Licheng has a well-developed subway system. After arriving at the shopping center, a group of people sat on the first floor enjoying the air conditioning and looking at the signposts to decide what to eat. Basically, they wanted to eat everything and everyone had their own opinions. Finally, they voted for a Chinese restaurant, which serves stir-fried dishes and has a wider variety of choices.
After lunch, everyone was still very excited and said they wanted to go shopping. The boys didn’t want to go shopping, they just wanted to go to the game hall and play, that was their youth.
In this case, Qiqi announced, "The three of us girls are going shopping, you guys go away."
So, the group of boys left. Qiqi took Su Hao's hand and took the new girl with her and walked towards the luxury goods area. The new girl was called Miaomiao. She had never been to such a place and was a little restrained. Qiqi was very experienced and had bought clothes worth 120,000 yuan, so what was there to be afraid of
Su Hao was already very calm, she was just a shopping companion. At this moment, she glanced and saw a pair of cufflinks on the counter. Su Hao looked at them for several times.
"Okay, do you want to buy some?" Qiqi noticed Su Hao's gaze and immediately pulled Su Hao over. There were many cufflinks of various colors on the counter, in pairs.
"Are you going to buy it for Mr. Zhou? You have a really good taste. This brand is very good. Of course, the price is also quite expensive." Qiqi whispered in Su Hao's ear.
"Just a pair like this costs hundreds of thousands." After counting a few zeros, Miaomiao almost covered her eyes. She would go blind if she looked at them too much.
The pair that Su Hao liked was black with gold threads. The gold threads were very fine and hidden in the jade, which looked very precious. She seemed to have never bought anything for Zhou Yang before. She said to the shopping guide, "Please pack this pair for me."
The salesperson smiled and said, "Okay."
Wearing white gloves, she reached in and took it out. The gold pattern on it was more clearly visible, in the shape of a dragon. The salesperson said, "This is a gold dragon cufflink, suitable for dark-colored shirts, a new summer product, you have good taste."
As she said that, she took it in and packed it.
After a while, she came out with everything opened. Su Hao had never bound a bank card, so she opened the small bag, pulled out a card next to the black card, handed it to the shopping guide, and swiped 160,000 yuan. When she received the text message, she felt a little painful, but could only comfort herself by thinking that this month's salary seemed to be not bad.
Qiqi clicked her tongue twice: "You bought it without blinking an eye. Well, you're not even that kind to yourself."
Miaomiao said: "I feel that Sister Su Hao is still distressed. She just glanced at the text messages."
Qiqi laughed, Su Hao flicked her forehead with his finger, picked up the bag and said, "Let's go."
"Seeing how much you spend makes me want to buy something, but I'm poor." Qiqi took Su Hao's hand and walked out the door muttering, "But it's actually worth it for you to buy a pair of cufflinks. Do you know how much the coat that Mr. Zhou gave you cost?"
Su Hao wore the white coat several times to go to work.
Qiqi is very familiar with these big brands. When she sees one, she goes to the official website to check the price. It takes her a long time to find it.
"How much is it?" Miaomiao was interested and asked.
Qiqi looked at Su Hao and said, "320,000 yuan, the design concept is white, there is only one piece, your skirt is also designed by the same designer, the concept is black, that one is cheaper, about 280,000 yuan."
Su Hao: “… .”
You don’t know until you ask, and it’s scary when you ask.
Cheng Ling was calculating when she could buy a house, but the clothes she was wearing were enough to pay for a down payment on a suburban apartment. Moreover, the skirt seemed to have been pulled when it was dry-cleaned, and Su Hao felt pained. She said, "Actually, you don't have to tell me the price."
Qiqi exclaimed: "Why?"
Su Hao: “…”
pain.
The three of them continued shopping. Qiqi insisted on dragging Miaomiao to try on clothes. Miaomiao was really too nervous. She couldn't afford any of the clothes, so she could only buy them trembling with fear.
Su Hao had just spent 160,000 yuan and felt a little nervous. She sat on the sofa with coffee and dessert beside her. She took out her cell phone and read the news.
As I was flipping through the pages, I remembered something, so I found Zhou Yang’s WeChat and edited it.
Su Hao: Have you gone back to change your clothes
Zhou Yang: Yes.
