Chapter 2 Old Store

After unloading the luggage, Gu Zheng drove Gu Xi to the edge of the street in Town C again in his minivan. The original old street - the old store of Gu Xi's family is here.

The wheels rolled over the loose stone road, making a rattling sound.Along the side of the street are old houses with white walls and black tiles, and there are some grocery stores open in twos and threes - some stores have no people at all, and some trembling stores are staring round their eyes through the top of the reading glasses Looking out; the other side of the old street is facing the river, and the river is calm without any waves.Everything seemed a little lifeless.

The market towns that formed naturally in the past were usually on the only way for pedestrians. Old Street in Town C is no exception.

This place was originally a col between the two mountains, and there was a small river flowing through it, whether it was ships by water or merchants by land, they all had to pass through here.But with the construction of the road, the waterside became more inconvenient, and was eventually abandoned by development.

Gu Xi was a little worried: "Is it open here?"

"It's good to go to the village to publicize more at that time," Gu Zheng comforted, "The farmers are not young people, and other people will go to the old street to buy agricultural products."

Wangjia Village, less than two kilometers away from here, is Gu Xi's hometown.

It is a small village with beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers. Every household grows rice and peaches with local characteristics on one-third of an acre of land. In addition, they raise some chickens and ducks, and grow some seasonal vegetables.

In my memory, loofahs should already be covered with vines at this time, and cantaloupe exudes a sweet fragrance among the green leaves.

In the past few years when Gu Xi left home, he seldom went back, so he doesn't know what the situation is like now.

Gu Xi shook his head not to recall these things.

He put down the rag and broom borrowed from Gu Zheng's house, and pushed the door panel with his hand.The thick iron chains and heavy iron locks on the door clattered, and when they were moved again, the rust fell down.

He took out the key and twisted the lock with difficulty, and moved down the two door panels, rubbing dust all over his body.

He spit out a couple of mouthfuls of ashes, fumbled for a mask to put on, patted the hem of his clothes casually, and stepped into the door.

The musty smell in the room is a bit heavy, the floor is covered with a layer of dust, and the corners are also moldy.There is no suspended ceiling on the house, clear shingles can be seen, and thick spider webs are knotted in the corners.Apart from these, it actually looks quite tidy. In the empty room, there is only one glass showcase placed against the wall, which makes the space even bigger.

Gu Xi reckoned that if it was divided into two, it would be no problem to place a small bed.

The entire store was in a concave shape with a somewhat antique structure. Gu Xi opened the two symmetrical small doors at the back, unexpectedly connecting to a small square courtyard.

The yard is not big, only about ten square meters, with some urns and vats piled up.There is a big mountain behind the yard, and the trees are so lush that there is not much sunlight leaking from the small yard.The courtyard is covered with a layer of green and fluffy moss, and the moss is covered with leaves and small wild fruits.

The rain that fell last night still left traces, and the water droplets hanging from the treetops dripped into the water tank, making a gurgling sound.

This place seems to be another cool little world, completely different from the fiery restlessness outside.Gu Xi stretched greatly, and there was a comfortable sound between the joints that hadn't been stretched for a long time.

The breeze blew through the treetops, and the coolness cooled the brain. Gu Xi had an idea, and turned around to clean up the sanitation first.

When Gu Zheng stepped on the fiery red sunset to pick him up, Gu Xi was still tidying up and forgetting himself.

"Let's go, let's do it tomorrow." Gu Zheng rolled down the window and shouted in the car, "Are you thirsty, don't you even have water?"

"Oh, it's already this time!" Gu Xi scratched his face, leaving a dark fingerprint, "Fortunately, I'm a little thirsty, I forgot..."

"You," Gu Zheng smiled helplessly, "Then get in the car and go home quickly, what's the matter?"

"I checked it out, and I have to ask an electrician to re-wire the wires, and the roof needs to be installed, and a sink is built in the yard..."

Gu Zheng nodded, kicked the accelerator and blasted back to the small apartment.

Although the small apartment sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.When Gu Xi came out of the shower, Gu Zheng had already set up a small round table in the living room and set up dinner.

Gu Xi rubbed his belly that was rumbling uncontrollably, his little face was going to be red.He hesitated and said: "Brother Xiaozheng, let me do it next time..."

"Don't stand around stupidly, come and eat quickly." Gu Zheng said to him, "Go to the car and help me move things after eating."

Gu Xi picked up his rice bowl and grinned, "That's great!"

He quickly finished his meal, took the car keys and ran downstairs.He opened the back cover of the car and saw that there was only a long mattress with a milky white diagonal check in the whole car.He pressed it with his hand, it should be a single mattress.

Gu Xi's little heart beat violently twice, he raised his head and glanced upstairs.Gu Zheng happened to be standing on the balcony, met his gaze, smiled and waved.

It was night, and Gu Xi was lying on a new mattress, next to Gu Zheng's bed, the electric fan that shook his head was blowing from Gu Zheng all the way to him, and then turned back again.

He turned over a few times, feeling frustrated.

"What's the matter, are there mosquitoes?" Gu Zheng asked him in the dark.

"No." Gu Xi buried half of his face in the quilt, and said in a low voice, "I feel so useless..."

"Huh? What happened before?"

"Well, I can't bear it after a few words from others, and I will trouble you when I come back...Brother Xiaozheng, you are so kind to me..."

A few cheerful laughs from Gu Zheng came from the whirring fan, and Gu Xi only heard him say: "Then wait until your business is booming in the future, and then come to honor your brother."

"Yeah!" Gu Xi also laughed.

Tomorrow is another day.

After less than half a month, Gu Xi's store was almost cleaned up.After simple wall painting and decoration, the whole store looks much brighter.

According to his plan, one side of the store was blocked to make his future residence. A small bathroom was newly built on the same side of the small courtyard, and a rain shelter was built in the gap with the house. kitchen utensils.A faucet is installed in the concave shape behind the storefront, which is barely complete.

Gu Zheng took a look around and thought it was good, feeling a little relieved.He praised Gu Xi a few words, and said: "The house has just been renovated and it will take a while to hang out. Take advantage of this time to get the documents you need, and I will bring some goods over for you."

Gu Xi looked at Gu Zheng gratefully: "I see."

Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Is the money still enough?"

Gu Xi nodded lightly: "There are still some left after selling the old house..."

"Okay." Gu Zheng changed the subject and gently revealed it, "Have you decided on a name for the store?"

Mentioning this, Gu Xi was a little embarrassed, his voice was not much louder than that of a mosquito, and he replied: "I think about it, call Tiantianquan Agricultural Technology Service Center."
