Chapter 196: Buying daily necessities for Weng Nuan at the welcoming banquet...
Chapter 196
Lin Mujin went to the underground shopping mall and first bought a four-piece bed set. She asked for a blue and white plaid set, which was very attractive.
I went to tear off a piece of brown coarse cloth to make curtains. After all, it was on the first floor and it would be easy to show anything without curtains.
Buy a short-sleeved shirt and a half-sleeved maxi skirt.
Considering that Weng Nuan came from the inland and has a relatively conservative mindset, I didn't buy anything too trendy. The short-sleeved shirt is just a basic white style, but the style looks good, so it should look good when worn.
The half-sleeved long skirt is turquoise, which looks refreshing and elegant but not transparent. The length reaches the calf and is not revealing at all.
I also bought him a sports vest, two pairs of pure cotton briefs and four pairs of white cotton socks.
I didn't buy any other clothes.
You won’t need long sleeves for the time being. When autumn comes and Weng Nuan is familiar with them, you can buy them yourself.
Although her taste is not bad, it doesn't mean that Weng Nuan will definitely like it.
I then bought two basins and a towel, as well as a toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, a hairband, a mirror, soap, perfumed soap, shampoo, a large bottle of lotion, and a lock.
Lin Mujin thought about it and bought another pair of slippers.
After delivering these things back to the rented tenement building, she looked at the time. It was already past four o'clock. She simply decided not to go to Jinshi. Cousin Lin and the others should be back around five o'clock at the latest.
She couldn't stay there for long and stopped making trouble.
She is putting together furniture at home.
That's right, she wanted to put together a desk, but she already had a chair.
She couldn't bear to part with the Huanghuali wood, so she chose one that was probably (not sure) redwood.
Because the desk panel is large and flat, it is easy to identify even if it is disassembled.
She couldn't move the whole thing, so she could only cut the straw ropes and move them one by one into the living room.
Wipe it with a rag first.
"This big board must be the desktop, at the top. These small ones, put together, are drawers. These ones, put together, are also small drawers..."
Lin Mujin was mumbling something to herself, but her hands were moving quickly and she was very happy doing it, a bit like she was playing with Lego.
Clap your hands, "Done!"
She had basically decided which wooden board should go where, and the next step was to put it together.
Put the small drawers together first.
"It's not that difficult."
Not wanting to be slapped in the face soon, she didn't have the energy to install the carved baffle on the front of the desk.
"Forget it, forget it, let's wait for brother to come back." Lin Mujin gave up, her hands hurting.
She went to cook.
She had already taken out the beef, ribs, pork belly, sea cucumber and abalone from the refrigerator to thaw them, and also soaked the morels.
Tonight is a welcome party for Weng Nuan and a chance to introduce her to her family, so the dishes should be richer.
There were not many people at noon and the time was a bit tight.
Lin Mujin went into the kitchen and first cooked the seafood mushroom soup.
Use the pork belly to make the meat buns, and then boil four eggs and put them in it.
The beef is ribs, so put it in a pressure cooker, otherwise it may not be tender.
"Sister, I'm back. Miss Weng is back too. She's back to her own room." Cousin Lin is back.
Lin Mujin turned her head and looked, "Brother is back, have you finished the measurements?"
Cousin Lin nodded and said, "Miss Weng wrote me a note saying that the measurements were completed."
Lin Mujin said, "Brother, please take care of the fire. I will give her something."
She went to the first floor carrying her bags and knocked on the door before entering.
"Weng Nuan, these are all bought for you. You can use them for now. You can buy more for yourself later when you are more familiar with them."
Weng Nuan was a little dumbfounded, "Are they all for me?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "Yes. I originally wanted to buy you a pair of canvas shoes, which are comfortable and can be matched with clothes, but I didn't know your size, so I didn't buy them. I only bought a pair of slippers. It's more comfortable to wear slippers at home."
Weng Nuan was very touched, "This is too much, I..."
Lin Mujin said, "They are all daily necessities. I didn't buy anything expensive. This piece of brown coarse cloth is a curtain. You are on the first floor and it is easy to show your underwear. After dinner, ask my brother to come over and get some wire to hang the curtain."
Weng Nuan immediately said, "Do I need to sew it? I don't have any needle and thread."
Lin Mujin replied, "My sister has it and will give it to you later."
She turned around again and said, "Your room is still missing a desk. I'll bring that down for you later."
Just use her desk. As for what she uses? Of course, the one she made.
Weng Nuan didn't refuse because she really needed the desk and she wanted to draw the design.
Lin Mujin asked Weng Nuan to clean up while she went upstairs to cook. She would call her upstairs to eat when the food was ready.
"That Miss Lin..."
Lin Mujin was about to go out the door when she heard Weng Nuan calling her.
Turning back, "What's up?"
Weng Nuan was a little embarrassed. "Um...can I eat by myself in the house from now on? I like to read while eating."
Lin Mujin understood that this was due to the restraint of having dinner with her family. She understood!
After all, we don’t speak the same language, so it would be awkward to get along with each other.
"I cooked a lot of dishes today to welcome you. You can eat in your own room later if you want."
Weng Nuan smiled, "Thank you, Miss Lin."
Lin Mujin waved her hand, "It's not a big deal."
It's also a good thing for Uncle Lin and the others that she doesn't come to eat together.
There are eight dishes and one soup on the dinner table.
Lin Mujin had already introduced Weng Nuan to her family. She picked up the soup bowl and said, "Soup instead of wine. Welcome, Comrade Weng Nuan."
Then he said it again in Cantonese, "Welcome, Ms. Warmth. Cheers!"
He took the initiative to touch Weng Nuan and drank it with his head tilted back.
It's just half a bowl of soup, it doesn't matter if it dries up.
Lin Mujin used a serving chopstick to pick up a lot of dishes for Weng Nuan, fearing that she wouldn't be able to eat them all.
Weng Nuan stopped him, saying, "I'll do it myself. Are all these dishes made by Miss Lin?"
Lin Mujin smiled with a row of small white teeth, "I made it, my craftsmanship is not bad."
Weng Nuan gave a thumbs up, "Comparable to a great chef."
Lin Mujin smiled even brighter, "Then you should eat more."
Lin Muli asked Lin Mujin, "Sister, this sister is a teacher at Tsinghua University. I know Tsinghua University. They are very strong in science and engineering."
Lin Mujin didn't expect that her younger brother actually knew about National Tsing Hua University. "Yes, she is a counselor in the Department of Architecture."
Lin Muli looked at Weng Nuan with some admiration, "Then she must be a good student."
Lin Mujin said as a matter of course, "That's natural. I wouldn't poach someone if they weren't excellent."
He turned to Weng Nuan and said, "My younger brother knows about National Tsing Hua University and that you are a teacher there. He thinks you are amazing."
Weng Nuan blushed a little at the compliment, "You know I was recommended for admission, so it's a bit of a stretch."
Lin Mujin didn't like what she said. "Who said that? I picked you from the best of the best. Let's work together to make Jinshi a model project. Who cares about that diploma?"
A diploma is just a stepping stone. Once you get in, you have to rely on real talent and knowledge.