Su Hao: What color shirt did you change to
Zhou Yang: Hmm? The one with black and grey stripes, which I wore during the countdown to New Year’s Eve.
Su Hao: Pat your cuffs for me to see.
Zhou Yang: Pictures.
Su Hao's shirt was a little bigger, so he rolled it up, revealing his wrist bones. The cuffs were not very obvious, but the cufflinks were visible, they were black. Su Hao compared it to the new one she bought, the colors seemed to match well, she smiled, feeling a little happy.
Su Hao: Are you free in the evening
Zhou Yang: I’m not free tonight.
Su Hao was stunned, and slowly deleted the five words "Shall we go eat?" in the editor's words. She sent an "oh" and the man replied immediately.
Zhou Yang: Miss me
Zhou Yang: I miss you too. I’ll contact you when I’m done with my work.
Maybe it was because he seldom told her he was busy, Su Hao was stunned for two seconds before replying.
Su Hao: Yeah, okay.
At this time, on the high-speed train heading back to Jiang City, Zhou Yang was sitting in a first-class seat, his long legs crossed, a notebook in front of him, his slender fingers holding a mobile phone, his narrow eyes containing a smile.
She actually took the initiative to send him a WeChat message.
Moreover, I invited him to dinner.
He was flattered.
Zhou Yang thought about it and edited.
Zhou Yang: Wait for me.
Su Hao: Okay.
He set out early and it was still early when he arrived back to Jiang. After getting off the high-speed train, Zhou Yang called an online taxi and went all the way to Su Hao's old house. If Su Hao's parents had not been plagued by illness over the years, Su Hao's family's finances would not have fallen to the point where they are today. Su's father bought a house in the city center.
That house was renovated but was expropriated before anyone moved in. The house that Su Hao lived in later was in the town, a mahjong center. The house was given to him by his father when he was helping someone look after the mahjong venue. Tang Rui's family also lived here. As for the old house, it was in the village. It was where Su Hao went to kindergarten and high school, and it was also where Zhou Yang and Su Hao had been together.
It has been almost twenty years, and there has been no change. The ground is still a dirt road, and there are streams or rice fields on both sides. The houses are located very far apart.
There is a house far away.
As soon as he stepped onto the land, memories gradually surfaced. Su Hao used to wear braids. She stood on the yellow mud road and looked at him.
He had just arrived and was smoking in the car. He turned around and saw Su Hao. He put his elbow on the car window and asked, "Is she Aunt Cheng's daughter?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked this question. After he asked, Su Hao turned around and ran. Susie, who had gotten off the car to ask for directions, came back and hit him on the head. He laughed at that time.
"How are you going to get a husband if you're so shy?"
Later... She started to avoid him when she saw him, and he gradually guessed her thoughts, but pretended not to know. At that time, her eyes were very beautiful. Zhou Yang thought of this and bit his back teeth to stop himself from thinking too much, because for a few years, she did not belong to him. He walked uphill with his suitcase.
Following his memory, he came to the place where he parked his car. Nothing had changed here, even the bald tree was still there. He put down his suitcase and began to search, even searching the places that could be reached down the slope. His knees were covered with dust and his back was sweating. He sat under the bald tree with squinted eyes, smoking a cigarette.
What is he doing
More than ten years.
Are you still here
He just wondered if she would love him more if she found the sweater.
Hold.
Might as well go back and date her.
After finishing a cigarette, Zhou Yang stood up, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the suitcase, and the next second, he put the suitcase down, pushed himself down the slope again.
There is a rice field at the bottom of the slope, but it is dry. If anything was swept here, it would probably be buried in the soil. Zhou Yang began to search.
Half an hour later.
Zhou Yang went up the hill again. A child ran out from a house not far away. After running up the hill and seeing him, he was so scared that he hurried back. Zhou Yang tugged at his sweaty collar and leaned against a tree, feeling annoyed.
At this time, a person walked up from the bottom of the slope. The person looked at this place tentatively. Zhou Yang squinted and looked at him. After the two looked at each other for a while, she walked closer and stopped at the slope.
This woman is familiar.
Zhou Yang flicked the cigarette ash from his fingertips, "Who are you?"
His voice was hoarse.
Liao Yun was startled and asked hesitantly, "Are you Zhou Yang?"
Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows.
Oh, you know him
So... Sue's good friend
He nodded, holding the cigarette between his teeth.
Liao Yun was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yang's thoughts turned over, and after a few seconds, he asked: "Do you know where the sweater that Su Hao knitted for me is?"
Liao Yun said without hesitation: "I threw it away a long time ago."
Zhou Yang: “…”
Su Hao returned home and packed some side dishes for Cheng Ling. Then she went back to her room to put the cufflinks away, took her pajamas and went to take a shower. Then she came out to watch TV with Cheng Ling.
The cell phone on the desk started beeping.
Liao Yun: Okay, there is something...
Liao Yun: Hey, the signal here is really bad...
Liao Yun: Well, I don’t know how to tell you...
Liao Yun: What happened today was so fantastic.
Liao Yun: I think... Zhou Yang is a nice person, yeah.
After Liao Yun's mother recovered from her illness, Liao Yun suddenly wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so he went back to Jiang's old house and said that he needed a quiet place to prepare for the exam.
The network there has been getting worse in recent years because so many people have moved away, so communications have become increasingly sluggish. However, it also suits Liao Yun's desire for a quiet environment.
Su Hao and Liao Yun only contacted each other once every ten days or half a month.
What happened between her and Zhou Yang happened too quickly, and she only told Liao Yun a few words. Liao Yun replied at the time, "I knew you would develop sooner or later. I am a fortune teller."
This time he posted so many messages in one go, and also mentioned Zhou Yang.
Su Hao: What happened to Zhou Yang
More than ten minutes passed before Liao Yun replied.
Liao Yun: Nothing serious, I just think he is a nice guy.
Su Hao: Why are you only saying half of what you said
Liao Yun: The network is not good. Okay, I’ll go review.
Su Hao: “…”
An hour later, Su Hao was about to go to sleep, but Zhou Yang called and said, "I'll ask the driver to pick you up, come to Yiwan Shanshui."
Su Hao was a little sleepy. She looked at the time and wanted to refuse, but when she thought of the cufflinks, she agreed. She said goodbye to Cheng Ling and then got up to change her clothes.
Cheng Ling covered her mouth and yawned, followed in and said, "Go over there, don't stay up late, it's almost ten o'clock now."
Su Hao put on her skirt and coat and nodded, "I know. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't stay up late."
"You go to bed first." Su Hao opened the drawer, took out the box of cufflinks and put it in her bag, then helped Cheng Ling into the second bedroom. Cheng Ling sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter in bright clothes, and felt relieved. During the years that Su Hao took care of her and her husband, she had no freedom at all, let alone wearing nice clothes to go on a date.
She opened her mouth, hesitated, and said, "We are...not married yet, remember to take precautions."
Su Hao was stunned for a second, then she smiled and nodded, "I know my limits, lie down, I'll turn off the lights for you."
"Okay." Cheng Ling said nothing more, lay down, and pulled the quilt over her. Su Hao turned off the headlights, left the wall lamp on, and left the room. After going downstairs, she saw a black car parked there, and the driver had already opened the door for her.
Su Hao got in the car.
The bustling nightlife had just begun. The car arrived at Yiwan Shanshui. Su Hao did facial recognition and went up the stairs. The lights were on in the living room, but there was no one there.
Su Hao walked up the stairs. The light was on in the master bedroom. Su Hao stepped into the room. The bathroom door happened to open and a man in black pajamas walked out.
Eyes met.
The water droplets on his face slid down his neck and sank into his collar, looking like a vivid picture of a handsome man emerging from the bath.
There was silence for a while.
Zhou Yang hung up the towel, stretched out his hand to hold her waist, pulled her into his arms, and leaned against her head, "Have you taken a shower?"
Smelling the fragrance on his body, Su Hao hummed, "I washed it early."
She raised her head and wiped the water drops on his collar. Zhou Yang smiled and let her wipe it. Su Hao's slender white fingertips danced on his skin and said, "Do you know what I did today?"
She has a soft voice.
Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat.
You talked about her first and then talked about his
Her friend didn't keep his mouth shut
Zhou Yang said stubbornly: "Didn't you go shopping and eat?"
Su Hao's eyebrows curved and her dimples appeared on her face. The next second, she grabbed his collar and said, "Follow me."
Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows, and walked forward calmly following her force, lowering his eyes to look at her slender fingers, all the way into the cloakroom, still on his side. He saw Su Hao's eyes swept towards the place where he placed the buttons, and his heart skipped a beat again. She had asked him for the second button of his shirt that year.
He dodged.
Zhou Yang closed his eyes, feeling a little panicked.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a hand in front of him, with a black velvet box in the palm. Zhou Yang was stunned and looked at Su Hao. Su Hao gently opened the box and said, "Take a look, do you use this brand?"
Inside the box was a pair of black jade buttons with gold threads.
This is not one of the brands he uses. This brand is quite average.
But Zhou Yang stared at the gold and jade buckle. He took her other hand and pulled it forward. "Did you buy it?"
Su Hao smiled: "Guess?"
Zhou Yang clenched his five fingers so tightly that they left marks on her wrists. A second later, he closed the velvet box and casually placed it on the glass cabinet behind him.
He knelt on one knee, grabbed her hand, pressed it against his forehead, tears welling up in his eyes.
Hold.
Su Hao was startled and struggled to pull him, "What are you doing?"
"Wife, let me kneel for a moment, I am willing to kneel for you forever."
Su Hao: "... ..Do you like it or not?"
"I like it. I like everything you buy."
Su Hao: "I'm glad you like it. Get up."
"No." He said in a hoarse voice.
Su Hao felt the back of her hand was wet. A second later, she squatted down, held his face and saw that Zhou Yang's narrow eyes were full of bloodshot and the corners of his eyes were a little wet.
Su Hao: "... ..a cufflink, is that so important?"
As for the sweater, you threw it away because you didn't find it. How much do you want to forget me? Comparing it with the cufflinks, he was simply not a human being at the time.
Zhou Yang grabbed her neck, pulled her over, and blocked her lips. Then, in this position, he hugged her whole body to him. Su Hao wrapped her arms around his waist, hugged his neck, lowered her head and looked at him, and his thin lips kissed her several times. Su Hao: "When did you know that I took birth control pills?"
"Guess."
Su Hao: "Actually, the side effects of the short-acting medication I take are not that severe..."
"No, you can't eat it." Zhou Yang blocked her lips again, slowly put her on the bed, and pressed her down.
He swallowed the idea of relying on his son to take over the father's position and would think of a way later!
First of all, we need to keep her away from those drugs.
The two of them tossed and turned for more than two hours. Su Hao was so tired that she leaned in his arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep. In a daze, she felt him pick up the bedside phone beside him.
He ran one hand along her fair and smooth back and whispered to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, send that wild shirt to be replaced with cufflinks tomorrow morning. The buttons are on the cabinet, in a black velvet box."
Aunt Zhang was surprised. You called so late just to say this
She responded, "Okay, okay."
The next second, Aunt Zhang said, "By the way, Zhou Yang, tell me, that wool... "
"Good night." Zhou Yang interrupted her and hung up the phone.
Aunt Zhang: “???”
Then let’s talk about it tomorrow
The next day, Aunt Zhang didn't have a chance to tell Zhou Yang about this matter. After breakfast, Zhou Yang put his arm around Su Hao's waist and left in a hurry. Aunt Zhang was puzzled for a long time, and finally she could only wait for Zhou Yang to talk to her in person.
After Su Hao arrived at the company, she found that everyone was dressed very formally. She took a look at what she was wearing. Fortunately, it was not bad. Qiqi rolled her eyes: "Not bad? It's too good, okay? This suit of yours cost more than 200,000 yuan."
Su Hao: “…”
Qiqi and Yan Chong, a couple, went to sign the contract. The rest of the people were waiting for them in the company. It was past ten in the morning and no one was in the mood to work. They were all answering the company's phone, waiting for their call.
Su Hao was also a little nervous, looking at the phone from time to time. At about eleven o'clock, the phone rang. Su Hao was close and picked it up, "Hello."
Qiqi's voice came from the other end, very excited: "Okay, we signed the contract successfully!"
Su Hao started laughing, and the others immediately perked up when they saw her laughing. Su Hao said gently, "Congratulations, let's all work together."
“Hahahahahahaha, okay!”
After hanging up the phone, the rest of the people jumped up.
