Chapter 300
Ji Wanmei smiled.
She smiled brightly and charmingly, raising her hand to hook Lei Tingjun's hand that was groping around her slender neck.
She hooked her little finger around his and said with a smile, "I made you a suit."
Lei Tingjun was taken aback: "A suit?"
"Hmm." Ji Wanmei looked him up and down.
He came to pick her up today, and he seemed to have rushed over directly from the construction site. His clothes were dusty, his pants were covered in mud, and his shoes were even dirtier.
Ji Wanmei then used both hands to straighten his collar and said softly, "You are no longer the captain of a small transportation team. Everyone calls you Boss Lei now. You can be very casual when you are working with the workers on the construction site, but when you go out to talk business with other big bosses, you still need to have a decent set of clothes."
"I know you're not used to wearing those formal suits and find them restrictive. So I made you one myself using the most comfortable fabric. Try it on when we get back."
Lei Tingjun's Adam's apple bobbed. He lifted Ji Wanmei's hand and brought her fingers close to his eyes to examine them closely.
As if trying to see the marks on her fingertips where she had started to tailor the clothes for him.
Ji Wanmei was rushing to finish her work last night, and she did indeed get several needle marks on her index finger.
Although it wasn't very obvious, Lei Tingjun still noticed it.
Her fingers were already slender as scallions, and her skin was white and delicate, like white porcelain.
Although the needle marks looked small, they turned into glaring blood spots after they congealed, making them particularly noticeable on her fair fingers.
Lei Tingjun was immediately heartbroken.
He kissed Ji Wanmei's fingertips repeatedly.
It was as if he wanted to soothe the wounds on her delicate fingertips with his gentle kiss.
Ji Wanmei felt ticklish from his kisses and giggled, trying to pull her hand back: "It's okay."
Lei Tingjun, however, refused to let go.
"It's nothing. I learned Shu embroidery from Grandma Song at Shu Embroidery Hall. At first, I often pricked my fingers because I wasn't used to the needlework. This is something you have to go through when learning a craft. I'm fine with it myself, so why are you, a grown man, making such a fuss?"
Lei Tingjun looked up at her and said, "That's different. When you get a little hurt while learning a craft, it means that my Meimei is working hard. But if you get pricked with needles while making clothes for me, it means that I didn't do a good job."
"What, is it that you did something wrong again?" Ji Wanmei looked at his serious expression.
Lei Tingjun was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "It was wrong of me to make you get hurt for me."
After he finished speaking, he went around to get his car.
When the pickup truck stopped at a pharmacy, Lei Tingjun jumped out and said, "Wait for me here for a bit."
Ji Wanmei knew what he was going to do, and the feeling of him holding her in his hands and cherishing her made her heart swell with joy.
It's like being bathed in a hot spring, being loved with such certainty and care.
For some reason, she felt a little like crying.
This was something she had never imagined since her rebirth.
But Ji Wanmei tilted her head back and held back.
Lei Tingjun moved quickly, and a few minutes later, he strode out of the small pharmacy on the street.
He was carrying a white, transparent bag, which was immediately filled with medicine.
Back in the car, he first took out the medicine from the bag, one of which was a box of band-aids. He carefully tore it open and applied it to Ji Wanmei's finger.
He actually had no skill in these delicate tasks, and the band-aid he applied was crooked and messy, making Ji Wanmei's beautiful hands look extremely out of place.
After Lei Tingjun finished bandaging the wound, he examined it carefully for a long time before looking up and saying, "I asked the pharmacy owner, and he said that for people who often do manual labor and get pricked by needles, this patch heals the fastest."
"Didn't you say you often get pricked by needles at Shuxiutang? I bought you two extra boxes, remember to take them back. Be careful, don't keep hurting yourself. Got it?"
"Okay, I know," Ji Wanmei smiled as he bandaged her up.
In fact, at Shuxiutang, Grandma Song and the master craftsmen are all professionals. Every time they do hand embroidery, they prepare a full range of tools for everyone.
They have thimbles and hand cream.
Ji Wanmei noticed that none of the experienced craftsmen or Grandma Song used it.
After asking around, I learned that wearing a thimble and protective gear would reduce the feel and control during embroidery, so Ji Wanmei, who was just starting out, also stopped using them.
That's why she often got pricked in the hands at the beginning.
However, you get used to it after a while, and you can usually avoid it later.
Last night, I was rushing to finish the clothes and bring them to you today, so I accidentally got pricked a few times.
It wasn't as serious as Lei Tingjun thought.
However, seeing how anxious and caring he was for her, Ji Wanmei felt a sweet warmth in her heart and let him have his way.
They lingered by the roadside for a while before returning to the construction site from the station.
Upon arriving at the construction site, Ji Wanmei discovered that Lei Tingjun and his team had moved their base from the original transportation team location to the West City development project site.
Seeing her looking around, Lei Tingjun explained, "Now, all the people under my command have been transferred here. I've assigned a few experienced ones from the old convoy to lead their own teams. The transportation of materials and bricks has all been handed over to A-Qiang. So I simply moved the workshop here to avoid having to run back and forth and wasting time."
Ji Wanmei looked at the construction site across the street, which had doubled in size.
Several large construction excavators were constantly working on the foundation, and the noise was quite loud.
Ji Wanmei knew that Lei Tingjun had hired more workers to speed things up, and they were working in two shifts.
