"By the way, Ayao, I happen to be looking for Xie Xiaochun, but it's the same thing with you? I want to rent room No. 5." Gao Bin said after paying the money.
"Huh? What's wrong? Room 6 is not enough?" Xie Zhiyao didn't understand.
"No, it's my father-in-law and mother-in-law who are coming. Isn't room No. 5 vacant?"
Xie Zhiyao smiled:
"That's it, no problem, I'll send a message to Xiaochun."
Gao Bin slapped his forehead:
"Look at me, I've been here for a few days and I forgot to use my phone."
"Haha, it's normal. Once you get used to staying here, everything will return to its original state."
"It's good. I don't want to become a low-key person. That's all right. I'll go back first. Grandma, I wish you a prosperous business."
Grandma’s face is kind:
"Thank you, kid. I'll have dinner at Grandma's house tonight and fry ham for you."
Of course Gao Bin would be happy:
"How about this? If you don't mind it, why don't you take me and Hongdou to go with you? I'll pay for the food."
"No, how much money can you spend on eating? I'm glad you can come to A'nai." Xie Zhiyao said.
"It's two different things, so that's the decision. But basically I'll just have dinner with you, and we'll solve it ourselves during the day."
Walking back with two small pendants, Hongdou just came back, and the two of them bumped into each other at the door:
"Eh? Why did you come out?"
When Gao Bin told what happened just now, Hongdou joked:
"I think you are afraid of being deceived, and your reaction is too intense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. By the way, I told Ayao about Room 5."
"I also told Xiaochun that starting from tomorrow, you can pay as much as you want."
"Yes, you can't take advantage of them. From now on, it will be your own business."
I went back to the yard and continued to save bicycles. Based on my previous experience, I saved the second one very quickly.
Finally, hang the pendant Xie bought from Grandma Xie on the front of the car, and the two transportation vehicles are completed.
Xu Hongdou liked the kitten ornament very much and played with it alone for a long time.
Put the car under the pergola, and the two of them go back to the room to rest.
Gao Bin has lived several lifetimes and has never been as comfortable as he is now. It seems that Huahua didn't lie to himself. This world is for you to completely relax.
Although there are still tasks hanging above his head, Gao Bin does not feel burdensome. It has been completed in a lifetime, and there is no need to rush.
Xu Hongdou was in a similar state to him. She was enjoying herself every day, sleeping when she was sleepy and eating when she was hungry. She didn't have to think about things. She had fresh air, sights that she couldn't get tired of, and her sweetheart could accompany her.<
/p>
She couldn't even imagine such a life. If it wasn't to fulfill Chen Nanxing's last wish, she wouldn't have thought of going so far away.
Now that I think about it, I really regret that I didn’t come to Dali earlier.
In the evening, he continued to go to Grandma's house for dinner. When he came back after dinner, Gao Bin was a little tired, so he went back to his room to rest. Xu Hongdou was in high spirits. After watching the movie alone, he felt unsatisfied, so he went downstairs with a thin blanket and wanted to have some fun for himself.
Get some midnight snacks and come back to the second part.
As soon as I arrived in the kitchen, I saw Nana sitting at the dining table, holding her chin in a daze.
"Eh? You haven't slept yet?" Hongdou stepped forward.
"Hongdou, good evening, you haven't slept yet?"
"I just finished watching an action movie, and I'm very excited." Hongdou said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that you would like to watch such exciting movies. Was it your wife who made you watch it?"
"No, no, he went to bed early. Even if you call him in his ear, you can't wake him up."
Nana covered her mouth and chuckled:
"I really envy you, you and Gao Bin are so affectionate."
"Haha, I'm lucky to have met him." Xu Hongdou made no secret of her love for Gao Bin.
At this time, Damai came over with a pot of noodles:
"Eh? Hongdou?"
"Da Mai didn't sleep either? Is this a midnight snack?"
"Yeah, I have an irregular schedule, so don't be surprised."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Would you like to eat something together?"
Damai’s invitation played right into Hongdou’s hands:
"Okay, I happen to be hungry."
Nana got up and went to get the bowls and chopsticks. When she came back and divided the noodles, she asked:
"Hongdou, what do you do? Why come to Dali?"
