After experiencing the messy encounter in the previous period, Chen Hong's mind calmed down a bit. As the song goes, the outside world is not only wonderful, but also helpless. Bai Xuesong often sang this song in front of her, but she didn't understand why helpless things caught up with her.

She communicated with Wang Jing about this feeling, mainly about Xu Yi's arrest, but she didn't say anything about the business trip together. But Wang Jing understood better than she thought.

"It's not that you're unlucky, it's that the helpless things outside are more exciting than exciting, and it's a matter of proportion. Now that you've come out, you have to be prepared, mentally prepared, and prepared. You can create wonderful, not look for wonderful. ”

"What you said this girl is quite exciting, it seems that she is not in vain outside."

"Isn't it, we're also Chinese teachers, and we really have a lot of knowledge outside."

"Then I'll continue to be wonderful."

"Same color, same color. There is good news to report in time. ”

Chen Hong and Wang Jing's homes are not far away, but they rarely go to each other's homes. Needless to say, Chen Hong's home has old people and children, and the place is not too big. And Wang Jing is the same, the reason why she can live so freely is actually mainly thanks to her parents, after divorcing Du Qiang, she has been living in her parents' house. The two of them are not very convenient at home, and there are some private things that cannot be said at home. Especially since the two of them divorced one after another, they have not been to each other's homes again.

Therefore, when they meet, they usually go to find a place nearby where they can sit down and drink something without spending too much money, and the environment is relatively good and quiet. Such a place is not easy to find, and it is difficult to do it exactly as required. In the past, they used to go to McDonald's or KFC, and occasionally find a teahouse, but the fast food restaurant was obviously too messy, and the consumption in the teahouse was too high, until Chen Hong accidentally found a good place.

Not far from the two of them's house, a small teahouse was newly opened, which Chen Hong saw from there one day.

They live in a clean community near the Fourth Ring Road, where most of the residents migrated from the city center 20 years ago, so they are mainly middle-aged and elderly, and there are not too many people of Chen Hong's age, resulting in a slow and peaceful living situation in the surrounding area. Due to the special population structure of the residents, there are few entertainment facilities here, such as gyms, beauty salons, song halls, tea houses, etc., and even a large supermarket does not exist. However, the green environment in the community is very good, because there are elderly people resting all day long, and Chen Hong's parents usually have to go far to buy some food, and sometimes Chen Hong brings some things back from work.

So when Chen Hong found out that the shop called Xiaoyue Tea Bar appeared, she was very surprised and happy. It's just that Chen Hong didn't dare to go in directly, she rarely went to places like teahouses, bars, and song halls, she always felt that it was too chaotic and not suitable for people like herself, and she didn't understand what the place called the tea bar in front of her was doing. So before entering the tea bar, she deliberately walked back and forth outside a few times, observed for a while, and looked at the environment there and the people coming in and out, feeling relatively safe. It was about 10 a.m., and it should have been fine in broad daylight.

The black door of the tea bar on a white background is also very suitable for her aesthetics of color, which is clean, simple and distinct. She immediately liked it and immediately called Wang Jing.

"Honey, I've found a great place for us to go on a date."

"What's wrong with you, who is dating you? Isn't it too lonely to get divorced? ”

"No, really, there's a teahouse near our house."

"yes, where, that's good."

"I'm on his doorstep right now."

"Hurry up and take a picture."

Chen Hong took a picture of the teahouse door with her mobile phone and sent it to Wang Jing.

"Yes, sisters, let's go sit down one day. Now let's go and investigate. ”

"Let's wait for you to come, let's go together, I don't dare to go to that kind of place."

"What stupid, what's wrong with broad daylight? Let me tell you, the bosses of this kind of place are usually handsome guys with some taste, don't miss the opportunity, if I go with you, you won't have a chance. ”

"Ha, okay, okay, you wait for my news, I'll take a look first."

It may have just opened at that time, but it was not actually open, because the opening hours of the tea bar were 24 hours. It was just morning, and there was no one in the teahouse.

Chen Hong probed into the teahouse and saw Xiao Shaohui, wearing a white shirt with a stand-up collar, shrewd and capable, with deep eyes, not ostentatious, a slight beard, and a neat and regular hairstyle, full of the breath of a cultural person, and without losing his old age. Chen Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped being timid.

"Welcome." The boss greeted her in a loud voice. He was holding a plastic watering can and watering the flowers.

"Are you open now?" Chen Hong asked in a low voice.

The boss also stopped what he was doing, stared at Chen Hong for a few seconds, and then quickly put down the watering can.

"It's open, you can sit as you please." As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Hong could tell that he was from Beijing.

