Chapter 2 True Love Little Wonton
Xu Xiaofen is very good-looking, fair and clean, soft and frail, a typical southern girl, but her eyes look a bit dull and she looks cute, which may be a characteristic.
In the past, when we went home together after school, Wang Sihai would always say that she liked Jiang Nan. Xu Xiaofen would always blush, look at Jiang Nan secretly, and stop talking.
Jiang Nan's face darkened, and Wang Sihai laughed out loud when he saw their faces, and then was beaten up by Jiang Nan.
The three of them wandered to the wonton shop. There was a large stove built at the door of the shop. Wontons were cooking in the pot, and the mist was rising. Xu Xiaofen's mother, Wang Xia, stood busy in front of the pot.
The three of them stood at the door of the store and looked into the store, and they were all stunned.
The shop was full of people, Xu Xiaofen glanced at Jiang Nan, who was frowning next to her, and secretly felt a little anxious.
"Mom, why are there so many people?" Xu Xiaofen said with a frown.
"You kid, you're not happy with the good business." Wang Xia saw her daughter and said with a doting look on her face. She turned around and said hello to Jiang Nan and Wang Sihai: "Jiang Nan, Sihai, you are here too, wait a moment.
, Auntie will cook some wontons for you later."
"Hello, Auntie! Auntie, you don't have to worry about us, you are busy first." Jiang Nan greeted with a smile.
"Auntie, you are busy. We don't want to eat. We have other things to do." Wang Sihai pulled Jiang Nan and said, winking at Jiang Nan.
"Sihai, what do you want? You can leave after eating." Jiang Nan said without knowing why.
"If you go late, you won't have a chance." Wang Sihai came over and whispered.
Only then did Jiang Nan understand that Wang Sihai wanted to get him to play games, but as a middle-aged uncle who was almost forty, he had already played all kinds of computer games in his previous life and had no interest in the games of this era.
The game consoles of this era look similar to the game consoles in the arcades of previous generations, but they are not as high-end and the graphics are poor.
A tall machine with a picture tube screen embedded inside. In front of the screen are two sets of operating joysticks and buttons, embedded in wooden boards. Two children sat on a long bench, tapping the buttons hard and shaking the joysticks crazily.
, and shouted the ultimate command: "Bake pancakes..."
"If you don't have a machine, you don't have a machine. Little wontons are true love. I just want to eat a bowl of little wontons today." Jiang Nan stopped Wang Sihai who wanted to run away.
Wang Sihai pursed his lips and whispered: "Xu Xiaofen is your true love."
Xu Xiaofen suddenly blushed.
Jiang Nan glared at him and said, "Go get the wontons."
Wang Sihai shrank his neck, stopped talking, and went to serve the wontons.
Xu Xiaofen glanced at Jiangnan and whispered: "No, no need."
After eating two bowls of small wontons, Jiang Nan patted his belly with satisfaction. He had already eaten breakfast and he would not be able to hold on anymore.
A bowl of wontons cost one yuan. Wang Sihai ate a bowl, so he counted out three yuan and got up to find Wang Xia to pay. Aunt Wang took it with a smile, completely ignoring Xu Xiaofen's resentful eyes.
Seeing that her mother ignored her, Xu Xiaofen pouted, walked to Wang Xia, took a five-dollar note from the small bucket where the money was kept, and said: "Mom, I have no pocket money, so take five dollars.
" Without waiting for her mother's consent, she turned around and chased Jiang Nan and the two who had already left the store.
Wang Xia shook her head helplessly, thinking that her daughter was really outgoing, so she sighed and continued to cook wontons.
Wang Sihai made a fuss about going to play games, so Jiang Nan had no choice but to follow him, while Xu Xiaofen followed the two of them silently like gummy candy.
It was rare that Wang Sihai didn't have any regrets, which saved Xu Xiaofen a lot of embarrassment.
As expected, the game arcade was crowded with little boys. The final exam was over, the grades had not come down yet, and there was no winter vacation homework. It was a good time to bake pancakes.
Wang Sihai habitually exchanged two yuan for game coins, and was about to share half of it with Jiang Nan, when he saw Jiang Nan wave his hand and said, "I don't have any money, so I won't play."
Wang Sihai suddenly said resentfully: "Brother, I have never asked you to spend money, okay?"
In his previous life, Wang Sihai was the one who bought the game coins, and always gave half of it to Jiang Nan. Thinking of this, Jiang Nan smiled awkwardly and said, "You go ahead and play, I didn't play well, and I wasted a few minutes.
"
Xu Xiaofen took out five yuan and handed it to Jiang Nan, and said with encouragement: "It's okay if you don't have a good time. I have five yuan, which is enough for you to play all morning."
Jiang Nan looked at Xu Xiaofen with dull eyes, feeling a little moved, and blurted out: "Sister, that's not what I meant."
