The two of them worked together and quickly had the New Year's Eve dinner ready.
Because we were in a hurry, and there were only two singles out there, we naturally didn't pay much attention to it. It was just a few dishes and a soup.
Miss Meng is from Jiangxi, and the food she cooks is naturally a southern-style New Year's Eve dinner, which is naturally very different from the northwest food that Sun Xu grew up eating.
But Sun Xu ate with great joy... It wasn't because of how outstanding Miss Meng's cooking skills were. In fact, they were just average.
After all, Miss Meng is just not a professional chef, and the home-cooked dishes she makes are just like that, not even as delicious as the big pot dishes made by the chefs in the canteen of Anhua Textile Company...
However, Sun Xu still found it very delicious. Not only did he find it delicious, but he also felt particularly comfortable.
Seeing Sun Xu eating happily, Miss Meng sitting opposite was also in a good mood, with a faint smile on her face.
They eat and sleep without speaking. Both of them are educated people, and their relationship is not so close that they can chew something and talk at the same time while eating. It is too unsightly.
Although the two of them ate slowly, they finished their meal quickly. Sun Xu put down his bowls and chopsticks, took another sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, and then said: "To be honest, this is what I have been doing in recent years. The most delicious meal I have ever had, Miss Meng’s cooking is really good!”
Miss Meng put down her chopsticks earlier than Sun Xu. After hearing Sun Xu's words, she said, "Young Master Sun, thank you!"
He said it politely, but the joy on his face did not diminish, and he continued: "Actually, I seldom cook. I eat work meals in the mall during the workday, and only on my days off. Can cook for myself.”
After Sun Xu heard this, he continued the topic: "Oh, then you will have your day off. I wonder if I can still disturb you?"
After saying that, Sun Xu quickly said: "I won't eat for free. I can buy groceries, do some cooking, and wash the dishes after eating."
This was said in a serious manner, but after hearing this, Miss Meng, who was opposite, bowed her head slightly and did not reply, and her face began to turn red again.
Seeing her like this, Sun Xu said: "Then it's settled!"
Miss Meng's face turned even redder, and she quickly said: "That's not good, and my rest days are different from your company's rest days, and the time doesn't match up either!"
Ms. Meng works in Huidong Department Store. It is naturally impossible for a retail business place like a department store to take her vacation when others are on vacation... or even vice versa. She is even busier when others are on vacation. Her daily vacation is A day off in a normal establishment or business.
However, at Anhua Textile Company where Sun Xu works, most employees follow the regular holiday schedule and take breaks on every first day of the month, namely the 11th and 21st of each month.
However, their mechanical repair department is a bit special, because it needs to take advantage of the factory's ordinary employees to take advantage of the holidays and stop production to perform maintenance on many mechanical equipment... It also belongs to the kind of model where others go to work during holidays.
Therefore, Sun Xu's rest time is not very fixed, and most of them take turns to take breaks.
It's just that Miss Meng is not very familiar with it, so she doesn't know.
Sun Xu pretended not to see Miss Meng's blush, and continued to say seriously: "The rest time is easy to arrange, I can apply for a rest day."
In just two words, Sun Xu stopped Miss Meng's excuse... Miss Meng's face turned even redder... and she simply stopped talking.
There are some things that everyone knows without having to explain them too clearly.
Miss Meng can definitely see and hear what Sun Xu is thinking...
Sun Xu is not stupid, and he can see what Miss Meng is thinking... If you don't like her at all, you can have a New Year's Eve dinner with a big man like you, and you are alone in the same room!
After the pair finished eating, Sun Xu helped them clean up the dishes, and then said: "Let's go, it's getting late, let's leave early!"
As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "I heard that the fireworks show starts at eight o'clock. It's just in time for us to go there now!"
When Miss Meng heard this, she immediately wiped away her shyness and said quickly: "Okay, let's set off now!"
Sun Xu said: "I'll go over and get my coat!"
After Sun Xu went out to get his coat next door, Miss Meng also took her coat and gloves from the hanger... But after thinking about it, she went into the bedroom to touch up her makeup.
Although I had put on makeup when I went out this afternoon, it was a bit messy after cooking and eating. Especially the lipstick had been wiped off before eating.
After lightly tracing my eyebrows, I applied some sandal-colored lipstick with a lipstick paper. Then I looked in the dressing mirror and touched it up a little with foundation.
After a little touch-up of makeup, Miss Meng opened the drawer, picked out two carved pearl hairpins and put them on. She also took out a pair of gold pendant chain earrings, replaced the original pair of small stud-style earrings, and added Pick up a new bottle of perfume, pour some out, and rub it behind your ears and on your wrists.
After simply tidying up, I looked in the dressing mirror again and again.
Miss Meng showed a satisfied smile, then stood up and walked out of the room with brisk steps. After arriving in the living room, she put on the rabbit fur cloak, leather gloves and hat.
Finally, I picked up my small leather bag and went out.
When I arrived at the door, I found Sun Xu already dressed and waiting.
Just listen to Sun Xu say: "Okay, let's go!"
