Jianshu thought about it and decided that he could rest for two hours at noon, which was enough time for a blind date.

If there is no chemistry between the two of you, there is no need to waste time. Just talk it out directly. You will still have time to have a meal then.

If both of you are interested, you can go for lunch together. Two hours should be enough. If that doesn't work, it's okay to go later in the afternoon.

After thinking it over, Jianshu agreed directly, "Okay, let's meet tomorrow at noon. Where shall we meet?"

"Just stay at home. Wait for me and your Uncle Zhao at the door after get off work tomorrow at noon. We will pick you up then." Meng Ying said.

The department store is some distance away from the military compound. It would be a waste of time for Jianshu to ride a bike or take the bus there. It would be faster for Zhao Mingze to drive to pick him up.

Of course, it was also agreed between her and Zhao Mingze that both of them had to show up at the department store.

As for choosing the blind date location at home instead of somewhere else, it is because it is convenient and it is also because it will not attract attention.

When you don't know whether a blind date will be successful, it's better to keep a low profile. If outsiders find out, there will inevitably be gossip.

Jian Shu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that the blind date was at Zhao's house. After all, it was a familiar place, which made her feel a lot more at ease.

The unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar people, and unfamiliar blind date all together made her feel a little overwhelmed.

As for the reason why Meng Ying and the others chose to hold the meeting at home, she could guess a little bit. After all, it was all for her own good.

"Okay, auntie, I got it. I'll wait for you and Uncle Zhao at the department store tomorrow at noon." Jian Shu said, clearing away the thoughts in his mind.

At this time, the two had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Jian Shu got out of the car, opened the door, and invited Meng Ying to come in and sit for a while.

Meng Ying waved her hand and refused, "No, now that we've finished talking, I'll go back first. I have two little ones at home. And Ming Jing went to visit your Uncle Qian this afternoon, and your Uncle Zhao asked them to come to our house for dinner in the evening so we can get together."

Jian Shu gave up after hearing this and waved goodbye to Meng Ying, "Then take care, Auntie. I won't keep you here. Be careful on the road."

Watching Meng Ying riding away on her bike, Jian Shu pushed his bike into the yard and closed the gate.

Then he walked into the room and started rummaging through the closet.

Since you have agreed to a blind date, Jianshu will treat it seriously.

A blind date is a very formal thing, so you can't just go casually. You have to dress up properly. This is the most basic respect for each other.

If you go there in a sloppy manner, who are you trying to humiliate? It would be a great offense to the two of them.

When she first moved into the courtyard, many of the clothes didn’t fit her well. Some of them were taken apart by Jianshu and made into new clothes, and some were also placed in her space.

The clothes in her wardrobe now are basically all the clothes she bought in the past two years, some of which she made herself and some of the nice ones she bought in department stores.

When she first started learning how to make clothes with Aunt Chen, she thought it was not practical to buy clothes all the time, and she didn’t really like the styles.

Until I really learned how to make a complete piece of clothing for myself, my interest in it became uncontrollable.

After all, what little girl today didn't love Barbie dolls as a child? Who hasn't secretly made clothes for her own Barbie doll using needles and scraps of fabric at home?

At least when she was a child, Jianshu used a lot of fabrics at home and even cut up her own clothes just to make beautiful clothes for Barbie dolls.

Although the sewing was crooked, Jianshu felt a great sense of accomplishment at that time.

My obsession with handicrafts is ingrained in me. Although I gradually forget about it when I grow up, once I get in touch with it again, I can’t stop.

When I didn't have any skills, no matter how many ideas I had in my mind, they were just thoughts. But when I learned how to make clothes, Jianshu could no longer suppress his ideas and wanted to put them into practice.

She has skills, a lot of fabrics in her space, and she is usually quite free, so she has enough time and energy to make clothes.

At the beginning, she was still quite new to the craft and the clothes she made were very rough, so she had to take them apart and redo them. She did this over and over again. Over time, her skills improved and her clothes became more and more exquisite.

Having experienced the era of information explosion, she has a lot of ideas in her mind. Although many clothing styles are not suitable for this era, she still makes them in her spare time. After all, just because you can't wear them now doesn't mean you can't wear them in the future.

Even if she can't wear it outside, she can still appreciate it in her space.

She also had another idea in her mind: having come to this era, she must take advantage of the east wind of reform and opening up and become a trend-setter of the times.

After experiencing the restrictions of the past decade and getting used to seeing the black, gray and blue colors on the streets, people have freed themselves from the constraints of their thoughts. Their aesthetic tastes have been fully aroused with the rise of bell-bottom pants, red skirts and frog-eye glasses.

Among food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing and photography come second. The clothing industry is a big cake, and Jianshu also wants to occupy a place in it.

If she wants to set up her own factory and her own brand, unique designs are essential. She also wants to take advantage of these years to prepare in advance so that she can cope with the arrival of that great era.

In the past two years, she has accumulated a lot of clothing styles. Those that are not suitable for wearing are put in her space, and those that have been slightly modified and are similar to the fabrics and styles of today's clothes are placed in the closet for daily wear.

Jianshu took out all the seasonal clothes from the closet and piled them on the bed.

The bed was filled with tops, pants, and skirts. There is always one piece of clothing missing in a woman's wardrobe. Looking at the clothes on the bed, Jianshu was always a little dissatisfied.

But I have a blind date tomorrow, so it’s too late to buy one or make a new one.

After choosing and selecting among the clothes, Jianshu finally chose a simple white shirt with a long skirt. After all, due to the limitations of the times, she couldn't choose some fancy clothes.

Besides, for a blind date, just keep it simple and generous. A shirt with a skirt, black and white, a classic combination.

After putting the selected clothes aside and putting the clothes on the bed back into the closet, Jianshu went to the shoe cabinet to look for shoes.

Jianshu asked Mr. Chen next door to help her make the shoe cabinet to store her shoes.

Most of them are cloth shoes, and there are fewer Liberation shoes and leather shoes. It’s not because of anything else, but because cloth shoes are comfortable to wear. Because of this, Jianshu even learned how to make shoes from Sister Liu. Now most of the cloth shoes in the shoe cabinet are made by her.

But I have a blind date tomorrow, so it’s not appropriate to wear cloth shoes. A shirt and a long skirt with cloth shoes is unbearable to Jianshu.

After looking around the shoe cabinet for a while, Jianshu finally chose a pair of small leather shoes that Meng Ying bought for her. They were simple in style and versatile.

After choosing the clothes and shoes, Jianshu went to have dinner. He had a blind date tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early today to stay alert and look good.
