Chapter 24
When she shouted, Liang Qiurun looked over subconsciously.
Across the bustling crowd, he spotted Jiang Meishu at a glance. She was dressed very simply today, a blue jacket that had been washed out and had patches on it, baggy pants, and black old Beijing cloth shoes.
It was obviously just an ordinary dress, but when worn on her, it had a sense of elegance and grace.
Nothing else.
It's just because her face is too outstanding.
But in the blink of an eye, Liang Qiurun stood up and waved, "Here."
Jiang Meishu's dazed eyes focused and brightened instantly. She trotted over, "Director Liang."
She called out, "Have you been here long?"
Liang Qiurun shook his head, "I just got here too."
That's a lie.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Jiang Meishu shook her head. She was so angry when she was about to leave that she didn't even bother to eat. When she met her sister later, she felt even more embarrassed and ate the buns that Shen Zhanlie bought for her.
"Then see what you want to eat."
Liang Qiurun was very considerate. He was worried that Jiang Meishu was not familiar with the place, so he took her to the cafeteria window to order food.
Outside the small window, there was a small square blackboard with today's dishes and meals written on it.
There are notes at the back.
Jiang Meishu stared at the food on the blackboard. She couldn't help but slurp her saliva. "Can I order anything I want?"
Liang Qiurun noticed her greedy look and nodded, "Of course."
Jiang Meishu rubbed his hands together, "Then I won't be polite."
"I want this meat bun and tofu pudding."
“And this roast duck.”
However, wouldn’t it be too greasy to eat roast duck early in the morning?
Forget it, her stomach is already lacking in oil and water, so why does she care whether it is greasy or not? Her waist has been reduced to less than 1.7 feet long due to hunger.
Jiang Meishu squeezed her waist and looked up to see Liang Qiurun looking at her with a smile. She paused, her ears burning, "Do you think I ordered too much?"
She felt like she was a girl on a blind date in the future who went out to eat for free.
But, God damn.
She really didn't mean to take advantage of the other person.
She was simply hungry.
"Won't."
Liang Qiurun even introduced her to the donkey rolls they have there, saying, "Their donkey rolls are delicious too."
"Would you like some?"
When it comes to food, Liang Qiurun is obviously more familiar with it than Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"
"Can."
"Comrade, can you help me add a bowl of donkey rolls to the original?" Liang Qiurun looked at their menu. "It's all dry. How about a bowl of shrimp wontons?"
"This is the latest addition to the state-owned restaurant. It's very popular."
Jiang Meishu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing her agree, Liang Qiurun said to the waiter, "Then bring two more bowls of wontons, and I'll send them to table two later."
The waitress wanted to say that they didn't have delivery service, but noticing Liang Qiurun's aura, she immediately changed the subject and said, "Okay, comrade, please wait a moment."
As expected, it is said that the waiters in state-owned restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives are arrogant, but in fact, it is not true. They also serve food according to the menu.
When Liang Qiurun paid the bill, Jiang Meishu had already gone to table number two and was waiting. She looked at the documents Liang Qiurun placed on the table with some curiosity.
Some are processed, some are not.
She only took a quick glance and quickly looked away, because it would be impolite to continue looking.
Jiang Meishu was worried that many of the documents inside were confidential.
Actually, not really.
Liang Qiurun would never take the truly confidential documents outside for processing. The documents that could be taken outside for processing were all well-known.
Jiang Meishu looked around curiously, but she didn't see Secretary Chen, who was always inseparable from Liang Qiurun.
"Looking for Secretary Chen?"
Liang Qiurun was holding a round white porcelain plate with six big, white, soft meat buns on it.
Jiang Meishu's attention was instantly diverted.
"yes."
"So soon?"
Liang Qiurun nodded, "The meat buns are all steamed in advance, so we can take them directly." He pushed the meat buns in front of Jiang Meishu, "This way you should eat them while they're hot. You can try them first."
Jiang Meishu swallowed shamefully, she was still a little embarrassed.
Liang Qiurun picked one up and handed it to her, his eyes gentle and his expression tolerant, "It won't taste good if it's cold."
He is so easygoing.
It's a bit too gentle and tolerant.
This made Jiang Meishu feel a little hot and swollen in her heart. She did not hesitate and took the big meat bun. She took a bite. The bun skin made of Fuqiang flour was soft and sweet, and the gravy in the soup was extremely tender. With a puff, the soup sprayed all over her mouth, and it was so hot that the tip of her tongue almost curled up.
