Chapter 356 Date

These two shopping cards are like hot potatoes, and Su Jiaojiao doesn't want them.

She had no choice but to call Lu Jingyou and ask him to come to Jinyuan. She originally wanted to meet him at the teahouse downstairs, but when she thought about having to measure his size, she simply asked him to come to her house.

"Where are you now?" It was very noisy over there, as if Lu Jingyou was at a construction site.

"I'm at home." Su Jiaojiao looked at the watch. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon. She asked Ding Linyu and Wang Xiaoyu to leave work two hours early and go to the driving school to practice driving.

"Are you alone at home?" he asked again.

"That depends on when you come." Su Jiaojiao understood, and a faint blush appeared on her face. "If you come now, I'll be home alone. In another hour, they will be back."

"There are so many people at your house, it's not convenient for me to go up." Lu Jingyou checked the time. "I'll wait for you at the gate of Jinyuan in two hours. Let's have dinner together tonight."

"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed. She would go to Miaomiao Garment Factory tomorrow to make samples and a few shirts for him. She had to measure his size today.

The last time she went shopping, she bought several tape measures. She took one out and put it in her bag. Seeing that it was still early, she took out the data table calculated by Ding Linyu, recalculated it, and confirmed that the result was correct before putting it in her backpack with confidence.

Wang Xiaoyu did not move into the house she shared with her fellow villager before the lease expired. She returned home after she finished learning to drive.

After coming out of the driving school, Ding Linyu called Su Jiaojiao to ask what she wanted to eat. Su Jiaojiao said she would be out in a while and let Ding Linyu eat by herself.

When Chen Guilan left, she made a lot of dumplings and put them in the refrigerator, with all kinds of fillings.

Ding Linyu said she would go home and cook dumplings.

After Lu Jingyou finished talking to Su Jiaojiao, he dialed another number and called Yu Minghuai: "I have something to do tonight, so I can't come over. You don't have to wait for me."

"What's so important?" Yu Minghuai looked at the exquisitely dressed Yu Mingyuan sitting next to him and deliberately raised his voice, "Are you going on a date?"

"It'll be the same if we get together again tomorrow night." Lu Jingyou didn't admit or deny it. Yu Minghuai smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Then I'll inform you that tonight's meeting is cancelled."

Su Jiaojiao went to the gate of the community ten minutes in advance to wait for Lu Jingyou. As soon as she stopped by the roadside, Lu Jingyou's car came over.

After getting in the car, Su Jiaojiao asked him, "Where did you go today?"

"I went to the outskirts of Beijing." Lu Jingyou replied.

"I don't believe it." She couldn't come back at this time if she went to the outskirts of Beijing. It's not like she had been there before.

"It's not just the area around the Convention and Exhibition Center that's called Beijing Suburbs. Beijing Suburbs is very wide. Guess which section of the road I came back from?" Lu Jingyou should have come back early, and he even took a shower. His hair wasn't completely dry.

"I don't know." Su Jiaojiao was not familiar with that area.

"This side of the mountain." Lu Jingyou looked at her in the rearview mirror. "A good worker must first sharpen his tools. Before construction can begin on the film and television city, the surrounding roads must be clear. So, let's open the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain first."

"I understand." Su Jiaojiao understood that once the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain was opened, the entire journey time would be shortened by half, and there would be no need to take a detour.

By then, it will take at most an hour and a half to get to the outskirts of Beijing.

Therefore, this wave of business opportunities must be seized... She will first buy a few houses in the suburbs of Beijing.

Lu Jingyou took her to a new private restaurant. There were red lanterns hanging at the door, and a clump of green bamboo was faintly visible in the red light.

It's getting dark.

The light from the red lanterns was particularly dim, and the sound of opera could be faintly heard from inside. Su Jiaojiao instantly thought of the door of Aunt Yin in Wutong Village, which was mysterious and warm.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Jingyou parked the car and saw her standing under the red lanterns in a daze. Su Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Nothing, I just think these two red lanterns look familiar."

"It's getting dark now, and almost all the restaurants in the alleys are hanging red lanterns." Lu Jingyou put his arm around her, "Let's go in!"

The yard is also hung with red lanterns.

There are oval, rectangular, triangular, and round lanterns of all kinds, shining brightly in the night.

It was midsummer, the flowers in the yard were in full bloom, the night breeze was charming, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

The two of them admired the flowers in the courtyard for a while before entering the private room and ordering food. Su Jiaojiao then took out the two shopping cards and gave them to Lu Jingyou, telling him what happened last night: "I appreciate Mr. Lu's kindness, but I can't accept these two cards. Please help me return them to him."

"Just take it if I give it to you." Lu Jingyou was actually a little happy after hearing this. "My dad is a casual person. Don't mind it. He doesn't have any other thoughts."

"I really can't accept it." Su Jiaojiao put the card into Lu Jingyou's bag without hesitation, and said firmly, "Even if he wants to give me a meeting gift, I can only accept it after we meet formally. What's the point of this?"

"Okay, I'll return it to him later." Lu Jingyou expressed his understanding. "Don't worry, I know what you mean."

While waiting for the food, Su Jiaojiao took out a tape measure and measured his size. Custom-made clothing requires more precise measurements. Wherever her hand touched, it was like a feather gently tickling his heart. After she finally finished measuring, he couldn't bear it any longer and hugged her, then lowered his head and kissed her.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that the two of them stopped panting. He looked down at her and said in a hoarse voice, "You are not allowed to measure clothes for other men in the future."

"What are you thinking about?" Su Jiaojiao pushed him away with a red face. She just measured the shoulder width, sleeve length, bust and length of the clothes normally, but he had wrong ideas.

The waiter came in and served the food.

Seeing the two of them looking strange, he put down the dishes and quickly retreated, closing the door behind them.

You two look at each other.

The atmosphere became ambiguous again.

Su Jiaojiao's phone suddenly rang in her bag, breaking the silence in the room. It was Chen Guilan, who was always very loud on the phone. "Jiaojiao, your classmate Liu Ying just brought over the two thousand yuan you borrowed last time. She also brought a lot of fruit."

"Okay, I understand." Su Jiaojiao had forgotten about lending money to Liu Ying. "What is Liu Ying doing now? How is her sister-in-law?"

"Liu Ying said her sister-in-law injured her leg nerves and can no longer walk. She now relies on a wheelchair to get around. She doesn't go out to work, but has contracted a seven-acre orchard at home, and helps her brother take care of her sister-in-law and the child." Chen Guilan heard this and said regretfully, "You said she's still so young, and the child is still small..."

"Yeah!" Su Jiaojiao's mood also became heavy. She heard herself say, "Mom, I have something else to do. I'll hang up first. I'll call you when I have time."

"Get busy!" Chen Guilan knew Su Jiaojiao was very busy every day, so she advised, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat well. You can never make enough money."

"I'll remember." Su Jiaojiao responded with mixed feelings. Just as she put her phone in her bag, Lu Jingyou's phone buzzed. It was a text message from Yu Mingyuan: "Jingyou, are you really on a date?"
