Have you ever given gifts on Valentine's Day?

On the morning of Valentine's Day, she went to work. Get up early and send her to the bus stop, which is near the square in our city center. I didn't say a word of blessing to her. At that time, I was still unemployed for nearly half a year. At that time, we would not easily ask for money from home, and our life depended on our wife's meager salary.

At that time, we rented an old-fashioned building with inner and outer rooms with an area of less than 5 square meters. The house is owned by two brothers * * *. The elder brother's family of three lives in the outer room and the younger brother's family of three lives in the inner room. Our landlord is the younger brother. He rented one room to us and transformed the kitchen into another hut. In the middle of our two rooms, there is a small kitchen, only enough for two gas tanks, and we can only cook one by one.

We lived there for a whole year, a whole winter! This house has no heating.

In the north of Valentine's Day, the city we live in is still winter.

at that time, I sent my wife to the bus stop and bought a newspaper in the corner of the square every day when I came back. First, I read the recruitment page, and second, I read the news to kill idle time.

On Valentine's Day, as usual, I bought a newspaper when I came back. The newspaper seller specifically told me that a newspaper can get a rose for free. Even though I wear a thick down jacket every day and put my hat deeply below my head, he should still know me well. I see the little couple walking in front of him in a hurry every day and buy him a newspaper when I come back. On this day, I either want to sell more newspapers, or I know the hardship of the little couple's life and tell them in good faith. I was so happy that I lowered my hat even lower and bought three newspapers at once, each of which cost fifty cents.

It's a marketing activity of a large jewelry chain. You can get roses for free when you take the newspaper page they advertised to the place where you operate. There is this jewelry store near the square.

I didn't know until I went there that a shop can only receive one rose. I am not depressed, on the contrary, I am very happy, because it is true that I can receive roses for free. I carefully wrapped the rose I just got for free in a newspaper for fear that it would be frozen. The service staff told me the locations of several other stores. I hurried to the next destination without saying anything, for fear that I would not get free roses if I was late!

I just walked more than four kilometers back and forth to get the other two free roses.
