Chapter 91: Christmas Eve

"Honey, what are you busy with?", Bai Xue's voice came from the phone.

"Staying in the rental house to make games, our baby misses me?" Jiang Hui said.

"Well, what day is today, you don't give yourself a holiday?", Bai Xue said.

"What day, nothing special," Jiang Hui said with some confusion.

"Stupid, it's Christmas Eve, won't you spend it with me?" Bai Xue said.

Hearing Bai Xue's words, Jiang Hui reacted, tomorrow is December 25th, it is Christmas in the West, and the night before Christmas is "Christmas Eve".

In fact, Jiang Hui didn't have much interest in foreign festivals, but with the development of the diversified and open era, "foreign festivals" such as Valentine's Day and Christmas gradually became popular in the Celestial Empire, especially among students. On the one hand, the popularity of "foreign festivals" among the people of the Celestial Empire proves the breadth and depth of the economic, social and cultural openness and development of the Celestial Empire, and on the other hand, under the influence of multiple value trends, it has also had a certain impact on the traditional festival culture of the Celestial Empire. Jiang Hui is still a bit of a traditional person in essence, and he is actually not very interested in foreign festivals in his heart, but he can't stand the girl's liking, so let's just pass.

"Ah, time flies so fast, 2003 is almost over, I'm a little too busy and dizzy, I lose track of time. Where are you? I'll come looking for you," Jiang Hui said.

Since the launch of the school online, Jiang Hui has been spending less and less time with Bai Xue, on the one hand, he is really busy enough, and on the other hand, after the school is online, the rental house has become more and more lively, and there are often Zhu Zhengfeng, Li Shigui and others staying overnight, so Bai Xue has come a lot less, and sometimes Jiang Hui and Bai Xue only meet in two or three days. But fortunately, Bai Xue also understood Jiang Hui, so she didn't lose her temper.

It was precisely because Bai Xue was too sensible that Jiang Hui felt that he had not done enough during this time, and he couldn't stand her.

"I'm in the dormitory, so call me when you get downstairs, and I'll come down right away," Bai Xue said.

"Okay, baby, I'll be here soon," Jiang Hui said.

Putting down the phone, Jiang Hui said hello to Zhu Zhengfeng and went out to find Bai Xue.

The temperature has dropped to around freezing, and it doesn't feel cold when there is heating in the house, but when you come out and stay outside for a long time, you will feel numb in your hands and feet.

Bai Xue is wearing a beige coat today, with straight-leg jeans and boots, a white scarf around her, a ball hair, and a bag given by Jiang Hui on the National Day.

"I haven't seen each other for a few days, but our baby is beautiful again," Jiang Hui said.

"What's the matter, people are a lot bloated in so many clothes," Bai Xue said coquettishly.

"Hehe, it's true that wearing so many clothes doesn't look as good as when you don't wear them," Jiang Hui said with a wicked smile.

"Hooligans, I don't know what to do all day long," Bai Xuejiao said angrily, and then took Jiang Hui's arm, and the two of them walked forward.

"Where do you want to go in a while?, I'm responsible for eating, drinking, playing and sleeping together," Jiang Hui said.

"Let's go to Xidan, we haven't been there yet, and we used to be around the school," Bai Xue said.

"Okay, it's four o'clock, it's almost five o'clock, and then we'll take you to eat something delicious in two hours," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, have you discovered any new places to eat?" Bai Xue said.

"I heard from Lu Yang that the roast duck in the cheap shop is very good, although the reputation is not as big as Quanjude, but the taste is not worse than it at all, let's try it tonight," Jiang Hui said.

……

Xidan got its name from the Xidan archway commonly known as the old imperial capital. Xidan is centered on the intersection of Xidan Road, and there are many commercial facilities along Xidan Cultural Square and Xidan North Street. Xidan's business focuses on youth and fashion elements, so it attracts more local young people in the imperial capital to go for leisure and shopping, and has the reputation of "young people's shopping paradise".

Although Xidan's reputation is very loud, Jiang Hui really hasn't accompanied Bai Xue before, knowing that it's a girl's nature to like shopping, Jiang Hui hasn't accompanied Bai Xue to go shopping a few times, and this boyfriend is really unqualified.

Tomorrow is Christmas, Xidan Street business district everywhere reveals a strong festive atmosphere, Christmas trees can be seen everywhere, Bai Xue saw these ornaments, very excited, if you have a smart phone, it is very convenient to take a photo and send a circle of friends, now there is no way, it seems to consider buying a digital camera, record the bits and pieces of life.

To say that Christmas, Valentine's Day and other foreign festivals can be so popular, these businesses have played a lot of role in fueling the fire, every festival will carry out a variety of promotional activities, the festive atmosphere is very good.

Xidan Commercial Street is not full of high-rise buildings like the CBD area, it is a fusion of modern and classical. The history of Xidan Commercial Street can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, this was the main intersection leading to Guang'anmen in the southwest of the imperial capital, and the business travels and goods from the southwest provinces by land had to enter the outer city of Guang'anmen from the east from the Lugou Bridge, enter the inner city Xuanwumen to the north through the Caishikou, and enter the inner city through Xidan. To this end, a number of shops, liquor stores and restaurants have been opened in the western single area to entertain passing tourists. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the procurement of Dali Temple, Taifu Temple, Taichang Temple, Criminal Department, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Luan Yiwei and other government offices near West Chang'an Street was mainly based on Xidan, which promoted the commercial development here.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Manchu aristocracy mostly lived in the northwest city, and many institutions of the Beiyang government and the Kuomintang government were also set up near Xicheng.

Therefore, in fact, Xidan is not only a place to go shopping, it is also a tourist attraction, rich in history, and many tourists who come to the imperial capital from other places will go to Xidan to take a turn.

Thinking about buying a digital camera just now, Jiang Hui took Bai Xue to Canon's store first, and after buying it, it was just enough to record today's beautiful scenery.

The pixels of digital cameras in these years are not very high, and any mid-range smartphone in the future will have a much higher pixel than it, but there is no way, and now it can only be used.

The two of them looked at a few models, and Bai Xue originally wanted to go to a few stores such as Sony and Nikon next to him to compare and compare and see which one to buy, Jiang Hui felt that it was not necessary, the current camera is just like that, and most of the mainstream brands are Japanese, so you can buy it directly if the price is almost the same.

"Baby, mention that I wish you a Merry Christmas", after paying the bill, Jiang Hui gave the camera to Bai Xue and said.
