Chapter 928 Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Birth, Old Age, Sickness and Death Are All Things We Must Experience

"My son often goes to the tavern to play. Once when he came home, he told me that he met a very beautiful elder sister and a very good-looking elder brother in the tavern. After that, I asked Xiaochun and she said He’s the new tenant of the courtyard.”

"Besides, it's almost seven o'clock, and most of the tourists have already left. Besides, you look like big stars, so I guess you are probably the new tenants of the courtyard. ." The man paused:

"My name is Yang Guanjun. I set out at six o'clock every night. If you want to eat barbecue, come here. The owner of the courtyard and I are friends. Since you are tenants of the courtyard, I will give you a 10% discount."

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

"Thank you then. Please give me 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 would still remember my preferences." Xu Hongdou looked at Yang Jiao with a smile.

"Okay, do you want wine? The wine I bought is all home-brewed. I don't say how good it tastes, but it's certainly not bad. In terms of alcohol content, it's a little higher than ordinary beer." Yang Guanjun asked.

"Then let's drink." Xu Hongdou replied.

"Okay, you guys sit down first. 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 the racecourse, tie-dye shop and small restaurant in Yunmiao Village, as well as the windy courtyard where we live, were all invested by one person, Xie, who we met at the small restaurant before. far away."

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

"So, I took over various industries in Yunmiao that had become obsolete, and purchased various 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 were losing money."

Yang Jiao raised his eyebrows slightly:

"She told you these, she probably has something else to say."

Xu Hongdou shook his head and laughed:

"As expected, I can't hide it from you. Xiaochun found out that you are a rich man from the time I drove the car, so I wanted to ask you if you have any idea of ​​investing. I said that no matter how much you invest, you are very welcome. Anyway, All of them can boost Yunmiao’s GDP.”

"The folk customs here are simple and the scenery is beautiful. It is indeed worthy of consideration. The most important thing is" Yang Jiao said this, but he didn't know why he kept silent.

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

"I'll tell you later." Yang Jiao said in a melodious tone.

"The most annoying thing is the Riddler like you." Xu Hongdou pouted.

At this time, Yang Guanjun came over with a plate in each hand, and then two glasses of wine and a small drinking cup.

Xu Hongdou took the lead in pouring a glass of wine, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't drink as soon as it's served. Come, eat the skewers first." Yang Jiao handed Xu Hongdou a skewer of meat.

Xu Hongdou finished the meat skewers in his hand, took another sip of wine, and asked involuntarily:

"Have you been traveling alone all these years?"

"Do you think there will be someone who goes deep into the mountains and forests with me all day long?" Yang Jiao said while eating meat skewers:

"In total, the time I spend in the city on and off throughout the year only adds up to a month or two. The rest of the time I am in remote mountains and forests."

“It wasn’t until this year that I felt bored, so I just wanted to find a quiet place with a nice environment to stay for a while.”

After hearing this, Xu Hongdou destroyed another skewer of meat, took another sip of wine, and sighed:

"Actually, I never expected to meet you when I went on a trip this time."

She paused:

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

"So after meeting someone you know, are you happy? Or unhappy?" Yang Jiao asked.

"It's both, but happiness accounts for the majority." Xu Hongdou continued a little drunkenly:

"Before I started working, I just kept studying. After working, I just kept working. Working, working hard, working hard, not giving up, and not falling behind others."

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

She smiled self-deprecatingly:

"After saving some money, I checked the real estate website and found that I could only buy a few square meters."

Xu Hongdou raised his index finger and said happily:

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

"To hear you say it, it's really miserable."

"Didn't they say something online? If your work is not outstanding, if your performance is not outstanding, if you have a protruding disc in your waist, it's especially like me." Xu Hongdou suddenly turned sideways and raised his right foot:

"Look, the arches of my feet are gone. If I stand all day long, they will collapse under my feet."

She put down her feet and shook her head:

"I'm afraid you, a local tycoon, can't understand the hardships of us workers. In order to survive, I have been like clockwork these years. I won't change it until I run out of time."

Yang Jiao took a sip of wine and said:

"Your conditions are not bad, and there is no shortage of food like yours at home. Since you are so strong and don't want to lie flat, it's okay to find a partner with good conditions and change to a lighter job."

Xu Hongdou smiled and asked:

"I want others to have good conditions, and they want me to be a beautiful woman. Then in a few years, I will still be a beautiful woman. How about their conditions?"

"Unfortunately, Mr. Ma said before that I live a transparent life, but you live a more transparent life than me."

"Only what you own is yours." Xu Hongdou took another sip of wine and sighed softly:

"It's better to be a kid, always looking forward to the holidays, then going to my grandma's house, raising chickens, climbing trees, picking wild mulberries, and fishing for shrimps in the stream. When I grow up, all that's left is study and exams. When I work, I have to focus on performance, and then I don’t even care about playing.”

Yang Jiao leisurely said:

"Everyone is like this. When they were young, they looked forward to vacations and growing up. But when they grow up, they realize how rare it is to be carefree as a child."

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

After hearing this, Xu Hongdou seemed to remember something again. Her eyes turned red, and she started to pick up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat the eggplant.

Yang Jiao obviously noticed something and started eating quietly.

About twenty minutes later, Yang Jiao helped Xu Hongdou, who was slightly drunk, out of the small courtyard.

Suddenly, Xu Hongdou, who had been in a very depressed mood, said:

"I resigned and came here because of Chen Nanxing. She and I were college classmates. She is a very, very likable person."

"Even now I can't forget her. It's like a cactus thorn, pierced into your flesh. It doesn't affect you in doing anything, but its presence is very strong. No matter what you do, it will remind you. .It’s there.”

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

"You know that feeling?"

"I know, the thorn is stuck in the flesh and it hurts when touched. I want to pull it out but I can't. However, this thorn will eventually disappear without realizing it."

When Xu Hongdou heard this, he could no longer control his emotions. He hugged Yang Jiao's arm and burst into tears.
