Xie Dongyang and Wen Xiao's wedding was held a week later.
Ruan Xi and Ling Yao were invited to attend the wedding and sat in the lavishly decorated hall watching Wen Xiao appear. The moment Wen Xiao appeared, lights shone on her and exclamations of "Wow" were instantly heard in the hall.
She walked out from the flowers, her veil trailing on the ground, looking like a fairy in the light.
At this moment, Ruan Xi felt that all the thought and energy she had put into this dress were worth it.
Because Wen Xiao's wedding was quite grand and she was a singer, she naturally made the entertainment section of the newspaper. The dress Wen Xiao wore became the highlight of the wedding.
Of course, ordinary people don’t care where the dress came from or who made it, they just appreciate and admire it.
After making the dress for Wen Xiao, Ruan Xi didn't expect to get another order this year. She didn't even think about where the next order would come from, because after all, not many people would spend money on this kind of clothes in this era.
The reason why she was able to do this order with Wen Xiao was because of her relationship with Xie Dongyang.
But just one week after Wen Xiao's wedding, Wen Xiao suddenly called her again and made an appointment with her. Then, the next afternoon, he brought her a new guest - Su Ye, the mainstay of their troupe!
Ruan Xi entertained Wen Xiao and Su Ye in the office.
After a while of greeting, Ruan Xi asked Su Ye: "Do you want to make a dress?"
Su Ye and Wen Xiao have completely different looks. Wen Xiao looks sweet and cute, while Su Ye is more dignified and elegant. In terms of personality, Su Ye is more picky and particular, and especially likes exquisite and beautiful things.
She said to Ruan Xi, "Yes, I asked Xiaoxiao to bring me here to see you because I saw the dress you made for Xiaoxiao."
Ruan Xi thanked her for her recognition and love, nodded and asked, "What occasion do you want to wear it for?"
When she makes clothes, she considers both the person and the occasion, taking all factors into consideration to design the most suitable clothes for the customers. Clothes are sometimes more than just a piece of clothing. The right clothes can bring people more confidence.
Su Ye answered her: "Party, I will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year."
Ruan Xi was stunned - Spring Festival Gala?
Su Ye saw her in a daze, smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything difficult?"
Ruan Xi said hurriedly, "No, no, I also like exquisite and beautiful things, otherwise I wouldn't be so keen on making clothes. If you decide to let me make you a dress, I will definitely make you the one that suits you best."
Su Ye smiled and said, "I heard from Xiaoxiao that you have some different styles of dresses in your workshop. Can I take a look first?"
Of course it's totally possible. Ruan Xi stood up quickly and said, "Come with me."
Ruan Xi took Wen Xiao and Su Ye to the studio, where Aunt Qin was doing embroidery. After looking at the dress for a while, Su Ye was attracted by Aunt Qin's craftsmanship. She stood beside her and said, "It's embroidered so well."
Aunt Qin looked back at her and said with a smile, "Isn't she beautiful?"
After saying that, he suddenly realized who she was and quickly became excited and asked, "Are you the singer? Your name is Su what?"
Su Ye smiled at her and said, "My name is Su Ye, hello."
Aunt Qin stood up and asked, "Are you here to make clothes too?"
Su Ye nodded, "For performance."
Although Aunt Qin was excited, she didn't chat with Su Ye for long. She just said, "Then take a good look."
Su Ye went to look around again and told Ruan Xi a few styles he liked, but he didn't try them on. After returning to the office and sitting down, he said to Ruan Xi: "I like the ones with large blocks of color. They are more conspicuous on the stage. Can you make them?"
Ruan Xi nodded and said, "Well, I'll draw a few sketches and design plans for you. You can take some time to come and have a look. After the plan is finalized, I'll measure your body and make clothes for you."
Su Ye asked her: "When can you draw it?"
Ruan Xi said: "It can be drawn tomorrow, but it depends on whether you have time."
Su Ye was more anxious than Ruan Xi, "I have time recently, so I will come to see you tomorrow."
Ruan Xi looked at her and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you here tomorrow."
After discussing this, Su Ye and Wen Xiao prepared to leave.
Before they left, Ruan Xi pulled Wen Xiao aside and said, "Thank you for introducing me to the business."
Wen Xiao smiled and said, "I didn't introduce her to you. Your clothes are so stunning and everyone likes them very much. She insisted that I bring her here. I was afraid of disturbing you. After all, you are a big boss."
Ruan Xi laughed, "I'm just a tailor."
Wen Xiao also laughed, "I've never seen a tailor as good as you."
The two of them exchanged a few words, and Wen Xiao and Ruan Xi waved their hands and left with Su Ye.
Ruan Xi and Cheng Nuonuo sent them downstairs together and watched them leave the company gate before returning. After returning, Ruan Xi was not idle either. He went to the studio to look at the styles that Su Ye liked, sat down in front of the easel, picked up a pen and concentrated on his ideas.