Tears in her eyes.
"Why are you crying again?"
Liang Qiurun felt helpless and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, but Jiang Meishu refused to use it. "This is all oil, the handkerchief is dirty."
"Is there any paper?"
It was so hot that I shivered and asked.
Her skin was fair, and when it got so hot, her whole face was pink with sweat, like a ripe peach, plump and juicy as if it was about to overflow.
Liang Qiurun's eyes darkened slightly, and he stood up. "Wait a moment."
He took out some paper and handed it to Jiang Meishu. After Jiang Meishu wiped it clean, the tip of her tongue felt a little painful. She saw Liang Qiurun looking at her with concern.
She explained a little embarrassedly, "It was too hot, and I ate it too hastily."
She had been here for so long, but this was the first time she had eaten big meat buns made with Fuqiang flour.
For ordinary people, this is undoubtedly the New Year. Of course, for the Jiang family, this is also true. There will be no Fuqiang flour on the Jiang family table all year round, because Wang Limei sells all the fine grains in the family every month and exchanges them for coarse grains so that the whole family can have enough food.
As for meat, that's even more impossible.
Seeing Jiang Meishu like this, Liang Qiurun just smiled casually and said, "Then you should save some space. The wontons and donkey rolls are delicious."
"As for the roast duck, it's also a must-try."
Jiang Meishu knew he was reminding her. She bit the skin of the meat bun, reluctant to swallow it, "Thank you."
Seeing her like this, Liang Qiurun sighed slightly in his heart.
He didn't pick up his chopsticks.
He just looked at Jiang Meishu quietly and ate two big meat buns in one breath without stopping.
But the wontons haven't arrived yet.
Liang Qiurun stood up and went to the waiter, who asked for a glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink."
Jiang Meishu took it and said, "Thank you."
She drank half a cup in one breath, and only then did she feel a little more at ease in her stomach.
"More?"
Liang Qiurun pushed the plate of buns forward.
Jiang Meishu shook her head and hesitated, "Can I pack one to take back?"
Her sister had two buns and brought one to her.
She had six buns, including one for Liang Qiurun, and she also wanted to pack a bun for her sister.
In fact, after what happened this morning.
Jiang Meishu then realized that perhaps the only person in the world who treated her well, did not ask for anything in return, and always put her first was not her mother - Wang Limei.
But it was her sister, Jiang Meilan.
Because only her sister can accurately understand every little emotion of hers.
And be able to understand her, enlighten her, and even think about and solve problems from her perspective.
Even mother Wang Limei couldn't do this.
Liang Qiurun was stunned when he heard this request. He nodded immediately and said, "Of course, this is the breakfast I bought for you."
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and said seriously, "Director Liang, you are a good person."
"When I become rich, I will definitely repay you."
She meant what she said.
Liang Qiurun couldn't help laughing. He was born very gentle, and when his affectionate eyes were slightly curved, there was an indescribable charm in them.
Even Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment.
Liang Qiurun, "It's just a meal, Comrade Jiang, there's no need to be so polite."
As soon as she finished speaking, the wontons were served. Liang Qiurun pushed them three inches in front of her and said, "They say these are fresh meat wontons that came from old Shanghai. You can try them."
He asked for a bowl for himself too.
Jiang Meishu uttered a sigh, took it and took a sip of the soup of the fresh meat wontons. It was so delicious. The soup was made from big bones, with dried shrimps and seaweed added, and cooked with small wontons with thin skin and lots of meat.
One sip warms your stomach.
Jiang Meishu felt that even if this blind date failed, her trip was not in vain.
In the poor and difficult 1970s, she felt that being able to eat a bowl of fresh meat wontons and a large meat bun was worth dying for.
Liang Qiurun watched her eat, then slowly said, "You eat first, let me introduce my personal situation."
Jiang Meishu ate a small wonton and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "You talk, I listen."
She really has no problem going on blind dates with strange men.
There was no shyness or embarrassment, and his mind and eyes were filled with food.
Liang Qiurun rested his gaze on her chubby cheek for a moment, then a smile flickered in his peach blossom eyes. He coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll be frank."
"I'm thirty-three years old and currently work at the Capital Meat Processing Plant as the factory manager. My monthly salary is two hundred and twenty dollars."
