A short story about life's deepest fears

人间方寸,烟火长明
Send Sakura
Lin Xiaochen, a white-collar worker who resigned and returned home, plunged into a small stationery express store deep in an old alley, shattering the exquisite confusion in the office building amid the fireworks. The mottled wooden shelves, the mistaken express delivery, the smoldering neighborhood chatter, and the anti-slip wooden boards that shoe repairman Zhou silently nailed all became the warm breeze that melted the ice in her heart. This is not a legend of ups and downs, but the daily life of people in the street - the embarrassment of blocking the water pipes on a rainy night, the warmth of a bowl of hot porridge, and the tenderness of ordinary people holding hands with each other. When the morning light in the old alley spread over the counter, she finally understood that the so-called best taste in the world was never the numbers on the report, but the steaming togetherness and refuge hidden at the end of the alley.