The tip of the pen fell, making a rustling sound on the paper.
Ruan Xi started to conceive and put pen to paper, and by the next afternoon before Su Ye came over, he had drawn a total of five sets of design sketches. After Su Ye came over, she continued to entertain Su Ye in the office and showed her the sketch.
Su Ye liked all the sketches and said, "They are all drawn to my liking."
Ruan Xi was naturally happy to hear this. "Please choose one of them, or if you have any other ideas, please tell me and we can modify them now. If you are satisfied, I will start making the blank."
Su Ye did have some opinions to raise, but they were all small details, which slightly integrated the characteristics of the five sets. Ruan Xi listened to her opinions and made revisions for her. As she was revising, she said, "This seems too cumbersome, isn't it?"
After revising it, he said, "This combination doesn't seem right, it's a bit weird."
So in the end, she picked out a set from Ruan Xi's original drawings.
Ruan Xi naturally didn't say much. She just liked what she liked. After she was sure, I took her to have her body measured. After the measurements, I told her, "I'll make a blank for you first. When you try it on, I'll modify it if you find anything wrong."
Su Ye was extremely satisfied and said, "Call me when you're done. I'll come over and try it right away."
Ruan Xi couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I'll contact you when it's done."
Because the dress that Su Ye customized did not have any heavy decorations, the highlights of the dress were the collision of colors and the unique cut and style, so the production time was much shorter than the one Wen Xiao had made before.
After Ruan Xi finished the blank, she notified Su Ye to try it on. When Su Ye tried it on, she improved some small details based on her trial results and added some small decorations to enhance the look.
After obtaining Su Ye's approval, formal production began.
Su Ye was very concerned about her dress and would come to Ruan Xi whenever she had nothing to see the progress of the production and the final result. It wasn't until the dress was finally made and she was completely satisfied with it that she felt at ease.
When getting the dress and preparing to leave, Su Ye said to Ruan Xi, "I'll ask you to make the dresses for the evening parties from now on, okay? Wen Xiao said that you're a big boss and you don't make clothes for others easily. I'm also taking advantage of her."
Thanking Wen Xiao for raising her status, Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Sure, anyone who is recommended by an acquaintance will do it. I run a fashion company after all."
Su Ye asked again: "Then other singers in our circle are also OK?"
Ruan Xi nodded at her, "It's all right."
Su Ye smiled and said, "Okay, I can't help but share my beautiful clothes. If they like to ask me, I will introduce them to you here. By the way, do you have a business card?"
Ruan Xi did get a business card. She went to the desk and took one and handed it to Su Ye: "It has our company's address and my office phone number. You can call or come directly."
Su Ye took the business card and stuffed it into her bag. "Okay, I'll look for you next time if I need anything. If there are other people who really want to come, I'll also greet you in advance and make an appointment with you before letting them come."
Ruan Xi responded: "Okay, thank you for your support."
Su Ye said sincerely, "Thank you for making the dress for me. I really can't find any dress prettier than yours. I used to be troubled every time I went on stage because I didn't have a dress I liked. Now I finally have a dress that I am satisfied with."
Ruan Xi and Su Ye praised and flattered each other for a while, then Ruan Xi smiled and sent her downstairs and out of the company gate. He went back to the office, sat down, picked up the design draft, and hummed a song leisurely.
The sun sets and rises again.
As soon as winter comes, the ice rink is crowded with skaters again.
After they had some free time, Ruan Xi and Ling Yao also came out to play. Now they no longer hug each other and wrestle, but hold hands and move freely on the ice, but they also try to avoid the crowd and play by themselves.
After skating and changing shoes, Ruan Xi and Ling Yao said, "Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, why don't you give us a holiday at your company?"
Ling Yao said: "It will be soon."
Ruan Xi put the skates aside and said, "It's different now than before. There are many people coming here to work, and many people going home for the Spring Festival. It's hard to get on the train, so we have to buy tickets early."
Ling Yao sat up straight and looked at her, "How about staying here to spend the New Year with grandpa and grandma this year?"
In the past two years, he spent the spring in Shenhai with his parents.
Ruan Xi turned to look at him and said, "We usually spend more time with our grandparents, and we don't go back to see your parents very often. If we don't go back during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid they will be lonely."
Ling Yao felt warm inside after hearing this, his eyes and tone softened, "Okay, then let's go to my house for the New Year."
The two of them were talking as they picked up their skates and headed home. When they drove into the alley and were almost home, they suddenly saw two people standing next to the stone lions outside the gate of the courtyard. Their figures and temperaments were very familiar.
Ling Yao was slightly stunned and said, "It seems to be my parents."
Hearing this, Ruan Xi also took a closer look and said, "It seems a bit similar."
It was a little far away so I couldn't be sure, but when I drove up to them, I could naturally see that it was Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun. The two people were wrapped up tightly, with only half of their faces showing. I don't know how long they had been standing outside the door waiting.
