At six o'clock, I walked out of the South Bus Station empty-handed, and I didn't look like I had traveled far at all. I stood at the door of "Auspicious Wonton" and sent a location to Yang Qu on WeChat, and then began to wait patiently......

Within five minutes, I saw the Wrangler on the other side of the street, and Yang Qu spotted me at the same time, opening the window and waving to me. At this time, Jin Qiu also avoided the car behind and stopped beside me.

At this moment, my mood was relaxed, and after getting in the car, I took the initiative to ask Jin Qiu: "Look at the way you look like you have to see me, what kind of surprise do you want to give me?" ”

Yang Qu magically took out a few very beautiful handbags from behind him, and then handed them to me and said: "This afternoon, I went to the mall with Sister Jin Qiu, and she even knows the size of your feet, so there is a pair of gi leather shoes and two sets of formal clothes, all of which are for you to wear for the New Year...... Isn't it fun? ”

I took it from Yang Qu's hands, and I didn't refuse, because I bought these things, and if I didn't want them, it would be wasted, after all, she bought them according to my size. I think it's time to give her something when I have the chance, because friends come and go.

I said to Yang Qu: Happy, so happy, but this is the surprise you want to give me? ”

"It's a small surprise, but at most it's an appetizer, and there's a bigger surprise (surprise) later, which will definitely satisfy the hearts of the little citizens you love to take advantage of, so you just wait to be moved to tears."

I muttered, "It can't be a car, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's still a Maybach, does it have a sense of accomplishment that has reached the pinnacle of life?"

I looked at Yang Qu in disbelief. At this time, Jin Qiu, who had never spoken, took over and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I can't afford to send any Maybach." ”

Yang Qu complained to Jin Qiu again: "Sister Jin Qiu, the worst thing about you is that you are too straightforward to my brother, let's hang his appetite first, anyway, he loves fantasy so much!" ”

"You have a bad appetite! …… He didn't necessarily like that thing, after all, he used to be a guy who could drive a van for fun. ”

Yang Quman replied nonchalantly: "Life is to have a span between Wuling Hongguang and Maybach to be exciting...... Right, brother? ”

In the face of Yang Qu's ridicule, I glared back and said, "If you can't see Maybach later, I'll sell you ...... Let you run the train with your mouth full all day long! ”

Yang Qu had a grinning expression on his face, and then said, "Look at you, aren't you a little crazy?" Even if you are addicted to selling things, now you are starting to think about human trafficking, which is a crime! You'd better realize your mistake before we get to Tulip Road, or don't blame me for killing my relatives...... Uncle police likes to arrest a lewd uncle like you the most! ”

Looking at me and Yang Qu who were arguing all the way, Jin Qiu's mood seemed to have become good, and then followed me to beat Yang Qu, who called herself a beautiful girl, until she stopped...... And by this time we have also arrived at Tulip Road.

……

The location of the "Wutong Hotel" was booked in advance by Yang Qu and Jinqiu, so we sat in the floor-to-ceiling window where we could see the new tulip scene, which was also the best location of the entire "Wutong Hotel".

During the meal, we didn't say a word about the past, but we kept looking forward to the future of the "dream tree", and beer and hot pot were the best accessories, so I never got bored in this deep night. When I talk about happiness, I even use my hands and feet to express my inner thoughts.

Time seemed to fly by in this relaxed atmosphere, and soon it was half past nine in the evening. It's another time of the city's greatest turmoil, and for some, the nightlife is just beginning.

I drank the last glass of beer, and then said to Jin Qiu: "Hurry up, what's the surprise, I'm tired this day, I have to go back to the hotel to sleep." ”

Jin Qiu handed the car keys to Yang Qu, who had not been drinking, and she said to me: "Don't rush back yet, you have to go with us again, that surprise is where we will go later." ”

……

In order to create an atmosphere of surprise, Yang Qu refused to tell me where he was going. Gradually, I really had a sense of anticipation, but when I thought about it, there was nothing I particularly wanted to get.

About 20 minutes, Yang Qu drove the car to the West Gate of Zhonghua, and after finding a temporary parking space, the three of them got out of the car together.

Yang Qu began to stir up the atmosphere again, she actually handed me an eye patch, and then instigated Jin Qiu to go left and right with her, as if helping a blind man to walk in the direction of the north.

As I walked, I shouted: "This is about to reach the city gate, I am an old Nanjing, you two don't talk about blindfolding me, even if you put my whole person in a sack, I know where to go." ”

Yang Qu sighed: "Yes, why didn't I think of putting a sack on you just now, I think it will be more interesting, haha...... At the very least, there will be a 100% return rate! ”

Jin Qiu also echoed her and smiled, it seemed that this night, the three of them had never been unhappy together.

