This is a European-style two-story building. The first floor has egg-yellow walls that look slightly rough. A brown wooden door is ajar. The floor outside the door was specially paved with cobblestones by the previous owner.
Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy walked forward slowly and gently opened the ajar door. People in some shops not far away couldn't help but show surprise when they saw Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy going upstairs.
The first floor was empty. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground. There were a few footprints on the dust, heading towards a wooden staircase on the north side of the house. It seemed that someone had been here not long ago.
Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy climbed up the stairs. The second floor was also a small attic. Outside the attic was an open-air balcony. The balcony was not big, but it was enough to hold two or three tables, allowing people to enjoy a lazy afternoon here.
Tea time.
"Tiezhu, I like this place!!" Lucy walked up to the balcony, looked at the few people who occasionally walked by below, and said happily to Zhao Tiezhu.
"Just like it." Zhao Tiezhu nodded and walked out of the balcony. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the orange sunlight slanted on the balcony. The figures of Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy were slowly lengthened. Originally, the figures of Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy were elongated.
The weather in October was already a bit cool in the evening, but with the warmth of the sun, the chill that originally surrounded me was dissipated in a few minutes.
"It's a beautiful place." Lucy sat on the wooden fence. The fence was made of ordinary wood and painted with a layer of slightly yellow paint.
Lucy ruffled the hair on her head and said to Zhao Tiezhu, "In winter, you can bask in the sun here, drink afternoon tea, read books, and play games. The time will pass quickly."
"Yes." Zhao Tiezhu nodded, "It would be nice to talk to you about life and ideals here under the moonlight."
"Oh? How can we talk about life and ideals?" Lucy looked at Zhao Tiezhu with a smile.
"Let's talk with practical actions." Zhao Tiezhu straightened up slightly, "This place is big enough."
"Then what?"
"Then...hehe, there's no more. Since I've taken a fancy to this place, I'll let Huang Tian buy it. Then when the time comes to open a flower shop, you'll have to support yourself!" Zhao Tiezhu said with a serious expression.
"Hmm, when I was in the United States, I sold newspapers." Lucy said very seriously.
"Are the two related?"
"have."
"what relationship?"
"It's all for sale..."
"All right."
Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy went downstairs, and went back immediately without thinking. The pedestrian street in this place did not have as many people as the commercial pedestrian street in the city center, so it would not appear noisy. The sun was about to go down, and the surrounding shops were also
The doors were closed one after another, and then a few friends made an appointment to go to the bar on the other side to have a drink, a meal and a chat. Zhao Tiezhu found that the life here seemed to be out of touch with the entire FJ City, and even the entire China.
Here, many people are smiling, and few people on the street are in a hurry. Everything is slow and leisurely. There are no successful people in suits and ties here, nor can you hear the roar of the engines of expensive luxury cars.
There are no small vendors on the road selling food.
"I found that this place is the most comfortable place in the whole FJ." Lucy unknowingly took Zhao Tiezhu's hand, "This reminds me of the ancient city of LJ, but this place is more beautiful than the ancient city of LJ.
Tranquility and peace.”
"Indeed." Zhao Tiezhu was also a little surprised, and then said to Lucy, "I'll treat you to dinner."
"Okay!" Lucy agreed with a smile.
Zhao Tiezhu then called Su Yanni and told her that he and Lucy had eaten out and would take them back to the concert later. Then he and Lucy walked into a quiet teahouse nearby.
The tea house is just a simple wooden house. There are a few simple tables in the hall inside. A slightly fat middle-aged man enthusiastically came forward to help Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy wipe the tables and chairs, and then asked if they wanted anything.
What, Zhao Tiezhu casually ordered a few dishes that sounded strange.
It didn't take long for the dishes to arrive. They were typical home-cooked side dishes, not as fancy as those in hotels, with simple green and red combinations. Zhao Tiezhu and Lucy ate them very well.
"Boss, this dish is really good." Zhao Tiezhu said to the fat boss.
"Haha, call me Lao Wang, that's what everyone here calls me. These dishes are all made by my wife. They are authentic home-cooked dishes, and these vegetables are all grown by us in the yard. Absolutely
No pollution, no pollution." The fat boss said proudly.
"Oh? You still grow your own vegetables?" Zhao Tiezhu asked in surprise, "Isn't this place cheap?"
"Haha, fortunately, this is the land left by our ancestors. It has always belonged to our family. In fact, it is not just my family. Many people around here own a large piece of land. If the land in my yard is sold, I will
He immediately became a multi-millionaire. It’s just that it’s difficult to find such a quiet place these days. Developments are happening everywhere. We used to live in a village. Later, everyone thought, we can’t just treat our ancestors like this.
The remaining land was sold, so the large area of land around us still belongs to our village." Boss Wang's face exuded a burst of pride. He couldn't help but feel proud. Not everyone has that.
He had the courage to use land worth tens of millions to grow vegetables.
"Isn't there anyone in your village who sells land?" Zhao Tiezhu asked. If a few households don't sell their land, then it's still possible. If not even a single village sells their land, it's a bit impossible.
"Haha, we haven't sold any of them." Boss Wang said proudly, "If anyone sells their land here, they are not counted as people in our village. So no matter how poor they are, they will not sell their land."
"Then how to eat? How to live?" Lucy asked.
"If you really can't open the pot, just go to someone else's house to eat. Most of the people in our village are related, so it doesn't matter. And, I'm not boasting, the people in our village are generally quite good.
Money." Boss Wang said with a smile, "Some people, even though their store is small and they don't sell many things, they still make millions of dollars a year, and they are all skilled people.
.”
"That's right!!" Zhao Tiezhu suddenly thought of the two-story building he wanted to buy before, and hurriedly asked: "Isn't the small building next to yours about to be sold?"
"Hey, you mean that house? The land of that house was actually a mass grave in our village. Later, the village spent money to build a temple. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was demolished by the Japanese, and then it was still there
Many people were buried there, and then gradually some people said that there was something unclean there. When the land reform came, no one wanted that land. My uncle, who did not believe in evil, wanted that land, and then it continued intermittently.
After so many years, that piece of land was always evil, and every business was in vain. Later, the latest owner simply couldn't get a wife. He couldn't stand it anymore. The village chief saw that this was also evil, so he let him
He sold that piece of land, saying that he relied on the yang energy of outsiders to suppress the evil spirits underground. Anyway, I don’t understand.” Boss Wang shuddered, “I went there to play when I was a child, but I often encountered will-o’-the-wisps.
Now people in our village don’t let their children go there. No one has been there for a long time.”