At this point, Jiang Meishu hadn't even finished her buns yet, her eyes wide open as she asked, "How much?"
"Two hundred and two."
Liang Qiurun repeated.
Jiang Meishu took a bite of the bun and muttered, "Your salary is so high."
Her father worked as a chef in a meat processing factory all his life, and his monthly salary barely exceeded 40 yuan.
Liang Qiurun's salary is four times that of her father.
Liang Qiurun thought for a moment and said, "It's not high, but it's not low either. It's enough to make ends meet."
This was still considered enough food and clothing, but Jiang Meishu felt that she was begging.
"You continue to introduce yourself. When I'm done eating, I'll introduce myself too."
She was very calm and did not feel inferior even when she was wearing tattered clothes.
Liang Qiurun hummed, "After introducing the work, let me introduce my personal situation. I'm unmarried, but I have a son who was adopted from my comrade."
Having said this, he paused slightly and said, "Comrade Jiang, since we are sitting here, I will be frank. Liang Rui's father saved my life, so he is my only child."
He was testing whether Jiang Meishu could accept it, and was also observing her attitude to judge his next move.
Jiang Meishu bit her bun and thought for a moment, "You mean, Liang Rui's father saved your life, so if our blind date is successful, I will also treat him as the child of my savior, right?"
"So you have to hold him in high esteem and treat him like a little emperor, right?"
Liang Qiurun, "???"
Is that what he meant?
Liang Qiurun stared at Jiang Meishu for a moment, trying to find any sign of joking on her face, but there was none.
This is exactly what Jiang Meishu meant.
Liang Qiurun was silent for a moment, "Comrade Jiang, that's not what I meant."
"My main reason for going on blind dates is to find a wife who can take care of my children in the future, as I may be traveling frequently.
"I understand." Jiang Meishu, "You want me to be a heartless stepmother."
Liang Qiurun paused, "You can understand it this way."
Jiang Meishu licked her lips. The soup was so delicious. "That's definitely no problem."
A ruthless and vicious stepmother.
She is so good at it.
Seeing that she understood, Liang Qiurun continued, "Let me tell you about my family situation. My parents are still alive, and I have four siblings, of whom I'm the youngest. But that's not important, because our blind date was successful, and we won't be living with them."
Jiang Meishu understood, "So if we get married, we'll live separately, right?"
"right."
"Where do you live?"
This determines whether she will agree to the other party.
"In the courtyard house in Dongcheng, there are only Liang Rui and Comrade Wang who is responsible for cooking."
Jiang Meishu, "Yes, no problem." After she gets married, she will have a big house to live in and Comrade Wang to cook.
Putting aside Liang Qiurun's impotence and Liang Rui's rebelliousness, she thought they were all minor problems.
She had no special expression.
Liang Qiurun's voice was gentle, "This is basically my situation."
Jiang Meishu, "Then let me introduce myself."
It was rare that she didn't continue eating, but put down her chopsticks and said, "My name is Jiang Meilan." It was so mysterious that she almost revealed her true identity.
However, at the most critical moment, she swallowed it back because she had no confidence.
Both to yourself.
Also for my sister.
Her sister just got married, so nothing can go wrong.
Likewise, she can't.
After thinking it through, Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and took a sip of water. Her tone became more coherent. "Jiang Meilan, I'm 22 years old, graduated from high school, and work as a temporary worker in the meat processing factory union."
She found that from the moment she and her sister exchanged identities, there was no going back.
Because one lie needs to be covered up with countless lies.
"I also have four brothers and sisters in my family."
“That’s basically my situation.”
Her personal situation is actually more fragile than Liang Qiurun's.
Moreover, Liang Qiurun knew all of what she introduced herself, just as Jiang Meishu knew Liang Qiurun's situation.
"You are twenty-two?"
Liang Qiurun asked in a low voice.
Jiang Meishu nodded, "Yes."
Liang Qiurun silently calculated the age difference between the two of them, "I am eleven years older than you."
Jiang Meishu said, "I know."
She knew it before she came, so she kept asking Liang Qiurun whether to call him Lao Liang.
"Can you accept that?"
Liang Qiurun seemed to be giving Jiang Meishu a chance to regret. He sat down and looked down at her, his peach blossom eyes fanned out at the corners, his pupils as black as ink.
