Ji Mingze rarely smokes, only under special circumstances.
Now he slowly finished smoking a cigarette, and then stood by the window for a while, until the night deepened, until his cell phone rang.
He came over and saw the call from Ji Minghao, so he answered it.
"Brother, where are you?" Ji Minghao's lively and cheerful voice came from the receiver.
"Australia."
"Ah? Brother, you are on a business trip."
"Um."
"When are you coming back?"
"In two days."
"Oh, brother, have you seen the wedding photos that Xun Xun and I took? We are in the crowd."
"Looked at it."
"Hehe, didn't the photo of Xun Xun and I look good? Xing Xun is so beautiful, isn't she?"
"Um."
"By the way, brother, how much does it cost for us to shoot today?"
"Eight hundred thousand."
"Oh, that's what Xun Xun is asking. She is always worried about spending too much money on our family. I bought her a mobile phone last night. She thought it was too expensive and wanted to return it. She didn't accept the red envelope I sent her."
Ji Mingze didn't say anything, and after two seconds he said: "You guys see what kind of wedding clothes you like, and then we'll have them made."
"I got it, brother, let's do this for now, brother, by the way, brother, you haven't passed Xun Xun's friend application yet, hurry up and pass it. She added you yesterday, but you failed."
"knew."
"Then I'll hang up. Brother, take care of yourself outside. Good night."
A beep came from the receiver.
Ji Mingze exited the page, opened WeChat again, looked at the friend request, and after a while, he clicked accept.
Soon, he received a message from Yu Xun:
"Brother, thank you for the bird's nest you brought yesterday. It's so valuable. You also helped us book the wedding dress store today. Thank you. In addition, grandma asked you to come back for dinner when you are free."
Ji Mingze looked at the message and then started typing: "You're welcome, okay."
Yu Xun smiled at this concise message. She could almost imagine his paralyzed face when he sent this message.
She didn't bother him anymore and sent a message to thank him. She felt at ease and went to the balcony to find her grandma.
Grandma was doing handicrafts on the balcony of the room. There was a mobile phone on the chair in front of her, and there was a soft cushion under the mobile phone. She was afraid that the mobile phone would fall or something. At this time, Huangmei Opera was playing on the mobile phone.
Yu Xun was surprised when she saw the handicraft, "Grandma, where did you find this handicraft?"
Grandma smiled and said, "I went out for a walk this afternoon and found it in an alley."
"That must not be a nearby alley, right?"
After all, this is the city center, which is more prosperous, and there are no rental houses around.
Grandma said: "At the back of that big supermarket."
Yu Xun stepped forward to take a look at what grandma got this time. It was a black elastic band with a small oval head. All grandma had to do was to connect the oval and then use a small hammer to knock it tight.
While grandma was doing it, Yu Xun asked: "Is this the elastic band in sportswear? How much does it cost to make one?"
Grandma said: "Three cents. I didn't ask the boss what it was for, but I guess it's the elastic band inside the clothes."
Yu Xun hummed and sat down to help. Grandma asked her to take a bath first. Yu Xun nodded and said, "Grandma, please turn on the light when you are doing it on the balcony."
With that said, Yu Xun turned on the balcony light.
Grandma immediately said: "No need to turn on the lights, no need to turn on the lights. The street lights in the garden are very bright. Nettle Nettles, we are living in someone else's house now, so we can save as much as we can. His uncle will still have to pay the electricity bill." "
Yu Xun hummed, and then went to take a shower first.
After taking a bath, the two of them sat on the balcony and did some handicrafts for a while. When grandma saw her coming, she turned off the lights again, fearing that it would be bad for her granddaughter's eyes.
Now Yu Xun picked up a handicraft to make, and grandma asked her: "Did your dad deposit the gift money into your card?"
Yu Xun said: "Probably not. I didn't receive a text message reminder from the bank."
Grandma immediately put down the handiwork in her hand, and then called Ye Bufan, "Bufan, why haven't you deposited the gift money into your Xingyin card?"
"Mom, haven't I been busy these two days? Mom, don't worry, I am Xun Xun's father, how can I still be greedy for her money?"
"As long as you know, you can't spend this money carelessly. You have to buy a dowry for Xun Xun."
"Then don't save it now. You decide what to buy. When the time comes, we'll be together. I'll pay and I'll save the rest for Xun Xun."
"also."
Grandma still trusted her son. She said into the phone:
"I asked Minghao, but he didn't know what dowry the woman wanted, so I won't ask my mother-in-law, we can figure it out ourselves.
I thought that according to our customs, we should have two sets of eight pieces for the bed, as well as a red box, a descendant bucket, a wedding basin, a sugar jar... In addition, three pieces of gold jewelry, earrings, necklaces, bracelets... "
Grandma read a long sentence, and Ye Bufan listened on the other end of the phone. After she finished reading, he said, "I understand."
Then he asked: "Mom, where are you living now? When will you come back?"
Grandma said: "I won't be back for a while."
Ye Bufan said: "Then you still plan to live outside? You asked me to buy a dowry again. Where should I put the dowry?"
Grandma said: "If you buy it, I will have a place to put it."
Ye Bufan was very angry when he saw that the old man refused to disclose the details and asked Yu Xun to answer the phone.
Grandma asked: "Why are you looking for Xun Xun?"
Ye Bufan said: "Talk to her, what's wrong, Mom, do I need your permission to say a few words to Xun Xun now? I'm not Xun Xun's father?"
Grandma handed the phone to Yu Xun and shook her head.
Yu Xun understood, nodded, took the phone, and called Dad.
Ye Bufan quickly sighed and said on the other end of the phone: "Xun Xun, how are you and grandma doing?"
"We're fine."
"Then where are you staying now? Are you in a hotel? Or are you staying at Ji Minghao's house?"
Without waiting for Yu Xun's reply, he added: "Xun Xun, your grandma is old and stubborn, and she doesn't know what to do anymore, but you have to be sensible.
Tell me, whether you are staying in a hotel or at Minghao's house, it is outrageous, especially in Minghao's house. You are not married yet, but you are living there. How will people think of you? "
Yu Xun said: "I didn't live in Ji Minghao's house."
"That means staying in a hotel? That won't work either, Yu Xun, where can you live outside at home instead of at home?
Please advise your grandma to come back quickly. You are getting married soon. Should you ask the man to pick you up at the hotel on the day of your wedding? Isn't this a joke? "
"I think it's very convenient to live outside." Yu Xun said on the phone, "As for the day of the pick-up, you don't have to worry. Grandma has said that we will go home before then, and we won't let you and mom get off the stage. .”
Yu Xun's words immediately choked Ye Bufan.
He quickly said: "Dad is not afraid that we will not be able to come to the stage. Isn't he worried that it will be bad for you to live outside?"
