Chapter 158: Rendezvous after dusk
Su Ying and Zhang An each held a big marshmallow, which attracted attention on the road.
The boss asked Zhang An to enlarge this marshmallow, which is bigger than a basketball.
The children they met along the road stared intently at the marshmallows in their hands.
Then he looked at the marshmallows in his hands, and there were big question marks in his little head.
As if thinking in my mind, why mine is so small and theirs is so big.
And many children who didn’t buy marshmallows were acting up with their adults.
Zhang An also didn’t expect that he just bought a marshmallow and advertised it to his boss.
Now he felt panicked about the loss and was thinking about asking his boss to pay the advertising fee.
Su Ying was not embarrassed to eat the marshmallows, so she just held them in her hand because many adults were looking at them on the road.
Zhang An doesn't have so many ideas. Who is not a baby?
After all, Zhang An is still a 240-month-old baby.
The square in People's Park is very large, although half of it is used for the Lantern Festival stage.
But there are still a lot left, and there are many performances in other places in the square at the moment.
Such as magic shows and some traditional tricks.
Zhang An and Su Ying walked to the side of the magic show. The magician was performing a performance of putting coins through glass bottles.
Su Ying stared at the magician's hand with great interest.
But Zhang An was not interested. He was quite curious in his previous life.
But then short videos filled everyone’s lives, and many people made instructional videos for such magic tricks.
Zhang An knew the principle, so he really couldn't arouse any interest.
But Zhang An was watching with Su Ying, and he didn't say anything about exposing her.
After all, this is other people’s lives, and doesn’t it bring happiness to many people?
After staying at the magic stall for a while, the two of them went to watch the acrobatics.
An old man in his fifties breathed out a puff of fire.
The adults and children watching nearby applauded unstintingly.
Then a man wearing facial makeup came out and started to perform face changing for everyone.
This stuff is real skill, you have to practice it from a young age so that no one can see the flaws.
Zhang An sighed, you can still see these now, but in the future, even if you want to see them, there will be no place to see them.
It is not easy to be a craftsman like this. Zhang An immediately took out ten yuan and put it in the cash box as a way to support our intangible cultural heritage.
When the person performing the face-changing show saw it, he came close to Zhang An and took turns changing the tricks again for Zhang An and the others to see.
At the end of the performance, I took off my facial makeup and bowed to Zhang An.
With Zhang An taking the lead, many children are willing to put their pocket money into the cash box.
Even if it is only a cent or two, the stall owners bow to everyone and thank everyone, without any distinction.
While walking, the two came to a pedestrian street.
There are more people setting up stalls here, including those playing balloons and making hoops.
Especially there are many stalls selling hoops.
Some people display dolls, but of course the workmanship is incomparable with the stuffed toys of later generations.
Some people display various small toys, hairpins, etc., anyway, there are many kinds.
Zhang An's hands were itchy for a moment and he wanted to play a little.
“Have you ever played this?”
Su Ying shook her head. They didn't have this here when they were children.
Sometimes later, when I was no longer young, I didn’t mean it.
"Then what do you like, I'll get it back for you."
Seeing the excitement in Zhang An's eyes, Su Ying knew that he wanted to play.
After thinking about it, I pointed to the beautiful hairpins next to me.
Listening to Zhang An’s words, the boss shook his head. He had seen many such people.
Zhang An bought a ring for ten yuan for the boss, and the boss said he was a big customer.
But soon he began to be dumbfounded.
Zhang An looked at the hairpins Su Ying pointed out just now.
Swish, swish, swish, a few circles were thrown out, and all the places where the cards were placed hit.
The boss was dumbfounded and took out a few hairpins and handed them to the two of them.
Then Su Ying pointed to the rag doll next to her.
Zhang An suddenly hit another one.
Every time Zhang was caught in the trap, the boss’s eyelids were twitching.
Waiting until Su Ying was holding a bunch of rag dolls in her hands, Zhang An still had less than half of the ten-dollar circle left.
This boss is almost crying now.
The stall owner who was very close to him saw this situation.
While no one is coming to buy a ring, we quickly close the stall.
"Brother, why don't I give you a break, and you can go somewhere else to play. It's a small business that can't afford to do this."
The boss forced a smile and said Zhang An spoke, but his smile was no different from crying.
"Is there anything else you want?"
Seeing Zhang An ask Su Ying next to him with a smile, the boss knew that the decision rested with her.
So when looking at Su Ying, her eyes were filled with pleading eyes.
Su Ying did not intend to embarrass others, after all, doing business is not easy.
