Chapter 143: Showmanship

Ganquan Park, also known as Quanhu Park, is named because there are springs and lakes in the park.

Although the name is earthy, its spring has great allusions.

An ancient spring in the center, the spring water flows endlessly in all seasons, does not dry up in summer, does not freeze in winter, and has a history of more than 2,000 years. According to historical legend, in 121 BC, the hussar general Huo Quai's expedition to the west against the Xiongnu won a complete victory. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the three armies a reward for wine, but General Huo thought that the credit lay with the whole army, not with himself. Suffering from the fact that there are too many people to drink and too little wine, they pour the wine of the emperor into the spring and drink it with the soldiers, which is also the origin of the name of "sweet spring".

There is also an ancient willow next to the ancient spring, which is beautiful and straight, with swaying branches and leaves, which is said to be planted by Zuo Zongtang during his tenure in the northwest, and is respectfully called "Zuo Gong Willow".

On the stone carving by the spring, the title "Western Han Dynasty Ganquan Victory" is the handwriting of Tingdong, the military envoy of Suzhou during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty.

In the distance, the lake covering an area of several hundred acres is rippling with blue waves, verdant and lovely, and there are antique pavilions on the lake, which are connected with the winding promenade, and the scenery is beautiful. The surrounding shore is lined with willows, catkins are like cotton, and there are large and small pleasure boats shuttling back and forth on the lake, which is people's favorite leisure project.

In the northwest of the Gobi, where there is little water and little rain, and it is summer, it is really commendable to have such a cool and comfortable wetland, which has become the best choice for students to visit the garden.

At this moment, the park is full of colorful flags fluttering, people are moving, bustling, and even a little rubbing shoulders. The school first had a regular assembly and lost no time in carrying out various educational activities, such as the joining of the Young Pioneers and the awarding of awards to outstanding students.

Of course, Cheng Jianghai will not pay attention to these things that have nothing to do with him, standing in the team scratching his ears and cheeks, restless, just waiting for the end of the event, looking for small shops and temporary stalls to buy things, so as to show his generosity in front of Bao Xiaoqi.

Finally, I looked forward to the end of the protracted and lengthy routine, and finally arrived at the time of eating. At the location designated by the teacher, the students began to eat together in a free combination.

Bao Xiaoqi and some female classmates sat on the grass, seeing that everyone opened their lunch boxes and took out all kinds of carefully prepared pastries and food, they couldn't help but become anxious, and turned their heads around to look for Cheng Jianghai's figure, and the girls next to them had already begun to chatter and compete secretly.

"Swallow, what did your parents bring you?"

"It's nothing, this is my mother's fried hairtail and meatballs, do you want to eat it?"

"I want, I want, I like to eat hairtail!"

"And what did you bring?"

"Oh, look, my dad just got me some candy and snacks...... Do you eat this? This is the pastry that my dad brought back from the provincial town, and it is so sweet! ”

"Oops, it's delicious! What does your dad do......"

The competition is showcased, and the display is full of competition, which is a bit snobbish. A girl on the side turned her head and asked suspiciously at Bao Xiaoqi, who had no action: "Alas, Xiaoqi, what delicious food did you bring, take it out and show it to us."

"That's right, you must have prepared more than us, there must be a lot of delicious food, let's share it together!"

Surrounded by everyone's eyes, Bao Xiaoqi's pretty face was already as red as a crab shell, and her eyes as clear as lake water were full of dull shame, she lowered her head and said hesitantly: "I...... I didn't bring anything! ”

Saying this, Bao Xiaoqi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

At this time, Cheng Jianghai ran over with a lot of colorful snacks, sweaty, and relieved Bao Xiaoqi in time: "Xiaoqi, didn't you bring money for me to buy something?" Here, I've bought them all! ”

As he spoke, Cheng Jianghai poured the things he was full of around Bao Xiaoqi in a dashing manner, and surrounded her like a star and moon, like a noble princess, causing a group of snobbish girls around him to exclaim.

"Wow, that's so much, it's too hearty, wow, there's crispy noodles, I like it."

"There's beef jerky here!"

