"Ayan also likes panda handkerchiefs?" The old lady looked at Pei Yan with a smile, "Then this one is for you."
Pei Yan wanted to say, what's the point of a grown man carrying a handkerchief on his body. But looking at the old lady's expression, it was like a child who found delicious candy and was eager to share it with his friends. He swallowed the rejection that was about to come out of his mouth, folded the handkerchief and put it in his pocket: "Thank you, auntie, how did you know I like this handkerchief?"
"Oh, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. How can I not tell what you little kids like?" The old lady was in a good mood to know that her descendants appreciated the things she liked. At lunch, she drank half a bowl of health-preserving soup without any persuasion from her family.
After dinner, Yang Shao wanted to coax the old lady to take a nap, but she was in a particularly good mood today and asked him to talk to Pei Yan about her childhood. Thinking of Pei Yan's unwillingness to say a word to the Chen brothers, Yang Shao looked at Pei Yan worriedly.
The old lady was unaware of her grandson's worries. She gently patted the back of Pei Yan's hand and said, "You look like your great-grandfather. You are blessed."
Hearing this, Pei Yan smiled without comment. He lost his father and mother when he was young, and grew up under his grandfather's lap. Seven or eight years ago, after his grandfather passed away, he lived a life where one person could feed the whole family. It was hard to say whether he was blessed or not.
Since the old lady said he was blessed, he would consider himself blessed.
"It's a good time now. You young people live a stable life. You have airplanes and cars to travel. You can travel and have fun when you have nothing to do." The old lady's eyes gradually became long. "In our time, many people lived in hiding. Every night, young and middle-aged people would guard the village entrance and live in fear. Later, for many years, I would wake up from my dreams when I heard the sound of airplanes at night, fearing that it was an air raid by the invaders."
"Grandma." Yang Shao felt a little uneasy. Recently, his grandma was always reminiscing about the past and her health was getting worse. This made him think more.
"What's wrong with you, kid? Don't always interrupt when your elders are talking to guests." The old lady glared at Yang Shao, full of energy.
Hearing this scolding, Yang Shao immediately felt relieved. The fact that he could be scolded like this showed that he was in good health.
The old lady talked for two or three hours, and Pei Yan sat on the sofa and chatted with the old lady for two or three hours. When he left, the old lady warmly welcomed him to visit her home often, and even gave him two more panda handkerchiefs.
Pei Yan was sent out by Yang Shao with three handkerchiefs in his pocket. Seeing Yang Shao's hunched face, Pei Yan asked, "Why, are you planning to follow him out to get the handkerchiefs back?"
"Brother Pei, are you kidding me? Am I that kind of person? How much are a few handkerchiefs..." Halfway through speaking, Yang Shao suddenly widened his eyes, "Oh no, I forgot to pay."
Yang Shao was suddenly surrounded by an awkward atmosphere as he kept replaying the scene of himself running away with the box in his arms. How would the beautiful embroiderer look at him if he did something like this?
A fake rich man pretending to be rich?
Robber?
A runaway dog?
The more he thought about it, the more his face got hot. Yang Shao took out his phone and opened WeChat. The embroiderer hadn't sent him a message yet. He sent several big red envelopes to the other party without hesitation, explaining that he was so excited today because the embroidered handkerchief was so beautiful that he forgot to pay.
Soon the other party replied to the message;
Fanhua: It’s okay, this also shows that you are satisfied with my work. Thank you, and you are welcome to visit me next time.
After replying to this message, Fanhua slowly accepted the red envelope.
Looking at these few short replies, Yang Shao thought that this embroiderer was truly an elegant, intellectual, and money-indifferent woman. In order to embroider a good handkerchief, she not only rushed to Shu Province, but also specially embroidered several styles of finished products.
How could he let such a great embroiderer, who didn't care about money, suffer a loss? In his excitement, he sent five big red envelopes in a row.
This time the other party did not accept it. Instead, he said that the money he paid was more than enough and he didn't need to pay any more.
Yang Shao could not accept such a statement and said firmly that if he did not accept the red envelope, it would mean that he looked down on him and he did not want to do business with him in the future.
When the other party was finally willing to accept the red envelope, Yang Shao put away his phone and said to Pei Yan who was still waiting on the side: "Brother Pei, the embroiderer I met this time is not only young and skilled, but also has impeccable character. I wonder if such a beautiful woman has a boyfriend. If not, then I hehehe..."
Pei Yan put one hand in his pocket and his left eyebrow twitched slightly. A woman like Hua Jin, has impeccable character?
In order to post a photo on WeChat Moments, she took more than ten photos and then spent half an hour editing them. Yang Shao actually said that this narcissistic peacock was impeccable?
"I think you not only have bad taste in clothes, but also bad eyesight." Pei Yan thought of the scene of Yang Shao and Hua Jin standing together, and frowned tightly: "You two are not suitable."
"Ah?" Yang Shao looked at Pei Yan's back as he walked away, thinking that Pei Yan was saying that their identities were not suitable, so he explained, "It's okay, I don't mind."
