Chapter 694: Dare not accept

I just boasted to Zhang Xuan a few minutes ago about a car that had a flat tire, and now this car is coming towards me. Although the tire didn't burst, it almost hit me.

It can be seen that trains are not pushed and cow pens are not blown casually.

The bicycle fell down after hitting the tree, and the two young men lay on the ground with their arms and legs spread out, missing their mother.

"Oh my god, my butt is broken in two. How did you manage to ride a bike?"

Another young man was also unequivocal: "Blame me? I told you not to wander around, but you kept on wandering around. Now you're done for! Ouch, my arm must be skinned."

Wan Feng was also unlucky. At this time, he was still standing aside watching the fun foolishly.

The two young men stood up from the ground and saw Wan Feng while blaming each other.

"It's all your fault. You blocked our way. Otherwise, we wouldn't have hit the tree." One of the guys wearing short sleeves and a mustache suddenly set fire to Wan Feng's head.

Wan Feng was depressed. He was the one who got caught in the disaster. He should have stayed away from them when they fell.

He was a person who lived through this era, and of course he knew the nature of these idle young people in society at that time.

"Yeah! It's all your fault. If you hadn't been standing on the side of the road and laughing, there's no way we would have crashed into the tree."

A typical case of finding a pretext to accuse someone of a crime.

Wan Feng had experienced this kind of thing in his previous life, and he knew that there was no point in explaining it. The first thing to do was to run, and the second was to fight on.

He couldn't run away. He had to wait for Zhang Xuan here. If he ran away, Zhang Xuan might not be able to find him when he came out.

Since I can't run, I can only fight.

"Brothers, you almost hit me, why are you blaming me? You should be reasonable, right?"

"What's the point? You're blocking our way, so where are you from?"

Banjianxiu walked up to Wanfeng with his face raised, and reached out to push Wanfeng.

Wan Feng was pushed back a step.

Wan Feng glanced at the mustache guy's crotch out of the corner of his eye. He was calculating how big a reaction the mustache guy would get if he kicked him there.

Another young man also came over, and the two of them surrounded Wan Feng in a fan shape.

"So what do you want?"

"What do you want? I'm really mad right now, I'm going to beat you up!"

A slap in the face with a wave of his hand in the half-sleeves.

As Wan Feng lowered his head, a slap passed over his head.

"Hey, you still dare to hide, San'er will take action! Beat you up first..."

The two guys were ready to fight.

"Bai Jiang! Liu San! What are you two doing?" Just as the two young men were about to attack Wan Feng, a clear voice rang out.

The next moment, Zhang Xuan rushed over and stood in front of Wan Feng.

Bai Jiang and Liu San saw Zhang Xuan's face immediately change to a flattering expression, but when they saw Zhang Xuan blocking Wan Feng, his face turned ugly again.

"Zhang Xuan, do you know this guy?"

“This is my classmate!”

"So he's your classmate! This guy blocked our way and caused us to crash into a tree. But since he's your classmate, forget it. Tell him to be more careful next time. Zhang Xuan, can you take us to the movies when you have time?"

“No time!”

"Then when is the time?"

"I'm going to high school soon, and I won't have time anymore."

Bai Jiang and Liu San lifted up their bicycles in frustration and looked at Wan Feng unhappily: "Kid, be more careful next time!"

After saying that, he walked away angrily.

"How did you offend them?"

"How did I offend them? They were just bored and looking for trouble." Wan Feng recounted what had happened.

"So that's what's going on. You'd better not mess with them in the future."

"I'm fine, but I think it's not a good thing for you to know them. You might end up in the hands of these bastards in the future."

"They are my neighbors, so it's no surprise they recognize me. Let's go for a stroll down the street."

The two of them walked west and then south along the street, chatting and laughing, and entered the intersection in the center of Wuxian County.

This is the central part of Wu County. All commercial units in Wu County are concentrated here. There are three restaurants, two shops, a bookstore and a cinema.

Apart from these places, there seems to be nothing else worth strolling around.

The First Department Store is the largest department store in Wu County. It is an old three-story building that is said to have been built by the Japanese.

Decades ago, the Japanese were planning to build Wuxian into the largest city in the Heilongjiang region. Their slogan at the time was: Big Wuxian, small Harbin.

However, they surrendered before the construction was completed, but many buildings from the Japanese colonial period were still left in Wu County.

The two were strolling in the department store.

When women go shopping, they either look at clothes or cosmetics. Zhang Xuan stopped in front of the clothing counter.

Although the store counters no longer had the old three types of clothing, and there were a few other styles of clothing, there were still not many styles.

But even these few styles have attracted quite a few people.

In particular, a women's long dress attracted the attention of many women, including Zhang Xuan.

This is a dress with half sleeves and a nipped waist. The skirt is very long. I guess it would reach the ankles for most people. For someone like Zhang Xuan, it would also be above the knees.

The colors available are light yellow, white, light gray and light blue, and the price is ten yuan and thirty cents.

In Wan Feng's opinion, the workmanship of the clothes was very ordinary, and the price was much more expensive than the skirts made by Fengfeng Garment Factory. The factory price of such a skirt was only five yuan.

After deducting nearly ten feet of fabric and labor costs, they only make a little over one dollar per skirt.

Zhang Xuan stared at the skirt without moving his eyes.

Wan Feng was speechless. What was there to see? If he took her to his garment factory, with the dozen or so styles of skirts they produced, she might even forget her own last name.

"Which color do you like?"

"White. I think white looks elegant and quiet."

"Haha, how are you going to explain this to your mom if you buy it back?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "I won't buy it. I can't afford it."

"I didn't ask if you could afford it. I meant if you took a piece of clothing like this back home and your mother asked about it, what would you say?"

"Of course I won't let her see it. I'll wear it secretly when I go to school."

"Haha, school starts in March, you can only wear it for a month at most."

"You can wear it for a month."

"If I give you a set, would you dare to accept it?"

Wan Feng's words made Zhang Xuan very confused: "You're giving me a set?"

"Suppose I were to give you a set now, would you dare to accept it? I'll give you three minutes to think about it."

Zhang Xuan didn't take three minutes to think about it. She only thought about it for one minute before shaking her head: "I dare not accept it."

"Tell me the reason?"

"Why do you give me clothes?"

"This is my business. Tell me why you don't dare to accept it."

"I have no reason to accept your things. Although we are classmates, we are not related."

It's very sensible. If you have no relationship with the other person, you certainly can't accept other people's things casually. It's not right or proper.
