My cousin finally met his true love after waiting for so many years, he's not going to let anyone ruin it.
However, Ai Dang will be coming over tonight, so we need to ask him carefully and make sure Ye Chen'er doesn't suffer any losses. Ye Chen'er's personality and temperament are too good, so good that Yan Xiaonan feels a little sorry for her.
Hu Lisha was taken aback by Yan Xiaonan's sudden attack and felt a little timid, but she couldn't bring herself to back down. So she could only shout at the two of them, "Wait here, I'll go get my sister."
Yan Xiaonan scoffed. Calling your sister or your grandma won't help. Both families' parents have already agreed on the wedding date. What business is it of yours?
The sales clerk carefully wrote out the receipt, tied the fabric and receipt together with a rope, and handed it to Ye Chen'er. The other girl was really pretty, but she was so fierce. But she was really fierce. That Hu guy was a real scoundrel. From what she said, it sounded like she wanted to steal someone else's boyfriend.
This incident ruined their mood for shopping, so they took the bus home. When Cuihua saw them return with bags full of things, she quickly brought out water and snacks: "Are you hungry? Go wash your hands and have something to eat. Let me see if you bought any fabric. What kind of clothes do you want to make?"
Ye Chen'er hugged Cuihua with emotion: "Auntie, how can you be so kind? I am so lucky to have met you. It is definitely a great blessing from God."
Cuihua was completely bewildered by Ye Chen'er's antics and could only look at Yan Xiaonan, asking with her eyes what was going on. Just then, Yan Aidang walked in, and Yan Xiaonan pointed at him, saying, "Mom, he bullied Chen'er."
Yan Aidang was startled: "Nannan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I just arrived, why are you bullying Chen'er?"
"Who is Hu Lisha? And who is Hu Lijing?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
Yan Aidang understood immediately and ran over to pull Ye Chen'er aside: "Chen'er, the Hu family has two sisters and two brothers. Their father is my father's subordinate. Hu Lijing is the eldest in the family. She once confessed her feelings to me, but I rejected her."
Ye Chen'er nodded. She absolutely believed in Yan Ai's party. If Yan Ai's party had any feelings for that Hu Lijing, she wouldn't be in the running, and Hu Lisha wouldn't be so furious.
Cuihua, who was standing nearby, understood what was going on. It turned out that the two girls had been mistreated today.
"Don't be angry, girl. No one likes a woman like that. You can tell just by her name. Why is she called a vixen? I don't know what this family was thinking, giving their daughter such a name. Come and eat something so you won't be angry anymore. Ai Dang, Chen'er, come and eat with us."
Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er nodded, "The name is really not good."
Yan Aidang nodded in agreement, "Why call her Hu Lijing? Let's just call her 'Vixen'."
Grandma Yan sat on the large bamboo chair beside her. She was happy to see Yan Xiaonan return. She picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, "My dear, tell Grandma, did you use your hands or your feet today?"
Yan Xiaonan was embarrassed. Ye Chen'er was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "Grandma, you really are a prophet! Nannan has moved her foot."
Yan Aidang laughed too: "Grandma, how did you know?"
"My baby was born in the twelfth lunar month, so it's only natural that his hands and feet are freezing." Grandma Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe her nose; it was a reminder of her old tobacco pipe.
Yan Aidang took out a box from behind his back and handed it to Grandma Yan: "Grandma, you're absolutely right. Children born in the twelfth lunar month are bound to have cold hands and feet. Here, this is a reward for you. Congratulations on getting it right."
"This is a reward for me. What is it? Let me see." Grandma Yan opened the box.
"Oh my good grandson, how did you know your grandma wanted this? Goodness, there's such good tobacco here."
Grandma Yan couldn't wait to pick up her pipe and start filling it with water and tobacco. She asked Cuihua to bring her a match, lit the tobacco, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. Oh, how comfortable! It's better than being a god.
Yan Xiaonan shook Grandma Yan's hand and said, "Grandma, you have to promise me you won't smoke too much of this. It contains nicotine, which is bad for your health."
Grandma Yan nodded: "I'll listen to you, I'll smoke two less puffs a day."
Cuihua laughed. Her grandmother and granddaughter always had trouble with this, and her clever and quick-witted daughter always managed to confuse her mother.
Yan Xiaoqiang rode his bicycle in: "Aidang's here. Let me ask you, is that alley behind us also a courtyard house?"
Yan Aidang nodded: "There are several courtyard houses in the back alley, some with two courtyards and some with three. They are expensive, and you need to know someone to buy one."
"Oh, I see. I saw someone renovating inside today. I guess someone bought it." Yan Xiaoqiang understood.
“My dad and I originally had our eye on a two-courtyard house over there, which was 2,000 yuan more expensive than this one, but someone had already bought it. We don’t even know who bought it. Later, the three-courtyard house next door was also bought. I heard it was bought by the same person. That’s quite a move,” Yan Aidang explained.
Grandma Yan sighed and said, "Buying two sets together, how much money would that cost? Who has that much money? Look, our whole family is already living in one-courtyard houses, a two-courtyard house is too big, and a three-courtyard house would require a lot of people to live in."
Yan Xiaoqiang and Yan Aidang both nodded. Who could disagree? In this era where ten or twenty yuan could last a month, several thousand yuan was a huge sum of money. How capable must someone be to have such a fortune?
Yan Xiaonan felt it was a pity that she was still too out of touch with the world. Now, a one-courtyard house only costs two thousand yuan, and a two-courtyard house only costs four or five thousand yuan. But what about after twenty or thirty years? That's a matter of adding three or four zeros to the price. Especially three-courtyard houses, they are simply impossible to buy.
But what's the use of regretting it now? The house has already been sold. Fortunately, there are quite a few courtyard houses in Beijing. We can buy one when the opportunity arises. If all else fails, buying a few apartments is also a good option, but we need to make money first.
I'll focus on my studies this year, and next year I can check out the clothing market. It seems like jeans and leather jackets are going to be popular soon. Maybe I should check which clothing factories can take orders, and also look at fabrics and such. I don't know much about these things, so I'll need to find someone to work with.
Cuihua and Chen'er had already discussed what to make with the red fabric. Yan Xiaonan remembered that in her previous life, brides-to-be would prepare several outfits for their weddings, among which a traditional Chinese dress was a must. Making a dress now would be too extravagant, so why not make a simple Tang suit instead?
After listening to Yan Xiaonan's description, Cuihua had a plan in mind. She drew on the paper with a pencil, telling him that the collar should stand up, the buttons should be frog clasps, the pockets should be slip pockets, and they should be hidden so that no one could see them.
