Chapter 126 Love

After Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia left, Old Lady Jiang asked Lin Shu to accompany her to find Han Yun, and to tell Han Yun tactfully that she didn't like Han Xiaofen.

Who knew that when they went to the secretary's house, Han Yun took the initiative to say that Han Xiaofen couldn't come because of something.

She knew that Jiang Weidong wanted to pursue Lin Xia, so she called the chairman of the glass factory union who asked her to introduce the target, and said that there was a temporary situation here, so the matter was temporarily cancelled.

Old Lady Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she had taken a fancy to the person first, and now she came to say that it was not okay, so she would have to find fault with the person and say bad things about the person behind her back. If

the person didn't come, she would avoid embarrassment and embarrassment.

After chatting for a while, Han Yun smiled and said, "It's just that I have to find someone else to make clothes for me. I can only go to the tailor shop and queue up, but the girls are in a hurry to wear

them." Lin Shu saw a piece of pink material on the table, which was quite tender and fresh. It was obvious that the color was not something that could be woven in the local textile factory. It must have been brought from a big city, so she asked another question.

Knowing that Han Yun wanted to make a dress for her daughter, Lin Shu said, "Chairman Han, I also make clothes for others. If you don't mind, I can draw a dress for you. If you like it, I will help you make it."

Han Yun looked at her in surprise, "Lin Shu can also make clothes?"

Old Mrs. Jiang: "This daughter can do it. If she says she can do it, she must be very good at it."

Lin Shu said modestly, "I can do it. I don't need to go to the fields at home. I just cook and sew every day. I think more about it in my daily life."

She didn't want Han Yun to have any grudges against Old Mrs. Jiang because of the failure of Han Xiaofen's matter, so she took the initiative to help make clothes.

Han Yun was curious and took a pen and paper.

Lin Shu immediately drew a sketch of the skirt. This style is in line with the current style and has a unique style.

Miss Han Yun is 17 years old this year. She has a baby face, fair skin, and looks cute and well-behaved.

Lin Shu designed a small round collar with a little ruffle to highlight her gentle and lovely temperament.

Han Yun fell in love with it at first sight, "It looks so good! Just like this! Can you really make this effect?"

Lin Shu: "It's almost the same."

Han Yun immediately took the fabric, wooden ruler, scissors, etc. and asked Lin Shu to cut them on the spot.

Han Yun likes to make clothes very much. She has all the tools such as sewing machines and cutting scissors at home. Her ideal is to make beautiful clothes for herself, her husband and children.

Unfortunately, the lady has only accepted one nightgown so far, and the hem of that nightgown is still hanging, one side is high and the other side is low, and one side is pulled out.

All other clothes need to be made by someone else, and she really can't make them.

The craftsmanship is too poor.

She can't make clothes, but she fantasizes that she is a master of sewing, so she has a natural liking for people who can make clothes, so she thinks Han Xiaofen is good.

Now it seems that Lin Shu is even better at making clothes, and the guess about Lin Shu last night immediately flew to Java.

Old Mrs. Jiang is honored!

Lin Shu turned the fabric over and used a wooden ruler to draw the size.

Han Yun measured the size of each part for the lady, and it was very standard.

Lin Shu marked the key parts and then cut the fabric with a click.

When she cut the fabric, her movements were crisp and decisive, without any hesitation or stumbling, which made Han Yun and Old Lady Jiang hold their breath.

The two followed her gestures and watched along with the sound of snapping.

How come she felt so good?

Lin Shu arranged the fabric properly when drawing it, and didn't waste anything, so Han Yun actually had more than a foot of fabric left, which was enough to make a skirt.

Han Yun: "Wow, an expert can tell whether it's good or not with just one move. Some people waste at least half a foot of fabric when making clothes."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "It's not a waste, it's the leftovers."

Tailors try their best to get some fabric from customers.

She was too lazy to calculate. She had already asked for the labor fee, so she didn't want the scraps of cloth. As long as

people wanted to take it back, she would give them back even the scraps that could only be used to make a jacket. Who knows, people might want to make a jacket after taking it back?

