Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

Chen Rufeng had no intention of expressing his absurd feelings, as he felt that such emotions were difficult to explain and had no practical significance. However, facing Jia Dongxu's concerned eyes, he decided to speak up, "Brother Dongxu, do you think that life is sometimes very confusing?" Then he smiled, "Rufeng, why are you talking so irrelevant today?"

"I don't know, but sometimes I suddenly feel that nothing seems to have any special meaning." Chen Rufeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know this sounds ridiculous, but sometimes I have this inexplicable feeling. Nodding, "Brother, what you said is not unreasonable. In fact, life is often so nonsensical. I also had this feeling when I was young, thinking that everything was meaningless and everything I did seemed to be repetitive."

"What happened next?" Chen Rufeng asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping to get some inspiration from Jia Dongxu.

"Later, I learned not to think too much." Jia Dongxu smiled, "You think, life is like this sometimes, there is no special meaning, but it can't be said to be meaningless. The key is to see how you live. Some people live a busy life and feel fulfilled; some people have nothing to do and feel bored. It's all a matter of mentality. He calmed down a little, but the sense of nonsense still didn't completely disappear. He knew that many times, these meaningless feelings in life were just a temporary emotion, but it was not easy to get rid of them completely.

"Sometimes I think that maybe I need some new goals or challenges to give myself some hope," Chen Rufeng said thoughtfully.

"Goals and challenges are good things, but they can't be forced." Jia Dongxu waved his hand. "Look, your store is doing well now. Neighbors like to come to you to buy things. You actually have a certain position in this alley. There is no need to pursue something new. It's good to live a stable life. But he was still a little confused. He knew it, but the sense of nonsense in his heart still lingered. Perhaps it was not just because of the business of the store, nor was it just the monotony of life, but a deeper desire - a desire for meaning and goals.

The two were silent for a while, and Jia Dongxu suddenly laughed and said: "Let's go out for a walk someday to change our mood. There is a big world outside the alley. Don't stay here all the time. Maybe if you change places, you can figure things out."

Chen Rufeng looked up at Jia Dongxu and suddenly thought that this suggestion was a good one. Perhaps, walking out of this familiar alley and seeing the outside world would help him find some new directions. After all, if he stayed in the same place for a long time, his thinking would inevitably be limited, and the outside world might bring him new inspiration.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk someday." Chen Rufeng finally revealed a relaxed smile and nodded, "Maybe a change of environment will help me feel more open-minded."

Jia Dongxu laughed and raised his glass, "That's settled, brother, let's have a drink for the future, and for you to get rid of these crazy thoughts as soon as possible!"

Chen Rufeng also raised his glass and clinked it with Jia Dongxu, and they both drank it all in one gulp. The wine slid into his throat, bringing a warm and stimulating feeling, which seemed to dilute the nonsensical emotions and gave him some strength in his heart.

As the night deepened and the wine got stronger, Chen Rufeng and Jia Dongxu talked a lot, from the past life in the hutong to the current business management, the two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Jia Dongxu's hearty laughter echoed in the yard, which seemed to dispel the haze in Chen Rufeng's heart.

Before leaving, Jia Dongxu patted Chen Rufeng on the shoulder and said, "Rufeng, in life, there are always some things that you can't figure out, but as long as you keep moving forward, these problems will be solved sooner or later. Don't think too much, just live a good life, this is the most important thing. Watching Jia Dongxu leave, he understood that Jia Dongxu's advice was right. Although life is nonsensical, as long as he keeps moving forward, he will always find the answer.

He closed the courtyard door, returned to his room, and lay on the bed, with Jia Dongxu's words "Don't think too much, live a good life" still echoing in his mind. He silently told himself that there might be more nonsense in the future, but this would not prevent him from continuing to pursue the life he wanted.

After a few days of thinking and adjustment, Chen Rufeng decided to inject some freshness into the store again. This time, he set his sights on toys. There are many young parents with children in the alley, and these children are regular customers of the store. Chen Rufeng knows clearly that children's interests change quickly, and snacks and stationery alone are not enough to maintain their enthusiasm. He needs some new toys to attract their attention.

Chen Rufeng got up early in the morning. His plan for the day was clear: go to the wholesale market to buy a batch of new toys. He walked into the yard and looked up at the sky. The morning sun shone through the leaves and the air was filled with a fresh smell. Chen Rufeng took a deep breath and felt refreshed. He felt that this would be a fulfilling and meaningful day. Chen Rufeng was attracted by the dazzling array of toys. These colorful and variously shaped toys were dazzling. While observing carefully, he was thinking in his mind which toys would be most suitable for his store. After some screening, he finally decided to buy several new models of building blocks, remote control cars, and some cartoon character dolls that were popular with children.

However, Chen Rufeng had some doubts when selecting these toys. Although these toys looked attractive, they were not cheap. If the children didn't like them or they couldn't be sold, then this batch of goods would become a burden on his mind. Chen Rufeng stood in front of the stall, holding a box of exquisite building blocks in his hand, hesitating whether to buy a few more boxes. "You can't always look back and forth." He said to himself in his heart, "If you want to do good business, sometimes you have to take risks." He remembered Jia Dongxu's advice that day, and gradually made up his mind.

Finally, Chen Rufeng gritted his teeth and decided to be bold. He ordered a batch of toys. Although he was still a little uneasy, he was more looking forward to it. He believed that these toys would definitely bring new vitality to the store.

On the day the toys arrived, Chen Rufeng started to get busy. He reorganized the shelves, placed the new toys in the most conspicuous position, and specially designed a small exhibition stand to make the toys more eye-catching. In order to let customers understand the charm of these new toys, he also hung a small blackboard at the door of the store, wrote a few big words "New toys, welcome to buy!" in colored chalk, and drew a few cartoon pictures next to it.