So I can’t talk to Zhang An anymore.
"Boss, find us a bag to put it in. I won't wear it."
Hearing this, the stall owner quickly found a big bag for Su from his pocket. Ying dressed rag doll.
When it was finally time to give Zhang An money, Zhang An waved his hand.
“There’s no need to look for it. I’m actually a little embarrassed for trapping you in so many things.”
This boss is quite nice. He didn’t see Zhang’s accuracy and started cheating. .
Such stall owners are rare in later generations.
Hearing this, the boss kept saying thank you.
Although the money to be refunded is not much, mosquito legs are also meat, so stop losing money.
The two of them played in the park for a long time, and there were people everywhere.
So I walked to the lake and found a chair to rest for a while.
“Why are you so powerful?”
“There are many things I am good at, hehe.”
Zhang An took out a particularly beautiful hairpin and gave it to Su Ying clamped it in her hair.
After looking at it, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Zhang An, tell me about the time you hunted wild boars before."
After Su Ying found out about this matter last time, she wanted to ask about it, but she didn't have the nerve to ask before, and she didn't have the chance later.
Now that the two of them were alone, Su Ying wanted to ask Zhang An to find out.
"This matter is complicated to talk about. I will explain it to you slowly after listening."
Su Ying thought it was really complicated, but now she looked serious. He looked serious and prepared to listen to what Zhang An had to say.
"It is said that chaos has not yet been divided, Hongmeng has just opened, and the world is in chaos."
Su Ying originally listened seriously, but when Zhang An opened his mouth, she felt something was so wrong.
"Tell me about Journey to the West."
Su Ying picked up two small fists with some annoyance and beat Zhang An on the chest.
I listened to what he said seriously, but this man made up nonsense, which is really annoying.
“Hahahaha, I was wrong.”
Seeing Su Ying like this, Zhang An pulled her into his arms and covered her with his coat.
"The thing is like this, last summer, Zhou Yang's mother was chased by a big wild boar in the fields." Su Ying was hugged by Zhang An, and after struggling for a few times, she fell naturally. Leaning in Zhang An's arms.
Listen to Zhang An telling the story from beginning to end.
I heard Zhang An jumping down from a high ridge alone, holding a steel fork and stabbing it into the neck of the wild boar.
She was a little fascinated. Girls all have dreams. She was also a little pity that the person Zhang An saved at that time was not her but Huang Ming.
However, after hearing Zhang An stabbing the wild boar to the ground later, he also fell to the ground without any strength.
She couldn't help but hold on to Zhang An's clothes.
This is the real world, not some big talk about Journey to the West.
“When times are so dangerous in the future, don’t stand alone, it’s very dangerous.”
"Yeah, I understand. I won't be in the limelight anymore."
The concern from his girlfriend seems to be different from the concern from his mother.
Although there were dim street lights on the roadside, Zhang An felt that the weak lights were not as bright as the moonlight in the sky.
The two of them just stayed by the river quietly. It happened that no one was passing by and no one was disturbing them.
"Have you missed me these days?" Zhang An whispered softly in his girlfriend's ear.
A puff of hot air blew into Su Ying's ears, and Su Ying felt like she was going soft.
"Yeah."
With the soft fragrance in her arms, Su Ying murmured, making Zhang An hug her tighter.
Under the yellowish street light, the two people looked at each other.
Zhang An couldn't hold back the ripples in his heart, and leaned forward with his head lowered towards Su Ying's showy mouth.
When Su Ying saw Zhang An looking for her with his head lowered, she did not dodge and slowly closed her eyes.
In this dark park, two thumping hearts melted together.
After lingering for a long time, Zhang An was willing to let go of these seductive lips.
Su Ying's body had already collapsed and she was leaning on Zhang An's arms.
The relationship between the two has become even more inseparable.
The activities in the square started at four o'clock in the afternoon and ended at nine o'clock.
Zhang An and his two men walked around the lake and came back. They found that the crowds in the square just now had all dispersed.
Looking at the time, it’s getting late, and it’s time to go home.
Along the way, Zhang An encountered a barbecue stall.
It has been a long time since dinner. At this moment, Zhang An smelled the scent of cumin and chili powder and felt a little greedy.
But I wasn’t hungry, I just went to the roadside and bought some mutton skewers and grilled sausages.
The two of them ate all the way home.
"Zhang An, when can your black goat be eaten?"
Su Ying is now a bit of a foodie. She was eating mutton skewers in her mouth, and she was thinking about Zhang An's black goat. goat.
"Well, a few months, it should be quite a long time."
