47. Exotic Spring Festival (ask for collection)
Ectopic plane, afternoon of January 31, 1995.
John was wearing a thick cotton coat around Peggy, and Peggy was wearing a pink hat on her head.
Peggy, who seems to have a cold temperament, is very cute...
It's just past noon in the United States, and it's already the Chinese New Year.....
Looking at the streets with red lanterns everywhere, John and Peggy strolled through Chinatown, which is full of strong New Year's flavor.
Of course, there are also many Americans like John and Peggy, as well as Chinese Americans with joy on their faces. The two merge into the crowd, and John explains to Peggy the decorations, the food, and the souvenirs.
Peggy listened with interest to John's commentary....
Sometimes John haggled with the vendor in Mandarin, and when he couldn't get along, he would pull Peggy out of the stall, and the boss asked and said that it was negotiable.
John explains to Peggy that his mother had taught him Mandarin when he was a child, and that he had really learned it beforehand, but he was not proficient in it.....
The two laughed and ran away, and when Peggy came across something he liked, John would check out and buy it with interest.
Walked around for an afternoon.
John didn't buy much himself.....
I bought Peggy a lot of knick-knacks, all of which were hand-woven crafts.
The two of them walked comfortably on the street, and the two of them whispered to each other in their ears.....
The maltose doll in Peggy's hand is elongated and stretched into the shape of a doll with maltose, and he licks it from time to time, and John's face is red and dry (don't think about it).....
It's freezing, it's cold.....
The two of them were tired of shopping, and John looked at Peggy, who had a tired face, and said:
"Why don't we go to the coffee spot in front for some hot drinks and take a break"
"Well, okay. It's so lively. I've been in Boston for so long. I've never seen anything like it."
When John heard this, he pulled Peggy to the coffee shop in front of him....
John arranges Peggy in an empty seat, puts away what he just bought, and asks Peggy what she was drinking.
Peggy said nostalgically, "Hot Cocoa"
He also said that his mother didn't let him drink it, saying that it was high in sugar....
The funny John looked at the little girlish Peggy, who was usually Peggy was a cold fan, and now it was the posture that matched her age....
John raised his hand and motioned for the waiter to order two cups of hot cocoa and two tiramisu cakes.
"Lady Linda is kind.."
"Hmph"
Peggy rolls her eyes at John when she is still pleasing her mother...
”...........”
John looked at Peggy with an innocent smile....
Luckily, the waiter broke the ice between the two by serving them a cup of hot cocoa and placing two portions of tiramisu on the table.....
Peggy's eyes were quickly attracted by the cake in front of her, and she picked up a small spoon and scooped up a small piece of cake and put it into Pink Dudu's mouth, her face full of enjoyment...
Looking at Peggy, who was eating happily, she exhaled deeply. Thought:
"Good Risk"
Sometimes when you watch others eat and have fun, you feel happy.
Stir the hot cocoa in your hand with a spoon...
Feeling that Peggy's piece might not be enough, John pushes his untouched tiramisu over to Peggy...
After Peggy looked at it, the corners of her little face and mouth were slightly upturned, feeling that she was interested. Continue to deal with the tiramisu in front of you...
It seems that girls of all ages are not reluctant to come to sweets.....
Later, John motioned for the waiter to serve three more pieces of tiramisu, and John ate one for himself, and gave the rest to Peggy........
After resting for a while, John asks Peggy if she is enough, and the latter looks at the former angrily.
”........”
John, who realized it later, knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized....
Peggy looked at the apologetic John and snorted arrogantly:
"For the sake of you inviting me to eat, forgive you"
Before settling the bill, John also packed a few tiramisu to take away....
Looking at the sky that was a little late, the two discussed that they would go here today, and it was not too early.
"Peggy, you wait for me here first. I'm going to stop the car."
"Okay"
John went ahead to hail a taxi, and John quickly stopped the car.
After getting into the car, he motioned for the driver to stop on the side of the road in front of him, and his friend was still outside the café.
John waved to Peggy, got out of the car and opened the door for Peggy to get in...
The car arrived at Peggy's house on the side of the road, and John took Peggy's purchase to the house with the items he had purchased today, but it was a little late and John didn't go in. After handing the things in his hand to Peggy, he said that he would take his leave first, and said:
"Then I'll go first, I had a great time today, thank you Peggy"
"Me too, stay safe"
John leaned down and hugged Peggy, patted her on the back, and randomly turned and walked to the taxi that was waiting for him....
Peggy smiled and squinted at John's background, and opened the door to enter the house as the vehicle disappeared from view.....
The taxi driver, who seemed to be a talkative man, quipped:
"Your girlfriend is so beautiful, you're so lucky"
"She, she's not a girlfriend. We've been good friends since we were kids."
John said embarrassedly, his heart was beating a little pounding, and he felt like someone had broken his mind....
"yes, it looks like I'm looking away. Young people, sometimes it is just about grasping the people around them."
The driver said meaningfully to John, who had a tangled face........
John silently watched the scene outside the car window retreat frame by frame, and the images of his memories with Peggy flashed in his mind......
On the other end of the spectrum....
When Peggy returned home, she packed up the items she had bought, and looked at the packed tiramisu cake gift box, Peggy smiled slightly.
Peggy's mother, Linda, saw her daughter come home and knew that she and John had gone shopping in downtown Chinatown today...
"Why did you come back so early, John? Is Boston's Chinatown fun, I haven't been to it yet, next time I go I'll call John as a tour guide. You know, after all these years of coming to Boston, I haven't been to Chinatown. ”
Linda gossiped to her daughter about what happened to them today...
"It's still early? It's getting dark. What do you say, don't blame me? ”
Linda looked at the sky outside and smiled awkwardly.......
Peggy couldn't help but angrily hand the cake in her hand to her mother....
I want to plug her mouth with a cake, and don't ask about my daughter's gossip all day long...
”.........”
Linda took the packing box and said speechlessly..............
After handing over the packing box, Peggy's mother, who didn't want to pay attention to her gossip, turned around and walked upstairs........
"Tell me what's interesting about Chinatown. Don't go, baby."
"Mom, I'm tired now, and I've been shopping for a long time. I'm going to rest first, and you can eat less cake. If you are high in calories, you will gain weight."
Peggy's lazy voice came from upstairs.....
“..........”
Linda listened to her baby daughter, who usually walks in a cold manner, teasing herself..........
Back on John's side, the chatty driver told him about the interesting things he had encountered recently, and John echoed and laughed with him at the right time.......
John remembered the funny driver's number and said he needed to call him in his car next time.....
