Chapter 35: Happy Shopping
Wu Xiaojun grinded, looked at Qin Meixiang and said with a wry smile, "Look at what my feet are doing, what is there to see, it's not a woman's three-inch golden lotus, it stinks, it smells bad, I am very worried about smoking you, a jade girl." ”
Qin Meixiang looked domineering, "What stinks or not, Miss Ben is not afraid, I just want to see, take it off quickly, if you don't take it off, I'll take it off." ”
Wu Xiaojun saw that he couldn't escape, so he had to say obediently, "Don't mind, don't mind, don't do it, I can't take it off, but you must not laugh at me." With that, he gently took off his socks.
Qin Meixiangxing's eyes widened, and she stared at Wu Xiaojun tightly, "As long as you take it off, you will definitely not laugh." ”
Qin Meixiang bent down and looked carefully, only to see that the heels and sides of the two feet were already red, swollen and purple, and there were many blisters, so she stretched out her right hand and touched it gently, Wu Xiaojun suddenly retracted his feet as if he had been shocked by direct current, his face was red to the base of his neck, and he said incoherently, "Don't touch, don't touch, how can you deign your slender hand to hit my dirty, smelly and hard bad feet, I really can't bear it, I really can't bear it." ”
Qin Meixiang was stunned for a moment, "This is frostbitten, red like a pig's claw." It's all like this, still pretending that nothing happened, how long has it been, is it very painful, is it uncomfortable to walk usually? ”
Wu Xiaojun's heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and he said nervously, "It's still the same problem that I fell when I was a child before, it will be like this every winter, I get used to it, I really don't feel anything, it's just a little itchy and hard occasionally, it's okay, it doesn't affect walking." ”
"You are really good enough, let me say what is good about you, your feet have been frozen like this, have you been holding on like this, there are people like you, no matter how much you don't buy a pair of cotton shoes, and you are not a child, you don't know how to feel distressed and take care of yourself when you go out."
"It's really nothing, it doesn't affect eating and drinking, you can do whatever you have to do, and I never cared."
"Since it's already like this, it's very uncomfortable to talk about you, I won't talk about you anymore, no matter what, you can't go on like this, why suffer this foreign sin, hurry up and put it on." Let's go out for some dinner in a while, and then go shopping and see the scenery. ”
Wu Xiaojun cleaned up Yiqiē, and the two walked out of the living area and went to a nearby donkey soup restaurant to ask for two bowls of soup and pancakes. Qin Meixiang was particularly curious, and praised repeatedly, "Xiaojun, I have never eaten Chinese food in Xiangzhou, and today is the first time to drink this soup, it tastes quite delicious, it is really delicious." ”
In fact, the local people generally like to drink soup in the morning, put the cake in the bowl, and used to call it steamed bun, which is convenient and trouble-free, economical, and nourishing the body, so there are many types of soup, there are beef soup, mutton soup, donkey soup, tofu soup, meatball soup, etc., which is also a special snack here. I wasn't used to it when I first arrived, but now it's a daily routine. How about having a chance to let you taste more in the future. ”
"Okay, in the future, you will not only know how to drink, but also learn to make it, and I am ready to drink the food you made for me often."
"If you give me a chance, I'll do it. However, in order to make you a soup, I don't want to buy a donkey and kill it. ”
"It's out of tune when you're talking and talking, you're metaphorically saying that I'm not even worth a donkey. If it's your sweetheart, I wonder if you have the heart to cut off a piece of meat for him to eat? ”
"Hahaha, you, you, you're a little simple, it's really unforgiving, you can't eat at all, don't tell you about donkeys. Do you want to go to the nearest street or enjoy the winter snow on the banks of the Green River in the distance? ”
"The snow and ice on the road haven't melted yet, and it's too cold, so I think it's better to walk around the more lively places nearby."
"Let's go to the newly opened Europa Mall on Gufeng Road, which is also surrounded by a large commercial area, which is very lively."
Approaching the Spring Festival, coupled with heavy snow and freezing weather, the city management has also been opened in advance, and the Gufeng Road Night Market has changed to normal operation during the day, and the market is more prosperous. Some small merchants and vendors who sell New Year's goods, vegetables, snacks, and clothing are gathered here, and those who are idle and have nothing to do, those who bring their families to shop, and the men, women, and children who push carts passing by, all kinds of people are crowded, and it is magnificent. Hawkers, bargains, collisions and noises are endless.
"The difference between the ancient market during the day and the night is indeed not small, it is for mass consumption, and the festival is approaching, the flow of people can be several times more than the usual night, you see that there are a lot of people in front of each stall, and the business is really hot."
"This market is much bigger than Wenhua Road, and there are many more people. Was this the place where you used to set up a stall selling books? ”
"This is the place, the place where the shoes were sold in front of you. It's sad and ridiculous to think about, but it's here that I can see the complexity of society, understand a lot of truths, and gain a lot of knowledge, which can be regarded as an unforgettable experience. ”
"What's the matter, I'm touching the scene, and I feel a lot of emotion. Let's go, visit your love-hate spot again. ”
Walking closer, Wu Xiaojun recognized at a glance that the person who sold shoes was the woman who occupied the stall in ignorance and was tossed and turned, she was not the city bully Han San, after all, she still gave herself some rules, not to mention any resentment and hatred, but only a deep memory of a one-sided friend.
