Chapter 11: The Hope of Shoes

"I can't ask for these shoes!"

"Why?"

On Saturday afternoon, by the March River outside the city, Qiu Zichuan and Shui Xiaolin had an argument!

On the Friday after returning from Gumu Temple, when the evening self-study class ended, as soon as Qiu Zichuan came out of the classroom door, Shui Xiaolin, who was already standing at the door of his classroom, hurriedly stuffed Qiu Zichuan with a note. Then, he lowered his head and smiled lightly and walked away.

Back at home, Qiu Zichuan opened it and looked at it, which read:

There's no class tomorrow Saturday afternoon, so I'll wait for you at the old place, okay?

After reading it, Qiu Zichuan was indescribably happy in his heart! After returning from Gumu Temple, Qiu Zichuan decided that between himself and Shui Xiaolin, just like Lin Daojing and Yu Yongze in "Song of Youth", they were in love, and they were in love!

And since Qiu Zichuan kicked his shoes for a fight that day, Shui Xiaolin thought about buying a pair of good-looking new shoes for Qiu Zichuan as a token of her gratitude!

Especially when she came back from Gumu Temple, like Qiu Zichuan, Shui Xiaolin's heart also rippled with ripples of love, always thinking that Qiu Zichuan was her handsome boy!

She thought that in addition to borrowing a lot of books from Qiu Zichuan, she also wanted to buy Qiu Zichuan a pair of Shanghai pull-back shoes that boys like but can't afford!

After lunch at noon on Saturday, Shui Xiaolin took out all the books in her schoolbag at home, secretly stuffed them under the bed, and then only put in the pair of white pull-back shoes that had been secretly hidden under the bed for two days.

The day before yesterday, the county department store finally arrived, and every two days at noon, Shui Xiaolin always went to the county department store less than 800 meters away from the school at noon, because it was men's shoes, and she was embarrassed to ask! I couldn't help it once, so I mustered up the courage to ask the salesperson, saying that it would take a few days to come a few pairs, because there were too few people to buy, so I didn't buy them often.

Every time she goes, she always has the pocket money that her parents usually give, as well as the fifteen yuan given by her grandparents when she came back from Shanghai! Fortunately, as soon as you have it on the shoe cabinet, you can buy it immediately!

She wanted to give it to Qiu Zichuan in the original shoe box,! That way it looks solemn, it looks like a gift, the box is as beautiful as the shoes, and the dynamic "Shanghai pull back shoes" on the line of red words makes people's blood boil! But such a huge thing really can't be hidden, and it attracts people's eyes, and I'm even more afraid that it can't escape the eyes of my mother and aunt. So, I had to endure the pain in the department store, and the salesperson complained that I could put things when I went home, so don't be a pity! Don't want her to keep it.

cleaned up, and then told her aunt to go to the classroom to do her homework, Shui Xiaolin left the house with joy in her heart.

Along the way, Shui Xiaolin also touched the pull-back shoes in the schoolbag from time to time, imagining how surprised Qiu Zichuan would be when he saw it!

Qiu Zichuan, who had been waiting for himself in the locust forest by the river in March, was excited and mysterious when he saw Shui Xiaolin coming, and said that he wanted to give himself a gift, with a puzzled look, thinking why give me a gift?

Looking at Qiu Zichuan's blank face, Shui Xiaolin smiled mischievously and said:

Protect me for your day!

Then he took out the pair of pull-back shoes from his schoolbag, pretended to be very solemn, and handed them to Qiu Zichuan with both hands.

Qiu Zichuan was stunned at first! Then she took her shoes and wondered how she knew she loved to play basketball, and her eyes immediately radiated excitement! But then he lowered his head again and returned the shoe to Shui Xiaolin.

So, the scene at the beginning appeared!

"Why don't you?" Shui Xiaolin looked incomprehensible!

That's how many boys dream of shoes! In Manman County Middle School, half of the boys among the more than 1,000 students, how many of them can wear such pull-back shoes! There are a few people who don't go crazy about having a pair of shoes like this!

"Our family can't afford shoes like this!" After a while, Qiu Zichuan finally spoke! But still keep his head down.

"This is what I gave you! Who said they wanted your money! Shui Xiaolin still didn't understand.

"Then how do I tell my mom when I get home?" Qiu Zichuan raised his head and looked at the river.

"Just say that your classmates can't send it?"