Miss Meng had already put away her joyful expression at this time, and just nodded slightly and said yes, dignified and ladylike.
After the two went downstairs, Sun Xu first went to the house of the person who was helping to look after the carriage on the first floor. He briefly said a few words of thanks and sent a New Year red envelope to the couple's three or four-year-old girl. Say goodbye and leave.
The young couple stood at the door with their children in their arms. They happened to see Sun Xu holding the carriage with one hand and extending his other hand as an armrest to make it easier for Miss Meng to get on the carriage.
When the husband saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "That's Miss Meng from the fourth floor. She's usually a very arrogant person. She doesn't pay much attention to anyone she meets on the street. Why has she lost her temper now?"
The wife said: "You are like this, who cares about you? It is because I was blind that I fell in love with you!"
"And no matter how arrogant she is, she is just a female clerk who buys jewelry. She usually just pretends to be arrogant because of her appearance. And who is Brother Sun? He is an engineer in a big factory. He must be decent and honorable. There is income, but if you encounter this, you have to grab it with all your might!"
The husband said: "Looking at what you said, why am I so bad... Your husband, I am also a team leader after all..."
The wife choked without hesitation: "What a bastard team leader. He only manages a few rough guys. He earns so little every month and can't even afford to rent a house in the suburbs!"
"Let me tell you, if I still can't move to the suburbs next year, I will take Qin'er back to my parents' home... I've had enough of this damn place. Ever since I followed you to Songjiang with my child, she has been here every three days. I'm sick, let me tell you..."
Naturally, Sun Xu and Miss Meng were unaware of the conversation between the young couple. At this time, Miss Meng had already got on the carriage first, and then Sun Xu also got on the carriage from the other side.
After getting on the carriage and sitting down, Sun Xu could clearly feel Miss Meng beside him, and his body moved out involuntarily... But the carriage Sun Xu rented was just a light two-seater pony.
It is definitely no problem for two people to sit in it, but it is impossible to make it as spacious as you want... Even though they are not touching each other, the distance between the two people is still very close.
Even Miss Meng seemed to be able to hear Sun Xu's breathing as he approached!
Sun Xu didn't think about his attitude, but started to concentrate on driving!
Although Sun Xu drove a lot in his hometown, he had never driven after arriving in Songjiang. Moreover, when driving a carriage in his hometown, the road was not spacious and there were no cement roads or asphalt roads, but the carriages and carriages on the road were There are not many pedestrians.
After all, in a small place, there are few people and few cars. If you leave the central area of the county, there will be no people and cars in the large suburbs. As long as you don't go too fast when driving a carriage, and don't foolishly drive the horses directly off the road, you will basically be able to do it. Something went wrong.
But in Songjiang City, there are many people and cars, and it is already night. Even if there are gas street lamps on the street, the dim gas lamps cannot be too dense, and there will only be one at a distance, so Even though the road surface is visible, it is not clear.
When Sun Xu was driving at this time, he naturally had to be very alert to avoid any accidents.
The accident itself was nothing, but today I was traveling with Miss Meng, so it would be bad if something unexpected happened and disturbed the beauty.
The place where they live is about five or six kilometers away from the riverside, but this is a straight-line distance... In fact, there is no straight road that leads directly to the riverside. You have to go around several streets to reach the riverside.
Calculating this, the actual distance may reach seven or eight kilometers.
For the sake of safety at night, the carriage driven by Sun Xu did not go very fast, probably only at a speed of 12 or 13 kilometers per hour. The journey took more than half an hour at least.
For such a long time, it is natural that two people cannot drive alone and keep silent, but chat and move forward.
They talked about some ordinary daily topics, and talked about trivial matters around work and life.
After chatting for a while, Sun Xu felt that Miss Meng no longer had too much restraint. At least she would not move out blindly and kept as much distance from Sun Xu as possible.
Instead, they just sat there and let nature take its course. The distance between the two people also gradually narrowed under this situation, and in the end they were no more than a punch apart.
Sun Xu could even clearly smell the perfume emanating from behind her ears. It was a faint scent of jasmine, with a hint of lily of the valley mixed in. The overall look was fresh and elegant. There is an atmosphere of a well-educated lady.
The smell of this perfume, in this cold and dim winter street, gave Sun Xu the feeling of being in an ancient drizzle alley at the turn of spring and summer.
"It smells very good!" Sun Xu continued to hold the reins with his black leather-gloved hand, looking forward, and continued: "Elegant yet beautiful!"
After hearing this, Miss Meng showed a little pride, but she said: "Yeah, this is just a very niche perfume brand. I bought it some time ago and this is the first time I have used it! "
Perfume is indeed just a not-so-famous brand, but although the perfume brand is not famous, it does not mean that it is cheap... In fact, most of the products in Huidong Department Store are not well-known in the outside world... but this does not prevent them from selling them expensively. .
This niche perfume costs more than one yuan a bottle, which is equivalent to one-third of the monthly salary of an ordinary worker. Ms. Meng was also cruel enough to buy it.
The most important thing is that this perfume was carefully selected by Ms. Meng, not just randomly... This perfume was chosen with great pains and cruelty and spent a lot of money to buy it, and its smell can make people like it. , which is naturally a very joyful thing.
