Lu Wanqing had never designed a dress before, so she really didn't know how to price it.
However, it's natural not to accept too many cute and adorable little girls like Liu Ying.
“If you need me to provide the fabric, it’ll be 4 yuan. If you just want the processing done, it’ll be 3 yuan, okay? Trust me, I’ll definitely make you a really beautiful dress.” Lu Wanqing said sincerely.
If Luo Hao asked them to make clothes, it was out of friendship to help.
This deal with Liu Ying was their very first deal in their careers.
"Great! It's even cheaper than Old Xu's tailor shop!" Liu Ying was clearly very satisfied and insisted on having them stay for lunch.
Lu Wanqing raised her wrist to check her watch, and sure enough, it was already 12 o'clock.
Looking at her fair hands, and the graceful and elegant way she raised them, Liu Ying was secretly amazed. Was this really a country wife? She was even more refined and charming than her sister-in-law from the provincial capital!
After Lu Wanqing and her group said goodbye, they walked quite a distance away, but she was still standing at the door waving to them.
......
The group sat down at the state-run restaurant and ordered several home-style dishes, including stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, eggplant with minced meat, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Ye looked at Lu Wanqing with his dark eyes, unable to suppress a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Wanqing asked coquettishly.
Lin Ye: "My wife is amazing, she got the order so quickly."
"This is all thanks to Mom." Lu Wanqing dared not take credit, and then she analyzed:
“The village is too poor, and there are too few people who make clothes. Many people will sew and patch the same garment for three years and rarely spend money on making clothes. It’s different in the county town. Factory workers like Liu Ying have a monthly salary. Spending a few yuan to make clothes and making a few pieces a year is not unaffordable.”
"Hmm, I also noticed that her family has a washing machine and a TV, so they must be quite well-off," Lin Ye added.
Lu Wan thought back and realized that she did have them. Since her home in Beijing had all of these appliances, she hadn't paid much attention to it.
In comparison, life in the countryside is indeed far inferior to that in the county town.
Even if electricity is available in the countryside, let alone the inability to afford expensive appliances, many families would be reluctant to pay for electricity.
"Aye--" Lu Wanqing suddenly looked straight into his eyes and called out.
"Hmm?" Lin Ye had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was as elegant as a gentleman.
"If the college entrance examination is reinstated, will you participate?" Lu Wanqing finally asked the question she hadn't asked in a long time.
Lin Ye stared at her intently, silent and thoughtful, before finally saying slowly, "How about we take the exam together and both get into the capital? That way, we won't be separated, and you can be closer to your parents."
He absolutely couldn't bear to be separated from her, not even for a single day.
Lu Wanqing was very satisfied with his domineering answer. He had always been a very opinionated person and never gave up easily on what he pursued. She had been too narrow-minded and thought he would overthink things.
However, she decided to skip the trip back to the capital; she really didn't want to face the person who had pushed her into hell.
Whether it's her parents' sudden favoritism or Qi Wei and Lu Jiajia's betrayal, now she just wants to stay away from those people and live a peaceful life with the person she loves most.
......
After Lu Wanqing returned home, the postman delivered a letter from the capital.
As expected, her mother, Zhang Guixiang, told her that Qi Wei and Lu Jiajia had decided to start dating, and that she should stay in the countryside with peace of mind. She said that the family would find a way to help her return to the city later.
The letter arrived earlier than she expected. Lu Jiajia was indeed very capable; she had won over Qi Wei in such a short time.
As long as the two of them are locked together, they won't hurt anyone else.
In her previous life, the man who married Lu Jiajia was completely devoted to her, but she betrayed him, and he eventually lost his mind.
In this life, let Qi Wei and Lu Jiajia torment each other!
Over the next few days, the table that Lin Ye had asked the carpenter to make was finished and placed in the room. When Zhao Xiaolan was making patterns, she no longer had to put the fabric on the bed.
Lin Ye fertilized the sweet potato vines and found that they were growing very well, changing every day.
The wedding attire that He Shujuan requested had been made and delivered to her. He Shujuan was very satisfied and immediately sent the attire to Zhou Ling's house as the only betrothal gift.
When Liu Ying's dress was finished, Luo Hao took it with him when he went to the county town. The response was excellent, and he even brought back several orders for the same size. Several of Liu Ying's coworkers also wanted to make similar dresses.
Busy as they were, by mid-July the rice was ripe and it was time for a double harvest.
The double harvest season is the busiest time of the year.
The rice needs to be harvested, and after that, the fields need to be plowed and rice seedlings transplanted; the time is very tight.
Lin Ye earns ten work points every day at work, making him one of the busiest figures in the fields.
However, every day when he came back, his arms and legs were covered with marks from being cut by rice leaves, which made Lu Wanqing feel very distressed.
"Aye, let me put some ointment on you."
The ointment contains Lingquan water.
Although he drinks mung bean soup made with spring water every day to boost his strength and improve his skin, he can't withstand being damaged by rice leaves every day.
Lin Ye had just finished showering and dried her hair. When she heard that she needed to apply ointment, she obediently sat down on the edge of the bed.
Elaine Chao and Snowball both went to bed early and are already fast asleep.
The dim light of the kerosene lamp shone on them, giving them a dreamlike appearance.
His vest was pulled down, revealing his strong body. Lu Wanqing's small hands applied ointment, moving like little snakes across his skin.
Despite the ointment being supposed to be cooling, Lin Ye felt as if his blood was boiling, making him feel unbearably hot.