Jiang Meishu nodded, "Yes, I guess. If not, I wouldn't be here for a blind date."
As he finished speaking, the waiter brought the roast duck.
Jiang Meishu's eyes lit up and her attention was immediately diverted.
Liang Qiurun smiled slightly and said, "Eat the roast duck while it's hot. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."
"Also, if everything is fine, let's move on to the next step."
He treats blind dates as a job, which is divided into three steps. Although the process is complicated, it must be said that each step is just right.
Jiang Meishu, "What?"
Liang Qiurun said, "These are three rules." He is not a perfect person, so some issues need to be put on the table.
Otherwise, it is marriage fraud.
Jiang Meishu nodded, and the roast duck was cut open. She picked a piece of roast duck with golden skin and meat attached, and took a light bite. The skin was crispy, the meat was tender, and the flavor was extremely mellow.
"You say." She said softly.
Liang Qiurun looked up at her and said in a gentle voice, "I'm very busy with work. Whether before or after marriage, I may not go home often, or I may go home very late."
"Of course, I know this is my inadequacy as a husband, so I will make up for it by handing over all my salary, including the family's passbook."
Jiang Meishu stopped eating the roast duck. She took a bite of the meat bun and said, "Whatever you want."
Of course let him do it!
My husband is busy with work and doesn't come home, but he still hands over his salary.
For Jiang Meishu, this is definitely a good thing.
Not to mention that she can't go home because she is too busy with work. If he finds a mistress outside in the future, as long as he pays her a lot of money, she can go and take care of her during the confinement period.
Anyway, she only cares about money, not love.
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Liang Qiurun paused and said, "Then let's talk about the second condition. You also know the relationship between Liang Rui and me. He is the only child I will have in the future."
"So we separated after marriage and didn't want children."
When he made this request, he was already prepared for the possibility of being rejected by Jiang Meishu.
But no.
Jiang Meishu bit into the roast duck and said, "It's up to you."
Anyway, she didn't want to fulfill her conjugal duties nor did she want to have children.
Liang Qiurun's request just happened to meet every little wish of hers.
Liang Qiurun was a little stunned. "Comrade Jiang, do you know what I'm talking about?"
Jiang Meishu nodded and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "Of course I know."
"Living apart after marriage and not having children means not interfering with each other and doing your own things, right?"
Liang Qiurun, "Yes."
"Then do you still agree?"
In his impression, no lesbian would agree to such harsh conditions. Therefore, before this, Liang Qiurun was not enthusiastic about blind dates and marriage.
"Agree, why not agree?" Jiang Meishu asked, "How do you know that your excessive demands are not what I like?"
"Director Liang, not every lesbian is willing to get married, and not every lesbian is willing to have children."
At least, she isn't.
She had no way out.
Her family wouldn't even leave her a small bed of 1.2 meters.
She had no job, which meant she had no choice but to get married.
And Liang Qiurun is the best candidate among all the options she can choose, no doubt about it.
Liang Qiurun looked at Jiang Meishu carefully for a moment, as if he was meeting her for the first time. "Comrade Jiang, you are very different."
Jiang Meishu, "Thank you."
"The roast duck you ordered is delicious."
Liang Qiurun clenched his fists and chuckled, "Since you can agree to the previous conditions, then I will ask the last question."
When he mentioned this, his expression became more serious. "Comrade Jiang, I won't hide it from you."
Liang Qiurun raised his hand and probed towards Jiang Meishu. As soon as he touched Jiang Meishu's hand, the back of his hand to his wrist was covered with a thick layer of goose bumps.
"Comrade Jiang, do you understand?"
He didn't want to mention his secret problem, but if he didn't say it, and let Comrade Jiang marry him like this, he always felt that he was being deceived in marriage.
This is unfair to the other party.
Jiang Meishu was still a little dazed, "What?"
She then looked down and saw that Liang Qiurun's jade-like skin was covered with goose bumps. When she looked up, she saw Liang Qiurun's face that was deliberately forbearing.
"You can't touch women?"
Jiang Meishu asked this question for some unknown reason. This seemed to explain why Liang Qiurun didn't touch her sister after she married him in her previous life.
He is not impotent.
But you can't touch women at all?
is that so?
Liang Qiurun shook his head. "Not only that, I can't have physical contact with people."
