City D, located in the southwestern part of China, is very different from City A. This small and refined prefecture-level city is full of energy, but also lazy and charming.

Walking on the street, there are few people in a hurry, and most of them are strollers in the courtyard.

Take a walk by the river in the evening, teahouses and small restaurants are almost everything.

People here never seem to be in a hurry, and there are not only old men and aunts who are chatting and laughing while drinking tea in the teahouse, and there are also many young people.

It's even worse in the fly restaurant, the business is booming, once you pass there, the tangy and spicy smell can make a person hungry.

Especially on weekends, it seems that people in the whole city are on holiday, and the commercial street is full of pedestrians from morning till night.

This pleasant city seems to have no idea how the word "urgent" is written, and it is true that there is no need to rush. If something happens, you can take a taxi and get from the south of the city to the north of the city in half an hour.

The most amazing thing is a plant called Huangge tree that is planted all over the city.

When he first arrived in City D, Su Cheng was shocked by the greenness of the city in the cold winter months.

He is a native of the north. In his memory, the appearance of winter is bare trees, white snow and icicles. When has he seen such a vivid winter.

The yellow kudzu tree is like a banyan tree, it can form a forest by itself, Su Cheng has seen the biggest one here... it takes several people to hug it.But it is obviously different from the banyan tree. Its leaves can grow to be bigger than a palm, thick and oval, and the whole tree is tall and dense.

Even in winter, it is still green and lush, as if the winter in the southwest has nothing to do with it, a bowl of Gaiwan tea, a pot of butter hot pot... This winter, just talking and laughing, has passed.

However, even such a calm brave man can lose all the leaves in one night in early summer.

So, when Su Cheng finally recovered from his injuries and went out one morning and saw fallen leaves all over the street, he was shocked.

The ancients used "thousands of trees and pear blossoms" to describe the snow scene, but this yellow kudzu tree is also poetic, and "one night the wind is rushing and the ground is yellow" to describe the early summer.This feeling of dislocation in time and space really makes people secretly wonder whether autumn has come early...

But before those sad emotions had time to ferment, I heard the girls passing by holding hands discussing that the skirts in the live broadcast room of a certain anchor are so beautiful, and the ice cream sold in a certain live broadcast room is delicious.

——It’s the taste of summer!

Su Cheng: "..."

This is also... too inappropriate.

However, they didn't seem to see a field of fallen leaves at all, and walked away talking and laughing... They had seen such a scene year after year, and there was nothing new about it.

But he, an outsider, made such a fuss.

Su Cheng smiled, and when he suddenly looked up, he saw that the branches were already covered with new tender tips.One by one, the green and purple-red tips are crowded with the branches, and after a few days, they will be covered with new bright yellow and green clothes.

Just one glance is enough to make people happy.

This is really a city full of life and charm.

When Su Cheng came, he was suddenly reluctant to leave, so he just stayed.

Find a house, find a job, discuss life.

He thought, maybe he is suitable in such a slow-paced city, unhurried, wandering around, eating delicious food, and staring in a daze...

Under the yellow kudzu tree in the afternoon, basking in the sun that inadvertently leaked, recalling my first love that was not good, and looking forward to buying a rattan chair and raising a fat cat when I am old... life is comfortable and peaceful.

In fact, the world is still very beautiful, it's just that I lived in a moldy rain alley in the past, but now I'm basking in the southwestern sun, everything... seems to be different.

Or maybe, although the first love failed, that person did not come for nothing after all. He planted a seed called kindness in his heart—because he couldn't bear to let down that first green shoot, and it was enough for him to face it bravely. For all the haze of the past.

It's hard to live, but when you die, you really have nothing.

There is a saying that is very good - live well, because we will die for a long time.

……

I have injured my right hand since I hit it. Although the wound has healed now, leaving only an ugly red scar, but because I "run away" at the beginning, the wound was infected once. Now when it is rainy, the wound will be itchy and painful, as if Bitten by ants.

In this way, Su Cheng can't do the physical work that needs to waste his brain the most. Even if he tells people that he is left-handed, it won't delay his work, and if he wants to move bricks, they don't want to.

Su Cheng comforted himself, it's okay, look for it again.

As everyone knows, he just left, wearing a hard hat, the big-armed contractor turned around and chatted with the workers next to him, "Hey, why do these young masters like to come to the construction site to experience life?"

"How do you know he's a young master? Looking at his pretty face, maybe he's a duck?" A worker laughed loudly.

Another worker also laughed: "Haha, boss, don't tell me, his face is definitely enough to be a duck."

"Go, go, so you can only move bricks and plaster cement, but I can be a contractor." The contractor's helmet shook and he spat, "Just from your eyes...you didn't realize that the young man just now, Spiky hair is reckless, with this personality, which woman would dare to sleep with him?"

"Yes yes yes...you are right." A group of workers laughed "haha" with a playful smile, and turned their heads, "over there, what do we have for lunch? Yesterday's fish-flavored shredded pork and couple's lung slices, How about another one today?"

"Eat a hammer, my sister-in-law came to do it for me yesterday,"

The contractor couldn't help spitting again, "Hurry up and go to work, don't be lazy, go back and see that your mother-in-law is messing with you, you won't lose the life and appearance of the young master, don't try to reach the sky in one step, or your ears will be pulled again, you watch the ball Grandpa takes care of you."

The workers laughed "haha" again, but the workers begging for food were speechless and coaxed everyone to leave.

……

In this way, Su Cheng searched for several days, but failed to find a suitable job. The main reason was that he had no education, no work experience, and he could not understand the local people's language. He could not do many jobs that did not require technical content. Can't do it again.

On this day, Su Cheng looked at the only 20 yuan left in his pocket and felt worried. If this continues, he may only be able to "beg for trouble".