But most people would leave it to her, and unless it was a large piece, they would not be so stingy about taking it back.

Han Yun had a sewing machine at home, and after cutting, Lin Shu made it on the spot.

Han Yun was very excited and treated Lin Shu with tea, cakes and candies.

If Lin Shu hadn't refused, she would have given Lin Shu and Old Lady Jiang the ginseng wine that the old secretary had brewed.

Old Mrs. Jiang showed off to Han Yun: "Don't look at me as if I don't have a concubine. I now have two goddaughters. One is tall and handsome, an electrician and a model worker. The other can make clothes and cook, and is the most beautiful military wife and a model worker..."

Han Yun looked a little strange, and looked at Old Mrs. Jiang, "Sister-in-law, you said Lin Xia is your goddaughter?"

Old Mrs. Jiang straightened her back, "Yes, it's true!" She smiled at Lin Shu, "Right, concubine?"

Lin Shu nodded, "Yes."

Han Yun's expression became even weirder.

So Jiang Weidong came to Secretary Li last night to report that he wanted to pursue Lin Xia, but he didn't tell his mother?

This is... interesting.

She couldn't help but smile, but didn't say anything, waiting to see Jiang Weidong laugh.

If this is a formal ceremony of worshipping a godmother, it would be even more interesting to have a banquet and entertain guests.

Soon she was attracted by Lin Shu and continued to watch the making of clothes.

It is really easy to learn. It is a real pleasure to watch Lin Shu operate the sewing machine. She works smoothly without any sluggishness.

It was almost noon, and Han Yun did not cook. She asked Lin Shu to continue working while she took the rice bowl to the canteen to get food.

After dinner, Lin Shu finished the skirt in the afternoon after two hours of work.

The next step is to manually hem, button, and buttonhole.

The home sewing machine does not have the function of overlocking, so all the finishing is done by hand.

After finishing, Han Yun insisted on giving Lin Shu two yuan.

Lin Shu naturally refused, "Giving money is too polite."

Although Mrs. Jiang wanted Lin Shu to make money, she saw that she didn't want it, so she helped her and said, "Yes, what's the relationship between us? It's not right to ask you for money. Xiaoru's clothes are better than anything else."

Seeing that Lin Shu refused to take the money, Han Yun had no choice but to give up.

After Lin Shu and Old Lady Jiang left, Han Yun's daughter Li Xiaoru came home soon.

She was stunned when she saw the skirt hanging in the room. She jumped up excitedly despite her usually quiet and reserved personality. She held the skirt and gestured to her body, "Mom, Mom! Which tailor made this? It's so beautiful!"

If she wore this skirt to perform in the art troupe, she would definitely get a job on the spot!

She was confident!

She put on the skirt immediately and it fit her perfectly.

She ran out to show Han Yun, "Mom, look!"

Han Yun was kneading dough. She couldn't get rid of her hands just now, but this time she rubbed her hands with dry flour and exclaimed at the lady wearing the skirt. It's

so beautiful!

The pink skirt made the lady look even more fair and tender. The skirt was not just a plain pink color. There was a finger-wide light green ruffle on the cuffs, an invisible zipper on the side, and a two-finger-wide light green belt around the waist. The hem was flowing and agile, and ripples appeared with the steps, which made people's eyes and hearts soften .

The back of the skirt had a small opening, buttons made of light green fabric, and pink transparent buttons. Even the stitching of the buttons was not common, but the same as embroidery stitching.

It looked like a flower stamen.

Li Xiaoru liked it very much and asked Han Yun who made it.

"Mom, my cousin wants to make a new skirt too. She will be so jealous when she sees mine. Tell me quickly and let her make one."

Han Yun teased her, "If your cousin also makes a new skirt, she will wear it and go to the art troupe with you. What if she stays and you can't?"

Li Xiaoru: "That's her ability. But I play the pipa much better than her, and she sings better than me. We will each have to rely on our abilities."

