dance like a butterfly

Audi is like a black beetle, driving on the winding road.

"Xiaohui, after going back this time, brother will definitely be very busy!"

Old Han said slowly.

"Well. I understand, isn't it just to run for the election?"

"This election campaign may be different from the past and more complicated than before."

Lao Han didn't smile this time, and looked solemn.

I have never experienced the election scene of Lao Han. Lao Han said that it is more complicated, and it will definitely be difficult.

"Brother, I think, you are a person who has seen the storm, you must have thought more than me, and you decided to run for the election, you must have weighed many favorable factors for yourself, there is no more than [-]% certainty, you Maybe you gave up a long time ago, right? Since you have already made up your mind to run for the election, and you have a certain foundation in all aspects, no matter how complicated things are, as long as you do your best, it should not be a big problem."

Even though it is only on paper, I hope that my words can even have the slightest soothing effect on Lao Han.

From now on in this world, there is nothing more worth worrying about than what happened to Lao Han.

Old Han smiled, "Xiaohui, you have traveled so many places before, do you prefer the north or the south?"

"north!"

I said without thinking.Lao Han must have found a casual topic for chatting.

"Why?" Lao Han didn't seem to want to give up and wanted to continue the chat.

"Do you need to ask? First of all, there are four distinct seasons in the north. There are green willows and red flowers in spring, shady trees in summer, fragrant fruits in autumn, and white snow in winter. Moreover, I have long been used to the dry climate in the north. The south is often rainy all year round, and the humidity is too heavy. I don’t know how other people are. Anyway, I’m not used to it. The biggest point is that you are from the north. Brother, look, there are so many people in such a big world. But you, Han Jun, are the only one in this world!"

I have a hippie smile.

"Hehe, that's good, I have something to tell you." Old Han smiled again with narrowed eyes. "Since you also like the north, let's go out this time and buy a house in which city?"

"Why? Why buy a house?"

I was taken aback. Buying a house is not a trivial matter. I casually said that I like the North, and I actually provoked Lao Han to buy another house, and without any warning, I bought it in a city outside Xi'an!

"In recent years, house prices have been soaring, and the price is almost a day. Buying a house is the same as doing business. You see, since the discovery of coal, oil and natural gas in northern Shaanxi, people in northern Shaanxi have bought houses in Xi'an through group purchases. Buying the whole building and selling it after a certain period of time really makes a lot of money.”

Lao Han has his own business experience, but it is a fact.

"However, even if you want to buy a house, you have to look for a city with great appreciation potential. Xi'an is a leading city in the west. If you have spare money, how good is it to buy in Xi'an? Why do you want to buy in other cities?" I retorted.

"That's not necessarily the case. Now many real estate developers are developing second-tier cities one after another. The better sites also have considerable room for appreciation. Also, if we buy a house in another city, if we don't want to live in it, the price will be better in three to five years. If you like it, you can stay. When my brother gets old and can't do anything, I will live with you. We go fishing, boxing, and walking birds when we are free. I have a nest that really belongs to me, and I won’t be disturbed by others. Xiaohui, do you think it’s okay?"

Old Han smiled.

My heart was hot, and I didn't know what to say.What Lao Han said is right, one day, when Haohao grows up, he will fall in love, get married and have children, and Meimei will also have her own private space.At that time, Lao Han and I were really no longer fit to stay by their side.But in a certain city, the dawn is just dawning, in a quiet park, the dew in the fresh air is still waking up between the grass leaves, the begonias and gardenias are fragrant, the thrushes are jumping and singing in the cage, the old Wearing a snow-white satin dress, Han kicked his legs steadily and slowly performed Tai Chi. The slowly rising sun illuminated his healthy face and smooth white hair...

For a long time, I have been longing to be like two little mice with Lao Han, cuddling tightly in the burrow under the snow in winter all day long.

It turned out that in Lao Han's mind, he had always had such a dream.

Now he wants to interpret this dream in the most realistic and feasible way!

"Brother, if you say it like this, I think you are not here for tourism, but to trick me into buying a house!"

I was happy in my heart, but pretended to be angry.

"Haha, the two of us are buying a house and traveling together!" He stretched out his hand and gently pinched my face.

When I passed Baoji, I came down and picked up a small shop.

Egg fermented glutinous rice, authentic Qishan rolled noodles, authentic Qishan noodles, and Xifu noodles with ribs.

Lao Han said, "Xiaohui, try it, the taste is different. This vinegar, this spicy pepper, have a lot of flavor."

