Dependent Origination and Destiny - The History of the Present

For the next half month, Shi Jin stayed at the foot of Hutou Mountain. During the day, he supervised the renovation project in the store, and at night he returned to his home, had dinner, read a book and then went to sleep. This life was repeated every day.

Nearly two weeks have passed, and Shi Jin is standing in the basically completed store. The style and decoration of this store are consistent with the origin and disappearance of the city, if it is not for the empty lobby and the stacked He would think that he was standing in that store in the city.

This is where Gao Miaomiao wants to work.She said that she likes it here, and she wants to fetch water to make tea here, and watch the clouds and clouds in the sky.

Shi Jin spent an hour cleaning up the paint cans, leftovers and other sundries in the opponent's lobby, and then began to clean and mop the floor.He mopped the floor very meticulously, cleaning the floor almost inch by inch. The dust and stains that were originally attached to the floor disappeared after his mopping, and the cement floor of the entire lobby was almost wiped by him. I can see the figure.

"Today, your store seems to be closed, so you should go back, right?" Shi Gui asked casually during lunch.

Shi Jin said, "Yes, Dad. I'll clean up the shop again this afternoon, and I'll be back tomorrow."

Shi Gui nodded, and said: "That's right, it will take some time before the decoration of this house is completed." He thought for a while, and then asked: "Isn't Gao girl back yet?"

Shi Jin was slightly taken aback, when Gao Miaomiao left, he said that he would be back in half a month at most, now half a month has passed, but he has not received any news from Gao Miaomiao.He paused, then said uncertainly, "She... probably came back."

"Oh." Shi Gui responded, noncommittal, and then he said, "Today, do your best."

Shi Jin nodded solemnly and vigorously, and said, "Dad, I will!" This is what his father expects from him, and it is also what he asks of himself.

Shi Jin returned to the city early the next morning.

After leaving for half a month, Shi Jin suddenly had the feeling of coming back when he came to the gate of Yuanqiyuanmie again—this kind of feeling he had only had in Gang Qilian except his own home, and now Yuanqiyuanmie also had a feeling of coming back. Let him have such a sense of belonging.He smiled unconsciously, then stepped into the teahouse.

Passing through the lobby, Shi Jin walked towards Gao Jing's office. The decoration of the Hutou Mountain store was completed, and he wanted to report to the boss on the completion of the work.When he passed the tea room, he subconsciously glanced inside, and then saw the familiar figure who was arranging the tea leaves.

"Are you back?" Hearing footsteps coming to the door, Gao Miaomiao turned to look at him, then said with a smile.

"Yeah." Shi Jin's mouth curved into a smile naturally, and he said, "You're back too."

Gao Miaomiao said: "I came back yesterday." She arranged the teacups at hand, then walked to Shi Jin's side, she said: "Let's go, I also want to hear your opinion on the decoration and the aftermath. "

The two walked side by side to the door of Gao Jing's office, knocked on the door and entered.

For the decoration of the new store, Shi Jin has basically no objection. He only made a few minor changes in the last part of the decoration, making the overall structure of the house more reasonable.

After reading the structure diagram of the new store in his hand, Gao Jing turned to his daughter and said, "Miao Miao, what's your plan next?"

Gao Miaomiao said: "The decoration is completed. Next, I want to send things over and decorate the inside of the store first. It's already November, and winter is coming soon. It's unlikely that anyone will go there for fun. We can use this time to improve the new store. And Xiaoxiao, I also told her to promote it on the Internet, and I went to Hutou Mountain twice, and she has a lot of photos in her hand."

Gao Jing asked: "Then when are you planning to go there?"

Gao Miaomiao said: "I want to finish the matter at hand in these two days, and then go there."

Shi Jin said: "I'll go there with you, and I can help you when you need to move things."

Gao Miaomiao glanced at him, then nodded slightly: "Yes, good."

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Then it's decided. Miao Miao bought a lot of things this time, so you are responsible for contacting a moving company to transport the things there."

Coming out of Gao Jing's office, Gao Miaomiao walked towards the tea room.When she walked to the door, she turned her head and smiled at Shi Jin and said, "Shi Jin, thank you for your hard work."

Shi Jin said: "It's not hard work, it's my job, isn't it." He pursed his lips, his smile was a little dark.Gao Miaomiao's kindness made him feel a little distant.

Gao Miaomiao smiled, then turned and went into the tea room.

Looking away, Shi Jin walked towards the staff locker room.After changing into his overalls, he went about his day's work.

Three days later, the two took their things to the new store at the foot of Hutou Mountain.

After unloading all the things and moving them into the store, the people from the moving company settled the cost with Gao Miaomiao and left.

Only Gao Miaomiao and Shi Jin were left in the store.Gao Miaomiao glanced around the hall, then walked to a table and stretched her hand to the edge, she nodded to Shi Jin, and Shi Jin moved the other side of the table knowingly.

The two moved the tables one by one, and then put the chairs back on the edge of the table one by one.After finishing all this, Gao Miaomiao picked up a paint bucket placed in the corner of the lobby to fetch a bucket of water, then found a rag, put it in the water to clean it, wrung it dry and wiped the table.

Seeing this, Shi Jin also took a rag and started working with her.

The efficiency of two people working together is much higher than that of one person. In a short time, all the tables and chairs in the lobby were wiped clean.

