The three of them said goodbye at the door of the restaurant.
Boss Lu looked at Mr. Huang's back as he staggered away and couldn't help but sigh. Misfortune is so torturous!
The meal was a bit uncomfortable. The deal was settled, the food was delicious, and the brothers were good brothers, but it was a bit sad.
Boss Lu rubbed his hands and thought of his family.
"Come on, now that we've settled our business, let's go to the department store and buy some things so we can appease the mistress of the house when we get back."
Erhua agreed as soon as he heard it and followed him happily.
The department store is full of dazzling goods, and the dazzling light shining through the windows is so beautiful!
Erhua followed Boss Lu around, not knowing what to buy. Seeing Boss Lu weigh out three pounds of braised dried tofu and one pound of rice dumpling candy, he bought the same.
After buying, the two of them walked to a place full of bottles and jars. Erhua took a closer look and found that they were the scented oils used by women!
"You're such an idiot! Look here," Boss Lu said, pointing to the glass cabinet. "Buy Luo Zhen a lipstick."
Erhua knew about lipstick. It made the lips look red when applied on them. When he first arrived in the city, he noticed that all the women had red lips, and then he realized that they must have been wearing lipstick.
This thing is rare in the countryside. Last time Luo Zhen took Qiuhua to take a photo, the people in the photo studio used this thing to wipe their mouths and also put a red dot between their eyebrows.
Erhua also laughed that Qiuhua's big face had become even bigger.
The salesperson inside took out two sticks. The grown man didn't know anything about the colors, so he just bought three at random and prepared to go back and let Luo Zhen choose first, and give the rest to Qiuhua and A'sao.
After buying things, the two walked towards the hotel. There were not many people on the street and the weather was cold. The two walked forward with their newly bought things in their arms, hunched their necks, and put their hands in their pockets.
After walking through the main street and into the alley, the shop we were staying at was not far away.
"Oh, there's no one there."
Boss Lu sniffed and guessed that the tip of his nose must have turned red from the cold.
Just as he finished speaking, a long voice came from the dark alley, which was particularly creepy in the pitch-black night.
“Why is there no one…”
Erhua shuddered and looked around, wondering if it was a female ghost from somewhere!
"Master... come, come..."
He shuddered again. There was a puddle of urine in his stomach to keep warm. He was almost scared to death.
With the help of a little light from the street lamp, he saw that Boss Lu's face was even redder, and there was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.
Erhua bravely looked in the direction where the sound came from, and vaguely saw a woman waving at them. He couldn't see her face, and a coquettish scent gradually filled the cold air.
"Who is this?" Erhua asked in a low voice.
"Silly boy!" Boss Lu laughed, and Erhua trembled again.
"Come on, brother will take you to see the world."
Boss Lu pulled him into the shadow. Erhua reacted, smiled sullenly and shrank back.
"Brother, no, I need to go back to pee!"
"What kind of excuse is that? It's so hard to explain! Let's go! If we miss this opportunity, we'll miss it forever!"
"I really don't want to go. I really don't want to go." Erhua took the things from Boss Lu's arms and said, "It's just right for me to help you take the things back. This way it will be convenient for you."
Boss Lu smiled, patted Erhua and said, "Okay, I'll go then. You have to help me keep this a secret from your sister-in-law!"
Erhua nodded and walked into the shadows with a smile. When the woman saw him coming, she hugged him tightly. Boss Lu's heart was filled with excitement and his bones were soft as ice.
Watching them leave, Erhua pondered the woman's graceful and twisting body. His throat tightened, he patted himself twice and continued walking forward.
Things are going well. We will go back tomorrow. Erhua packed up his things and prepared to go to bed.
He looked at the things they bought from the department store, and thought of how beautiful Luo Zhen looked with lipstick on, and his heart felt sweet.
Then look at the big bag that Boss Lu bought, which is more than what I bought.
Lying on the bed, Erhua pricked up his ears to listen to the movements outside. Boss Lu had not arrived yet.
People are really multifaceted. Boss Lu is another benefactor to me after my father-in-law. Without him, I would not be who is so obsessed with business now.
However, for the sake of justice, Erhua reminded himself that some things can be learned and some cannot be learned.
Erhua woke up early in the morning, had breakfast and went to call Boss Lu. After knocking for a long time, he finally opened the door with a sleepy look on his face.
"Brother, when are we going back?" Erhua asked.
Boss Lu rubbed his eyes and said, "It's still early. I just... went to bed late last night..."
Erhua chuckled. Boss Lu smoothed his messy hair and said a little embarrassedly, "Well, that woman yesterday was too powerful!"
…
When he got home, Erhua took out the things he bought for everyone like showing off his treasures, including braised tofu, rice dumpling candies, and lipstick.
"Come on, apply it."
Before going to bed, Erhua took out the lipstick, opened the lid and twisted it outwards twice, and a red tip emerged from the black tube.
Luo Zhen was very pleased with it, but she said, "Why buy this? No one in the countryside would wear this."
"If you're embarrassed to put it on, then put it on at night and leave it to me alone to see."
As she spoke, she took the little red tip and rubbed it on her lips. They looked bright red and really pretty.
"Look, how beautiful it is!" Erhua brought a mirror to her and Luo Zhen blushed.
Seeing her like this, Erhua's throat tightened and his voice became a little hoarse when he spoke.
He gently hugged her, rubbed her shoulder and said, "Why are you still like a grown-up girl?"
Luo Zhen turned around and patted his shoulder. Erhua grinned and bit her bright red little mouth. After a while, the lipstick was smeared outside both of their mouths.
"We've only been apart for two days, but it feels like longer than two years..."
They whispered sweet words to each other.
It started to drizzle outside, and gradually it got heavier, hitting the roof like drumbeats, becoming faster and heavier.
Luo Zhen was riding on a small sail boat in the autumn rain. The rain hit the side of the boat. She didn't need to steer the boat. The boat drifted along the water with the rain, sometimes being thrown into the air, causing her to scream, and sometimes falling into the bottom of the waves, causing her to shout out.
Every autumn rain brings a chill.
After a few rains, Erhua and Boss Lu reopened their store.
This time, the cooperation model has changed. Erhua also invested money in the shop, and the two of them each own half of the shop. On weekdays, Erhua mainly leads his apprentices in Tangli Village to make furniture, while Boss Lu manages the shop in the city.
He would visit the store every now and then to check on the situation, and wander around the city more often to get a good understanding of the customers' preferences. After all, there were more and more foreign products, and if he wanted to be better than them, he had to think more about the styles.
The business was getting better and better, and customers were ordering more and more furniture. There was no time to make them all, so Erhua simply expanded the small workshop, gathered young people from the Tang family, and opened a rosewood furniture factory.
In the midst of his busy life, he would recall his childhood dreams and smile with satisfaction. It seemed that making a fortune was just around the corner.