Han Yun laughed, "Yes, that's it."

She said it was made by Lin Xia's third sister, Lin Shu.

Li Xiaoru was still a little puzzled, "Master Lin's sister?"

In her impression, Lin Xia was carefree and didn't look like someone who could make clothes.

Although Lin Shu had come several times, she had never seen him. The main reason was that the girl did not like to socialize with married women. They had no common topics. Moreover, she was studying music and wanted to work in a cultural troupe or a drama troupe, so she did not like to interact with housewives.

Now that she saw that Lin Shu had made such a good skirt, she said, "Mom, you are right. Everyone has their own skills."

She asked how much it cost and she would introduce her friends to Lin Shu to make skirts for them.

Han Yun said bluntly: "It's not easy to make. Look at the zipper. Many seams are not so smooth and invisible. It can't be seen from the outside. It costs at least 2.2 yuan for this kind of workmanship."

Li Xiaoru didn't understand, but nodded, "Yes."

Although it was already evening, she didn't want to eat at home. She wore the new dress to her grandmother's house to show it to her cousins.

Lin Shu and Mrs. Jiang cooked at home. She would go home tomorrow, and her second sister would also go to Qing County.

Then her second sister could often go to her house for dinner.

It was dark, and Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia hadn't returned yet. Old Lady Jiang started to complain, "You're becoming more and more unreliable. It takes so much effort to get things done."

Lin Shu knew that the old lady was angry because Jiang Weidong had not married for many years. He was already notorious in her eyes. Even if he was successful in his career, it didn't matter.

She smiled and said, "Godmother, let's eat first. It's not cold anymore. Leave it for them."

Jiang Weidong and Lin Xia were talking at the moment.

Lin Xia put the tools needed for going to the countryside, as well as the charcoal stove and charcoal, on the unit truck today and would go to the countryside with the truck tomorrow.

She could have gone home earlier, but thinking that Jiang Weidong wanted to tell her specifically that she would wait at the unit.

She didn't think much when she was busy, but when she had time, she started to wonder: What does Director Jiang mean? Is he pursuing me? When did it happen? Why didn't I know? ! ! !

Isn't it because Auntie asked him to that he treats me so well?

He is a good man, but are they... not suitable for each other?

After all, they are both from the steel rolling factory. If they get together, won't the Qian family be furious?

No, who cares about the Qian family? Who are the bosses?

Third sister said, who are other people? Don't care about them, just consider whether you are happy or not.

Are you happy or not?

Not to mention that Jiang Weidong has a good temper, a good image, and a good job, just the fact that his mother-in-law is a plus.

But... the better they are, the more Lin Xia is a little afraid.

If they are always friends, Auntie will always be a good Auntie, and Director Jiang will always be a good Director.

If they get together and later break up, then the aunt will be gone, and so will the factory director Jiang who has been protecting her.

She always felt that the gain was not worth the loss.

or? It's better to go home and ask Third Sister.

Just when Jiang Weidong was thinking wildly, he came back from Huang County and explained to her when they met, "The Huang County Textile Factory has a batch of dyed cloth and a lot of yarn that need to be disposed of. I thought it might be useful to Comrade Lin Shu, so I bought some more."

Having this was enough for the old lady to be happy, and she would not complain about his lack of interest in her friends.

Passing by the People's Park on the way home, Jiang Weidong said: "Lin Xia, can we go for a walk?"

Lin Xia took a look and wondered why he passed by the People's Park this time since he didn't have to go to the People's Park before.

She nodded, "Let's go." She

was very open and not shy at all.

Jiang Weidong explained why he wanted to pursue her. He had always admired her. He had no idea when she was someone else's wife before, but now that she was a single young woman, he had more ideas. He wanted to be a revolutionary partner with her.

"I know you don't have much confidence in marriage and you are still resisting others from approaching you. I just hope you will give me a chance to pursue you." When

someone introduced someone to Lin Xia, she directly said that she didn't want to get married again.