"This group includes men, women, young and old."
this--
Jiang Meishu suddenly laughed and said, "Before I came here, my family told me that I shouldn't marry a man who beats his wife."
"Director Liang, it seems like it's good that you can't interact with others. At least, I won't have to worry about being beaten by my husband, right?"
There are too many men who commit domestic violence these days.
She had previously worried about how to circumvent it.
Okay.
Now that's better.
Lao Liang was so perfect that she even thought it was tailor-made for her.
Liang Qiurun didn't expect that his unspeakable flaws would become unspeakable advantages in the eyes of the other party.
This made Liang Qiurun feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. He looked at the other person straight in the eye, his eyes as dark as ink, deep and obscure. "Comrade Jiang, this is my shortcoming."
"A fatal flaw."
A man, a husband, cannot touch his wife, his lover.
That is the greatest shame for a man.
Jiang Meishu said, "Advantages and disadvantages are all human evaluations. Just treat what others say as bullshit."
"For example, in my eyes, Director Liang, this isn't a shortcoming, but an advantage."
It’s good not to touch people.
There is no need to worry about domestic violence, no need for sexual intercourse, cough cough cough, she doesn't even have to have children.
Liang Qiurun had never met a person like Jiang Meishu. Even the biggest shortcomings could become advantages in her mouth.
His eyes, as black as ink, stared at her, with an indissoluble obscurity in them. "Comrade Jiang, since you don't mind."
"Then I'll talk about the last one in the three chapters of Yuefa."
Jiang Meishu's face got hot under his gaze, and she twirled her fingers awkwardly, "Just what you say."
"Liang Rui is a bad student and a rebellious one. You should discipline him when I'm not home."
Jiang Meishu, "?"
If you want to take care of your children, here comes the opportunity for viciousness.
This is not how you take care of your children.
This is her big money-making treasure.
So, Jiang Meishu agreed without hesitation, "No problem, Director Liang, after you go on your business trip, I will take care of Liang Rui."
With these words.
Liang Qiurun was completely relieved. He stood up and shook hands with Jiang Meishu. Only after he extended his hand did he realize his mistake.
Just about to take it back.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Meishu put her hand into her sleeve and touched the back of his hand through her clothes with her clenched fist.
"is that so?"
She blinked, with a hint of cunning and understanding.
It also immediately resolved Liang Qiurun's embarrassment.
Liang Qiurun was somewhat surprised at Jiang Meishu's cleverness. He nodded and found that he did not have any adverse reaction to the touch through the clothes.
"Thanks."
Jiang Meishu pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "I want to thank you."
She said seriously, "This is the most sumptuous meal I have ever had."
It was also the most filling and best meal she had had since she came here.
Liang Qiurun, "So this is considered a successful blind date?"
At least so far, he is very satisfied with Jiang Meishu.
Similarly, his shortcomings are acceptable to Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu, "Of course the blind date was successful."
She was very satisfied with Liang Qiurun.
"Is it convenient for me to come to your house?"
Liang Qiurun obviously wanted to solve the problem in one go.
Jiang Meishu nodded, "But, I want to talk to my parents first?"
Of course the most important thing is her father, who is still in the hospital, so it is not convenient even for her to visit him.
Liang Qiurun said, "Okay."
"Once you confirm the time, you can tell me anytime."
Jiang Meishu nodded, and when she was about to leave, she looked down at the big meat buns on the table. There were six in total, and she had eaten two.
There are four left.
In other words, Liang Qiurun didn't move a single one.
Liang Qiurun noticed something and called the waiter over. "Please get me a brown paper bag, thank you."
The waiters in state-owned restaurants are so arrogant. They usually look down on others, but for some reason they can't bring themselves to refuse Liang Qiurun's invitation.
After taking two brown paper bags and handing them to the other party.
The waitress thought she must have seen a ghost, otherwise, under normal circumstances, she would definitely say something.
Wait until the waiter leaves.
Liang Qiurun did not hand the bag to Jiang Meishu, but instead handed over the big meat buns and the roast duck that had only been touched a little.
Jiang Meishu thought he was going to pack it up and take it back. She felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start the conversation.
As a result, she saw Liang Qiurun and handed her the packed brown paper bag.
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised, "Packed it for me?"
Liang Qiurun nodded, "Of course."
"It's just that these have been touched. Do you want me to pack you an untouched roast duck?"