Chen Hong didn't dare to go to the innermost, but just stood near the door and observed inside.

The tea bar is not big, but it is very decently cleaned up, typical elegant style, at first glance it is not much different from other teahouses, after all, those who play this line have more or less similar temperament, so the design presented will be similar, nothing more than antique furniture, calligraphy, paintings, flowers and plants, etc. But all the furniture, tables and chairs here are real mahogany, which Chen Hong knows a little about, and it looks like they are all old products from a few years ago, and they are of high quality, and they are by no means fakes. There are two things that attract her the most, one is the low cricket cry in the teahouse, which I don't know where it comes from; There was also a word on the wall, with strange strokes, and she could tell it after looking at it for a long time: Thought.

"Please sit inside." The boss followed her and prompted.

"I'm just coming to see what's new here."

"Yes, it's just been open for over a month."

"That's good, there's a lack of one here."

"Yes, you can taste our tea, we are in the tea mountain of Bao, Yunnan, all of which are grown and processed by ourselves." The boss handed over a business card, designed in the same color as rosewood, and the style is also very unique. He pointed to a few photos on the wall, which showed tea farmers at work in the mountains.

Chen Hong sat at a table near the door. Xiao Shaohui asked:

"What kind of tea would you like to drink?"

"I don't know much either, I usually drink blindly, and the tea here is very expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive, there are all old people in the neighborhood, they are all neighbors, there is not such a high level of consumption, we are just down-to-earth, and it is convenient for everyone. If you want to taste it, it's free today, and no one is there in the morning anyway, so we're free for new customers. ”

"That's not appropriate, I'm just passing by, I'll come more often in the future."

Xiao Shaohui didn't wait for Chen Hong to finish speaking, he had already turned on the electric kettle on her desk and was ready to make tea.

Chen Hong realized that there was not a single customer in the store.

"Is it always so deserted here?"

"No, there are more people in the afternoon and evening, and there is usually no one in the morning. Who has the time to drink tea early in the morning? ”

"yes, that's fine."

Xiao Shaohui felt that what he just said was not appropriate, so he hurriedly went back.

"There aren't many people as idle as you now. You're a teacher, right? ”

"How do you know?" Chen Hong's eyes widened.

"Look like, talk like, literate people. It's the holidays, and only teachers are available. ”

"What a cultural person, he is a child king."

"The greatest profession under the sun."

"It's over." Chen Hong remembered that there was also this sentence in the teaching building of their school, and he felt very proud, and he also had a good impression of the guy in front of him.

Xiao Shaohui skillfully poured tea for Chen Hong. A fresh fragrance wafted out instantly.

"What kind of tea is this, so fragrant?"

"This one is called White Moon, and it is a kind of white tea, which is from an old tree. The weather is relatively dry, drink some white tea to remove the fire, and it is popular to drink this now. ”

"Oh, it smells so good."

Chen Hong sipped tea while looking around, only to find that this store is actually a book bar, there is a row of bookshelves against the wall full of all kinds of books, from the content of the book can clearly show the owner's taste or theme, in such a busy city now, it is difficult to find such an environment, those books are basically related to philosophy, psychology, culture, which makes Chen Hong more interested. Boss Xiao may have seen her approval and took the initiative to introduce it.

"I read books and I like to store books. There are too many books at home, so I got it here, on the one hand, to be elegant, and on the other hand, to meet friends with books. ”

"It's good. There are too few people reading books now, so you are also a cultural person. ”

"I'm not, but I like to read."

"That's nice, you're alone here?"

"There are also a few children to look after, usually in the afternoon. It's too late in the evening, let them rest. ”

"That's hard, too."

"There's no way, I can't compare with you, the teachers are so good, stable, and there are holidays every year."

"It's not interesting, it's tiring."

"When I was a child, I dreamed of being a teacher, and I still regret it."

"I have no regrets, the teacher is too hard, and I don't have much success in my life."

"Born in the midst of blessings and not knowing blessings, like us are tired of running for our own lives."

They had a good chat and seemed to have known each other for a long time.

"You're from Beijing, too, right?" Chen Hong asked him.

"Yes, I grew up in an alley. You are also a neighbor. ”

"Yes, not far." Chen Hong suddenly remembered the two words on the wall, pointed there and asked curiously:

"What do you want?" She has relaxed a lot, because Boss Xiao has made her very relaxed, and all her previous worries are gone.

Boss Xiao smiled and replied:

"A friend wrote it, and I looked good and hung it here."

"A person is cranky?" Chen Hong deliberately joked with him.

"That's what it means."

Chen Hong deliberately raised this question, and she suddenly had the idea of wanting to know more about the other party.
