Chapter 317 Amei
Chapter 317 Amei
After Zhang Jianjun settled Lou Xiao'e, he drove to find Amei.
When he just arrived downstairs of her house, he saw A-Mei standing on the side of the road, talking to a man half lying on the ground.
The man was covered in grease and looked very lazy and sloppy.
Ah Mei said to him, "My TV at home is broken, can you help me fix it?"
However, the man replied impatiently: "It can't be fixed, don't bother me!"
Just at this moment, Zhang Jianjun walked up to them with a smile on his face.
As soon as Ah Mei saw him, she immediately became happy and asked with joy, "Why are you here?"
But she immediately turned around and said angrily, "You still remember to come to me!"
Zhang Jianjun found her angry expression so cute that he couldn't help laughing. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, saying softly to comfort her, "Okay, don't be angry. I just came to see you. Come on, take me to see what's wrong with your TV."
Ah Mei brought Zhang Jianjun home and pointed at the broken TV and said, "That's it. The picture suddenly went out."
Zhang Jianjun opened the back cover of the TV, checked the circuit, and found that a part was burnt out.
"It's okay, it's not a big problem. I'll just go buy a part and replace it." Zhang Jianjun said and turned to go out.
Not long after, he returned with the new part, skillfully replaced it, and the TV soon returned to normal operation.
"Wow, you're awesome!" Amei praised happily.
Zhang Jianjun smiled and said, "No big deal. If you have any questions in the future, just come to me."
At this moment, the atmosphere became a little ambiguous, and their eyes met, as if an invisible electric current was flowing between them.
"Would you like some soda?" Amei asked in a low but somewhat shy voice.
After hearing her words, Zhang Jianjun raised his head and looked at her with a smile on his face. He teased, "Are you willing to let me drink soda?"
Ah Mei shook her head slightly and explained, "I don't usually drink much, I only drink once in a while. But if you want to drink, I can get you a bottle."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to get a soda.
However, at this moment, Zhang Jianjun suddenly reached out and held her hand, and whispered: "Forget it, let's go out for dinner."
Ah Mei heard what he said and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Let's not eat it. Go out to eat. A bowl of shark fin porridge costs more than ten yuan. I have to make a lot of plastic flowers to earn it back!"
Then he said, "How about this? I know a vegetable market where the food is very cheap. We can buy some and cook it ourselves. This way we can save money and eat fresh food at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."
Zhang Jianjun looked at Ah Mei, who still liked to save money, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Jianjun and Amei came to the vegetable market together. There were people coming and going and the sound of shouting was endless.
Ah Mei selected the ingredients with ease and bargained with the stall owner from time to time.
Zhang Jianjun followed behind her and felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw her serious look.
Soon, the two of them were holding bags of varying sizes.
"Tonight I'm going to show off my cooking skills and let you taste my specialties!" Amei said excitedly.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Zhang Jianjun responded with a smile.
They held hands and walked towards home together. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows.
The two returned to Ah Mei's small house, which was a small space full of life and warmth. There were several hand-woven ornaments hanging on the wall, and several pots of green plants on the windowsill. Although they were not expensive, they added some vitality to this simple house. Ah Mei placed the purchased ingredients on the kitchen counter one by one and began to get busy.
Zhang Jianjun was not idle. He offered to help wash and cut vegetables. Ah Mei smiled and nodded, and the two of them worked in harmony in the small kitchen. The sound of water, the sound of cutting vegetables, and the occasional conversation intertwined together, forming a warm melody of life.
"Jianjun, you have such great skills, how come you can also repair TVs?" Amei asked curiously while cutting vegetables.
Zhang Jianjun replied with a smile: "When I was in the army, I learned some basic electrical appliance maintenance. I didn't expect that I could still use it now." There was a bit of pride in his words, and also revealed his nostalgia for the past years.
Hearing this, Ah Mei's eyes flashed with admiration: "You are such an all-round talent. It seems like there is nothing you can't do."
"No, no, I just know a little bit." Zhang Jianjun responded modestly, but his heart was warm. He enjoyed the feeling of being recognized by Ah Mei, and cherished the rare tacit understanding and warmth between the two.
As night falls, the tempting aroma of food gradually wafts out of the kitchen.
Ah Mei’s cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. Several home-cooked dishes are so delicious and mouth-watering.
The two sat around the dining table and enjoyed the dinner they made themselves.
The light shone softly on them, reflecting the smiles on each other's faces and the tenderness in their eyes.
After dinner, Amei suggested taking a walk in the nearby park.
Zhang Jianjun readily agreed, and the two walked side by side on the moonlit path, enjoying this rare tranquility and beauty.
In the park, the shadows of trees are swaying, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, and the occasional chirping of insects adds a touch of natural charm.
"Jianjun, thank you for coming to help me fix the TV today and for accompanying me for dinner and walks." Amei said softly, with a hint of gratitude and tenderness in her tone.
"Amei, there's no need to say thank you between us."
Zhang Jianjun stopped and looked into Ah Mei's eyes seriously, "I'm glad to be able to help you, and even happier to be with you."
Hearing this, Amei's cheeks turned slightly red and she lowered her head.
A warm feeling surged in her heart, a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
She once thought that she had become accustomed to a lonely life, but at this moment, she discovered that the days with Zhang Jianjun by her side were so beautiful and warm.
The two continued walking, their hands unconsciously linked together.
This tacit understanding and intimacy seemed to have transcended the limits of words and became a tacit understanding between them that required no further words.
As the night deepened, the two returned to A-Mei's cabin.
Zhang Jianjun did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on the sofa and chatted with Amei about their lives and dreams.
They shared each other's past and future, and talked about their understanding and pursuit of life.
On such a quiet night, the two hearts gradually draw closer and their feelings for each other grow quietly.
"Jianjun, I've always had a dream."
Amei suddenly broke the silence.
“One day, I hope to have my own shop and sell my own handicrafts and delicacies.”
Zhang Jianjun heard this and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "This is a great dream, I believe you can realize it."
He reached out and gently held Mei's hand, "If you need any help, you can tell me, I will always be by your side to support you."
Ah Mei felt the warmth and strength of Zhang Jianjun's palm. She looked up at Zhang Jianjun with a determined light in her eyes.
: "Thank you, Jianjun. With you by my side, I believe I can overcome all difficulties and realize my dream."
