Chapter 205: Knowing the face of a person does not know the heart
Not long after hanging up the phone, Gu Mochen also took Gu Zhoubei out and went to the nearest Spring Festival Flower Market.
Gu Mochen has never been much interested in these flowers and plants, but Xiaobei is full of interest, his little head keeps turning, and he talks more than usual.
"What are we going to buy, flowers?" When he came to the flower exhibition area, Xiaobei asked.
"Yes." Gu Mochen's purpose was very clear, and his eyes searched for hyacinths everywhere.
"This is pretty!" Xiaobei pointed to the narcissus on the stall next to him.
"It's called Narcissus, we're looking for Hyacinth!"
"What is a hyacinth and is it also a flower?"
"Well, a potted floret that can be raised with water and can also be grown with soil." Gu Mochen didn't know much about plants, so he could only tell him what he knew.
"Is it pretty?"
"It's okay." Gu Mochen thought for a while and asked, "Do you like that narcissus, do you want to buy a pot to go home?" β
Gu Zhoubei shook his head: "Girls like flowers." β
Gu Mochen paused for a moment, looked down at the little ghost beside him, and felt that he seemed to have grown up a lot for a moment, and then smiled: "Who told you that girls only like flowers?" β
Gu Zhoubei didn't think about it, and said: "During the autumn trip, Li Tianyou wanted Zhao Menghan's small fish, and Zhao Menghan asked him to exchange a small flower with her, she likes flowers, and Lin Ziqi also likes flowers. β
Gu Mochen listened, a burst of relief, unconsciously, Xiaobei's state is much better, in addition to saying too many long sentences, when he is in a good mood, he will also take the initiative to talk to people, thinking of this, he can't help but think of that little girl, he knows that all this is due to her.
"Then let's pick a pot of hyacinths and give them to the vines."
"Okay!" Hearing this, Gu Zhoubei's eyebrows and eyes were curled.
"What are you happy about?" Gu Mochen glanced down at him.
"Because she'll be happy to give it to the vine!" As he spoke, he suddenly frowned, "I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little." β
"You like her so much?"
Gu Zhoubei nodded very sincerely: "I like it, when I grow up, I want her to be my girlfriend!" β
The words were amazing, and Gu Mochen suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Do you know what a girlfriend is?" β
Gu Zhoubei naturally didn't know his brother's mood at the moment, and said honestly: "Girlfriends can just hold hands and be together every day!" β
Gu Mochen was speechless for a while, couldn't help laughing, led him a few meters forward, and said with a little smugness: "Xiaobei, you don't have a chance, Manman is my girlfriend now." β
The little guy didn't quite understand, and looked up at him: "You guys don't get together every day, I don't believe it." β
"She's back to her house now, and we'll see each other every day after the New Year!"
Gu Zhoubei looked up at him again, and thought for a while: "Then let her be your girlfriend now, and then be my girlfriend when I grow up!" β
Gu Mochen didn't expect that one day he would make the childish act of "grabbing" his girlfriend with his six-year-old brother, he couldn't cry or laugh, paused, he pretended to be a little regretful and said: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, you don't have to wait for you to grow up, Manman will become your sister-in-law, my wife." β
At this moment, Tan Man, who was standing in front of the peach blossom trees in the flower market, sneezed several times in a row, of course she didn't know that she was becoming the target of a pair of naΓ―ve brothers, poked her nose, and caught up with the big army.
Tan Weiguo and the three of them were patiently picking in front of a few peach blossom trees, and Tan Man was standing behind them boredly, gently fiddling with the branches, pretending to be involved.
"Just this one, there are many stamens, wait a week, and you can fully bloom, just for the New Year." The boss on the side was trying hard to sell to them.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to open this New Year." Lin Jiaming looked at the one pointed out by the boss, and then turned his head around to compare a few trees around.
"This year is a warm spring, my batch of peach trees, the New Year will be able to bloom, the one I said, the tree shape is the best, the stamens are the most, it's right." The owner insisted.
Tan Weiguo turned his head to ask Tan Man's opinion, and she nodded: "It's okay, if you like me, I'll pay." β
"Well, this is it!" Tan Weiguo said.
The boss suddenly smiled, the businessman usually has a sweet mouth, and said to Tan Weiguo: "Okay, this is your daughter, she looks so good, and she is filial, you are really blessed, I bought this peach tree and went home, I wish my little sister the peach blossoms to roll in the coming year." β
Tan Man was a little funny, said "thank you", and followed him to pay, Niu Li bumped her son's arm and motioned him to hurry up and go with him, so Lin Jiaming also followed.
This flower stall is very large, to go to the cash register, you must bypass an indoor flower and wood frame, walk in and find that there are various varieties of flowers on the flower stand, perhaps because there are many varieties, good shape, customers are more than a few stalls around, there is a queue in front of the cash register, although it is not too long, but they are all some aunts, slow action is not counted, all want to cut the price before payment, it seems that they have to wait for a while. Tan Man was ready to line up for a while, and then Lin Jiaming shouted at her:
"Manman, come here, it's our turn."
