“Why don’t you tell me the total price, and I’ll leave the fabric to you entirely?” Sun Ze’an pointed to Jiang Xue’s sketch. “Just this one.”
Jiang Xue couldn't believe that the man in front of her trusted her so much.
"I'll charge you fifteen for making it. That's the price of the materials. I'll cover it for you in advance." Jiang Xue's price of fifteen wasn't expensive, because the making of ties was very particular. Cutting, splicing, and repeated ironing, a whole set would take at least two days to complete.
Fortunately, Sun Ze'an chose a striped patchwork style, which meant he could finish a little faster.
"Okay, I'll give you twenty first. I'm a grown man, how can I let a girl like you pay for me?"
Sun Ze'an instinctively felt that Jiang Xue was a single woman, but since it was their first meeting, he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he tentatively asked, "Are the two children in the back yours?"
Jiang Xue quickly waved her hand, "It belongs to my younger sister at home. I'm looking after it for them."
Sun Ze'an felt a surge of secret joy. "Okay, I'll come and pick it up in a few days."
After saying that, Sun Ze'an hurriedly rode away on his Phoenix brand bicycle.
He was among the second batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. In that era when thousands of students were competing for limited spots, he was born into a scholarly family and was influenced by his family atmosphere from a young age, which made him a qualified senior intellectual.
But all of this has made his standards for a partner exceptionally high, to the point that he is still unmarried and childless at the age of twenty-five.
When he got home, his parents were sitting on the mahogany sofa watching a 14-inch color TV. He, who was usually quiet and reserved, unexpectedly greeted his parents today.
Sun Ze'an's parents exchanged surprised glances.
After greeting everyone, Sun Ze'an went straight into the bedroom. Jiang Xue's every smile and frown seemed to be etched in his mind. He could sense that Jiang Xue's knowledge and vision were not low.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Jiang Xue was going through a difficult time. If he could lend her a hand at this crucial moment, she might remember his kindness forever.
The setting sun, a deep red, blanketed the earth in the evening.
Seeing that today's harvest was generally good, Jiang Xue took some fabric from customers, bought some pork belly at the market, and hurried home with her two children, covered in dust.
Before they had gone half a mile, Ji Chen stopped in front of Jiang Xue on a brand-new Phoenix bicycle.
"You brought so much stuff with two kids by yourself, didn't you know to wait for me to pick you up?" Ji Chen's tone was clearly reproachful.
Jiang Xue shrugged. "I can't always trouble you like this."
Ji Chen's dark skin didn't reveal that his complexion had become slightly tanned.
"Get in the car, I'll take you back."
Jiang Xue was very curious. Had he suddenly become rich? A bicycle cost at least two hundred yuan, but she didn't ask any more questions. After all, they were just passing through.
"There's no way to sit here. You take the two children and go back first. I'll walk behind you."
“You hold Shaomeng in the back, and Shaoheng in the front. I’ll take care of both children. What if one of them falls off?” Ji Chen’s dark face was serious, and his tone was domineering and unquestionable.
Jiang Xue didn't pay attention to anything else, but when she heard the baby fall, she suddenly became a little worried and had no choice but to hold Shao Meng and sit in the back seat of Ji Chen.
"Hurry up."
Jiang Xue originally only wanted to grab the iron bar on the back table, but holding Shao Meng with one hand, Jiang Xue clearly felt that just grabbing the iron bar would make her unstable due to gravity.
"Hold onto my clothes." Ji Chen's tone was unusually gentle.
