Section 4 Friends come from afar
In the evening of that day, we received a call from Chengdu (which had always been regarded as a ZQ teacher in the past, and this was also our first call. On the phone, she asked me if I had been in Xi'an recently, and I said yes. She said, "I'm going to Nanhu Primary School in Xi'an next Wednesday for a meeting,...... and when I heard this, I immediately interrupted her and said, "We're going to meet." She said on the phone, "That's right, I'm worried that you're not in Xi'an, I just want to see you." "After hanging up the phone, I was excited to meet again after more than a year of acquaintance.
Wei Mei and I met friends by chance during last year's trip to Inner Mongolia, she left a good impression on me, although I didn't pass the words this year, but through the content of her circle of friends, I got to know her better and deepened the initial good impression. She, just like when we met, was a beautiful, dedicated, fashionable and positive intelligent woman. I like such people, and I have always liked to be around beautiful and excellent people.
Therefore, I am looking forward to her arrival. The first thing that came to mind was that I was going to give her a gift. But what exactly to send, I was entangled for a while. Too light can't express my thoughts, too heavy will make the other party embarrassed. For this reason, I also consulted with friends who are far away in SH. She tried to say if it would be more appropriate to send a thicker scarf.
I didn't adopt it at the time, because I didn't know what color Wei Mei liked, but I knew that what I liked must not be what she liked. One day, I looked at her circle of friends again. I saw that she loved scarves as much as I did, and she liked bright roses, and this shade was very harmonious with her, and it was perfect for a coquettish look. I remembered seeing a rose scarf in a designer factory store the other day. Hurry to the store, glad this scarf is this one. When I bought it, I repeatedly asked the clerk if it was really an imitation. The clerk said, "It's strange, didn't you buy another brand for yourself a few days ago, why don't you have such doubts?"
In other words, in the past ten years, as long as I buy clothes in China, the first place is basically this store. Because the world's big-name clothing is processed in China, everyone "understands" the factor, several of which will stay in China, many of which are not in the Chinese market or Xi'an, and these clothes are "model clothes" as the top, and there is often only one such clothes, and all I buy are model clothes. It is not only the brand that is important, but also the excellent workmanship and texture. In recent years, there have been more trips abroad, and more clothes have been bought directly abroad, and such stores are only used as a supplement. Because of this, I am now a famous brand holder.
It's just that I used to buy skirts, and I only recently bought a French one. And the reason why I was worried about the authenticity when I bought it for my friend this time was that in this newly opened international famous brand factory store, the brand-name things were not like the foreign trade store I frequented. After the clerk showed me the authorized brand of our store, I bought it with suspicion. Besides, a lady from the back is waiting for me not to do it, and this one is indeed very suitable for Wei Mei. I put the scarf in my bag along with other gifts, and I was relieved to wait for my friends to arrive.
There was no news of her arrival in Xi'an on Wednesday, and after inquiry, she said that the school was too busy and that she would arrive on Friday. At about nine o'clock on Friday night, I received a call from Wei Mei: "The school is too busy, I changed to a plane at ten o'clock tonight, and now I am waiting at the airport." I attended a meeting on Saturday morning, had time on Saturday afternoon, and returned to Chengdu on Sunday afternoon. If I hadn't told you earlier that I was coming, I wouldn't have gotten there. Tomorrow's meeting is not for me to attend, but I want to see you. "I was very touched by her words, and I was even more moved by her actions. At this point, the plane arrived in Xi'an in the middle of the night.
Finally, on Saturday, we made an appointment to meet at her hotel at 3 p.m., and later decided to go out and play half an hour earlier.
After meeting at the main entrance of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we happily hugged each other. I haven't seen her for more than a year, and she's even more beautiful than last summer. Because, she wears a skirt and high heels. Of course, I was dressed the same. I like women to wear skirts, which makes us more feminine and feminine. I'm an out-and-out skirt controller, all year round. The beauty of wearing a skirt, today's beauty can be said to be the appearance of the flower and the moon, she is already beautiful, wearing decent light makeup, upturned eyelashes, making her beautiful eyes shining, pretty and lovely, like a beautiful scenery, I am happy to see her.
When discussing how to play, Wei Mei didn't go as long as she heard that it was a project that asked for a ticket, and the reasons were tactful. This is her high quality, obviously she doesn't want me to spend it.
Because the last time SH's friends came, they went to Muslim Street, and I felt that the place was really as good as what I saw on CCTV II. SX Celebrity Eats in One Place. Coupled with the fact that they had tickets to go up to the city walls, they decided that we would go to the city to play.
Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, and the fountain in the north square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is full of tourists, most of whom are playing around the pool. I thought it was strange when I saw the fountain open in the car when I came here just now, and I always thought that it was only at night that it started to spray, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for the show.
We decided to go into town after seeing the fountains. The waiting time is the moment when we perform and take pictures of ourselves. Wei Mei began to pose like a flower blooming by the pool, which was really beautiful and eye-catching, but her silk scarf today was a little unsatisfactory. I wanted her to take a more beautiful picture and offered to let her take out the scarf I gave her under the bag. She said, "You gave me a scarf?" and when she opened it, she said, "It's so beautiful, it goes well with my outfit today, and I love the color." "That's good, she likes it as my wish to give her a gift. Of course, she gave me a bigger bag of gifts that I liked (the bag was too heavy and it was too hard to carry and play, so I had to ask her colleague to put it back in the hotel before the fountain started). That's where we all look for what we want to give is what we like and what the person we receive the gift likes. However, when she said that the scarf was very expensive, I didn't forget my constant concern and said, "It's really hard to tell if it's really fake, I bought it at a famous brand factory store, and the price is lower than that of a luxury store." However, I knew this color was right for you, so I bought it. ”
When she put on this pink scarf, her face was like a peach.
