"My son often goes to the small restaurant to play, once as soon as he came home, he told me that he met a very beautiful big sister and a very good-looking big brother in the small restaurant, and then I asked Xiaochun, and I heard her say that she was a new tenant in the small courtyard."

"Plus, it's almost seven o'clock, most of the people who come to visit have already left, and you look like big stars, so I guess nine out of ten of you are new tenants from the small courtyard." The man's tone paused:

"My name is Yang Guanguan, I go out of the stall at six o'clock every night, and I come over if I want to eat barbecue, I and the owner of the small courtyard are small, since I am a tenant of the small courtyard, I will give you a nine-percent discount."

Xu Hongdou looked at the dishes on the stall and said:

"Then thank you, more vegetables and meat skewers."

"Boss, remember to have an eggplant and a few more skewers of shrimp." Yang Jiao interjected.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, you still remember my preferences." Xu Hongdou looked at Yang Jiao with a smile.

"Okay, do you want wine? The sake I bought here is home-brewed, and the taste is not very good, but it is certainly not bad, and the degree is a little higher than that of ordinary beer. Yang Guanguan asked.

"Then come with wine." Xu Hongdou replied.

"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll bring it to you when it's baked."

Immediately, Yang Jiao and Xu Hongdou found a free table.

"I knew from Xiaochun before that what kind of horse farms, tie-dye workshops and small restaurants in Yunmiao Village, as well as the windy courtyard where we lived, were all invested by one person, and it was Xie Zhiyao who we met in the small restaurant before."

"Xiaochun even told me that her eldest brother gave up a good job in the capital and returned to the countryside to start a business, mainly to provide jobs for people with poor conditions in the village and lead the villagers to make money."

"So, he took over Yunmiao's various industries that had turned yellow, and purchased all kinds of agricultural products in the village that were not easy to sell at market prices, and then used the money earned to subsidize other businesses that lost money."

Yang Jiao's eyebrows raised slightly:

"She told you this, she should have something else to say."

Xu Hongdou shook his head and smiled:

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Xiaochun drove from Ling, didn't he find out that you were a rich man, so I wanted to ask you if you have any ideas for investment, saying that no matter how much you invest, you are extremely welcome, and it can boost Yunmiao's GDP anyway."

"The people here are simple and the scenery is beautiful, it is indeed worth considering, and the most important thing is that Yang Jiao said this, and somehow kept silent.

"What's the most important thing?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously.

"I'll tell you later." Yang Jiao's tone was melodious.

"The most annoying thing is a riddler like you." Xu Hongdou pouted.

At this time, Yang Guanguan came over with a plate in each hand, and then brought two glasses of wine, as well as a small glass of drinking.

Xu Hongdou took the lead in pouring a glass of wine, took a sip, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Don't drink as soon as you come up, come, eat skewers first." Yang Jiao handed Xu Hongdou a skewer of meat.

Xu Hongdou finished eating the meat skewers in his hand, took another sip of wine, and couldn't help asking:

"Have you been traveling alone all these years?"

"Do you think someone will drill deep in the mountains and forests with me all day long?" Yang Jiao said while eating meat skewers:

"Calculated that the time I spend in the city on and off throughout the year adds up to only one or two months, and the rest of the time I am in the remote mountains and forests."

"I didn't get bored until this year, so I wanted to find a secluded and good place to stay for a while."

After listening to this, Xu Hongdou eliminated another string of meat skewers, took another sip of wine, and sighed:

"Actually, this time I came out to travel, I didn't expect to meet you."

She paused:

"Don't you know, the purpose of my coming out this time is to find a place where no one knows me, and to be a useless waster seriously."

"Are you happy when you meet an acquaintance? Still not happy? Yang Jiao asked.

"It's a bit of both, but it's the most fun." Xu Hongdou continued a little drunkly:

"Before I worked, I was always studying. After studying, working, it is always working. Work, work hard and work hard, do not admit defeat, and do not fall behind. ”

"Let me tell you, when I graduated, the money I saved was enough for me to buy a few square meters of house in the capital, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye."

She smiled self-deprecatingly:

"After saving some money, I opened the real estate website and looked at it, but I could only buy a few square meters."

Xu Hongdou raised his index finger and said happily in bitterness:

"No house, no car, no object, only illness."

"It's really miserable to hear you say that."

"Didn't you say something on the Internet, what kind of work is not outstanding, the performance is not outstanding, and the waist disc is protruding, it is especially like me." Xu Hongdou suddenly turned to the side and raised his right foot:

"You see, the arch of the foot is gone, and I stand all day long, and I am directly trampled on it."

She lowered her feet and shook her head:

"I'm afraid you can't understand the bitterness of our workers, in order to live, I've been like clockwork all these years, and I don't want to change it if I don't run to the slippery silk."

Yang Jiao took a sip of wine and said:

"Your conditions are not bad, and there is no shortage of your stuttering at home, since you are so strong and unwilling to lie down, it is okay to find a person with good conditions and change to an easy job."

Xu Hongdou asked with a smile:

"I want other people's conditions to be good, and others want me to be a big beauty, so after a few years, I will still be a big beauty, is that people's condition good?"

"Master Ma said before that I live transparently, and you live more transparently than me."

"What you have is your own." Xu Hongdou took another sip of wine and sighed lightly:

"It's still good when I was a child, I always look forward to the holidays, and then I go to my grandmother's house, raise chickens, go to trees, pick wild mulberries, go to the stream to fish for shrimp, and when I grow up, I have to study and take exams, and I have to rush to performance when I work, and I can't take care of playing anymore."

Yang Jiao said leisurely:

"Everyone is like this, when they were young, they looked forward to the holidays and growing up, but when they grew up, they realized how rare it was to be carefree when they were young."

"But no matter what, this is life, joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death, are all things that we have to experience, so, as I said before, people who pay too much attention to details are not destined to be happy."

After hearing this, Xu Hongdou seemed to remember something again, his eyes were red, and he began to take chopsticks and eat eggplant with his head down.

Yang Jiao saw something, so he ate quietly.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Jiao helped Xu Hongdou, who was a little drunk, to the outside of the small courtyard.

Suddenly, Xu Hongdou, who had been in a very low mood, spoke:

"I quit my job and came here because of Chen Nanxing, I was a college classmate with her, and she was a very likable person."

"Even now, I can't forget her, it's like a cactus thorn, pierced in your flesh, it doesn't affect you to do anything, but it has a very strong sense of existence, that is, whatever you do, it will remind you. It's there. ”

She looked up at Yang Jiao with tears in her eyes:

"You know what that feels like?"

"I know, the thorn is pierced in the flesh, and it hurts when you touch it, and you can't pull it out if you want to, but this thorn will eventually disappear before you know it."

When Xu Hongdou heard this, he couldn't control the emotions in his heart anymore, and directly hugged Yang Jiao's arm and cried bitterly.
