Chapter 36

Zhao Jiangsheng is not very familiar with Jiangcheng, where the provincial capital is located.He grew up in Zhaojia Village since he was a child, went to primary school in the village, middle school and high school in the county seat, and then was admitted to a university to study medicine, master and doctorate in another province, and then went abroad for further studies... Jiangcheng was his transfer station when he went out and returned. Once I stopped by for a while, I never got to know the city well.

Returning to Jiangcheng to develop is a decision Zhao Jiangsheng made after he went to college, not just because it is his hometown.

I heard from my parents that I was born in Jiangcheng.My parents are getting old and don't really want to leave their hometown. If I choose another place, I may not be able to take care of them.

So after he came back from studying abroad, although he had many choices—the former hospital affiliated to his alma mater also welcomed him back.My seniors also recommended several major hospitals in Beijing.But in the end he chose Jiangcheng.

Provincial People's Hospital is the best and largest hospital in Jiangcheng.The current dean is also his own alumni.He complied at his strong invitation.The reason why I chose the Provincial People's Hospital was actually my own selfishness. In addition to being convenient to take care of my parents, it was also because my father's amputation was done in the Provincial People's Hospital.And he was also born in the Provincial People's Hospital.There are more or less feelings in it.And about Jiangcheng, there is a lot that needs to be understood by oneself, it is time to start.

Zhao Jiangsheng is a rigorous and planned person.

Zhao Jiangsheng was preparing to return to Jiangcheng long before he went abroad for further studies. He entrusted a real estate agency to buy an elevator room near Binjiang Road. It has three bedrooms, two halls and two bathrooms. You can see the river view, and it is not far from the Provincial People's Hospital where he works now. not far.When he came back, the intermediary also praised him for his vision and bought it, because the house prices in Jiangcheng have risen a lot in recent years.Zhao Jiangsheng was not thinking about the issue of rising house prices, he thought that he would have a house to live in as soon as he came back.After I settled down, I went back to my hometown to pick up my parents. The family was reunited and lively.

As long as he is not on duty, Zhao Jiangsheng likes to take a walk at night.During the day, my parents would wander around the community garden when they were free to buy vegetables and cook.They don't like going out very much at night because of Dad's legs.After having dinner with his parents, Zhao Jiangsheng went out for a walk by himself.He likes to think about some problems in this way, and he will subconsciously avoid thinking about some things when facing his parents at home.

The neighborhood where he lives is on Binjiang Middle Road. Every time he goes out, he likes to walk upstream along the riverside, and he likes the scenery along the riverside very much.One day, he passed an intersection and felt familiar, but he clearly remembered that he had never been there.Following his feeling, he turned into the intersection curiously. It was a small street. He noticed that the street sign standing at the intersection said "Ginkgo Road".

It turned out that there were tall ginkgo trees on both sides of the street, which looked like they were many years old.

The houses on both sides are also very distinctive. All kinds of garden houses are not modern imitations, but are really old.The garden is all surrounded by carved iron railings, covered with roses or wisteria, and even the street lamps are old-fashioned, shining dimly.If he hadn't seen the pedestrians passing by in the same modern clothes as himself, Zhao Jiangsheng would have wondered if he had returned to the concession in the Republic of China, or a small town abroad.

Going further, I saw a chic small western-style building, white, which is particularly eye-catching in the dark, forming a strong contrast with the taupe church next to it.

The large carved iron gate at the entrance was wide open, and a neon light box was shining with the words: Don't come to the safe cafe.

Stay safe, the name is interesting.

This is a gentle greeting from an old friend after a long absence.

It's like the call after returning home after running around for many years: Zhao Jiangsheng, stay safe.

Standing at the gate, Zhao Jiangsheng was in a trance for a moment, as if he had gone through all kinds of mountains and rivers and finally returned home.

Zhao Jiangsheng, stay safe.

he asked himself.

The few tables and chairs in the garden were already full of people, but the fragrant coffee in the Xiaobailou seemed to be calling him, so he couldn't help but walk in.

A waiter greeted him: Sir, welcome.He was invited into the hall and arranged for a window seat, where he could see the garden outside and the beautiful houses on the opposite side, and he was very satisfied.

"Sir, are you eating or drinking coffee?" The waiter was young and had a sweet voice.

"Oh? Can you still eat here?"

"Is this your first time, sir? In addition to coffee and various beverages, we also provide Western and Chinese light meals for the convenience of office workers nearby."

"Are there many office workers around here? I think they are all households in garden houses."

"Sir, did you come in from the intersection on Binjiang Road? Go out from here and walk to another exit. In less than 10 minutes, you will be on the pedestrian street and commercial area. There are many office buildings."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't know that this street was connected to Binjiang Road at one end and led to Pedestrian Street at the other end."

"It doesn't matter. It must be the first time, sir, and you will be familiar with it after several visits. Our place can be called the back garden of the pedestrian street, and the gentleman will definitely like it."

"Haha! A waiter boss who can talk like you should give you a raise."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"Let's have a cup of coffee today! Any good recommendations?"

"How about the freshly ground Nanshan?"

"it is good."

"Sir, this is our menu, you can take a look at it to pass the time, the coffee will arrive in a while." The waiter bowed and stepped back.

Zhao Jiangsheng only has time to look at the cafe. The decoration is very sentimental, warm and comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a row of booths by the window. There are not many customers, and one of the tables is a few elderly people.On the other side is the bar, with stairs leading upstairs, and beyond there is a small oval stage with a piano on it, and a silver-haired old gentleman playing.Zhao Jiangsheng doesn't know much about music, so he doesn't know what kind of tune the old man is playing?But it sounds very comfortable and makes people feel very peaceful.

Right here today, it's really a nice place.Although I haven't had coffee yet, Zhao Jiangshan has given a satisfactory score to the environment here.

After the old man finished playing, he stood up and bowed down, very gentlemanly.Someone applauded below, and an old lady from the table of seniors walked forward with a rose and presented it to the old gentleman.The old man took the rose, kissed the old lady gently on the face, thank you, and then the two returned to their seats holding hands.

"Wow! It's so romantic! Holding your hand and growing old with your son is like this!"

Zhao Jiangsheng heard the voice of a woman from the booth next door.

Followed by a male voice, "How about it, this place is not bad. Let's come here often in the future."

"Yeah! I also wish we could hold hands and drink coffee together like they did when we were both gray."

"Yes, I will."

Zhao Jiangsheng smiled knowingly.

"Sir, your coffee, sorry to keep you waiting."

The waiter brought the coffee!Soft voice.

With the warm scene just now, Zhao Jiangsheng felt that even if the coffee was not as good as he thought, he could endure it.Because he likes to drink coffee very much, at first the ordinary one was okay, but later, the mouth became more and more, and the requirements for coffee became higher and higher.His roommate once said that he was poor.

However, after taking a sip, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: It's really good.It seems that the owner of this coffee shop is really attentive.

Since then, he has liked it here.Come over when you are free.Apart from his colleagues, he has no friends or places in the provincial capital that he particularly wants to go to.Take a seat at this cafe and have a cup of coffee is a good choice after work.
