so affectionate

In the two or three days after Xiao Bin left, Jiang Nan had been wandering around the town. He had already made plans in his heart to settle down here, but now there was only one chance.

A few days before the start of the high school in the town, a bookstore near the school posted a transfer message. Jiang Nan saw it while walking, and immediately wrote down the owner's contact number. When he returned to the hotel, he asked the proprietress about the owner of the store in detail. Condition.

The proprietress knew that he was new here and didn't know the local interpersonal relationship, so it was normal to be cautious. After hearing his plan, she enthusiastically told him everything she knew.The owner of that bookstore is well-known in the local area. The reason is that his family has four children, three girls and one boy. He wanted to take his parents to live with him at home, but the owner of the store had stayed in the town for decades, and he was reluctant to part with the legacy left by his ancestors, and he didn't want to leave these neighbors, so he delayed and refused to agree.This summer, when the youngest son's wife gave birth to a grandson, the two old people couldn't help but set out to have a look, but they were detained by the children as soon as they didn't want to go, and the old people were not allowed to come back.The two had worked hard all their lives. At this time, seeing their children and grandchildren were full of filial piety, they also had the idea of ​​enjoying family happiness. Coupled with the repeated urging of several juniors, they finally agreed to transfer the bookstore.

After Jiang Nan listened to it, she called the shop owner that night and asked him about the situation. Seeing that it was the same as what the proprietress had said, she felt relieved and made an appointment with the shop owner.

When we met the next day, the proprietress went with him, saying that he was afraid that he would be cheated if he didn't know the local market. Jiang Nan was very moved after being amused.

The owner of the bookstore is also a very real businessman. After talking with Jiang Nan for a while, he asked him a few basic questions, and seeing that the proprietress was helping him, he took Jiang Nan to visit the store without talking nonsense.

The bookstore is a two-story private house. It was originally the owner's house. The first floor has been renovated and is very spacious and bright. The counter and bookshelves are all available, and it will be reopened immediately.The second floor is for living. The owner of the store has other houses in the town, so he doesn’t live here much. Although the house is old, it looks clean and tidy. The upper floor of the tables, chairs, bed cabinets is not stained. Jiang Nan is very satisfied with it. .

Both parties are interested, so when it comes time to negotiate the price, in addition to the rental money, there are still a lot of unsold books and stationery left in the store. After opening the store, it still needs to be repurchased, and the price may be more expensive. Without hesitation, Jiang Nan decided to keep all the original goods.

When the final price was set, because the proprietress helped to speak, and because the owner saw Jiang Nan as being honest, he didn't want to make more money from him, so he came up with a very reasonable price and signed a two-year rental contract and transfer agreement with Jiang Nan.

That night Jiang Nan moved out of the hotel and lived in the shop.After two days of intense preparation, the bookstore finally opened on the day the school started.

Jiang Nan was doing business for the first time, and everything was very novel.Get up at five or six o'clock in the morning, open the iron gate, clean up, organize the bookshelves, clear the inventory, greet the students, and forget to eat when I am so busy; in the afternoon, when the students are in class, I drive the three-wheeled battery car I bought temporarily to the county bookstore Buy goods, pick and choose, buy a few pieces of popular books, magazines, newspapers, study materials, card stationery, etc. from students, and try to sell them; Bookkeeping and reconciliation was busy until [-] or [-] o'clock. I was so tired that I didn't think about anything, so I fell asleep. The next day, I jumped out of bed full of energy and continued the busy work of the day.

Busy is busy, tired is really tired, but he is happy, so he likes to toss about like this.Sometimes when he washes up in the morning, he sees himself in the mirror. Compared with when he left Beijing, not to mention a circle of thinner, and several degrees darker, if his friends see it, they will definitely make fun of him. Where did he come from as a refugee? Dark and thin, like a monkey.

Hard work is for sure, I don’t have time to eat when I’m busy, and sometimes a pack of instant noodles is enough to get by. Thinking about the rich food and clothing in the past, it is really incomparable, but if Jiang Nan chooses, he will still choose the current life without hesitation.Speaking of which, it's not that he doesn't have money, and there's no need to work so hard, but he just likes this feeling, full and full, and no moment is wasted, which makes him feel that every day is a brand new beginning. Blame yourself for wasting time doing nothing.