"Who's so rich! Why should you send it? Qiu Zichuan still looked at the river.

"Let's just say you kicked your shoes to protect me that day!" Shui Xiaolin thought that there was nothing to say about this.

"My mother won't let us ask for other people's things, no matter how small they are, let alone such expensive ones!" Qiu Zichuan picked up a small piece of soil at hand and threw it vigorously towards the beach below.

"Why are you like this!" Shui Xiaolin is unhappy! Holding his shoes and sitting in front of Qiu Zichuan.

When Shui Xiaolin muttered and looked at Qiu Zichuan, when she saw that Qiu Zichuan didn't turn her face to look at herself, she first glanced at Qiu Zichuan, and then turned her face to the river. I thought you should at least thank me first! That's good to make yourself happy first! As soon as you open your mouth, you say no!

I don't understand feelings at all!

Shui Xiaolin complained about Qiu Zichuan in her heart as if she was learning from the adults in the movie!

"Can I get it back?" Qiu Zichuan turned his head and looked at the pull-back shoes in Shui Xiaolin's arms, and there was some reluctance in his eyes!

He knew he couldn't ask for these shoes, but he really wanted to put them on his feet, at least to try what it was like to wear them!

Wu Weidong has a pair, which his parents bought for him on his birthday last year, a pair of twelve yuan octagonal, and the price Qiu Zichuan also saw on the shoe cabinet of the county department store. At that time, Wu Weidong shouted that he would go to the school court, and kept running excitedly for a while, and jumped again! Then, as if I had made an amazing discovery, I said that my bounce power had really improved! And it's comfortable when you land!

Looking at Wu Weidong's happy appearance, Qiu Zichuan remembered that his mother said that the monthly living expenses of our family are twenty-two yuan, and my mother's monthly salary is a little more than thirty-eight yuan, as well as electricity and water bills, as well as clothes, as well as tuition fees and books for myself and my sister to go to school, and ......!

"I won't retreat!" Shui Xiaolin hugged her shoes tightly in her arms!

"But I really can't ask for it!"

"Then you take it first, don't wear it first, and hide it secretly, okay? Is it not good to have a chance to wear it again in the future? Shui Xiaolin still looked very unhappy!

"That's not going to work either!" Qiu Zichuan retracted his gaze that stayed on his shoes.

"Why?" Hearing Qiu Zichuan say this, Shui Xiaolin was even more unhappy!

Qiu Zichuan bowed his head and did not speak.

"I don't want other people's things! I will join the work in the future, and I will buy it myself! Qiu Zichuan suddenly raised his head and spoke, and he said very firmly.

He suddenly felt that if he asked for Shui Xiaolin's things, and it was so expensive, he would be embarrassed to see Shui Xiaolin again in the future, no! You won't be able to lift your head!

He remembered that when he was a child, his father said that a man should buy what he wants, and if he wants other people's things, he is a beggar! Later, my mother said something like that!

"How can you think like that, this is what I gave you!" Shui Xiaolin is in a hurry! Last week, I told myself that I was going to hold my hand and die!

Qiu Zichuan stopped talking again!

"You really don't want to? Really don't? "Shui Xiaolin is a little anxious! I didn't expect Qiu Zichuan to be so unkind! The eyes are full of disappointment! Even more angry!

Qiu Zichuan still didn't speak!

Shui Xiaolin: "Hmph! He turned his back with a bang, but his hands were still tightly holding the pull-back shoes in his arms!

After a while, Shui Xiaolin sobbed behind him, and Qiu Zichuan panicked when he heard it! Hurriedly turned around.

"Don't cry! Why are you crying? Qiu Zichuan was at a loss all of a sudden!

Shui Xiaolin began to cry out loud, and her shoulders shrugged.

Qiu Zichuan looked up, hurriedly got up and turned to Shui Xiaolin and sat down, there was no way to deal with the girl crying Qiu Zichuan!

"Don't you cry, can't you?"

He hurriedly held Shui Xiaolin's shoulders with both hands, but Shui Xiaolin shook her shoulders, turned to the side, and continued to cry!

"That's it! Don't cry, can't you! Qiu Zichuan also hurriedly followed. While frowning and anxiously persuading Shui Xiaolin, she looked around again, thinking that others saw it and said that she was bullying girls, so how can you say it!

