Chapter 199: Night, Alone

The turnover of one day is calculated, including drinks and other goods, nearly 20,000 yuan is in the account. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is already quite a lot for a newly opened small store.

Seeing Ran Qing's settlement results, Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then took the account book and calculated it carefully by himself. After confirming that it was correct, Chu Feng couldn't help laughing.

"The first day was good, but you have to be careful to get by. After all, when a new restaurant opens, there are many curious diners who come to try it. After this trend, there may be a period of downturn, after which the business will gradually stabilize, and then you can see how much the store has a daily turnover. Okay, you're tired from a day today, so let's go eat and rest with everyone for a while. ”

Not blindly optimistic, Chu Feng put down the ledger and locked the cash register, and beckoned Ran Qing to go to dinner together.

A group of chefs and employees in the store, as well as Li Laoqi and others, were also waiting for the two principals to eat together, so it was not good for everyone to wait too long.

Seeing that Ran Qing was still a little stupid, Chu Feng pushed her towards the dining table.

"I didn't lie to you, did I? If you continue to manage it well, your life will always get better day by day. When the business in the store stabilizes these days, I may have to travel far away, and the business of the store will be left to you. These days, I take a look and find you a suitable place to rent nearby, saving you from going back and forth, and it is inconvenient. ”

The relatives and friends who came to congratulate today also gave a lot of gifts, and Chu Feng also had about 60,000 yuan in his account after a little rough calculation. This money must be saved well for the daily operation expenses of the store.

Now that he has his own business faΓ§ade, Chu Feng is careful when he lives.

The daily operation and maintenance of the store requires expenses, and the salaries of the employees below are also used for money. Considering some unexpected situations, it is always better to prepare more funds and money.

After a busy day, everyone's hard work is in their eyes. At mealtime. Chu Feng personally poured tea and served wine for everyone and rewarded the employees.

The night is getting deeper, and the lonely street lamps on the street drag the shadows of lonely passers-by for a long time. Occasionally, one or two speeding cars blew through a gust of cold wind, and the plastic fallen leaves on the road flew out of the way in a swirl before tumbling and falling.

These days, Ran Qing has been staying in the hotel by Shu Shiwan. Considering that the store would have to take people to the vegetable market to buy meat and vegetables early tomorrow morning, Chu Feng and Ran Qing were finally busy in the store, and Chu Feng sent Ran Qing back to the hotel where Shu Shi lived.

Because the distance was not far, the two of them walked slowly to the hotel with the cash from the store today.

Some were silent, and slowly walked beside Chu Feng. Holding the bag with the cash bulging in her arms, Ran Qing thought about her thoughts.

Chu Feng put his hands in his trouser pockets, lowered his head and kicked the pebbles on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't take the initiative to say anything to Ran Qing.

Ran Qing, who is not very good at taking the initiative to speak to people, was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice.

"You're going to go far away, such a big store, can I be busy alone......

"You haven't opened a store before and done this kind of business, and today it's not in good order?"

Ran Qing's hesitant words were not finished. Chu Feng seemed to already know what she was going to say. The words rang out, so that Ran Qing couldn't say the rest of the words.

"This man, learn to look forward. Something you never seem to have tried to do, something you don't think you can do. It's like a hidden door. When you don't do it, you feel like you don't have the ability to do it, you can't succeed. But when you really try to learn to do it, you will find out. Sometimes success is not as difficult as you think. It's just a hidden door, and you push it lightly. And he opened. But if you keep hesitating and holding back, you never know if you will be able to open a new door and find a new way out. ”

The pebbles under his feet rolled a long way and came to a stop next to the roadside flower bed. Standing under the dim street lamp, Chu Feng looked up at the few lights and windows on the side of the road, and said softly.

"Where are you going? How long will it take to come back? ”

I felt that Chu Feng's words didn't seem to be completely explaining to himself, but more like some of his feelings. Standing behind Chu Feng, watching the street lamps in the middle of the night drag Chu Feng's shadow to the ground.

Ran Qing felt that Chu Feng was like a lonely night man, as if he had nowhere to go, walking alone on the lonely road of the night, and would disappear at any time under the corner of the night, like duckweed.

"I went to the navy snow field, picked up some things and came back, it may take about half a month. Relatives and friends around you, no matter how good the relationship is, cannot accompany you for a lifetime, nor can they be by your side 24 hours a day. Most of the time, it's up to us to face things alone. I think you have a deeper understanding of this truth than I do. Therefore, you have to adapt to the things in the store as soon as possible to deal with it alone. I'm not here. ”

As he spoke, he came to the hotel where Shu Shi was staying.