This little lamb was born less than a month ago, and now I am thinking about eating it, will it be a little bit Too early.
No, it’s a bit too cruel to it.
"When I go back, I will buy a few more and keep them. When we want to eat, we can kill them and eat them anytime."
Zhang An made up his mind to go to Wang Mingqian's house after he returns. Ask if their other sheep are for sale.
If he is willing to sell, Zhang An would like to buy a few more and keep them in the space.
Then you can eat whatever you want and realize the free taste of mutton.
After finishing the meat skewers in their hands, the two of them walked from the square downstairs.
After accompanying Su Ying upstairs, Zhang An sat for a while and was about to get up and drive back to Changqing.
Wu Qiuping saw that it was so late and Zhang An was still thinking about going back, and she was a little unhappy at the moment.
"It's so late and it's not safe for you to drive. You're not allowed to go back tonight. I've packed up the room. You can rest here tonight."
Zhang An Seeing that his future mother-in-law was not very happy and said she was not allowed to leave, Zhang An immediately gave up the idea of going back.
"Okay aunt, I won't go back then. I'll call home."
Seeing that Zhang An was not leaving, Wu Qiuping regained her smile and let him go and call her. Telephone.
After Wang Fang received the call at home, she heard that Zhang An said that she would not be able to go back tonight.
She didn't say anything, just told Zhang An to go back whenever she wanted.
Su Ying's house is a three-bedroom house in the county town.
There are three rooms, one for Su Ying, one for Su Shaowen and the others, and one is empty.
This was originally Su Ying's sister's room, but after she got married, it was used as a guest room.
Zhang An didn't have the bad habit of being unable to fall asleep in bed, so he fell asleep quickly while lying on the bed.
Wake up and sleep early the next morning.
Listening to the noise in the living room, Su Shaowen and his wife had already gotten up.
“Why don’t you sleep more?”
“I’m used to getting up at this point, and I can’t fall asleep even if I sleep more.”
After Zhang An washed up, Su Ying also Already up.
She usually sleeps a little longer, but today Zhang An is here, and Zhang An will leave soon, so she wants to get up and see Zhang An out.
After Zhang An got up, Wu Qiuping quickly made breakfast.
Wu Qiuping waited until Zhang An finished eating before letting him go.
Zhang An originally wanted to go home directly, but after driving out of the city, he remembered that today was already the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
The new year is over, and the seed company should be at work by now.
Zhang An turned around and went back again, planning to stop by the seed company and buy seeds.
Sure enough, Zhang An arrived at the door of the seed company, and the door was already open.
But no one is going in now.
Zhang Anjin entered and several staff members who were chatting stopped their communication.
"Hello, what kind of seeds do you need?"
One of the older, middle-aged men walked up to Zhang An and asked Zhang An what he needed.
"Um, I want to buy some strawberry seeds and watermelon seeds."
As soon as the salesman in front of him heard Zhang An's needs, he took him to the counter nearby.
I brought out several kinds of strawberry seeds in different packages and told Zhang An about their advantages and disadvantages.
It seems that this guy is pretty good. Not only did he introduce it carefully, but he also explained clearly the advantages and disadvantages to Zhang An.
This is much better than that of later generations. Salesmen in later generations basically talked about the good and not the bad.
After asking Zhang An a few questions, the old man smiled and recommended a new variety of strawberry to Zhang An.
It is suitable for outdoor cultivation and is consistent with the local climate and temperature. It is said that it is okay in terms of fruit size and sweetness.
What this guy focuses on is sincerity. It doesn’t matter whether a position like theirs can be sold or not. It’s a state-owned enterprise anyway.
Finally, Zhang An bought two packs of new varieties of strawberry seeds.
But when it came to watermelon seeds, Zhang An was not satisfied after looking at several types.
In the end, I bought a local small watermelon with flower skin, which is a kind of unicorn melon.
Although it is called a small watermelon with flower skin, it is not very small. Under normal conditions, it can grow to a size of five or six pounds.
And the rind of this kind of watermelon is not thick. When I was young, the rind might be slightly thicker.
But as the watermelon grows older, the skin becomes thinner and thinner.
When it is mature, its fleshy flesh and meaty texture will be sweet and delicious.
Although its skin is thin, it is not easy to collapse, so it is easy to transport.
Zhang An feels that the only disadvantage is that it is not big, resulting in low output.
But Zhang An still chose this one, for no other reason than that it has been grown locally for so many years and is definitely the most suitable variety here.
Then Zhang An bought some other vegetable seeds, making the salesman think he was here to purchase.
After finishing this, Zhang An went back home.
