you at that time

The first close contact was when my mother left me in her shop because of something. Before my mother left, she asked her to watch me. Maybe she was afraid that I would run around, so she sat next to me until my mother came back. I chat.

"Your mother said your name is Lu Sui, what kind of Sui is it?"

I said, "Ears of rice ears."

She nodded: "Can I follow your mother and call you Sui Sui?"

I thought for a few seconds: "No, we are not familiar."

I don't know what's so funny about this sentence, but she suddenly laughed happily, nodded after a few times, and said, "Okay, I'll call you Lu Sui first."

She then started to ask my age, where I went to school, and what year I was a student. After a few questions, she had nothing to say. She seemed to have never dealt with a guest as old as me. She propped her head to think and talked to herself. Sentence: "What to do?"

A few seconds later, she asked me: "Sister taught you flower arrangement? Do you like flower arrangement?"

I glanced at the clusters of flowers behind her and shook my head: "I don't like it."

She laughed twice, shrugged at me, then turned around and took a flower basket: "There's nothing you can do if you don't like it, the only thing you can do here." She tilted her head and smiled at me: "Just keep me company."

So for the next few minutes, I just sat and watched her arranging flowers. Occasionally, she would ask for my opinion. Gradually, for some reason, the basket of flowers finally moved in front of me.

"It's beautiful." She smiled and clapped her hands: "Your mother hasn't bought any flowers today, so this is it."

She said she took the scissors and cut some unsightly leaves. After she finished, my mother happened to come in through the door.

"Is Sui Suo good?"

My mother put down her bag and pulled up a chair to sit beside us.

Jian Xuqiu nodded, and moved the basket of flowers just now to my mother with a look of appreciation: "Hey, Sui Sui made it."

She said ah, then turned to look at me: "Are we familiar now? Can I call you Sui Sui?"

Before I could answer, my mother laughed, patted my head lightly, and looked at me: "You and Sister Xu Qiu said that you can't be called Sui Sui because you don't know each other well?"

Jian Xuqiu laughed twice and interrupted me: "It's nothing, I'm teasing her."

Mom finally bought the basket of flowers and put them on a cabinet at home.

Every time she came back in the past few months, she would bring a bouquet of flowers. Although I don't know her purpose, she didn't care about those flowers in the end, and was discarded by her aunt after they withered.

I thought that she probably wouldn't care about the flower basket, so I secretly took the flower basket back to the room while she was sleeping that night.

Later, I often went to Jian Xuqiu with my mother, and took them with me when I had a lot of homework. She was very good at chatting, and there was always something to talk about, either about the fun things I encountered today, or the new things I encountered yesterday.

In order not to disturb me, she would occasionally order me a drink, and when my mother was away, she would just sit quietly and play with her flowers.

One day my mom asked if she had a boyfriend.

My hand holding the pencil for drawing suddenly paused, and the refill snapped.

"No." She looked at my mother with great interest: "Sister Hongyu, would you like to introduce me?"

My mother smiled: "I have people if you need them."

She waved her hand: "Just kidding."

The flower that I brought back to the room died after taking care of it for a while.

Seeing that I liked going to Jian Xuqiu's place with her, my mother asked me every time I went, and stayed there for a long time after I went.

At that time, I always thought that I liked the comfortable feeling, the comfortable environment in her store, the songs played there, the state of her flower arrangement and my homework without interfering with each other, and the chat between her and my mother. .

I found out later that I just like Jian Xuqiu.

Chapter 55

On my 14th birthday, coincidentally, the school assigned a lot of homework, and the next day's public class, the teacher contacted the parents one by one to supervise their children's learning.

So at the beginning of the day, my mother didn't agree to take me out with me.

I was soft and stubborn, and said almost all the good things, and even swore that the next exam would improve by 10 points. Finally, I mentioned my birthday, and finally let my mother let go and take me out.

But she thought that I wanted to go to the newly opened playground in the suburbs.

Before that day, I actually made a plan. The first sentence I saw Jian Xuqiu, I would tell her that today is my birthday, I am 14 years old, and I want to ask for a present.

I want to see what she will give me.

But when I saw her, before I could decide which sentence to say first, my mother pulled me to the stool inside to let me sit down, and told me to do the paper first.

I had no choice but to be obedient.

Not long after I did a few questions on the paper, my mother said what I wanted to say.

She said: "Sui Sui's birthday is today, I'll take her to the playground later, do you want to come together?"

I looked up immediately after hearing this, and what I saw was her smiling and shocked expression. She opened her eyes wide and turned her head to look at me to confirm: "Sui Sui's birthday is today?"

I licked my lips and nodded: "Yeah."

She looked at me with crooked eyebrows: "Happy birthday!"

She said that she turned around after playing and cut a red rose from behind with scissors, wrapped it carefully in paper, and finally tied a bow and handed it to me: "Happy birthday."
