No matter how rudely you eat, it's good as long as you can put delicious food into your mouth and fill your stomach instead of going hungry.
In a blink of an eye, a week passed and the Saturday I had an appointment with Liu Li was about to arrive.
Because the appointment was at three o'clock in the afternoon, there was no need to rush over after class. They went home to have lunch first, and then Xu Manman pushed Chen Ming to change his clothes.
Although today they are just meeting each other, many people now get married after just a few meetings, which is enough to show how important this meeting is. Therefore, regardless of gender, almost everyone wears their best clothes. On the one hand, it shows their best side to the other party, and on the other hand, it shows how much they value each other.
What Chen Ming changed into today was the white shirt and black trousers that Xu Manman had just made for him. They looked no different from his previous clothes, but Xu Manman had specially changed some of the sizes when making this set of clothes.
The slim-fitting shirt made Chen Ming look broad-shouldered and thin-waisted. The leg size of his trousers was slightly reduced, which did not affect his movements. His two long, straight legs became more prominent. For this outfit, Xu Manman even took Chen Ming to the department store to buy him a belt and leather shoes.
He didn't use hair oil. Yesterday at noon, he asked Jin Zichu to take him to the barber shop to cut a short messy hair and shave his face. Now he is ready and standing in front of Xu Manman. He looks like a refreshing and handsome young man, between maturity and youth. This is definitely the look that his mother-in-law likes most.
Xu Manman clapped her hands, "Good, that's great."
Chen Ming was still a little embarrassed. It seemed that he only had a belt and leather shoes today, but why did he feel so awkward?
Without giving Chen Ming time to hesitate, Xu Manman handed over the net bag and said, "Let's go after you've packed up. It's almost time. We're the men's party, so we can't be late."
When they arrived at Liu Li's house, they were earlier than the agreed time. However, this time, not only the Zhou family was there, but even Aunt Zhou Fen came to join in the fun.
As soon as they saw Chen Ming, the two female elders couldn't stop smiling. "Xiao Ming, this outfit is so nice. He looks so energetic. Everyone wears it like this. How come he looks so inferior?"
Zhou Ming rolled his eyes inwardly after being lightly stepped on. He could not wear the same clothes in such a flashy way.
Chen Ming, who was the focus of the crowd, had a red neck. His face was pale now, and the redness was even more obvious, which made the people present laugh even more.
Fortunately, the time came soon. Zhou Ming took Chen Ming to the door to pick someone up. Xu Manman stayed in the living room of the Zhou family, waiting for someone to come. For some reason, she, as a younger sister, was also extremely nervous at this time.
Finally, there was a noise at the gate. A middle-aged woman and two girls came in. They must have brought both sisters with them.
Because she had seen her in a photo, Xu Manman recognized her sister Zhang Wenjun at a glance. The face frozen in the black and white photo now became vivid and lifelike, appearing in front of Xu Manman.
The photo should have been taken when she was a teenager. She still had long braids and baby fat. Now the long braids are gone. She must have cut her hair short before and is now preparing to grow it long. Her hair is neither too long nor too short and is draped over her shoulders. Her hair is black and thick, and is held up with a headband. Compared to the brightness in the photo, she has a touch of intellectuality and softness.
Although Zhang Wenjun's cheeks were rosy, she greeted everyone with her mother in a graceful and confident manner.
Xu Manman looked over at Chen Ming who came in later. Although he was trying to remain calm, his red ears had betrayed him.
After both parties greeted each other and sat down, Zheng Xiaohui said, "Lili, take Manman and Wenhua upstairs to play for a while first."
Xu Manman obediently followed Liu Li upstairs. At a time like this, it was better for the younger generations not to get involved too much, as everything would be arranged by the experienced elders.
Zhang Wenjun's younger sister Zhang Wenhua is younger than Liu Li and one year older than Xu Manman. She is about the same height as her sister, both about 1.63 meters. She looks mostly like her mother. Compared with Zhang Wenjun's bright and elegant appearance, she is more delicate and pretty like a beautiful girl from a small family.
However, her personality is indeed that of a bold northern girl, which is completely different from her appearance.
Zhang Wenhua looked at Dongdong sleeping on the bed and whispered to Liu Li, "It's only been ten days since we last saw each other, and Dongdong has grown so well."
Liu Li replied in a normal voice, "Children grow up quickly when they are exposed to the wind. It's okay, Wenhua. It's okay if he wakes up now. Don't let him sleep too much during the day, otherwise he will wake up and make trouble at night."