Jiang Weidong heard it all.

He continued, "If you don't mind my approach, let's continue. If you feel that I bring you pressure, then we can keep a little distance. If you are very determined and decisive that you don't want me to get close to you, and you can't accept that I may become your husband in the future, then I... will continue to return to my identity as Director Jiang."

Lin Xia found this a bit strange, as she had never heard such a point of view before.

She felt that Jiang Weidong should have a lot in common with the third sister.

Everything they said was very fresh.

He looked at her very seriously and attentively, afraid to miss the slightest expression on her face.

Favor may come from the first impression, but admiration definitely comes from the understanding and appreciation of her, as well as heartache.

During the time when she went to the countryside, several colleagues took sick leave one after another, and she was always at the forefront due to the shortage of manpower, and was more capable of handling things than men.

She did not take leave even when she was not feeling well, and one day she suddenly developed acute gastroenteritis, and her face changed color due to the pain. If he had not happened to turn around to check on her, she might have fainted in the wild.

On the way to send her to the hospital, Jiang Weidong felt very sorry for her, and he had an impulse to take care of her.

He had not told anyone that he had seen her when he had just changed his job.

At that time, she was wearing simple clothes, but she had a pair of dark and bright eyes that could speak. A woman laughed at her for being from the countryside, but she retorted sharply, "What's wrong with being from the countryside? How can there be cities without the countryside? The revolution was won by the countryside surrounding the cities."

After that, she walked away with a brisk step.

He was attracted to her at first sight and remembered her.

He was attracted to her and secretly asked whose daughter she was, but he never thought that she was Qian Lisheng's wife.

He was really disappointed at the time.

But since she was someone else's wife, he naturally didn't have any more thoughts and turned around to devote himself to work.

He originally thought she was just a worker's family member, but she soon stood out and passed the examination to become an electrician in the factory!

When he saw her in the office, Jiang Weidong felt that she was glowing with confidence and fighting spirit.

He was happy for her, and he admired her more and more, and subconsciously helped her more.

At that time, he had a clear conscience. She was a very good employee, and he should protect her.

His appreciation was not mixed with selfishness, let alone desire.

When she divorced, he was a little conflicted. He wanted to help her, but he was afraid that his attitude would bring her misunderstanding or trouble, and cause criticism, so he needed to keep a distance.

However, his feelings grew during their time together after her divorce, and he couldn't suppress them at all.

Especially when he saw that she was excluded and sick because of her excellence, he felt more and more distressed for her and wanted to protect her.

Originally, he wanted to take it slowly, approach her quietly, let her get used to his presence, and then he could talk to her about being together at the end of the year or next year. He

admired her and would never become a stumbling block to her career advancement. His mother also loved her and would never create obstacles between her and her marriage.

All he needed was her nod.

He was even reluctant to put pressure on her. If there wasn't a guy from the power supply bureau chasing her and a woman chasing her to introduce her to someone, he really didn't want to confess so early.

It was too hasty, and he wasn't ready.

He was a little nervous subconsciously, and his voice was involuntarily tense, "Lin Xia, is it okay?"

Lin Xia turned her head and looked around, and whispered: "Director Jiang, you say... if we do this, will people say... that?"

Everyone is introduced to the target by a matchmaker. If you find out about the other person's conditions and think they are okay, you will meet them. If the first impression is good, you will look around and then get married.

No one pursues like Jiang Weidong said. How long does it take to pursue?

If she doesn't like it, can she continue to keep a distance and return to the past state?

Jiang Weidong smiled and said, "Others can say whatever they want, as long as you like it. If you agree, then what we said today will take effect, and I will pursue you until you are willing to marry me."

Lin Xia said mischievously, "What if I don't want to marry you in the end?"

Or what if I want to marry someone else?

When she was a child, her mother said that she was an undisciplined girl who used to talk back.

Jiang Weidong's eyes were deep, and then he smiled, "You always have the right to choose."

