The Yangtze River Delta has cooled down sharply recently, although it is the land south of the Yangtze River, the four seasons are distinct, but the four seasons are distinct, in fact, it is not necessarily so beautiful.

It is not as comfortable as Rongcheng in the country of abundance, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not as comfortable as eating popsicles in the house with heating on in some areas further north.

Large-scale heating, in fact, has stopped here, and has not been popularized here, and the damp and cold here in winter is often more and more difficult.

Maybe you can't see anything when the temperature goes up, but if it's really cold, someone has to experience it for yourself.

The old road is trembling hands and feet while walking down the street,

He has traveled north and south in his life, and he has been to many places, and he has seen all the winds and waves, but this body is bones, and it is not good to be dissatisfied.

I slowly like a milder climate,

He once stayed in Foshan, Guangzhou, for a long time, but he couldn't bear the hot flashes;

He also stopped in this Jiangnan water town, but he still couldn't love it.

I had planned to stay in Rongcheng forever,

However, the good times did not last long,

More than a year ago, I estimated the changes in the first two days of the Chinese New Year's Eve,

Let the flowers of Rongcheng instantly come to naught.

But Lao Dao is also an optimist, and at the same time a contented person, besides, no matter where he goes, there are always sisters waiting for him on the side of the road.

Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you,

Here in the old way,

got a different interpretation.

A cold wind blows,

Lao Dao shrunk his neck again,

But it also stopped,

A small shop sign in front,

fell into his eyes.

It turned out to be a photo studio, very small and cramped.

When most people think of Shanghai, they think of high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and shocking housing prices.

In fact

No matter how big a city is, it has its brilliance, and it must also have its down-to-earth place.

For example, this small street, in fact, is not far away by car, it is full of buildings, but here, it still seems a little shabby and cramped.

There are people who are glamorous in this city, and naturally there are more people who bend over here and live humbly.

Lao Dao didn't feel sorry for the former boss who is now committed to this,

He knew, and the previous boss seemed to like the tune.

Back then, in Rongcheng, wasn't it also looking for such a dark store to open in the old city?

Unlike his current boss,

Speaking of being rich,

Hehe......

The current boss has no money, so he asked people to burn it.

And the previous boss ran out of money, so he pointed to a position and let himself dig up a box of gold bricks.

The photo studio business is naturally deserted,

It's deserted and it's the same as a bookstore.

The equipment inside is also very old,

But it's also neat and tidy.

When the old way walked in,

A cat meow startled him.

Looking up,

Found a white cat lying on a shelf,

The hair is white,

It's like a silk joke,

It's just that there is a little laziness in the cat's eyes.

"Hey, Pu'er, do you remember Poor Dao?"

Lao Dao pointed to himself.

The white cat stretches out its paws,

Very perfunctory wave.

It means that you know,

.

Lao Dao didn't care, he knew the character of this cat, and he had always been very cold.

I want to reach out and touch it,

Think about it or forget it.

When I went in a little more, I saw the compartment inside,

There was a man sitting,

The man in a black down jacket is sitting on a chair and is painting with a paintbrush.

The painting is a small bridge and flowing water,

It's not a grand spectacle,

It's full of fireworks.

Looking at this back,

Lao Dao looked a little embarrassed,

But since it's a reunion of old friends, you can't cry and cry, you have to laugh, you have to celebrate, the old way is not the kind of twenty or thirty-year-old raw melons and eggs, life and death, I have seen a lot in this life.

"Boss, I'm here."

"Sit."

The man continued to draw.

Lao Dao sat down next to him and asked:

"Boss, are your eyes good?"

After the man finished drawing the last two strokes,

Putting down the pen,

Turned around,

Reach for his thermos cup.

The old man was shocked,

But I saw that the man's eyes were closed, and he was not wearing sunglasses to cover it, and he was not wrapped in any straps.

But I haven't opened my eyes.

before

I'm also painting with my eyes closed.

"Boss, your eyes haven't ............ yet"

"If you close your eyes, you can see more clearly."

The man didn't care, he seemed very free, and he didn't feel sorry for himself because he was blind.

rise

Pick up the little bench you just sat on under you,

Road:

"Go sit outside, it's cold inside."

Lao Dao also immediately got up.

forthwith

And they sat together at the door,

One person and a small bench,

The sun began to bask in,

The old way can't stand this feeling,

Although he was an old man in his early seventies,

But I don't like quiet and peaceful,

It's his own two bosses,

They all seem to have a deep obsession with basking in the sun.

"Boss, why do you want to open a photo studio?"

In these years,

Except for the occasional need for people to take ID photos, there is little business in small photo studios, and the hardware and software of photo studios are not comparable to photo studios in small streets and alleys.

"Here, the lighting is good."

"............" old way.

Yes,

Yes,

This reason is indeed very bossy.

If this used to be a small massage parlor and a small hair salon, as long as it was well lit enough, the boss would definitely take it down.

anyway

I didn't expect to open a store and make real money.

