The summer in S city is so unreasonable and makes people feel uneasy, the scorching sun makes the air distort, and cicadas scream non-stop.

Yuning coldly and ruthlessly turned up the air conditioner in the store that had been used for more than ten years to [-] degrees, barely making the room temperature reach a tolerable range.A truck was parked outside, it was here to deliver the goods, Yuning ran out to help the other party move the new lemon tea into the house, and after a while, he was sweating profusely again.

Yuning runs a small shop in a township in City S. From tobacco, alcohol and beverages to candles and paper money, if you can name the shortcomings of the family, most of them can be exchanged for you.

"Xiao Yu——" Just as Yuning sent half a box of the new drink into the refrigerator, wiped off his sweat and took out his beloved mobile phone to play with it, an aunt came in outside the door, holding a A glass bottle was placed on the counter, and he said indifferently, "Do you still have the soy sauce in your house a while ago? Get me half a bottle!"

"That soy sauce? You're late, it's sold out." Yu Ning pointed to the bottled soy sauce beside him: "That one is also good, you can buy that one, next time when the bulk soy sauce is in stock, I'll save some for you."

"Success." The aunt nodded, walked over to get a bottle of soy sauce on the shelf to pay the bill, and chatted with Yuning: "Xiao Yu, you are young, do you really plan to leave? Well then, what are you going to do in the country?"

Yuning thought for a while, and replied: "Let's take a break for a year or two, it's not good, too much pressure will hurt your body."

A few months ago, after experiencing unemployment and a car accident, Yu Ning received an inheritance from an elder in his hometown who had never been in touch with him. That elder had no descendants. The only junior.Yuning took the inheritance, finished the funeral for someone, and issued an obituary. Somehow, seeing the countryside with beautiful scenery and even a little bit better air, she decided to move here to rest for a while.

This shop is also the inheritance of the old man. The shop has two floors. The first floor is a grocery store, and the second floor is a place to live. There is a small yard behind the shop. He tidied up a little and lived comfortably.Although the monthly income of the grocery store on the first floor cannot be compared with 996 in the first-tier cities, it is still more than enough to make ends meet.

The neighbors around are all the old friends of Yu Ning's elder for decades. Seeing someone come forward to hold a funeral for the elder, they have a good impression of Yuning. Knowing that Yu Ning plans to live for a long time, they are quite uncomfortable with Yuning. take care of.

"My daughter keeps calling me and telling me that I have to work overtime... What do you want me to say to work overtime? If you make money, no one wants to work at our age and no one wants to work..." The aunt mumbled, and Yu Ning interrupted with a smile Said: "Ten yuan and fifty cents."

The aunt took out a ten-dollar bill from her pocket, found five dime coins from another coin purse, and handed it to Yuning after counting it: "It's just right."

"Go slowly." Yu Ning threw the money into the change box aside, sent the aunt away, and went to tidy up the shelves, and wrote down the things to be replenished in the phone one by one, and when the work was over, it was almost noon Yep, Yuning yawned, hung up the sign of 'Closed for Lunch Break' on the store, hung the lock from the inside, took a bottle of iced lemon tea from the refrigerator, and turned to the back of the store small yard.

The small yard is said to be small, but it’s really not that small. It’s about [-] meters square. A shed was built in one corner, and a grapevine was planted. It’s not yet the time to bear fruit, but the luxuriant leaves shade the sun. It is tight, and the temperature seems to be isolated by them. It is a good place to cool off.

There is a vine under the vines, and there is a tea table carved from old tree roots next to it. The north-south breeze is blowing, which makes people feel comfortable looking at it.A well was dug in the south of the yard, and Yuning reckoned that the cool water vapor came from there.

There are still some fruits and vegetables planted in the yard, but it is summer, and Yuning doesn't bother to take care of them. Only after the sun goes down at night, he occasionally thinks of going to the yard to fetch two buckets of water to water them.But it's strange to say that these fruits and vegetables are not taken care of, and they don't seem to wilt after being exposed to the sun every day. A crop grows, and there is no day when the vegetables are cut off.

