The next morning, Mr Sun said quietly to Rufeng, ”You may not know this, but my landlord treats me the best and cares about me the most. Every time I go anywhere, she tells me. 'Afraid something will happen to me.'
”I can see that,” he replied. ”The landlord is a kind man. He treats people warmly.”
Mr. Sun urged again, ”Let's go and come back early. There won't be any problems. My landlord was afraid that I had gone too far and would come back too late to scare the two of us. If you don't believe me, I can walk around. ” ”Ah, so that's how it is,” said Ru Feng with a smile. ”Then let's go for a walk, and we didn't come to Japan for nothing.
Thus, the two of them secretly moved away from the house, went out to the car and enjoyed the scenery all the way to Mount Fu. The two chatted and laughed in the car, enjoying themselves.
It was noon when they arrived at a small seaside town. North of the town was a hill with a lake at the foot of it. The lake gave off a beautiful scenery. The two of them got off the car and entered the town. Both sides of the street were lined with signs and stalls. Shops were thriving, and there was a clamor from vendors for goods to be sold. It was a bustling scene.
Looking at these scenes, Mr. Sun said: ”An ordinary small town in Japan can actually be so prosperous. Enough to make us ponder. There are a lot of things we should learn. Japanese people are hardworking and good at business. ”
”Such a small town, such a bustling place, it really is something to be amazed about,” said Rufeng. It's no less prosperous than our middle city. ”
Teacher Sun laughed, ”Can you find out the reason behind this bustling place?”
”Apart from being in a superior position, it's just as you said: the Japanese are hardworking and good at business.”
Mr Sun added: ”The development of Japan's private economy has driven the Japanese empire from weak to strong, and it is constantly developing. His achievements were in the process of being rejuvenated by the Ming Dynasty. In order for China to flourish, it must also break the feudal system, reform its laws and develop its economy. ”
The Japanese businessman was very hospitable. The two of them were in the middle of a lively discussion when they were called over by a few waiters. Ru Feng didn't understand Japanese, but he understood the meaning of these greetings. Although he was not moved by the enthusiastic invitation, his appetite was aroused by the food that filled both sides of the street. Mr. Sun said, ”Let's not watch it for now. It's time for lunch. It's time for us to have lunch.” ”You should've told me earlier,” he said, smiling. ”Look at me, I'm drooling.”
Mr. Sun said with a smile, ”You made me see it.” The two chatted and laughed as they entered the restaurant with a female shop assistant. As he sat inside, the male and female employees became even more enthusiastic. Soon, he cooked the dumplings for Mr. Sun and Rufeng as instructed and brought them up to the table.
The two chatted as they ate. Both of them ate their fill. When he was done eating, he paid the bill. Mr. Sun said with a laugh, ”I forgot for a moment that I was wronged today.”
Ruo Feng was baffled. ”What have you done to make me feel wronged?” Mr. Sun said, ”I bought that dumpling for you for the beef filling.” Laughing, he said, ”I don't care about such things. Let bygones be bygones.” The wine and the meat had passed through his intestines, but Lord Buddha had kept all of it within his heart.
The two of them happily left the store and strolled down the street. See that the sale of more than food, clothing, shoes and hats, daily goods, everything. There were groups of tourists, there were elegant girls, there were free and unrestrained young men, there were old men holding umbrellas walking at a slow pace, there were women moving unsteadily, there were vicious thugs, and there were civilized and prudent men. The tourists were all different. Everywhere, for the sake of Mr. Sun's safety, Rufeng did not leave Mr. Sun's side, monitoring those wanton, vicious pedestrians. Unknowingly, they had left the town.
The two of them went for a stroll by the lake again. It was beautiful to stand by the lake and look around. He saw: the green water in the lake was rippling, while the short trees were filled with the fragrance of flowers and birds. The temple on the mountainside stands tall and graceful, the sky is blue and the clouds are white and the birds soar. It made people let it go, made people leave it behind. Mr. Sun came to the scene full of love poems, his mouth constantly reciting poetry praises. It turns out that the Chinese Tang and Song poems are also suitable for Japan.
The two of them first took a tour of the lake in a small boat, then abandoned the boat to slowly swim up the mountain. The two of them reached the mountainside and were enjoying the view when a gust of cold wind blew. After the wind passed, the dark clouds quickly rolled over from the sky. That day, the Duke was going to wash the world.
Mr. Sun looked up at the sky and said, ”Ah, a storm is brewing. This cool wind brings rain. It was about to rain heavily. We're going to be in the rain. What should I do? ”
