The young couple went to make a phone call, and Lu Yuanchao followed them home. Xu Dong stayed behind, taking a silk scarf he had brought back from Hangzhou and following Lu Xiaoqin into the kitchen.
"Xiaoqin, this is for you."
Lu Xiaoqin happily accepted it, "Thank you, Brother Dongzi!"
Xu Dong added, "I'll leave the cloth that Brother Yuan gave you to you. Make yourself some new clothes later."
Lu Xiaoqin refused, "No need, Brother Dongzi, I have clothes to wear."
This piece of cloth is too much; it could make about 20 garments.
"The fabric is useless to me. Neither Grandma nor I know how to sew. You should keep it and make a few outfits for yourself, Xiaojun, Grandma and me, okay?"
This time, Lu Xiaoqin didn't refuse anymore, "Alright then!"
Xu Dong ate at Lu Yuan's house before returning to his own home. Two days ago, Xu's grandmother and Lu Xiaoqin had cleaned their house thoroughly, so Xu Dong could take his grandmother home to stay as soon as he got back.
Grandma Xu was actually very reluctant to part with Lu Xiaoqin, her future granddaughter-in-law, and held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Lu Xiaoqin had no choice but to send the person back home.
As soon as they got home, Grandma Xu started rummaging through her purse and urged Xu Dong, "Dongzi, quickly take Xiaoqin to the supply and marketing cooperative next door to buy some things that Xiaoqin likes."
Lu Xiaoqin quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I don't like anything."
He started to run outside as he spoke.
"Grandma, I'm leaving now."
"Hey, Xiaoqin, don't go yet!" Grandma Xu called out anxiously.
He didn't even bother to rummage through his purse, but handed it all to Xu Dong, saying, "Go and chase after Xiao Qin."
Xu Dong returned the money bag, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Grandma, I have money. Keep this for yourself. You stay home for now, I'll go see Xiaoqin off."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out.
When Xu Dong chased after her, Lu Xiaoqin had already left the courtyard.
"Xiaoqin, wait a minute."
Lu Xiaoqin turned around, her face flushed, not daring to lift her eyes.
"Brother Dongzi, is there anything else?"
Xu Dong scratched his head and stepped forward with a smile, "I heard that our brigade opened a supply and marketing cooperative. I don't even know what it's like. Come with me to take a look."
Lu Xiaoqin said, "I can go shopping with you, but you can't buy me anything. I don't need anything."
Xu Dong wanted to calm the person down first, so he agreed.
The two walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative one after the other. One of them, clutching the hem of his clothes and blushing, walked ahead, while the other stared at the person in front of him, a smile playing on his lips, following closely behind, without saying a word.
There were many people coming and going at the supply and marketing cooperative, and there were no secrets in the brigade. Everyone already knew that the two were dating.
Someone joked, "Dongzi, Xiaoqin, are you here to buy things for your wedding?"
Xu Dong glanced at Lu Xiaoqin, whose face was flushed, and quickly waved his hand, "No, Auntie, we just came to take a look."
"Oh, don't be embarrassed. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This supply and marketing cooperative has everything. They even have the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a radio, sewing machine, and watch) for weddings. Dongzi, hurry up and get everything ready for Xiaoqin."
Xu Dong didn't know how to respond to that, he just scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, while stealing glances at Lu Xiaoqin.
Lu Xiaoqin's face was already flushed red. She turned to Xu Dong and said, "Brother Dongzi, you can browse the supply and marketing cooperative by yourself. I'm going back first."
He ran away after saying that.
Xu Dong had no interest in browsing the supply and marketing cooperative anymore, so he had no choice but to chase after the person and see them off.
A burst of laughter came from behind.
When Lu Yuan, who came to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask Hong Xia for the replenishment order, saw this scene, he grinned and laughed along with everyone else.
He thought that love in this era was probably like this: shy yet pure.