It's not all the time to be too busy to take a break. On weekends, school is on holiday, which is also when he is on holiday.Because of the close distance, he got close to some security guards at the school. Whenever he had nothing to do, those people would invite him to play together, running back and forth on the court heartily, and eating in the school cafeteria After a meal, he was sweating profusely and wolfed it down. He had never been so careless before, but he was really happy.

Sometimes the proprietress of the hotel would also enthusiastically drop by to see him, telling him to pay attention to his health and eat three meals a day on time.

Jiang Nan was grateful for her help and wanted to repay her, but he didn't know what to do.I remember the last time he came to the door with a fruit gift box to thank him, but he didn't go in, so he was rejected and scolded. From then on, he knew that the proprietress's fiery temper would not allow such a set of false gifts. I had no choice but to hold back, thinking that if she needed help in the future, I would definitely do my best.

The proprietress's son is called Chen Peng. He is ten years old.But since Jiang Nan opened the store, Chen Peng has become a regular customer in his store. He has flipped through the "One Hundred Thousand Whys", "Journey to the West" with colorful paintings, "Aesop's Fables" and so on on the bookshelf. Every time, when encountering someone who doesn't understand, he pesters Jiang Nan to ask questions, and he is not afraid of life at all.Sometimes Jiang Nan needs to go out, so let him take care of it for a while, the child can sit still, the old god is sitting on the counter, scooping up a book and slowly flipping through it, just like an adult.At first he thought the kid was too naughty, but gradually he liked him more and more.

Jiang Nan never asked about Chen Peng's father. He lived in the hotel for more than ten days, never met the man at home, and never heard the proprietress talk about it, so he guessed that it was not something to mention.Who doesn't have some past, his past is more difficult to talk about than others, but isn't he doing well now?It will only get better and better in the future.

Xiao Bin hasn't heard from him since he returned to Beijing, and he doesn't know if his father forgives him.Although Jiang Nan was worried, he didn't dare to contact him rashly.

One evening, the proprietress of the inn suddenly came to his store with a nervous expression, saying that she had just received a call. The person on the other end claimed to be the young man who lived in her store with Jiang Nan before, and asked if Jiang Nan was still in town.The proprietress was afraid that she was a liar, so she said that Jiang Nan had already left, and the person on the other end said repeatedly: "It's good to go, it's good to go..." In a very thankful tone, she hung up the phone in a hurry before she finished speaking, and asked There was no chance for the person to change his mind, and if the lady boss called back, she couldn't get through.The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, and she was afraid that she would cause trouble for Jiang Nan, so she hurried over to tell him.

Jiang Nan's heart sank after hearing her finish.Afraid of what will come, he has been hiding for so long, and finally reached the time when he couldn't hide.When he sent Xiao Bin to the car that day, he was a little uneasy and secretly worried. Now it seems that things really cannot be hidden.

If it was earlier, he could continue to hide after getting the news, but now, he has rented a house and opened a shop, and he gets along well with the surrounding neighbors. It is nothing more than saying that he intends to take root here. Let him abandon all this and start over. How can he be reconciled to the days of running around?

He was angry and anxious all night, but he didn't sleep well. The next day he woke up in a daze, and when he splashed cold water on his head, he woke up with a jolt.He looked at the dripping face in the mirror, gritted his teeth and thought to himself: Soldiers come to cover up with water and earth, sooner or later they have to go through this, why bother about it, just remember that the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge.

Thinking about it this way, the mood that had been sluggish since last night gradually picked up. When the store opened, wave after wave of students poured in. He was so busy dealing with it that he had no time to think about other things.

In the afternoon, he closed the store as usual to stock up. Recently, he found a trick. Knowing which items are popular, he buys more at one time. Some items are unpopular, such as pens. If you buy one or two boxes, you have to sell them. Ten days and a half months, just a little less.In this way, in the past, it was necessary to go to the county every day, but now it is enough to run once every three or two days. The work has become easier, but the business is getting better and better. Although the payback is still far away, at least it is making progress bit by bit.

When he came back at four o'clock, Jiang Nan was busy moving stacks of books into the store, and when he was sweating profusely, he suddenly heard a voice: "Is this what you want?"

Jiang Nan was startled, turned around with the book in his arms, and saw a person standing on the side of the street with his back to the sun, his figure was tall and straight, his posture was casual, and his expression could not be seen clearly.Jiang Nan subconsciously lowered her head, and took a step back as helpless as before. She didn't react until she saw the thing in her arms. He didn't have to be afraid of him now.He glanced in Jiang Huajie's direction again, then ignored him and continued unloading.

