During dinner, Yang Jing specially opened a bottle of precious red wine, calling it "celebrating a pleasant journey."
The princess was naturally very happy about this - this blockhead had finally come to her senses and understood romance...
The girl drank more naturally when she was happy. Gege's alcohol tolerance was not very strong, so after drinking this bottle of red wine, Gege was already dizzy. In addition, she had been to so many places during the day, and after returning to the hotel room, Gege fell into a deep sleep without saying a few words.
After the princess fell asleep, Yang Jing tiptoed to the bathroom again, checked the time, changed his clothes, and then used his teleportation skill to arrive at the summer of 1982. As for the coordinates, it was naturally the Gu Nan Old Street in Shushan.
The shuttle location chosen by Yang Jing was located in a corner beside the Li River. He had already found the location when he visited Gunan Street during the day. This corner was located in a blind spot. As long as there was no one in the corner, it would be impossible for anyone outside to see him.
In addition, Yang Jing came here in the early morning, and except for some old men and women who got up early because they didn't sleep enough, there were almost no other people in the entire Gunan Street.
Yang Jing came out from the corner wearing an Adidas sportswear from the early 1980s, a pair of sneakers, and a backpack on his back. At first glance, this young man is a traveler, and this outfit will not arouse other people's suspicion. Of course, he also slightly adjusted his appearance before he traveled.
Not long after walking along the ancient street he had walked through during the day, Yang Jing saw a white-haired old man and woman sitting at the door of their house peeling water chestnuts. Seeing Yang Jing coming from a distance, the old woman smiled at Yang Jing kindly, while the old man looked at Yang Jing with vigilance. Obviously, the old man was very vigilant.
The old man had gray hair, was very thin, and wore a pair of glasses with black frames. He looked very vigorous and a little familiar.
Yang Jing took out a Polaroid camera and took a few photos of the old couple. Then after the photos dried, he walked over with a smile and handed three of the photos to the old lady who looked very kind.
"Hello, grandma. I am a Chinese expatriate in the UK. I am here to travel. I saw you two peeling water chestnuts just now. I felt very harmonious and warm. So I couldn't help taking a few photos of you. Please take a look. Do you like them?"
The old lady took the photo with a smile, took out a pair of reading glasses from the dustpan beside her, put them on, squinted her eyes and took a look, then her face was full of joy: "Wow, this photo is well taken, young man, thank you..."
The old lady spoke in the local dialect, which Yang Jing could not quite understand. However, the old lady seemed to know that it was difficult for outsiders to understand what she said, so she deliberately slowed down her speech. Yang Jing listened and guessed, but he managed to understand most of what she said.
The old lady showed the photo to her husband again. The old man took the photo and looked at it. His tense face broke into a smile.
This era is not like decades later, when anyone with a mobile phone can take photos. In those days, taking photos was still a luxury. You had to go to a photo studio and wait for several days to get the photos. Where had the old couple seen this kind of Polaroid camera?
In fact, if it wasn't for the purpose of getting to know these two old men, Yang Jing wouldn't have risked his life to take out this kind of camera. You know, this kind of instant camera won't be developed for another ten years, and there is no such camera in the world now.
However, Yang Jing guessed that the two old people didn't know when the Polaroid camera appeared. Besides, there was no one around, so he took the risk of taking out this camera to take pictures of the two old people in order to win their favor.
Sure enough, after seeing these three photos, the two old men became less wary of Yang Jing. Especially the old man, he even asked directly in not very standard Mandarin: "Young man, are you an overseas Chinese?"
"Well, Grandpa, I'm a returned overseas Chinese. I came back to China with my parents in the first half of this year. I took advantage of the summer vacation to go hiking, and then I met you two here."
Yang Jing's explanation made the old man's alert look disappear again. The old man looked at Yang Jing, forced a smile on his face and said, "Young man, what's the fun in coming here?"
"Oh, grandpa, you are wrong. Look around here, all of them are classic ancient buildings of our China. These are the essence left by our ancestors. I can't see such good buildings in the UK. Although there are high-rise buildings everywhere in the UK, there is no such ancient architectural beauty full of the charm of the Jiangnan water village. I like this place, I like the ancient buildings here, I like the river here, I like everything here!"
Yang Jing's words, especially the words "our ancestors", made the old man and the old lady smile again. This time the smile was obviously much happier, so Yang Jing decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Also, I heard from a friend that this is the birthplace of Chinese purple clay teapots. When I was in the UK, I particularly liked the purple clay teapots left by our ancestors. I also have a set of purple clay teapots handed down from the Republic of China period at home. I like them very much, so I have always wanted to visit the real birthplace of purple clay teapots. Now, this time when I return to China, I can finally fulfill my wish."
When the old couple heard what Yang Jing said, they looked at each other and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
The old man asked with a smile: "Young man, do you like purple clay teapots?"
