Chapter 17: Watching the Show

17.1

As soon as you walk into Jing'an Park, dozens of French plane trees towering on both sides of the straight avenue are like giants in a row. The 32 plane trees were planted in 1897, and more than 100 years later, they are even greener and more lush.

Seats in rows in the shade. In the hot summer, sit on the bench to enjoy the cool heat, don't have a good experience.

In the park, the villains are white-looking, the old people are "Ga Sanhu", and the young people are walking, all enjoying the quiet and comfortable leisure time.

Xiao Xiaolan took her father's hand and jumped to the front. Sister Zhou and Bu Li were behind, and the two of them walked slowly towards the park while talking.

Just across from Jing'an Temple, Jing'an Park is an open urban garden.

The park is not big, but the flowers and trees are in full bloom at four o'clock, the green trees are shady, the small bridge is murmuring, and the Jing'an Temple on Nanjing Road in Shanghai is a rare green space, which definitely gives people an unexpected sense of being hidden in the city!

Because it is located in the downtown area, today is a Sunday, and there are many tourists in the park.

Walking inside, there is a small lake with an area of about 400 square meters in the park, which is winding and quiet. There was a white mist in the pool, and the smoke was misty.

The water lilies in the lake are blooming, and the petals are opening one after another. From the morphological point of view, there are two kinds of water and floating water, the water lotus is swaying and colorful, and the floating water lotus is quiet and elegant. The colors are bright and rich: purple, pink, white, red----, and even blue water lilies, which are rare.

The lake is also planted with 5 raffles, with large round leaves that fit into the water like giant sieves.

Little Blue ran around the lake and had a lot of fun.

On both sides of the walkway between the lake and the mountains and forests in the center of the park, a group of Han Dynasty stone rap figurines are arranged. They are all eyebrows fluttering, vivid images, and extremely expressive.

Next to the lake, there is a large and a small, two rhinoceros sculptures looking at each other affectionately. Little Blue was particularly interested in these two rhinos, and with the help of her father, she climbed up and down non-stop.

Walking further inside, it suddenly dawned: separated by trees, in front of it was a large and spacious lawn with an area of about 2,500 square meters.

Today is a few families of children in Xiaoxiaolan Kindergarten, meeting to come out to play together.

The children are already waiting for Little Blue at the white marble pavilion by the lawn. When they all met, Xiao Xiaolan disappeared after a while.

Sister Zhou greeted her husband and asked him to look at her daughter more, while she and Buli went to the teahouse to drink tea.

A teahouse was built in the park. The style of the teahouse is Chinese Song Dynasty architecture, and there are also shadows of Western elements, and the walls are made of whole glass. Sitting in the back compartment, it's quite elegant. Drinking tea under the weeding plants, looking out the window at the green lawn in the park and the children running, so leisurely.

Bu Li looked at the cheerful scene of the children outside the window, seemed to be fascinated, and murmured: "What a beautiful thing, what a happy little friend!" ”

Sister Zhou laughed at Bu Li: "What is there to envy about this, you can do it completely?" ”

Bu Li smiled, but his eyes were reluctant to leave for a moment.

"You didn't follow your mom to People's Park today?" Sister Zhou took a sip of tea and asked.

Brie shook his head, and then turned around.

"To be honest, going to that kind of place always gives me the feeling that I am desperate to marry myself off." Buli held the coffee cup in his hand and said, "Although I have a heart that is eager to be a 'housewife', I don't want to show such an eager desire. ”

Sister Zhou smiled and asked, "Are you really not in a hurry now?" ”

"Is there a hurry?"

Bu Li leaned back on the rattan chair, sighed, and said: "Whenever a colleague in the unit talks about getting married, I will say 'no hurry, I don't want to get married for the sake of getting married, it's good to be alone, free' and so on, in fact, I don't seem to pay attention to it on the outside, and sometimes I even want to say that I am frigid---"

Sister Zhou was happy and said with a smile: "Is there anyone like you who say about yourself?" ”

"Isn't it because you're in a hurry?" Bu Li put down the coffee cup, added a spoonful of creamer again, and said slowly while stirring,

"Time is a pig-killing knife. If you think about it, I don't have any special appearance, and if I don't use a few knives, I will probably be 'unsalable' for a lifetime! ”

"Where, where. You were the school girl of our high school back then, so you can cut it? Sister Zhou said with a smile.

Bu Li smiled and said, "It's still a school flower, so far you don't laugh at me." I'm still self-aware at this point, okay? ”

Sister Zhou looked at Bu Li and only smiled.

"Look, I slept for a day yesterday, and I didn't sleep with dark circles under my eyes. When I went out in the morning, I put on a light makeup to dare to come to the door, do you know? ”

Nothing to say for a while.

After a while, Sister Zhou suddenly said: "In the photo you sent me a few days ago, the scenery of Wang Youjie's hometown is really good, and it is a good place with mountains and rivers." ”

Bu Li nodded with a smile and said, "It's actually more intelligent than the photo." ”

Sister Zhou took a sip of green tea and said, "I didn't expect you to go to Huzhou this time, or even to Wang Youjie's house." To be honest, with your character, you have the courage to do this, and it really impresses me. ”

Bree took a sip of his coffee and didn't speak.

"And what the hell do you think now?" Sister Zhou stared at Bu Li and asked.

Bu Li thought for a moment and said, "I think what Xiaolu said that day, as well as what my cousin said, have some truth. However, now he and I, to be honest, are far from getting to know each other---"

"You mean, basically, accept his current situation?"

"Later, I thought about this question myself, in fact, how much does the situation in his family have to do with me?"

After a pause, Boo Li continued, "Xiao Lu is actually not wrong, the situation in his family is indeed very ordinary. But it's not so bad that it can't be delayed, and even to a certain extent, it can help somewhat, not to say that it's very bad, right? ”

Sister Zhou was silent.

Bu Li thought for a while and said, "Besides, his current income, it shouldn't be a big problem for one person to support the monthly payment of a suite in Shanghai, right?" ”

Sister Zhou smiled and said, "It's right for you to think like this." In fact, as long as the income is stable and you can find a way to solve the problem of down payment on the house, you can basically live a better life in Shanghai, and Wang Youjie can be regarded as having a foothold in Shanghai. ”

"Yes, I think so too, that's why I thought about going down and seeing if I could have a chance." Bu Li picked up the coffee cup and said, "The three views that my cousin said that day, this is also something that you need more contact to know?" ”

"Oh, I see." Sister Zhou smiled and said, "That's why you came to me today, asking me to help you find a way to create opportunities for you to have more contact with him in the future?" ”
