Chapter 28 Recalling Xiaoman, having dinner and having fun and visiting Longgang

This is the first time I have been shopping with a girl in my life. It’s true that there is nothing wrong with me. When I was dating Zhu Xiaoman before, she might have known that I was short of money. Anyway, we have never visited the mall, let alone bought things, and I don’t want to go, mainly because we can’t stand the strange look of the salesperson. Yes, we can’t afford it, and we feel uncomfortable, but it feels even worse to be looked down upon.

We had been to Chaoyang Market once. I remember that it was the third week after we decided on November 22, 1997, at 2:20 pm. During the Xiaoxue solar term, the weather was beautiful, and the first light snow in Pengcheng was as expected. It was very thin, but it made the whole city look white and flawless.

The train had just arrived at the East Railway Station. As soon as the door opened, I jumped off. Although the whole trip only took less than an hour, it was a long-distance old-fashioned slow train heading to XJ. The carriage was noisy, and the luggage rack, under the seats, and under the washbasin were filled with luggage. The smell of sweat and smoke were mixed with the smell of urine seeping out of the toilet, which almost didn't suffocate.

After getting off the bus, the platform was filled with people, and I followed the crowd toward the exit. This was the first time I took a train from my hometown county town. I used to take a car before, but it wasn't because it was snowing and the road was slippery, so I was afraid it was unsafe.

As soon as we left the exit, Zhu Xiaoman was already waiting there. Her home was in the northwest of Pengcheng District, 20 miles from the East Railway Station, the school was in the south, and 12 miles from the Zhu Xiaoman's house. The three of them happened to form a triangle. She knew that I was back today, so she came to the station to pick me up.

After seeing me, she hurriedly held my hand and turned to the right, and went to Chaoyang Market. After wandering around, she finally stopped at the second floor near the north selling yarn. She asked me what color I like, and I said, why are you asking me? I won’t buy it.

She said, my cousin is coming back for the Chinese New Year, I am going to knit a scarf for my cousin. Recently, I have studied with my classmates for several days. Yesterday, I learned from my mother how to close the edges at home, and finally I can get started. Besides, I want to give him a surprise. As a man, you must know what color men like.

Oh, I almost burst into laughter and cried, and raised her mouth with my hand. Classmate, what theory is this? Do all men like the same? For example, I like you, just like Chen Yu likes Wen Zhengrong in your class (Wen Zhengrong has been studying for four years before getting into college, and is several years older than us. She has experienced the vicissitudes of time, and everyone calls her an aunt).

Oh, I hate it, are you in a positive state? I just want you to provide an opinion. Why are you thinking so much?

OK, OK, I won’t be able to stop talking!

Well, this is almost the same, hurry up and say it! She put her hand around my neck and begged.

OK, okay, I said, purple! I reached out to help her warm her ears.

Humph, I'll just finish it. Hello, boss, I want to ask, how much wool is needed to knit a scarf?

As a result, who would have thought that this silly girl didn't even pay back the price. People said that 1 pound and 2 taels were enough, and she immediately had to pay for 30 yuan. I quickly stopped her, and finally, with my insistence, it was done for 22 yuan.

After she came out, she said that I had made meritorious service and saved 8 yuan. She wanted to spend it on me. She wanted to buy two sticky corn, and each of them started to chew. After gnawing the corn, she had to take a bus back to school. Zhu Xiaoman was unwilling and insisted on walking back. The train station was more than 10 miles away from the school. Well, since she had such a good mood, I could only accompany her.

We walked south along the Yellow River West Road. At the beginning, she was still jogging all the way, full of interest, jumping and jumping. When she arrived at Qiligou, she couldn't do it, especially when she crossed the Lion Bridge (because there are many little lions on the bridge, we call it Lion Bridge). It was a long uphill. I pulled her and dragged a pig. After finally crossing the bridge, she was playing tricks again and said that she would sit on the bridge railing and rest, and just rest. After being tossed by her, I was very tired.

Sitting on the bridge, watching the vehicles and crowds coming and going, Zhu Xiaoman leaned his head on my shoulder. For a moment, I suddenly felt that everything was so unreal. A month ago, I was still a lone man, but now I am inseparable from Zhu Xiaoman, and I don’t see each other for a day, like three autumns after another. With a rapid whistle, I returned to reality from the illusion.

Let's go. I jumped off the railing, picked up the backpack she placed under my feet with my left hand, and held her arm with my right hand.

Oh, she won't leave, she won't leave. She sat on the railing, shaking her legs, and shouted repeatedly.

It was almost here, only two or three miles away. I quickly advised softly.

But I was so tired that I had never walked such a long way, and my legs hurt. She frowned and said with a bitter face.

I feel more tired as I rest, and there are no buses here?

Hehe, I have a good idea.

Hum? What's the solution? Let's hear it.