Seeing the bright lights in front of the hotel, standing in the shadow of the street lamps on the side of the street, Chu Feng stopped.

"Then you should be careful all the way, and I will take care of the affairs of the store with all my heart. I'll call you if there's anything to celebrate. ”

Holding the money bag, Ran Qing glanced back at Chu Feng and slowly walked towards the hotel.

Seeing Ran Qing enter the hotel, Chu Feng turned around and stepped into the cold night.

When a person walks on the side of the street at midnight when no one is empty, he can't help but feel some emotion and feel a little desolate.

It was late at night, and it was not easy to stop a taxi, so Chu Feng walked slowly towards his residence without hurrying.

No matter how the seasons change, walking alone on an unmanned road late at night will always feel cold to the bone.

Chu Feng tightened his clothes, and only then did he feel that his body was not so cold.

The empty road, unlike the daytime, is full of cars and pedestrians, and all that remains is the cold wind blowing a leaf or two, rolling on the side of the road.

The street lamps are not like the lights at the beginning of the day, when the cars and horses are bright, they give people a sense of prosperity and warmth, but they make people feel even colder.

He never had time to find a place to stay, and Chu Feng still lived in the old mansion that Jia Guqing rented for him.

The place where he landed was cold and cold, and there was no living creature except himself. When I returned home, I was just facing the cold walls and alone.

Only late at night. Fang felt lonely and bitter......

Walking on the road, passing by a small shop that was closing the door, Chu Feng bought a bottle of inferior wine and held it in his hand.

Drinking bad wine, the spicy wine enters the throat, and the body feels warmer, and the cold wind under the silent night is not as deep as that.

But in my heart, I can't get warm.

Just swayed all the way to the alley of the residence, looking at the dark alley intersection in front of him, standing under the alley lamp, Chu Feng suddenly didn't want to take any more steps.

Turn the corner at this familiar alleyway. How many times have I been in and out with her, how many times have I sent her away, how many times has she sent herself home......

Warm, reluctant, past.

Thinking about these things, my heart, which has been cold, warms up a little.

Regrets, old things.

I don't know if it's bad wine and spicy, or if it's sad. It seems that something is pressing on the heart, which makes people feel a little panicked.

Leaning on the corner of the lonely lamp at the entrance of the alley, Chu Feng slowly drank the wine, and watched the cold wind gently blowing by with fallen leaves. Fade away.

I don't know when, the wine in the bottle is gone.

I sat for a long time, body. Somewhat sore.

I don't want to go back to that lonely home and face the loneliness at home. But as the night gets deeper, there must be a home.

I couldn't stop shaking the bottle. Raising his head and drinking the last drop of wine, Chu Feng threw the wine bottle in his hand into the darkness and threw it far away.

Listening to the empty wine bottle bones rolling out on the cold ground, and there was no sound of breaking from afar, Chu Feng staggered and stood up against the wall.

Sometimes, people have to be like weeds on the side of the road, still fighting in the wind, rain and snow, and they have to be strong to live and walk......

Sorrow and sluggishness can only be temporary, not for a lifetime.

Scold two sentences, it.

Get drunk and get some sleep.

The next day, another iron-boned man!

Leaving aside countless worries and sorrows, Chu Feng fell asleep in bed until dawn.

Awakened by the alarm clock on his mobile phone, Chu Feng opened his eyes and saw that it was more than 6 o'clock in the morning, so he hurriedly got up and washed.

With the paper money that had been bought yesterday, Chu Feng hurriedly went out, rushed to the morning mist and morning dew, and went to the ancient town of Sioux City.

Go to the grave early.

Burn paper money and send meat to the people in the grave early.

When Chu Feng rushed to the old house of the Li family in the ancient town, Li Qingping's family had just gotten up and washed.

Li Qingping took his family and the things to worship and walked towards the ancestral tomb on the mountain.

first went to the graves of the ancestors of the Li family, and then went to the graves of the old men of the Li family.

In front of the grave in the mountain, some weeds grew.

When Li Qingping took his wife and daughter to kneel and pay tribute to his father, Chu Feng squatted on the side and silently dragged out the weeds growing on the old man's grave one by one.

After Li Qingping's family knelt down to pay respects, Chu Feng squatted in front of the monument and took out the paper money and sacrifices he brought one by one, and respectfully placed them in front of the old man's grave.

"Old man, after your old man left, I set up a medical stall in our Suzhou City Antique Street, and usually prescribed medical prescriptions for people, but only symbolically collected some consultation fees, and did not collect money indiscriminately, nor did I disregard the doctor's ......."