Of course, this person is only limited to specific people!
What if a man in ordinary clothes and an ugly appearance randomly appeared on the street, came over for no reason, and then said like a pig brother: "Your perfume smells very good."
Miss Meng was definitely about to run away, so she shouted: "Rogue, help me!"
Women dress up to please their own appearance, although some say that women dress up in order to appreciate themselves and the people who like them... But, I also like the thigh era, why don't you see the thigh era dressing up for me alone...
Therefore, the person who pleases oneself actually refers to a person who can 'please oneself'... A woman will dress up for him only if she likes him; not the other way around, if he likes a woman, she will dress up for him.
Sun Xu is also a well-educated person, and he is not stupid. When Miss Meng went out with him during the day, or even when they had dinner together, there was no obvious smell of perfume on her body. But tonight when they went out to watch the fireworks together, they smelled perfume. It's natural to be able to detect some of Miss Meng's thoughts.
So the smile on his face became even bigger.
The carriage moved forward, and although the kerosene lamp on the carriage was dim, it illuminated the smiles of the two people clearly.
The smile bloomed in the night, just like the pink and white lilies blooming on a cold winter night, making people feel warm just looking at it.
After walking for more than half an hour, when we arrived at the road along the river, there were more and more horse-drawn carriages here.
Obviously, Sun Xu and Miss Meng are not the only people who come to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve, but are the common choice of many people.
After arriving here, the number of carriages increased and the roads gradually became crowded. Moreover, because of the fireworks festival, the Songjiang government had already made various arrangements. The wide road along the river had already been blocked and used as a temporary parking lot. At the same time, people were sent to guard the carriages and horses. ... Of course, parking naturally requires a fee, and it is not cheap. After all, it requires a large number of manpower to monitor it.
A carriage is different from a car. A car can be turned off and thrown there, but a carriage cannot do that. Horses are living animals, and it can easily cause trouble if left unattended.
Of course, there is no need to worry about some carriages with full-time drivers, who can watch them anytime and anywhere, but some carriages without full-time drivers are not good, so they need special manpower to look after them.
At the same time, various warning lines were set up early in the Yanjiang Green Park outside Yanjiang Avenue, and a large number of patrol police and even armed patrol police were stationed and patrolled.
Sun Xu and the others also saw a group of more than ten people in front, carrying long guns and pistols at their waists. Armed patrols with short sticks were passing by in front. After seeing the majestic appearance of the armed patrols, Sun Xu and the others were not afraid. , and even felt very at ease.
Such a large-scale event is naturally crowded with traffic and mixed with people. Without sufficient official security forces, they would be afraid of running into trouble.
After arriving at the place, Sun Xu drove to the place. He wanted to get off the car and continue to the Riverside Park, but found that there were too many people in the Riverside Park. In the end, he decided not to go to the Riverside Park and just waited in the carriage to watch the fireworks.
Anyway, the fireworks will soar into the sky and bloom in the night sky, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see them from a distance by the river.
After parking the car and fastening the horses' reins to the pillars, Sun Xu also fed the horses water and feed to replenish their physical strength.
After finishing my work, I saw a half-grown man carrying a pole selling hot tea, snacks and other festive gadgets. I quickly walked over and bought two cups of hot tea and snacks before returning to the carriage.
While chatting with Ms. Meng, I waited for the fireworks event to begin.
They didn't wait too long. About a quarter of an hour later, they saw some patrol officers holding trumpet-shaped microphones and shouting that the fireworks show was about to begin. They asked everyone to choose a place to watch, not to move around, and to watch the horses carefully to avoid danger. The horses were frightened during the fireworks show.
About half an hour later, suddenly there was a loud noise from the river in front, and then a meteor-like firework shot into the sky, making bursts of whistling sounds. After a few seconds, the firework exploded, and a burst of firework followed. A banging sound reached my ears.
At the same time, the light emitted by the fireworks filled the entire sky like shooting stars!
Before the meteors in the night sky extinguished, three more large fireworks soared into the sky, and then a whole row of small fireworks rose in the center of the river!
The grand fireworks continued to bloom, instantly lighting up the night sky in Songjiang... Sun Xu raised his head and watched the fireworks show, unable to help but half-open his mouth, and did not react for a long time.
This scene is so shocking!
After coming back to her senses, she looked sideways at Miss Meng. At this time, Miss Meng also looked shocked and excited. In the end, she even couldn't help shouting "Wow wow wow".
Her delicate face looks extremely alluring under the light of fireworks!
The next second, Sun Xu stretched out his right hand and grabbed her hand... Although the two of them were actually wearing gloves at this time and were not touching each other, Miss Meng next to her was still obviously stunned, her face lit up with fireworks. It looked even redder under the firelight, but after a slight struggle it didn't open, so there was no struggle.
Sun Xu raised his head again, and the fireworks in the sky continued to illuminate the sky, gorgeous and dazzling!
The fireworks this night are destined to be the most shocking and unforgettable fireworks show he has ever seen in his life!
