This glance made the things that Ouyang De didn't think about last night become clear in this eye, he couldn't leave the people here and everything here, he fell in love with this strange and familiar place. He told himself he would be back, and that he would be back soon.

This night, Ouyang De had insomnia, this was also the first insomnia after he came here and adapted to the life here, many times he would slowly fall asleep in the process of thinking and thinking, but tonight he was incompetent and couldn't fall asleep. The feeling in my heart is not that fanatical, but calm, and I seem to think more deeply than I ever thought about the problem before. Although Zhang Laohan is concerned a lot in his words, can he leave like this in the future after taking over this burden? In that case, he knew too well that people here would see him as persona non grata. But is that really what he wants? A short escape from the city doesn't mean he'll live like this forever.

Ouyang De likes the people here and the life here, simple and simple. This is a completely different place from Chongqing, there are mountains, but there are not as many as Chongqing, but it is much higher than the mountains of Chongqing, the mountains are far away, and the woods full of mountains have the quietness that the city does not have; There is water, but it is not as big as Chongqing, but it is much clearer than the river water in Chongqing, and the thin trickle has a faint sweetness of mountain springs, which can be drunk in your mouth when you take a sip; There are rooms, but they are not as high as Chongqing, but they are warmer than Chongqing's, and there are always many places in each room that make you feel warm, which is worth your stop; There are people, but not as dense as Chongqing, but much simpler than the people of Chongqing, people's minds will not have the idea of giving up themselves in order to survive, a simple and good life is their only wish; There are people coming and going, but it is not as complicated as Chongqing, but it is much more singular than Chongqing, and most of the people come and go to relax, so that the irritable mood in the city can be adjusted. It is this place that allows Ouyang De to live here for a year and a half, and in this year and a half, although his heart has a lot of concern for the city, after learning and adapting to the life here, he slowly feels that the world is a little purer and simpler, which is actually really good. But whether he can live like this will allow him to live for the rest of his life, but he is really not sure about this. After so many years of hard study, what are you working hard for after going to work? Maybe whatever it is, but at least not for the sake of selling a lifetime of liquor on this side street like it is today.

The wind outside the window has the sound of breaking through the air, but there is no irritating feeling in your ears, everything is so peaceful and harmonious. Ouyang De doesn't know if he is disrupting the harmony here, why there are so many choices in life that he doesn't know how to face and choose, is this life, this is the artistic conception that people can't get out of in life!!

At dawn, Ouyang De woke up his mind in the rooster crow, temporarily put aside the reason that he hadn't figured out all night, and the series of actions of getting up and opening the door and sweeping the floor were all repeated by him every day, but it never made him feel a little bored.

"Ade"

Listening to this voice, Ouyang De knew that it was Zhang Laohan who got up.

"Uncle early!"

"Morning. I'm too lazy to have you, I used to do this with your aunt. Now it's all on you. ”

"Look at what you said, it's not a tiring thing, you should rest more when you're old, I'm still here, I have the spirit and strength."

"I like you like this, hey~~ It's a pity that I don't have this blessing to have a son like you, otherwise my old man would have gone with peace of mind."

"You're here again, aren't I your son!"

"Oh, well, good boy! When do you plan to go back to Chongqing? ”

"I think if all the guests are gone today, I'll go back today, and it shouldn't affect the business if I come back by the end of next week."

"Don't worry, since you want to go back, you will play for a few more days, you haven't been with your parents for a long time, you can't be like my unfilial son, and there will be no news when you leave your parents at home. You young people don't understand the hearts of old men! Zhang Laohan looked out the door as he spoke, and in his heart he was always thinking about the son who left his hometown ten years ago and had no news.

"Hey, I see." How could Ouyang De not know Zhang Laohan's heart, but he also knew that no matter what he did, he could never replace Zhang Laohan's son, and the only thing he could do was to try not to stimulate the old man's heart.

"Ade, come here," Zhang Laohan walked to the back of the counter.

Ouyang De walked over and saw Zhang Laohan take out a stack of money from his arms, and then handed it to Ouyang De. "What are you~~~?"

"You can't go home empty-handed! This is also what you should have, you haven't asked the old man for a penny of wages for a year and a half, the old man knows that you don't dislike the old man for giving less money, but you should always give it to you. ”

"Uncle~~~~~~"

Ouyang De originally wanted to refuse, he hadn't used up the money Wu Zhengyang gave him when he left Chongqing, he almost didn't need any money here, except for some daily necessities and buying books, he almost didn't need to spend money, so he was not short of money, this tavern business was good, but the money earned in a year and a half would not be a lot, after all, the consumption and income here were not high. And Ouyang De didn't plan to ask for wages in the first place, if Zhang Laohan didn't let him stay at the beginning, he didn't know what would happen to him in the past year and a half. But before his words came out, Zhang Laohan blocked him back.

"Ade, if you don't take the old man, I'm really angry."

"Oh well! When I look back, I'll sell you something in Chongqing, what you like, and come back to honor your old man. ”

"When you have time, just remember to help the old man buy a new dress, and when you come back from Chongqing, the old man will teach you this little skill, so that you can have an explanation to your ancestors."

"Okay then" Ouyang De took the stack of money in Zhang Laohan's hand, which was estimated to be about 10,000 yuan, and he really didn't know how to describe it. Knowing that there was no point in saying anything more, he turned around and began to continue his daily "work" again.

By noon, almost all the customers in the store were gone, because it was Sunday, and many people had to rush back to work, so the store was much cleaner after noon, but there were still two fewer customers who might have a holiday, so they stayed in the store. Ouyang De went back to the house to clean up, and he didn't carry the bag he had when he came, he deliberately just used a small handbag to pack a few close-fitting clothes, said goodbye to Zhang Laohan and left. This is a hailing station for a long-distance line, so it is still very convenient for Ouyang De to take the car, and after waiting for almost half an hour to get on the bus, Ouyang De glanced back at the town, but this glance made Ouyang De's heart churn. For a year and a half, he has lived in this small town, everything here is so familiar, and the people here are so familiar, as if this is his home. This glance made the things that Ouyang De didn't think about last night become clear in this eye, he couldn't leave the people here and everything here, he fell in love with this strange and familiar place. He told himself he would be back, and that he would be back soon.
