Although this is just an excuse, this is indeed a custom in the village.

The older brothers and sisters in front have not yet married, so the younger brothers and sisters behind have to wait.

Ye Jiaying didn't ask her mother if this was a custom in her family, but just assumed it was.

Gu Qinglin nodded after hearing what she said.

"I haven't thought about this. I'll tell my family about it when I get home tonight."

Ye Jiaying nodded happily. That’s right, she is such a clever little girl.

"Then are you going to Xiaoyue's house?"

Ye Jiaying shook her head.

She recalled the time when she saved Fang Fang, and when her family invited her to dinner, she felt terrified of being surrounded by her aunts and uncles.

Seeing Ye Jiaying's resistance, Gu Qinglin touched her head.

It looks like a willful kitten throwing a tantrum at people, so cute.

The kitten can be in a bad mood and not care about anything, but he can't just say nothing, he still has to persuade it.

"I think his family is very sincere. If you don't go, Xiaoyue might call you again. It's better to let you take the initiative."

Ye Jiaying pouted.

His head swayed from side to side against his hands.

"I don't want to go, please help me go."

Gu Qinglin smiled.

It's rare to see her throwing a tantrum.

"Why don't you want to go?"

"I just think it's too much trouble, too enthusiastic, and I feel pressured."

"Then I'll remind them so they don't keep mentioning it."

Ye Jiaying sighed and decided to go anyway.

She couldn't possibly cut off contact with Xiaoyue in the future. If she rejected her harshly, it would be awkward for everyone.

She raised her messy hair and looked at Gu Qinglin.

"You go with me."

"good."

"If they surround me, you have to rescue me."

"good."

Ye Jiaying was happy now.

"Oh well."

"Then I'll go back and tell them when."

Gu Qinglin gently smoothed her messy hair, with a smile in his eyes.

"After the Chinese New Year, my shop will open on the sixth day. I'll be back on the fifth day, so let's do it at noon on the fifth day."

"good."

Gu Qinglin nodded.

After confirming the date, Gu Qinglin helped her fix her hair and started the car and set off.

"Let's go to the mall first. I'll make you some new clothes. Then we can take pictures in the new clothes, and then we'll go..."

Gu Qinglin told Ye Jiaying his plans, and all she had to do was take her people and follow him.

Ye Jiaying was still very curious about the clothes Gu Qinglin made for her.

The last time I made clothes, it was a skirt, and she thought it looked pretty good.

But she had some doubts about winter clothes.

To be honest, today's winter clothes are very tacky.

Her clothes were all sent to her by her godmother from Hai City, and the styles are quite nice.

Ye's mother made a cotton-padded jacket for her, which she only wore in the dormitory and when she went home.

She wondered what she would do if the clothes were really ugly.

She couldn't dampen his enthusiasm for giving gifts, and she couldn't praise him against his will.

I was troubled until the moment I took out the clothes.

She was ready for some awkward compliments, but she didn't expect Gu Qinglin to hand the list in his hand to the clerk at the counter. After a while, the clerk took out a long blue cotton coat from the clothes room. The collar, cuffs and pockets were decorated with white fluff, which looked very nice.

Ye Jiaying's eyes lit up instantly.

“So beautiful.”

The words of praise also come from the heart.

"I'm glad you like it. Comrade Gu and our master craftsman have revised this dress several times."

The clerk was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old. Seeing Ye Jiaying happy, he smiled and said.

To be honest, all the customers who come to their clothing store are women, and occasionally there are men who come with their lovers. Comrade Gu has come here alone several times.

Comrade Ye had his measurements because he had made clothes in the store before. He came here to look at the styles of the clothes and chose the fabrics himself. Because they were rare, he remembered them very clearly.

Seeing that Ye Jiaying liked it, Gu Qinglin smiled and asked her, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"want."

Ye Jiaying took the clothes and was led into the fitting room by another female clerk outside the counter.

Gu Qinglin paid the balance at the counter and walked towards the fitting room.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and many people came to the store to pick up new clothes. The fitting rooms were also crowded. In order to protect the privacy of the customers, the men were waiting outside, so Gu Qinglin also stood outside waiting.

Ye Jiaying only tried on one coat, so there was no need to go through so much trouble. She simply took off her cotton coat and put on the new one.

Blue can actually look a bit tacky if worn improperly, but Ye Jiaying doesn't have this problem at all. The clothes make her skin look a shade brighter, making her look like an elf.

It is in stark contrast to the women wearing various red clothes next to them.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to wear bright red. Ye Jiaying is a refreshing touch among the many reds, and is particularly eye-catching.

She glanced in the mirror and thought she looked pretty. Before anyone could gather around her to discuss her, she grabbed her clothes from the salesgirl and ran away.

The others were stunned for a moment and stopped the clerk who was about to run after him.

"I didn't see the dress she was wearing."

"I want a dress like hers, too."

"It's really nice, I want to buy another one."

"That style is custom-made."

"There's nothing readily available, and now we're going on holiday."

“The fastest construction period will be two weeks.”

"Ask Master Liu what kind of fabric it is."

Ye Jiaying listened to the sounds coming from inside and was glad that she ran fast.

Everyone loves beauty. As soon as she saw how the clothes looked on her in the mirror, she knew that people would definitely watch her. How could she waste their date time here? She ran away very quickly.

When he ran outside, he saw Gu Qinglin at a glance, and ran over with a smile. As a result, he put the coat he had just taken off into the bag in his hand.

"Old Gu, the clothes you chose are really beautiful. I'll wear this one."

Gu Qinglin nodded. He knew she would like it, and it was worth his time.

"Didn't you make new clothes yourself?"

He only had a bag in his hand, and it was obvious that he hadn't made any new clothes.

"Yes, I took it back a few days ago."

Gu Qinglin said.

Ye Jiaying was somewhat skeptical of his words, but had no evidence.

She has been a little busy recently and has not thought about buying a gift for Gu Qinglin. Since he has given her a gift, she naturally has to give him a gift in return.

She nodded, and instead of pursuing the matter of the clothes, she smiled and said, "I have prepared a gift for you, too."

"Really? What is it?"

Gu Qinglin asked curiously.

"I won't tell you. I'll give it to you later."

The gift hasn't been bought yet, but she has already thought of what to give.

Gu Qinglin looked at her mischievousness, smiled helplessly, and without asking any more questions, took her out of the mall.

When they were about to leave the mall, Ye Jiaying said she wanted to go to the bathroom.

Gu Qinglin nodded and stood outside waiting for her.

Ye Jiaying slipped into the restroom of the shopping mall, took care of some personal problems first, and then opened the system mall.
