Chapter 337: Shoe Repair
Looking at the Yoremi handed over by Ji Ran, and her intoxicating smiling face, Jiao Anlei's heart suddenly jumped.
He instinctively reached out to take it, but suddenly withdrew his hand and pretended to tie his shoes.
Ji Ran looked down, but saw that Jiao Anlei's shoes were worn out.
Those shoes seem to have been worn by him since he entered the school year of his freshman year, and he is still wearing them for more than a year, and, almost most of the time, he wears them.
Originally, the quality of the shoes was not bad, but after more than a year of ups and downs, coupled with the high-intensity basketball training in the past few days, the leather has already worn out and is not broken.
Jiao Anlei was a little distressed when he saw the shoes that were about to leak his toes, but he was a little helpless.
In fact, these shoes are about forty or fifty yuan, which is nothing at all for many students, and those who have money at home even wear shoes for thousands of yuan.
However, even this forty-five yuan is a lot of money for Jiao Anlei.
Jiao Anlei tightened his shoelaces, licked his dry lips, pretended not to see it, and ignored Ji Ran.
Ji Ran bent down and sent Yuremi to him, but he ignored it.
This made Ji Ran a little embarrassed, and it also made the boys around him puzzled.
The school flowers have been given to you Yoremi, why don't you take it quickly?
Is this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Of course, they didn't know that Ji Ran's purchase of Yoremi didn't mean much, it was just out of friendship.
"Ahem..."Han Wei next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and lightly stepped on Jiao Anlei's scream, coughing twice.
Jiao Anlei noticed that many people's eyes were focused, so he had to reach out and take the Yoremi in Ji Ran's hand, thank you, unscrew the bottle cap and drink.
Seeing that Jiao Anlei accepted his kindness, Ji Ran left with a smile.
Han Wei watched Ji Ran walk away, and then couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you kid?" Why are you so cold to school flowers? ”
Jiao Anlei didn't say anything, the scars on his face were the reason.
Han Wei looked at the injury on Jiao Anlei's face, smiled and shook his head, "Dude, what is this injury?" If it were me, I would have wished I had this kind of good opportunity, beaten up, to get the heart of the school flower, and I couldn't find such a good deal with lanterns. ”
Hearing Han Wei's words, Jiao Anlei's heart trembled slightly, he turned his head to look in the direction of Ji Ran, at this time, Ji Ran was also looking at him with a smile, and when he saw that he also looked over, he smiled and beckoned to Jiao Anlei.
Looking at her pure and sweet smile, Jiao Anlei's heart was like a spring breeze, and now he himself is a little blind, is this true? Or are you still dreaming?
Jiao Anlei didn't respond, lowered his head again, drank the Yoremi in his hand, and walked to the court again.
"Jiao Anlei, come on! ~" Ji Ran watched Jiao Anlei walk onto the court, stood on the side of the court, and encouraged loudly.
Hearing Ji Ran's encouragement, the boys all looked at Jiao Anlei with envy and jealousy.
Jiao Anlei doesn't know whether to be happy or continue to pretend to be indifferent?
In short, whether all this is true or not, he has a feeling of beauty in his heart.
The afternoon game was still fierce, although the opponent was not very strong, but Jiao Anlei still performed positively.
He fought desperately like Saburo, and became the focus of attention on the court.
After the game, Jiao Anlei miraculously scored eight points, which was his best result ever.
However, while reaping the achievements, Jiao Anlei also encountered a big problem that was difficult to speak.
It turned out that his shoes were broken, the tips of the shoes were broken with a hole, the toes were exposed, and the soles of his feet were actually broken a long time ago, but he repaired the shoes once and nailed them once.
Jiao Anlei embarrassedly covered his shoes with shoe covers and walked towards the locker room.
All this has long been seen by the careful Ji Ran, watching Jiao Anlei enter the locker room, Ji Ran also quietly followed.
Jiao Anlei changed his clothes, looked down at the torn shoes, and sighed helplessly.
"Hey... It's time to repair shoes again. Jiao Anlei said helplessly.
After school, Jiao Anlei returned to the dormitory, changed into another pair of old shoes, and carried the broken shoes to a shoe repair stall near the school.
The shoe stall is not big, it is an old man who repairs shoes, he has been repairing shoes here for decades, and many thrifty classmates will ask him to repair shoes.
The old man repaired the shoes very carefully and seriously, and the shoes he repaired were also very comfortable to wear, and there was no feeling of discomfort.
Jiao Anlei has been here a few times, and this time he is looking for him.
"Uncle, I'm here to trouble you again, can you help me repair my shoes?" Jiao Anlei took out the broken shoes and put them in front of the old man.
The old man picked up the shoes, looked at them carefully, and frowned slightly, "Young man, if I'm not mistaken, your shoes have been repaired three times, right?" It's all so broken, why don't you change it to a new one? This hole is so big, and it's on the bright side, it's not easy to repair, even if it's repaired, it doesn't look good, so it's better to replace it with a new pair, right? ”
Hearing the old man's words, Jiao Anlei's heart sank for a moment.
He didn't want to change to a new one, but he was really reluctant in his heart.
"Uncle, you can help me think of a way, help me fix it again, if it breaks again, I'll replace it with a new one." Jiao Anlei discussed with the uncle.
The uncle was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to refuse him anymore, so he reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, I'll try it and find you a skin of the same color." The old man said, rummaged in the material bag, and after looking for a long time, he found a leather with a similar color to Jiao Anlei's shoes, polished it, and pasted it.
The old man seriously pasted the leather, polished it again, and cleaned the surface of the shoes, and a pair of shoes that had been broken were miraculously brought back to life.
Looking at the old man's exquisite skills, Jiao Anlei admired in his heart, sure enough, it was three hundred and sixty lines, and he was the champion in the line, and the old man's craftsmanship should be quite powerful in the shoe repair circle.
"Uncle, how much?" Jiao Anlei asked.
"Just give me three dollars." The old man said to Jiao Anlei.
He has been busy for so long, and he only needs three yuan, Jiao Anlei's heart is a little moved.
"Uncle, these five pieces are all given to you, thank you." Jiao Anlei handed the money to the old man.
The old man still found him stiffly, and when he watched him leave, he also advised: "If you open the glue, remember to come back to me and stick it to you for free." ”
"Hey, I got it, uncle." Jiao Anlei answered, picked up his shoes and left.
