Chapter 15
Dragging my exhausted body, I finally climbed the stairs and returned home. My parents have already returned to their bedroom at this moment, and the living room is empty.
After taking a bath, I lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. There was still a trace of excitement in the cerebral cortex. Whether this excitement came from the man in the Northeast or from Lao Zhang, I couldn't figure it out.
I don't know how long it took, but the time passed silently anyway, and finally for a moment, I closed my heavy eyelids and fell asleep in a daze.
It may be the self-regulation of the biological clock. I am used to getting up at seven o'clock in the morning. No matter what time I fall asleep, I will wake up naturally at that time.
When the midsummer sun shines through the window glass in front of the bed, I, Gordon, opened my eyes. Too bad, I haven't thought of how to deal with the Northeast guy.
Lying on the bed for a while, I had no choice but to get out of bed. Since I opened a pharmacy, I should open the door to start business earlier. I felt that I was about to get into the eyes of money. I couldn’t help feeling sad in my heart. Where did the lofty ideals go?How did it end up in such a state, how could the motivation of life be money besides money?Thinking about the days to come, my heart is gloomy for no reason.
Forced by life!
Since opening that half-dead drugstore, I have completely changed my past life habits.
Not to mention, the early bird catches the worm!
After a charge, it took me only 10 minutes to get dressed, freshen up, and stagger out of the house.
Home, has become a hotel, go home just to sleep!
I dragged my lazy steps back to the pharmacy slowly, numbly watching the gate of the pharmacy rising slowly, I let out a long sigh.
Day after day, when is the end.
The work in the pharmacy is cumbersome and boring. I cleaned up the hygiene of the pharmacy simply and quickly. It was nothing more than a bucket and a mop to roughly wet the floor tiles, and then I picked up Chinese herbs to make herbal tea. There are actually many kinds of herbal tea in Guangdong, and I , I only boiled a few herbal teas with some sales, such as Xia Sangju, Qingre Qushi Tea, Wanglaoji, Four Seasons Cold Tea and Xiahuo Tea.Don't underestimate these herbal teas. Although they only sell for three yuan a bowl, they are actually very profitable. The cost is only a few cents a bowl, and there is always a profit of tens of yuan in a day.
After finishing everything, I sat in front of the counter boredly, looking at the wall clock on the wall, dammit, the days are like years, it's only before nine o'clock, and there is no guest, and I can't find someone to talk to, these days When is the end?
Normally, at this time, I would turn on the computer and go online to read the news or log in to QQ to find someone to chat with, but today I am not interested. I am afraid that as soon as I log on to QQ, I will run into a man from the Northeast. I promised him yesterday afternoon I haven't thought about it yet, how can I keep my word?I am afraid of his eager looking eyes!
My stomach groaned twice, and then I remembered that I hadn’t eaten breakfast this morning. I glanced at the computer monitor and shook my head. People depend on food, so let’s fill our stomachs first. As the saying goes: There must be a way to the mountain.Maybe I figured out this way after breakfast, why bother to stick to it for a while.

The small food shop next to the pharmacy is about to become my designated dining spot. The location is convenient, and the food portion is particularly full. In a common Guangzhou dialect, it is called: big food and cheap food!
In fact, I like the beef brisket powder in the snack shop the most. I like the delicious soup. The taste always reminds me of many things that I wanted to forget but unforgettable in the past. Lao Zhang is the thorn in my heart. There is no way to start, and occasionally it will cause a dull pain in my heart.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m being cheap, but at the beginning of meeting Lao Zhang, there will always appear inadvertently. Lao Zhang and I met in a small restaurant, and we communicate with each other with the unique eyes of comrades. Of course, the price of this exchange is exchanged It has been a long period of pain for me, and the process of communicating with Lao Zhang was a painful experience, and it was also when I suddenly grew up in the circle.
When we met, we should have cherished them. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow, whether there is still a chance to live, whether there is still a chance to give each other care, hundreds of years of reincarnation in exchange for passing by in this life, How many sentences of chance are contained in a word of fate, in fact, it is not accidental but inevitable, because fate is arranged by heaven.
However, at the beginning, Lao Zhang often treated this relationship carelessly, and even often did things that hurt me, which made me feel sad and painful.
Touching my flat stomach, I walked out of the pharmacy as usual and turned left towards the snack shop as usual. When I was about to reach the snack shop, a call came from behind me.
"Maple!"
I stopped slowly, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Lao Zhang.In the early morning, Lao Zhang didn't go for morning exercise or drink tea, but he came to me. This is really an abnormal thing. I still remember that Lao Zhang went to the hotel every day for a cup or two and a pot of Pu'er for one morning.
When Lao Zhang saw that I had stopped, he speeded up and walked towards me. The dangling white plastic bag in his hand was particularly obtrusive.
"Fengzi, have you had breakfast?"
He had a kind smile on his face, and he seemed to be trying to please me, but it's a pity why this smile didn't appear in those years, and now I don't have the original impulse.

"Old Zhang, I'm going to have breakfast, have you eaten yet?", I was very hungry, I didn't want to entangle with Lao Zhang, just waiting for him to answer: Oh, I have eaten, I just happened to pass by here.Then I hurried to fill my stomach, and I felt my stomach acid was coming out.
"It's fine if you don't eat. I went to drink tea just now. I think I will pass by here when I go home. I packed durian cakes and egg tarts for you by the way. Come, eat while it's hot." Old Zhang handed the plastic bag in his hand to I.
Now I'm getting confused, one is in the south of the city and the other is in the north of the city, is it called passing through such a big circle?I cao!Old Zhang, you have a bit of backbone, okay?I beg you, old man, stop stalking me.
Of course, I couldn't say these words in front of Lao Zhang, because I am soft-hearted.Lao Zhang deliberately walked such a long way in circles to give me something to eat, how can I bear to show Lao Zhang's face again?What's more, durian crisps and egg tarts are indeed my favorites. When I smell them, I'm so greedy that my saliva almost drips down.
As the saying goes: Reach out and don't hit a smiling face.What's more, Lao Zhang was so sincere, I had no choice but to invite Lao Zhang to sit in the pharmacy.
As soon as I sat down, I couldn't wait to tear open the plastic bag and take out the lunch box. It smelled like a devil entering the village. I picked up a durian cake and stuffed it into my mouth. Lao Zhang felt distressed when he saw how I was devouring it: " Fengzi, eat slowly, and no one will grab it from you, it's all for you to eat."
I ignored Lao Zhang, finished a durian cake in two bites, and then picked up an egg tart and stuffed it into my mouth. Lao Zhang couldn't see it anymore, so he found a disposable cup and poured me a glass of water.
To be honest, I was a little soft-hearted in the face of Lao Zhang's thoughtfulness and consideration. It has been a long time since no one cared and cared for me like he did.People like me who love the elderly are looking for the same care as their parents. If there was no such thing as before, I would definitely throw myself into my arms, but unfortunately...it's a pity...
Lao Zhang and I can never go back to the past, he is not the same as before, and I am not the same as before, time has changed everything!
The past is gone like the wind, and the old love is gone!