It seemed that after walking through an alley, Yang Qu finally took off the blindfold on my face, she spread her hands, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Surprise, surprise, big surprise...... Brother, does all this in front of you have a sense of déjà vu? ”

I glanced at the past and realized that I was in the second and fourth alleys of the hexagonal well, an old alley that was even older than the old alley, but the layout of the two and four alleys and the humanistic spirit displayed in the alley were similar to the one on Tulip Road. It's just that it is more fortunate than the old alley, because it is next to the Zhonghua Gate, and it has long been regarded as a cultural heritage. Therefore, this place will only be constantly repaired, and it will never be demolished.

In my astonished gaze, Jin Qiu took out a key from his bag and broke the iron lock on the wooden door in front of us. In an instant, my vision was deeply moved......

In the courtyard in front of me, there are also painted walls, and a large stone table, and the flower pond near the stone table is full of all kinds of flower pots, plus the somewhat old house, it seems to be a copy of the old house......

At this moment, I was indeed surprised and delighted! Because this place is so dreamy, although it is not an old alley, it gives me all the feeling that the old alley can give, and I even doubt that it is really a dream...... Because, after returning from Yangzhou, everything seems too beautiful and illusory!

I stammered and asked, "What's this......?" How did you find this place? ”

Yang Qu looked at Jin Qiu beside him, and hurriedly replied: "This time you really have to thank Sister Jin Qiu, before she returned to Nanjing, she asked her friends who live here in Zhonghua Gate to help inquire, if it wasn't for inquiring in advance, she might not really be able to find this house...... This place used to be lived by a painter, but he was going to develop abroad, so he planned to rent this house for a long time...... It wasn't until this afternoon that Sister Jin Qiu negotiated with him about renting a house, the lease period is one year, and you don't have to go to a small hotel when you go back to Nanjing in the future, it is more like your former home than anywhere else. ”

I walked around the yard, then stood under the osmanthus tree next to the stone table, looked at Jin Qiu with gratitude and said, "Thank you very much, this is a surprise I can't refuse!" ”

Jin Qiu smiled lightly and replied, "Before, I was afraid that you would refuse, but seeing that you like it so much, I was relieved...... I hope you can sleep well tonight, the bedding inside is all new that Yang Qu and I went to the mall to buy, and the toiletries are also available, you can ......sleep with peace of mind," she said, she looked at the watch on her wrist, and said: "It's not too early, you rest early, Yang Qu and I will leave first...... Before leaving, I would like to remind you not to smoke too much because you are in love, because nothing is more important than health. ”

I nodded, signaling that I could smoke less, or even no cigarettes.

Jin Qiu got my response, and then made an OK gesture and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yang Qu.

Yang Qu, who refused to leave, said to me: "Brother, your gratitude in a few words is too insincere!" …… Although some people don't say too many pretty things, and even seem a little cold and ruthless, they are more attentive to you in their hearts than anyone else...... I don't know if you standing in front of us at this moment are a little touched in your heart, but I really have ...... Because, this kind of way of being kind to people is the most unflattering, but it is also the most practical ......"

I was so stunned that I didn't speak for a long time. I know that the reason why Jin Qiu wants to go so lightly is to not burden me, but Yang Qu is a spoiler, and she embarrassed me and Jin Qiu. Because we all know that I don't have the ability to give back to Jin Qiu with my heart...... Because she doesn't seem to lack anything...... The only thing I can do is to make a good pair with her next year, and we will work together to make a dream tree...... Create a better life together. ”

I finally said to Yang Qu: "I will keep these good things in my heart, and I will try to repay them in the future." ”

"You have a bit of a conscience."

After saying this, Yang Qu's expression suddenly became entangled again, and she seemed to be weighing something. After a while, she said to me again: "Brother, I still have a gift for you that even Sister Jin Qiu doesn't know...... No, to be exact...... It was given to you by our mother...... But I'm a little afraid that if you don't want it, you'll scold me...... After all, your temper stinks! …… However, I also want to say a few words in advance...... You are really a very capable man, and your success today seems to be accidental but inevitable, because you do not rely on a certain person, but the hearts and minds of the people you get after your sincere dedication...... Well, I'm just saying this in the hope that you'll be comfortable accepting this gift...... Just like most children will ask their parents for it, accept this gift from their mother...... All right? ”