But it’s a bit late now, I don’t know if it’s still available.
Jiang Meishu said quickly, "No, no, this is enough."
Liang Qiurun didn't touch either the meat buns or the roast duck, she ate them all by herself.
What's left over?
It doesn't count at all.
Liang Qiurun thought for a moment and said, "I'll come back earlier next time to buy it."
Jiang Meishu just thought he was being polite, but she didn't know that what Liang Qiurun said was true.
Coming out of the state-owned restaurant, the weather in November was a little chilly, and the cool wind blew towards me.
However, Jiang Meishu was fine. After eating a bowl of hot wontons, she felt warm and not as cold as before.
but--
It was only when they came out that Liang Qiurun noticed that Jiang Meishu was dressed very simply. It was almost frosty, but she was still wearing a thin coat.
The bleak cold wind made her look even thinner and more fragile, with her legs hanging low.
It's the kind that makes you feel cold just by looking at it.
"Do you have time?"
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
"If we have time, I'll take you to buy a set of clothes."
Jiang Meishu subconsciously waved her hand, "No, no."
Liang Qiurun said gently, "Comrade Jiang, there's no need to be polite between us. Since the blind date was successful, this is what I should do."
"If you're not willing to accept even a piece of clothing, how can you expect to hand over your wages in the future?"
He lowered his eyebrows, had high brow bones, deep eye sockets, peach blossom eyes with fanned corners, and pupils as black as ink. No one could refuse him with such a serious look.
The same goes for Jiang Meishu.
She hesitated, "Will it be too expensive?"
How could a woman ask a man to buy clothes right after a successful blind date? This was the only time she had heard of it in her two lifetimes.
"Won't."
Liang Qiurun opened the car door and let her get in. Then he said to Secretary Chen, "Take me to Maoer Hutong."
Secretary Chen was stunned for a moment, "Leader, you have a meeting at 11:00 AM."
Director Zhu is still waiting.
Liang Qiurun glanced at him indifferently, and Secretary Chen immediately lowered his head. "I'll take you there now."
He actually forgot.
Between him and Director Liang, the other one is the dominant one.
Jiang Meishu opened her mouth, wanting to say that if Liang Qiurun was busy, then there was no need to take her shopping for clothes.
But Liang Qiurun seemed unable to listen.
It took more than 20 minutes to get from the State-owned Hotel to Maoer Hutong, even if you drove a car. It was already half past ten when you arrived at Maoer Hutong.
Obviously, it won’t be long before Liang Qiurun goes to the meeting.
Liang Qiurun didn't care about these things. He just led Jiang Meishu out of the car and drove straight to the entrance of the alley. He stopped and knocked on an old wooden door.
After a while, a white-haired old man came out. When he saw Liang Qiurun standing at the door, he was surprised and asked, "Qiurun, what brings you here?"
Obviously, very well-cooked.
"Uncle Lin." Liang Qiurun called him, "I brought my lover here to make a set of clothes."
It turned out that the place he brought Jiang Meishu to was actually an old tailor shop.
Uncle Lin looked behind Liang Qiurun in great surprise. "Your lover?"
"Qiu Run, are you married?"
As far as he knew, Liang Qiurun had no intention of getting married before.
Liang Qiurun shook his head and smiled, "Not yet. I just had a successful blind date with Comrade Jiang this morning and wanted to bring her here to make a set of clothes."
He turned sideways and just exposed Jiang Meishu.
When Jiang Meishu heard Liang Qiurun call her "lover", her face felt a little hot, but she still greeted Uncle Lin, "Hello."
She felt nervous about meeting a stranger.
Uncle Lin glanced at her curiously. She had picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. She was very pretty and seemed to have a gentle personality.
However, when he saw the clothes Jiang Meishu was wearing, Uncle Lin frowned slightly, perhaps understanding why Qiu Run was so anxious to bring her here to make clothes.
It was already November and the weather was a little chilly. He himself was wearing a thin quilted jacket, but the female comrade in front of him was still wearing a single layer of clothing.
Uncle Lin sighed slightly and said, "Come in."
"The only people who can come into my place are regular customers."
With the rise of supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, people outside buy their own fabrics and make their own clothes, so tailor shops are having a hard time.
Therefore, Uncle Lin’s tailor shop is closed during the day.