"Miaomiao," Shi Jin asked Gao Miaomiao who was cleaning the rag after wiping the last table, "How have you been in Hangzhou for the past half month?"

"It's pretty good." Gao Miaomiao said with a smile, "There are a lot of good things in the porcelain market in Hangzhou. If Xiaoyi didn't follow me, I might have spent the travel expenses on the way back. Oh, by the way, I even found a few It's a very interesting cup, just wait, I'll get it for you to see."

She put down the rag and turned into the back room.A moment later she emerged with a mug in hand. "Look, this is it." She said, handing the cup to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin took the cup and looked at it. No matter how you look at it, the cup is just an ordinary mug. On the outer wall of the cup, there is an iceberg standing on the sea level. Except for the snow-capped iceberg, the main color of the cup is dark. The shades of blue are refreshing to look at.He looked at Gao Miaomiao with some doubts: "This cup?"

Gao Miaomiao said: "I can't see what's interesting, right? You'll find out in the near future." She smiled mysteriously, and then continued to wipe the table with a rag, but did not reveal the mystery about the cup.

Shi Jin had no choice but to put down the cup and continue working.

Gao Miaomiao looked up at him, he was cleaning the table seriously, with that meticulous expression as if he was cleaning the chariot he once loved so much.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and Shi Gui sent his little grandson over to ask the two of them to have lunch.

Shi Jin rinsed and hung up the rag in his hand, and said, "Miao Miao, let's go eat."

Gao Miaomiao nodded, and went to the tap to wash her hands.When I came back, I saw Shi Jin’s little nephew curiously looking at the cup on the table, so he took the cup in his hand, then knelt down and asked the child, “Do you like this cup?”

The little guy nodded, looking straight at the cup in her hand with both eyes.

"Well, Auntie can give it to you," Gao Miaomiao said with a smile. Shi Jin looked at her disapprovingly, and said, "Miaomiao, how can this be done? You can't just give things to children. Don't get spoiled."

"Comrade Shi Jin, I don't want to give it to you, let's go!" Gao Miaomiao gave him a blank look, then turned to the little guy and said, "Auntie can give this mug to you, but Auntie can't just give it to you." It was given to you for no reason. So you must have a reason worthy of Auntie awarding it to you as a prize."

Hearing what Gao Miaomiao said, the little guy hurriedly said: "I got [-] points in the math test this time! My roll paper is still at home, auntie, go and see it." He was afraid that Gao Miaomiao would not believe it, so he quickly moved out a powerful evidence.

Gao Miaomiao put the mug into the little guy's hand with a smile, and she said: "Okay, since you are so good, then Auntie will reward you with it, you have to make persistent efforts, don't be complacent!"

"Hmm!" The little guy hugged the cup tightly, as if he was afraid of being snatched away.Then he remembered his mission here and said, "Auntie, Uncle, let's go home and have dinner, I'm hungry."

Gao Miaomiao stood up, patted his head, and said, "Okay, let's go eat." She looked back at Shi Jin, then followed the little guy out the door.

At the dinner table, Shi Gui kept persuading Gao Miaomiao to eat. He said, "Gao girl, come on, eat more vegetables. Hey, why did you lose weight after going to Hangzhou? Miss, don't be too thin. It's not good to be too thin."

Gao Miaomiao nodded, and she said, "Yes, I remember, thank you Uncle."

"Hey, don't thank you, why do you think you are so polite to your uncle!" Shi Gui smiled, and he said, "Gao girl, you come to clean up that shop this time, so don't worry about any heavy work." You're welcome, let's do it today," he said, pointing to Shi Jin, "he has plenty of strength anyway. He won't feel comfortable if you don't ask him to do it."

Gao Miaomiao said, "Uncle, it's not really heavy work. This time we just sent over the utensils we need to open the shop, at most it's just cleaning, nothing else."

"Oh, cleaning," Shi Gui said, "then you can let him clean, he is good at that. When he was a soldier in the army, he often led his group of soldiers to clean a dormitory or something. So girl, don't save your energy for him, this energy is not just for use!"

Gao Miaomiao glanced at Shi Jin quickly, then smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle. I see."

Shi Gui nodded in satisfaction, he said: "Gao girl, are you not leaving today?"

Gao Miaomiao refused to leave.

Shi Gui said: "When it's time for dinner, you can come over to eat by yourself, I won't call you. Girl Gao, just treat this as your home, don't be polite."

Shi Jin looked at Gao Miaomiao, he said, "Dad, we will come here by ourselves, no need to shout."

"Uncle, Grandpa, look, look!" Shi Jin's little nephew suddenly ran over happily, and then raised the cup that Gao Miaomiao gave him to the elders as if offering a treasure.The pattern on the outer wall of the mug has changed, and the sea level has risen somehow. The originally towering icebergs have been submerged below the sea level at this moment, and only a little bit of the highest peak is exposed.

Shi Jin took the cup in surprise, and found that the cup was filled with hot water.Gao Miaomiao said: "The outside of the cup is coated with a layer of heat-sensitive paint, and the pattern will appear as the temperature rises. This is an environmental theme, which tells everyone that if you don't pay attention to the fact of global warming, the earth is likely to die In the future, it will be flooded with water from melting icebergs."

Shi Jin smiled and said, "Oh, now even a cup has such a deep meaning." He handed the cup back to his nephew, then stood up, and said, "Dad, it's time for us to go back to the store."

The two bid farewell to the elders of the historian and others, and then went out to leave.
