Chapter 1172: Respect the Clothes First, Then Respect the Person
At the Fu family, Lu Miao calmed down and sat down at the table to eat with his family, chatting and laughing.
On the other side, Chen Xiangdong put down the phone, turned his head and looked at the tall man in a dark blue suit beside him and said:
"Mr. Cheng, I'm really sorry. You know the nature of my sister-in-law's work."
Cheng Yingjie squatted down slightly, pressed his brows down and pursed his lips.
Although he was a little disappointed for no reason, he still kept a smile and behaved like a gentleman:
"It's okay, it's understandable that she's busy with work."
After that, he said gently:
"If the timing doesn't match this time, then we can wait until next time. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Chen Xiangdong nodded immediately:
"Yes, my sister-in-law also said what she would do next time. She said that she would definitely treat you to a meal to make amends the next time she goes to Guangzhou."
"That's too much."
Cheng Yingjie raised his hand.
Where is the word "apologize"?
However, even though he said "that's too serious", his furrowed brows slowly relaxed and a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his eyes.
He handed the box he was carrying to Chen Xiangdong and said:
"I'm bringing some gifts for Comrade Lu and the children. Please pass them on for me."
"Hey, okay!"
Chen Xiangdong took the things and said:
"I was so caught up in the conversation about the contract that I forgot to ask, Mr. Cheng, do you have plans for where to stay tonight?"
Cheng Yingjie arched his eyebrows and said gently:
"The assistant had already booked the hotel before coming here."
Chen Xiangdong originally thought that since they had cooperated so many times, if Cheng Yingjie had not found a place to live yet, he would arrange something for him.
Now that he heard that Cheng Yingjie had already made arrangements, Chen Xiangdong touched the back of his head dryly and said:
"I-Is that so? Okay then!"
After a short pause, he asked seriously:
"Mr. Cheng, when is your flight tomorrow? I'll drive you there in advance."
Cheng Yingjie smiled gently and patted him on the shoulder.
"I appreciate your kindness, but these are all arranged in advance. Next time, next time I will definitely not be so formal with you."
"Well, that's true..."
Cheng Yingjie spoke politely yet in a friendly manner. Chen Xiangdong rubbed his head back, feeling a little embarrassed.
After being politely rejected twice in a row, Chen Xiangdong roughly understood Cheng Yingjie's attitude.
His sister-in-law didn't come, and Cheng Yingjie guessed that she didn't plan to have dinner with them.
Chen Xiangdong was tactful and didn't mention it again.
The two sides sat down to drink tea and chatted a few more words about the expected cooperation.
It was not until Cheng Yingjie said he wanted to go back that Chen Xiangdong got up with him and drove him back to the hotel.
Although he didn't become the host, he played the role of hospitality and sent Cheng Yingjie to a six-story hotel that had just opened in the past two years. Then Chen Xiangdong went out to Quanjude and ordered a roast duck.
Before closing, he went to Daoxiangcun in Wangfujing and packed two boxes of authentic dim sum to send to Cheng Yingjie.
They were partners and friends, so it was always a good idea to be considerate in their interactions. Let's talk about the Fu family.
The weather was getting warmer. At night, the children took a bath. When Tang Mei packed up their pajamas, she also took out all their summer clothes.
I didn't realize it until I took out the clothes, but when I did, I found that the children had grown taller.
Whether it's for adults or children at home, Lu Miao always insists on tailor-made clothes.
The clothes are indeed neat and tidy, fitting well and looking decent.
But adults are fine, after all, their stature has been fixed.
Children can't do that.
People grow fast when they are small, so if you don’t leave enough room in your clothes, you will have to replace them after two seasons.
Many of the clothes I had newly cut last year are already an inch or half an inch too short, not to mention the ones I had earlier...
"The eldest brother's clothes can still be picked up by Dabao to wear, but whose clothes will that girl pick up? Won't Shi'an and Erbao have to start all over again?"
In the room, Tang Mei shook out her clothes under the light and looked at them, feeling so regretful.
The next morning, when Lu Miao went downstairs to eat, Tang Mei mentioned this to her:
"If you make clothes for a few more children a couple of inches longer, many of them will be worn for only a quarter of the last year and become unwearable without much wear and tear. How sad is that?"
"Yeah, yeah, got it."
Lu Miao nodded slowly and ate, responding perfunctorily, but still thinking the same thing in his mind.
How does the saying go?
Words can suppress a gentleman, and clothes can intimidate a villain. Respect the clothes first and then the person.
In this world, almost no one can escape the stereotype of "judging people by their appearance", but people are visual animals.
In a sense, dressing up nicely is often a form of "quick progress".
She would not look down on others easily, but she would mind if others looked down on her family and children.
One never knows how many obstacles one will encounter in one's life.
If a few sets of well-fitting or high-quality clothes can help your child avoid taking detours, why not do it?
Besides, now is not the same as before when we couldn’t afford money.
No matter how fast a child grows, he or she will only be given a few sets of clothes a year. How can you say whether it's a pity or not?
Lu Miao lowered her eyelashes, ate her meal slowly, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and waved to the children with a smile to go upstairs with her.
Things like fabrics are always available at home, and a sewing machine is also readily available.
Lu Miao originally planned to measure the children's sizes again and cut out the clothes while he still had some free time today, Sunday.
As a result, I was halfway through my work when I heard some noise in the yard downstairs.
"Grandma, grandma!"
Nie Yunge came in from the front door, ran all the way from the hanging flower gate into the inner courtyard and shouted:
"Are Shi An and his sister home?"
"Oh, it's Yun Ge! He's here, they're all at home!"
Tang Mei waved enthusiastically in response.
When the boy came closer, Tang Mei touched Nie Yunge's head lovingly. Seeing that he was carrying other packages in addition to the scooter, she couldn't help but glance towards the front yard and asked:
"Why did you bring so many things? Where's your aunt? She sent you here today and didn't even ask to come in and sit down?"
"Grandma, I came here by bus this time. I didn't ask my uncle to drive me here."
As Nie Yunge explained, he lowered his head and carefully took out a plastic bag and handed it to Tang Mei:
"This is the rice dumpling my aunt made. She said the Dragon Boat Festival is coming in a few days, so she asked me to bring some over for you to try."
"Oh, thank you, thank you. Your aunt is so thoughtful."
Tang Mei thanked the Xue family for the rice dumplings, but was shocked by Nie Yunge's words:
"You kid, it takes several buses to get here from your house. Aren't you afraid of being kidnapped?"
Nie Yunge scratched his ear embarrassedly:
"Grandma, I'm already eleven years old. All kids know how to take the bus!"
Tang Mei nodded, touched his head and continued to instruct:
"Then you should also be more careful on the roads, give way to larger vehicles, and ignore strangers, okay?"
"I know, Grandma!"
Nie Yunge nodded randomly, carefully holding another small transparent plastic bag in his hand and said:
"Grandma, I'm going to play with my sister!"
Tang Mei nodded and was about to speak when Shi An, Ming Xia and the others popped their heads out from the edge of the terrace and shouted:
"Nie Yunge!"
"Brother Yunge, we are upstairs, come up and play!"
