Lin Chen, who already had a beautiful wife, immediately noticed Gao Baoliang's surprise.
"You little rascal, you've fallen for Hongluan?"
Gao Baoliang jumped back as if he had stepped on a dog's tail and quickly denied it:
"How could that be? When I went back yesterday, I saw her fall into the water and wanted to save her. Guess what she said?"
She actually said that even if she died, she wouldn't want anyone to save her!
Lin Chen stared in disbelief: "So you really didn't save her?"
"Of course not. As the militia company commander, how could I stand by and watch her die? I used a stick to pull her up."
Gao Baoliang scoffed and said, "I saved her, she casually said thank you, and then ran away."
Seeing his disappointed look, Lin Chen chuckled: "You don't expect her to repay you with her body, do you?"
"No, it's not that... I just feel she's a bit too cold to her savior. I could tell during dinner, she doesn't talk much, she's a real quiet type."
Forget it, how could I possibly be interested in her!
Gao Baoliang scratched his hair, showing a hint of impatience.
Lin Chen chuckled inwardly, thinking, "You'd better not slap me in the face later!"
......
Soon, it was time for Jiang Ning to meet her in the alley behind the movie theater.
Lin Chen ate breakfast and then hurriedly set off.
The county town is more than ten kilometers away from the township, so walking is definitely not an option.
However, he could first go to the village to meet Scarface, and then they could ride bicycles together.
Chayuan Village was one of the poorest villages in the surrounding area, and only a handful of families owned bicycles.
Lin Chen made up his mind that once this deal was completed, he would get all three major items, including a bicycle.
A bicycle, a sewing machine, and a watch together would cost about 500 yuan. It would be cheaper to buy them at the state-run department store in the county, but you would need an industrial ration coupon.
The black market price is much higher. For example, the watch I sold this time could have sold for twenty more if it were sold in the county town.
Because of the limited supply, and because weddings in county towns require a large number of people.
Shortly after Lin Chen left, Jiang Ning was also preparing to set off when Wang Xiufen stopped her.
Since the wedding date has already been set, the clothes and bedding to be prepared for the day need to be prepared in advance.
Wang Xiufen specially hired a cotton fluffer to make two thick cotton quilts and two thin cotton quilts. The quilt covers were made of red brocade with phoenix patterns, which were very festive.
She also designed a dress for her wedding day, also made of red satin. She wanted it to be made in the style of a Tang suit and asked her if that was possible.
"Mom, you can make Tang suits? Of course! I like whatever you make." Jiang Ning was in a hurry to leave, so her answer was a bit perfunctory.
When Wang Xiufen heard that it was okay, she smiled and took out a ruler to measure her size.
Jiang Ning calculated the time and urged, "Mom, I want to go to the educated youth settlement. Hurry up and take my measurements."
Wang Xiufen agreed, took a ruler and measured it on her body, then squinted to see the markings clearly before asking Lin Qiao to write down the measurements in her notebook.
She measured very carefully, her expression focused and meticulous, making Jiang Ning reluctant to urge her any further.
Halfway through the measurement, Aunt Luo came over, smiling as she stared at the three women—the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law—with admiration.
Unlike her husband Yu Meili, who complained that the gift was too much and made a scene at home for several days after Jiang Ning saved Hu Zi.
She really couldn't get along with her daughter-in-law.
Wang Xiufen asked her to sit down first, and couldn't stop praising her daughter-in-law:
“Look at my daughter-in-law, she has such a great figure, big in the right places and small in the right places.”
"With a figure like that, she'd look good even in a burlap sack."
Aunt Luo chimed in, "Yes, you've struck gold! Ningning is beautiful and kind, and only Xiao Chen deserves her."
Hearing this, Wang Xiufen laughed so hard her face crinkled.
Jiang Ning thought to herself, "How can I find a way to get out of here? I really want to search online, it's urgent."
Fortunately, Wang Xiufen did not slow down while speaking and quickly measured the dimensions.
Jiang Ning quickly set off and entered the space from a hidden spot.
She found a car, sped up, and drove towards the county town, arriving at the agreed-upon location before Lin Chen.
After she stopped, she quickly put on makeup and changed clothes, transforming into the image of Boss Biao.
This time, he wore a collared T-shirt, suit pants, an alligator belt with his shirt tucked in, and shiny black leather shoes.
He had also changed his hair to a slicked-back style and was carrying a black briefcase; in short, he looked like a successful person.
Of course, he didn't change his signature cigarette-holding gesture, so that Scarface wouldn't not recognize him.
When the appointed time arrived, she came out with her briefcase tucked under her arm and a bouncy gait.
She glanced at her watch and said lazily, "Not bad, pretty punctual."
But why isn't Lin Chen by Scarface's side?
I took off my sunglasses a little to take a closer look, and realized that my husband had also dressed up. He had smeared black ash on his face, made his skin look sallow, and then put on a full beard. He really looked quite different.
However, even though he makes himself look so ugly, why does my heart pound whenever I see his bulging pectoral muscles?
Just as she was sizing up Lin Chen, Lin Chen was also sizing her up.
This man is so short. If he took off his shoes, he'd probably only be 1.65 meters tall, about the same height as his wife.
And what's with that waist? It's as thin as my wife's, you could wrap your hands around it.
He gathered his thoughts and observed how the two parties would conduct the transaction.
Jiang Ning took out five wooden boxes from her briefcase, each containing ten plum blossom watches.
When the deal was made, Scarface still wanted to bargain, asking if the price could be lowered further.
Jiang Ning closed the box and decisively put it into her bag: "It's sixty yuan, not a penny less. However, if you order a large quantity next time, I can give you a five-yuan discount."
