When the two of them walked near the watch counter, Jiang Tang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. When she looked closely, it was Zhang Hexi.
He quickly rubbed Meng Si Ning with his elbow, nodded with his chin, and whispered, "The official match in my book."
"Where?"
Zhang Hexi also happened to see Jiang Tang. Although the two had never met formally, they had seen photos of each other.
Seeing Jiang Tang looking at him, he obviously recognized her. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over quickly.
At this time, he was dressed in military uniform, about 1.8 meters tall, very masculine and sturdy, which was in line with the current aesthetic of people.
"Hello, Comrade Jiang Tang. I'm Zhang Hexi. I proposed marriage to you before... I wonder if you remember."
Jiang Tang frowned slightly. She didn't expect this person to be so direct. "Comrade Zhang, what a coincidence."
"Last time I asked someone to come to your house to propose marriage, it might have been a bit abrupt, so you rejected me. But after I went back, I thought about it and I still felt that you were the one I had been looking for."
Jiang Tang's face straightened, and just as she was about to speak, Zhang Hexi hurriedly said, "Comrade Jiang Tang, I know that feelings can't be forced, but they can always be cultivated. I shouldn't have bothered you last time you rejected me, but... I still think you're a good match. Can you give me a chance?"
Meng Si Ning stood aside, looking at Zhang Hexi, then at Jiang Tang. She was a little excited that the melon had landed on her best friend's head, and it was happening in person.
Jiang Tang ignored Meng Si Ning, and looked at Zhang Hexi speechlessly, secretly complaining: The right height, cold and violent men are the scariest.
He said directly and firmly, "Comrade Zhang, the matchmaker should have made it very clear last time. I want to focus all my energy on my work now and have no plans to discuss marriage for the time being."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhang Hexi's face, but he still didn't give up: "Comrade Jiang Tang, are you really not going to consider me?"
Jiang Tang felt helpless. She took a deep breath and was about to refuse again when she caught a glimpse of He Yan standing in front of the stationery counter not far away, choosing a pen.
Jiang Tang's mind raced, and a plan came to mind. She suddenly raised her voice and shouted in the direction of He Yan, "He Yan, have you picked out a pen?" Her voice was crisp and instantly attracted the attention of the people around them. Zhang Hexi also subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
He Yan heard someone calling him, turned around and saw Jiang Tang, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he saw the man next to her, and suddenly responded with a polite smile: "It's almost done, come and see how this one is?" As he said that, he picked up a pen and shook it at Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang pulled Meng Si Ning and walked straight past Zhang Hexi and quickly walked to He Yan. With a smile on her face, she said affectionately, "Let me see." Then she reached out to take the pen and looked at it carefully, as if she was really choosing carefully.
Zhang Hexi looked at their familiar faces and couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Jiang Tang..."
Jiang Tang raised her head, looked at Zhang Hexi, and said hurriedly: "Comrade Zhang, you must have something else to do. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and moved closer to He Yan, deliberately getting very close to him, which made He Yan feel somewhat uncomfortable. He turned around and looked at Zhang Hexi behind him, and nodded to Zhang Hexi with a polite smile.
Naturally, Zhang Hexi would not stay any longer without any consideration. He nodded, turned around and left.
Jiang Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief after Zhang Hexi left. She smiled and asked He Yan, "What a coincidence to meet you here."
He Yan said: "Yeah, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here to buy things?"
Jiang Tang nodded: "Yeah, it's a rare trip to the city, so I'll buy something. What about you? Are you here to buy a pen?"
He Yan raised the pen in his hand and said, "Well, I want to buy a pen for my master as a gift. He likes to practice calligraphy."
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "You're quite thoughtful. Did you pick something you like?"
He Yan looked at the pen in his hand and said, "I think this one is pretty good, but I don't know if the master will like it."
Jiang Tang took the pen, looked at it carefully, and said, "This pen has a very delicate appearance and a smooth nib. I think it's very good. Your master will definitely like it."
He Yan heard this and a happy smile appeared on his face: "That's good. I feel relieved when you say that."
Meng Si Ning looked at his own daughter, then at He Yan, then turned around and looked at Zhang Hexi who had disappeared.
My bestie's melon is, well, quite tasty.
Afterwards, Jiang Tang suddenly remembered that she had asked He Yan to assemble the electric fan before, so she asked, "He Yan, is the electric fan I asked you to help assemble finished?"
He Yan adjusted his glasses and smiled, "I've already prepared it, just waiting for you to ask. Are you free now? I'll take you to get it."
Jiang Tang and Meng Si Ning looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes."
So, He Yan led them out of the department store. After several twists and turns, they arrived at a quiet corner. A quaint little blue brick courtyard appeared before them, surrounded by a low wall covered in roses, and two lush locust trees stood at the entrance.
"We're here. This is it." He Yan introduced with a smile, "This is my cousin's house. He lives in Haicheng. I came here with my master two years ago. I usually like to tinker with little gadgets here."
After opening the door, Jiang Tang and Meng Si Ning were instantly attracted by the scene inside the house.
The furniture in the room was simple, but neatly arranged and polished.
The main thing was the antique display case up there, filled with several radios, some brand new, others looking like they'd been disassembled and reassembled. In a corner, several fans were neatly arranged, and there was even a TV shell.
The most eye-catching thing is a washing machine that has not yet been assembled. The parts are scattered around, but its unique structure cannot be concealed.
