The meal passed in Jianshu's worry. After breakfast, Gu Mingjing went back to his old job and started to pick up Jianshu and drop him off at work every day.

As Pan Ning's wedding day drew closer, Jianshu still hadn't come up with any innovative gifts.

It’s not that she didn’t have any ideas, but after careful consideration, those ideas didn’t seem suitable. Now, they all seemed a bit flashy.

When material needs are not met, spiritual needs are not even considered. All flashy things are not even as good as a steamed bun.

After realizing this, Jianshu also decided on the gift - a quilt.

There is no other way, this is the most practical.

Other things such as thermos, washbasin, towels, etc., have already been prepared for her by her family. These things are of good quality and sufficient.

But you can never have too many quilts.

In the 1970s, when there was no air conditioning or heating, the only way to keep warm in winter was to rely on thick quilts, in addition to kangs and coal stoves.

Moreover, this was the gift she gave to Li Li when she got married, and now it belongs to Pan Ning, so it wouldn't be good if there is too big a difference.

The relationship between three people cannot be as stable as a triangle, and it always needs to be well maintained.

She and Pan Ning had given the quilt together at that time, but it was not needed this time. After all, she was giving it as a wedding gift to Pan Ning and Ding Ming.

After the gift was settled, Jianshu no longer had anything on his mind.

Time flies, and it is Pan Ning's wedding day.

Jianshu got up early in the morning. Pan Ning was getting married today, so she had to go there early to accompany her.

He quickly got dressed and washed up. At this time, Gu Mingjing had already prepared breakfast, and he also had to go to Ding Ming early to help.

Because they both had things to do, they didn't chat while eating. They quickly finished their breakfast, then each rode out on a bicycle, parted ways at the intersection, and headed to their respective destinations.

He rode all the way to Pan's house, knocked on the door, and the Pan parents who opened it warmly welcomed Jianshu in.

"Xiaoshu, are you here? Come in quickly. Ningning is in her room. Lily just arrived and was talking about you."

Pan's mother is a very kind person. Perhaps she suffered a lot when she was young, and the successive births have seriously damaged her energy, so she looks older than her actual age.

But most people these days are like that, and she has a happy family life, her children are all harmonious, and aside from her youngest daughter's marriage, she doesn't have many worries. So, she actually looks more energetic than her peers.

As for her daughter's two good friends, she has always liked them very much.

"What are they talking about me? Aunt, are they saying bad things about me?" Although Pan Ning didn't come to her house often, Jian Shu was not unfamiliar with her. She walked towards Pan Ning's room as if she knew the place well.

It is called a room, but in fact it is just a small compartment separated from the balcony. It is very small and can only fit a small bed and a table, but it is very clean and tidy.

And this small space does not belong to her alone. Before her elder sister got married, the two sisters could only squeeze into this small space.

This is not because Pan's parents favor boys over girls and treat them harshly, but because they have no choice. The house is so small, there are four brothers and sisters in the Pan family, and the eldest brother of the Pan family is already married and has children. With a whole family living together, they have to make use of every inch of space, right?

Moreover, compared to those girls who have to squeeze into a room with their parents, separated only by a curtain, they are able to have a separate residence and an independent room, which is already envied by many people.

After Pan Ning gets married, this room will belong to her nieces. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be passed down from generation to generation.

"Haha, they are just thinking about you. You three children have a good relationship. Even after you get married, you must remember to keep in touch with each other so as not to let down the friendship of your youth." Pan's mother warned with a smile.

She was extremely fond of Jianshu, a girl of extraordinary talent and intelligence. If it hadn't been for her, who knew what would have happened to her Ningning now? She had also watched Lily grow up. Although she could be a little reckless at times, she was the one with the most good intentions. It was rare for the three children to get along so well and have such a good relationship. She only hoped that their friendship would last forever.

"Don't worry, auntie, I will. Look, Lily has been married for two years, and we are still doing well, aren't we? Even if we are not together in the future, as long as we think of each other, our feelings will never break." How could Jianshu not understand Pan's mother's thoughts, and answered very seriously.

She had many regrets in her previous life. At that time, they were young and went to different places for their studies. They arrived in new environments and met new friends. Gradually, they had less and less contact with those friends who they could talk about everything in their youth.

In the beginning we would chat every day and share new things, but later we were both busy and couldn’t reply to messages immediately, so it always took a long time to reply to a message.

When I scrolled through the chat history, it was all intermittent. Even the desire to share was dampened. Over time, it seemed that nothing was left except a string of pale and powerless hahahahaha.

Later, a week, half a month, a month... the time intervals between contacts became longer and longer. Except for a few greetings on holidays and birthdays, the laughter and joy of our youth had disappeared at some point, leaving only fragments in our memories, which made people feel melancholy every time they recalled them.

The past cannot be retrieved, but everything in front of us can still be grasped. Jianshu, having learned its lesson, will never repeat the same mistakes. Distance cannot become an obstacle to friendship.
