Chapter 082 Swan

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the sun was shining brightly, and the warmth suddenly rose, as if spring had entered overnight.

Hu Qiaoyue took out a green cardigan from the cabinet and said, "Wear this one."

The green color was very spring-like. It was obvious that it was not brand new, but it was also very well-preserved, with a faint camphor wood fragrance. Lin Siwei stretched out his hand and touched it, and knew it was fine cashmere.

Hu Qiaoyue said, "The clothes I wore when I was a little girl were made of cashmere, don't they look good?"

"Grandma, those were the clothes I wore when I was a little girl?" Lin Siwei was shocked.

If you think about it, it must have been more than forty years ago?

"Cashmere" these days usually refers to the kind of acrylic knitting thread, but the "cashmere" Hu Qiaoyue talks about is the very expensive Kashmiri cashmere.

Hu Qiaoyue pointed to the inconspicuous big box in the corner: "My daughter's box, the cashmere will not get damaged no matter how many years I keep it."

The daughter's box in Jinling generally refers to the heirloom camphor wood box. Ordinary people can get one. It is the best dowry. For the Hu family, it was just one of many camphor wood boxes for collecting calligraphy and paintings. Later, the calligraphy and paintings disappeared, and most of the boxes went with them, leaving only this one, which treasured Hu Qiaoyue's youthful years.

Lin Siwei put on a cashmere cardigan, and Hu Qiaoyue was full of praise: "Your figure is just like when I was young, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, just right. Look how it fits you, it looks like your clothes."

Grandma praised her. There is a set.

Lin Siwei went to put on his coat again, but Hu Qiaoyue held his hand down: "Just wear this, spring should look like spring."

"Isn't spring covering up autumn frost?" Lin Siwei said.

Hu Qiaoyue said with a smile: "It depends on the situation. Normally, it's okay to cover up in spring and freeze in autumn, but it's not possible to go to a restaurant. What is fashion? It's fashionable to be a season earlier than others."

Obediently, Lin Siwei was convinced.

Grandma is grandma, and she is more fashionable than a time traveler like her.

…

The whole urban area of ​​Jinling is not big. Take the bus for four stops from Yangchuan Road to the south, and get off at the Jinling Hotel.

Jinling Hotel is a state-owned hotel and is also the first choice for many couples to hold wedding banquets during the Spring Festival. At this time, a newlywed couple was greeting guests at the door.

The newlyweds of this year are also very simple and do not have the habit of wearing red and green. The bride has neat short hair that reaches her ears. She picks out a strand and ties it with a rubber band to reveal her beautiful forehead. The groom is wearing a brand-new tunic suit and a freshly shaved hair. The temples look a bit grand. The two of them wore small red flowers on their chests, which matched the happy smiles on their faces and outshone all the flowers.

It was the first time for Lin Siwei to see people of this generation getting married. He couldn't help but stop and watch curiously. He saw guests arriving in droves, talking loudly at the door, and even greeting each other through the crowd.

A tall girl was wrapped in the crowd, looking left and right to find a way out, and stretched out her hands to block the crowds that were squeezing around.

This girl is so pretty. She has long black hair, a snow-white face, and a black leather jacket with an open collar, exposing her slender neck.

Like a beautiful swan.

Many people were looking at her, and many people were squeezing her. Lin Siwei saw a hand quietly reaching into the girl's leather pocket, and deftly holding out a wallet between his index and middle fingers...

"Thief!" Lin Siwei shouted and rushed over without thinking.

The girl reacted very quickly. She pressed her pocket suddenly and knew that she had been robbed. She immediately shouted: "There is a thief!"

Seeing that he was discovered, the thief hurriedly broke out of the crowd.

He must not be allowed to escape. Lin Siwei shouted: "Catch him, he is a thief -"

There was a panic in the crowd, and some people reacted quickly and surrounded the thief in the direction where he was running. The thief panicked and bumped into an old man.

The old man grabbed him and cursed: "You're blind, hit me!"

The thief struggled desperately, but Lin Siwei, who was squeezing through the crowd, grabbed his clothes.

"Take out your wallet!" Lin Siwei shouted.

The thief refused to admit it and shouted: "What wallet, I don't know!"

Lin Siwei said: "I saw you take the wallet out of her pocket with my own eyes!"

The girl had also arrived and shouted: "You were by my side just now. Squeezing around, my wallet is gone now, take it out!"

At this time, another elder sister suddenly shouted: "My wallet is missing -"

"I don't have it, it's not me!" The thief struggled.

"Search me!" the crowd of onlookers shouted one after another.

People these days have a simple sense of justice, and they are especially intolerant of thieves. Several men surrounded him, and after digging through their pockets, they actually took out four wallets.

"My wallet!" The girl snatched one of them, "Look, there's a photo of me in it!"

The eldest sister also squeezed over: "In my wallet, there is a big unity sheet, three pieces worth two yuan, and five kilograms of food stamps."

Huo Huo , a huge sum of money.

The two got back their own wallets. The old man grabbed a wallet in one hand and yelled majestically: "Beat this beast to death!"

A group of people rushed up and instantly threw the thief to the ground, punching and kicking him. Festive background music, accompanied by the thief's screams, made the entrance of Jinling Hotel very lively.

