It's still the old-fashioned wooden door, with blue bricks and black tiles. It maintains the building in the style of the Republic of China. This made Tang Zheng very happy. With a sound from inside, here, there was a creak, and the door opened. Inside the door, an old man about sixty or seventy years old, with silver hair and a pair of old-fashioned black-framed glasses, stood at the door, looked at Tang Zheng with a puzzled expression and said, "Young man, who are Nong looking for?" ”

Full of Wu Nong's soft language, the local dialect of Zhonghai. Fortunately, Tang Zheng has been in Zhonghai for so many years, although he has not learned Zhonghai dialect, he can still understand it more or less.

Looking at the old man, Tang Zheng gave a smile that he thought was the most kind, and said slowly: "Hello, old man, I want to ask you, are you the owner of this house?" ”

Seeing the old man's somewhat puzzled expression, Tang Zheng added: "Old man, I want to rent this façade room in front." ”

As soon as the words fell, what Tang Zheng didn't expect was that the old man, who was originally kind, suddenly changed. His brow furrowed. looked at Tang Zheng and said angrily: "Get out, this house is not rented." ”

After speaking, there was a snap, and the courtyard door was closed.

"Sir, why are you doing this? If you have any problems, you can tell me, and if you have any requirements, we can also talk about them. There's no need to turn people away from thousands of miles away, isn't it? ”

However, no matter what Tang Zheng said, there was no sound coming out of it. Obviously, this old gentleman didn't even bother to say this to Tang Zheng.

"Don't shout, young man. Old man Fei is a well-known person here, with a strange personality and a stubborn temper. His house, after all these years, is no longer a family or two to rent. However, he never rented it out. You better stop shouting. The courtyard door of the house behind Tang Zheng opened, and a woman about fifty years old stood at the door and said to Tang Zheng.

When I met such a suitable house, I liked it more than I liked. Tang Zheng naturally didn't want to give up like that. Either way, you have to try it first, and it really doesn't work. Look for another one. Immediately, Tang Zheng also walked up and said with a smile: "Auntie, you are an old neighbor here, you must know the situation of this old Mr. Fei, why is this." Such a good house, with the rent market here, rent it out, and get two or three hundred thousand a year. Why is this old gentleman so stubborn? Could it be that he can't get along with money? ”

This aunt seems to have worked in the street or the neighborhood committee, and she is very enthusiastic. said to Tang Zheng: "Who said it wasn't." But. This old man is strong. No one will listen to what they say. Usually it's okay, as long as he hears that he wants to rent a house, he loses his temper. No one can stop it. ”

After a pause, the aunt said slowly: "I remember." In the early years, it should have been in the nineties, and he also rented it out once. However, as soon as they came in, they wanted to decorate and demolish this and that. This old man Fei was not satisfied at that time. The rent was refunded, and I heard that the renovation cost was also compensated. Since then, he has never rented for more than ten years. ”

Hearing the aunt's words, Tang Zheng also pondered. Judging from the information that the aunt has learned, this old gentleman's temper is a little strange. The old gentleman had a deep affection for this house, and he was reluctant to let people touch his house. It should be said that he is missing someone or something. This. It was also a little difficult for Tang Zheng. If you want to open a clinic yourself, some necessary decoration is essential. Chinese medicine cabinet, counter. There are also concoction rooms, just like those ancient Chinese medicine stores on TV. These are all essential things. In this way, with this old gentleman's temperament, I am afraid it will be difficult to rent. Thinking of this, Tang Zheng stood up and said with a smile: "Auntie, thank you." If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't know. I won't bother you. Goodbye, Auntie. ”

……

Early the next morning, Tang Zheng didn't know what was going on, he drove it, and the car arrived here, looking at the façade room that was still as quiet as a wilderness, Tang Zheng was moved in his heart. I parked my car, bought some fruit from the fruit shop next to me, and walked this way.

As usual, there was a knock on the door, and this time, Mr. Fei's voice soon came from inside: "Who." ”

The courtyard door opened, and when he saw Tang Zheng, Mr. Fei frowned, waiting for Tang Zheng to say, "What are you still doing?" I don't rent this house. ”

Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Fei Lao, don't get me wrong. This time, I'm not here just to rent a house, but also to see you. You see, I can't force a buy or sell. If you can't buy and sell, you're still righteous. You are a gift of filial piety to you, what do you think? ”

Tang Zheng's words made Mr. Fei very disdainful. looked at Tang Zheng and said: "Many people have used such a trick and routine like yours, but this set is useless to my old man." Where to go back and forth. I don't have time to say hello. Also, things to take away, don't blame me for not reminding you. Sending it is also a free gift. Don't end up empty, and blame the old man for being greedy for your cheapness. ”

Tang Zheng laughed, this old man is really like the aunt opposite, with a strange personality and a stubborn temper. At this time, Tang Zheng was curious. Why would such an ordinary old man be reluctant to rent out his house?

