Doctor Wang left nothing behind, except for a sentence and a letter.
I heard from the current pharmacy manager that Dr. Wang left many letters during his lifetime, all of which were for old friends, those who had gone to other places due to the war.
Over the years, I have submitted many letters one after another, but some of them are still sealed in the box and have never been taken out.
Chen Changsheng asked: "What about the remaining letters?"
"Maybe it will rot in the box."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng sighed softly and left the pharmacy with the letter left by Doctor Wang.
Maybe it's true, in this world of ups and downs, maybe the letter written down is destined to rot in that box.
Chen Changsheng returned to the small courtyard. When he reached the door, he glanced sideways at the closed door to the side, looked back and returned to the courtyard.
Sitting on the bench, I opened the letter left by Dr. Wang.
[Mr. Chen must have come back after seeing this letter.]
[How good have you been eating out these past few years? Is the noodles on the stall outside as fragrant as Qingshan City? Did you still read books later? Did you sleep well? I heard that there is another war outside, so Mr. Chen must be careful.]
【No matter what, take care of yourself.】
There were only a few words in the letter, which were the last words Doctor Wang left for Chen Changsheng.
Doctor Wang is such a person, and the content of the letter is as simple as his person.
But it's such a simple statement.
But Chen Changsheng looked at it for a long time.
Perhaps the friendship in this world should be so simple. Eat well? Sleep well? Take care of yourself...
Chen Changsheng put away the letter and hid it deep in his sleeve. There were many things in his sleeve, but in his opinion, many of them were not as valuable as a left letter.
This may be the meaning of walking in the world of mortals.
………
It's almost sunset.
Chen Changsheng walked out of the small courtyard and came to the door of the courtyard opposite yours.
He clicked the door bolt and waited quietly.
"Coming."
A voice came from the courtyard.
I saw a crack in the courtyard door, and a pair of eyes looking out. After seeing the person in front of me, I asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I'm coming down to see my boss, please let me know."
"Oh, wait a minute."
The maid said this and then closed the door.
Then Chen Changsheng heard the sound of people going upstairs at the door.
After a moment, there was a burst of lighter footsteps coming from behind the door.
The door was opened from the inside.
It was still the maid who opened the door, but there was another person standing behind the maid.
Wearing a green shirt and long skirt, her hair was rolled up with a hairpin, and two strands of green silk were hanging down from her temples. Looking at her, she felt that the person in front of her was as clean as lotus leaves and clear water.
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and said, "How are you doing lately?"
"It should be better than Mr. Chen."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if years had passed.
It's the same every time we meet.
But for Yunxiang, it was good to see her again.
………
Yunxiang asked the maid to step back.
She poured wine for her husband, which had been sitting there for some time.
"Qiuyue Brewing?" Chen Changsheng said in a daze.
Yunxiang nodded and said: "Brought here specially from Qiuyuefang."
"Thank you."
Chen Changsheng was no longer polite when he saw the wine. After a gap of years, when he tasted the Qiuyue Brewing again, he couldn't help but feel that the taste was very different, probably because there was more thoughts in the wine.
After tasting the wine, Chen Changsheng said: "When Shopkeeper Zhuang talked to Chen, Chen was still thinking about what kind of person his boss would be."
After hearing this, Yunxiang asked: "Now that we have met, sir, what kind of person do you think my boss is?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "A little maid who is not very smart?"
After hearing this, Yunxiang nodded and said, "Yunxiang is the little maid."
She still missed the days when she was a maid for her husband.
Chen Changsheng said: "Actually, there is no need to make this trip in person. The road is not smooth, so in case something happens, just send a letter and Chen will be there in no time."
Yunxiang shook her head and said, "It was Yunxiang who wanted to come out and have a look."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but think about how Yun Xiang traveled through mountains and rivers to reach Qingshan City. In today's world, it is not easy to take such a journey.
Yunxiang asked: "Sir, have you been in Qingshan City these years?"
"Here sometimes."
"Still in Huaixu?"
"Um."
"How does it compare to Qiuyuefang?"
"Maybe it's the same."
Yunxiang nodded and said: "For sir, it may not be important where you are. What is important is where the acquaintances are. Is Yunxiang right?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"From now on, Yunxiang will live in Qingshan City. When sir leaves, Yunxiang will leave."
Chen Changsheng paused and said, "Miss Yun, why are you doing this..."
"Sir, do you feel guilty?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "Chen is a rotten person and cannot be treated like Miss Yun."
"What's the matter, Mr. Guan?"
Yunxiang looked at Chen Changsheng and said: "It's just Yunxiang's wishful thinking. Brother Tang also said that I am a willful girl. Yunxiang only wants to be willful in this matter in her life, just this once."
"My husband said last year that Yunxiang should live for herself. For a long time, Yunxiang has been thinking about what it means to live for herself. After decades, Yunxiang finally understands now."
Yunxiang paused and said, "That's why I came."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but suddenly realized, and said: "Miss Yun would rather wait for a lifetime? She may even not be able to wait for a lifetime."
Yunxiang looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "What if Yunxiang is willing?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Yunxiang and suddenly realized that the girl in front of him was much bolder. He remembered that Yunxiang would never say such a thing.
The table fell silent.
Yunxiang saw that her husband didn't answer, so she said, "Sir, wait for me for a moment."
Chen Changsheng saw her getting up and going upstairs.
After a while, Yunxiang walked down carrying a bag of oil paper and handed it to Chen Changsheng.
"Preserved fruits." Yun Xiang said.
Chen Changsheng opened his mouth, knowing that he had no choice but to accept it.
"Thank you, Miss Yun." Chen Changsheng said.
Yunxiang said: "Sir, go and do your work. Yunxiang will visit you later."
Chen Changsheng opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, he just said goodbye, and then he left the small courtyard with the candied fruit.
After returning to his courtyard, Chen Changsheng sat down.
Across an alley.
He couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
This girl is so old now that she will even find a way out for him.
Chen Changsheng glanced at the oil paper bag placed on the table.
He couldn't help but think that he seemed to have done something wrong, and it had reached a point of no return.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that even if it happened again, I might not be able to escape this cause and effect.
………
In that small courtyard.
The maid was lifting her shoulders for her young lady and said: "Miss, I heard from the shopkeeper Zhuang that Mr. Chenjiu Tea prefers bitter things like wine and tea. Will he like it if the lady gives me candied fruit?"
Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "I'll like it..."