"Thank you." The girl and Lin Siwei squeezed out of the crowd.

"You're welcome." Lin Siwei said.

The girl said: "I'm so lucky today. Fortunately, I met you. I have a letter of introduction in my wallet. It would be troublesome if I lost it." I

just put such an important wallet in my pocket. I have to say that this girl is also very generous. .

Lin Siwei smiled and said: "You should roar when you see injustice on the road."

The girl added: "Where do you work? I will send a banner to your factory when you get back."

This is really sincere.

These days it is not popular to pay large sums of money, so sending a banner is the highest form of gratitude.

Lin Siwei waved his hand and said, "Thank you. I have to go in, see you later."

"I'll wait for you, see you later." The girl also waved to her, waving her hand like a pennant.

...

Lin Siwei scanned the hall and saw neither the Ding family nor the Gu family. He thought to himself that Factory Director Ding was very particular. After all, he was asking Mayor Gu to go to the private dining room on the second floor.

State-owned hotels don't want to call them private rooms, they have to call them private rooms.

As for Duoya, even the carved door leaves separate one room from another. Because the upper part is entirely made of glass, it is easier to find people. Lin Siwei had just walked to the third room when he heard Ding Shaowu shouting from inside: "Here, Lin Siwei, here!"

Ding Guangyao's family was the first to arrive. Gong Qian, the wife of the factory director, was indeed beautiful. Although she was a little fat, she was even more plump and bright, with a perm. The most fashionable curly hair, tied with a bright silk scarf, looks a bit like a movie star, and it is indeed worthy of Meng Chaoyang's tossing.

After hearing Ding Guangyao introduce Lin Siwei, Gong Qian warmly greeted Lin Siwei to sit down and asked Ding Shaowu to pour tea.

Lin Siwei said "Thank you, auntie, you don't have to be busy," but thought in his heart that Ding Guangyao is really shrewd. He must have inquired clearly about his life experience in the Gu family, otherwise with Ding Guangyao's character, he would definitely put it aside. The principal of the municipal middle school was also invited.

She, Lin Siwei, was invited today not only because she was Lin Siwei, but also because of the Gu family.

"Listen to my Xiao Wu, Comrade Xiao Lin, are you very good at English?" Gong Qian asked with a smile.

Lin Siwei suddenly remembered who she looked like. She looked like the fourth wife of the gambling king's family in later generations.

"Auntie, I got the award. I can only say it's okay. I really like learning English." Lin Siwei was a little modest.

Ding Guangyao said, "Oh, Xiao Lin, please stop being modest. Your Aunt Gong is asking for your help."

"Yes, my colleague went abroad and gave me a foreign product. To be honest, I can't understand..." Gong Qian was not polite and took out a small bottle from her bag, "Help me have a look, how do I use this?"

Lin Siwei took it and looked at it, and was happy: "Auntie, this is not English, this is French."

"French. " Do you understand?" Ding Guangyao exclaimed.

"I don't quite understand. But I know this is French, which is different from English. This is a bottle of facial mask." Although Lin Siwei is not proficient in French, she recognizes this facial mask.

Gong Qian looked confused: "What is a facial mask? I thought it was incense."

The "fragrance" people in Jinling refer to is what later generations called facial cream. They called "applying facial cream" "applying incense."

"A facial mask is just a thin layer applied on the face. It will nourish the skin and make it moisturized. After fifteen minutes, just wash it off."

"Pfft——" Ding Guangyao laughed . Voice.

Gong Qian's face suddenly turned red, and she said: "Ding Guangyao, don't laugh at me. Don't you understand?"

Ding Shaowu also laughed, and said to Lin Siwei: "My mother put it on her face for a long time, and said why does it smell so good? " It's not easy to absorb. It can't even be applied. Hahahaha, it turns out it has to be washed off. Hahahaha - oh! "

He forgot that he was Gong Qian's son. Gong Qian was too embarrassed to hit her husband. You? It's just a hairy chestnut, venting his anger on himself.

Lin Siwei said quickly: "We can't buy this thing in China. It doesn't matter if I don't know. It's cool that Auntie can use it."

"That's right, no one else can use it." Gong Qian turned her anger into joy and pulled Lin Siwei again, " "Then how do you know?"

Lin Siwei lowered his voice, as if sharing a secret: "My grandma came from a foreign school. She has a lot of experience and her English is better than mine. She taught me everything."

Gong Qian looked understanding . : "She's a girl from the Hu family on Yangchuan Road, she's different."

Look, she really figured out everything about herself.

Ding Guangyao is an old fox.

Just as he was cursing happily, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and several people were reflected in the glass.

"Gu...Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhang, read Shen, here, here." Ding Guangyao originally wanted to call Mayor Gu, but when he thought about whether this was a public place or not suitable for publicity, he changed his mind and read "Shen" instead. Appear affectionate.

Everyone stood up and welcomed the Gu family into the house.

Gu Mingde and Zhang Xiuqin greeted Ding Guangyao loudly. Gu Nianshen had already begun to take off his scarf and was polite. Gu Huai then came in and called "Uncle Ding"...

until the last one came in and looked at Lin Siwei. They both said happily : "Is that you?"