Jiang Huajie had been standing on the side of the street for a long time. Before Jiang Nan came back, he was waiting on the opposite side of the street. Seeing Jiang Nan galloping from a distance in a semi-old tricycle, he panicked. Staring at the person closely, he walked over from the opposite street unhurriedly.I have to say that Jiang Nan's current situation surprised him, and made him angry and hated - he wanted to leave him, but he ran to this poor place to suffer!

Back then when he knew that the bodyguard had lost Jiang Nan and let people run away, he was furious and furious, threw a whole room of things, gave the people under him a hard scolding, ordered them to search all night, and almost turned over the places that could not be found. The bottom was upside down, and even the family members were alarmed, but nothing was found.After searching for several days in a row, he only got more and more angry and violent, and finally got some news—Jiang Nan's disappearance was related to that kid from the Xiao family.He contacted Xiao's second son, and learned that Xiao Bin also disappeared the day Jiang Nan ran away. He only sent a text message to his family, and there was no news after that.He asked Xiao Bin's driver for questioning, and learned how the two fled, and then learned from Aunt Xu that Jiang Nan had contacted Xiao Bin through her, and a bodyguard also provided information about the French restaurant Jiang Nan had been in. News of a meeting with a person.Since then, things have finally been fully presented to him.

Jiang Huajie gritted his teeth with hatred, he never imagined that Jiang Nan would have the guts to elope with someone behind his back and even escaped from the city.He just wanted to grab people back, crush them, squash them, and swallow them alive!

But now, this daring man finally stood in front of him again, and the anger that had been burning for more than two months seemed to be poured with cold water, and more than half of it was extinguished with a bang, leaving only billowing smoke It permeates everywhere, covering everything so that it becomes looming.

Jiang Nan's current situation, in his eyes, is really pitiful and hateful.You have the guts to elope with someone, but how did you make yourself look like this!When he saw it for the first time just now, he could hardly recognize it. If the image in front of him was not similar to a small black and thin boy in his memory, he almost suspected that he was old and dizzy.

Hmph, he already knew that the kid surnamed Xiao was not a good guy. He took another girl back after abducting him for less than two months.

Jiang Nan stood at the counter pressing the calculator, glanced at the people outside the shop from time to time, then lowered his head to stare at the ledger, his lips tightly pursed.

When the school was over, a few students came to the store to pick out stationery, and some hesitated in front of the bookshelf. Jiang Nan got busy, and looked up after a while, and Jiang Huajie in front of the door disappeared. When he entered the store, he was standing by the counter, scooping up a colored strip for folding stars in his hand, studying there.

He was born well, although he is not young anymore, standing there casually, he is more eye-catching than ordinary boys. Right now, there are a few little girls secretly looking at him on the pretext of shopping, and watching him for a while. Muttering, laughing softly, and looking up again after laughing.

The small shop was originally not spacious, and it was blocked by several people, so there was almost no need to do business. Jiang Nan endured it, but couldn't hold back, and said to the instigator: "If you don't buy anything, you go out, don't hinder my business .”

Jiang Huajie glanced at him sideways, then looked at the sparrow-like bookstore, and couldn't help but sneer: Is this also called business?But for the sake of Jiang Nan's swollen cheeks and serious expression, he finally held back, raised the ribbon in his hand, and asked, "Who says I won't buy it, how can I sell this?"

A few students around pricked up their ears to listen to the commotion here, Jiang Nan reluctantly swallowed back the sentence "I don't do your business", and said unwillingly: "Two bags, one yuan and five."

Jiang Huajie sneered again in his heart, and then became angry again. How much profit is one yuan and five dollars?Fifty cents?Even if I sell 50 copies a day, I only earn [-] yuan, not counting the rent, taxes, utilities, etc., and there will be very little left in the end. No wonder I starve myself like this!He clung to Jiang Nan's thin face and body viciously, almost staring at him.

Finally, Jiang Nan couldn't stand his disdainful and unclear gaze, and whispered, "Get out!"

Jiang Huajie was tickled by his reaction, stepped forward and leaned into his ear and said, "Look at your face, look at the dark circles under your eyes, why, I finally know the benefits of me, without me you can not fall asleep?"