"I used to work in the front office of a five-star hotel, as the lobby manager."
"That's amazing." Damai said in surprise, as if it was the first time she heard it.
In fact, it had been introduced before, but she was so distracted at the time that she didn't listen.
Xu Hongdou smiled and didn’t reveal it:
"What's great about it? It's just a matter of qualifications."
"Anyway, it's really awesome. I haven't had a job since I graduated from college."
"Freelancing is also great, at least it won't be controlled by others."
Nana asked:
"Then why did you come back to Dali? Such a good job."
"Something happened, and I suddenly felt that life should be more than just work."
After all, they were still unfamiliar, so Xu Hongdou didn’t explain too much and instead asked:
"What about you? What did you do before?"
"I used to work as a cashier in a coffee shop in Shanghai. Later, the coffee shop laid off employees, so I drove here by accident. I thought I liked it very much, so I stayed and worked there."
Xu Hongdou nodded:
"How long do you plan to stay?"
"I haven't thought about it. If I can, I'll just stay here. Anyway, I don't have many friends in the city, so I don't have to worry about it."
"I'll go to the small restaurant tomorrow. I've been here for so many days and I still haven't tasted your craftsmanship."
Nana smiled sheepishly:
"I have just started to learn how to make desserts, but the coffee in our shop tastes good, so you can try it."
"Okay."
The relationship between girls comes and goes quickly. No, within a few words of conversation, the three of them have almost become best friends.
But the topic mainly revolved around Xu Hongdou. After all, Nana and Damai have known each other for a long time.
"How did you and Gao Bin meet?"
Girls are always more concerned about emotional issues.
...
After a few days, Gao Bin and Xu Hongdou have completely integrated into the life of the courtyard. Except for the elusive singer in Room 3, the rest of them are all familiar.
Gao Bin also chatted with Mr. Ma, who was nervous and liked to meditate.
The remaining girls talked about everything. Hongdou had nothing to do. Apart from wandering around the ancient town, she went to sit in the cafe and occasionally helped Nana entertain the guests.
Gao Bin was drinking tea with Mr. Ma. He had a lifetime of experience and could talk about any topic. Even if it was about metaphysics, was there anyone more metaphysical than him in the world?
He was having tea with Mr. Ma that day when Xie Zhiyao came over.
"Brother Bin, come here and tell you that your payment company has received it."
"Oh, that's good. By the way, I just have some ideas to talk to you about."
He said hello to Mr. Ma and took Xie Zhiyao to the yard:
"Who does the grassland where the company is located currently belong to?"
"It belongs to the village, what? What do you think, Brother Bin?"
"That grassland is very large, rich in grass, and has fresh water resources. You haven't thought about developing the grassland?"
Xie Zhiyao was not slow in thinking and immediately understood Gao Bin's intention:
"You mean to develop the pasture?"
"Yes! The company lacks flagship products. Tea is one way to go, but the audience is relatively narrow. Beef and mutton are what the public needs."
Xie Zhiyao gritted his teeth:
"But we don't have the manpower."
Gao Bin patted his shoulder:
"Aren't you stupid? There are so many people in the village who can be used as resources."
Xie Zhiyao was helpless:
"Although we are from the village, we have never herded animals."
"They are very similar. In the village, sheep, horses and cattle are raised. Although they are all raised in captivity, the essence is the same."
"That's right. Then I'll go back and talk to a few old people to discuss buying a batch of babies first?"
"Make a good match of males and females so that we can cultivate the next generation."
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Calfs and lambs are not cheap, but with Gao Bin’s capital injection, it won’t be a big problem to raise 100 at first.
"There are many literary and artistic young people in Dali. We can use their ability to learn new things to guide them to do online live broadcasts. If we can cultivate one or two big Vs, it will also help us sell beef and mutton in the future."
Xie Zhiyao nodded:
"This is already planned."
"That's good. You go ahead and do your work. I'll tell you if I have any ideas."
...
Xie Zhiyao is a talented person, and he has his own insistence on revitalizing the countryside. Gao Bin is willing to let him do it. Anyway, he is not willing to do it himself, as long as he controls the general direction and does not make mistakes.
After all, he has invested all his wealth in this life. Even if he doesn't make money, he can't lose money, otherwise his life will be in vain.