Shui Xiaolin continued to cry!

followed Qiu Zichuan, who turned to Shui Xiaolin, and wanted to reach out to hold Shui Xiaolin's shoulders again, but he was afraid that Shui Xiaolin would throw it away again, and he didn't know what to do for a while!

"Then I'll ask you!" Seeing Qiu Zichuan surrounding him anxiously, the resentment in Shui Xiaolin's heart began to decrease!

"You say!"

"So what you said that day is okay, right?" Shui Xiaolin looked at Qiu Zichuan crying, and her shoulders were still shrugging!

"What?"

"What you wrote in the palm of your hand, and what I wrote in the palm of your hand!"

"Count! Absolutely! Qiu Zichuan nodded anxiously!

"Then why do we have to divide you and me!" Whining! After speaking, Shui Xiaolin rubbed her eyes with her hands as if she was very aggrieved, and cried even louder!

"I swear to you!" Qiu Zichuan hurriedly reached out and grabbed Shui Xiaolin's hand rubbing his eyes.

"You swear!" Shui Xiaolin, who continued to cry with her eyes closed, shook off Qiu Zichuan's hand.

"I swear! I only have you in my heart in this life and this life, and I only need to hold your hand when I die! Qiu Zichuan's eyes widened as he looked at Shui Xiaolin!

"I don't want you to kneel for me!" Shui Xiaolin, who opened her eyes, burst into tears and laughed!

Qiu Zichuan only then realized that he was in a hurry just now, and both knees hit the ground. So, I hurriedly got up, patted the soil and grass on my knees, and sat down again.

"And what do you say about these shoes?" Shui Xiaolin pursed her lips again and looked at Qiu Zichuan.

"What do you say?" Qiu Zichuan's tone softened, but he still couldn't ask for it.

"So be it!" Seeing that Qiu Zichuan was really embarrassed, Shui Xiaolin came up with a solution in her mind.

"You say!" Qiu Zichuan thought in his heart that he couldn't ask for it, but he also knew now that Shui Xiaolin would be very sad if he did it again.

"I'll take it home and hide it!" Shui Xiaolin looked at Qiu Zichuan and smiled very happily for the good idea she came up with!

"Hmm!" Qiu Zichuan's mind is downward!

"And then!" Shui Xiaolin rolled her eyes, smiled mysteriously at Qiu Zichuan, and said:

"Then you must listen to me!"

"Hmm!" Qiu Zichuan nodded vigorously again.

"And then!" Shui Xiaolin raised her face as if she was imagining.

"You say!" Qiu Zichuan was afraid that Shui Xiaolin would regenerate. I don't know when I'm going to let myself take it.

"You swear first, you must listen to me!" Shui Xiaolin thought that Qiu Zichuan just said that he would buy it himself after joining the work.

"I swear! You said! Qiu Zichuan had no choice but to nod!

"You didn't say you would listen to me!" Shui Xiaolin thought that I can't let you ruin my beautiful thoughts, I must listen to me!

"I swear! Listen to you! Qiu Zichuan thought to himself, there are so many things for girls!

"I'll take these shoes home and hide them secretly! You'll put it on again when we're in college, okay? After Shui Xiaolin finished speaking, she was excited about her good idea, and looked at Qiu Zichuan very proudly.

"Good! I agree with this! Definitely agree! Hehe! Qiu Zichuan also laughed happily with relief!

He thought that this Shui Xiaolin in front of him was so good! I want to live up to her for the rest of my life! At the same time, he also thought that at that time, he must buy a more expensive gift for her, and then his heart can be relieved!

"No!"

"Why not?"

Looking at the happy Shui Xiaolin and saying no, Qiu Zichuan's eyes were stunned!

"I want you to change into these shoes as soon as we leave Tanchi! The two of us are going to enter a university, and when we enter the school gate, I will hold your hand, and you will wear the pull-back shoes I gave you, and we will walk into the university gate together! All right? ”

"Good! I listen to you! Looking at the glint of happiness in Shui Xiaolin's eyes! Qiu Zichuan feels that at this moment, he is the happiest person in the world!

"And!"

"What else?" Qiu Zichuan thinks that she really has a lot to do today!

"I'm in Shanghai, in the alley, in the small park on the street, I often see some old men and old ladies, holding hands at dusk, walking together, although they don't speak, but their hands are tightly held and never throw away!"

"Hmmm! What's wrong? Qiu Zichuan blinked at Shui Xiaolin.

