Chapter 8

In the afternoon, at the time agreed with Mrs. Liang, Song Shu opened the drawer and took out the bag of money, putting it in a small denim bag she had made at noon.

Then he took Jiahui to the front room. Chen Zonghao and his team had already started working. The wooden frames that were originally in the room had been moved out and the rolling shutter door had also been taken down.

Seeing her coming out, Chen Zonghao came over and asked, "Go out?"

"Yes." Song Shu nodded, "I have made an appointment with Mrs. Liang."

Chen Zonghao heard this and turned around and called out, "Ah Wen, please help look after Jia Hui first. Your second sister-in-law and I are going to go out for a while."

"Got it, Brother Hao." Awen nodded in response.

Song Shu was now completely immune to the term "Second Sister-in-law". She just didn't expect Chen Zonghao to go with her. She couldn't help but wonder, "You're going too?"

Chen Zonghao looked at her, "I don't want to see the headline of tomorrow's news being 'A woman fainted while moving things on the street.'"

Song Shu rolled her eyes at him, not finding his sneer funny. She knew he was implying that she was feeling irritated from moving things just now.

In fact, she was not as weak as he thought. As a designer in her previous life, it was common for her to walk briskly in high heels while carrying a pile of clothes weighing dozens of kilograms. It was just that her original body was a little malnourished.

Song Shu ignored him and said to Awen, Shitou and the others, "Then I'll trouble you guys."

Ah Wen shook his head, "Not a problem at all, sister-in-law."

Shitou, who was standing next to him, glanced at his brother Hao and yelled, "Don't worry, brother Hao didn't believe me and didn't ask me to look after Jiahui. It was my second sister-in-law who believed me."

Song Shu was speechless for a while as she watched him act funny. Could she take back her words that bothered him now?

Chen Zonghao beside him ignored Shitou's words and said to Song Shu, "Let's go."

"Coming." Song Shu replied, following him with her bag tightly in her hand.

＊

As soon as she walked out of the door, Chen Zonghao stopped and looked at her and said, "You are afraid that others don't know that you have money, right?"

"Ah?" Song Shu was puzzled for a moment, and then she looked at the bag she was holding tightly. Well, her frightened look was really like telling the thief, "I'm very rich now, come and rob me."

Song Shu took a look at his tall figure and his aura that showed he was not to be trifled with, and immediately straightened her back. Well, she had the male protagonist, so who was she afraid of?

＊

When the two of them arrived in front of Liang Sao's shop, Liang Sao just walked out of the shop. When she saw Chen Zonghao, she said, "Wow, what a rare guest."

Chen Zonghao straightened his face and called out, "Sister Liang."

Liang's wife looked at the two of them and said jokingly, "They really are a newlywed couple. They can't leave for even a moment."

Song Shu's face turned red and she opened her mouth to say something, but the more she explained, the more she thought about it, so she kept silent with a blank face.

But Chen Zonghao was very thick-skinned and his expression did not change at all.

Liang's wife joked for a while and then stopped talking. She said, "Then let's go."

"Okay." Song Shu responded and walked with her.

Chen Zonghao followed behind the two of them. The person in front had a ponytail and wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of blue wide pants. The short-sleeved shirt was tucked into the waist of the pants, making her figure look slender.

In front of her, Liang Sao was also discussing Song Shu's clothes. Liang Sao said, "Your clothes look so good together."

The clothes were still the ones she brought with her, and the pants were not very stylish, but Song Shu used a silk scarf to tie the waist of the pants to show her waist, which made her look harmonious and eye-catching.

Girls walking on the street are often attracted by the scarf pinned around her waist.

Song Shu said: "It's mainly about the scarf. There are many ways to use the scarf to match clothes..."

"Really?" Liang Sao listened carefully and felt relieved about the store that Song Shu was going to open. Before, she thought it was too rash for Song Shu to open a store right after arriving in Hong Kong, but now, after hearing her talking calmly about various topics related to clothing, she felt that her previous thinking was narrow-minded. It seemed that Shu was really confident in opening this store.

The three of them walked out onto the street and came to the place where they were waiting for the bus. After a while, a double-decker bus drove over and Chen Zonghao gave the three of them coins.

Liang's wife sat down on the seat, and seeing Song Shu curiously looking up at the second floor, she said, "Shu, go up to the second floor and take a look. The view is great."

Song Shu felt itchy after hearing this, but she didn't refuse and nodded, saying, "Then I'll go to the second floor."

Even in her previous life, she had only taken this special double-decker bus many times, and the scenery of Hong Kong now is very different from that in the future.

Liang's wife watched Song Shu go upstairs, and said to Chen Zonghao with a smile, "Haozi, why don't you go up with us?"

Chen Zonghao followed suit and said, "Sister Liang, I'll go upstairs then."