With his wife and daughter, watching Chu Feng squatting in front of the grave and whispering to his father, Li Qingping shook his head, sighed lowly, and then silently signaled to his wife and daughter, and then took the two of them to the distance and waited for Chu Feng.

Worship the ancestors and ancestors in front of the grave, pay tribute to the past, and at the same time tell the deceased about their past.

Sometimes, it is also a redemptive cleansing of oneself, telling some hardships that cannot be spoken to outsiders.

Li Qingping is middle-aged, and he has experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life, so it is natural to see that after the old man passed away, Chu Feng was alone and experienced many things. It can also be seen that Chu Feng is a little sluggish at this time, and he is preoccupied.

"Old man, do you remember the antique shop Mr. Jia that I rescued in the antique street at that time? His granddaughter Jia Guqing is very nice, she accompanied Aunt Li to buy me clothes, and found me a place to stay in Sioux City, and accompanied me to go out and close the stall, and also cooked and ate with me......"

When no one was around, Chu Feng sat in the field in front of the grave that still brought morning dew, burning paper money for the old man, talking about his parents' shortcomings, and talking about his own thoughts.

"Shulei's younger sister was young and ignorant, and she was cheated on at school, so I beat that person up and went to the police station afterwards. Fortunately, the director of the hospital is your old student, who has come to our old town and seen me before. Brightly and secretly, your disciple is helping me......"

"Old man, don't blame Shulei for being young and ignorant and doing something wrong. When children grow up, they always have to pay some price for their growth. With me taking care of her, she will definitely become more and more sensible and live a better and better life. I accompanied Shulei to Weicheng to have a fetus, and I happened to meet Gu Qing, and I was bumped into by her, which caused a misunderstanding. At that time, I really didn't know what to do, and I really felt sorry for Gu Qing. I don't know if this is retribution or if I did something wrong in my last life......"

Some words, some things, cannot be said to others.

At this time, sitting alone in front of the grave, Chu Feng could only complain to the deceased about these things that could not be said to outsiders.

Speaking of the confusion and confusion in his heart, he talked about his various hardships and helplessness.

"Back in Sioux City, I saved many workers who were trapped in the Sioux City Dam. Old man, you know that I know physiognomy, and I am in awe of heavenly retribution, but I don't believe in these things either. I always feel that my life is up to me. But when I went to the provincial capital, I saw the letter Su Wan'er left for me. I remembered something, I remembered the girl who was waiting for me. I'm afraid, I'm uneasy. I don't know what to do, I don't know why I'm carrying so much affection, I don't know how I'm going to pay back what I owe......"

"In Wei City, I saw the girl who learned the inheritance of the Yin Sutra, and I saw the lonely tomb of the Nine Forbidden Yin Sutras...... I don't dare to solve the Nine Forbidden Yin Tombs, I don't dare to face the obsession of being a lonely soul and a wild ghost without entering reincarnation......"

Whispering as he spoke, Chu Feng tightly grabbed the muscles on both sides of his legs with both hands, trying to calm his emotions as calmly as possible.

"Old man, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I don't know how to repay them, and I'm afraid that I can't repay these love debts for the rest of my life. So, I didn't dare to go to the grave, I kept running away. If I could, I'd really like to go back to when I first came to Sioux City and be the amnesiac man who can't remember anything. ”

The tone was a little trembling, these words, Chu Feng has no one to confide in, and he has been pressed in his heart, like a boulder of ten thousand catties, and he can't breathe!

As if he had lost all his strength, Chu Feng sat down in front of the grave and whispered in a low voice.

Li Qingping and his wife, who were standing in the distance, looked at Chu Feng's lost back and were a little worried. Li Shulei, who was young and lively, was also speechless at the moment, standing in the distance and looking at Chu Feng's somewhat gloomy back in the cold wind.

"Old man, I'm a man. No matter how hard it is in your heart, you have to go on with your head held high, and you have to pay off the debts you owe. What you don't figure out, you have to figure out. I hope you can protect me all the way in the underworld...... Uncle Qingping and Aunt Shuzhi are about to add a man, and you must be happy and happy, the Li family has a queen......"

After pouring the wine in the bottle in front of the grave and saluting the old man, Chu Feng slowly stood up.

With a straight spine and a resolute look in his eyes, Chu Feng bowed deeply to the old man, and then strode away.

The Tianxuan Needle has been returned to his hands, so it is time for the "Book of Heaven" to find the heir. (To be continued.) )
