Xu Hongdou slept particularly soundly that night. She didn't know whether it was because she was tired or because mosquito coils had a soothing effect.
She always felt that the mosquito coils given to her by the girl named Damai smelled particularly good.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Xu Hongdou woke up naturally from his sleep, stretched out and sat up, feeling completely refreshed.
After washing up, Xu Hongdou saw that the time agreed with Wang Gang had not arrived yet, so she went to the kitchen to prepare some scented tea to drink on the way.
On the way to Yunmiao Village, she bought some Yunnan specialty "Golden Emperor Chrysanthemum".
"Golden Imperial Chrysanthemum" needs to be soaked in pure water. When soaked in boiling water, the color is like gold and the shape is like a hydrangea, as if the yellow chrysanthemum is blooming for the second time. Moreover, the imperial chrysanthemum can be soaked for a longer time. The longer the second soaking time, the brighter yellow color will be.
It doesn't lose half of it, but it looks even more delicate in the cup.
Xu Hongdou bought a pound of "Golden Royal Chrysanthemum" just because of its appearance.
After arriving in the kitchen, Xu Hongdou saw the barley who lent her mosquito coils yesterday.
"Good morning!" Xu Hongdou greeted enthusiastically: "Thank you for lending me the mosquito coil yesterday."
When Damai saw Xu Hongdou, he nodded, then kept his head lowered, not daring to make any eye contact with Xu Hongdou.
Xu Hongdou didn't take it seriously and took out pure water from the refrigerator to boil water.
"I have Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemum here, would you like a drink?" Xu Hongdou asked Damai.
Damai was cooking something on the stove at this time. Hearing Xu Hongdou's words, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at the iron pot.
"I cooked some rice noodles. There are a lot of them. How about you order some?"
"Okay! I'll treat you to some scented tea, and you treat me to some rice noodles." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.
Da Mai nodded dully, then took out two bowls and divided the pot of rice noodles into two bowls, giving one bowl to Xu Hongdou and one bowl to himself.
Xu Hongdou also made Barley a cup of tea.
Counting today, the two have only met three times, but they have a vague understanding and sit at the same table to eat.
Xu Hongdou took a bite of the rice noodles made from barley and was full of praise.
"The rice noodles you make are so delicious."
When Damai was praised, he nodded dully and took a sip of scented tea.
"Your tea is also very good."
The two of them stopped talking after that. Xu Hongdou was concentrating on the food, while Damai would not take the initiative to speak unless necessary.
Lin Na came to the kitchen at this time and happened to see this silent scene.
"DaMai, you got up early enough today." Lin Na poured a glass of water for herself and teased DaMai.
Damai lowered his head and whispered: "Actually, I haven't slept yet."
"It's not okay for you to always reverse day and night like this." Lin Na said with concern.
Damai nodded by default. She seemed to like nodding rather than talking.
"Nana, do you want some scented tea?" Xu Hongdou asked kindly.
"Thank you, I'll just drink water." Lin Na took out cereal and milk from the refrigerator.
The three women sat together to eat, but no one spoke.
When the three of them had almost eaten, Wang just appeared with a thermos cup.
"Brother Wang, have you eaten?" Xu Hongdou asked subconsciously.
Wang Gang shook his head and said, "No, didn't Xiaochun say he would bring us breakfast yesterday?"
"Oh, I forgot." Xu Hongdou said in surprise.
Wang Gang was speechless. He found that Xu Hongdou's memory didn't seem to be very good. He didn't know if it was because he was on vacation and his mind was empty, so he didn't have to worry about work.
Wang Gang took out a can of wolfberry from the refrigerator, poured some into a thermos cup, and then poured some hot water.
Xu Hongdou saw this and joked: "Brother Wang, you're not very young yet, and you've already started soaking wolfberries in a thermos cup?"
"got used to."
Wang Gang pulled up a chair and sat down, and said: "It's rare that there are so many people here so early in the morning, except Ma Ye and Hu Youyu."
Lin Na smiled and said: "Hu Youyu is a night owl. He has his share of late night snacks, but breakfast is impossible."
The few chatted awkwardly for a while, and then Xie Xiaochun appeared in the windy courtyard with breakfast.
Xu Hongdou apologized specifically to her for forgetting to bring breakfast.
Of course Xie Xiaochun would not take such a trivial matter to heart.
"Nana, today I'm going to the ancient city to handle some matters. Please keep an eye on me in the store."
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaochun, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm in the store."
After a few words with Lin Na, Xie Xiaochun and Xu Hongdou followed Wang Gang and walked out of the village.
Xu Hongdou soon saw a white Land Rover.
Although she was not a car fan, she still worked in a hotel and knew that the car in front of her was called a Range Rover, and the cheapest one cost more than one million.