At this time, the purpose of renting a house was much lighter, and he said with a smile: "Old man Fei, you can rest assured when you are old." I can still afford this gift. However, old man, I'm curious, why would you rather put it on your hands and get moldy than rent it out? ”

When the words fell, it immediately aroused the disgust of Old Man Fei, and the old man suddenly turned around, looked at Tang Zheng and said, "Why do you care about me?" My house, I'm happy, what's wrong? You don't care if I rent it or not. Go, go, let me hurry up, the old man looks at you and is upset. ”

Yes, he was kicked out again.

"Why are you here again?" It's still here in this façade room. As soon as he opened the door and saw Tang Zheng standing at the door, Fei Lao immediately frowned.

Tang Zheng also smiled and said, "Old man, I'm here to see you again." I said, I'm a person, I do things casually. You don't have to rent a house. Now, my curiosity is greater than renting. You see, I've been here six or seven times, and I've known you for your old age, can you tell me why you don't want to rent out your house? ”

Speaking of which, the old man didn't catch Tang Zheng again this time. sighed, but turned around and sat on the stone pier in the middle of the courtyard, looked at Tang Zheng and said, "You kid, you also have my eyes." For seven days in a row, I persevered every day. Every time I am scolded, I can still calm down. It's also a talent. Actually, I've already figured it out. It's just that I don't want to come out myself, so this time, I'll tell you about it. ”

Old Man Fei stood up and said to Tang Zheng: "Boy, come with me." ”

Under the leadership of Fei Lao, Tang Zheng followed into the front façade room, and it was as Tang Zheng expected. Nearly twelve meters of house, on the left side is a wall, and inside the door is a house. The other two are open, airy rooms. It's like a big living room. The furnishings here are still the same as in the late 80s and early 90s.

In the middle is a shrine, on which is placed a spiritual seat, the spiritual seat of his beloved wife Li Ran.

Fei Lao also seemed to fall into memories at this moment, and said slowly: "You have also seen that this is the place where my wife died." ”

At this time, Tang Zheng could probably already guess. Fei Lao and his wife have a deep relationship and deep affection. The death of his wife should have made Fei Lao feel an unforgettable pain. Before, Fei Lao tried to get out of the memory. rented out the house, but as a result, seeing that others wanted to renovate and decorate here, Fei Lao was suddenly reluctant. This also caused Fei Lao to dare not lease out from now on.

"When I was young, I was so focused on work that I ignored her, but I didn't expect that she would suddenly cause a heart attack and leave. When I left, I was only in my forties. I feel guilty that if I was at home, she might not be gone. Over the years, I have kept this place as it is, and living here alone is to leave a memory. When Fei Lao said this, his expression was a little sad.

The atmosphere was also a little silent. Because the main entrance of the house is not opened all year round, the interior of the house looks a little dark and damp. The air is also not very good.

sighed, but Tang Zheng said slowly: "Old man Fei, I'm looking for this façade, in fact, I'm going to open a Chinese medicine clinic." I am honored to hear your heartfelt words, old man. I am also touched by this camaraderie between you and your wife. Rent or not rent. Actually, it doesn't matter anymore. I think you still have to come out. What has been lost is irretrievable, and people still have to look forward, you see, you are now seventy. As the saying goes, life is rare for seventy years. People still have to cherish the present in life. You have been living with self-blame and guilt, don't you feel that it is also a kind of irresponsibility to your children? I believe that your wife doesn't want you to do this. Wouldn't it be nice to help the kids look around and have some family fun? ”

Tang Zheng's words suddenly made Old Man Fei stunned, and his brows were furrowed all the time. After being silent for a long time, Old Man Fei nodded slowly and said, "Boy, thank you very much." Yes, man is to cherish the present. Living in memories is a blasphemy against the dead and a guilt for the living. Looking at it now, I have lived a lifetime, but I am ashamed that I can't see it clearly without your junior. ”

Tang Zheng was also happy for this old man from the bottom of his heart at this moment, and said with a smile: "Old man Fei, it's great that you can think so." Nothing, I'll take my leave, these days, bother you. ”

At the moment when Tang Zheng stood up, Old Man Fei suddenly said, "You just said that you are a Chinese medicine doctor?" You want to open a pharmacy? ”
