Cherry Blossoms (End)

 August.

Gu Yingqi's little cold drink shop opened.
In a strange little town far from Yanhai City, on a beach drowned in laughter.
He spent a lot of money renting a small tin shack, and even erected a huge awning outside the shop, so that his grandmother could lie in the old recliner under the awning, fanning herself with a palm leaf fan and listening to Kunqu Opera.
He still used the cell phone Zheng Jiujiu gave him, but changed the number.
His skin was tanned dark, and he patiently recommended his self-invented soft drink to each customer—Yingqi is a cold drink.
Occasionally, when he had free time, he would sit under the awning and recall the night he and his grandmother "escaped" from Yanhai City.
At that time, he left a letter in the old house.
He believed that Han Dong, who came to call him to go to work the next day, would hand that letter to Zheng Jiujiu.
Actually, it wasn't really a letter.
On the letter paper with his and his grandmother's fingerprints, there was only a house gift contract.
The old house and the house in the military compound were to be given to the Zheng family together. Gu Yingqi had carefully calculated the value when she checked the house sale information, and the combined value of the two houses should be enough to pay off one million.
Since her father never thought of any repayment when he made that decision, she decided to forget about the compensation.
