Chapter 469 Return Gift
Chen Guilan originally wanted to invite her eldest brother and second brother's families to her house for dinner in the evening, and she had prepared the ingredients yesterday.
I also discussed this with Chen Mei and Chen Ju during the meal, and they both agreed.
But now it seems that it is impossible. Liu Fucheng drank too much and fell asleep on the kang. Wang Jianming was drunk, and he became more active when drunk. He insisted on teaching Chen Jiang ballroom dance, the kind that Chen Jiang had to learn.
Zhao Shunfa was happy to watch the fun and even encouraged Cheng Yu to turn on the speakers so that they could dance. Cheng Yu actually turned on the speakers. Wang Jianming wanted to get others drunk even though he had such a low alcohol tolerance. Now, no one else was drunk, only he was.
When Chen Guilan and Chen Guisheng's families left, Wang Jianming was still dancing with Chen Jiang in the living room, and Chen Guichang couldn't stop him.
Chen Guisheng and his friends did not stay at Chen Guilan's house for dinner. They sat for a while and then said they wanted to go back and come back another day.
Lu Jingyou invited them to go on a national travel trip, but they all refused to go, saying they were tired and wanted to go back and rest. Before leaving, Zhao Shunfa held Lu Jingyou's hand, feeling reluctant to part.
Lu Jingyou promised to visit him in the village next time he came. Only then did Zhao Shunfa reluctantly drive the tractor and take his whole family back to the village.
After a long day of noise, Su Jiaojiao finally had some peace and quiet. She lay down on the bed, feeling even more exhausted than at work. This time, Lu Jingyou wasn't drunk at all. He sat beside her and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. When are you planning on going back?"
"I'll be back after the Lantern Festival. I have some things to do here." Su Jiaojiao told him about the windbreaker order at Qimei. "Cai Ting will be here the day after tomorrow. We'll try to get this done within a week."
"Do you have to work so hard?" Lu Jingyou held her hand. "Actually, it's good enough that you have something to do. You don't have to work so hard. In my opinion, you've already scored full marks."
"A perfect score isn't good. After that, you start losing points." Su Jiaojiao smiled. When she heard Chen Guilan cleaning the living room, she sat up from the bed and said seriously, "I don't think it's hard. I need a hit product to stabilize my capital chain."
"I'll give you whatever amount of money you need." Seeing her spending a lot of money to buy real estate in Sunshine Classic, Lu Jingyou thought she had enough money.
"Not now. I'll tell you when I need it." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to use his money. If you are in the clothing business, you have to constantly develop new styles, grasp popular trends, and lead the industry trends to really make money, instead of just introducing funds.
Different industries have different ways of monetization.
Chen Guilan knocked on the door but didn't go in. "Jingjiao, I'm going to the market. Is there anything you need to buy?"
"No." Su Jiaojiao got out of bed, walked out and asked her, "Mom, what are you going to the market for? I'll go with you."
"You don't have to go. It's the newly opened seafood market opposite the community. It just opened today. I'll go and take a look." Chen Guilan has been preparing a return gift for Lu Jingyou these two days. She asked Chen Guisheng to buy two kilograms of dried shrimp and sweet sun-dried shrimp skin from the village, but this was not enough.
If Su Jiaojiao accompanied her to the market, Lu Jingyou would definitely go with them. It would not be appropriate to buy a return gift for someone in front of them.
After Chen Guilan left, Lu Jingyou said, "My grandma wants you to go back early and stay with her for two days."
"I told you, I won't go if you're not home." Su Jiaojiao was silent for a moment before saying, "Think about it, if I'm not here, how would you feel if you came to my house alone?"
"I'll accompany you then." Lu Jingyou expressed his understanding.
"That's more like it." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to continue the topic and asked about the second Fangji Factory. Lu Jingyou said that he would deal with it after returning to the suburbs of Beijing and it shouldn't be a big problem. "That's good." Su Jiaojiao didn't ask any more questions. She opened the drawer and took out the charger. "You take a rest for a while. I'll go back to my room and take a nap."