Begging is also a local dialect that he has only learned in the past two days, which means a beggar.

But just because of his appearance, people will think he is a liar if he goes to talk to others.

Su Cheng sighed helplessly, spent a dollar to buy a bottle of mineral water, found a random kudzu tree and sat down against it.

It's really not easy to live, but how can he be afraid of living as a person who is not even afraid of death.

Su Cheng looked up at a ray of sunlight leaking through the branches and leaves, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He is used to being poor. Although he lived a luxurious life after meeting Ren Xinyi, everyone said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. go on.

"Hey, I'm so worried. You said that if we can't find someone who can draw pets for her in a while, our business will be ruined. You say this person is a quirk, and he has to draw a portrait and take a photo How easy."

The voice of the young girl complaining reached Su Cheng who was resting under the tree.

Then came the voice of a young man.

"My dear daughter-in-law, let's calm down first. Aren't we going to an art school? Let's go and ask first. I don't believe that such a big school can't find a dog painter. Besides, the customer is God. Let's take It’s okay to do things with money, but don’t be angry.”

"I'm not angry, I'm just depressed. You said her time is so tight, can the students in the school have that time?"

Su Cheng's heart moved slightly, he stepped out of the shade of the tree, and arrived in front of the two of them.

I saw that the two people talking were very young. The woman wore a ponytail, white suspenders, and light blue denim shorts, looking youthful and energetic, while the man looked lazy, dressed in the same simple black T and casual shorts, with feet I also stepped on flip flops.

They seem to be a very friendly couple.

Su Cheng was determined in his heart, and when the corner of his mouth was raised, he gave a sweet smile, and the two dimples on his cheeks suddenly appeared, filled with the sunshine in the early summer afternoon, pure and beautiful, "Hey, how are you!"

The two were stopped for no reason, and they were about to explode, but seeing Su Cheng's smile, they were not annoyed immediately, and the man asked with a smile: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I'm here to help you." Su Cheng smiled again, this time the smile widened, revealing a row of neat little white teeth.

The young woman blinked.

Wow, this summer turns out to be the smell of milk marshmallows.

I don't know if Su Cheng's smiling offensive played a role, or if these two are casual young people, the three of them chatted on the side of the road like this, and soon, the three of them roughly made a deal.

Su Cheng knew that the two were a young couple who ran a pet shop by themselves.

Recently, they met a customer who was very timid and ordered three expensive dogs from their home in a row. Now the goods have not been delivered, but the other party asked them to paint a portrait of each dog.

The customer was adamant that if they couldn't provide the service, they could only get a refund.

You must know that for these three dogs, the young couple has already invested a lot of energy and money in running around, and now they have to lose a lot of money if they are returned.

The two bosses also knew that Su Cheng was a northerner with no father or mother. He originally came to D city to join his relatives based on his memory, but the relatives had already moved away. Work.

This reason is really a bit old. Nowadays, it is so convenient to call WeChat, and there are no relatives that cannot be found. Su Cheng can only express embarrassingly that the "relatives" he mentioned are actually his father's ex-fiancee. Married to someone else, but married his own mother...

Su Cheng opened his eyes and talked nonsense, while silently saying sorry to Su Qiming in his heart: Anyway, you always leave early, and you haven't suffered much, so don't be upset if I arrange it now, it won't happen, it depends on my arrangement My mother!

And the young couple also felt that they had watched a romantic drama, especially how the young man in front of him looked like a young master from a rich family. Now he looks like... It's not so much that he came to seek refuge with his relatives, it's better to say that he had a quarrel with his family, runaway……

I don't know what the two of them have imagined, anyway, in the end, seeing that Su Cheng really doesn't look like a bad guy, and anxious to solve the problem at hand, they also agreed to let Su Cheng try.

Su Cheng didn't know what the two of them were thinking, so he immediately said that he didn't need to be paid, as long as he had a place to live and something to eat during the painting period.

Young couple: "..."

The young couple became even more determined, isn't this the way the rich young master ran away from home?

It has to be said that from some angles, they are also the truth.

They were all young people, and they didn't have so many twists and turns. The three of them went to the stationery store together, bought tools, and then went back to the store to start preparing to draw.

Su Cheng moved very quickly. After looking at the photo of the dog, he sketched the outline in two hours.

Xia Wanwan, the lady proprietress of the pet shop was very satisfied after seeing it, but she didn't dare to take it too seriously, so she took a picture and showed it to the client. The picture should be bigger and can be hung in the living room.

This time, Xia Wanwan was relieved of Su Cheng's painting skills, so she drove Luo Xuebin out to buy large painting paper.

It is not a matter of a day or two if these three large paintings really need to be carefully refined.

Xia Wanwan and Luo Xuebin saw that Su Cheng was down-to-earth, so they left him to sleep in the pet shop at night. Although he slept in the grocery store, at least he had a place to stay.

After more than a month, Su Cheng finally played with painting, and the client over there was very satisfied. He gladly accepted the painting and dog, and praised Su Cheng's painting greatly.

Xia Wanwan and Luo Xuebin were also happy. After getting along for a month, both of them felt that Su Cheng was a good person. Not only was he good at drawing, but he also spared no effort to help the shop when he was painting. I don't have a temper, and I am very down-to-earth as a shit-shoveling officer.

The two people's business is also on the right track now, and they are planning to invite someone, so they told Su Cheng about their idea. Su Cheng only thought about it for 2 minutes, and then readily agreed.

For him, dealing with pets is much easier than dealing with people.

Although animals are not easy to communicate with, and there are even vicious dogs and cats occasionally, people's hearts are even more unpredictable. Even Ren Xinyi is kind-hearted, and he likes to deceive people.
