We are still unfamiliar with the city of Wushi, where to go, what kind of transportation to choose, and where to stay in a hotel. But as Wushi in the eyes of outsiders, the most representative landmark building is the Crane Tower.

I opened the navigation to find the geographical location of the Crane Tower, and was about to ask Hu Shanshan if she was going, but saw that she was still immersed in the fragrance of roses and looked at me.

"It's not Teacher's Day today, what do I want you to have a bouquet of flowers? Sentimental! ”

I hesitated and chewed on her voice and asked, "Do you have to wait until Teacher's Day to send you flowers?" ”

Hu Shanshan leaned sideways on the flower pillar in the square, toe upside down, and raised a beautiful face towards the sky: "Except for my students, you are the first man to give me flowers, or rose." If my mother sees it, it's time to force the marriage again. ”

"Forced marriage?"

"Melon field and plums," Hu Shanshan held the rose and shook it in front of me.

Ripples rippled in my heart. It seems that this bouquet of roses is really out of place, if we are lovers, or if we participate in this trip for the purpose of falling in love, it is fine, but we are only meeting for the first time, so this flower gift is indeed a bit presumptuous.

"It's the first time we've met, I can't be empty-handed."

I smiled earnestly, thinking about how I could make this reckless statement as high-sounding as possible.

"Besides, how could Auntie see it."

"Won't she see it when I get home?"

"Are you going to bring the flowers back?"

Hu Shanshan looked at me suspiciously: "You want me to throw it away?" ”

I think Hu Shanshan may have just made a casual joke, after all, flowers have a shelf life.

We will stay in Wushi for two and a half days, and the return trip will be scheduled for the 29th of the lunar month, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Because the end of the year is busy, everyone is a person who participates in the work, and it is not easy to squeeze out this little time! So I cherish this trip and am very grateful to her for giving me this opportunity. You know, it's not that simple to get a girl to drop your mustard and go on a trip with you, it has to be based on full trust.

A girl's trip is like a refugee migration, and she can't wait to bring her bed with her. Compared to Hu Shanshan's huge suitcase, I didn't even bring a change of socks, so the first thing we did when we came to Wushi was to find a hotel and put our luggage.

In a towering commercial building along Yanjiang Avenue, we selected two sets of adjacent river-view houses, settled down and went out to eat together. At this time, the streets of Wushi were crowded and lively.

I took Hu Shanshan into a Western restaurant, and when I met him for the first time, I wanted to behave as a gentleman, but I was still limited by the concept of consumption, and I always felt that I was incompatible with this kind of scene.

"You're very skillful!"

Hu Shanshan looked at me cutting beef and asked, "Do you often eat Western food?" ”

"Work needs!"

As I spoke, I put the cut beef fork on her plate, picked up the iron spoon and put it into the coffee cup and stirred.

"Oh! I almost forgot that you were in sales. She said.

"Actually, I envy you teachers."

I took a sip of coffee and put my hands on my chin, admiring the beautiful teacher in front of me.

"So many holidays! There are also various benefits. ”

"It's not as good as you think."

Hu Shanshan shrugged helplessly, and suddenly put down the tableware with interest and asked me:

"But I have the impression that the salespeople are all talking to each other all over the street, will you ......?"

"You're talking about a sales pitcher, right?" I was surprised.

"Isn't it different?"

"We're much more advanced!"

Hu Shanshan smiled and didn't ask again, probably not figuring out what kind of profession sales is.

"Where are we going after eating?" I broke the silence and asked.

"You arrange"

Hu Shanshan took a sip of coffee and picked up her phone to look at it, her brows tightened, as if she had something on her mind.

"Then take a walk on the street, I still need to buy something."

Later, we went to Jianghan Pedestrian Street, bought some small things, and took pictures of each other, wandering around until the evening, listening to a passer-by who said that when we came to Wu City, we must go to Hubu Lane to have a look. A 150-meter-old street is known as the first snack street in Wushi. As soon as Hu Shanshan heard about the snack street, she was so excited that she dragged me to take a taxi quickly.

Lunch was eaten late, and there was no appetite at this time, but as soon as the aroma was smoked on this 400-year-old street, the gluttonous worms in the stomach began to be restless.

Raindrops fell from the sky, and the shops along the street were crowded in the mist. The drizzle makes the ancient bluestone shine with oil, and the steaming steam rises and falls in the air.

No one holds an umbrella, no one shelters from the rain, and the iron plate on which the squid is grilled is sizzled by water droplets.

From roast lamb intestines to sizzling tofu, Hu Shanshan told me that her biggest dream in life is to be able to eat and drink like this when she is old. I was untouched at the time, but later I learned that she had a grandmother who suffered from three highs, and the old man had suffered all his life, and finally survived to the age of enjoying the old happiness but he had to avoid everything, and he could see it but not eat, which was so torturous!

The evening breeze carries the rain, and the lights on both sides of the road are colorful. Wandering aimlessly, a light in the southern twilight is faintly burning, like the glow of the clouds, so fascinating.

