Chapter Seventy-Three: Return to the City of Sorrows

When I woke up, I was lying on an old wooden bed, no reunion, no love, just I was drunk.

The shopkeeper was knocking on the door, and I dragged my sore back and sat up straight on the bed, "Come in." ”

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man, who does not look like a restaurant owner at all, but looks like a young man working in the company.

The boss saw that I was staring at his clothes, and smiled inadvertently: "Look at me, I don't look like the shopkeeper, anyway, you are not the only one who thinks so." ”

I relieved myself and said, "I'm sorry for the offense." ”

Then he asked me, "Where are you?" ”

I replied without thinking: "XX city in XX province." ”

Unexpectedly, the boss was surprised and said, "Fellow, I am also from that city." ”

I replied excitedly, "Really?" It's too fateful to be able to meet fellow countrymen here. ”

He looked at the table and poured me a cup of tea, "Drink tea, sober up." ”

I took the cup and put it on the bedside table, and hurriedly got up, "I still have to brush my teeth and wash my face, or you can go and get busy first, and I'll come to you later." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, "It's okay, then I'll go get busy first." ”

When you get out of bed and open the window, the breeze is more refreshing than anything else, and the morning light shines through the leaves outside the window, giving people a sense of hope today.

I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face, and drank the tea on the table. Listening to the birds outside the window is in a particularly good mood, although I didn't go back to the hotel to sleep yesterday, but I have to stay here for a few more days anyway, in fact, I find that this place is more suitable for me.

I was glad that my boss didn't take the opportunity to extort me a sum of money, nor did he throw me out of the store and sleep on the street, although it was a bad thing to get drunk outside, but I accidentally met a fellow villager.

Maybe this is the blessing of Seon's misfortune, I went downstairs to ask the boss to pay for the house, but he didn't accept it. I didn't say much at his insistence, after all, there are more options for the return trip with more money.

The shopkeeper's name is Lin Shen, he was a very good student in the school's foreign language department when he was in college, and after graduation, he was sent to the United Kingdom for graduate school, where he met Tan Feiyan, who is also an international student, and is now the proprietress of the shop.

The two of them rented the same Chinese house, but there were few opportunities to meet, because Lin Shen had to go out part-time at night. Originally, he didn't have to worry about living expenses at all, but his mother accidentally got cancer and spent a lot of money on surgery, so he had to earn his own living expenses from then on.

In this way, the two people had little intersection, until one morning the toilet in the toilet was blocked, and the two had a serious opportunity to communicate, although Lin Shen was a foreign language department, but he was still very good at repairing sewers, dredging toilets, changing light bulbs or something.

Tan Feiyan is as beautiful as the word Feiyan in her name, which didn't make Lin Shen fall in love at first sight, but it did make a deep impression on him.

Later, the landlord asked the two to go to the hotel because someone in the family came back to live, after all, the landlady is usually very good to the two of them, and the rent is also very cheap, so the two have no objection.

It was Christmas, and the two people in a foreign land were like like-minded wanderers, drinking and reminiscing together.

Tan Feiyan is an orphan who was able to study abroad with the help of a charity, but she is actually very lonely here. He majored in accounting, because the UK has always been a financial center, and many international students who study finance will choose to study in the UK.

Since then, the two of them have been huddled together for warmth, and they have been in more and more contact, Tan Feiyan is a person who is very sensitive to feelings, which may be related to her lack of love since she was a child, so she has not accepted Lin Shen's show of love, she is afraid of the pain caused by the failure of love.

Three years later, Lin Shen received the news of his mother's death, because he was preparing for his graduation thesis during that time, so his family had been hiding it from him, and his mother had passed away for 5 days after receiving the news.

After graduation, Lin Shen gave up the opportunity to develop overseas, and resolutely chose to return to China, he thought that his fate with Tan Feiyan had come to an end, but a surprise fell from the sky, she was pregnant.

In this way, Tan Feiyan followed him back to China, and the two soon got married. They opened a restaurant in their hometown, and the two of them worked hard for a few years and saved some money, but they returned to a state of poverty after buying a house for their children to go to school.

Gradually, Tan Feiyan got tired of this kind of life, but the two high-achieving students had to spend their lives in a restaurant, and she had already had enough of the blandness of firewood, rice, oil and salt. She told Lin Shen that she wanted to travel to the ancient city, and she wanted to have a sweet time that belonged only to them.

Lin Shen always told her to stop after another year or two, but the pressure of life made them work for another five years, and when the children were a little older, who knew that an accident caught people off guard, and the hotel fire was taken into it along with their children's lives.

Tan Feiyan has always felt ashamed of her child, because she wanted to get rid of this place so much, but who knew that her wish came true, but she put the child in, and in her case, the doctor said that it was difficult to get pregnant again, because she was found to have ** fibroids.

After that, Lin Shen stayed with her at home for a while, and it wasn't until she came out of her grief that she went out to look for a job, and he found a job as a translator in the city, with a very good salary. Since then, the two have not talked about travel, because they will recall that painful past.

Tan Feiyan lost her former sunshine and strength, and she even proposed to divorce Lin Shen, because she didn't want to drag Lin Shen down.

But Lin Shen's love for her is as deep as her name, under Lin Shen's careful care, Tan Feiyan gradually got better, and one day she suddenly said that she wanted to go to the ancient city.

So Lin Shen decisively quit his job and accompanied her to the ancient city to open the current tavern called "Red Dust Old Dream".

When I listened to Lin Shen tell their story, I realized that there is too much undying love in this world, and the person who chooses to persist is not necessarily afraid of losing, but you believe that you will give each other the best home.

I said to Lin Shen: "Is she happy to open this tavern?" ”

Lin Shen said: "I may not be very happy at first, but after listening to more stories from passers-by, I gradually fell in love with this tavern. ”

In fact, who is not a reed in the wind in this world, the past is to pass after all, time will make a person heal the scars not because it can make you forget everything, but because the precipitation of the years will give you more understanding of life, and life is the real warrior.

I didn't stay here long, because I've finished listening to the story I'm going to hear, and I'm going to continue my journey, maybe the last joy, and I'm about to step into the world I've ever said.

I stayed here for 4 days afterwards and met a few special friends, I admit that this is the most memorable place for me, but I had to go.

I went back to the city of sorrows that I had talked about, and I decided to continue living in this city because there are my shadows and my memories.

When I went back to the rented house, I was already an outsider who could only wait and see, and I heard from the landlord that the person renting the house was also a student and went to the same university as me.

I stood on that staircase for a long time, looking at the window over there, as if I could see someone smiling at me, and a group of children playing passed by me, and one of them said, "Brother, what are you looking at, there was also a sister who looked there like you just now." ”

I smiled and replied, "Look at the scenery, it's a beautiful scenery." ”