Pei Yan opened the car door and turned to look at him: "I'm worried that she will dislike you."
"I'm so rich, but she despises me?" Yang Shao touched his chin, "I don't think so."
"Maybe... she will think you are ugly?" Pei Yan threw down this sentence, got into the car without waiting for Yang Shao to react, and closed the door.
Yang Shao: ...
No wonder they say that a cousin is a thousand miles away. This distant cousin's words are really not nice at all. He shamelessly got into Pei Yan's car and said, "Brother Pei, I'll treat you tonight. Let's go."
Pei Yan glanced at him: "What to eat?"
Yang Shao: "Anything is fine."
Hua Jin, who was of high moral integrity and impeccable character, accepted the red envelope sent by Yang Shao, humming a song happily. She turned around and saw Tan Yuan lying on the table in a daze: "Come on, I'll treat you to a luxurious Western meal tonight."
"Has the customer who owed money paid the balance?" Tan Yuan looked up and saw Hua Jin's bright smile. He knew that he had made a lot of money this time. "We don't want to eat Western food. I heard that a very good seafood restaurant opened in the east of the city. Let's go there."
Customers often think that Hua Jin is intellectual, elegant and does not love money. Why don’t these people think carefully about when Hua Jin has ever charged them a penny less?
"You really don't save money for me at all." Hua Jin used her phone to search for the location of the seafood restaurant and picked up her bag. "Let's go, let's go now."
I really hope there will be more customers like this who have few demands and are generous with their money. Even if they dream of promoting traditional craftsmanship, they still need to eat.
When Hua Jin and Tan Yuan arrived at the seafood restaurant, it was peak dining time. They waited in line for nearly an hour before they found a table.
The restaurant is doing a booming business, the environment inside is very good, and the customers talk in low voices, so it doesn't feel too noisy.
When the ordered food was served, Hua Jin and Tan Yuan looked up at each other.
“You take the picture.”
"You should take the pictures first, or I'll steal your pictures later." Hua Jin smiled innocently.
"Can you be a little lazier?" Tan Yuan took out her phone and took a few photos of the delicacies on the table. "You've embroidered a lot of things recently. Take a break for two days, otherwise your neck and waist won't be able to bear it."
"I know. You don't have to worry." Hua Jin broke open the lobster's claws and poured the sauce on the meat. "But you've been watching the store so much lately that you don't even have time for a date. I'll come to the store in the next few days, and you and your boyfriend can have a good time for a few days."
"What's so fun about this?" Tan Yuan lowered his head to eat fish fillets with a light tone.
"What's going on? Did you two have a fight?" Hua Jin was a little surprised. Tan Yuan and her boyfriend had been in a relationship for four or five years. They had been together since college and were even discussing marriage, but why did Tan Yuan's tone sound a bit resentful?
"No." Tan Yuan shook his head, "There's nothing to argue with him."
It's not serious to quarrel about nothing. Seeing that Tan Yuan didn't want to talk about it, Hua Jin had to say, "Don't keep anything in your heart. I am willing to be your mood trash can forever."
"I know that besides my parents, you are the one who loves me the most in this world." Tan Yuan forced a smile and said, "Isn't that right?"
"Yes, yes, you are the one I love most in this world. Otherwise, we would not have been together for five or six years." Hua Jin raised his drink cup, "Come, let's drink a sip for our everlasting love."
After being teased by Hua Jin, Tan Yuan felt much better. She raised her cup and clinked it with Hua Jin.
Coming out of the private room, Yang Shao inadvertently overheard this conversation. For a moment, he didn't know whether to leave or say hello. After the other party put down the cup, he pretended to pass by and said, "Master Hua Xiu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Hello." Hua Jin's eyes passed over Yang Shao and fell on Pei Yan behind him, "Mr. Pei, we meet again."
Pei Yan looked at the pile of lobster shells in front of her, then glanced at her waist. Where did all the meat go? He hummed and said nothing.
"My name is Yang Shao. Master Hua Xiu can just call me Xiao Yang from now on." Yang Shao looked at Hua Jin and Tan Yuan with a strange look and said, "We won't disturb you two from having a meal. We'll leave first."
Walking out of the restaurant, Yang Shao sighed to mourn the budding love that died before it even sprouted.
"Why, are you disappointed because you found that the other party is indeed not interested in your face?" Pei Yan buttoned up his rolled-up shirt sleeves but ignored his loose tie.
"Maybe the flower embroidery master is not dissatisfied with my face." Yang Shao said in a heavy tone, "She is dissatisfied with my gender."
Pei Yan looked at Yang Shao in confusion. He thought there was something wrong with his brain. He opened the car door and said, "Get in."
Yang Shaoan sat quietly in the car for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Pei, you spent some time alone with Master Hua Xiu some time ago, what do you think of her...?"
Pei Yan had a blank expression on his face: "I'm driving, don't talk to me."
Yang Shao held his breath for a while, and couldn't help it again: "How come such a beautiful girl like her has no interest in men?"
The author has something to say: Tan Yuan, Hua Jin: It’s not me, I didn’t do that, don’t talk nonsense!