You turned around and she said mysteriously.

OK. I turned around and turned my back to her. She jumped from the railing to my back, holding my neck tightly with both hands. I quickly held her butt with both hands and lifted it up.

She turned her face sideways, and said in a whisper, "I'm going to set off," she said.

Those scenes were like movies, and they were put in my mind over and over again. A week later, she gave me a scarf, and I realized that it turned out that the wool I bought for me that day.

Until today, I realized that girls do not have to buy things when shopping. As long as they go shopping, they will be very happy, feel comfortable and never get tired of watching.

Zhen Shanmei took a fancy to an imported lipstick at the cosmetics counter, priced at 120 yuan. She tried it on the spot and asked me if it was good. Actually, I didn’t know what it looked good or not. I just thought it was a bit too red, but I still nodded and said it was good and the colors were so bright. She bought it without hesitation. I always felt that in addition to being good at singing and dancing, there was another characteristic of ethnic minorities that prefer makeup, hahaha.

As noon approached, Zhen Shanmei wanted to take us to dinner. She walked straight south along KFC, about 200 meters. There was a "Red Lantern Northeast Restaurant" on the second street that was walking in the west of Longgang Avenue. Seeing Zhen Shanmei being familiar with the road, she probably came often. After everyone sat down, she didn't give in and ordered the dishes directly.

The first one to bring was the "sauce skeleton". A large pot was filled with fragrance and steaming. I was going to pick it up with chopsticks, but it was not suitable for picking it up. Zhen Shanmei smiled and patted my shoulder and said, "Oh, you stupid guy, don't you have plastic gloves? Wear gloves and get started directly. The fun of eating sauce skeleton is that you don't have to worry about any image, just pick it up and chew it.

The skeleton of this sauce tastes really good. It is indeed the first time I have eaten it. It is very tasty. The meat doesn't feel tickle at all. Instead, it has the feeling of beef that is refreshing, especially the snowflake on the other end, and there is a soft rib on the top. It is neither tickle nor greasy, and the taste is strong and fragrant. Everyone chews, sucks, and picks it all. Anyway, they can't even let go of a trace of fascia in the end. It makes the hand oily and the meaty smell full of taste. Everyone enjoys eating it and praises them all.

After eating the sauce skeleton, we served with chicken stewed mushrooms, shredded potatoes, ants climbing trees and other dishes. We also served 4 bottles of Jinwei beer, which was so cool. Finally, we paid 85 yuan. Each of the five of us shared 17 yuan and handed it to Zhen Shanmei. I asked Zhen, and a sauce skeleton cost 18 yuan.

Since I learned about this place, it has become my first choice for dinner in Longgang. I later brought Hou Hong to eat, Lao Bian and Jiang Ming to eat, and Xue Jian to eat. Later, after I got the conditions myself, the first dish I learned to cook was the sauce skeleton. In that year, the deliciousness of the sauce skeleton accompanied me and many classmates through the poor and green years.

After lunch, Li Hongmei was going to the amusement park. The amusement park was right in Longgang Town, not far away, so we walked over directly.

As soon as I entered the door, oh, I was dizzy. I knew what it was. I thought the owner of the amusement park must have been in the highest "cannon tower" at the door and laughed at the scene. After waiting for more than half an hour, I finally bought a group purchase ticket. Entering the door, several clowns were using water guns to "fight" the tourists, and then a few cute cartoon real dolls were welcoming us.

The first thing that caught my eye was the high roller coaster, which was said to be the largest in Shenzhen. There were too many people in line, so I continued to walk forward, stopped in front of the tornado and looked at it, hanging people on it and rolling back and forth, which made me frightened.

There were too many people, and there were long queues everywhere. Finally, I found that there were very few people in the "Mexican Straw Hat". However, I happened to meet the supervisor Shi Zhanghua from the Quality Inspection Department and several of her fellow villagers. She was very bad. When playing with the "Mexican Straw Hat", the girl opposite was fainted and vomited her one arm, depressed. She gave me a shadow before playing. When I was queuing up, I felt really uncomfortable in my "tummy" and I always felt like I wanted to vomit without sitting on it.

I really went up, Mei Qing and I spent the chat, not exciting. There were too many people queuing up in the screaming area, and then we found a game with fewer people to play. The double-layer carousel was very romantic, especially the bubbles rising from below, and the atmosphere was very good. Mei Qing and Li Hongmei and the others had a lot of fun playing.

Then we played the rotating cup and we found the rotation and rotation. As a result, our rotation speed was very fast, and Zhen Shanmei was dizzy.^_^, everyone else stopped, but the three of us were still spinning there. Later, we found a little stimulating hot wheel with a 360-degree rotation. We played with our classmates before when we went to Luoyang. At that time, we felt it was very exciting and we still dared to play.
Chapter completed!
