Chapter 165 Chapter 165 1st update

Su Jingnian felt that he and Cui Jianzhong probably had some inexplicable fate.

Cui Jianzhong went back to China to look for someone, but he didn't find her, but she helped him find his niece. He went back to China to visit his relatives and had a feast, and she helped Cui Jianzhong find Lin Yufei.

Come to think of it, in fact, Lin Yufei neither left her hometown nor died young. In fact, her house caught fire, so she moved to another place, and she also became feudal and superstitious, so her whole family changed their names.

China's household registration system was not introduced until 1958. Lin Yufei's family changed their names before that, and when they re-registered, they already had new names. In addition, archives and information from different places were not interoperable at that time, and it was common for information to be lost. Therefore, Cui Jianzhong and Lin Yufei missed each other by accident.

When she heard that Cui Jianzhong was looking for her, the old lady was shocked and burst into tears: "I thought, I thought he was gone."

After they were separated, she returned to the capital with great difficulty and waited there for several years. Later, their mutual friend brought his "belongings" to the capital, saying that they encountered an air raid on the way and did not find him, but only found half a piece of clothes that was torn into pieces.

The dress was sewn by her own hands and could be recognized at a glance.

I spent many days in tears, and finally had to accept the fact that the person was gone.

Later, a fire burned everything, and all the carefully stored rags, photos, and stationery were gone.

As the days go by, people grow older. Sometimes when they wake up in the middle of the night and think of the person in their memory, they may even feel a little dazed and cannot remember what that person looks like.

I didn't expect that after decades, the person is still alive.

That night, Su Jingnian called Cui Jianzhong. Cui Jianzhong, who was having breakfast, dropped his chopsticks on the table with a "click". He covered his eyes with his wrinkled hands, and tears slowly fell from the gaps.

"Lao Cui, come back."

Cui Jianzhong responded with a choked voice.

Cui Jianzhong arrived very quickly. It was said that he had originally planned to visit the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and had already completed the formalities.

The two old people met at Shen Moer's house. At first, the scene was quite sad, but Xiao Liangliang interrupted them and the sad atmosphere disappeared. Moreover, Lin Yufei and Cui Jianzhong were actually quite individual people, so they did not indulge in sentimentality.

After decades of twists and turns, the two had never married or had children. After meeting again, they didn't want to waste any more time, so they soon started discussing and preparing for their wedding.

Cui Jianzhong runs his own garment factory, but Lin Yufei wanted to customize a Chinese-style dress, which Cui Jianzhong's factory could not produce. Of course, even if it could, the nearest factory was in Shenzhen, which was not very convenient.

Finally, Shen Moer took on this task.

Since the past two years, Huacai Garment Factory has set up a sample working group and selected a group of craftsmen with excellent handwork to specialize in making ready-made garment samples. These people not only make ready-made garment samples, but also learn embroidery, and occasionally undertake some particularly fine "private customization".

Huacai Garment Factory has such a working group. Not only do people outside the factory not know about it, even people inside the factory may not be aware of it.

I know there is a team that specializes in making samples, but I also thought it was the same as other factories, where they just pick a few people with slightly better skills to make the first batch of clothes.

When the clothes were finished and delivered to Lin Yufei and Cui Jianzhong, Lin Yufei was extremely satisfied.

"Both the fabric and the craftsmanship are exactly the same as what I saw at my cousin's house when I was a child." Lin Yufei stroked the delicate embroidery on the fabric.

Her cousin's family was royal family of the previous dynasty. When she got married, both her wedding dress and everyday clothes were made by an old lady who had worked as an embroiderer in the palace. The smooth fabric and intricate patterns were deeply imprinted in her memory.

Shen Moer smiled: "As long as you like it."

The fabric was bought from Su Province and is the finest silk. As for the embroidery craftsmanship, it was originally produced by the royal family, whether it was the Daliang royal family or the Daqing royal family. There may be some differences in the details, but the overall dignified and majestic style is the same.

Cui Jianzhong looked at Lin Yufei gently for a while and said, "She's really beautiful."

Lin Yufei smiled and said, "Of course, I am a beautiful old lady. I look even better in these beautiful clothes."

Cui Jianzhong was not to be outdone: "Then I am also a good-looking old man."

The two old kids bickered for a while, then happily put away their clothes.

Cui Jianzhong escorted the man out of the door and said as he walked, "I owe you a favor this time. When your factory plans to expand overseas markets, let me know and I will act as a matchmaker for you."

I'm talking about the favor of helping to make the dress.

The favor of helping to find someone is not something that can be easily repaid. Anyway, our two families live close to each other, and we can interact with each other like relatives in the future. There is no need to repay this favor.

Shen Moer understood what he meant and smiled, “I’m afraid you’ll have to repay this favor soon.”

Cui Jianzhong reached out and tapped her, then sighed, "You are indeed a young person!"

The tide of the times is surging. If he were twenty years younger, he might still have the courage to ride the wind and waves. But now, he just wants to enjoy his retirement and cherish the little time left.

On a sunny day in early June, Cui Jianzhong and Lin Yufei held their wedding.

The wedding was simple and grand, especially the dresses worn by the two elderly people, which were solemn and elegant, exquisite and beautiful. Not only the older generation of similar age liked them, but the young people also loved them very much. When they learned that they were made by Huacai Garment Factory, everyone was shocked.

Even though Huacai Garment Factory has become increasingly famous in the capital in recent years, they have always been famous for their fashionable styles. When it comes to the quality and grade of their clothes, many people still trust the old-fashioned Capital No. 1 and No. 2 Garment Factory.

In everyone's opinion, the Capital's First and Second Garment Factories are the real state-owned factories and are old brands with a long history.