"So, I want you to wear these shoes only when you're on a date with me when you go to college, and then, then, don't tell you!" Shui Xiaolin seems to be shy!

"Say!" Qiu Zichuan was confused!

"Then, you're not allowed to wear it!" Shui Xiaolin looked at Qiu Zichuan seriously.

"Not allowed to wear it?" The more Qiu Zichuan listened, the more he didn't understand!

"Hmmm! Then I'll wash it up and treasure it! Shui Xiaolin's eyes seemed to start thinking again!

"Treasure it!" Qiu Zichuan began to blink at Shui Xiaolin again.

"Hmm!" Shui Xiaolin nodded very seriously.

"What!"

"I'm going to put it all the way when we're all old, to be like those retired old men and old ladies, and I want you to put it on again, and hold my hand every day at dusk, and we'll walk together!" Shui Xiaolin looked at Qiu Zichuan and said her yearning word by word.

"Walking"

"Hmmm! Our youth, our twilight, have its footprints! ”

"Footprints!"

"Hmmm! I'm going to use it to prove the love of our life!

"Love!"

"Hmm!" At this time, Shui Xiaolin's eyes were like a secluded lake, looking at Qiu Zichuan and blinking!

Watching Shui Xiaolin look at herself with affection like this, saying words like "our love"! In an instant, Qiu Zichuan's heart seemed to be rapidly passed by a powerful current, and his entire heart suddenly felt a tremor!

From the first day of contact with Shui Xiaolin, Qiu Zichuan's heart began to keep flooding with a nameless surge, and last week, the two wrote the hope in their hearts on each other's palms, Qiu Zichuan has been thinking that this is love, but I'm afraid that Shui Xiaolin won't say that! This will hear Shui Xiaolin say the words "our love", and her heart will suddenly rejoice!

"Hmmm! I listen to you! Qiu Zichuan stretched out his hands and shook Shui Xiaolin's shoulders vigorously, looked straight at Shui Xiaolin and nodded vigorously!

"Oh! …… Oh! Shui Xiaolin, who was happy when the goal was achieved, held a shoe in one hand, stretched out her arms into the air with a "brush", and shook happily! Shouting!

"Come on! Put it on and try it out! After venting her excitement, Shui Xiaolin was anxious about what Qiu Zichuan would look like in these shoes.

"Don't! New! Let's wait for later! Qiu Zichuan really stepped on this shoe at this time, but he was still a little reluctant!

"No! I want you to wear it, I want to see you wear it! "Shui Xiaolin insisted!

"Good!" Qiu Zichuan took the shoes, kicked off the shoes on his feet in a few moments, and wanted to stretch them in in a panic, but there were many perforations in the laces of the pullback shoes, and Shui Xiaolin had already skewered them at home.

"Don't worry!" Looking at Qiu Zichuan's excitement, Shui Xiaolin was very happy, took the shoes, loosened the laces of the two shoes, and then handed them to Qiu Zichuan.

After putting it on, Qiu Zichuan immediately stood up, walked back and forth on the ground, and stepped on it hard, it was so comfortable! I thought that what Wu Weidong said was not wrong at all, he would definitely jump higher in such shoes!

"Beautiful! It's so pretty! Looking at the happy Qiu Zichuan, Shui Xiaolin applauded childishly!

"Thank you! Thank you so much! Qiu Zichuan stopped and looked at Shui Xiaolin sincerely, this is the best shoe he has worn when he is so big, although now he can only try it.

"I don't want you to thank me! Hehe! I want you to run! Listening to Qiu Zichuan say thank you like that, Shui Xiaolin was even happier, and stood up all of a sudden and pushed Qiu Zichuan.

"Run?" Qiu Zichuan didn't understand it all of a sudden!

"It's your shoe! You're going to run! Shui Xiaolin continued to push Qiu Zichuan in the direction of the beach below the woods.

"Oh!" Qiu Zichuan, who understood in an instant, excitedly spread his arms, jumped through the woods, and ran towards the beach below!

"Oh!" Happy Shui Xiaolin also followed behind, shouting and jumping excitedly.

Soon rushed to the beach, Qiu Zichuan ran and jumped, and shouted loudly and did a somersault!

He's awesome!

Standing at the edge of the woods, looking at Qiu Zichuan's vigorous figure, his eyes were full of sweetness, and his eyes followed Qiu Zichuan's cheerful figure on the beach.

……
