Chapter 15: A Chance Encounter at the Flower Market
Ji Xiaoxi was the first to come to the dormitory, and after the dormitory was all cleaned, he was going to go to a nearby flower market to buy some flowers.
Ji Xiaoxi likes those delicate flowers very much, although they may be kept for a short time, but the moments they stay in this world are wonderful.
Just as Ji Xiaoxi was about to go to the flower market, her mobile phone rang.
If you look closely, the caller ID shows Xue Qing, this is Ji Xiaoxi's best friend, and she is also one of Ji Xiaoxi's roommates.
As soon as the phone was connected, Xue Qing's lively voice came.
"Hee-hee, what are you doing?"
Xue Qing is not like others, calling Ji Xiaoxi "Xiaoxi" but "Xixi", Xue Qing once told Ji Xiaoxi that she felt that the two would be more cordial than others, so she liked the title "Xixi".
Xue Qing had been on vacation with her family abroad some time ago, so she didn't know what happened to Ji Xiaoxi, and Ji Xiaoxi didn't even tell her the fact that she was married.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoxi felt a little headache, if Xue Qing knew that she was married in such a daze, she would probably be so angry that she wanted to beat her.
But I can't take care of so much now, so let's prevaricate what is in front of me first.
Ji Xiaoxi said to Xue Qing: "I'm in the dormitory, I just cleaned up, when are you coming?"
"I'll go back tomorrow, I don't have a class tomorrow, and I'll sleep at home for another night. ”
Xue Qing and Ji Xiaoxi are not the same major, she is a computer major, Ji Xiaoxi is a mathematics department, and the courses of the computer major are relatively few compared to the mathematics department.
"Okay, then you'll come back tomorrow. Ji Xiaoxi said softly.
"By the way, I'm going to go to the flower market now, is it convenient for you?
Ji Xiaoxi thought that Xue Qing usually loved to buy flowers as much as her, so she also wanted to call Xue Qing to go with her.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that he was going to buy flowers, Xue Qing suddenly became energetic.
"Buy flowers, then of course I'll go, and we'll see you at the gate of the flower market in a moment. ”
After a while, the girl who had not seen her for nearly two months met at the gate of the flower market.
"How do I think you're skinny again. Xue Qing pinched Ji Xiaoxi's cheek, and said with some envy: "You see that your little face is almost gone." ”
Xue Qing is the kind of little girl with a little baby fat, and her face is a little fleshy, so she has always been very envious of Ji Xiaoxi's figure and face.
Ji Xiaoxi can't say it, he has experienced so many things during this time, he is physically and mentally exhausted, and it is normal to lose a little weight.
But she knew that she couldn't tell Xue Qing the truth of the matter directly, otherwise Xue Qing would be very worried.
would even run to Ji's house to ask Ji Guorong why he married Ji Xiaoxi in such a daze.
With such a friend in his life, Ji Xiaoxi feels that he is satisfied.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm thinking about how to lose weight during the summer vacation. , Ji Xiaoxi said to Xue Qing with a smile.
"Oh my God, you're still losing weight, look at how thin you've been, look at me again. Hey, I think I've gained a little weight this summer, and my dad still lets me eat every day, why isn't he worried that I won't find a boyfriend in the future?"
Xue Qing was muttering and complaining in her mouth, but she didn't know how much Ji Xiaoxi envied her, envied that she had a father and mother who loved him, and that she had a happy family.
The two of them went shopping in the flower market, and for these two little girls, shopping in the flower market seemed to be more interesting than buying new clothes
Flowers are alive, especially when they bring joy to people, and at that moment the value of flowers can no longer be measured in terms of money
Just when Ji Xiaoxi took a fancy to a tulip and wanted to buy it, a delicate voice appeared in her ears.
"Sister, do you want to buy flowers?"
Ji Xiaoxi looked down at the little girl who was pulling the corners of her clothes, she looked very thin and seemed to be a little malnourished.
Ji Xiaoxi squatted on the ground and looked at the little girl, she stroked the top of the little girl's head, and then said gently: "Are you selling flowers?"
The little girl nodded and shook her head, and said softly: "My grandma is selling flowers, I just saw my sister buying flowers, and I wanted to ask my sister if she wanted to go to grandma to buy them, grandma's flowers are big, beautiful and cheap." ”
Ji Xiaoxi and Xue Qing followed the little girl to her grandmother's flower shop.
This flower shop is in a small corner of the flower market, the house is very small, maybe just two square meters and the little girl's grandmother is sitting on a deck chair.
After Ji Xiaoxi and Xue Qing entered the flower shop, they found that the little girl's grandmother couldn't speak, so she could only gesture with people.
Grandma was very happy to see Ji Xiaoxi and Xue Qing coming to the flower shop, it hasn't opened today, and finally a guest came, so she sent two carnations to Ji Xiaoxi and Xue Qing first.
The little girl hurriedly explained: "Sister, this is a gift from grandma to the two of you, even if you don't buy it, it doesn't matter, grandma said that it is fate to be able to enter the flower shop." ”
"Little friend, where are your parents?" asked Ji Xiaoxi carefully.
The little girl shook her head: "I don't know either, it seems that I don't have parents at all." ”
"Then did you go to school?" Xue Qing hurriedly asked.
"I was in school, I was in the first grade of elementary school, and I was in a nearby school, and my aunt from the neighborhood committee took me to school. ”
The little girl's voice made Ji Xiaoxi and Xue Xue's eyes moisten a little.
Ji Xiaoxi took out all the cash in the wallet, and then handed it to the little girl's grandmother.
The child's grandmother kept shirking, saying that she didn't want the money, and because she couldn't speak, she couldn't explain anything, but she kept saying that she didn't accept the money.
Seeing Ji Xiaoxi's actions, the children hurriedly said, "Sister, I asked you to come here to buy flowers, not to let you give money." The teacher is right, you must know that only the money earned through labor is valuable, and you can't accept help from others at will. ”
When the grandmother heard the child's words, she quickly nodded, which meant that she and the child thought the same.
Ji Xiaoxi thought for a while, and then said to her grandmother: "Grandma, I think this shop is too small, I happen to have plans to open a flower shop recently, can you take the two children to help me open a flower shop, and I will pay you a salary." ”
Ji Xiaoxi felt that this small flower shop of two or three square meters really couldn't let the grandparents live a good life. Because she found that the chaise longue seemed to be not only a chair, but also a bed for her grandparents and grandchildren.
Since the two of them are not willing to accept the help of others at will, it is better to pay for them to open a flower shop, anyway, they also like to raise flowers, so that grandma can live in the flower shop with the children, and help them look after the shop by the way.
Ji Xiaoxi planned to surprise Xue Qing a little, she knew that Ji Xiaoxi was kind, but just to help others open a flower shop, is it a bit exaggerated?
Xue Qing has been staring at Ji Xiaoxi, but Ji Xiaoxi has been staring at her grandmother as if she didn't see it: "Take care of your body, take good care of the children, and I will come to pick you up after a while." ”
