Men and women eating in the courtyard

"You reminded me of this."

Li Guangnian was standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking at Li Xuewu and Gu Ning who walked in the door.

The surprise and fear in Gu Ning's eyes actually made Li Guangnian raise his eyebrows.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this. He pretended to look at the coffins in the shed and said, "You are not very well prepared for your death. I happen to have a few pairs of longevity materials made of good materials, and the color is also very good. Do you want to think about it?"

Li Guangnian has become accustomed to Li Xuewu's disrespectful speaking style. He will not believe that Li Xuewu really has any longevity materials in his hands.

Because no one would believe that a deputy division cadre would engage in the business of selling coffins, unless he was a fool.

The old man was obviously not a fool, and he was not angry with Li Xuewu for deceiving him as a fool.

This young man is the deputy director, but Li Xuewu is not here in this capacity today, nor is he here to handle official business.

Li Xuewu is an ordinary twenty-year-old young man with a bad mouth who is common in the 49 cities.

So he didn't think anything of it, because he was very accustomed to this way of speaking. This was the most common way of speaking among young and old men in the 49th City.

This is so painful that I can’t even talk a few words!

Of course, those who are particular are not included here.

A social gangster like Li Xuewu certainly knows what to say to whom. This old man is an old Beijing J who has seen the world but has little education.

You have to tell him that the refined ones will kill him, let alone the poor and elegant ones, because this old man must have seen more than you.

He may not be able to explain the truth behind this, but he knows that what you say means nothing to him.

Just like when an expert appraised a painting, no matter how it was judged, it was true, but Aunt Pu was stunned and said it was fake.

Experts asked how you knew it was fake?

Aunt Pu said this is from our family! I'm tired of watching it every day, and I still don't know if it's true or false?

Of course, the original words are definitely not like this, it may be more damaging than this.

Therefore, Li Xuewu would never pretend to know so much in front of these old people. That would only make these old people see him playing tricks, and despise himself for being childish and ridiculous in his heart.

He would only tease those old people about the things they knew and cared about, and he would seize the lifeblood of these old people and beat them hard.

However, this kind of operation will make these old people pay attention to him, annoy him, and like him.

Gu Ning watched Li Xuewu bickering with this strangely dressed old man, and unknowingly thought of what Zhou Yamei said at home.

He always has a way of making others like him.

The reason why Gu Ning said that the old man was dressed strangely was because Li Guangnian was wearing the shroud he had prepared for himself.

Anyone who sees a walking old guy wearing a shroud will feel weird.

Just when Li Xuewu was about to comment on his clothes, Li Guangnian had lost his patience.

"Okay okay"

Li Guangnian waved his hand and said to Li Xuewu in a resigned tone: "I know, you are successful, you are good, and you have such a good wife, there is no need to show off to me."

This is why Li Xuewu is mean to these old men. They can always find the right position to hit you hard.

Li Xuewu now calmly pointed to the old man's clothes and asked, "Aren't you going to change? It's time to cover up the prickly heat soon."

The old man nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of prickly heat. I'm afraid of heat stroke."

As he led Li Xuewu toward the courtyard, he muttered, "I know you won't save me."

"You are thinking too much"

Li Xuewu looked like you had guessed it, smiled at Gu Ning, and followed him towards the courtyard.

Gu Ning didn't look scared now that Li Xuewu was by her side, but she still followed Li Xuewu's footsteps into the yard.

The old man took Li Xuewu and the two of them into the living room of the main room, pointed to the armchair and said: "Sit down first."

After saying that, he ignored Li Xuewu and the others and went straight to the back room.

Different from the door design of ordinary people's houses, the door of the old man's house is set in the inner position, which makes it appear more secretive.

Li Xuewu looked at the furnishings in the room. They were very simple, but not simple at the same time.

It's simple because there aren't many things in the house, including not a single fashionable item such as a radio. There are only tables, chairs, benches, and a small table with vases.

It's not that simple, but the placement of these things is very particular, showing the folk cultural heritage of the host's family.

Maybe it’s the simple but not simple meaning mentioned in later generations of advertisements.

The room was not as lifeless as Li Xuewu imagined. Instead, it was made very demure by the green plants on the small table.

This is somewhat inconsistent with Mr. Li's temperament.

There is no slovenliness, no smell unique to the elderly, and no lonely and decadent style.

After Gu Ning entered the house and sat next to Li Xuewu, her mood calmed down. Seeing the old man and the situation in the house, she no longer seemed nervous when she thought about the coffin in the yard.

This is a kind of helplessness of old age and a kind of lonely stubbornness.

She felt that this old man must not have made clear arrangements for his death as Li Xuewu said.

All this old man wanted was that people coming from the street would not drag him out and burn him, so that he could prepare his own escape route and reduce other people's troubles.

"How many times should I do?"

The old man changed into a robe and gown in the back room and came out. Without the revealing clothes, he looked somewhat energetic now.