This time, the dress made many people look at it in a new light.

This kind of old traditional dress is the most difficult to make. Fabric and craftsmanship are one aspect, but the most important thing is inheritance. Some patterns and embroidery methods are simply impossible to make without inheritance.

Huacai Garment Factory not only has fashionable styles, but also has a long history!

In fact, everyone in Yongning Hutong who has had "private customization" of ready-made clothes at Huacai Garment Factory knows about this more or less. It's just that "private customization" was previously limited to a small number of friends, relatives, and neighbors. It was not only to provide convenience for familiar people, but also to give more practice to the people in the sample working group.

After two years of development, the sample working group has gradually matured, and Shen Moli intends to expand production slightly, so she can use this opportunity to send a signal to the outside world.

Su Jingnian was originally going to return to the United States after completing his inspection trip, but because of Cui Jianzhong's wedding, he simply completed the formalities again and the family stayed for more than half a month.

At the banquet, Yang Qian heard everyone praising Huacai Garment Factory and couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, then stood up and left the banquet hall.

The restroom on the second floor was being cleaned. Yang Qian frowned and went to the first floor. When she came out of the restroom, she heard a quarrel coming from the door. She didn't care at first and just cursed in her heart, "Uncultured Chinese, country bumpkins". Suddenly she heard something, she stopped and walked over.

A comrade from the hotel security department stopped a couple and said earnestly: "This is a place for eating and they are having a wedding banquet. Aren't you just looking for trouble? I know it's not easy for you to come all the way here. Otherwise, if you come to cause trouble, I will take you directly to the police station."

The thin, dark-faced woman said in a shrill voice, "What's wrong with me looking for my own daughter? People in their factory said she was here, why are you stopping us? My daughter works at the Huacai Garment Factory. She is a top student at Capital University. She went to work at the Huacai Garment Factory. Tell me, as a mother, I am worried about her. I came all the way from Jiangsu Province to the capital, why don't you let us in?!"

The comrade from the security department said: "... Of course it's okay for you to find my daughter, but we have a wedding banquet here today. The host family is back from abroad, and they are very particular. No one without an invitation will be allowed in. Since you have come all the way here, you can wait a little longer. Find a place to wait."

The gloomy man said, "She is hiding from us. She obviously works at Huacai. We went to the factory to look for her, but the guard always said she was not there. She was inside today. If we don't cause any trouble, we can go in and look for her."

Comrade from the Security Department: “…”

You don't look like you're not causing trouble!

The two sides were in a stalemate when a young woman with brown curly hair came over. She was wearing high heels and had a slightly arrogant look on her face. She glanced at the couple with disdain and asked, "Who did you say you were looking for from the Huacai Garment Factory?"

The dark-faced woman said hurriedly, "Let's find Wang Sanchun. She's our daughter, and she's the section chief of the General Affairs Department of Huacai Garment Factory. Oh, and she's also a classmate of the factory director, Shen Moer! It was Shen Moer who tricked my daughter into working for her. Otherwise, with my daughter's education, she would have been admitted to the provincial government if she returned to Jiangsu Province!"

Yang Qian's eyes flickered, she hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "It's just looking for someone, it's not a big deal, let them in."

The comrade from the Security Department hesitated: "They don't have an invitation, and..." It was obvious that they were here to cause trouble.

Yang Qian waved her hand: "Uncle Cui won't mind."

Su Jingnian and Cui Jianzhong knew each other when they were in the United States. Yang Qian had met Cui Jianzhong several times before and knew that although he had a bit of a weird temper, he was actually quite tolerant towards younger people.

Besides, even if these two people were embarrassed in prison, it would be Shen Moer's face. Cui Jianzhong should be angry at Shen Moer, so what does it have to do with her?

The comrades from the security department heard the other party speaking stiff Chinese and guessed that the other party was a relative or friend of the groom. They thought that since the relatives and friends of the host family also said so, maybe people who returned from abroad have different ideas from people in China?

As soon as the comrades from the security department hesitated, the couple took the opportunity to squeeze in. Yang Qian pointed and let them go and look for it themselves.

She rolled her eyes and walked towards the sofa in the corner of the first floor.

She would sit there for a while and wait until the commotion upstairs before going back, so that people wouldn't find out that she was the one who let the person in.

On the second floor, at the entrance of the main banquet hall.

Xiao Liangliang pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mom, hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!"

Shen Moer laughed: "Okay, okay, let's hurry up."

Today the kids were at a table by themselves, having a lot of fun. The little one took the opportunity to secretly drink a lot of soda, and ran to find his mom when he couldn't hold it anymore.

As soon as she walked out of the banquet hall, Shen Moer saw two people looking at the door: "Is this the place? Why is it so big in here? There must be at least dozens of tables. What a waste of money! If our Xiaochun can also hold such a lavish banquet in the future, I can close my eyes even if I die!"

"We can't afford such a grand feast. The state-owned restaurant near our house should have at least 10 or 20 tables, right? As long as we get that damn girl's job for Xiaochun, Xiaochun will definitely find a good partner. Find a rich partner, preferably one with no brothers. Then everything will belong to our Xiaochun in the future. Nowadays, it's easy for men with good jobs and good conditions to find partners..."

Shen Moer covered her daughter's ears, picked her up, and walked quickly to the food preparation room at the end of the corridor, shouting out all the waiters inside: "You, go down the stairs and come up from the other side now, outflanking, you go over this side, take a plate and pretend to deliver food, block the road first and then lead them out, no matter what method you use, subdue them first and find an empty room to lock them up."

After a slight pause, she said, "It's done, each of you will get a fifty yuan red envelope."

The eyes of several waiters suddenly lit up.