"I can't rest well without you by my side." Lu Jingyou hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Let's go on an international trip..."
"What are you thinking about?" Su Jiaojiao understood and said with a slightly angry tone, "No, my mother will be back soon."
"Then you have to consider my feelings too..." Lu Jingyou kissed her without saying anything, wishing he could marry her right now and never be separated from her again.
Chen Guilan walked around the seafood market for more than an hour. Coincidentally, the owner of a dry goods store was an acquaintance from Wutong Village. Upon hearing that she was buying gifts for people, he recommended that she buy dried sea cucumbers, saying that they were all local wild sea cucumbers that were definitely worth selling.
It’s just that the price is expensive, one box costs twelve hundred yuan, and that’s the price for acquaintances.
Chen Guilan bought two boxes without hesitation. She grew up by the sea and could tell the difference between wild sea cucumbers and farmed sea cucumbers.
These two boxes of dried sea cucumbers have thick spines, pointed at both ends and thick in the middle. They are small in size and have different colors. They are genuine wild sea cucumbers.
Every time Lu Jingyou came, he brought a lot of good wine, cigarettes and tea. The only gift she could think of in return was this local specialty.
Lu Jingyou never thought that Chen Guilan was out to buy him a return gift. He knew that this kind of wild dried sea cucumber was very expensive, so he refused to take it, saying there was no need to be so polite. Chen Guilan insisted that he take it, saying that no one would go back empty-handed and it was a courtesy.
When Lu Jingyou heard that it was a courtesy, he couldn't refuse.
When Mrs. Lu saw the sea cucumbers and shrimps that Lu Jingyou brought back, she kept saying that Su Jiaojiao's mother was thoughtful and that they were obviously carefully selected. Moreover, wild sea cucumbers were also very expensive on the market.
Lin Manli didn't even go forward to take a look. What kind of good specialties could there be in the countryside? Besides, they could buy anything here, so it wasn't something special.
What made her unhappy was that Lu Jingyou left in the afternoon of the second day of the New Year and came back on the seventh day. He actually stayed in their house for four or five days.
Mr. Lu didn't ask anything, but just mentioned asking Song Xiangyun to be the matchmaker. He wanted to put the marriage on the agenda as soon as possible.
Lu Jingyou said that Su Jiaojiao's mother would come to the capital on May Day, and they would talk about it after she arrived. Lin Manli was very disdainful when she heard this. She really didn't want to become an in-law with a divorced woman...
She was an experienced person, and she could even foresee what her son's future would be like after marrying Su Jiaojiao. He would be morally kidnapped by the rural relatives of the Su family, and then constantly asked Lu Jingyou to do this and that for their relatives.
It’s scary to think about.
After seeing Lu Jingyou off, Su Jiaojiao took the production process sheet to Qimei to discuss the production of windbreakers with Mr. Kang. On the way, he bought her a bouquet of flowers as usual.
Ms. Kang accepted the flowers and thanked her repeatedly. She glanced at the production process sheet and smiled, "We also made an order for windbreakers last year. They were exported to Europe and the United States. They have been very popular in the past two years."
"Fashion is a cycle, and trench coats are definitely a classic and popular style. In fact, I planned to make one last year, but kept putting it off until now." With the floral shirt as a good example, Su Jiaojiao is very confident about trench coats.
"It's not too late now. They'll be available in two months. The season is just right." Mr. Kang reached out to fiddle with the flowers on the table and asked Su Jiaojiao, "Have you heard about Qin Shuang's situation?"
"Are you talking about the crafts?"
"Yes, I heard the police came to see her yesterday." Qin Shuang looked at Su Jiaojiao meaningfully. "Yu Baiqiang provided important evidence. Lu Jiaping can't escape anyway. As for Qin Shuang, it depends on whether she is involved or not."
"How do you know all this?" Su Jiaojiao was very puzzled. She had been with Lu Jingyou for the past two days, and she had never heard him mention it. If something happened to Lu Jiaping, he would definitely get the news.
"Yu Baiqiang called me last night. I asked him about the progress of this matter, and he told me."
Su Jiaojiao didn't say anything else.
