In the second year of acquaintance, the girl and the boy began to fall in love, and soon fell in love. The girl's name is Xiao Qian, she is a city person, and her parents are both employees of public institutions. The boy comes from the countryside, named Ah Xiong, after graduating from high school, he came to Xiaoqian's city to work and worked in the same company as Xiaoqian.
Once, Xiao Qian took Ah Xiong to a birthday celebration banquet for her girlfriend Xiao Fang. When Xiao Qian saw Xiao Fang's boyfriend give Xiao Fang a cluster of red roses, and also held a bright necklace to wear on Xiao Fang, her face was full of envy, and she couldn't help but say softly in Ah Xiong's ear with a little squeamishness: "Honey, that necklace is so beautiful, I hope to receive such a gift from you on my birthday"! The boy saw it in his eyes and listened in his heart. But the necklace was a little expensive, because he didn't have a high income, he had to pay rent, and he had to help his sister pay tuition, and he couldn't afford to buy that necklace for a while.
Soon, Xiao Qian's birthday also arrived. On his birthday, Ah Xiong gave Xiao Qian a delicate gift box. Xiao Qian excitedly opened the gift box, which contained a paper necklace woven from oil paper printed with a rose pattern. Gifts look ordinary, but they are exquisite. Because Xiaoqian and Ah Xiong are in love, the girl in love receives a gift from her beloved for the first time, and you can guess how surprised the mood is. Xiao Qian put it on, looked left and right in the mirror, and felt that she was really happy. Xiao Qian said to Ah Xiong, if it was a real gold necklace, it would be fine. Romance is over for a while, romance is only for a lifetime! Xiao Qian wore the paper necklace sent by Ah Xiong for a few days and did not wear it for a few days, because she was afraid that people would see it and made fun of her.
……
Xiao Qian later married, and the groom was certainly not Ah Xiong. In addition to still going to his low-paid class, Ah Xiong will write some articles in the space journal in his spare time, but Xiao Qian rarely reads it after marriage. Xiao Qian did not marry Ah Xiong because Ah Xiong's income was low, and she felt that Ah Xiong could not give her a happy life, coupled with the opposition of her parents, so she no longer interacted with Ah Xiong, although she once loved him very much. What Ah Xiong did not expect was that Xiao Qian married a rich company owner shortly after she was estranged from him. When she got married, Xiao Qian's ears, neck, wrists, ankles, etc., wore gold and silver all over her body, and the golden light was shining. The paper necklace that Ah Xiong once gave her had long been discarded by her in the pile of old clothes.
Unfortunately, the good times were not long, and in a few years, her husband was in trouble because of an accident at the company, and her husband was also imprisoned for involving illegal acts. In the face of all this, Xiao Qian almost collapsed, feeling that she was the most unfortunate woman in the world. From that moment on, she was no longer a rich wife, poor days had to be faced, and the life of wearing gold and silver and wearing famous brands every day was a thing of the past, and she was somewhat depressed and frustrated. One day, she pushed aside the pile of old clothes, took out a piece to wear, and accidentally found a paper necklace, she suddenly remembered Ah Xiong who gave her a paper necklace, and the happiness of the past rippled in her heart. She wished she could see Ah Xiong again at the moment.
In order to make ends meet, Xiao Qian found a clerical job and continued to work. Perhaps by coincidence, one day, Xiao Qian met Ah Xiong on the way to work. Ah Xiong is still lively and cheerful, and invites Xiao Qian to his house. Xiao Qian originally thought that Ah Xiong should still be single. Unexpectedly, since separating from him, Ah Xiong also got married. But instead of buying a new house, they are renting a house. Xiao Qian saw that the furnishings in Ah Xiong's home were simple and simple, and they were still very simple. Ah Xiong's wife, Zhishu Dali, is very polite, pours tea for Xiao Qian, and asks for warmth. During the conversation, Xiao Qian saw that Ah Xiong's wife was also wearing a paper necklace, which was almost exactly the same as the paper necklace that Ah Xiong gave her at that time. When Ah Xiong's wife left the living room to cook, Xiao Qian burst into tears in an instant, feeling that Ah Xiong was very happy, and so was his wife. Unlike himself, he was embarrassed and embarrassed, and he didn't even know that her husband had done something out of the house and cheated on him before.
Later, once after work, Xiao Qian was idle and had nothing to do, holding her mobile phone to look at Ah Xiong's space log, and accidentally saw an article that made her stunned, the title of the article was "You and My Paper Necklace". After Xiao Qian read the article, the tears couldn't help but flow out, and she understood everything. She quickly opened the old clothes piled up in the cupboard and took out the paper necklace again. She carefully peeled off the oil paper with the rose pattern printed on it, and after peeling off the oil paper, she was stunned, and inside the oil paper was a gold necklace. It turned out that in order to buy this necklace, Ah Xiong did not have much money on hand, secretly borrowed money from several colleagues in the company, and paid three months' salary in advance to the boss, and it was difficult to scrape together enough money to buy this necklace. Xiao Qian regretted it, wiped away her tears and carefully restored the paper necklace back...
Since then, Xiaoqian has worn a paper necklace to and from work, no matter what others say. When someone asked her who sent such exquisite things, Xiao Qian was always silent, and her heart was always saying: Many things, until they are lost, do not know its preciousness.
