"Madam, the food is ready." When Liu E saw Jin Han leaving, she came over to remind me in a low voice.
I nodded, got up and walked to the restaurant.
After eating, I took a shower and went to bed. I didn't want to do anything else at all. I had to accompany Li You to choose a dress tomorrow, so I had to keep my spirits up.
At this time, Jin’s mother sent me a message listing twenty or thirty kinds of Chinese medicinal materials.
She said: Wanyi, send someone to get the medicine according to this prescription and let Jin Han drink it for half a month, twice a day.
I was completely sleepless: Mom, what kind of medicine is this?
Jin's mother replied: "It strengthens the yang and nourishes the kidneys. I think Jin Han must be in poor health. If this continues, will your father and I be able to have grandchildren for a long time?"
I immediately wanted to refuse, because Jin Han had no problem at all and would not listen to my arrangement.
But after hesitating for a while, I finally agreed: OK, but I don’t know if he will drink.
Jin’s mother sent me a big OK emoticon, and then said: Don’t worry, just take the medicine and leave the rest to me.
The next day I sent Liu E to get some medicine. She looked at the bunch of Chinese medicine and asked in surprise, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
I smiled and shook my head, "No, it was my mother-in-law who asked me to get the Chinese medicine for Jin Han, saying she wanted to have a grandson soon."
I will not shy away from Liu E, so that when she sees Jin Han and Xiang Qing making love to each other in the future, she will think of me, my unlucky first wife.
"Madam, I have a relative who is an old Chinese medicine doctor. He has a prescription that works wonders after just one drink. How about I help you ask?" Liu E said kindly.
"Really? That's fine. I'll ask you to grab a few pills for me in the next two days to try." I pretended to be surprised, "If it really works, I'll give you a salary increase!"
"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. Then I'll go take a look today." Liu E was a little embarrassed.
I responded, "Okay, I have something to do today. I'm going out first. I shouldn't be back for lunch at noon."
Then I went out and arrived at the "Yisheng" bridal shop on time at eight o'clock.
Li You was already waiting for me there. When she saw me, she waved, "Yiyi, come here quickly!"
After entering the wedding dress store, the shopping guide poured a glass of warm water for the two of us and prepared some snacks. This wedding dress store is not big, and the wedding dresses in it are of average price. As Li You, she should have chosen a high-end wedding dress store. High-end bridal shop custom-made wedding dresses.
She told me that He Kang couldn't afford such expensive dresses and wedding dresses, and he didn't want to have a soft life, so he decided to choose a relatively affordable wedding dress shop.
"Miss Li, please come with me to try on the dress." The shopping guide said to Li You.
Li You got up and went to the fitting room, while I wandered around the bridal shop. Looking at the various beautiful wedding dresses, I felt a little uncomfortable.
A wedding dress means a lot to a woman, and the day I chose the wedding dress, I was disliked by Jin Han.
Just as I was thinking about these unbearable past events, the door of the bridal shop was pushed open again, and Xiang Qing and two girls walked in. The three of them were chatting in a cheerful and clear voice.
"Sister Shu?" Xiang Qing's eyes widened when she saw me, looking surprised and happy, "What a coincidence, why are you here?"
At this time, Li You came out after trying on the dress and asked me, "Yiyi, how do you like this one?"
The dark red embroidered cheongsam dress looked elegant, dignified and beautiful, but the color was a bit too dark. I thought for a while, "Is there a brighter color? This one is a bit old-fashioned."
The shopping guide quickly replied, "Yes, Miss Li can come with me to look at other styles and try them out."
Li You nodded and followed the shopping guide to continue choosing a dress.
I then answered Xiang Qing, "I am accompanying my friends to choose a dress. Are you..."
The other two girls were about the same age as Xiang Qing. The three of them were holding hands and seemed to have a good relationship.
"Our drama club is rehearsing a show, and my role in it requires a wedding dress, so I called my roommate to come with me to pick one up and rent one back." Xiang Qing replied with a smile.
"Okay, you go ahead and choose." I said softly.
"Okay!" Xiang Qing and her two friends went to choose wedding dresses, while I sat on the sofa, flipping through wedding magazines, and paying attention to Xiang Qing with my peripheral vision.
After a while, Xiang Qing and the others began to inquire about the rental price of the wedding dress from the shopping guide.
When they learned that the rent cost one thousand a day, the three of them looked at each other and seemed unable to accept it.
Xiang Qing asked sheepishly, "Can it be a little less? We need to rent it for about two days to make sure it doesn't get dirty or damaged!"
"Sister, please help me. We are all students and we are used to perform in dramas. The drama club does not have enough funds." Another girl also begged.
This made the shopping guide girl very embarrassed. She was not a boss lady, so she could only politely let Xiang Qing and the others choose a cheaper one.
But Xiang Qing just fell in love with this one and was reluctant to change it.
Seeing the three of them reluctantly returning the wedding dress, I stood up and walked over, "Xiang Qing, just take it with you. I'll pay the bill later."
"No, no, no, Sister Shu!" Xiang Qing quickly shook her head upon hearing this, "Let's just choose a cheaper one!"
"If you like this one, choose this one. You will always feel regretful if you change it to something else. Some things will never change once they are confirmed." I curled my lips and said a profound philosophy.
Not only the wedding dress, but also the selection of the person. Once you meet true love, everyone else will be left behind.
Ignoring Xiang Qing's objections, I swiped my card directly, and then asked the shopping guide to wrap up the wedding dress and hand it to her, "You can return it to me when your club has enough funds."
Xiang Qing's two roommates were also stunned by my generosity and thanked me repeatedly.
Xiang Qing blushed and her watery eyes were full of embarrassment. She whispered, "Thank you, Sister Shu. I will return the money to you."
"Don't worry about the small money." My smile deepened.
After Xiang Qing and the others left, Li You finally chose a dress of her choice, a red sleeveless long dress. The hem reached about the middle of her calf, revealing her slender ankles. The waist was trimmed to be very slender and elegant. A layer of tulle was embroidered, but it just didn't look like the quality was very good.
Li You turned around in the mirror, "How do you like it? I think this one is very good!"
"Okay, okay, the color suits you very well!" I praised.
"Okay, let's take this one!" Li You agreed immediately, then asked me to take a photo, and she sent it to He Kang.
Two minutes later, a happy smile appeared on Li You's face, and he happily said to the shopping guide, "Wrap it up for me, thank you."
The dress selection journey ended here. Li You wanted to invite me to dinner. I chose a Japanese restaurant, the same one where Xiang Qing had a dispute last time.
When he arrived at the store, Li You looked at the sushi, sukiyaki pot and a plate of sashimi that were served, and his face collapsed, "Yiyi, why did you think of eating here? I feel that the ingredients here are a bit stale... "
A small store with a per capita consumption of less than RMB 100 cannot ask others to provide quality products with a per capita consumption of RMB 1,000.
I'm just curious, will Jin Han accompany Xiang Qing to eat these things in the future? It's impossible for Xiang Qing to transform from a commoner to an elegant aristocrat overnight, right?
"I think the business here is pretty good, let's give it a try." I picked up a piece of sushi and put it in my mouth. It was actually quite delicious.