Liangsao looked at him with amusement, "Go ahead."

But Liang's wife felt relieved, seeing that Haozi had a wife now and Ashu was a good girl, Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen could rest assured.

She remembered that when she and her husband came to Xiangjiang, the Chen family helped them a lot. Even when she gave birth to her eldest daughter, Chen's mother came to the hospital to help.

Therefore, she was also very sad about what happened in the Chen family. Seeing Haozi lost his father and mother at a young age, and now he has lost his elder brother, leaving only him and his niece. How cruel.

Fortunately, we now have Ah Shu. I hope the two of them can continue to help each other and live a good life.

＊

Song Shu sat by the window on the right side of the bus and opened the window. She placed her hands on the window, feeling the breeze and looking at the scene on the street. She felt extremely comfortable.

At this time, the sound of someone sitting down came from the side. Song Shu turned around and saw Chen Zonghao sitting next to her. As soon as he sat down, he leaned back in the chair, folded his arms, closed his eyes and dozed off.

Song Shu glanced at him, did not disturb him, turned around and continued looking out the window.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the destination, got off the car and continued walking for a while.

＊

There were farmlands all around, but there was a wide road. After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at a small factory.

A woman in her thirties wearing a white suit and black wide-leg pants came out. She had short curly hair and looked very capable. She smiled at Liang Sao and said, "Liang Sao, long time no see."

"Hello, big boss." Liang's wife greeted her warmly, "I brought my beautiful girl Ah Shu to pick out some fabrics from you this time."

The woman pretended to glare at Liang's wife and said, "I told you not to be so formal. Call me Ali."

Then she turned to Song Shu and said, "Ah Shu, you can just call me Sister Li. Although Sister Li's factory is a little small, I dare say that I am one of the most valuable fabrics in Hong Kong."

Liangsao nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. The fabrics here at Ali are really cheap and of good quality."

Song Shu said, "I believe in Sister Liang's judgment, and you, Sister Li, look like an urban beauty and you don't look like someone who would lie."

Sister Li curled up her lips and said, "You are such a sweet girl, I think you tie this scarf very beautifully..."

The three of them walked inside while talking, apparently forgetting about the other person.

Halfway through the journey, Sister Li turned around to look at Chen Zonghao and asked, "Is this handsome guy with you guys?"

Liang's wife joked, "It's the porters."

Song Shu laughed and nodded, "Yes, he is a mover."

Chen Zonghao heard the laughter and glanced at her. Song Shu covered her mouth and turned her head away embarrassedly.

＊

Several people came to a place that looked like a warehouse, where fabrics were piled up and classified on several long tables.

Song Shu suddenly felt dazzled and overwhelmed.

Sister Li explained as she led them around: "This kind of fine textile has smooth details and good air permeability, which is especially suitable for making summer clothing; and this kind of suede has a clear texture, is smooth and soft, and is a better shirt fabric; as for this kind of flavor, it feels soft and smooth, has good drape, and is suitable for all kinds of suits and skirts..."

Sister Li explained to them one by one the general uses of various cloths, and even laymen like Liang Sao and Chen Zonghao could understand.

"Wow, it turns out that different fabrics have different uses." Liang Sao exclaimed.

Song Shu carefully felt the different fabrics with her hands. Even though the weaving craftsmanship of these fabrics was not as good as that of later generations, it had to be said that it was very outstanding in that era.

After looking around, Song Shu started shopping and bought some of the more commonly used fabrics, whether they were the popular denim fabrics or other fabrics. If her wallet did not allow it, she would have wanted to empty out the factory.

She also missed out on a large piece of silk fabric because there was a large piece of black dye stained in the middle of the white silk fabric. Sister Li sold it to her at a 50% discount, but this piece alone cost her nearly 500 Hong Kong dollars.

The reason why she bought this piece of silk was because she thought of the youth fashion design competition and had an idea.

Finally, she picked out five large snakeskin bags of fabric, which was enough for her to make clothes for a while.

Chen Zonghao didn't say anything, but just asked, "Is that enough?"

Song Shu nodded with difficulty, "That's enough."

After paying, her jeans had shrunk a lot. She didn't ask Chen Zonghao to pay for her, and he didn't argue with her.

But after paying the money, Song Shu looked at the five big sacks of things and felt a little embarrassed. Even with Chen Zonghao as a mover, it would take two trips to move them all.

Fortunately, Sister Li seemed to see their difficulties and said, "I have a tricycle that I can lend you. If you need it in the future, you can call me and I will deliver the goods to you."

After saying thank you, Song Shu got on the tricycle and sat next to the driver's seat. The small front seat squeezed both her and Chen Zonghao, with their shoulders touching and their legs touching. Liang's wife took the bus back.

Behind them were several large bags of things, and the car was rumbling against the wind.