"We are moving to a new office! Towards a better tomorrow!"
"Great!"
"Boss lady, please give me your guidance!" Miaomiao suddenly remembered Su Hao's identity, turned around, and bowed to Su Hao. Su Hao propped up her chin, smiled gently, and said, "No, I am with you."
It’s just that Zhou Yang is her boyfriend.
"Hahaha that's great." Miaomiao hugged Su Hao.
Su Hao continued to smile, and she took the opportunity to pick up her cell phone.
Su Hao: We signed the contract successfully.
Zhou Yang: Congratulations, my girl.
Su Hao: Thank you.
After a while, Qiqi and Yan Chong came back. They first announced where they were going to have lunch, and then went to the calendar and marked the company's moving plan three days later with a red pen.
It was March 2nd in the lunar calendar.
Su Hao looked at it and felt that the date was a little familiar, but he didn't think much about it.
Three days later, Yan Chong hired a fast moving company to move all the documents, computers, and other products to the Feijie Building, which happened to be in the central area of CBD. When driving by, you can see the Jinyu villa area. Qiqi poked Su Hao's shoulder hard, "Your home, your home..."
Xiao Qi was shocked: "What? Su Hao lives in Jinyu?"
Su Hao covered Qiqi's mouth and told her to shut up. Qiqi pulled it away, her eyes sparkling, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou bought a villa for Su Hao, in Jinyu."
"Fuck."
"I'm afraid I heard it wrongly."
"Su Hao, are you walking to and from work again?"
Su Hao: "Not yet."
"Hahaha, it's almost there."
Amid the noise, the car arrived at the building. The computers, files, products, etc. had all been put in place. There were only eight of them left, all squeezed into an elevator, watching the words jump all the way up to the eighth floor.
Yan Chong straightened his collar and dressed in a suit and tie. He turned around and held Qiqi's hand, and the two of them walked out first.
Su Hao and Miaomiao were at the back, while Xiao Qi and Xiao Hua were the last to walk.
In the huge office, the people who stayed behind from Lianwo and Chengfeng companies, as well as those who were newly recruited by Feijie, all stood up and looked at them in unison.
At this time, Qi Lin came out of the office and said with a smile: "Welcome, I've been waiting for you to come."
Yan Chong coughed and said, "Please give me more advice."
"Thank you for your guidance." Qi Lin looked at Su Hao in the crowd, "Director Su, we meet again."
Su Hao came out and stood gracefully: "Boss Qi, it's my honor to be your subordinate again."
Qi Lin smiled and said nothing.
A deep voice followed, "What about me?"
Then the door of the conference room was pushed open and Zhou Yang came out wearing a dark-colored shirt and trousers, with his hands in his pockets and carrying a large pink box.
He stood still, looking at Su Hao.
Deeply.
Su Hao also looked at him, with a smile on her lips and a slightly red ear: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yang chuckled, walked forward, and handed the box to Su Hao the next second. Su Hao took it subconsciously. He tilted his head, opened the box, and said, "Happy birthday, wife."
Su Hao was stunned, then she realized that it was her birthday today. No wonder she felt this day was so familiar. She glanced at the things in the box.
On it is a red property certificate.
There's a bunch of black... wool underneath.
"What did you give?" Su Hao reached out, passed over the red property certificate, and picked up the wool. He found that it was still in a piece, like a sweater.
She pulled it out and opened it.
It was indeed a sweater, but the sleeves seemed a little short. Su Hao lifted the sweater and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, the photo of high school and the slope flashed in her mind, and then the sweater in front of her returned. She looked at Zhou Yang, who had his thin lips tightly pursed and his eyebrows raised.
Su Hao grabbed the sweater tightly: "Did you knit it?"
Zhou Yang put his fist to the corner of his lower lip, "...Yes."
"This is too ugly..." Yan Chong said suddenly.
Zhou Yang kicked him.
Su Hao tried to hold back her laughter, she covered her face. Zhou Yang turned around, hugged her tightly in his arms, and whispered: "I can't find it, so I can only weave it myself."
"My craftsmanship is pretty good," he boasted.
Su Hao: “…”
She was silent for a second, kissed his cheek and said, "Thank you for the gift. In fact, I still have the sweater I gave you that year."
