Just like last year, the year before, or even earlier? For a mere three-week vacation each year, they repeatedly cross the English Channel to come to Provence. The sky is a brilliant blue, without a single cloud. The sun remains bright, pouring down in large patches onto the vineyards, like a canvas once sketched by Picasso. They measure the land with their feet in a leisurely manner. The sun moves westward at an imperceptible, slow pace. The golden sunset lightly brushes past the corner of the wall, which is a stone-built house that began construction in the early 18th century. It has an irregular three-story shape, with a dirt path in front leading through cherry and grape orchards, and a small courtyard behind, enclosed by a fence. Old trees cast shadows, flowers fill the garden, and half-open wooden shutters, under the afternoon sun, invite them to rest. They must have seen the house at the same time and noticed the for-sale sign hanging in front. They stopped, glanced at each other, and at that moment, the British couple, the Meers, made their decision. Everyone has their own wishes. Peter Meer's wish was to live in seclusion in Provence, enjoying the sunshine, good wine, delicious food, a carefree mood, and a well-lived life. Provence, located in the south of France, is hot in summer and cold in winter, but the abundant sunshine and delicious cuisine have become a lasting longing in the hearts of the British across the sea. Every summer, hundreds of thousands of British people cross the sea, letting the sunshine of Provence dispel the fog of the "City of Fog." Then, the short vacation flies by, and they are forced to reluctantly return to their daily lives. Sun Ganlu believes that life can be a long vacation. When Peter Meer visited Provence for the nth time, he saw that old house and found a home. He bought the house, quit his high-ranking position as a senior executive at a world-renowned advertising company, and moved there.
