493 Shopping on Chinese Valentine’s Day with His Fiancée
Sun Baoshan said loudly, “Today is the Chinese Valentine’s Day. The capital is very lively. I want to go out and shop.”
“The Chinese Valentine’s Day in the capital is much livelier than in town. My sister and I have never been to the capital, so it’s normal for us to want to take a look.”
Sun Baoshan glanced at Sun Baoqian and revealed his white teeth. “Sis, am I right?”
Sun Baoqian was more reserved and smiled without saying anything.
“You’re so playful. You’re new to the capital and aren’t familiar with it yet. It’s fine even if you miss the Chinese Valentine’s Day. There are still all kinds of holidays like the mid autumn festival. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to look around.”!!
Madam Lian said gently. She still did not want Sun Baoshan to go out at this time. Her family had yet to settle down. This place was unfamiliar to her, so Madam Lian felt uneasy. She was worried about the child, so how could she let him go out to play at this time?
Sun Baoshan moved his mouth and looked at Su Hua. “Mother, Second Brother is here. He’s been in the capital for half a year. He must be familiar with it.”
After Sun Baoshan finished speaking, he smiled slyly at Su Hua and said ingratiatingly, “Second Brother, my good Second Brother, quickly say something. Mother will agree if you say something. By the way, I’m not going out to play alone. My sister wants to go too. Good Second Brother, be kind and bring us around. Four hours will do.”
Su Hua was very helpless. He looked at Sun Bocheng, Sun Ziqian, and Madam Lian and said seriously, “Grandpa Sun, Uncle, Auntie, since Qian and Shan both want to go out and play, let me be the guide.”
Sun Baoqian’s face was very red, and Sun Baoshan looked at Madam Lian expectantly.
He knew that if his mother agreed, it meant that his father agreed. If his parents agreed, his grandfather would agree. Hence, the most important thing was that his mother agreed.
Madam Lian couldn’t take it anymore. “What can I do with you? Bring two servants with you when you go out. Follow your second brother closely and don’t run around.”
Sun Baoshan nodded vigorously. “No problem.”
Madam Lian looked at her blushing daughter and said gently to Su Hua, “Hua, it’s been hard on you.”
Su Hua smiled and said, “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of them.”
It was just past three pm. After eating, Sun Baoshan could not wait to go out.
Sun Baoqian brought a maidservant and Sun Baoshan brought a manservant before leaving with Su Hua.
On this important Chinese Valentine’s Day, the streets of the capital could be said to be filled with many things. Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian were dazzled.
Lantern riddles, engraving small words, hanging red strings, and so on.
On Chinese Valentine’s Day, many engaged couples came out to shop. After the engagement, they were allowed to meet occasionally.
Sun Baoshan soon filled his bag. The manservant behind him quickly had his hands full.
Even Sun Baoqian’s maidservant could not escape. On the contrary, Sun Baoqian just walked quietly with Su Hua.
Su Hua asked Sun Baoqian, “Did you receive the letter I wrote to you?”
Sun Baoqian nodded. “Yes.”
She even found out a day earlier than her parents that Su Hua became the top scorer. He said that he was very happy. He looked at the clouds in the sky and the flowers and trees by the roadside. He said that he had written his joy in the letter and hoped that she would be as happy as him when she saw the letter.
“It’s good that you received it, but you didn’t reply to me. Why?”
Su Hua asked again. His gaze landed on Sun Baoqian’s face and he saw that her long eyelashes were trembling, her cheeks were red, and her red lips were pursed tightly for a long time, but she could not say anything.
Not only did he not stop asking, he even asked with a smile and confusion, “Since Qian has already received the letter, why didn’t you reply to me? It made me feel so worried.”
Sun Baoqian looked up and saw that Su Hua’s eyes were filled with smiles. She knew that she had been tricked. She was happy and vexed. She did not answer and only quickened her pace to the stall in front to buy a small sugar figurine.
Su Hua smiled and followed her. He accompanied her and said to the sugar figurine maker, “Uncle, I want a sugar rabbit.”
The sugar figurine was quickly ready. Sun Baoqian asked for a pony.
The two of them continued walking forward. Not far ahead, Sun Baoshan was buying something.
Sun Baoqian found it unbelievable that Su Hua would eat candy. “I didn’t expect you to eat candy too.”
Su Hua smiled. “I haven’t eaten candy for many years. This is an exception.”
Su Hua seemed to be saying something, but he didn’t say it.
Sun Baoqian’s face turned even redder.
The prosperity of the capital was nothing to her. Her eyes and heart were occupied by Su Hua.
Sun Baoshan was finally tired from shopping. When he saw a small stall that was selling cold water, he shouted that he wanted to go there and asked the manservant and maidservant to drink cold water and rest for a while.
As Sun Baoshan exhaled, he said to Su Hua and Sun Baoqian, “Second Brother, sis, you guys can shop by yourselves. Don’t go too far. I’ll rest here for a while.”
Sun Baoqian’s heart was pounding. She was both afraid and expectant. She wanted to refuse, but she could not say it.
Su Hua had already agreed with a smile. “Alright, let’s go ahead and take a look.”
Sun Baoqian agreed. Her voice was softer than a mosquito’s.
The two of them slowly walked forward.
After walking for a while, Sun Baoqian realized that Su Hua had stopped. She was a little puzzled. She looked up and saw that his eyes were smiling. He pointed. Sun Baoqian looked over and saw a marriage tree with red ribbons not far away.
Many couples chatted and laughed as they went to buy a red ribbon. Then, they walked to the tree with a smile. The two of them personally tied the red ribbon to the branches of the tree.
There were already countless red ribbons on this tree. Some were very new, but some were already old. The fiery red color had faded in the wind and rain, and they were already a little tattered, but they were still firmly tied on the branches.
Su Hua said gently, “Qian, let’s tie one up too. I heard that this place is very effective, especially when it’s Chinese Valentine’s Day. It’s all thanks to your brother’s help today. Otherwise, we would have missed this year’s Chinese Valentine’s Day.”
Sun Baoqian was a little surprised. “He didn’t do it for himself? So yesterday, he suddenly wanted to hurry up because of you—”
Sun Baoqian found it unbelievable, but she got the answer from Su Hua’s smile.
She was pleasantly surprised.
She knew that her face must be very red at this moment. She should look away, but she couldn’t bear to. Looking into those smiling eyes, she nodded and said softly, “Okay.”
Sun Baoqian felt her hand being held by Su Hua. She bit her lip and Su Hua looked ahead, holding Sun Baoqian’s hand.
The two of them arrived at the stall selling red ribbons. An old couple selling ribbons looked kindly at every couple who came here to buy red ribbons. Su Hua paid and took a ribbon. Then, she led Sun Baoqian inside and walked towards the marriage tree.
The marriage tree was very big. In the darkness, there were many people tying it up. Su Hua held Sun Baoqian’s hand and went to an empty place. She handed the ribbon to Sun Baoqian. The two of them walked around the branch and tied it together.