Yuning thought for a while, went to pull out a radish and a cabbage, and planned to stew a radish and ham soup for dinner. After throwing everything into the pot, he happily thought about the fairy days when he finished eating and slept. There was a knock on the door of the shop.

"Is anyone there? Is Boss Yu there?" It sounded like a young man who came, and there was some urgency in his voice.

Listening to this, Yuning wondered if something happened, and shouted while walking forward: "What's the matter? Wait, come right away!"

"Boss Yu!" As soon as the door opened, a young man stood outside and looked at him. He looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was very well dressed. When he saw him coming out, he was taken aback: "Boss Yu? Are you Boss Yu?"

"...I am, what's the matter?" Yu Ning was full of doubts.

The young man glanced at the signboard and asked again: "Is it Boss Yu from 'Yu's' grocery store?"

"That's right, I am."

"Then are you free? Can you come with me? My old lady is not well, and I'm just waiting to see you for the last time!"

"What's the last side?! I don't know your parents, right?" Yu Ning was a little confused.

"My old lady asked to see you by name... We don't know why, but the old man is just looking forward to it, please take it as a little face for the old man, and we will definitely reward you with a lot of money afterwards!" He took out his wallet, took out a thick wad of money and put it on the table, it looked like it would cost at least four or five thousand. "It's a little meaning, you accept it first."

Yu Ning is still a little dazed, but probably knows that he might be confused with his elder, the other party should be looking for his elder, but he has passed away, so he seems to have to go. "Okay, let's go."

"The car is just outside, I'll wait for you." The other party nodded, and turned his head to go out first. Yu Ning took a bottle of lemon tea and a piece of chocolate from the side and treated it as his poor lunch. He locked the shop and went with someone car.

He was also relieved when he saw the other party's car. It was a sports car with a horse logo on it. It looked like a beautiful streamlined body, so he knew that ordinary people couldn't afford it.He was still thinking about whether he was being watched by someone and planned to break into the empty door. Looking at the car, he thought that if the car was rented, the cost would be a bit high.

As soon as Yu Ning got into the car, as soon as the door was closed, the other party couldn't wait to start it, the engine made a low roar, and the moment Yuning buckled the seat belt, the car jumped into the traffic like a beast.

Although Yu Ning lives in a township, it is not so remote that there are only mountain roads. Not far from his residential area is the entrance to the elevated road. The man stepped on the gas pedal and ignored the speeding ticket, and got on the elevated road within a few minutes .

"My surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Zhiyuan." The young man held the steering wheel with both hands, looked straight at the traffic, and kept moving in the traffic. , and is still accelerating. "Although I don't know what relationship my old lady has with you, but when you talk to her later, pay attention and don't disturb her."

Yu Ning was very honest and leaned firmly on the seat, lest she would fly out of the window if she slammed on the brakes.He thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "Hello, Mr. Bai. It's probably not me that Lingzu is looking for, maybe my uncle."

The other party suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the speed of the car dropped rapidly. It seemed that the other party was ready to turn around to pick up someone at any time: "Where's your uncle?"

"Passed away a few months ago."

The speed of the car picked up again, and Bai Zhiyuan said, "Sorry."

"It's okay, I'm a distant relative of my uncle... I've seen him once in my life." The implication is that he really doesn't know about his uncle.

"once?"

"At the time of the funeral."

"..." The other party was silent for a while, nodded and said, "I understand, just follow the old lady's instructions for a while... Try not to say that your uncle has passed away, just say that he is ill and it is not good to meet him .”

"Okay." Yu Ning nodded, and couldn't help but wonder if it might be some kind of role like an old lover. As the man's junior, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.As the other party pressed the line and passed a red light quickly, Yu Ning couldn't help saying: "It's better to drive slowly...safety first."

"Time is too tight to take care of it."

"...No." Yu Ning pointed to the bright yellow motorcycle whizzing by in the rearview mirror, and said expressionlessly, "I mean the police are chasing you."

"..."

"If you don't stop, you will have to go to the police station if you are caught. At that time, you may have to find someone to bail you out."

"..."
