The aunt's eyes lit up when she saw the red banknotes. She quickly put the money away and stuffed it into her pocket, speaking in a very polite tone.
"It's alright, it's nothing. Just contact me next time you need somewhere. I've been to every place in Beijing. I can find the place you're looking for."
"Thanks."
After parting ways with his aunt, Ji Zhinan went into the park alone.
This is a very beautiful public park, the kind that doesn't charge admission. Every day after dinner, many people come here for a stroll.
Many elderly people usually come here to listen to operas in the pavilion.
Ji Zhinan walked onto the bridge connecting the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl and looked around.
Despite the passage of more than twenty years, the scenery here is still breathtakingly beautiful.
The lake is beautiful; the sunlight shines on the water, making it breathtakingly beautiful.
Indeed, this is the place where her parents visited more than 20 years ago and even took photos.
Since it was a weekday and in the afternoon, there weren't many people in the park, so Ji Zhinan took a walk around by himself.
Having worked for most of the day without eating or drinking, Ji Zhinan was thirsty. He looked around and found a small shop ahead.
"Boss, give me a sandwich and a bottle of mineral water."
"Okay!"
The sandwiches needed to be made fresh, so Ji Zhinan took the bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.
The boss was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. He had been smiling the whole time, and he seemed like the kind of person who was very easy to get along with.
Seeing that Ji Zhinan was good-looking, the boss unconsciously became a little more talkative.
"Young lady, you're from the capital."
Ji Zhinan screwed the bottle cap back on: "Okay."
"People from Beijing are great! I'm from Beijing too. I'm so happy that Beijing is developing so well!"
Ji Zhinan smiled politely.
While making sandwiches, the owner continued, "It's quite rare to see a young lady like you strolling in a park these days. Life is so good now; most of you young people are traveling all over the world. Most of the people who come to this park are middle-aged or elderly people like us, hahaha..."
"..."
"But you young people probably don't know that our Jinkui Park is very beautiful, especially after the sun goes down, when the sunset is breathtaking... it's absolutely stunning."
"Especially the Cowherd and Weaver Girl Bridge, it was very popular more than 20 years ago. I don't know how many young couples came here to play for good luck."
"I see." Ji Zhinan smiled.
After making the sandwich, the boss wrapped it in plastic wrap, then took a knife and cut it in half diagonally, continuing to speak as he worked.
"I remember it most clearly. It was about 22 years ago. There was a couple that I still can't forget. They were beautiful and kind-hearted."
“There used to be an orphanage near the park where children abandoned by their parents lived. The young couple often went to the orphanage to do good deeds, bringing children to the park to play, and also leading the children to give rice to families in poverty.”
Thinking back to those days, the boss was incredibly pleased, his smile grew wider and wider, and he talked more and more.
Ji Zhinan listened casually without thinking much about it. She unscrewed the bottle cap and took another sip of water. Holding the photo in her hand, she stared at Xi Luo and Li Yuan in the photo, momentarily lost in thought.
"Miss, your sandwich is ready."
