Night came slowly, and there was nothing to do at the moment, so I moved a stool and sat under a small tree. Light a cigarette, look at the dim light upstairs and recall today's experience.
This summer vacation, I set foot on a foreign land again. I have been to Suzhou and Hainan before, but I am not used to life in big cities. This time, I came to Qianxi, a small county town, which is not small, but several times larger than my hometown.
However, some places are still familiar. Today, I took a bus and passed by Qianxi County. Looking at the buildings outside the window, the streets and alleys kept drifting by. Indeed, this is a familiar smell.
A small city smells like a small city, especially for a nostalgic person like me. There are not so many tall buildings and wide streets in big cities, which separate people too far. Although the city is big, people have no vitality. Everyone is in a hurry, commuting, traffic jams, and also a slave to life.
Moving to the west is neither big nor small, with the prosperity of big cities and the noise and anger of small cities. Walking in the alley, passers-by talked and laughed, including young couples and old couples. Their faces are filled with happy smiles, just like magic, slowly rippling like ripples, so that all towns are filled with such happy smiles.
I wander aimlessly, whether this small city belongs to me or a small county is suitable for me. There are small shops and snack bars on the roadside, and of course there are signs of small cities: roadside-small vendors. The peddlers' cries filled the streets and alleys of western Guizhou, and in an instant, the county town became lively.
Go to eat midnight snack in the evening and walk to a beef restaurant. After reading the price list for a long time, I didn't know how to order it, so I said to my boss, I want a bowl of beef powder.
The boss gave me an answer, but I didn't hear it, so I asked me in an emphatic tone, "Big bowl or small bowl?"
"Small bowl."
The boss said to me angrily, "I just asked you why you didn't say anything."
I was in a bad mood in an instant, and the service attitude of moving to the west was so bad. Soon, the boss put the powder in front of me and kindly said that the chopsticks were in the disinfection cabinet. Judging from the boss's attitude, the unhappiness just disappeared, and the thousand seals are still very good.
Walking out of the noodle restaurant, touching the round belly, picking the leftover beef between my teeth and looking at the neon lights on the street, I was flattered.
It's late at night, and people are tired in a foreign land. Wash and sleep. Good night, pleasant town in western Guizhou.
