted handmade items of various colors, and said with emotion: "Yufei, is this the life you want?" ”

Gu Yufei's hand paused, and after hanging the last shawl, he glanced back at him.

"What? Do you think it's bad for me to be like this? She asked rhetorically, then smiled softly.

"In fact, I used to yearn for this place in Lijiang, at the beginning I felt that it was like a paradise, a small town, an ancient town, and those small bridges and flowing waters, and those people full of talent, but life is like this, sometimes many things are different from what we have heard and imagined. When I arrived, I realized that this once paradise had been commercialized, with tourists, indifferent vendors, and unclean water and food...... But anyway, I still like it here, although the outside world is not quiet enough, but as long as my heart is peaceful, in such an antique town, there are not so many deceits, every day, only a few to dozens of bargains and those tourists with yearning on their faces, I think it's good. ”

Gu Yufei said as he turned his head to look outside: "If you don't come, I'll almost forget." Now that I do the math, it seems like it's been a year. ”

Gu Yufei liked that kind of quiet life when he was very young, without interference and disturbance from outsiders, only living in his own world, accompanying the people he cared about, and staying together for a lifetime. This is the love and life she longed for when she was a teenager, but at that time, in the Gu family, her studies and Wen Qing, as well as the pressure exerted on her by her grandfather and father, made her finally leave in a negative mood and chose to go to the United States.

A woman who didn't like to be quiet gradually learned to stand in the mall and become a strong woman, from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of orders, and those profits of millions and tens of millions almost edified her world no longer so realistic.

And a year ago, because of those things, she finally woke up and finally decided to let go of everything, and it was as if she had found herself.

"Down-to-earth."

Yes, down to earth.

She also said so, and then looked back at Lin Qicheng, who had been looking at her, with a smile: "Actually, if I hadn't occupied the position for so many years, Lin Qifan would have been the new master of the Gu family a long time ago, and I can be regarded as giving way, not to mention that my brother also trusts him very much?" Although I don't ask much about these things now, sometimes when Lin Qifan calls 1 call, I can feel that everything is fine and everything is fine now. ”

Her presence or not, where she is, there are many times, it really doesn't affect others too much.

Lin Qicheng smiled, and was about to say something, when the umbrella he was standing at the door when he just entered the door was blown by a gust of wind and suddenly fell to the side, as if it had fallen in front of the store in Linjia.

At this time, a shout suddenly came from next door: "Oops! Whose umbrella is this! Got all the skirts in our shop wet! Who's it? ”

With the scolding, a slightly chubby middle-aged woman hurriedly walked over with a black face and an umbrella, with an expression of wanting to find someone to settle accounts, when she looked at Gu Yufei, there was an expression of disgust on her face, and then when she saw the man next to her, she immediately pouted: "I said, the little boss surnamed Gu, you can't get used to our family so much?" Isn't it true that our family has recently started to buy some shawls to sell? If you think we've robbed you of your business, you can say that we're all in business, and we're neighbors, so what's not to say? Why do you do this kind of thing, and get the new skirt in our store dirty, do you know how much that skirt costs? I can sell it for more than 300 yuan~ Now I'm wet and dirty by this umbrella in your store, how do you think this counts? ”

Gu Yufei was just about to speak, but Lin Qicheng stopped her, walked to the door and took the umbrella from the woman's hand, and said with a smile: "This ...... Aunt? Looking at the woman in front of him, who was actually thirty-seven or eighteen years old, but looked like she was almost fifty years old, he grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and when she glared at him unhappily because of his title, he said, "The skirt of your store is so expensive?" If you get wet in the rain, you have to accompany the loss? I don't even have a chance to apologize, and I have to settle accounts when I come over? What kind of neighbor is this? ”

"Where did you come from, kid? I thought it was a tourist~" The woman pursed her lips without cutting her lips, and turned her head to glare at Gu Yufei: "Could it be the man you just found?" Ouch~ I'll just say, you're young and living here alone with children, and sooner or later you're going to be by men~"

"How do you speak?" Lin Qicheng immediately turned cold.

"Whoa, whom, are you yelling to?" The woman suddenly shouted, "I haven't screamed yet, you umbrella has soiled our dress!" Tell me, how do you settle this account? The surname is Gu, you girl, don't think that you can ask for sympathy from your orphans and widows, everyone says that you killed your husband and came to Lijiang to hide, or you were dumped by a man, and you had a child out of wedlock, we usually don't bother to laugh at you, now that you have found a man again, how do you say that we have a dress? In this way, instead of more than 300 yuan, you can give me 280 yuan! Count your money! ”

As soon as Lin Qicheng was about to speak, Gu Yufei walked over directly, and the look he gave him was telling him to leave it alone. Then he glanced lukewarmly at the door of his store, then walked around to the door of the neighbor's store, and glanced at the skirt that was hung at the door, because it was not collected in time, and had already been wet in the rain, and then turned his head, smiled paradoxically, and looked at Lin Qicheng who wanted to stand up for himself, and then looked at the tooth and claw, the proprietress who had been finding fault with herself every day since she first moved here.
