Chapter 50 Jianjia Alley

T city.

Not far from the city center, there is an ancient alley.

It’s called Jianjia Lane!
  This alley has a long history. With the development of the times, some of the dilapidated houses around it have been built into high-rise buildings.

Only Jianjia Lane remains the same!
  Not only that, there are rumors that the entire alley was bought by a business tycoon. When everyone thought that this businessman would build a high-rise building in this area, the result was beyond everyone's expectation.

Not only has Jianjia Lane continued its quaint style, but every few years, it will be repaired by professionals. The merchants who rent this alley are curious about which wealthy businessman is so heroic, but they have never seen this wealthy businessman. .

At the end of the alley, there is a house. The door is locked all the year round, and few people come in or out. Occasionally, when someone goes in, it is just the cleaning lady.

I saw words written clearly on the gate of the courtyard.

Ataka.

The two words were written with a strong and powerful stroke. At a sudden glance, it was written by a man who knew calligraphy!
  On this day, when the sky was dark, this house opened its door. The merchants passing by came to take a peek. They were really curious!

Some merchants have been doing business in this area for many years and have never seen anyone living there.

However, everyone wandered outside for a long time and no one came out. After a while, everyone went about their business.

In the alley, the ground is paved with red bricks. Walking on them, you can feel a strong sense of age.

As noon approached, there were more and more tourists in the alley, and it gradually became crowded.

In An's house, a middle-aged man ran out from time to time and looked outside, as if he was looking for someone. After looking at the crowd, he turned around and left with a lonely face.

It wasn't until he reached the door of a side room that the middle-aged man stopped and said in a lonely voice, "Sir, the door is always open and no one is coming!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he stayed where he was for a long time.

Just as he was about to turn around, a deep and desolate voice came from the room.

"Keep waiting"

"Okay, sir!" the middle-aged man replied respectfully. Now he turned around and came to the courtyard, pacing back and forth!
  At this moment, Jianjia Lane is filled with shouts and drums, and various specialty handicrafts and delicacies emerge in endlessly, attracting tourists to stop!

There are many little girls in ancient costumes taking photos and checking in here, making the alley very crowded.

At this moment, Anying was squeezed into the crowd. Looking around, she saw that there were so many people. She was really in a dilemma.

You shouldn't be here! Anying sighed in her heart.

At this time, she was wearing a long cheongsam, and the slim skirt outlined her graceful figure. When she walked, she looked like a peerless beauty stepping out of an ancient painting.

Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, otherwise pedestrians passing by would probably have given her surprised looks.

After standing there for a while, the crowd slowly began to flow.

An Ying covered her mouth with her hands, slowly lowered her head, and coughed a few times.

She didn't sleep well last night and caught a cold. Fortunately, it was nothing serious except for a slight cough. Otherwise, her daughter would have noticed it during dinner and she would have been verbose again.

Thinking of this, An Ying felt helpless!

She followed the crowd and walked deeper into the alley.

With every step she took, her mood became heavier. She looked at the bricks and tiles around her, and some scattered fragments appeared in her mind.
  She forced herself to pull away from the memories, and her eyes fell on the surrounding eaves again.

The houses on both sides of the street are still the same as they were decades ago and have not changed.
  Her eyes gradually darkened, as if she was looking for something through these houses. The steps under my feet are getting harder and harder.

There is still some distance to the end of the alley.

An Ying's hands were clenched into fists and placed on her chest. Someone accidentally touched her arm with his hand and said "I'm sorry". She didn't react at all, as if someone behind her was pushing her forward.

"Let's buy some candied haws on a stick. Let's get some of the delicious and inexpensive candied haws on a stick!"

When she was stunned, an old man came forward and handed a bunch of bright red candied haws to her.

"Girl, let's have a bunch!" The old man was old, stooped, his face was full of wrinkles, and his teeth were leaking a little when he spoke. He must have lost most of his teeth.

Anying paused in her steps and turned her head to look at the old man. Soon, her eyes were filled with thin layers of mist, swirling in them!

"I want to buy two bunches." An Ying's voice trembled, and she struggled to spit out a few words from her mouth, as if she was suppressing her emotions for fear of losing control!
  When the old man heard her words, he was in a daze. He looked up at the woman in front of him and felt that she seemed familiar. However, the woman was wearing a mask, so the old man couldn't ask more questions. He quickly returned to his stall and took the He picked up two bunches of candied haws and put them in the bag, "Here, a total of ten yuan! Cash or scan the QR code?"

"Scan the code." After listening to the old man's words, An Ying immediately took out her mobile phone.

The old man took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

After Anying successfully scanned the QR code, the old man looked at her with a smile, "Girl, it's delicious and I'll buy it again!"

"Okay, Grandpa Wu!" An Ying blurted out.

When she realized what she had yelled and the words had already left her mouth, she was so frightened that she quickly crossed the crowd and walked forward.

The old man was left looking lost.

"Grandpa Wu"

Old man Wu had not heard such a crisp title for a long time, it seemed like it had been decades. Now that he heard it again, his memory was instantly brought back to more than twenty years ago.

At that time, a young man in the street often brought girls to buy candied haws.

Every time I buy it, girls have to buy two bunches!

Because she liked eating it so much, the young man looked at the girl with doting eyes. Even though he was short of money and had no money, he let the girl buy it.
  The old man was deeply impressed because the appearance of the man and woman at that time was so eye-catching.

The girl was extremely beautiful at a young age, and her face was one that would never be forgotten once she took one look at it. The young man was equally handsome and extraordinary.

The old man sighed and couldn't recall the memories.

However, the woman just now gave him the illusion that the girl from back then was back.

Maybe he is old and confused! Confusing people! And the "Grandpa Wu" just now may have been misheard by me.

Why! It’s just inconvenient to get older!

Blind and deaf! After the old man sighed, he continued to shout.

“Delicious candied haws”

An Ying walked quickly for a long distance, and after she stopped panting, she thought stupidly: How could Grandpa Wu still remember her after so many years?
  So, why did she run away?
  An Ying felt helpless when she thought that she was no longer young and had actually made such a reckless move!

The candied haws in her hand was not heavy. With her eyes lowered, she took out a bunch from the bag, put it to her mouth, and bit into one.
