At eight o'clock the next morning, Cheng Ye got up and knocked on Xiang Huan's door.
After knocking a few times and getting no response, I sent a WeChat message asking Xiang Huan if he was awake and why he didn't open the door.
Xiang Huan replied that he had already gone out and wanted to go alone this morning.
Chengye asked if he was with Pan Ning, and Xiang Huan replied yes, so there was no need to wait for them for breakfast.
Cheng Ye returned to his room and asked Xiao Wu to have breakfast with him. During the meal, he mentioned that Xiang Huan went out early and didn't know why.
"Yesterday she went to the morning market by herself. Where else could she go so early today?" Narino lost her appetite this morning and felt full after just two bites.
Xiao Wu thought for a while, "She has never been able to get up early. This time it is quite strange, she is so early every day."
While Cheng Ye was waiting for Xiao Wu to eat, he was thinking about too many things quickly.
In particular, I carefully recalled everything that happened after Pan Ning suddenly came over. After thinking about it, I asked Xiao Wu if Pan Ning knew about it when he did it.
Xiao Wu chewed something in his mouth, frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, probably not.
"I think, yes." Narino also frowned.
"It doesn't matter if you know. It's not like you came forward. Who would pay attention to a foreigner like me." Xiao Wu was made unable to eat.
Narino looked at the last meat bun in front of him and said, "It's just because it's from outside that it's dazzling. I thought it was easy."
Xiao Wu took a sip of soy milk as he listened. He didn't think it was Chengye who made a mistake and thought it was easy.
Judging from the observations he had made with Narino for so many days after he came out, he was not a master who would make stupid mistakes.
At the same time, Xiang Huan and Pan Ning were climbing up the stone steps together.
They went to the cemetery in the town and had to climb a long way to get there.
arrive.
Last night, Pan Ning told her daughter that what Narino did behind her back was related to this cemetery.
Neither mother nor daughter had set foot in this place for ten years.
The last time I came here was to bury someone. I come here again this time, just for this person.
The cemetery has been renovated several times over the years, and it looks much better than before, but it also makes it difficult to find the person's tombstone.
In the end, Xiang Huan found it first. After she confirmed that it was correct, she turned around and walked away, not wanting to stand in front of this person's tombstone with Pan Ning.
Pan Ning ignored her, fixed her hair, stood in front of the tombstone and saluted.
There were no preparations like those for worship, no incense, candles or flowers. Pan Ning only put down a box of unopened cigarettes in front of the tombstone.
The weather in the town is a bit unusual today. It has obviously turned cold, but I felt sweltering when I went out in the sun this morning.
Xiang Huan's sweat kept flowing, and it seemed to get worse when he stood to rest.
It made her upset.
Looking back at my mother, Pan Ning was talking to the tombstone, her voice was very low and she couldn't hear clearly.
It would take a while, but Xiang Huan returned to life boredly, putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the mountains and woods around the cemetery.
By the time Pan Ning called her over, she had been standing there for half an hour without realizing it.
Xiang Huan walked back to the tombstone, reluctantly looked at the photo of the deceased on the tombstone, kicked the two hands in his pockets, and clenched them into fists.
"You're thinking too much. We're still in the same place." After Xiang Huan took a long breath, he spoke to Pan Ning.
Pan Ning also looked at the photo on the tombstone and did not answer thoughtfully.
Xiang Huan took two steps closer to the tombstone, kicked the tombstone with his foot, and laughed softly.
"Don't do this, it's not good for you."
Pan Ning asked Xiang Huan to stop.
Xiang Huan stepped back, not wanting to talk more in this place, and asked Pan Ning if it was time to leave after reading.
"Xiang Huan," Pan Ning called her daughter, pointing to the tombstone, "he is definitely not here. I mean, the real ashes and bones of Cao Jun are not here anymore."
The owner of the cemetery they were looking for was Pan Ning's boyfriend ten years ago, Cao Jun.