Ling Yao parked the car and got out, "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun watched Ruan Xi get off the car, pulled down their scarves, smiled and waved at Ruan Xi, and replied to Ling Yao: "To save you from the trouble, we came here to spend the New Year with you this year, and just happened to have some fun in Beijing."
Ruan Xi walked up to the two of them and said with a smile: "Then I'll take you out to have some fun."
When they opened the door and walked into the yard, Ling Yao said again: "Why didn't you call before coming? It just so happens that we are free today, so we can pick you up at the train station, and you don't have to stand outside the door and wait for so long."
Ling Yao and Ruan Xi have been married for three years. Now Ling Yao's personalities have become very cheerful and he is no longer as dull as before. Compared to the years before I met Ruan Xi, it seems like I’ve become a completely different person.
After no longer worrying about Ling Yao, Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun now live a very relaxed life. They followed Ling Yao and Ruan Xi into the yard and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise, what's the point of telling you?"
Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing and felt quite happy.
Then this year I can celebrate the New Year with my family on both sides.
She and Ling Yao brought Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun into the house, poured them some hot water, and let them sit down to watch TV and rest. Then she and Ling Yao went to tidy up the west wing, helped them put away their luggage, and made the beds for them.
Because there were not enough dishes at home for four people, Ruan Xi and Ling Yao took Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun out to a restaurant for dinner. While eating, we just chat and talk about what happened in the past year.
After dinner, Ruan Xi came back to wash up and go to bed. Lying on the bed, she said, "It's great that we can celebrate the New Year together this year."
Ling Yao looked at her and smiled, "When my parents retire, I'll ask them to come here to live out their retirement years. Then we can spend every New Year together and we don't have to worry about where to go for the New Year."
Ruan Xi also smiled, "If they are willing to come, that would be great."
Ling Yao hadn't had his holiday yet, so he got up the next day and went back to work. Ruan Xi's entire company and factory were on holiday, so she drove Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun to play in the city for two days and bought some New Year's goods.
Ruan Xi also made an agreement with Ruan Cuizhi and the others to come to her yard to celebrate the New Year this year.
Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan are in the south due to some matters and have not returned yet.
The two were busy until the day before New Year's Eve before returning to Beijing.
On New Year's Eve, both Ruan Changsheng and Ruan Cuizhi got up early, put up Spring Festival couplets at home, cleaned up the house inside and out, then took the New Year's goods and food they had bought, and went to Ruan Xi to celebrate the New Year together.
It becomes lively when there are many people together, and the yard is noisy all day long.
While preparing the New Year's Eve dinner together in the afternoon, Ruan Xi asked Ruan Cuizhi: "Did Liu Xiaohu and his wife not want to stay?"
When this was mentioned, Ruan Cuizhi said calmly, "Why didn't they want to stay? They wanted to stay at home. I asked your uncle to buy tickets for them and sent them back. How could they stay here for the New Year? Wouldn't that be annoying?"
Liu Xinghua replied: "Come back next year and the door won't be opened for you."
As they were talking, a table full of New Year's Eve dinner was prepared and neatly arranged on the table. The family sat down next to each other at the table in a lively atmosphere. It was almost time for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.
So everyone watched the show, chatted, and ate. After drinking some wine to liven up the atmosphere, Ruan Changsheng suddenly remembered something and stood up and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. I want to show you a big treasure!"
As soon as he said this, everyone at the table looked at him curiously.
Ruan Yue asked what everyone was thinking: "Fifth Uncle, what is this great treasure?"
Ruan Dabao said immediately: "I know, I know, it's big..."
Before he could finish his words, Ruan Changsheng covered his mouth with his hand and forced him to swallow the rest of his words.
After Ruan Dabao was subdued, Ruan Changsheng took Qian Chuan's bag like he was showing off his treasure, and said mysteriously, "You have never seen this thing, no... you have never heard of it, it's amazing..."
Ruan Zhigao was anxious and shouted at him: "Take it out quickly!"
So Ruan Changsheng reached into Qian Chuan's bag and took out a black phone, which was as heavy as a brick in his hand. After he found it, he showed it off to everyone and said proudly, "Big Brother!"
Others were curious and asked him, "What is a mobile phone?"
Ruan Changsheng demonstrated on the spot and dialed Ruan Xi's home phone number. After a moment, the phone rang.
When the landline rang, Ruan Changsheng said again: "See, there is no telephone line, so you can carry it with you wherever you go, and you can make calls anytime and anywhere, and you won't miss a call... Of course..."
He paused and said, "If the signal is good..."
puff……
Everyone laughed together, and Ruan Dabao laughed the loudest.
Then, when everyone was laughing happily, Ruan Cuizhi suddenly looked at the TV and said, "Here it comes, Su Ye's show is on, look, the clothes made by Xiaoxi herself..."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the TV with smiles on their faces.
On TV, the camera moved and Su Ye stood on the stage, wearing a dress tailored for her by Ruan Xi. She looked exceptionally elegant and eye-catching.
