Life in the city and the countryside is different, as long as you are in this torrent of steel and concrete, people's nerves will unconsciously begin to tense, like a hunter waiting for an opportunity, and like a prey that is careful to avoid being swallowed by the giant beast of the city. If, due to some factors, you temporarily lose the ability to hunt and avoid becoming prey, and you have to enter the dormant period, you will become panicked and surrounded by a faint nervousness all the time.

At this time, I was probably in such a state, unwilling to do nothing, but I could only do nothing. Just like a tiger with a broken tooth and an injury, even if he has the ambition to look down on all living beings in the mountains and forests in his chest, he has no choice but to succumb to reality and honestly be a sick cat that has been unarmed, waiting to be fed, and needs to be taken care of by his healthy kind.

Fortunately, I am in a highly civilized human world, not a jungle world where the fittest survive, otherwise someone like me would have been abandoned by my own kind, waiting alone in pain and waiting for death, or even being eaten by my own kind.

Back in the provincial capital, this triple courtyard house located in Xiaohekou Lane, Guangming Road, a suburb of Changming District, Dongcheng, is already on its third day. When I first came back, I experienced a complete spring, summer, autumn and winter without being polluted with popularity, and the yard was unattended, which was a dilapidated scene with some overgrown weeds.

The main house of the courtyard is laid out inside and outside, the center is naturally the main hall, the inside is the back hall dedicated to the ancestors of the past dynasties, the two rooms on the east wing side are the old man's living room, of course he and his grandfather live together, and the west wing is the kitchen and dining room. Originally, with my parents here, I shouldn't live in the East Wing anymore, I should vacate it for them to live, but they are not happy to toss, my family does not have such big rules, and it is not a long-term residence, so I live in the West Wing, and the little woman who used to live in the West Wing has been settled because the family has been settled, and it is logical for me to live in the East Wing.

The only thing that I regret is that because of the injury, I haven't been able to do it at all, although I have been away for almost a year, I have not been surrounded by little women again, and although I have lived together in a bright and bright way, some of the things I have long wanted to do and should do have not been done. After all, I have endured it for so long, but I didn't think about it, but I was ruthlessly rejected by my little daughter-in-law, saying that I would not do what I wanted, and I didn't want to behave too much, so as not to lose a bad reputation in the eyes of my elders, so I had to stop honestly first.

"Not only is it toothless, it can't crisscross the mountains and forests, and it can't even do the most basic things, can such a tiger be called a tiger?" In the midst of my depression, I couldn't help but think so.

But when I think about it, I can't even go very well at the moment, but it's also an ironclad fact, so I can't help but admit it. Fortunately, except for Li Lin, who is still messing around at school, the family lives together in the provincial capital completely, and there is a mad dog running around in the yard all day long, and the joy brought by rolling all over the ground will also dissipate the faint powerlessness and depression in my heart, so although I want to get better soon, I am also happy to be content with the status quo, and it is time to eat and sleep.

Of course, if the little daughter-in-law can perceive my "hard work" and thief's heart, and is willing to give me some "little surprises", the days of recuperation will be even more pleasant. However, the little daughter-in-law, who has always been understanding, now seems to have suddenly dropped her IQ and become a lot more stupid, although she has secretly hinted at it several times, she still can't understand what I want most, so that I want to pull down my face and say it clearly.

At the same time, the thoughts I had when I talked to my little daughter-in-law last time became more firm.

"Since the picture of the family living together is very good, and since the daughter-in-law said that she likes the small yard very much, and she will be reluctant to move out in the future, it is time to settle this matter as soon as possible, so that she and her parents in Guangdong can settle their minds......"

Anyway, there is nothing to do at present, or the most important thing has not begun to erupt, the old man is chatting and walking with his grandfather every day, and there is no need to start at all, rather than being idle like this, it is better to take advantage of the time to implement the same important things first.

So after lunch, I came up with the idea of going out with my little daughter-in-law.

Just looked at me twice, and my parents readily agreed, saying that they also planned to go out for a walk, familiarize themselves with the provincial capital, and don't need us to worry, they are also very relieved to have Xiaowei take care of me. And although Zhang Xiaowei didn't understand what medicine I was selling, she didn't object.

Mom and Dad know that we need space for two people, the key is that they themselves have thought about the world of two people, and they think we are following the eyesore, so after deciding to go out, Dad handed over the car keys to Zhang Xiaowei, let us come back early, don't be outside for too long, after all, there are still injuries, don't care where they go, in case they really can't find the way back, they will take the initiative to call us.

So after my parents left for a while, Zhang Xiaowei also drove me to the store in Dongcheng Old Street.

I haven't been to the store for a year, and I came back for a few days, and I only passed by the door when I first arrived, because I was in the car for several hours, and I didn't get out of the car because I was really uncomfortable, and I went directly to Sister Yun's house to rest. After all, it is not only the place where the little daughter-in-law has poured all her efforts into this year, but also the base camp where I will settle down in the provincial capital in the future, and I must pay attention to it.

Linfu Hall has not changed much, and it is still the same as when I was at the time, but when I decided to really take this place as a career, the little daughter-in-law listened to Yuan Rotten's slander and followed the nonsense, and put on the Taoist robe to take the poster, which has been removed from the window, and replaced by a more professional, more stylish, rather quiet, a landscape painting with Tai Chi gossip on the side. From the outside, except for the antique three-word plaque of "Linfu Pavilion" on the door, there is no other word, so that people who don't understand can't understand what kind of store this is.