"But it doesn't look like it has been opened. Besides, the cemetery should be guarded now.
Well, don’t you know if it’s making a big fuss? Xiang Huan still didn't believe it and walked around the cemetery.
Pan Ning stood still and said, believe it or not, there will be an answer in the future, and it won't take long.
When the mother and daughter went down the mountain to leave, Cheng Ye also followed Xiao Wu to the cafe.
The decoration of the cafe has reached the final stage, and the equipment ordered today will also be delivered. They are here to inspect the goods.
Not long after I arrived, there were people applying for the job.
Xiao Wu posted about the recruitment of baristas in the town, and interviewed several people one after another, but no one was suitable yet, so he was worried about this.
Narino caught up with the interview and sat on the sidelines to observe the people who applied for the job.
The person who came was a tall, thin boy, 22 years old, a local in the town, who had returned from a junior college abroad.
I worked part-time in a coffee shop when I was in school, so I was pretty successful.
Cheng Ye found him quite pleasing to his eye, but the equipment in the shop was not in place yet, so he couldn't try out his craftsmanship right away.
Xiao Wu also took a fancy and left his contact information and asked the boy to come back tomorrow and have the equipment in place to make two cups of coffee.
In the chain coffee shop opposite the second floor of the ruined ballroom, Pan Ning and Xiang Huan were drinking coffee.
The store was packed with people today, and I had to shout loudly to be heard.
Xiang Huan wanted to leave, but Pan Ningfei pulled her to sit down and drink before leaving.
The seat where Narino and I sat when we came last time happened to be vacant today, so the two of them went over and sat down.
Pan Ning looked at the ruins outside the window. This time he came there and saw that it had been surrounded by a board with the word "Demolish" written on it.
"This place is finally going to move." Pan Ning said into her daughter's ear.
Xiang Huan didn't speak, and had no expression on his face. He drank a lot of coffee and quickly bottomed out.
"Let's go, don't sit down, I'm going back to the resort directly." Pan Ning saw that her daughter was uncomfortable staying here, so she took the initiative and walked out.
Xiang Huan went directly to the cafe without asking Cheng Ye. When he arrived, he saw the equipment arriving and being carried inside.
Xiao Wu flew up in a hurry, Cheng Ye also stood aside to help watch, and turned around to see Xiang Huan coming.
"A good barista came today, boy, he's a master." Narino said about the interview.
"The work is progressing quite quickly. How can we decide on the opening date?" Xiang Huan is a little envious of the progress here. In comparison, the place in her club is much slower.
"The opening date needs to be calculated by an expert. By the way, do you still remember the grandma who used to take care of things in this town?" Chengye asked Xiang Huan.
Xiang Huan recalled that she really remembered such a person. She had gone there with Pan Ning before, and was even considered a matchmaker.
"Does she still see things now? She's not young anymore."
Chengye said he still wanted to see it, and had asked Xiao Wu to inquire about it, but now he can only see it at night, and he had made an appointment to go there at 7:30 tonight.
"Let's go back tomorrow, right?" Xiang Huan had almost forgotten that he would only stay for two days this time.
Narino pulled her to the side and stood further away, saying that she would leave tomorrow afternoon.
, flew back this time.
Because they had to go to see something tonight, they had dinner early. It was only during dinner that Narino asked why Pan Ning was not there.
Xiang Huan said that she had something to do and asked her to tell Chengye, but she forgot about it.
The caretaker grandma lives on the edge of town. They arrived ten minutes early and there were already several people waiting in the yard to queue up.
Xiao Wu said that they were ranked third tonight.
Before they started, they found chairs in the yard and sat down. Others around them looked at the three of them curiously.
Chengye asked Xiang Huan if he still remembered what he was like when he came here before and what he saw with his grandma.
"My mother came to see me about business matters, and by the way, she gave me a look at my future marriage."
"Marriage, remember what you said, let me listen." Narino looked very interested.
