"Jieyou Grocery Shop" is a long suspense novel written by Japanese writer Keigo Dongno. There are no crimes and no detectives in this work. It is a work with the theme of ties between people. People cannot live alone, but must support each other to survive.
The worry relieving grocery store tells about a grocery store beside a secluded street, Langya grocery store. In this grocery store, if you write down the letter box at the rolling shutter door in front of the store, you will get an answer in the milk box behind the store the next day. What's more strange is that Langya grocery store is not open, but it can travel through time and space for 30 years. People sent letters 30 years ago, and people can reply in this grocery store 30 years later.
At the beginning of the story, the three thieves' cars broke down due to power failure, and they had to avoid the abandoned grocery store before dawn. They accidentally saw a letter from the past in the dilapidated milk box in the store. It turns out that this grocery store was a grocery store that helped people solve their troubles more than 30 years ago. In his later years, frustrated owner Lang Ya found the feeling of being needed again because of the letters for help. After the shopkeeper's death, letters and business meetings came to the hands of the three thieves, and the feeling of being trusted and needed was something they had not felt for a long time. Therefore, the three thieves began to write and reply letters in the name of "Langya Grocery Store" - many wrong words were written, and the tone was not civilized and very rude, But like Grandpa Langya, they sincerely treat these letters and the people who wrote them. The owner of Langya shop and the thief trio tried their best to solve problems for letter writing consultants, and also got a sense of existence more valuable than money in their earnest replies.
One of the words that impressed me deeply in the article is that the owner of Langya once said to his son, "Many times, the consultant has already had the answer in his mind, and only wants to confirm whether his decision is right."
When you are hesitant to do something, in fact, you already have your own decision and determination in your heart, but you have no sufficient reason to convince yourself whether it is right to do so. Or you just fear that the consequences will be different from your original expectations.
What's more, the words of the owner of Langya Store mentioned many times in the article are actually "how can we relieve our worries? Only ourselves", or the author wants to explain the importance of disclosure, or the importance of "enlightening" or "providing timely assistance" at the critical moment.
There is another saying, "A map is a piece of white paper, which is of course very troublesome, and anyone will be at a loss. But from another perspective, it is a piece of white paper that allows you to paint the map as you wish. Everything is all in yourself, everything is free, and there is infinite possibility in front of you." This is Grandpa Langya's final reply to a consultation letter, It is a letter to the three successors in the future, that is, the three thieves.
