About This Novel

Shiguang Grocery Store, hidden deep in the bluestone road of the old street, is an old store with a history of more than 50 years. It began with the perseverance of Lin Mo's grandmother, and is now passed down by Lin Mo. Although the paint is mottled, the wooden signboard has become warmer and warmer over the years. The wind chimes at the door ring softly, as if telling the story of time. This is not only a grocery store selling daily necessities, with soaps, enamel cups, sewing boxes and other daily necessities neatly placed on the shelves, continuing the old rule of "operating with integrity and taking care of neighbors"; it is also a secret base for collecting time. The innermost "time exhibition area" hides countless old objects - -A talking brass clock, an old record that can relive the past, a heroic pen that conveys longing, a stuffed bear that heals loneliness, an old marriage letter that witnesses fifty years of love... Each piece carries the memories and emotions of strangers, connecting the warm moments of family, friendship and love. There is no noisy promotion, no deliberate marketing, time here passes very slowly. Lin Mo guarded the counter, listened to the neighbors chatting about their daily life, accompanied the guests to search for lost memories in old objects, and caught every confusion and expectation with sincerity and kindness. The "ticking" sound of the old clock is intertwined with the old songs on the record player, and the fragrance of osmanthus is mixed with the smell of old wood, allowing everyone who enters the store to relieve their fatigue and feel the long-lost warmth and healing in the smoke of fireworks. Shiguang Grocery Store has always been more than just a store. It is the guardian of time, the bond of emotion, the imprint of the soul of the old street, and the spiritual harbor in the hearts of countless people.

A very healing novel. It would be great if there really was such a grocery store.