"Gao Bin~"
Xu Hongdou poked his head out of the room.
"Hey, what's going on here?"
"Come up here, I have something to tell you."
"Okay."
Deng Deng Deng stepped upstairs and entered the house. Xu Hongdou closed the door and stared at him with her charming red phoenix eyes.
"What's wrong with this?"
"My parents are coming."
"Oh, wasn't this already decided?"
"I mean, they'll be here soon, and they're in the taxi right now."
"Ah? So sudden?"
Xu Hongdou shook his phone:
"Didn't I just receive a call from them? It's obviously a surprise attack."
"Okay~" Gao Bin stabilized his mind and said:
"You go to Room 5 to clean up first, and I'll go to Xie Qin's small shop to buy some daily necessities."
"Okay, then go and come back quickly. I just said we'll be there in 20 minutes."
"Okay, I'll ride there."
It actually only took about 10 minutes, not 20 minutes. Gao Bin is indeed a fast shooter.
I helped put all the toiletries away, and before I could take a breath, I had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
The two of them hurried to the entrance of the village to greet them. As soon as they met, Xu Hongdou hugged her parents, and they were not as nervous as before.
"This girl, how old she is, is still crying."
She said she was disgusted, but when she held her daughter, the mother couldn't help but shed tears.
However, Hongdou’s father was very steady and looked at Gao Bin with a smile:
"Is it Xiao Gao? Hello, I am Hongdou's father."
"Hello, uncle, I am Gao Bin." Gao Bin stepped forward and bowed slightly to say hello.
At this time, Xu’s mother adjusted her mood, pushed her daughter away, and looked at Gao Bin:
"The young man is very clean, handsome and nice."
"Hello, aunt, how about we go back to the B&B first and then sit down and chat slowly?"
"Okay, okay, let's go clean up first. I'm exhausted from this journey." Father Xu agreed.
Gao Bin helped carry the luggage and walked in front with Xu's father, while mother and daughter held hands behind and talked to each other.
Returning to the B&B, I put my luggage in Room 5, and then took them to visit the entire yard. I was very satisfied with the accommodation environment.
"This yard is really nice, her dad, why don't we also buy a yard in Dali? Come and live here for a few months every year." Xu's mother said excitedly.
"I don't have any objection, you can make the decision on this matter."
Hongdou smiled and said:
"Mom, there's no need to buy it. Gao Bin bought this yard a few days ago and is going through the transfer procedures. Soon this yard will be ours. You can come anytime you want."
"Really? Gao Bin." Xu's mother said in surprise.
This time I came to Dali, firstly to see my daughter whom I haven’t seen for a long time, and secondly to inspect my son-in-law.
Although we chatted a lot on the phone, some things still have to be seen with one’s own eyes to be believed.
For example, now, they have a new understanding of Gao Bin's abilities.
I don’t know how much this yard costs, but I guess it’s not too cheap. Being able to buy it directly shows that the financial strength is online.
"Yes, Auntie, Hongdou and I are planning to settle down in Dali. We can't just do nothing. Buying this yard and running a B&B is also a good direction."
Xu’s mother nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, I don't ask you to live a good life. Just a simple life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea."
"Yes, we have all thought about it. Life in big cities has long been tiring, so it would be nice to spend the rest of our lives here."
Xu Hongdou echoed.
"Eh? Binzi, can I call you that?" Father Xu said.
"Of course, of course."
"I think this place is not far from Erhai Lake. After dinner, your mother and I will go for a walk on the edge of Erhai Lake. You can tell us how to get there."
Gao Bin nodded:
"Actually, Dali is not very big. It only takes half an hour to walk from here to Erhai Lake. Let's go together after dinner."
Seeing that it was noon, Gao Bin took them to Youfeng Coffee to eat something simple. In the evening, Gao Bin personally cooked to entertain his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The coffee shop was doing well and was almost full. When they went there, only one table outside was still empty.
Fortunately, neither father nor mother are picky, and they don’t feel that they are being treated poorly.
Hongdou went to order food, and Xu’s father asked Gao Bin:
"I heard from Hongdou that you were previously engaged in the financial industry?"
"Yes, they are commonly known as financial migrant workers. They are responsible for maintaining customer relationships. They travel all over the world and never stop."