I am more foreigner than outsiders, and I say that I accompany my friends with the friendship of landlords, but it is because of this opportunity that I also have time to see the scenery of Xi'an. The fountain of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I only came once at night when it first opened. After all these years, I didn't see anything when I passed by during the day. Therefore, it is not clear when it will open today, and the wait is more than an hour. The weather is too hot, and after a while in the sun, our faces and hands hurt, but these do not affect our mood. We started taking selfies, and in the bright light, we were able to capture the colorful light that I liked. The photo was posted on Moments, and my friend said that we were like twins. According to a friend, we really look a little alike. Haha, so happy
After waiting for more than an hour, the fountain began. It's really magnificent, flowers made of water bloom by the pool, in the square. Close the beautiful music, and the square at this time is like a grand concert, the protagonist is the water splash, and the audience is close to the poolside, watching excitedly. The first time I watched it during the day, I didn't know that I was in Xi'an after putting this wonderful moment in the circle of friends, and I didn't know that there were many people performing in the music fountain of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda during the day. At this time, I was thinking, all these years I have spent my weekends climbing the mountains, and in the past seven years, I have become familiar with the Qinling Mountains, and the rapidly developing Xi'an City has made me like a guest.
Fortunately, the walls are still there. In the evening, we climbed the city wall, and when we saw the lights in the city and the splendid bell tower, my heart was excited. At this moment, we who came in the cold autumn breeze have really traveled through the years and time. I love it here and I am happy every time I visit. The feeling of walking on the wide walls is wonderful, and it is a state of joy and calm. I love the quietness and the "King's Landing" feel here. I prefer the city wall with no end in sight, and pedestrians walk slowly, as if they have gone from ancient times to the present, and they are still the same.
Another reason why I like to come to the city wall is that it is not impregnated with the breath of modernity, so that the ancient times are presented here, telling us that the period from the long river of time, this time. Now that there are bicycles on the castle walls, there are also bicycles for sightseeing, which may be a way to keep up with the times, and I think this is also feasible after detailed demonstration. However, I'm glad I didn't see anything other than tourists on it today.
Walking from the south gate to Muslim Street, I once again found that there were many fewer people in the city than outside the city, and my friends felt the same way. Without the crowds and traffic jams, the ancient city has the appearance. This reminds me of the sentence I saw at the Mid-Autumn Festival party: "A city of culture and half a city of immortals." "I think the ancient city of Xi'an is still quite beautiful.
The Muslim Street is still brightly lit with shops and tourists. It's a pity that friends in Chengdu don't eat beef and mutton. Actually, I don't eat mutton and pork, I only eat beef and seafood, and I don't eat chicken. We had to take a trip and eat yellow rice cakes and my favorite yellow cinnamon persimmon cake. I wanted to share a beef and steamed bun, but I was too embarrassed to eat it again, otherwise it would be as if it would be so that I could eat well, and it would not look good.
I decided to take my friends to eat Fan Ji's meat and buns, which is pork. Then go to the bell tower to eat another famous food in Xi'an, the dumpling banquet of Defa Chang.
Since I rarely go into the city, I found out that the nearest meat and steamed bun shop to Muslim Street is on West Street, 800 meters away. I decided to eat the dumpling banquet first, and then eat meat and steamed buns after returning to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I know the location of that shop.
What I didn't expect was that Wei Mei and her colleagues resolutely refused to eat the dumpling banquet after seeing the price, and said in unison, "The cheapest is 128 yuan per person, and there is so much money to eat for a meal. Just eat 18 yuan a plate of dumplings. "When I ordered, I only ordered one with the lowest price, and said that the dish called "earth-shattering" on the table was superficial, so I didn't eat it.
Seeing my friend like this, I was overwhelmed for a while, and I walked so far just to eat an ordinary dumpling?
It is also through this incident that it is once again proved that Wei Mei's simplicity and high quality, we are all the same people. There is a reason why I must take her to eat Xi'an's representative food this time. A few years ago, I received another out-of-town friend. In the way I've always hosted people, the important people are at home, and the rest eats at our school's two hotels. The hotel of the school was originally our school to receive visitors, and the grade is no worse than the hotel outside, and because the school is not open to the public, the quality is assured. This friend invited her to these two hotels separately, and she actually asked me, "Don't you have a big hotel in Xi'an?"
It was also from that time on, everyone who ate on campus was polite, and the etiquette was outside or uninvited, and it was difficult to go back and let an outsider dominate.
As for Wei Mei, the reason why I brought her to the snack street is that I really hope that she can eat well, and she is an outsider. It's just that I didn't expect that Mr. Wei is really a person like me, we are the same unpretentious, real people, and honest friends. Compared with the friend who also met on the road, the difference between the two is too far......
This meal cost less than 150 yuan, and I was very uneasy to eat. After returning to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I felt that I was too full to eat meat and steamed buns, which made me feel very regretful.
From meeting at half past two to saying goodbye at half past nine, the seven-hour reunion, just as Wei Mei said, "If you are unhappy, it depends on who you spend time with." "She and I are very happy. As she said, "We met by chance on the grassland, and I didn't expect that we would meet again a year later, which is really a rare fate." ”
Indeed, if a year ago we met by chance on the grassland, there was no deeper impression, but this year, through our circle of friends, we have a deeper understanding of each other, and we appreciate each other more, and there is today's Xi'an reunion.
Here's wishing Wei Mei, blooming all the way, always in the flower season, being a beautiful woman, being a person who is consistent with teachers and spreads positive energy.
