Hu Liqiang did not make a final statement. He said that he would have to go home and discuss the matter with his parents and brothers before making a decision.
Enya and He Yang showed great respect for him, and they promised Hu Liqiang that they would not go beyond the distance until they terminated their marriage to Xiaomei. Hu Liqiang did not say anything more this time, but he listened to his expression.
He Yang invited the villagers to stay in Beijing for a few days and visit the capital city they had never been to before. The fourth uncle said that he would only stay for one day to see Tiananmen Square. He tremblingly took out five hundred dollars wrapped in a handkerchief.
, showed it to He Yang and said: "Yazi, take it! Book the tickets for the day after tomorrow for your fourth uncle and brothers."
"The big four...I can't take this money." He Yang quickly pushed it back.
Enya's chivalrous heart came out again. She waved her hand and said confidently: "Four big brothers, no need! I've paid for your tickets, and I'll keep the middle and lower berths for you to line up together."
The fourth uncle smiled and said no, "I'm used to being poor, so there's no need to waste that money."
Enya still wanted to persuade, but Gu Mengmeng stopped her. She winked at Enya, smiled and said to them: "Everyone has worked hard today, why not go to bed early and let He Yang lead everyone around tomorrow. Tickets
It’s better for He Yang to do the shopping. Since the old man is here, he’s just a guest, so why should he let the guests spend money?”
The fourth uncle didn't refute after hearing this. He ordered several people who were traveling with him to allocate rooms and rest.
Enya and Gu Mengmeng said their goodbyes and came out first, followed closely by He Yang.
He wanted to return the car key to Gu Mengmeng, but she put it back in his hand and said, "Take it and use it. You must take good care of the old man and my uncle these days."
"Thank you, Mengmeng." He Yang thanked him sincerely.
Gu Mengmeng pushed Enya into He Yang's arms and said with a smile: "I leave Enya to you! If you don't do it for anything else, just because of her love for you, from now on you will also
Can't let her down."
"Yes! Chief!" He Yang seemed to have put down the heavy burden of a thousand dollars in his heart, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
He took Enya's hand and invited her to accompany his relatives to visit Beijing with him tomorrow.
Enya hesitated and agreed shyly.
Gu Mengmeng saw that she seemed redundant, so she teased them a few words and then left and reported back to the club.
It was getting late, so Gu Mengmeng walked back along the road.
This area is very prosperous, with large shopping malls, mass merchandisers, and boutiques everywhere. The day after tomorrow is Christmas for foreigners, and New Year's Day is approaching, so the mall is full of bustling people, colorful and dazzling lights, and the naive Santa Claus is crowded
The windows and doors of businesses were filled with employees dressed as him distributing small gifts and leaflets to passers-by in the cold wind.
When Gu Mengmeng passed by a store, a coupon for tonight's discount was thrust into her arms.
She looked and saw that it was a cake shop called "Sunshine Three Flavors".
As soon as you enter the door, the warm welcome greetings from the clerks, the elegant store music, and the sweet atmosphere immediately create a warm "baking paradise". The lighting here is very distinctive, with a nostalgic and soft texture of glass, which sprinkles on the shape.
The unique cake tempts people's appetite. She saw a large LCD TV mounted on the pillar in the center of the store, which was broadcasting the news in a low voice.
She opened the coupon and saw that today's discount was on a fresh cream birthday cake.
After hesitating for a moment, she ordered a 16-inch one from the clerk next to her.
"Can we not use ordinary sugar and switch to sugar substitutes that are not harmful to the health of the elderly?" she asked.
The clerk immediately replied: "Yes, we have xylitol, a sugar substitute specifically for diabetics."
"Okay, let's order this. Do you need me to wait for a long time?" Gu Mengmeng picked up the small basket and put the golden-colored snacks with a fruity and milky fragrance inside.
"About 20 minutes, very quick."
"Okay, I'll wait." She randomly selected a lot of snacks and buns and handed them to the clerk to wrap them up. After paying, she sat on the floor-to-ceiling glass wicker chair and watched the street scene in boredom.
"Miss, this is the coffee we offer, would you like to try it?" The clerk with a kawaii face prepared a cup of hot latte for her and brought it to her.
"Thank you." She took it and smiled at the clerk.
The aroma of the steaming warm coffee gradually spread out. She took a sip. Although the taste was not as good as that of an authentic coffee shop, she could sit in a quiet cake shop in such a cold weather and drink a cup of fragrant coffee.
, it’s still something that makes people feel happy.
While waiting, she took out her mobile phone and looked in her direction habitually.
No.
Nothing.
Apart from the image of her and Conway cuddling together and laughing happily, there was no call from the person she was thinking about on the screen.
Where is he? Is he still in the same city as her?
She unconsciously fell into silence, stretched out her slender fingers, and pressed the numbers she knew by heart on the numeric keys, over and over again.
When she pressed it for the eighth time, the sound of the TV suddenly turned up loud for some reason.
She was startled by the sound and naturally looked towards the TV broadcast.
Time seems to have stopped.
Her expression froze, and her eyes stared greedily at the entourage accompanying the Prime Minister in the picture. The handsome face, deep and sharp eyes, and slightly pursed lips all showed that he was exercising.
Carrying solemn and sacred duties.
The kawaii clerk ran out in a hurry and apologized to the only female soldier in the store.
"I'm sorry! I held down the volume on the remote control. I'm sorry. I must have scared you." She pressed the remote control in a panic, unable to find the buttons for a while and touching them randomly.
"Don't move! Don't change the channel..." Gu Mengmeng screamed, rushed forward and grabbed the remote control.
But when she turned her eyes back to the TV screen, Conway was no longer there. Instead, the announcer was calmly announcing information about the civil service examination. It felt like something had bitten a piece of her heart, and she could only tighten it.
Only the chest can restrain the loss choked in the throat.
"Miss...you..." the clerk asked worriedly as he looked at her sudden loss of consciousness.
Gu Mengmeng came back from her daze, looked at the remote control snatched from her hand, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and gave it back to the clerk.
"sorry.."
"It's okay, it's okay." The clerk smiled cutely, then went in and took out the beautifully packaged cake.
