"Tangerines, newly released tangerines..."

Along the street, Lian Ge moved his feet, one person and one mouse drifted away in the city.

Night has fallen, but the city is still bustling with prosperity.

The night was also dispersed by the lights of thousands of houses, and was blocked from this bustling.

All kinds of people and brightly lit shops and homes in the city pass by,

The sound of hawking, yelling, and joyful or sad conversations are intertwined,

"...Hey, that bastard in my family is not a law-abiding person, he just messes around all day, and now he ran out to open a small shop..."

"Have you opened a shop yet? It's because your children are progressing, unlike my children, who are not progressing. They have been in the current company for so long before they can barely become a manager."

"Your son is also good..."

Three old ladies stood side by side, from Lian Ge's side, two of them were in high spirits, and the remaining one was silent.

"...Dad, I want to eat ice cream..."

"This... your mother told you to eat less of these things."

"dad……"

"...Then don't be like last time, your mother will recruit you as soon as she asks."

"Well! Dad, let's go here, there is a supermarket here..."

A little girl grabbed her father's hand and ran past Lian Ge.

……

"...Mom, I'm sorry."

"...Silly boy, what are you talking about, how can you be sorry for Mom."

Beside the street, a young man was squatting in front of the bus sign, talking on the phone with his mother,

It happened that the three old ladies walked past the young man, listening to the words of the two old ladies, and then glanced at the silent old lady next to him,

The young man was silent for a while, turned around while clutching his phone, and said to his mother on the other end of the phone with some sobs.

"...Xiaoyu, is there something wrong with you? Did something happen outside? You must tell Mom if you have something to do."

On the other end of the phone, listening to his child's apology, his mother was a little nervous and asked quickly.

"...No, that's, that's..."

Listening to his mother's nervous words, the young man seemed even more uncomfortable. He grabbed his hair, pulled it, and said choked up,

"...My son is useless, has no ability, has been out for so long, and still... still like this, nothing, work is still the same... After so long, he still has nothing to do...Every New Year's holiday, everyone gathers together, When they talk about their children, you can only be silent...I...for so many years, I have never made you proud...proud. "

"...I'm sorry, Mom, I'm worthless..."

Hearing his son's crying words, the other end of the phone fell silent,

"...What are you talking about, son, we don't compare to these. As long as you are safe and sound outside, mom will be at ease and mom will be happy. Besides, those from other people's houses are no better than my son."

"mom……"

……

Listening to the mixed voices beside him, one person and one mouse gradually moved forward along the street,

Lian Ge looked into the distance, while the little white mouse turned its head and looked around.

Beside him, the city and the people of this city are still passing by.

……

"...Daughter-in-law, after the stall is closed, you can check it online... I think the weather is getting colder, and I will buy some more clothes for our parents."

On the side of the street, behind a food stall, the middle-aged stall owner wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to his busy wife beside him,

"Success." The wife paused when she heard the words, and then nodded.

Hearing his wife's response, the middle-aged stall owner smiled,

"...By the way, when you're ready to buy it, take a closer look and buy one for yourself." Laughing, the middle-aged stall owner said again,

"Then I'll show you one too." The wife turned her head back, "You haven't bought any clothes for a long time, it's time to buy another one."

"Why do I buy clothes? Last year's clothes can still be worn. I set up a stall all day and haven't gone anywhere. I don't need to buy new clothes." The middle-aged stall owner shook his head and replied with a smile.

"...Then I won't buy it either." The wife just said a few words and continued to work.

"...then buy it... just buy me anything."

"to make."

"Boss, give me another five skewers of grilled ribs..."

"okay……"

……

"Sister, can't you walk slower?"

"Who told you not to exercise every day, you still think I'm walking fast now, don't you?"

"We're not in a hurry, are we?"

"I'm not in a hurry, let's see what time it is..."

"Anyway, I won't be able to get there, sister, you can figure it out."

"Why do you still want me to carry you? I can't carry you now... Hurry up and go, or I will kick someone."

"...Sister, dear sister, you really kick."

Two teenage siblings chased and ran past Lian Ge, their figures and voices quickly disappeared into the distance.

……

"Crack...crack."

A young woman, with a mobile phone in her hand, a pair of slippers on the soles of her feet, with her head down, silent,

While walking forward, he kicked a stone on the ground forward, passed by the side, and went away.