As soon as he looked up, Lin Jiaming actually inserted the two aunts in front of him and was in the first place, Tan Man was wondering, and when the aunt in front saw this, she said loudly: "Eh, young man, it's obviously coming to us, why don't you line up." β
Even if she was still lining up at the back, but the people around her knew that she was in the same group as him, Tan Man suddenly felt embarrassed and thrown home, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask Lin Jiaming to come back and line up, but he was indifferent, and he shot back with confidence.
"Auntie, you obviously walked away just now, I thought you weren't here to pay, just line up and line up, why are you eating in the bowl and looking at the pot!"
"I said you young man, why do you talk like that!" When the aunt heard it, she was not a local, but she didn't give up, "You don't have to line up." β
At this time, the people in line all looked at them in unison, whispering, and pointing.
Tan Man almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and hurriedly apologized to his aunt: "I'm sorry, my friend is a little anxious, because there are old people waiting outside, it's our fault, you pay, I'm lining up behind you." β
"We have people waiting outside, no matter how urgent we are, there must be one who will come first." Seeing Tan Man's good attitude, the aunt didn't want to worry about it anymore, and after speaking, she turned around and took out her wallet to pay.
Lin Jiaming's face was obviously unconvinced, but seeing that Tan Man's face had darkened, he had no choice but to shut up and stand aside and wait.
"Jiaming, you go back and wait, I'll just line up here." Tan Man flipped through a bank from his satchel, didn't look at him, and said coldly.
Lin Jiaming glanced around, afraid that he didn't feel embarrassed, so he nodded and went back first.
After making this scene, Tan Man felt more and more that Lin Jiaming was unpleasant, although it was a small matter, it reflected a person's quality from the details, basically speaking, Lin Jiaming is selfish, no matter what excuse he makes, he doesn't consider other people's feelings, just for his own convenience, he is not what a gentleman should have.
When they came back, Tan Weiguo and Niu Li stood in front of the stall where they had just selected peach blossoms, chatting and waiting for her, but they didn't see Lin Jiaming, Tan Man didn't bother to ask, and smiled lightly at the two: "It's done!" β
"Let's go when it's done, Jiaming and the boss will move the flowers to our car first." Niu Li smiled and seemed to be very satisfied, of course, she was also in a good mood, and her father.
"Let's take a ride, go back." Tan Weiguo said.
Tan Man couldn't refuse, after all, the peach tree half as tall as her still needed someone to move home, so she could only sigh slightly, hoping to get rid of the status quo as soon as possible.
When they got in the car, the two glanced at each other, Lin Jiaming's eyes obviously lost his previous arrogance, and he had a little bit of emptiness, and along the way, there were fewer words, Tan Man was even more silent, but the two elders didn't think much about it, and chatted happily.
Moving the peach blossoms upstairs, Tan Weiguo tried his best to invite Niu Li's mother and son to stay for dinner, but Niu Li said that she had to go to her eldest brother's house for dinner at noon, so she had to give up.
Sending people away, Tan Man finally let out a long breath and sat lazily on the sofa.
Tan Weiguo was fiddling with the newly bought peach blossoms with great interest at the moment, and he didn't forget to praise Lin Jiaming, the more Tan Man listened, the more irritated he became, and couldn't help but reply: "Dad, you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart, you just look at the appearance." β
When Tan Weiguo heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and turned his head to look at his daughter puzzled: "What's wrong?" β
Tan Man thought about it, but still didn't expose his shortcomings in front of his father, so as not to cause trouble, and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you, maybe people are not as good as you think." β
"You, you want me, say you, what's good!" Tan Weiguo began to count his daughter, "People are enthusiastic, helpful, you are one, ice cube face, to Jiaming, you, just, just like that, don't you want to see you?" β
"There are some things that just can't come by." She was also impatient, and asked rhetorically, "Dad, you just want your daughter to get married, I'm only twenty-three." β
"It's twenty-four, right away, it's the New Year!" Tan Weiguo turned around, too lazy to look at her, and continued to fiddle with the peach blossoms, "You are now working, stable, you can think about it, think about it, time flies, girl, for a while, it's not young." β
At this moment, she really wanted to simply confess the matter with Gu Mochen, but after thinking about it again, this relationship was only established for two days, there were too many unknowns, and the future was uncertain, so she had to endure it again.
"I know, I'll be cautious about this, it's just, Dad, I really don't have feelings for that Lin Jiaming, that's right, he works decently, and he also bought a house and a car in Suzhou, but I don't marry these conditions, so don't match you and Aunt Niu in the future, we are really not suitable."
Tan Weiguo was silent behind her back, Tan Man didn't know what his father was thinking, but even if he was uncomfortable, it was impossible for her to compromise on this matter.
After a while, seeing that her father didn't speak, she simply hid back in the room.
As soon as he sat at the desk, he received a WeChat message from Gu Mochen, and the prompt in the overview was a picture.
Tan Man couldn't wait to click on the WeChat, and a photo of Xiaobei holding a pot of hyacinths jumped out of the screen, and in an instant, the haze in his heart was swept away.
