Sure enough, at the last moment, the third place overtook the first two and won.
Jiang Shushu: "Haha, you can't judge a person by his appearance!"
"Indeed, let's go up too."
The two of them walked up together, chatting and laughing, and climbed to the six-story tower, standing on the high place and looking at the scenery below together.
"Looking down like this, the scenery is really beautiful. Look at that garden, full of all sorts of colors. Even domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers!"
"Haha... Is this how this sentence is used?" Or is my wife trying to hint something to me?
"It depends on how people understand it. Take the osmanthus and chrysanthemums for example. We have them in our city too, but I didn't think they were beautiful after seeing them so many times. But today I came here to see them. Maybe it's because of the different angle, the different environment, or the different mood, but no matter how I look at them, they still look pleasing to the eye. Even the air is filled with fragrance. What's wrong with me saying that the flowers in my hometown are not as good as the flowers here?" I have a mouth, and I can say whatever I want as long as it's reasonable.
"No problem." It seems I was overthinking it.
Yang Xiaobei suddenly became serious and took this opportunity to express his view on marriage, "No matter how fragrant the wild flowers are, they do not belong to you. Some of them may even be poisonous, which is a waste of money and life. I will definitely go as far away from them as possible. Home flowers are better. Flowers that you choose yourself are safe and healthy, warm and appropriate, and good in every way." After I said this, my wife must be very touched.
Jiang Shushu looked at Yang Xiaobei who was waiting for his praise: "..."Brother, I still believe in your character. I was really talking about the flowers, not the person. You over-interpreted it.
"I'm really talking about flowers, but I'm still very moved when you say that. I especially agree with what you said. In a vast forest, I think you're the best tree. No one can compare. If you dare to take only one scoop from three thousand rivers, I dare to hang myself on your crooked tree in the forest." You refuse to move even if you die. Touched, aren't you? Reciprocity is the way to go. I know how to do that.
"Why am I a crooked tree? Have you ever seen a crooked tree as beautiful as me?"
Jiang Shushu's face froze. "Is this the point? The point is the only point, okay?"
"No, you have to change it, otherwise it won't sound good if people tell others about it. If I'm a crooked tree, it won't look good if you hang yourself here. People will think you have poor taste and you shouldn't choose a better tree to die on."
"Okay, I'll change it. In my heart, you're like a towering tree. You're so good, so good. No one can compare to you."
"That's right. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful flower in the house, the sweetest drop of water. I absolutely won't accept anyone's rebuttal to this." No matter what others think, in my eyes and in my heart, a partner must feel that the other person is the best. Otherwise, what's the point of having a partner? I'd rather live my own life freely.
Jiang Shushu: “…” Such corny words make me feel so… so… good!
"Shushu, since you like the scenery here, let's come back next year and bring our parents and kids along. Bring some food with you. Having lunch here should be a nice experience."
"good."
After visiting the park, the two went to a state-owned restaurant and had a delicious meal of the most famous sweet and sour fish and pork trotter noodles.
After eating and drinking, they went to the Friendship Store, where Jiang Shushu saw all kinds of things that were hard to find in other places: refrigerators, televisions, large electric fans, cameras...
Although Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei were very tempted, they just wanted to satisfy their curiosity because they couldn't afford these big gadgets that cost thousands of dollars.
Jiang Shushu bought a pair of warm shoes for everyone except Yang Xiaobei. Yang Xiaobei bought two pairs because his shoes were too worn out from running every day.
Yang Xiaobei ran to the snack pile and picked out a lot of things that were usually hard to buy or that he had never eaten before.
The two of them spent all the tickets they had before leaving the Friendship Store.
Yang Xiaobei handed a small box of chocolates to Jiang Shushu: "Shushu, try this. I heard others say it's delicious."
“Real chocolate.”
"You know, have you eaten it?"
"I've only seen and heard about it, I've never eaten it." I've eaten Bianjiaojiao, but I've never eaten pure chocolate. In my previous life, I thought chocolate was expensive, so I never wanted to buy it. I just heard that it tasted good.
"I haven't eaten it either, but I heard you say that many people would give this to their partners or wives to represent their love for you. I also heard that out of 100 people who received it, 99 said it was delicious, and the last one didn't say anything. I heard that it was because she was mute. I didn't have the conditions or the opportunity before, and I couldn't buy it even if I wanted to give it to you. Now I have it, and if others have it, you should have it too. I bought it specially for you. The heart-shaped chocolates represent my heart." I have wanted to give Shushu a box of chocolates for a long time, but unfortunately I never got it. Today I finally realized my wish.
"Thank you, I'll try it, it's sure to be delicious."
Jiang Shushu peeled off the wrapper around the chocolate and put the whole thing in his mouth. It wasn't as delicious as he'd imagined. He thought it was too sweet, a bit cloying, with a slightly bitter taste in his mouth. The aroma wasn't as fragrant as he'd imagined. Overall, the taste was just average. After the first one, he didn't really want a second one. Jiang Shushu felt that White Rabbit Milk Candy was better.
Yang Xiaobei didn't hear Jiang Shushu's words, nor did he read anything in Jiang Shushu's expression. He quickly asked, "How does it taste?" Not good? So many people said it was good, that couldn't be possible, right?
Jiang Shushu didn't want to force the compliment, because her biggest hobby was eating, and she didn't want to suffer any loss for her mouth. Jiang Shushu felt that chocolate was really not to her taste, and she didn't want Yang Xiaobei to give her this thing again in the future.
Jiang Shushu didn't say anything, but stuffed a chocolate into Yang Xiaobei's mouth and said, "Try it."
Yang Xiaobei finished eating a whole piece of authentic foreign chocolate and savored it for a while. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was not tasty.
"How do you like it?"
"It's edible, but I think the taste is just average. It's far different from what I imagined."
"I think so too. Maybe our taste here is different from that of foreigners."
Jiang Shushu ate another one.
Yang Xiaobei also knew that Jiang Shushu didn't like it, so he quickly stopped her, "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it."
"You gave it to me? Of course I have to eat it. It's a token of your love, and I can't bear to throw it away. Next time, you can give me something delicious instead. You know what? When I ate the second one, it suddenly tasted a little better than the first. I suddenly understand why so many people think chocolate is delicious. They're not eating chocolate, they're eating love!"
"Okay, I'll give you something delicious next time."
The two of them went shopping in the department store again, and took a bus back to Q City at 3:30 in the afternoon, and returned home at 5:30.