"...Come back soon, come back soon, I'm already downstairs, Dad, tell grandma to wait, wait a little longer, I'll be back..."

A young man ran past Lian Ge in a hurry while holding a mobile phone and shouting.

"... Hey, we are all one family, we don't talk about the two families, we keep the money, and treat the younger siblings well. If there is not enough, I will ask my brother to get it. I will talk to your sister-in-law."

"Brother, thank you..."

"Here it goes again. Why do you become more hypocritical when you get older? When you were young and grabbed the meat on the plate from me, you were never polite."

"Brother, do you still remember..."

Two men in their thirties stood shoulder to shoulder, talking, and walked past Lian Ge.

……

Lian Ge moved his feet and walked along the street,

Didn't stop, didn't quicken the pace,

There are people coming and going by my side, and the noise and hustle and bustle are also coming and going in my ears,

The criss-crossing streets either go around or pass through the city, and one person and one mouse gradually move forward along the street, or pass through or go around the city,

Looking at this bustling and lively city, I also looked at the people who made this city bustling and lively.

……

As the night deepens, the hustle and bustle gradually subsides,

From the traffic and people passing by from time to time, to the sparse figures on the street,

Throughout the night, Lian Ge did not stop, looking at the unextinguished lights in the city, listening to the mixed voices, feeling a faint feeling.

……

The sky turned white again, and the street that had been quiet for a while became noisy again.

A small alley, after one night, Lian Ge stopped in his tracks again,

The rising sun just jumped out of the horizon, and the sunlight that swayed was facing the streets and alleys, reflecting on Lian Ge,

Slightly raising his head, Lian Ge looked at the rising sun, and the little white mouse on his shoulder also stood up in the direction of the rising sun, raised his head,

Looking at the rising sun that replaced the lights of thousands of families at night and illuminated the city, Lian Ge paused, followed closely, and smiled slightly,

In one night, he had seen the prosperity of the city.

……

"...Young man, do you want to eat hot dry noodles?"

Beside the alley, there was an old shop, and the owner was picking up noodles from the pot, and shouted at Lian Ge.

"Squeak... squeak."

The little white mouse turned its head and barked twice.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge smiled again, turned around,

After looking at the standing little white mouse, Lian Ge moved away and walked into the shop.

"Have two bowls."

Chapter 278 Grandpa

"Squeak... squeak."

The little white mouse squatted on Lian Ge's shoulders, with its forelimbs upright, turned its head, and looked around,

Lian Ge moved his feet, walked along the road, looked at the houses and shops along the way, and walked forward.

Beside the road, the houses and storefronts look old, and the exterior wall ash has been eroded by the years, and some of them are mottled and peeled off.

In some shops that are still open, the decoration seems to be old, and the signboards have been washed by the rain again and again, leaving some black marks.

This is a relatively remote town. The road that Lian Ge is stepping on at this moment is the streets that intersect in this town.

There are some potholes in the street, and cracks can be seen on the concrete floor from time to time.

Perhaps it is because it is noon at this moment, there are few people on the street, and when you look around, you can only see old buildings in the distance.

The whole town looked a little depressed.

……

Facing the noon sun, looking at this quiet town, Lian Ge moved along the street.

A few days ago, after seeing the prosperity of Jiangcheng again and eating that bowl of hot dry noodles, Lian Ge chose a random direction and left Jiangcheng.

All the way, I either slept in the open, or stayed overnight, or stayed in a hotel, stepping on streets, arterial roads, mountain roads, and dirt roads, and it took a few days to walk here.

"Squeak."

The little white mouse looked around and called twice.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the little white mouse, then at the quiet street, and stopped in his tracks.

Looking forward along the street, most of the shops are closed, and only a few shops are open.

After a pause, Lian Ge moved his steps again and walked towards an open convenience store not far away.

……

By the door of the convenience store, there was a pile of garbage such as packaging bags, which was stopped by a broom leaning on it.

Step up the steps and walk into the convenience store,

The inside is a little narrow, with only a few rows of shelves on display, on which are some food and daily necessities, a counter is placed across the door, and a freezer is placed beside the counter, and the owner sits behind the counter.

At this moment, the shopkeeper is blowing a fan, while holding his mobile phone horizontally, watching TV,

When Lian Ge walked up to the counter, he seemed to have noticed it and reacted,