"Brother Wang, is this your car?" Xu Hongdou finally understood why Xie Xiaochun did not dare to drive Wang Gang's car.
She wouldn't dare to drive it herself!
Range Rover is the largest SUV in the Land Rover brand, with a length of more than 5 meters and a height of more than 2 meters.
A car of this size is obviously too big for a girl to handle, let alone one that costs millions.
Xu Hongdou would feel sorry for his wallet if the car got scratched when he borrowed it.
Xu Hongdou also discovered that the car was a Beijing brand.
"Brother Wang, you didn't drive all the way from the capital to Yunmiao Village, did you?"
"Get in the car!" Wang Gang unlocked the car and called Xu Hongdou and Xie Xiaochun to get in the car.
Xie Xiaochun naturally sat in the passenger seat, while Xu Hongdou could only sit in the back seat.
After getting in the car, Wang just explained to Xu Hongdou: "I didn't drive to Yunmiao Village on purpose. I just drove wherever I went. I drove all the way and had fun. Later, I felt that Yunmiao Village was very comfortable, so I stayed."
Xu Hongdou's eyes lit up and he said: "You can drive it wherever you want, it sounds great."
Wang Gang started the car and said while driving: "It's actually quite tiring, otherwise I could rest in Yunmiao Village for a year."
Xu Hongdou thinks Wang Gang should be very rich, not only because of his million-dollar car, but also because of his attitude towards life.
There are a few poor people who can sit idle for a year without working and still not be short of money to spend.
"Brother Wang, you are a painter. Have you ever published any works?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously.
"My paintings are usually published abroad, but rarely in China. You may have never heard of them." After Wang Gang drove out, Xie Xiaochun peeled an egg for him.
Because Xu Hongdou had eaten breakfast, Xie Xiaochun didn't give it to her.
"Tell me about it, maybe I've heard of it?" Xu Hongdou was really curious about who Wang Gang was.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "My paintings are very niche, and you may not have heard of them." Wang Gang chewed an egg and said perfunctorily.
Xu Hongdou heard that Wang Gang didn't want to talk about painting, so he stopped asking.
"Brother Wang, have you been to many places? Have you been to all the places in the song "Maybe" you sang yesterday?" Xu Hongdou asked.
"Absolutely!" Wang Gang said with a smile: "I used to like to wander aimlessly alone, but recently I want to settle down. Maybe my thoughts are different in each time period!"
Xu Hongdou suggested: "Can you sing "Maybe" again? Sister Xiaochun didn't listen to it yesterday."
Xie Xiaochun said happily: "I have never heard Brother Wang sing before. I have to listen to it once today."
Wang Gang is not pretentious, he has sung it once anyway, and it happened to be boring along the way.
He turned on the car stereo, called up "Maybe" and played it directly, and then sang along a cappella.
Maybe the sunshine from the south shines on the wind from the north.
Maybe time was blown away and disappeared without a trace.
Maybe the only thing left in the story is one unforgettable person.
Maybe in my dream last night, I was still smiling innocently.
Maybe there are many wandering souls in Houhai, the capital city.
Maybe there are a group of lonely people in Chengdu tavern.
Maybe a smile on your pillow can warm you up in the morning.
Maybe there are shooting stars in the night sky to help you move forward.
Maybe someone on the wall of Xi'an vowed not to separate.
Maybe you have to go to Dali to truly love me.
Maybe someone said they would accompany you and hold hands throughout life.
You may laugh and shed tears, one day at a certain time.
Maybe there are fishing boats in Guilin that can light up your confusion.
Maybe in Hulun Grassland, cattle and sheep form the landscape.
You may never find anyone willing to trust you again.
Maybe after passing through the hesitation, the steps can be firm.
Maybe there are people who climb the Wudang Mountain Road religiously.
Maybe in the alleys of Zhouzhuang, I suddenly forgot about the annual rings.
It may take many years before we can clearly see the past.
Maybe there was a pair of gentle eyes around me at that time.
Maybe someone on the wall of Xi'an vowed not to separate.
Maybe you have to go to Dali to truly love me.
Although this was not the first time he heard Wang Gang sing this song, Xu Hongdou was still a little drunk when he heard it again.
She fantasized about following in Wang Gang's footsteps, wandering around Houhai, the capital, getting drunk in Chengdu taverns, feeling the elegance of the ancient capital at the city wall of Xi'an, indulging in the mountains and rivers of Guilin, galloping horses in the grasslands of Hulun, and finally they came to the picturesque...
Dali.
At this time, Xu Hongdou thought that if his good friend Chen Nanxing was still alive, he would inevitably fall in love with Wang Gang.
Fall in love with his talent, fall in love with his warm-heartedness, fall in love with his lifestyle.