"Hey, so you have the opportunity to travel at public expense?"
Gao Bin smiled and nodded:
"It can be said that sometimes the work is completed in advance, and it is quite nice to just wander around the local area, eat delicious food and see the culture."
"No wonder you look so free and easy."
Ginger is still old and spicy, and Father Xu is very good at judging people.
However, Gao Bin's free and easy attitude is not due to running around in other places all year round, but because of the experiences he has had in several lifetimes, and he takes everything very lightly.
"Uncle, thank you. You and aunt will come and stay here more often in the future. Hongdou actually misses you very much, but because of the incident with Nanxing not long ago, she felt very uncomfortable and was unwilling to go home."
Mother Xu sighed:
"We know that Nan Xing is a really good kid. He is so young, so why is he..."
Dad Xu coughed twice to remind:
"Hongdou is back, don't talk about this."
"What are you talking about? I ordered tea, and there are also porcini mushroom pancakes, tea tree mushroom meat cakes, etc. If it's not enough, let's ask for more."
"That's enough. Your dad and I can't eat much, Hongdou. This time we're here to bring our household registration book with us."
Hongdou said happily:
"I knew you were the best."
"Binzi, we can leave Hongdou to you. Although it is our first time contacting you, I can feel that you are a responsible child."
Gao Bin solemnly promises:
"Uncle and auntie, don't worry, my ambition has been dissipated a long time ago. Now there is only one thing in my mind, which is to accompany Hongdou to live a complete life."
"Okay, with your words, I believe your little life will last forever." Father Xu said.
"By the way, Binzi, where are your parents? Since you are getting married, you have to meet your in-laws."
Gao Bin laughed:
"Originally, we thought about going back for a while and arranging a meeting between the two families. Unexpectedly, the two elders came first. How about this, I pick them up, relax for a while, and meet up for a meal by the way?" Father Xu affirmed:
"Okay, I have no objection, let's leave it at that."
"Okay, I'll make a call later."
Hongdou took Gao Bin's arm and whispered:
"I won't go shopping after dinner soon. The restaurant is too busy and I have to help Nana."
Gao Bin glanced at Nana who was milling around in the small kitchen and couldn't help but nod:
"Okay, then be careful yourself and don't get hurt."
Hongdou said angrily:
"Are you treating me like a child? After all, I am also a person in the service industry, so don't worry."
"Haha, don't worry, you are just a little confused. Then I will take them for a while and come back in the evening to cook."
"Okay, that's it!"
...
Gao Bin is very satisfied with his current life. It is the most comfortable he has lived in his life. He does not have to worry about money, his family's future, or his health.
I don’t have anything to worry about. I sleep until I wake up naturally every day. When I feel bored, I go to Youfeng Coffee to help me and feel the joy of work.
In the evening, sit on the pavilion, look at Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, sip a cup of tea, read a few pages of a book, and feel the tranquility of the years.
In the evening, snuggle up with Xu Hongdou, watch a movie, eat some snacks, do something you love, and then fall into a deep sleep.
After a long time, many people will feel tired. After all, life has no waves, just like drinking boiled water.
But water is a very important part of people's survival.
Anyway, Gao Bin didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and he didn't feel tired of it. On the contrary, he was very greedy for this kind of life.
The same goes for Xu Hongdou, who did not change the lifestyle she was just used to just because of her parents' arrival.
At most, I can spend some time every day walking around the ancient town with my parents, buying some local specialties or national costumes, and taking pictures everywhere.
Other than that, nothing has changed.
Her relationship with Gao Bin has never been a vigorous one, but a steady flow.
Every day seems to be ordinary, but in the ordinary life, the relationship is gradually strengthened, and the two have become neighbors and a couple of gods in the eyes of their friends.
A few days ago, a young couple came to Youfeng Coffee. They were planning to travel for a trial marriage, and their first stop was Dali.
While resting in a cafe, I heard about the love story of Gao Bin and Xu Hongdou from Nana. The young couple immediately turned into fans and fans, and said they would post their story online to let more people know. Gao Bin finally convinced them with his hard talk, and he would die quickly if he showed affection.
In fact, whether it is love or career wealth, once it gains more exposure, it means the beginning of prosperity and decline.