After that, I started talking so loudly that my Northeastern accent came out.
The owner of the arcade is good at business. If you pass the level, you can get another coin. This really attracts many children. The closer to the boss at the last moment, the more they keep throwing in coins to try to pass the level.
Wang Sihai was baking pancakes in front, while Jiang Nan and Xu Xiaofen were sitting on the bench next to them as onlookers.
It was only after ten o'clock when they came out of the game hall, so it was still early, so the three of them wandered around the town aimlessly.
Wang Sihai is worried about the final exam results that will be released tomorrow and does not want to go home.
Jiangnan, on the other hand, is very new to everything in this era and wants to see everywhere but doesn't want to go home.
Xu Xiaofen followed Jiangnan. Jiangnan hadn't gone home yet. What was she doing when she went home?
Passing by the only stationery store in town, Jiang Nan proposed to go in and have a look. Xu Xiaofen agreed and Wang Sihai looked confused.
As children of the supply and marketing cooperative, none of the three of them need to buy stationery. The supply and marketing cooperative has its own stationery counter. As a welfare for employees' children, the unit will give their children some schoolbags and stationery every new semester. Moreover, our parents are cadres, so every month
A lot of stationery will be distributed.
Wang Sihai had nothing to buy and was standing in the store in a daze. Xu Xiaofen lowered his head and carefully picked out hairpins. Jiang Nan looked around the store with great interest. The glass counters with wooden frames and wooden shelves were so interesting.
It feels dated.
Jiang Nan looked at the pirated tapes for sale at the counter and couldn't help but smile. In 1996, later generations of CD players had not yet become popular, let alone MP3 players, mobile phones and the like.
There were almost no genuine cassettes for sale in the countryside in this era, and there were no personal albums, just a cassette tape with all kinds of songs.
Jiang Nan was watching on one side, while Xu Xiaofen on the other side had already checked the card and took out five yuan to settle the bill.
The shop owner frowned and said, "Girl, don't you have any change? Just three cents."
Jiang Nan put his hands in the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket and was fiddling with a few steel hammers unconsciously. Without thinking much, he took them out and handed them to the shop owner, who took them with a smile.
Xu Xiaofen blushed and whispered: "Do you want to send me a card?"
Jiang Nan was stunned. I just paid for this idiot.
Wang Sihai hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Isn't it obvious? Do you think Jiangnan ever spent a penny on me?"
Jiang Nan rolled her eyes at him and took out another dime from his pocket, "Boss, give him two bubble gums."
After leaving the stationery store, Jiang Nan was walking aimlessly in front. Xu Xiaofen followed Jiang Nan and played with her hairpins. Wang Sihai was at the end chewing bubble gum vigorously, making faces at the two people in front of him while chewing.
"Hahaha, you three are so stupid, like primary school students, lining up in such a neat line. Is this just after school?" A burst of laughter like silver bells came.
The three of them turned around at the same time, only to see Jin Beibei standing behind, laughing.
The three of them were stunned. Jiang Nan looked at Jin Beibei in front of him. At this time, her little face was still very childish. Unlike in her previous life, when she grew up, she had a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. She was always dressed in professional attire.
She looks like a capable and well-rounded female elite in the workplace.
Xu Xiaofen looked at Jin Beibei with a puzzled expression, as if saying: Is this funny? Why can't I get this point?
Wang Sihai looked at Jin Beibei with a half-smile, and instantly killed her with one sentence: "Jiang Nan just bought two hairpins for Xu Xiaofen."
Jin Beibei's little face suddenly fell. She glanced at the hairpin in Xu Xiaofen's hand and said, "Humph, you three just hang out. I'm going home to read."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Wang Sihai took out the remaining bubble gum and said, "Jin Beibei, do you want to eat the bubble gum?"
Jin Beibei looked contemptuous: "Childish, you are still eating bubble gum when you are an adult."
Wang Sihai said slowly: "I bought it from Jiangnan."
Jin Beibei was stunned for a moment, heartbroken, and immediately snatched it away and ran away like flying.
"Who are you, trying to steal my bubble gum?" Wang Sihai rambled. When he turned around, Jiang Nan looked at him with a murderous look.
Wang Sihai shrank his neck, turned around and left, turning back from time to time and saying, "I'm going home first, my dad is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."
Jiang Nan looked at Wang Sihai who was riding away, and shouted: "Sihai, do you want to make a date in the afternoon... No, come to me in the afternoon."
After saying this, Jiang Nan also felt that it was inappropriate. This word didn't seem to be popular in this era, so he glanced at Xu Xiaofen secretly.
Xu Xiaofen saw Jiang Nan looking over, thinking that Jiang Nan was asking her, and suddenly her face turned red: "Make an appointment..."