Qin Meixiang looked at the shoes placed on the car, picked out a pair of men's cotton boots and asked, "Auntie, what is the price of these shoes?" ”
As soon as the woman raised her head, she was looking at Wu Xiaojun and was taken aback, and before Wu Xiaojun could speak, she preemptively said, "Young man, it's you, but I haven't seen you for a long time, this is your girlfriend, it's so beautiful." ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "Auntie, hello, I haven't seen you for many days, now you don't sell clothes and sell cotton shoes instead, it's more in line with the season, how is the business, it's okay, is this night market changed to daytime now." ”
The woman said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, it's changed to daytime, the night market is really inconvenient, the time is short, there are many fewer people, sometimes the business can't go on, you can't earn ten or eight yuan a night, and you can't even earn enough money for food." It's very good now, all day, plus the Spring Festival is coming soon, the business is very good, and I can earn one or two hundred yuan a day. ”
Wu Xiaojun said with a smile, "Auntie, it's good, but it's hard enough, it's really not easy to freeze from morning to night." ”
The woman said, "We have no great power, but we are content with our life of suffering and suffering." Some time ago, you were beaten by Han San's people, and your aunt was also very distressed, and now he has no chance to be domineering, because he forcibly collected the protection fee of the street vendors, he was sued by a distant relative of the city leader's family, except for him, seven or eight were arrested, which is very happy. ”
Qin Meixiang held the shoes in her hand and listened quietly, but she couldn't hold back her mouth, she was in a hurry, and said, "Auntie, you two only care about talking, but you haven't made an offer yet." ”
Wu Xiaojun glared at Qin Meixiang, "Don't ask, don't want to, don't delay Auntie's business, let's go." ”
Qin Meixiang turned her face and ignored her, "Auntie, I want these shoes, you can tell me the real price." ”
The woman hurriedly said, "Young man, I have been thinking about you in my heart, quite pitiful, when I saw you, I was very excited, this mouth did not guard the door, girl, they are all old acquaintances, I don't earn your money for these shoes, thirty yuan for you." ”
Qin Meixiang said, "Thank you, Auntie, put it up and give you money." ”
Wu Xiaojun hurriedly said, "No, don't, I'll give my aunt money." ”
Qin Meixiang said, "You don't want it, what kind of money do you pay, it's what I want, be your porter." ”
Going out for a walk when you are bored is a kind of mood release. When you are very leisurely, shopping is naturally a pleasure. For most women, shopping is a good way to enhance feelings, promote spiritual communication, and release stress, like to look good and fun regardless of whether it is useful or not, talk to their friends in the constant movement, pay attention to what is sold at each stall on the side of the road, bargain with each stall owner who is interested in buying something, and in the end it is possible not to buy.
Wu Xiaojun has a duty this time, and he should do his best to accompany Qin Meixiang to go shopping. Out of admiration for his girlfriend, he fought in the north and south with her, not only to fight wits and courage, but also to endure the fierce psychological struggle between buying and not buying.
Qin Meixiang's curiosity came from nowhere, without any purpose and no time limit, pulled Wu Xiaojun to turn east and west, and turned the entire ancient market and nearby cosmetics, specialty stores, supermarkets, and shopping malls one by one. Walk slowly, take a closer look, no matter what it sells, stop every once in a while to see and ask, try it from time to time, try it and ask if it is beautiful, hesitate to say that it is beautiful, put it down and leave, sometimes a store can rub for half an hour. I ate a lot of snacks, tried a lot of clothes, wiped a lot of cosmetics, asked a lot of prices, bought not many things, and at the end of the day, I was still full of energy, excitement, and tiredness.
When the two returned to the Wu Xiaojun dormitory, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.
Qin Meixiang was in a hurry, running non-stop for a day, at that time, she was carrying a lot of energy, and she didn't feel anything, but as soon as she returned to the foothold, she immediately felt sleepy and tired, her whole body was weak, her limbs were weak, and she fell on the bed of Wu Xiaojun, "Tossing for a day, I'm tired to death, I can finally lie down for a while, rest my feet, relieve my fatigue, and take stock of what I have seen and heard and gained today." ”
Wu Xiaojun stretched his waist, yawned, twisted his bones, picked up the water glass, reclined on the Yan Fengfeng bed opposite Qin Meixiang, looked at Qin Meixiang with a spring breeze and said, "Meixiang, I am very happy and happy today, although I have walked for so long, I don't feel a little tired, I feel very happy, why is this?" ”
"Do you still need to ask, it's because you've grown and progressed, you are duplicitous, and you make people happy. In fact, it's normal for you to feel tired, and it's against your heart to say that you're not tired, but I'm afraid that I'm not happy and embarrassed to say it. ”
"Some people say that the power of a woman is immense, and the power of a beautiful woman is infinite. Really, it's not a lie, it's the first time in my life to be accompanied by such a beautiful woman as you, and I can't use up the strength even if I carry cement for a day, let alone such a trivial thing as shopping. ”
"Blow it, you should blow it to the sky. According to a British expert study, the injury suffered by a man who accompanies his wife to a shopping mall is similar to the human injury caused by a fighter pilot who flies two accelerations (accelerating with an acceleration cannon will make the pilot unconscious for a short time) when he is flying. Chinese men think that accompanying their wives to the mall is simply torture for their husbands' mental and physical torture! This is what you feel most deeply now. ”
"Oh, it's not easy, I've grown up, I've matured, and I've learned to study men."
"Listen to what others say, in fact, when a woman wants a man to accompany her shopping, she is honing the man's will, patience, and testing her attachment, often holding the attitude that the road is tortuous, and the future is bright.
"So you're testing me, so there's no need to put so much effort into it."
"Testing you is just one of them, teaching you how to treat your girlfriend is the second, and the third is ......"
