Everyone was shocked to hear that Chen Xiangxiu had a cheongsam.
In everyone's impression, the cheongsam is a very impractical garment, something that only young ladies from wealthy families wore in the old days. Nowadays, working people, who would wear that kind of clothing? How could they work in it?
Seeing everyone's confusion, Chen Xiangxiu explained with a smile, "It was passed down from my great-grandmother and eventually came into my hands. My great-grandmother was quite remarkable in the past. She was a tailor who made clothes for young ladies from wealthy families. Her embroidery was also exceptional. Unfortunately, by the time it was passed down to our generation, there was no opportunity for her to showcase her skills."
Hearing her say that, Lu Wanqing became interested and wanted to see what the cheongsam looked like in the old days.
“The clothes are at home, hidden away. If you want to see them, I’ll bring them over next time I go home,” Chen Xiangxiu said readily.
Lu Wanqing: "Okay."
After that, the conversation drifted to other topics, and the meal didn't end until after eight o'clock.
After Wang Guangming's family and the Luo brothers left, Lin Ye began to clear the dishes, and Lin Xiaocui helped wash them.
Lu Wanqing helped Zhao Xiaolan wash up and coaxed her to go to bed early.
Zhao Xiaolan was so excited that she kept holding Lu Wanqing's hand and talking to her over and over again, urging her to have a baby as soon as possible.
Lu Wanqing had a feeling that Zhao Xiaolan was pretending to be stupid!
How did she know that if we wanted to have a grandson, we'd have to rely on her?
After finally getting her to sleep, and then washing up myself, it was already past ten o'clock.
On the bed, Lin Ye held Lu Wanqing's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "Wife, what kind of cheongsam is that?"
"You want to know? I'll wear it for you next time."
"I've never seen anyone wear that. I heard it's like a skirt, straight-cut, and really inconvenient for working. Honey, I won't let you do chores, but you can wear it." Lin Ye chuckled foolishly.
When Lu Wanqing actually designed a cheongsam from a piece of Dacron fabric, secretly wore it that night, and showed it to him, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"Wife, why are you still showing your arms? And this slit is way too high, your legs are showing too much." As for the tight fabric that outlined her curvaceous figure, he was too embarrassed to say it aloud.
"Honey, this dress doesn't suit you, it's too cold, take it off!" Lin Ye regretted what he said a few days ago.
The polyester fabric is a little transparent; if I wore this out, people would see everything.
"It's too cold to wear it now. I'll wear it when it gets warmer," Lu Wanqing said deliberately.
Lin Ye got impatient and glared at her, "You're never allowed to wear this. You should just wear a dress instead. You look better in a skirt."
Lu Wanqing smiled and deliberately made a flirtatious gesture. Lin Ye felt a ticklish sensation in his heart, as if a feather had brushed against it, when he saw her deliberately teasing him.
He pulled her around the waist with his large hand, and her whole body pressed against Lin Ye's rough and savage body.
His hand followed the curve of her hips up from the slit, his rough fingertips caressing her skin through the fabric, making her body tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing that her eyes were glazed over and she was already aroused, Lin Ye became even more unrestrained. The two of them stood there, embracing each other, and kissed as if trying to meld each other into their bodies.
When Lu Wanqing woke up the next day, her cheongsam was nowhere to be found. When she found it again, it was torn into rags and lying on the ground, which made her blush.
You can tell how wild they were last night just by looking at how tattered their clothes were.
When Lin Ye saw that she was awake, he kissed her forehead and smiled smugly, "Wife, could you make some more clothes like this in the future, so I can wear them tonight?"
Lu Wanqing pulled the blanket over her face, revealing only a pair of clear, deep eyes, like a bottomless pool.
Lin Ye's heart melted at the sight. He hid under the covers and hugged her waist again.
In the days that followed, Lin Ye busied himself turning over all the land in his private plot, and then used the sprouted sweet potatoes he had saved to cut into pieces and plant a small plot.
Once the sweet potatoes have grown into seedlings, you can pinch off the seedlings and plant them back in the ground.
Lu Wanqing then started taking orders and getting to work.
At this time, most of the orders were for coats, so she took some time to go to the county town and buy a batch of thick fabric for making coats.
Since she was in the county town, she naturally brought some gifts to pay her a belated New Year's greeting to Zhang Changgui. Zhang Changgui and Zhang Wei had helped her a lot; Zhang Wei usually didn't accept gifts, but she couldn't refuse him during the New Year.
However, Zhang Wei was too busy and she didn't see him at all; only Zhang Changgui received her.
"Wanqing, I'm just glad you can see me. Don't mention things next time. How's Wang Guangming doing in your brigade?" Wang Changgui smiled and put the things aside.
Lu Wanqing had already guessed that Wang Guangming's sudden appointment as captain of the Shengli Brigade was partly due to his father's influence.
"Captain Wang is a good person. He is not only conscientious and responsible, but also a good leader. He is much better than his predecessor." Lu Wanqing made no attempt to hide her praise.
Zhang Changgui's face beamed with joy. "That's good. It proves my judgment was pretty good. I visited their home once before and saw that this child is a reliable one."
Lu Wanqing thought to herself, "Although Zhang Changgui has retired, I didn't expect him to still have so much influence. It's probably because his son is successful that people give him face, which is only natural."
After leaving Zhang Changgui's house, she went to Liu Zhengfeng's house, but no one was home, so she left her things with his neighbor.
Liu Zhengfeng had already warned his neighbors not to accept anyone's belongings on their behalf, but Lu Wanqing was an exception.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Liu Ying called out to her from behind.
Liu Ying clutched her stomach, her face pale, seemingly in pain.
Lu Wanqing quickly stepped forward to take her arm, opened the courtyard gate for her, and helped her to the sofa to rest.
"Sister Wanqing, my stomach hurts so much, please sit down for a while." Liu Ying curled up on the sofa, clutching her stomach.
Lu Wanqing then asked where the brown sugar and ginger were in the house and went to make her some brown sugar and ginger water.
Of course, she secretly added spiritual spring water to it, and she also cracked an egg into it. Even without spiritual spring water, this egg soup is very effective for menstrual cramps.
Sure enough, after Liu Ying finished the whole bowl of egg drop soup, her stomach pain subsided, and she felt warm and comfortable.
“Every time I get my period, I’m in a lot of pain for the first two days, and I always have to take time off work to go home and lie down. Thank you so much this time.” Liu Ying was very grateful.
"It's nothing. Just brew it yourself and drink it a few more times. I promise your stomach won't hurt anymore."
After Lu Wanqing finished speaking, she went next door and brought over the gifts, explaining that they were a belated New Year's greeting to Captain Liu and that he must accept them.
Liu Ying accepted the gifts without hesitation, pulled her to sit down, and asked, "Sister Wanqing, can you make cheongsams?"
Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment. Lately, the topic of cheongsams is going to stick!