The diet of each place has distinct local imprints. The water and soil are different, and the things that grow are naturally different.The method is different, and the flavor is very unique.Baoji people stir-fry pork with a lot of vinegar in it, which is probably the only one in the country.

Will the city where I want to grow old with Lao Han have the same intimacy as Guanzhong?

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived at Tianshui City.

When I first arrived in the urban area, I saw pagoda trees as thick as bowls growing on both sides of the street. The lush greenery was quite different from the earthen walls along the way. The roses of various colors were luxuriant. Competing to bloom, people feel refreshed all of a sudden.

"Xiaohui, Tianshui has a unique geographical location and is the geometric center of China."

Seeing me keep flipping through the book, Lao Han said.

"How do you know?", I was surprised.

"I stayed in Gansu for a few years before. Do you think your brother is a fool? Tianshui is the second largest city in Gansu. The 24 solar terms in the ancient calendar also originated from here, because the four seasons here are the most distinct!" Lao Han laughed.

The book just turned to this paragraph.What Lao Han said is right, not only that, Tianshui also has a lot of historical sites, the hometown of Fuxi, the hometown of Xuanyuan, the transportation is even more convenient, and there is even an airport.

Lao Han looked at me and said with a smile, "Xiaohui, Tianshui is a good place, not too far from Xi'an, we might as well consider buying a house here."

"It's up to you, I have no opinion."

The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost.The so-called beautiful woman is on the water side.

The most popular sentence in "The Book of Songs" is about Tianshui!

Since then, the wind and dust have been far away, the mountains are high, the moon is cold, and the night is cold.The east spring is clear to the bottom, and the top of the west tower reaches to the sky.The lamp on the Buddha seat is always bright, and the incense in the meditation room is half burning.There are three or five old monks, and the ancient cypresses are thousands of years old.

Li Bai was talking about Tianshui!

The water is far away and the sky is clean, and the lonely city is hidden in deep fog.

If you go to Wuling at dusk, you want to ask Taoyuan for a place to stay.

Du Fu was talking about Tianshui!

The car stopped on Renmin Road in Qincheng District, picked up a clean small restaurant, tasted local snacks, and inquired about the house prices here.

The boss is a tall and thin man in his 50s, with fair skin and wearing white overalls.The purple-red croaking and steaming water surface were served, and before the bowl was taken off the plate, he took off the towel on his shoulder and quickly wiped the table again.Seeing that Lao Han and I were speaking in the Guanzhong dialect without changing our accent, he hurriedly asked in Guanzhong dialect, "Are you also from Xi'an?"

Old Han laughed and said, "I heard that there are many Shaanxi township parties in Tianshui. Take a look. If you enter this restaurant casually, you will meet fellow villagers."

When dialects meet dialects, they suddenly feel very friendly, and the distance between Tianshui and Xi'an is instantly shortened.

"You don't live in Tianshui, do you want to buy a house in Tianshui?" Seeing Lao Han asking him about the housing market, the fellow asked back.

"I'm also asking for a friend, and if the price is right, I'll buy it."

The boss raised his hand, "Go west and turn left at the intersection. There are several real estate agencies there. It's hard to say the price, some are cheap and some are expensive. But the house prices have really risen in recent years, be sure Now, you have to hurry up."

Old Han smiled and said nothing more.

He bowed his head and picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, his mind was not on eating, and his stomach was not very hungry, so he didn't taste any special taste.Within a few minutes, we arrived at an intermediary store called "Fuju".

The walls are covered with real estate information, some for rent and some for sale.The clerk was a young guy about my age. When he saw us coming in, he hurriedly greeted us in broken Mandarin, handing cigarettes and pouring water enthusiastically.

Where is this house, what is the geographical location, what kind of supporting facilities are there around, does the house have a property right certificate, how is the water vapor and heating, Lao Han is very smart, it is not my turn to intervene.

Sitting on the sofa, smoking the Ocean brand cigarettes handed over by the clerk, looking at the price written on the wall with a signature pen that was higher than the purchase price of Yaxinyuan at that time, listening to Lao Han's consultation, I suddenly felt very tired.

From an unplanned trip to buying a house in a different place suddenly, this strong change made me feel a clear sense of gap.

It would be unbelievable to put this matter on others, but Lao Han is now implementing it in front of me accurately.

The wind was blowing coolly from outside the door, and it was no longer an illusory dream that Lao Han would grow old hand in hand with me in Tianshui.

This dream made me happy, but also made me suddenly feel very strange.
