Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Cheng Maixiang and her mother got up early and went to bed late, worked overtime, and finally finished making the ten pieces of clothing for Ruan Peiling.
On a midsummer morning, the bright sunshine shines through the dense shade of the trees, casting spots of golden light on the ground.
Cheng Maixiang sat on the back seat of Lin Jiayu's 28-inch bicycle as usual, closing her eyes to enjoy the breeze blowing in her face, and humming a song again.
She had originally agreed with him last time that she would be busy making clothes for the next ten days and that he wouldn't have to come to the countryside. He had indeed not come to bother her these days. But unexpectedly, he showed up at her house early this morning, ready to take her to the city.
What a careful and considerate man!
Cheng Maixiang couldn't help but give him such an evaluation in her heart. Thinking that this person would be her husband in the future, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction in her heart.
Along the way, the two ran into many acquaintances in the village. When they asked about Lin Jiayu's identity, she answered loudly, "He is my boyfriend." She really wanted everyone to know that she had an outstanding boyfriend that everyone envied.
Listening to Cheng Maixiang humming an unfamiliar melody behind him with her arms tightly around his waist, Lin Jiayu's heart was filled with joy. This was a feeling he had never experienced in nearly twenty years.
From the age of eleven, he seemed to be thrown into a dirty and dangerous river by the hand of fate. He could only swim forward with all his strength. Once he stopped, he would drown. He swam hard for ten years but never saw the shore.
He originally thought that this was the end of his life, but God had mercy on him. Just when he was in despair, a pair of warm hands suddenly stretched out in front of him and pulled him out of the suffocating river.
"By the way, I've discovered that you're quite good at pleasing children. My nephews and nieces are even closer to you than they are to me."
Lin Jiayu was just beaming with joy when he suddenly heard Cheng Maixiang say with a hint of dissatisfaction, "I won't cook for these little brats anymore. They're a bunch of little traitors!"
Even without turning around, Lin Jiayu could still imagine his lover's cute face with a pouty smile, and his heart softened. "Your nephews and nieces are all very cute, especially that little niece. The dress she's wearing is really beautiful."
Of course they look good. These two dresses were specially designed by her. When she took them out today, the little girl's eyes widened and she couldn't see anything else.
"It looks good, doesn't it? Don't worry, I made one for Yingying too. I'll give it to her today. I guarantee she'll look even better in it."
Yingying actually has one too!
Lin Jiayu was ecstatic. Although Cheng Maixiang casually mentioned making a little skirt for Yingying that day, and he knew that Yingying had been looking forward to it since that day, he did not hold too much hope. After all, Cheng Maixiang had accepted an order for twenty pieces of clothing, and she probably would not have time to make a skirt for Yingying in a short time.
Unexpectedly, she not only remembered it, but also completed it so quickly. It seems that she really regards her relatives as very important people.
Lin Jiayu exerted force with his feet and pedaled the 28-inch bicycle very fast. Cheng Maixiang screamed in surprise, but immediately opened her arms. The strong wind hit her arms, and she laughed into the wind.
Lin Jiayu drove Cheng Maixiang to the park where the three of them had discussed business last time. He was afraid that Ruan Peiling would discover their relationship, so he hid under the pretext of parking his bicycle. Cheng Maixiang went to the grove alone.
Today happened to be the weekend, and many families were visiting the park. There seemed to be quite a crowd in the woods as well. Cheng Maixiang saw a dozen girls chattering in the woods and was about to leave when someone suddenly stood up and called out to her, "Comrade Cheng, here!"
It turned out to be Ruan Peiling!
When she shouted, more than a dozen girls turned around and looked at Cheng Maixiang, exclaiming one after another.
Ruan Peiling came over, took her hand and looked her up and down, her eyes filled with unconcealable amazement.
She wore a white short-sleeved tight-fitting shirt on the upper body and a pink skirt on the lower body. The wide skirt further highlighted her slender waist. She had a high ponytail on her head, tied with an embroidered light yellow scarf.
She is wearing a pair of ordinary white shoes, but when paired with this outfit, the original rusticity is completely gone, and instead she looks indescribably fresh.
"They look really good! You really know how to match clothes." Ruan Peiling sighed from the bottom of her heart. "Come here, these are the comrades from the art troupe. Last time, when I heard that I had ordered clothes for them, they were very curious. Today, taking advantage of the weekend, they insisted on coming with me to take a look."
Cheng Maixiang greeted everyone gracefully.
"Are you really from the countryside? I don't think you look like one at all. You dress much more fashionably than the rest of us."
A girl about seventeen years old looked at Cheng Maixiang's clothes with envy and asked in disbelief.
A few days ago, I heard Ruan Peiling say that she bought a set of clothes for several of them. Everyone was very happy at first, but when they heard that the clothes were made by a country boy, they were extremely disappointed. Later, when they heard that each piece of clothing cost ten yuan, they were even more shocked.
After discussing it, everyone took advantage of the day off to go out and see who the country girl that Ruan Peiling praised so much was. Unexpectedly, when they met, she actually made them look like country people.
Cheng Maixiang smiled faintly and said nothing.
The actresses in the art troupe naturally claim to be pioneers of the fashion of the time. In their minds, country people are hopelessly unfashionable. They never thought that country people are also better at dressing up than them.
Ruan Peiling's face changed. She was about to scold the girl, but Cheng Maixiang changed the subject, "This is the clothes Comrade Ruan ordered for you. I have made them and brought them here. Take a look."
