[At this moment, Della's beautiful hair was spread around her body, like a small brown waterfall, flowing and shining. Her hair hung down to her knees, as if it were spread out like a piece of clothing for her. She nervously combed her hair again. She hesitated for a while and stood quietly, with one or two tears splashing on the worn red carpet. 】

In the article, the more he described how beautiful Della's hair was, the more Zhang Yucheng could understand her reluctance.

But there was no way, so Della finally sold her long hair and got twenty yuan in reward.

She finally took the money to buy a platinum watch chain, because her husband's gold watch did not have a watch strap, and this platinum watch chain could just match the gold watch. The price in the store was twenty-one yuan. After selling it to her, she had eighty-seven cents left and hurried home.

[When Della returned home, a small part of her intoxication was replaced by prudence and reason. She took out her curling irons, lit the gas, and set out to remedy the disaster caused by love and generosity... Within forty minutes, her head was covered with small curls that stuck closely together. Like a primary school student skipping class. She looked carefully and harshly in the mirror. 】

The original impulse now made her a little worried and regretful. She was worried that her behavior would make her husband angry and he would scold her severely. After all, in her husband's heart, Della's long hair was also his pride. If she After losing her long hair, will she still be as beautiful in her husband's heart as before?

Zhang Yucheng's heart clenched. She felt sorry for Della in the story.

She is cautious and her family is poor. Such a life is really unimaginable for her.

Although people's lives are much better now, there are still many poor families in very remote places. When society is developing rapidly, it seems that they have been forgotten, and some people even do not believe in their existence.

There was a film about their lives before, but it was suspected to be fake.

This made Zhang Yucheng feel very uncomfortable.

Technology and society have forgotten them, but what about art and culture? Should we abandon them too?

Zhang Yucheng seems to understand the thinking that "The Gift of the Magi" wants to bring to readers.

Zhang Yucheng murmured to himself: "The husband should have received the gift from his wife, and then the two hugged each other and cried, which reflects the love and beauty of the couple in a poor life."

"Although it is not very amazing, it is indeed a short story with a good idea and can make readers think."

The development of the story seemed to be exactly as Zhang Yucheng thought. Later, her husband came back.

[The door opens, Jim walks in, and closes the door. He is thin and very serious. Poor fellow, he was only twenty-two years old - and already he had the burden of a family! He needed a new coat, and he had no gloves.

Jim stopped just inside the door, as still as a hunting dog on the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed on Della with an expression she could not understand, which alarmed her greatly. It was neither anger, nor surprise, nor dissatisfaction, nor disgust, nor any expression she expected. He just stared at Della with that strange look on his face. 】

Zhang Yucheng felt that her husband's state was a bit strange, but she didn't think much about it and continued to read.

She was also a little nervous now. She was worried that her husband would get angry, fly into a rage, or even slap Della.

If it ends like this, Zhang Yucheng naturally cannot accept it.

The ending of the story can be ordinary or even cheesy, but it must not be disgusting.

If Qian Jian deliberately wrote an ending that disgusted readers for some effect, she would never read any of Qian Jian's works again.

[Della twists her waist, jumps off the table, and approaches him.

"Jim, dear," she cried, "don't look at me like that. I cut off my hair and sold it because I couldn't get through Christmas without a present for you. It will grow back—you don't You care, don't you? I have to do it. My hair is growing so fast. Say 'Christmas!' Jim, let's be merry. What a nice thing I bought you-- What a beautiful thing, you would never guess it.”

"Did you cut off your hair?" Jim asked laboriously, as if he hadn't figured out the obvious fact after racking his brains.

"Not only were they cut, but they were also sold," Della said. "No matter what, do you still like me the same? Even though I have no hair, I am still me, right?"

Jim looked around the room curiously. "Did you say you have no hair?"

he asked with an almost idiotic expression. 】

Looking at the conversation between the two, Zhang Yucheng was a little confused.

What happened?

In the end, shouldn't it be the husband who is moved and the two of them embrace each other in the end?

Is my husband’s reaction angry or not? Why does it feel like he seems a little confused?

What exactly does Qianjian want to write? Could it be that my guess was wrong? How will Thousand Swords end?

She was puzzled until she saw this paragraph.

[Jim takes a package out of his coat pocket and throws it on the table.

"Don't get me wrong, Della," he said. "No matter if I get a haircut, a shave, or a shampoo, my love for my girl will never diminish. But as soon as you open that package, you will You will understand why you stunned me just now."

White fingers quickly tore through the rope and wrapping paper. Then came a cry of ecstasy; and then, alas!, suddenly transformed into a woman's nervous tears and wails, which immediately required the master of the apartment to comfort her in every possible way. 】

My husband bought Della a whole set of combs as a gift!

For the temples, for the back, you name it!

It was in a display window on Broadway. It was something Della had longed for for a long time!

It's just that this set of combs is too expensive, and Della can't afford it, and the family doesn't have any extra money for her to buy what she likes.

Originally, if Della had not sold her long hair, this set of combs would have come in handy. The beautiful hair comb inlaid with jewels was a perfect match for her beautiful long hair.

But Della's hair was sold... The hairbrush bought by her husband instantly lost its function.

Zhang Yucheng opened her mouth in surprise, her mood was a little complicated.

Regretful or shocked?

It can be seen that the couple really loves each other, and they both bought Christmas gifts for each other.
