Jian Shu, who came in with a lot of bags, heard her enthusiastic voice and jokingly said, "Why, did you miss me?"
"Yes, I missed you."
"Didn't we just meet at noon? It's only been a few hours." Jian Shu said helplessly.
"No, no, no. As the saying goes, 'A day without seeing you feels like three years.' We haven't seen each other for an afternoon, doesn't that mean we haven't seen each other for a long time? I miss you so much!" Li Chunmei retorted reasonably.
"Okay, let me see you. It's not that you miss me, but that you're bored because no one is chatting with you." Jian Shu was not fooled by her sweet words and immediately exposed her lie.
She hasn't known her for so many days? When I wasn't familiar with her, I thought she was the type who liked to daydream. When I got to know her, I realized that she liked to daydream, but she was also a chatterbox.
If you don't chat with others for too long, it will be so uncomfortable that it will make you feel miserable.
This afternoon they all went their separate ways and no one was with her, so she must have been feeling suffocated this time.
"Hehe!" Li Chunmei was exposed without any embarrassment. "Since you have guessed it, why don't you come over and chat with me? I've been waiting for you for a while."
Jianshu was pulled by her to sit on the bed with a helpless look on his face, and listened to her talk about the interesting things that happened during her afternoon shopping.
Fortunately, Li Chunmei also has a talent for storytelling. A simple story can be particularly interesting when it comes out of her mouth.
Jianshu listened, nodded from time to time, said a few words, and sat on the bed to pack his things.
She had almost packed her things, but when she came back, a lot of things were forced into her, and she couldn't push them back no matter how hard she tried.
This makes Jianshu extremely helpless!
Every time I visit my acquaintances, no matter how many gifts I bring, I always come back with more. It feels less like visiting an elder and more like doing business, a sure win.
But asking her not to go? That was impossible; going empty-handed? That was even more impossible.
Over time, it has become a cycle, a cycle that cannot be escaped.
Gradually, Jianshu stopped struggling and simply chose to lie down.
However, Jian Shu, who already had a lot of experience, couldn't help but feel a headache when looking at the things in front of her. She really had too much luggage. Although she had thrown all the things she bought in the afternoon into the space, the clothes she bought in the morning had to be left out in the open and could only be taken back with her.
Adding all this to the mix, the size of her luggage was quite impressive.
However, her worries soon faded.
Because someone has more luggage than her!
"Sister Chunmei, you bought so many things this afternoon?"
Perhaps seeing Jianshu packing up, Li Chunmei also began to organize her afternoon spoils.
It was originally placed next to her bed, and Jianshu hadn't noticed it, but now that she picked it up, it became very obvious.
"Yes, Xiaoshu, take a look at this piece of red cloth. Does it look good? What do you think of the clothes made from it on my wedding day? I also got a piece of red cloth before, but it was too small, not enough to make a whole set of clothes. Luckily I found another piece today." Li Chunmei held a piece of red cloth and gestured back and forth in front of her chest, asking Jianshu for his opinion.
Jianshu reached out and took the red cloth from her hand, touched the material, and checked it again. He found that there was a small piece of cloth whose color was not blended properly, forming a clear contrast with the surrounding area. No wonder it became a processed product.
However, even though the color was uneven, people were scrambling for it just because of the scarcity of the red cloth. She could imagine the fierce competition Li Chunmei went through to buy this piece of red cloth.
"You have fair skin, so this color will definitely look good on you. But Sister Chunmei, you have to find a way to deal with this area. It would be best to embroider something on it to cover it up, otherwise it will look a bit conspicuous." Jianshu first praised her, then pointed to the uneven color and made a suggestion.
Although a little unevenness in the coloring is not a big deal for people of this era, perhaps because all brides want their weddings to be perfect, Li Chunmei listened carefully to Jianshu's advice.
"That's a good idea! Then I'll go find my aunt when I get back. She knows how to embroider."
Hearing this, Jianshu felt a little itchy. Embroidery! Who didn't imagine themselves as a child as a lady of noble birth, proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and needlework? Who didn't take out their mother's sewing box, secretly cut a piece of cloth, and pretend to do it with a raised finger?
Others may not know, but she has done it. She always thought she was a genius. Although she had never learned it, she was confident that she could do it!
But dreams are beautiful, in reality...
Let’s not mention it!
But even so, she still has a strong interest in the skills of ancient ladies. She always feels that whether it is playing the piano, playing chess, writing or painting, there is a unique beauty and special charm.
So when she heard that someone could embroider, she couldn't help but be excited.
However, considering various reasons, she still did not speak.
After deciding on the purpose of the red cloth, Li Chunmei took out her other spoils and showed them to Jianshu one by one. One by one, Jianshu felt numb.
Until, she took out a thermos.
"...No, why did you buy this too?"
I thought the locks, sheets, soap, needles and thread, enamel pots, etc. were already impressive enough, but I didn't expect her to even buy a thermos. She came all the way here, thousands of miles away to buy a thermos and bring it back, so she wasn't worried about it breaking on the way.
"Are you talking about this? I'm getting married soon. I haven't been able to buy a thermos for a long time, and I happened to come across one today. It doesn't even require a ticket, so I have to grab it back. If I weren't quick-handed, I wouldn't have been able to get it." Li Chunmei was very satisfied with her fighting ability. She got so many good things today and saved a lot of money.
Jian Shu's mouth twitched slightly, "So those things before were also preparations for the wedding?"
"Those, not all of them." Most of them were tasks assigned to her by her mother, and the others were preparations for her marriage.
I don’t know when I will come to Shanghai next time. If I don’t take this opportunity to prepare well, I will have to spend more money and tickets in the future.
Although she and her partner both had good jobs and decent salaries, they still had to budget carefully. Getting married and having children would be another big expense, and with retirement money added on, every penny had to be spent wisely.
Jianshu didn't know that Li Chunmei wasn't married yet, but he already started thinking about how to be frugal after marriage.
Seeing that she was taking out more and more things, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you take all these things back?"
Originally she thought she had a lot of stuff, but compared to Li Chunmei's, it was really dwarfed.
"It seems a bit too much..." Li Chunmei looked at all her things and frowned, but soon relaxed. "It's okay, I'll work harder and I'm sure I can bring it back."
She had to take them back even if she couldn't. Even if she had to drag them, she had to drag them back.