"Lu Xia, that is the Crane Tower"

"Hmm!"

I nodded, retracted my gaze and explained to Hu Shanshan: "The afternoon time is too tight, so I didn't take you there." Isn't it a waste to charge admission to that place, and if we pay the money but don't have enough time to visit! ”

Hu Shanshan glanced at me and said, "The second half of the sentence is the point!" ”

"Something, as if this money can be saved."

"Who knows what's going on in your stomach?"

Hu Shanshan snorted coldly and pointed to her phone: "The weather forecast says that it may rain tomorrow." Can we still go play when it rains? ”

I scratched my cheeks, helpless. I wondered how I could catch up with the rain! It's hard to come to Wushi once, and you won't have to spend it in a hotel.

When I woke up the next day, I saw through the window of the hotel that the city of Wu was peaceful, with a light mist churning on the surface of the river, heralding the arrival of a heavy rain.

When eating the breakfast buffet, Hu Shanshan asked me if I wanted to buy an umbrella first, and I patted my chest to promise that it would not rain if I was troublesome! Until I was in the scenic spot, Hu Shanshan hated to slash me on the spot.

There are many legends about the Crane Tower, and I picked one of the most mythical ones to tell Hu Shanshan, and I wanted to show off my knowledge, so I chanted Tang poems.

Walking along the flow of people, when standing in front of the huge mural, the tour guide took a headset to explain, and Hu Shanshan followed behind, and suddenly turned her face to me and said: "The version she told is not as wonderful as yours!" The way of expression is not as good as yours, it's a pity that you don't go to grab a job from others. ”

I thought to myself, people don't know that the same story has been told here thousands of times, and it's normal to lose its appeal. As for stealing jobs, I'm not interested.

If you want to be poor, go to the next level.

On the platform, you can see a flying dragon leaping across the Yangtze River, which is the Yangtze River Bridge. It rained in Wushi on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and the water vapor was filled, which added a bit of agility to this giant dragon. On the other side, a group of tourists holding umbrellas are clustered around a red building, and a huge bell hangs in the center, which is particularly eye-catching.

"That's the Millennium Clock"

I pointed it out to Hu Shanshan, and then I felt that I was really about to become a tour guide, and in fact, this place was my first time, and I must have heard of Hu Shanshan who I knew, after all, this is the information age.

"I was only 5 years old at the turn of the millennium"

Hu Shanshan lazily lay on the railing of the ancient building, reaching out to catch the raindrops dripping from the eaves. "My grandmother told me that it was a very fortunate thing to cross the millennium, because it was the beginning of a new era, a strong country, advanced science and technology, and a civilized society, insulated from war, from disasters, and from all bad luck......

"You're such a teacher, you can remember so many words at the age of 5!"

After saying that, I saw Hu Shanshan turn her face and look at me resentfully, I was stunned, and quickly changed my tone to accompany a smile and said, "Do you want to take pictures?" Let's go take a close-up of the Millennium Clock? ”

"If you want to go, shoot it back and transfer it to me"

Hu Shanshan said and shook her palm, and the water droplets in her palm splashed on my face. "I don't want to get in the rain anymore."

Running to take a picture of the bell with a sense of mission, Hu Shanshan waved at me condescendingly. The rain was so heavy that I couldn't hear what she was saying, but the smile on her face was so beautiful and bright as a summer flower.

When I returned with my wet hair on my back, Hu Shanshan was talking to a man who looked like old friends and strangers on a conversation.

Later, Hu Shanshan said to me: As a well-educated teacher, when you see me being polite and reserved when talking to someone, then the other person is either someone I respect or admire, or a stranger who asks for directions.

"You really don't know each other?"

After the man left, I asked Hu Shanshan. "Didn't anyone tell you not to talk to strangers?"

"You know what?"

Hu Shanshan glanced at me with contempt, and while flipping through the photos I took, she said casually: "This is called self-cultivation!" There is less indifference between people, and society is more peaceful. ”

"If a stranger accosted me, the beauty is okay to say, it is not certain whether I can look at the man or not"

"It's strange to have a beautiful woman like you"

"How is that possible?" I was extremely narcissistic and held my chin: "Brother's appearance is also online!" ”

Hu Shanshan was covering her mouth and laughing, when suddenly a strange man's voice came from behind me and asked, "Da Shanshan, you don't have an umbrella, do you?" Give ......"

If gaze could kill people, this guy in front of me, who was half a head taller than me, would have died a hundred times.

"Telling a stranger your name is also self-cultivation?" Seeing this uninvited guest walk out of sight, I asked thoughtlessly.

Hu Shanshan shook off the water droplets attached to the umbrella, triumphant. "Aren't you good-looking? I'll tell you, I'm going to the Revolution Hall now, don't you want to rub the umbrella."

"You didn't answer what you asked, Mr. Hu!"

"Because I don't think I need to explain it to you!"

Hu Shanshan showed a smirk without a smirk, shook the umbrella in her hand at me and said, "And I have to repeat, don't think about rubbing the umbrella, use your online appearance to block the rain." ”
