Song Yan stepped forward: "Why are you here?"
"I just went to check on Xiaohai's situation, and I came to pick you up on my way here." Pei Yuchen reached out and pushed her bicycle over.
Song Yanzhi asked, "Have you told me about your brother?"
Pei Yuchen responded with a nod, "I told her, my mom doesn't agree."
His expression was somewhat sarcastic. "Forget it, I'll stay out of these kinds of things in the future."
Song Yanzhi thought about it and agreed. If it weren't for her neighbors coming to ask her personally, she wouldn't want to deal with this kind of thing.
It's not good to offend anyone, so asking around for help is no big deal.
Since Wang Yanmei doesn't agree, then forget it.
She changed the subject, "Did you go shopping for clothes?"
Pei Yuchen paused for a moment, "Buy clothes?"
Song Yanzhi glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you were going to buy clothes? If you haven't bought them yet, can we go now?"
Pei Yuchen snapped out of his daze, suddenly smiled, and said, "Okay."
The family went to a men's clothing store.
Men buy relatively few clothes throughout the year, and one piece can last a long time.
In addition, there are often work-related dinners, so Song Yanzhi felt that if she was going to buy something, she should buy something practical.
Men in the city love to buy suits; despite their high price, business is booming.
Ready-to-wear is available, but most people who want a more fitted look will choose custom-made.
Pei Yuchen found it troublesome, and he didn't really like wearing suits either. It was so hot that day, and he couldn't stand wearing a suit.
So when the other party asked if he wanted custom-made shirts, he refused: "Buying two shirts is enough, custom-made ones are too much trouble."
Song Yanzhi also felt that they didn't have the time to wait, so he said, "Let's see if there are any suitable ready-made clothes. If there are, we'll buy them."
The boss gave the two of them several white and gray shirts to try on.
Pei Yuchen has a good physique. As long as the size is about right, the clothes look very upright and standard on him. He has broad shoulders, a narrow belly, and long legs, which makes him stand out when he wears a pilot's uniform.
Now, wearing a neat and tidy shirt, her naturally aloof and restrained temperament reaches its peak.
This usually aloof man was now somewhat embarrassed to look at his wife, saying, "I feel a little tight."
He felt somewhat awkward when he saw the gaze that Song Yanzhi was giving him.
Because he had never gone out to buy clothes with his wife, and because his wife had been indifferent to him before, the two had never been close.
I don't know if she'll like what I'm wearing.
Song Yanzhi glanced at the unbuttonable buttons. To be honest, she hadn't expected that this man, who usually looked quite thin, would be wearing such a large shirt so tightly. She coughed awkwardly, "Change into something bigger."
After saying that, she looked away and went to talk to Xiaobao.
Pei Yuchen changed into a larger size, which suited him perfectly. Even the shop owner couldn't take his eyes off him, saying he could be a model.
Pei Yuchen changed his clothes, paid the bill, and the family went to buy groceries.
When we went back, we had lots and lots of bags.
As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, Aunt Wang, who had heard the commotion, ran out and asked them, "Xiao Pei, Yan Zhi, did you ask about it for your aunt? What did you say?"
Song Yanzhi and Pei Yuchen exchanged a glance.
Pei Yuchen spoke up, "I'm sorry, Aunt Wang, my mother doesn't really agree with this."
"Oh, I see." Aunt Wang looked regretful. "What about your brother? What did he say? Does he have any thoughts about it?"
Pei Yuchen said calmly, "My brother isn't home. If he has time to come over, I'll let him know."
Aunt Wang sighed, "Alright then, thank you both for your trouble?"
...
With someone helping with the cooking, the family finished dinner before six o'clock.
Xiao Bao moved his little chair down and sat in the living room to do his homework.
Song Yanzhi unconsciously rubbed her lower back; she had developed many health problems after giving birth.
For example, sitting for a long time can cause severe lower back pain.
I felt unwell on the bus yesterday and today when I came back.
After sitting in the office all day, now that I have some free time, that vague soreness and swelling comes over me.
Pei Yuchen noticed her movements and asked, "Is your back uncomfortable?"
Song Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "It's an old problem..." She looked at the chair that fit her son's back and couldn't help but ask, "Who made this chair? I want to buy one too."
Pei Yuchen glanced at it and said, "I designed this myself. Because Xiaobao is still young, there are basically no chairs that fit his size. I see that he likes to draw and write, so I thought I would get him a better chair."
Thinking that Song Yanzhi also sits at work for long periods of time, no wonder his back is uncomfortable, he immediately stood up and said, "I'll design one for you too."
After saying that, he got up and went to get a ruler to measure her height.
Song Yanzhi stood there somewhat awkwardly, only snapping out of his daze when he was patted on the shoulder.
"Don't be so tense, open your arms." His deep voice rang in her ears, and Song Yanzhi's ears went numb. She shrank her neck and quickly opened her arms.
After Pei Yuchen finished measuring, he put away the ruler.
Song Yanzhi glanced at him and asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't you write this down?"
“I’ve got it,” Pei Yuchen said.
Song Yanzhi was taken aback for a moment, then heard him say, "I happen to be home these two days, I'll go and get one for you then."
Song Yanzhi was surprised, "You made it yourself?"
Pei Yuchen hummed in agreement. "Master Pei Hai has all the timber; it won't take long."
"You can do this too?"
"I started learning carpentry when I was ten years old."
Pei Yuchen explained.
He was disliked when he was a child, so he didn't go to school.
He started earning money to help support his family at a very young age.
The same carpenter who taught Pei Hai is the same one who taught him carpentry.
Because he learns everything quickly, the teacher stopped teaching him after only six months. Pei Yuchen also felt that it wasn't difficult, so he simply used the money he earned from carpentry work to buy books and study on his own. He was self-taught and got first place in the city's high school entrance exam without ever having studied.
