Chapter 371 Picking Up the Children
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment: "Chen Dongshuang seduced Lu Donglin?"
No, these four people live in the same courtyard, and there are still so many things she doesn't know? She looked at Lu Donglin and he didn't look like someone she liked. It was obvious that he hadn't figured it out. And Chen Dongshuang, this girl was always busy, either entertaining guests, working, or studying.
Lu Chun'e asked her: "Sister-in-law, do you want to talk to your brother about this and ask him to ask Lu Donglin?"
"Why are you asking that? What's there to ask? It was nothing originally, but now it's like there's something serious. How can we get along normally in the future? I'll talk to Huang Qiuju later, and we'll put this matter in the past. Really, even if you can't stand each other, you can't say anything nonsense. Forget about Lu Donglin, but Chen Dongshuang is a girl who should do her job properly. You can't ruin someone's reputation."
After saying that, he was about to go into the house when his brows suddenly furrowed. "I have to have a good talk with Lu Donglin too. What's going on with him? Your brother can't be in the store all the time. He's the only one who has the final say. He can't even control two people. What will happen if the business grows bigger and has more people? This is simply outrageous. The boss can spread rumors so blatantly. Are there any rules at all?"
Then he went into the house and started to get busy.
She is about to go for an internship and will basically not come here during this period. She has to finish all the upcoming orders these days, so she is quite busy.
Chen Dongshuang went upstairs, closed the door and cried. After crying and venting her emotions, she calmed down.
She shouldn't have quarreled with Huang Qiuju. She was different from Huang Qiuju and Sun Xiaoxue. She had no home and nowhere to go. She could only work and study hard, hoping that she could have a home of her own in the future through her own efforts.
But after thinking about it, it seemed there was nothing to regret. The words Huang Qiuju said were intolerable to anyone, and if she didn't say anything, she'd think she was afraid of her. These past few days, she'd been like she'd taken some awful medicine, constantly attacking her with sarcasm. She'd tolerated it all, but today, she couldn't take it anymore.
What do you mean she is shameless and is always thinking about hooking up with people, licking people's faces and begging for favors like a dog?
She spoke normally to Lu Donglin and Wen Wan. Since they were familiar with each other and were older than her, she felt it was strange to call them by their full names or even "boss," just like calling the neighbors at home. How could calling them "brother or sister" be considered seduction or fawning?
All day long, unless there was something important, she never got close to anyone else, and she never deliberately tried to attract anyone's attention or said a word of nonsense.
Walk upright and sit upright.
It's just that when they were arguing, Lu Donglin's sister happened to hear it. She didn't know what she would think, whether she would think that she was unruly and not diligent at work, and would have something against her.
After staying upstairs for a long time, she finally came to her senses, washed her face and went downstairs.
Wen Wan has already started to get busy.
The store is equipped with the highest-wattage lights on the market, and it is as bright as daytime.
It wasn't completely dark outside yet, but the lights in the house were already on.
It was getting cooler, and more people were coming out for a walk. A few people came into the store to look at clothes. Lu Chun'e was introducing them, while Wen Wan was busy with her own things next door.
Chen Dongshuang tried hard to forget the previous unpleasantness and help Lu Chun'e.
Several people came in, all taking advantage of the cool weather to wander around. Seeing the lights on and the door open, they came in to take a look. However, Chen Dongshuang still sold a shirt at a relatively reasonable price.
After making a deal, my mood suddenly improved.
By the time Huang Qiuju and Sun Xiaoxue came back, she had completely recovered.
Her sister Wen Wan was right. She didn't eat Huang Qiuju's rice. They were all here to work, so they had nothing to do with each other. If they didn't agree, why bother to care about it?
How she wants to get along with others is her own business. Why should others interfere?
Wen Wan waited until Lu Dongping and Lu Donglin finished their get out of class and went to the store to get the account books before she stopped, stretched her body, and called Lu Chun'e, "Let's go, let's go back."
They came back late, and Huang Qiuju and the others, who had closed the shop early, had already gone to bed.
Lu Donglin stood in the yard and looked up at the second floor. The light in Chen Dongshuang's room was still dimly on, probably because she was reading a book.
This girl was really hardworking, just like his sister. He also had to admit that Chen Dongshuang seemed to be a little smarter than his sister Lu Chun'e in terms of studying, and was a good student.
Thinking of what Huang Qiuju said in the afternoon, he couldn't help but frown, sighed, and turned back to the house.
Wen Wan had agreed with Lu Chun'e to get up early and return to the compound while it was still cool. However, since Comrade Lu Dongping had been frightened by yesterday's incident, Wen Wan stayed awake to appease him.
When I woke up, the sun was climbing in through the window.
She struggled to get up. It was so quiet outside that she thought no one was around, but unexpectedly, Lu Chun'e was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, knitting a sweater very seriously. Just by the color, it was obvious it was for Zhou Mingli.
