After that, I went to a stall at the night market in front of the station and bought a pair of small cloth shoes for Jiang Xiaohan, and planned to take a taxi to take her home. But Jiang Xiaohan kept evading it, and he didn't know what she was thinking. At that time, I was quite strong and even a bit chauvinistic, which is incredible when I think about it now. Anyway, at my insistence, I hailed a taxi and sent him to my door. After getting out of the car, I realized why the other party refused to let me take her home. It turns out that her family lives in an old building that is more than 20 years old (I won¡¯t tell you the specific address). To describe it in three words: dirty, messy, and poor! No matter how attentive I was after that, the other party wouldn¡¯t let me give her a gift anymore. So I had to watch Jiang Xiaohan limping away. It can be said that her home is not far from the wedding shop in Dongsi Community where I am, and it only takes ten minutes to walk. And after that incident, Jiang Xiaohan began to come to my store often. Sometimes when I sit down to close the shop, we will go out to pave the road together. After walking to the Confucian Temple Garden, we will also have a bowl of Malatang or other roadside snacks. I don¡¯t know if the time I spent with her was considered a relationship. After all, I had not yet come out of the shadow of separation from Nan Nan at that time. I can only say that it was good to have someone of the opposite sex with me at the same age. The days are really not helpful. More than three months passed. That night I received a text message from her before going to bed, saying that she had a birthday the next day. So I persisted until after twelve o'clock, sent a message to the other party, wishing the other party a happy birthday, and then I fell asleep. I don¡¯t know why, but I felt particularly irritable that night. I thought about the days when I got along with Nannan. Every year on her birthday, I would give her a piece of jewelry as a birthday gift. Every time I think about this, I feel like I¡¯m with thousands of people in my heart. It felt like a needle was pricking me, it was very heart-wrenching and uncomfortable. The more I thought about it, the more entangled I became, so I simply climbed out of bed, put on some clothes, lit a cigarette, and looked at the lonely street on the road downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling glass on the second floor. The more I looked at it, the sadder I became. Before eight o'clock the next day, I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China with my bank card to withdraw several thousand yuan in cash. Then I went to a gold store near New Century to buy a pair of gold earrings, which I planned to give to Jiang Xiaohan as a birthday gift. . The old man often said: "To be courteous for nothing is to commit adultery or to steal." But for me at that time, I really didn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Xiaohan, but I just felt the sincere feelings for Nan Nan, the love I once had. The memories are placed on Jiang Xiaohan, nothing more. Since I also knew that the other party was very knowledgeable about flowers, I went to a friend's flower wholesale shop and made a large bouquet of flowers using pink tulips and Kunming roses. Then I called Jiang Xiaohan, agreed on a meeting place, and took a taxi there. . We met each other at the stone monument in Confucian Temple Park. Jiang Xiaohan looked particularly happy when she received the flowers, just like Nannan's expression every time she accepted a gift from me. Later, when I took out the gold earrings and gave them to her, I found Jiang Xiaohan staring blankly at the gift in my hand. "What's wrong?" I was a little surprised, "Noit's nothing. Thank you, Jia Shu. This is the first time someone has given me such an expensive gift on my birthday." Jiang Xiaohan replied excitedly. "Then should I help you put it on, or should you go home and put it on yourself?" The other party didn't bring any bag, and the box containing the earrings was a bit big, so I could only ask for his opinion. "Put it on for me." Jiang Xiaohan looked very happy at this time, with a warm smile on his young face. But after I finished wearing it on the other person, Jiang Xiaohan's eyes rolled up, seemingly thinking about something. "What are you thinking about, so entranced?" I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of the other person's eyes, and Jiang Xiaohan finally woke up from a dream, "Jia Shu, this gift is too expensive. I don't know what to give you when it's your birthday." "To you?" "Silly girl, don't you know that giving is better than receiving? Besides, I never thought that gifts need to be exchanged, as long as you can be happy." I'm telling the truth. It's just that the attachment to Nan Nan was transferred to Jiang Xiaohan, and the other party was really overly concerned. "But you have always invited me to dinner, and I have never invited you. My wife gave me such an expensive gift in my lifetime, and I" Jiang Xiaohan's embarrassed answer made me feel a little puzzled. "Oh, it didn't cost much in total, so don't follow Tang Seng's example of grinding and grinding." After saying that, I rested my chin on my hand and thought for a while, then asked, "Where are you going to spend your time next?" "Birthday?" "Then you go shopping with me today." "Okay, there's nothing to do today, so I'll risk my life to accompany you." I said half-jokingly, "Okay!" My hand, thenThe two began to stroll aimlessly. That day, I walked from about nine o'clock in the morning to about four o'clock in the afternoon. I really admire this girl's endurance. We both walked to almost every large shopping mall in the city. And she often just goes shopping but doesn't buy anything. Even if she stares at a piece of clothing for a long time, when I offer to buy it for her, she takes my hand and quickly leaves the place. I wanted to treat her to a nice meal at noon, but she refused. I really don't understand what is going on in her little head. By about 4:30 in the afternoon, I really couldn¡¯t walk anymore. My stomach was growling with hunger, and my feet were in unbearable pain, especially my heels. They probably had blisters. It hurt so much when I walked. I really regret that I had to wear leather shoes for Mao when I went out. If I had known that he could walk so well, I would have definitely changed to a pair of traveling shoes. "Xiaohan, I'm really hungry. Why don't we eat something first and then let's go!" I said to the other party almost pleadingly, and then squatted on the ground angrily, waiting for the other party's answer. "Be good, let's go have dinner now, okay?" Jiang Xiaohan didn't realize until this moment that she was enjoying herself walking alone, but ignored my feelings. I thought the other party would treat me to a fancy restaurant for a big meal, but Jiang Xiaohan chose a very inconspicuous food stall in Hanlinfu Market and ordered two bowls of fried noodles to fool me. But I was really hungry and didn¡¯t bother to argue with him. After finishing two bowls of fried noodles by myself, I drank another bottle and a half of mineral water, burped happily, and resurrected on the spot with full blood and demons. After lighting up a cigarette, I puffed out a puff of smoke and asked Jiang Xiaohan, "I'll take you home later?" The other party stopped his chopsticks, then smiled at me mysteriously, "I'll give you a gift later too. " to be continued