After entering the house, the courtyard wall blocked most of the wind, and Jiang Meishu felt a little warmer.
Inside was a large open space, with all kinds of fabrics hanging from the beams in the main hall.
Very exquisite.
This was the first time that Jiang Meishu had seen such a wide variety of fabrics other than in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.
He seemed to notice her surprise.
Liang Qiurun explained to her in a low voice, "Uncle Lin was a tailor before liberation, and he worked there for nearly forty years. Later, when the public and private sectors merged, even the directors of the textile and cloth factories made clothes for him in the early years, so he was able to get some materials."
It’s just that most people don’t know it.
No wonder.
Uncle Lin has so much fabric here.
Jiang Meishu suddenly realized that the other party was leaning against a big tree.
"Uncle Lin, Comrade Jiang is in a hurry to get dressed. Do you have any suitable ready-made T-shirts that would suit her?"
Liang Qiurun thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter what the style is, as long as it's warm."
The temperature has dropped, and Jiang Meishu's clothes are too thin. I need to make her a set of warm clothes so she doesn't catch a cold.
Uncle Lin thought, "I made a set for my daughter Lin Yu before, but she thought the style was not good enough and she liked to wear the blue work clothes in the factory, so this set of clothes was put aside."
"I'll get it out for you to see."
The most popular thing these days is the blue work clothes issued by the factory. Anyone who wears them out will be looked at with respect.
Uncle Lin was very quick. In just a moment, he took a set of clothes off the hanger.
The top is a bit similar in style to a big suit, but the color is more mature, a navy blue that is very resistant to dirt.
"When I made it, I put four ounces of cotton in it and rolled it flat, so you can't see it, but you can feel it."
Uncle Lin handed the suit to Jiang Meishu, "Can you feel it out?"
Jiang Meishu tried it and said, "I can really feel it out."
The fabric looks a bit hard, but it feels very soft in the hand.
"Comrade Jiang, if you don't mind, you can try it."
Jiang Meishu went to see Liang Qiurun.
Liang Qiurun nodded, "You can try it. It's not about the style, but about the warmth."
That’s true.
Jiang Meishu thought about it and realized it was indeed cold outside, so she didn't refuse and went behind the curtain to interview with her clothes.
When she was trying on clothes.
Liang Qiurun was talking to Uncle Lin, "I'll need Uncle Lin to measure her size later so I can make her a new set of clothes that fit her."
When Uncle Lin heard this, he was surprised for a moment, "Qiu Run, are you taking this to heart?"
Liang Qiurun smiled, his face calm, "No matter if I care about it or not, since she agreed to follow me, I should be responsible for her."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Meishu came out after changing her clothes.
A large navy blue suit with matching trousers.
It's like it was tailor-made for me. My 1.65-meter height just supports this suit, making me a natural clothes hanger.
In addition, her skin is as white as milk, which makes her very suitable for this dark color.
This dark-colored outfit not only did not suppress her, but instead added a touch of fresh and lively temperament.
"Comrade Jiang is extremely suitable for this suit."
"But the waist seems to be a little bigger."
"This child is too thin."
As soon as Uncle Lin finished speaking.
Liang Qiurun was still a little dazed. He seemed to have never seen Jiang Meishu dressed up. She had always been simple, either in school uniform or loose and baggy clothes.
Even though this dress doesn't fit her well, she still looks beautiful in it, with a slim waist, long limbs, fair skin, and picturesque features.
“It looks very nice.”
Liang Qiurun praised her.

"Is it warm?" Liang Qiurun asked her.
Jiang Meishu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes sparkling as she said, "It's very warm. My chest and back feel warm when I put it on."

This kind of cotton clothes is warm.
Liang Qiurun, "That's it."
"Uncle Lin, take her measurements and make her a suitable red dress."
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised at this. She waved her hand and said, "Comrade Liang, no need. This set of clothes is enough."
She and Liang Qiurun haven't gotten married yet, so why is she buying so many clothes?
Now is not like the later times, when every household was short of cloth coupons, and it was already a great thing to have a set of clothes to wear.
Didn’t you see that she and her sister were wearing the same clothes?
Liang Qiurun lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Comrade Jiang, you need two sets of clothes to change into."
"And..." He paused, his eyes clear, "I feel that marrying me is unfair to you, and I always want to make up for it in other ways."
"So, don't reject me, okay?"