When Wen Wan came out, she stopped what she was doing and said, "Get up. Breakfast is warm in the pot. I'll get it for you." As she said that, she put on her shoes and walked outside.
She got up early in the morning and cooked millet porridge, mixed cucumbers, and boiled eggs.
It's just right now, neither too hot nor too cold.
After Wen Wan finished washing up, she sat down at the table and started eating.
He picked up the chopsticks and looked at Chun'e who sat back on the sofa and sighed: "Chun'e, you've spoiled me after staying here for a few days. I won't be used to it when you leave." What a good girl, Zhou Mingli is really lucky.
Lu Chun'e smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated, is it? Sister-in-law, even if you are spoiled, it's my brother's fault. It has nothing to do with me."
Wen Wan had originally sighed casually, but after she interrupted, she felt too embarrassed to speak again. The rice in the bowl was warm, but she was still eating until her nose was sweating.
"It's so sunny outside, do we still need to go back to the compound?"
Wen Wan said, "Go back and bring the little guy over to stay for a few days. I promised you last time, and I can't go back on my word."
After finishing their meal, they packed up and went out.
The sun was scorching outside, and the cicadas were hiding under the leaves and calling hysterically, as if they were competing, it was so noisy that it was unbearable.
Wen Wan didn't want to move as soon as she returned to the compound. She lingered until the evening. Dandan urged her several times before she packed up the little boy's clothes and went back to Tonghua Lane with Lu Chun'e.
Dandan wanted to go to Tonghua Lane so badly for one reason: to hang out with Li Laiyu. Why else would he go? Was the compound not spacious enough, or weren't there enough children? And he couldn't sleep in; he'd be woken up early no matter where he went.
As soon as he got off the car, he almost couldn't wait to run to Ai Shang, and asked Wen Wan as he ran: "Mom, where is my aunt?"
Wen Wan teased him: "Guess?"
Dandan hated this kind of guessing the most and pulled her along: "Then let's hurry up and go check at home first. If it's not there, then we can go inside the store."
Wen Wan pinched his little hand and said, "Little friend Lu Hongkang, I want to ask, is Auntie Lai Yu your favorite thing now?"
Dandan didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, so he slowed down his pace and turned to look at her in confusion.
Lu Chun'e also asked him: "Dandan, who do you like best, your mother or your aunt?"
“I like them all!”
Lu Chun'e continued to tease him seriously: "No, you can only like one."
Dandan was speechless. He was just a child. Why should a child be made to answer such difficult multiple-choice questions?
Li Laiyu is in Aichang.
After the wedding dress deal fell through, she and Wen Wan had been discussing the idea of making dresses. After all, conditions were getting better and better, and it was no longer the era when a Lenin suit could make people happy.
During this period, the two of them spent their free time reading books and drawing line drafts.
The books that Lu Dongping brought back from Guangzhou and those that Li Laiyu brought back from Shenzhen were read over and over again by them, and the paper was worn soft.
Whether it is purely Western or Chinese, or a combination of Chinese and Western styles, they all want to create their own things instead of just imitating others.
It just so happened that Wang Mengfang was also very interested in these things, so she accompanied Li Laiyu, helping her and occasionally discussing them.
Li Laiyu told her, "Shenzhen has become very Westernized. They wear suits and ties for important occasions. You hardly see Chinese cheongsams at formal banquets for ladies. Western-style dresses are the norm. Weddings are even more so. They don't like bright red there; wedding dresses are mostly white."
This is a subversion of tradition.
After all, since ancient times, red has represented joy and white has represented mourning.
The situation may be better in big cities now, but in more remote areas this concept is deeply rooted.
In the capital, cheongsams might be okay, but those who are getting married seriously may not be able to accept the idea of wearing white from head to toe for the time being.
However, they have no plans to make wedding dresses. As for formal dresses, there is still a lot of room for development in terms of color.
She took out the line drawings drawn by Wen Wan and showed them to Wang Mengfang: "These are drawn by Wan Wan. I think both of them are pretty good, but they need to be slightly refined in the details."
As she was speaking, Dandan's childish voice rang out from outside: "Auntie, your little baby is here!"
Li Laiyu was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up. Wang Mengfang laughed out loud, stood up and walked out: "Oh, let me see, whose little baby is this!"
In the hot summer, Dandan was a little chubby, so Wen Shihua shaved his head. There was only a patch of hair on the top of his round head.
For fear of affecting the appearance, he strongly asked Wen Wan to put on a sun hat for him when he came over.
She was wearing a pair of navy blue overalls and a sailor shirt, she was so cute.
Wang Mengfang's heart melted when she saw how adorable he was. She reached out and picked him up: "Oh, little darling, we haven't seen each other for a while."
Dandan called out "Auntie" sweetly, then twisted her butt and was about to get off the ground: "I'm heavy, it's too heavy for you to hold me, please put me down." It's so hot, don't be so enthusiastic.
