Chapter 47 Peacock Forest (47)

Two weeks later, Li Shanlan gave me a blue jacket. There is a paper label on the cuff of the left hand with Vanpano and Made in Italy printed on it. "You are more deceitful than I am. ’ I pointed to the little sticker that said $4680 on the label. "Send the Buddha to the west." She blinked her eyes, revealing a hint of cunning. Another month later, the weather in Tainan finally called for a jacket. I took up the blue jacket and found it to be quite wearable and pretty, and I always wear it. So it has almost become my uniform this winter. In addition to selling jackets this winter, Li Shanlan also sells clothes and accessories such as trousers, sweaters, and purses.

Even weird things like lucky hats. "Lucky hat? 』 "Don't those fortune tellers on TV always say that wearing certain things brings good luck?" She gave me a hat, "This is the hat that brings good luck." "Do you think the antelope will not be caught by the lion if it wears this hat?" ’ I put my hat on. "Don't forget it." She took off the hat on my head. I always drive her to the station to take the bus to Taipei, and she will call me to pick her up when she returns to Tainan. In addition to working as a waiter in China Doll, setting up a stall in Taipei, and working in a supermarket,

She has occasional extra work, such as modeling for a paint job in a department store cosmetics counter. This job is to create a face and let others smear on the face to demonstrate the effect of cosmetics. A week before Christmas, she also dressed as Santa Claus in a department store. "You play Santa Claus? ’ I said, ‘It’s too skinny. 』 "They want a pretty Santa Claus," she said. On December 24th, all the students' moods were visibly fluctuating in the research room. Because tonight is Christmas Eve.For people like me who once had a partner and then returned to being single,

I absolutely hate this kind of day when I miss my loved ones every festive season. Unable to bear the constant discussion of what to do at night and where to go, the people around me simply went home. As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw three big baskets of red roses on the ground. Just when I was curious, I heard Li Shanlan say, "It's just in time for you to come back." "What's up? ’ I said, ‘Also, why are there so many red roses? 』 "I'm going to sell red roses near Chengda, please help me." "it's not good.I know a lot of people near Chengda University. If I meet them, I will be embarrassed. 』

"What's the matter?" she said, "it's Christmas Eve, many boys need flowers, We are doing meritorious deeds by selling flowers. " "Merit? 』 "Usually a red rose sells for ten yuan, but now it has more than tripled, but I only sell it for 20. Do you think Think about it, those boys who want to buy flowers must be so grateful that they burst into tears. " I still hesitated, and she said again: "Since I often bring you things from the supermarket, help me sell flowers." "Those things are out of date. "I say. "Isn't expired meat meat? Does expired pork turn into apples?"

"This……" "It's fine if you don't help." After she finished speaking, she bent down and picked up a basket of red roses. The bamboo basket was half the height of a person, and she struggled to hold it, so I said, "Okay, I'll help you." 』 She chose the school gate as the place to set up the stall, and I whispered that it was not good, because that is indeed the place where the most people come and go. The business is very good, she is busy counting flowers, packaging, checkout, besides helping her count flowers, My right hand has been intentionally or unintentionally covering my eyes, not wanting people to see my outline clearly.

The guard guarding the school gate came over. Although he guessed that he was here to drive us away, he was glad in his heart. "I want to buy five," said the guard. "Okay," she replied. I sighed to myself. "Senior?" I turned my head when I heard the sound. It was a junior in a master's class. His expression seemed to be seeing a monkey in the North Pole. "..." I opened my mouth wide, like a fish landing on the shore. "Since it's someone I know, I'll give you a 20% discount!" she said. "Great, I'll ask other students to buy it!"

The junior took the flowers and left. I froze for a few seconds before shouting at his back: "Don't do it! 』 "Take it easy," she said, "what's the shame in selling flowers?" I couldn't answer, I just felt very uncomfortable in public like this. Swallowing his saliva, he said, "There are so many boys who buy flowers." 』 "Of course," she said, "you think every other boy writes roses on cards like you do. Come and hang out?Girls need flowers, flowers that wither. " "Hey, don't mention this. 』 "But you can think of using this method to save money on buying flowers. You are indeed the one who chooses peacocks."

Hearing her say that, I was taken aback. From the moment I chose the peacock, no one said I looked like the one who chose the peacock, but she was the first to say it. Others think that I am a peacock, but I don't look like it.Wei Ting is like this. I looked at the two empty baskets and the one that was less than a quarter left, and said: "Fortunately it's almost sold out. 』 "There are three more baskets," she said. "what? ’ I cried out. "Business is really good. I urgently ordered three more baskets, but I didn't expect the goods to be available. I'm lucky."

"you……" When the six baskets of flowers were almost sold out, the sky was already dark, and I looked at my watch, it was almost six o'clock. As soon as we entered the house, she said, "You should also buy some flowers for me." "why? "I say. "The poor girl who has no flowers on Christmas Eve." I glanced at her and said, "I want to sleep, I don't want to go buy flowers anymore." 』 "You don't need to go out to buy it," she said, "There are still a few flowers left here, just sell you ten yuan for one." "you……"

"Just kidding." She suddenly laughed happily, "I'm not exaggerating that much." I breathed a sigh of relief and glared at her. "These few flowers are left, you can give them to the people you like." She wrapped the flowers in a bouquet and gave them to me. I counted and there were 17 flowers in total. "Don't go to bed too early at night," she said. "Ok? 』 "Anyway, don't go to bed too early, there is still a show." She started the car, "I'm leaving first." I went back to the upstairs room, put the 17 red roses on the desk, and fell asleep. I was exhausted from standing outside for hours, and I fell into a deep sleep. But halfway through sleep, he was still woken up by the doorbell, and went downstairs in a daze to open the door and saw a dozen students. "Let's say good news!" they said. After they sang, my eyelids became heavier the more I listened, and I could hardly tell the difference between Hallelujah and Amitabha. "There will be miracles on Christmas Eve!" After singing, a foreign boy with yellow hair said. His Chinese is not very fluent, I heard "miracle" as "cock", and I couldn't help being taken aback. Going back to bed again, it was almost 12 o'clock when I woke up. The faint sound of Christmas singing outside makes the house even more quiet. Although Christmas Eve is blessed with tranquility and peace, the tranquility at this moment makes me breathless. Sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze for a few minutes, I decided to find a noisy place. At this moment in a day like this, the only place I know of that might have a voice is Yum.