What he was embarrassed to say was that my pursuit will not end when you marry me, it will go deeper, but it will end because you choose someone else, and it will not cause you trouble.

Hearing him say that he always has the right to choose, Lin Xia felt very relaxed and without pressure.

She nodded, "Okay."

He is so good and so excellent, why can't she?

She also wanted to experience the feeling of being pursued by an excellent man.

Sanmei was right. She was just disappointed with Qian Lisheng and afraid of the unknown marriage, not resisting all men, let alone afraid of getting married.

If it was someone she knew well enough and he treated her well enough, she would not be afraid.

She felt that Jiang Weidong was a man of integrity. If he were in Qian Lisheng's situation, he would definitely not hide it from his wife, would not use cold violence against his wife, and would not let his mother control his wife.

People are different.

Jiang Weidong did not expect to communicate so smoothly with Lin Xia. He was originally worried that she had opinions about him and felt that he had other intentions in taking care of her before, and was afraid that she would misunderstand him. Unexpectedly,

she did not say anything at all, but said very happily that she could give it a try.

He was in a better mood.

On the way back, Lin Xia said, "Director Jiang..." Facing Jiang Weidong's smiling eyes, she cleared her throat and changed her words, "Brother Jiang..." He was seven years older than her, and it didn't feel good to call him by his name, and she couldn't say it out loud.

Jiang Weidong: "What do you want to say?"

Lin Xia: "Whether we succeed or not, it can't affect the relationship between us sisters and Aunt. So let's not tell Aunt yet, and tell her after it succeeds."

Lest Aunt be upset if it fails.

Jiang Weidong: "..."

So I have to be sneaky when pursuing a wife.

"Then how do you want to hide it from her?"

He didn't guarantee that he could hide it from Aunt, because the way he looked at her now was completely different from before, and he would subconsciously talk about her and care about her. If he talked too much, Aunt would know it.

Lin Xia: "Just... don't be too obvious in front of Aunt."

Jiang Weidong: "Then I'll try my best."

Jiang Weidong drove the car directly to the door of his house because there was a bag of fabric inside, which was very heavy.

Old Mrs. Jiang didn't know what to do, "You said you were going to buy fabric, so why don't you send Lin Xia back first? Why did you drag her to go there?" She

really doesn't know how to do things.

However, Lin Shu clearly felt that the relationship between her second sister and Jiang Weidong was different.

Before, it was Jiang Weidong who was different, and now it's her second sister who is different.

Not to mention anything else, their eyes are different, especially when they look at each other.

She glanced at her second sister.

Lin Xia held her hand and smiled.

Lin Shu understood.

Lin Shu and Old Mrs. Jiang had already finished dinner, so she cleaned up for the two of them.

Old Mrs. Jiang put all the delicious food in front of Lin Xia, including half a plate of spinach and pork liver, and a plate of cabbage and salted meat.

Seeing that both plates of food were in front of her and Jiang Weidong had only one plate of steamed buns, Lin Xia pushed the food to the middle.

Old Mrs. Jiang: "Lin Xia, you are going to the countryside tomorrow, and it will be hard, so eat more."

She took out another twenty yuan and gave it to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia: "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Old Mrs. Jiang: "You are my daughter, it is your duty to live here and eat, why do you have to give me food expenses? No."

Lin Xia insisted on giving Old Mrs. Jiang food expenses, and Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't get away with it so she took less.

But Lin Xia said that her sister often came to the city and lived here, so she should give more.

Jiang Weidong felt a little depressed when he heard his mother calling him a daughter, and then he saw Lin Shu smiling meaningfully beside him.

He suddenly felt that he had overdosed his job.

If he had known that Lin Xia was so easy to communicate with, would she have agreed to his proposal of marriage?

If they were to get married, this wouldn't be necessary.

After dinner, Jiang Weidong didn't rush to the dormitory like he usually did, but stayed at home for a while longer.

Old Mrs. Jiang had an opinion, "Why don't you leave after dinner? Don't disturb us women."
