Chapter 23 You wait
Once the bride price and wedding date are set, everything else is no longer a problem.
Even after consulting with the parties involved, Lu Xiangyang and Jiang Jiani insisted that there was no need for a grand celebration.
Since they've already registered their marriage, the ceremony is just a formality to inform close relatives and friends that they're married. Unrelated people don't need to worry about it; they'll find out eventually.
Lu's parents and Jiang's parents were not very willing.
It's not easy for a family to have a child who can get married, how can we not have a big celebration to let everyone know?
But young people have a lot of ideas.
It's best to either have a small event with close friends and family, or simply not have one at all, which saves trouble.
No parent could go against their child's wishes, and both sets of parents had no choice but to agree.
However, Lu's mother insisted that they must take wedding photos.
"We didn't have a big ceremony, so we can't just skip taking wedding photos, can we?"
"Young people these days take wedding photos when they get married, so you guys have to take one too."
"We'll keep one for our family and one for Jia Ni's family."
"Let everyone who comes see and know that our child is getting married properly."
Jiang Jianni: "..."
She didn't want to take those tacky wedding photos at all.
Lu Xiangyang recalled his comrade's wedding photo, his eyes blazing with passion: "I also think that wedding photo was pretty good."
"Let's take lots of pictures then."
"Put one in our own home, at our parents' place, in your office, and in my office."
"No, take more pictures at home, make them big, and take smaller ones for the office, seven inches, just right for the desk."
Jiang Jiani: Too many complaints to even express.
I always feel like their roles have been reversed.
When they arrived at the photo studio and saw the wedding dress that everyone was praising, Jiang Jianni's face darkened.
This photo studio is said to have been open for less than two years.
There were only two wedding dresses, and both were dirtier than the other.
The pristine white wedding dress had turned gray, and the hem was pitch black as it floated through the coal pile.
Seeing that Jiang Jiani's expression was not good, the boss pursed his lips and imitated a half-baked Taiwanese accent: "Hey, if you don't have money, don't try to take wedding photos like other people."
"Wedding photos are expensive. If you don't have the money, don't try to act rich like others."
"Hey, hey, don't touch it!"
“This wedding dress was specially bought from Hong Kong, it cost several thousand yuan, so please don’t damage it, you can’t afford to pay for it.”
Jiang Jianni couldn't help but ask, "You keep saying 'la la la'? Do you have an upset stomach and want to have diarrhea?"
Several customers present quickly turned away and chuckled.
The proprietress's face turned pale, and her hand trembled as she pointed at Jiang Jianni: "You, you, you..."
After stammering "you" for a while, she pointed to the door and screamed, "Get out!"
"Get out of here!"
"Get out of here!"
"We won't take your wedding photos! We won't make that little bit of money from you!"
"What will you do when you get married?!"
This is the only wedding photography studio in the entire Pingyang City.
Even with only three wedding dresses, business is still booming.
Especially during the peak wedding season in autumn and winter, the waiting list for photos can be as long as half a month.
Therefore, the proprietress felt emboldened.
Jiang Jianni had always looked down on their clothing and photography skills, and upon hearing this, she grabbed Lu Xiangyang and left.
"You wait!"
The proprietress spat and said, "Just wait and see what kind of nonsense you're going to spout."
After being dragged out of the photography studio, Lu Xiangyang said, "I have a comrade who's pretty good at taking pictures. How about we have him take some photos for us?"
Jiang Jianni turned to look at him, her eyes unblinking: "We can't take wedding photos anymore, aren't you angry?"
Lu Xiangyang: "Given their attitude, I'd rather find someone to take the photos myself. It's not like we don't have cameras."
And honestly, those clothes looked really filthy.
Like Jiang Jiani, he couldn't understand how anyone else could wear such dirty clothes.
Jiang Jianni laughed: "Exactly, it's just a wedding photo. We have a camera, can't we take it ourselves?"
"Wedding dresses are easy to make, aren't they? You can make them yourself by buying some fabric."
Let's get right to it.
After returning home, Jiang Jianni began writing letters to her university classmates scattered across various locations.
One advantage of having gone to university is that you have a wide network of connections.
As long as the relationship isn't too bad, if you need help with something, as long as it's not excessive or inconvenient, people will try their best to help.
A few days after the letter was sent, the property ownership certificate was issued.
Jiang Jiani started getting busy with the renovation.
Jiang Haibing was getting impatient with her as she calmly started drawing her own plans: "You're decorating a house, why are you drawing plans? What haven't the craftsmen done? Do you need to tell them what to do?"
Jiang Jianni pulled out a few of her drawings to show him: "Have you ever seen your master make this kind of thing before?"
Jiang Haibing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the blueprints: "What...what is this?"
Why is there a hollow piece in the middle and another hollow piece at the bottom?
Jiang Jianni sneered: "You think you've seen everything? How come you haven't even seen this before? This is a shoe cabinet."
Jiang Haibing slammed his fist on the table: "Jiang Jianni, don't talk nonsense! This doesn't look like a shoe cabinet at all! Whose shoe cabinet looks like this?"
Jiang Jianni looked at him with pity: "I told you before to read more books, and now look what happened, you can't understand it anymore, can you?"
Jiang Haibing pounded his chest in anger: "Who's the older brother and who's the younger sister between us? You brat, how dare you talk to your brother like that?"
Jiang Jianni sighed: "Alright, I won't make fun of you anymore."
"But I'm really not lying to you, this really is a shoe cabinet."
She explained the blueprints, which turned out to be a design commonly seen thirty years later.
The only pity is that I don't know where to find LED strips now, otherwise it would look even better with LED strips installed.
Jiang Haibing was astonished: "You think so much about a shoe cabinet?"
Making a shoe cabinet is one thing, but also considering regular shoes, slippers, low-rise boots, mid-rise boots, high-rise boots, and so on.
Especially after hearing that there are boots that can go past the knee and up to the thigh.
Jiang Haibing, who prided himself on being worldly-wise, still couldn't imagine what such long boots looked like: "Wouldn't you not need to wear pants if you wore these boots?"
Then another question popped into my head: "Thighs are much thicker than calves, won't the top of the shoe upper slip off?"
Jiang Jianni looked at him speechlessly: "How about I make one for you and you try it on?"
Jiang Haibing chuckled: "Then there's no need."
"What would it look like for a grown man like me to wear your women's shoes?"
Besides shoe cabinets, there are other wardrobes of various sizes, and their styles are different from what is commonly made nowadays.
Especially the wardrobe; I don't know why, but just looking at Jiang Jiani's drawings makes it seem very clean and neat.
He looked at the blueprints over and over again, then suddenly asked, "Jiani, what do you think about me getting a group of people to specialize in this renovation?"
"Let's make the kind you're talking about."
"I always felt that your design would be more popular with young people than the ones that everyone is doing now, because I really like it."
What do you think?