Lao Dao didn't say the reason for coming to Shanghai,

The man didn't ask,

The two of them sit here,

Basking in the sun for half an afternoon.

And at this time,

Tang poems came from the end of the street in the distance,

Dressed in a plain one, a red down jacket, jeans, and a scarf.

looks

It's really the look of a family woman,

It's really not as good as when I first met in Rongcheng before, and I like to dress up and be beautiful.

She carried the vegetables she bought,

Lao Dao looked at it,

forehead

A large bag of unified Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles, the cover is Wang Han's kind.

The corners of Lao Dao's mouth twitched,

The man next to him said:

"Let's have dinner together."

"Okay."

The rice cooks quickly,

Lao Dao was embarrassed to praise Tang Shi for his virtue,

After all, it's cooking instant noodles,

And I'm also afraid of being beaten.

Because it's three people,

So I brought the pot out,

Three bowls,

Three pairs of chopsticks,

A male spoon,

It's as simple as that.

Lao Dao filled a bowl,

After a few bites,

I want to praise "it tastes good",

Think about it or forget it.

For Lao Dao, if he doesn't find a chance to slap a few sycophants, he is really uncomfortable, but he can't always slap his ass every time and time It sounds like irony, right?

But

It's also true,

This table of "meals",

It's really incomparable to a bookstore.

Xu Qinglang of the bookstore manages three meals a day very well, and he will change the tricks, and the taste of everyone in the bookstore will be raised immediately.

"Can't get used to it?"

The man asked.

"No, no."

"Then change the flavor tomorrow." The man said to Tang Shi.

"Okay, change Master Kang."

"yes, okay."

"............" old way.

Look at the two people around you,

Pick up the noodles,

Swallowing in excruciating pain,

The old man sighed for a while,

Hands into their bosoms,

Took out three small bottles,

put it on the table,

Road:

"Boss, Sister Tang, drink some of this before eating, and you can eat it."

The two of them drank,

really

One pot of instant noodles was quickly eaten.

Lao Dao looked at the sky,

Then he got up and took his leave.

It's not early,

He's got to go back,

After all, his current boss still needs to watch by himself.

The man escorted him to the door of the store.

"Boss, let's still have this address, and when I go back, I'll send you some more express."

There is no shortage of oral liquid in bookstores now.

The man nodded,

smiled.

"Then I'll go first, boss, take care."

The old way is gone,

The back is a little gloomy.

The man stretched out his hand,

Gently touched Pu'er, who was still lying on the shelf,

"Meow"

Pu'er screamed,

Continue to lie on your stomach.

"What are you doing?"

Tang Shi, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, asked.

"He didn't say, so I didn't ask."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Tang Shi nodded, and continued:

"Something must be wrong."

"Hmm."

"Shall I take a look?"

"If there is something, he will say it, and if he doesn't say it, it is not a big deal. I'm a little tired today and want to rest early. ”

"Okay, I'll wash the dishes and chopsticks, then go take a shower and go up to rest together."

The man nodded,

Pu'er jumped down very obediently,

Step by step with a noble attitude,

Walked up the stairs.

It's dark,

Night shrouds,

In this hustle and bustle of the city,

brings a touch of tranquility,

It's like in a painting.

…………

After going out,

The old Taoist felt a burst of internal urgency,

Probably because I drank too much noodle soup.

The sewer pipes are aging,

It's easy to have some old problems,

The water is urgent, the water is frequent, the water is inexhaustible,

The old way has been looking for a long time,

No public toilets found.

It's not that the old way is sincere and has no quality,

Elderly,

And this urge to urinate came so suddenly and decisively,

There's really no way to do it at the moment,

While lamenting that the public toilet in the magic capital was not covered well, I found a small alley.

Directly unfastened the waistband of the trousers.

At the beginning, it was a big bead and a small bead falling on the jade plate,

Then there was a lingering tick-tock,

In the end,

Successful "body" retreat,

The old way smashed it, smashed it, smashed it, smacked it,

Yawned.

Just at this moment, a car drove by,

Very unqualified high beams,

The alley was lit up for a while.

Lao Dao bowed his head,

Look at the place where you just marked it,

I found a sculpture of the Lord of the Earth below.

Damn!

Lao Dao is a Taoist person, even if he is a little insincere, but even ordinary non-believers, he doesn't dare to shout at the statue sculpture, right?

It's one thing to believe in religion or not,

But most people don't dare to make mistakes like this, especially this kind of disrespectful times.

Lao Dao took a few steps back at the moment,

Very respectfully knelt down,

Take all the cigarettes out of your pockets,

Give the land lord all the money,

Then bow down and bow,

At the same time shouted:

"Grandpa Land, Grandpa Land, the kid didn't mean it, he didn't mean to nourish you.

I beg you to spare the boy,

Let's open a way out,

Let's make a way for the boy to live,

Open one,

Let's get out of the way......"