I wondered about this, I couldn't even understand what this place was for, so how could it play a propaganda role? But the little daughter-in-law told me that now relying on the door advertising to pull business is outdated, especially our industry, but also need to highlight the higher taste and style than other peers, the real word-of-mouth, through those who have come to the oral tradition to do, not those messy advertising to attract, for people who really have needs, "Linfuguan" three words are enough, those exaggerated slogans are more, but it will make people feel very fake, it looks like those who have no real ability, It makes no difference to walk with crooks who rely entirely on deception.

Thinking about it carefully, what the little daughter-in-law said is indeed quite reasonable, especially when I think about it for more than half a year, she dragged the unreliable Yuan rotten person alone, and Yang Xiaotian, who was still very immature, not only supported the store, but also earned more than 100,000 yuan, and suddenly felt that this was simply the golden rule of truth in the world.

Such a powerful little daughter-in-law, why didn't you let me meet her a few years earlier, to be exact, why didn't I find out how powerful she was a few years earlier?

Fortunately, it's not too late to find out now, or it's just right, otherwise you should regret it for life.

When I entered the store, I found that compared with the interior of the grocery store when I was before, it was already a different world, re-renovated, the layout was simple and elegant, the key is that the doors and windows that did not look much changed, obviously also re-thickened and soundproofed, the noise on the street was almost completely isolated from the outside, and the quiet fell as if a needle could be heard, coupled with the soft lighting, quite a quiet and simple meaning. In the past, most of the dazzling shelves that filled the store as much as possible have disappeared, only a small row of three-tier shelves is retained on the left wall, and some amulets and pendant bracelets are vaguely placed, replaced by some classical and exquisite ornaments and potted plants, and the paintings have also been taken away, only on the wall facing the door, there are three simple lines of Sanqing statue paintings, and they are specially used for soft light, and the one in the window is also simple and simple. Except for a few small sofas for receiving guests, some potted plants and ornaments, only the square table I used to draw pictures has been preserved.

As for the wall of the small room, the slightly pompous second-hand desk and boss chair that I had found were replaced by a small counter, so that the computer monitor could not be seen from the outside.

When I was away, the counter had become an exclusive place for little women, not to mention that Yang Xiaotian, who had always been obedient, would not mess in, even Yuan Rotten, who liked to choke with her, would not easily break in.

These are just visible things, and in the invisible place, Zhang Xiaowei has established cooperative relations with Shi Shusheng and several other colleagues who returned to the provincial capital after the turmoil in the industry, and they usually share any news. When encountering things that do not require Yuan Rotten to go out in person, they will leave it to them to do, and when they encounter tricky things, they will also ask for help here.

Since when I was still in my hometown, my little daughter-in-law basically never told me this, so I listened to her tell me these things with a hint of pride all the way, and when I came to the store to see these changes, I heard something incredible.

In short, although the little woman cannot be said to be an insider, she has also built a cooperation network that has begun to take shape through her own efforts and has gained a firm foothold in the provincial capital. Although the dedicated help of Sister Yun and Yuan Jinzhu is indispensable, and even Luo Wenxin has some help openly and secretly, it is quite rare to be able to do this level when he knows a lot of things in the industry.

If nothing else, let's just say that Yuan and I, if the two of us come, it is very likely that we will not be able to do so well at all.

Today, I just went out and came to the store to have a look, and the main purpose was not here, so like a king inspecting his own territory, I chatted with Yang Xiaotian who was watching the store and was sleeping in the room after just eating, and after chatting with Yuan Rotten who didn't want to get up for a while, my little daughter-in-law and I left the store again, drove across the old city, and drove towards Luo Wenxin's villa.

On the day he returned to the provincial capital, Luo Wenxin, who came back after staying at my house for a few days, came over to have a meal together, and he hasn't come back since, and I don't know how he usually lives alone since he broke his hand and the original nanny Xiaoyu also abandoned him with the family's belongings.

This point, even the little daughter-in-law who is also in the provincial capital and will contact and care about it on my behalf from time to time has never been clear, so the purpose of going to him today is to take a good look at how he lives alone, and if it is appropriate, by the way, I will also mention the idea of buying a small triad from him.

If you really settle down in the provincial capital, in the case of my family, it is naturally the best to have an independent residence, and the size is only secondary, so that in the future, my father will occasionally come up to live in a small place, it will be more convenient, not as crowded as living in a community building, and there is no place for people to even have a foot. Now that you have this idea, no matter whether you open your mouth or not, you will have to open it sooner or later, and it is better to be more simple than twisting and pinching.

However, what I didn't expect was that there was no contact in advance, originally to give Luo Wenxin a small "surprise", but when my little daughter-in-law and I bought some gifts for visiting on the way, and when we came to the gate of his villa community, we found that we seemed to have come to the wrong place.

After nearly a year, I had a series of entanglements at the beginning, and it seems that the property manager Zheng who also escaped the turmoil later, is still not knowing, in short, the security guard who watched the gate was quite faceless, and there was no impression of seeing it at all. When I reported Luo Wenxin's name and house number, the other party verified it but said that there was no such person, and the information did not match, and then asked Zhang Xiaowei and me to leave quickly, not to block the road at the gate, as if we were unknown people trying to blend in.

I had no choice but to report Manager Zheng's name and pin my hopes on this person.

Fortunately, Manager Zheng did escape the turmoil at that time, and was not implicated like Minister Yang, the security minister who was more involved, and still worked here, and the impression of me and my little daughter-in-law was quite deep, I heard that it was a young man named Li Nian who said that he knew him, and he came to the gate in person without saying a word, and took us to the office, and then told me that not long after the turmoil subsided, Luo Wenxin transferred the villa out, and now it is a family surnamed Hong who lives, and there is no Luo Wenxin in the list of owners of the community.

"Uncle Luo has already sold the villa a long time ago and lived elsewhere?" I couldn't help but be surprised to hear this news that Luo Wenxin had never mentioned.