A girl on the side had a starry eye in her eyes, revealing a look of envy, and stepped forward to greet her: "So many, Xiaoqi, are these all what you asked Jiang Hai to buy?" Can we eat it? ”

Bao Xiaoqi exhaled secretly, the charming smile returned to her pretty face, and she nodded very generously: "Well, of course you can." ”

"Great, Xiaoqi, you eat me too, this is the raisins my mother brought me."

"It seems that Xiaoqi is still thoughtful, what can't you buy if you have money! I knew that we also brought money, so I didn't have to walk so far with a lunch box on my back, and I was tired to death. ”

"That's it!"

Listening to the praise of the surrounding warblers and Yanyan, Bao Xiaoqi was very happy in her heart, and turned her head to look at Cheng Jianghai, who was proudly posing, and her eyes flashed with a light similar to happiness.

Seeing this, Cheng Jianghai scratched his head and laughed stupidly.

All of them are big ghosts, especially this group of little girls who are lively in their hearts, looking at the snacks in front of them, and then they are a little long, and a girl shouted: "Oh, it would be better if there were popsicles." ”

"It's just that it's so hot, I'm dying of thirst. Xiaoqi, can you buy some soda to drink? The other girl immediately answered, and then turned her head to look at Bao Xiaoqi with hope.

Bao Xiaoqi's heart tightened, frowned slightly, and looked at Cheng Jianghai with an inquiring look: "This...... Jianghai ......"

Hearing this, Cheng Jianghai's face suddenly darkened, and he secretly complained in his heart.

Just now I was chic and cool, and I had already squandered the fifteen huge sums of money in my pocket, what to use to get popsicles at this time, do you want to exchange two steamed buns with spicy seeds in my schoolbag?

After struggling for a long time, he couldn't show his timidity in front of the women, so he could only hold on to a bitter melon-like smile and stammered: "This...... I'll take a look, I don't know where to sell soda. ”

"Jiang Hai is the best, it's still Jiang Hai!" Everyone shouted and was very happy.

Cheng Jianghai was praised and left in a daze. Hiding in a corner of the woods, pulling a pocket that was cleaner than his face, he pondered for a while, and then came to the soda stand in a melancholy manner, and asked in a panic.

"Auntie, how much is the soda?"

The middle-aged woman who sold soda said calmly: "The bottle is recycled for 5 cents, and the bottle is 8 cents!" How many bottles do you want! ”

Cheng Jianghai opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "5 Mao!" It's too expensive......" Then he suddenly thought of something, grabbed two food stamps from his trouser pocket, and asked curtly, "Hmm...... Auntie, do you think you can buy this? ”

"Oh, it's a food stamp!"

The middle-aged woman who sold soda was a kind-hearted person, took it and took a closer look, and hurriedly persuaded Cheng Jianghai: "Little classmate, this is a national food stamp, how can you use it to buy soda?" ”

Cheng Jianghai scratched his head and said in a tangled manner: "I don't have enough money, can I buy this?" ”

The woman frowned, hesitated for a long time and said, "It's okay to use this, but it's too wasteful, you ...... Do you know that? ”

Hearing that the food stamps could be used, Cheng Jianghai suddenly became happy, and told a lie in passing: "Oh, this is what I picked up." ”

The woman pursed her lips, and didn't think about anything to find gold, and said in a broken thought: "That's the case, the food stamps are expensive, are you sure you want to buy them with this?" ”

"Well, I'm sure!"

"Alright then!"

The woman nodded and said, "I can't take advantage of your child, so let's do it, you have 5 catties of food stamps, and I will count you as the money for 10 bottles of soda." ”

"10 bottles! Ok, good, good! ”

Cheng Jianghai was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that the mere food stamps could be exchanged for so many things, and he would have taken two more if he knew it.

Seeing Cheng Jianghai happily holding the soda bottle and running away, the woman clutched the food stamps in her hand, but her face was full of worry: "This ...... Is this really a pick-up? ”

The mung bean's big brain was completely filled with unexpected joy, Cheng Jianghai didn't notice that in a hidden corner of the park, there were two pairs of gloomy eyes that completely contained this scene.

These two pairs of eyes are from Zhu Sanxun and Lu Deshun, who have a two-sided relationship with Cheng Jianghai.
