After washing her face, Han Li put on some light makeup in front of the mirror and applied bright lipstick, but it felt too bright, so she wiped it off with a tissue, casually tidied her slightly curly long hair, opened the door and went downstairs. Grandpa Zhou and Zhou's mother and father were sitting at the dining table eating.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom."
Zhou's mother handed her a steamed bun and said, "Eat it quickly! After you finish eating, we'll go shopping."
"Okay." Han Li picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. Father Zhou asked,
"Zhichuan hasn't woken up yet?"
Han Li was about to reply when Zhou's mother advised, "He's so busy all day long that he can hardly see anyone. He finally has a day off and can sleep a little longer. Just leave him alone."
After dinner, Zhou's mother asked the family driver to take her and Han Li to the mall. Zhou's mother excitedly took Han Li's hand and rushed in, stopping in front of the counter selling fabrics.
"Lili, I want to pick out some fabrics to make a quilt cover for your wedding. Do you like any of them?"
The cloths in front of the counter are all specially used for making quilt covers, in bright red and green, with bright large flowers, bright red wedding characters, and quilt covers with auspicious dragons, phoenixes, and mandarin ducks.
Zhou's mother liked the quilt with the fiery red flowers and could not help caressing it.
"This red color looks festive and will definitely look great as a quilt."
Han Li turned around and asked her, "Mom, how many quilts do you want to make?"
"Bed eight!"
"So many?" Han Li opened her eyes wide in surprise. Zhou's mother smiled.
"These wedding quilts must be eight, two red, two pink, two golden, and two green. We need to make two sets each for spring and summer, and four sets for autumn and winter."
Han Li and her mother-in-law spent a long time choosing, picking one quilt cover of each pattern, filling a whole bag, and also picked two pairs of pillowcases and towels. Zhou's mother asked the driver to put the things in the car, and the two continued shopping.
Mother Zhou stopped in front of the counter selling daily necessities. "Lili, which of those red washbasins do you like? There's one with mandarin ducks and one with the Chinese character for happiness. Which one looks better?"
Han Li compared them and said, "The one with the Chinese character for 'happiness'. I like the rose on it."
"Okay! I want two, one for washing feet and one for washing face." Zhou's mother pointed to the washbasin and said to the cashier:
"Bring me two washbasins, two soaps, two combs, and a round glass mirror."
Mother Zhou turned to Han Li and asked, "There are many beautiful patterns on the back of this mirror. Choose one you like."
Han Li picked and chose, and finally chose two mirrors with the Chinese character for "happiness" on the back.
"This one! A big red wedding character, so festive."
"Okay!" Zhou's mother paid the money, handed the things to the driver, and asked the driver to make another trip to put them back in the car.
Zhou's mother took her to a furniture store and said, "Lili, look at how nice this sewing machine is. I'll buy you one."
When Han Li asked the price, she was told it was one hundred and eighty. She frowned.
“So expensive!”
Mother Zhou comforted her, "Lili, although this sewing machine is expensive, it is very practical and can be used for many years to come. When you have children in the future, sewing and mending will be indispensable."
Han Li lowered her head in embarrassment. Zhou Zhichuan didn't love her at all. How could they have a child? She didn't even know how to use the sewing machine.
"Mom, we don't want this sewing machine anymore."
"No!" Zhou's mother said firmly, "You don't need the other things, but this sewing machine will be very useful in the future. It's indispensable for the family. You are still young and don't understand."
Zhou's mother bought a sewing machine and said, "Lili, you have to choose between this radio and bicycle."
Han Li thought of the TV and radio in Zhou Zhichuan's building, and the bicycle at home. "Mom, we have all these things at home."
Zhou's mother took her to the bicycle counter.
"Then I'll buy you a women's bicycle. The bicycle at home has a handlebar, which is for Zhichuan to ride."
Han Li carefully selected one, test-drove it, and was very satisfied. Mother Zhou waved her hand and said, "Buy it!"
The driver asked someone to take the bicycle and sewing machine back home because there were too many things in the car and they couldn't fit them all.
Mother Zhou took her hand and walked forward, "Lili, I'm going to buy you two new sets of clothes. Go and have a look. Do you like anything?"
Han Li had already spent too much money on Zhou's mother, and she felt embarrassed to ask her to spend more money on her.
"I have clothes to wear, they're all good, Mom, don't spend any more money."
Mother Zhou smiled and patted her hands. "Silly child, you are going to marry Zhichuan, and our Zhou family should buy you new clothes and shoes. Logically, we should buy you three big pieces, but you don't want them, so I will buy you a few more sets of clothes."
Zhou's mother dragged her daughter-in-law to the clothing counter and she liked a red suit jacket with a red long skirt.
"Lili, you're tall, and that red suit jacket will definitely look great on your wedding."
Zhou's mother pointed at the red suit and asked the teller to take it down. Zhou's mother enthusiastically asked Han Li to try it on. Han Li smiled, took off her old clothes and put on a red suit jacket, which was bold and bright.
Everyone around turned to look at her, and many women came over, wanting to try it too. Mother Zhou smiled from ear to ear.
"I want this one! My daughter-in-law looks great in it!"
Han Li also likes this suit very much. She has a big frame and suits suit her well.
Zhou's mother asked the teller to pack the clothes, "Lili, pick out a black suit for Zhichuan."
"good."
Han Li selected carefully. Zhou Zhichuan was 1.85 meters tall, with fair skin and a gentle appearance. He looked best in a black suit. Han Li liked to see him in a suit. His fingers were slender and well-defined, and he wore a metal watch on his wrist. He had the feeling of a gentleman, both lustful and sexy, which made her want to pounce on him.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law jointly selected a custom-made black suit and carried it to the next stop. "Let's buy some shoes. I'll pick out a pair of black leather shoes for you and Zhichuan, and a pair of red high heels for you to wear on your wedding day."
