He had known her for almost two months, and he had some understanding of her character. It was precisely because he knew she would refuse that he wanted to give her such a New Year's gift.
This is quite a mouthful.
To put it simply, Xu Tongdao knew that she was not a materialistic girl, not the kind of girl whose eyes would light up when she saw a gift from a man, so he liked her and was willing to give her such a gift.
.
At this time, Comrade Xu saw that she really refused. He smiled and said: "Don't refuse! I bought everything, and I can't return it. If you don't accept it, what will I do with these boots? Let's do this! You
If you feel bad about it, then you can also give me a New Year gift later, what do you think of this idea?"
Bu Yinghui frowned even more tightly. After thinking about it, she still shook her head, "No! Your shoes are not cheap, are they? My salary can't be compared with that of a master like you. My monthly salary is...
I have to pay part of it to my family! I don’t have the money to buy such an expensive gift for you.”
As she said that, she took another half step back.
Comrade Xu was a little helpless, "You don't regard me as a friend! I asked you to give me a gift in return, and I didn't ask you to buy me something expensive, even if it's just a lighter, as long as it can represent your feelings!"
Do you want to break up with me? These are women’s boots. I’ve already bought them. If you don’t want them, what do you want me to do with them? Have you thrown them away?”
"This this……"
Bu Yinghui was obviously in a dilemma.
Tongdao Xu smiled again. Seeing how entangled she was, he knew she was hesitant.
So, he no longer tried to persuade, but took out the shoe box from the bag, opened it in front of her, took out a brand new leather boot from it, and handed it to her.
"Try it on for size! Just think of it as a New Year's gift from your brother to your sister. Can you give me some face? You're a New Year's Eve, you don't want me to be depressed all day, do you?"
"this……"
Bu Yinghui looked at him, then at the leather boots he handed to her, hesitated, and finally sighed, reached out and took the leather boots, then bent down and squatted down, took off the high heels on her feet, and followed,
She held the wall with one hand and put the new leather boots on her feet with the other hand.
After a moment, she raised her head and said in surprise: "Hey, it's just the right size. How do you know what size I wear?"
Comrade Xu smiled.
"I've paid attention to your feet, I guess! If I'm not sure, do you think I'll buy you shoes?"
After a pause, he asked: "Is the size really right? If it's too big or too small, don't tell me! I just bought these boots today, and I agreed that I can exchange them today."
Bu Yinghui looked down at the leather boots she had just changed on her feet, tried to step on the ground, took two steps, and when she looked up again, she smiled and nodded at him, "It's really just right! You can do it! You have seen my feet with your eyes.
, you can guess what size shoes I wear, your family doesn’t sell shoes, right?”
Xu Tongdao smiled and shook his head.
He really made it through visual inspection. He usually doesn't talk much. Most of the time, he is observing, observing the people and things around him, and other things.
He and Bu Yinghui went to a coffee shop twice before to drink coffee. They were walking on the sidewalk together. Once, he noticed that her feet were stepping on the floor tiles... which were probably much shorter than a floor tile.
Then he looked at how much shorter his feet were than a floor tile, and he could roughly guess what size shoes her feet were wearing.
It's that simple!
In life, if you pay attention everywhere, you will naturally observe many things that others cannot.
Bu Yinghui looked at him with a look of surprise, and then looked down at the leather boots on her feet. The smile on her face brightened a lot, "It's so warm!"
After praising her, she looked up at Xu Tongdao again, her cheeks were slightly red, and she said softly: "Then I will accept it, thank you, thank you! I will give you a gift later, but I definitely don't have your pair of boots.
It’s expensive, don’t dislike it when the time comes!”
Comrade Xu nodded and handed the shoe box in his hand to her, "Okay! I'm waiting for your gift. It doesn't have to be expensive, it just needs to represent your feelings! Take it! I have to do something too. See you later.
!”
Bu Yinghui blushed and took the shoe box, biting her lips and nodded, "Okay, then go and get busy! I have to do something too, thank you again!"
Comrade Xu didn't stay, waved to her, and went to the kitchen.
Bu Yinghui looked at his leaving figure, then lowered her head to look at the other leather boot in the shoe box in her hand. Her face turned even redder.
She is not stupid. Xu, a young man, gave her such a beautiful pair of leather boots. How could she not guess what he meant?
yes!
He is obviously a few years younger than her, but since she has grown so old, it is not like she has never seen a sister-brother relationship. There are wives in her village who are seven or eight years older than her husband!
What's more, she still remembered that Tongdao Xu had asked her in a joking tone before if she wanted to have a sibling relationship...
Also, the way he looked at her every time was obviously different from the way he looked at other waiters. She had actually noticed it a long time ago.
When it comes to relationships, it is common for girls to get started earlier than boys. This is a common phenomenon in society, and she, Bu Yinghui, is no exception.
She just never thought that she would have a sister-brother relationship.
This was also the main reason why she didn't dare to accept Xu Tongdao's gift at first.
But this guy was so persuasive that she really couldn't refuse.
It's just... what gift should she give him in return? This has become a troubled question for her now.
Thinking of this, she frowned tightly again.
…
In the afternoon, Comrade Xu returned to his store and stood in front of the store, looking at the deserted street with few pedestrians. There were also red Spring Festival couplets posted on the doors of storefronts, as well as the occasional red lantern hanging at the door of a few storefronts.
His eyes narrowed subconsciously and he looked in the direction of his hometown.
In his mind, he imagined the atmosphere in his home at this moment today. His mother and sister Yuzhu should be preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, right?

Has your younger brother Xiaolu already paid homage to his ancestors?
According to family customs in previous years, the family should start having New Year’s Eve dinner in a few hours, right?
There were footsteps behind him. After a while, Xu Tonglin came to Xu Tongdao and glanced at the deserted street. Xu Tonglin sighed, "Xiaodao, look at how few people are on the street today. We are celebrating the New Year."
If I don’t go home to celebrate the New Year, what if there is no business tonight, do you think it will be a loss? Oh, to be honest, I really want to be at home now. My mother must have cooked a table full of good dishes today, and there will be more in the evening
You can watch "Spring Festival Gala"..."
Tongdao Xu didn't look at him, but said quietly: "Before 9 o'clock tonight, there shouldn't be many people coming to our place to eat. The main thing will be after 9 o'clock!"
After saying that, Comrade Xu suddenly turned around and walked back to the store, "Anyway, if I have time, I'll cook a few more dishes and treat it as our New Year's Eve dinner."