"I don't recommend you order a coffin bearer now."

Li Xuewu looked at the old man's vitality and said with a smile: "I doubt they will survive you."

"It's okay, I will definitely find you when the time comes."

The old man also had a bad mouth, secretly saying that Li Xuewu was very good at raising arguments.

Li Xuewu smiled, nodded carelessly, and then said: "Although you think my question is nonsense, I still want to ask you, what kind of clothes do you have, or what kind of clothes do you suggest we should do?" .

"understood"

The old man nodded, indicating that he understood what Li Xuewu meant.

"If it's a wedding, in the summer, um..."

The old man thought for a while and said: "For such a formal occasion, you must start with the shirt."

After saying this, the old man turned to look at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is it inappropriate for me to discuss with you the twelve collar types of shirts?"

Li Xuewu looked at the old man who looked down on him in the professional field speechlessly, and asked: "Is it like me discussing with you how to shoot an old man to prevent him from farting immediately?"

The old man looked at Li Xuewu in shock, then looked at Gu Ning and said, "So it would be more appropriate for me to discuss it with you. What should I call the girl?"

Gu Ning looked at the expressionless Li Xuewu and couldn't help but squint her eyes. Now she wanted to discuss with Li Xuewu how to use a scalpel to stab an expressionless fiancé who was actually pretending to hide her knowledge of tailoring. Let him die.

"Hello, my name is Gu Ning"

Gu Ning nodded and said calmly: "My knowledge of tailoring is limited to seeing my mother mending clothes with needle and thread, but I have never done it myself."

The old man nodded, thought for a moment, then turned to Li Xuewu and said, "You two are a perfect match."

"Thank you!"

Li Xuewu stood up and tried the thermos bottle. Since the old man didn't know how to treat guests, he couldn't treat himself badly.

The old man pointed to the drawer under the tea cabinet and said, "There are tea leaves there. Make me a cup."

Li Xuewu turned to look at the rude old man, and saw that he had already started discussing with Gu Ning, so he consciously rummaged for tea leaves.

After he made the tea and brought it over, the old man had already used the paper and pen he brought to draw a sketch for Gu Ning.

To be honest, women are indeed talented in mastering the skill of tailoring, but this does not include Gu Ning.

The old man also discovered this after talking for a while, so he changed his mind and drew clothes that could be made and suitable for Li Xuewu, and let Gu Ning and Li Xuewu choose.

Gu Ning's clothes were all bought in stores, so naturally they didn't fit that well, and there weren't many styles to choose from.

Now a tailor drew a sketch for them to choose from, which made Gu Ning a little spoiled for choice.

Tailoring is definitely not a simple profession, nor is it a skill that everyone can master.

Otherwise, there would be no aristocratic families in Paris, and the Champs Elysées would just be an ordinary street full of filth.

Although Li Xuewu has no talent for fashion design, he has a vision beyond this era.

During the discussion, he was the main force talking and deciding with the old man.

In the end, he decided on clothes including shirts, jackets, tunic suits, etc., while Gu Ning's clothes included women's shirts, jackets, skirts, etc.

The old man followed the tailor's rules at this time and asked Li Xuewu if he would prepare the materials for his own clothes or if he would purchase them collectively.

Of course, the old man also explained first that it is difficult to buy fabrics now, and he does not have an employer, so his purchasing ability is limited.

Li Xuewu looked at the old man and asked what kind of fabrics were needed, including designs, colors, etc.

Finally, it was decided that Li Xuewu would provide his own fabric.

Gu Ning didn't think there was anything that bothered her about having Li Xuewu decide this kind of thing, and she didn't think there was anything to argue with Li Xuewu about the fabric and money.

However, the feeling of professionally customized clothing is indeed much more comfortable than buying it in a clothing store.

Of course, what she didn't know was that ordinary tailors would not invite her to patiently introduce styles to her or give her suggestions while drinking tea.

Old Man Li stopped making clothes for outsiders a long time ago, and he didn't even bother to make his own clothes.

This time it was because he wanted to repay Li Xuewu's favor, although neither Li Xuewu nor Li Guangnian mentioned this.

However, Li Guangnian would not be so stupid as to think that he was lucky enough to avoid the danger of having those precious clothes confiscated.

Not to mention that Li Xuewu was such a noble person and took the initiative to help him avoid being humiliated at such an old age.

Therefore, when Li Xuewu asked him to make clothes, Li Guangnian did not refuse, let alone said that he had retired from the world.

Because Li Xuewu didn't care if he retired, nor did he care about his old antiques, nor did he care about his identity and his actions that seemed to be a waste of money by his neighbors.

Equal respect is the default basis for exchange between two people.

Li Xuewu helped him solve the dilemma. He helped Li Xuewu make clothes and did his best.

After agreeing on a time to deliver the cloth, Li Xuewu took Gu Ning and left this small courtyard that looked decadent from the outside but was actually very clean inside.

"You are really good at touching."

After Gu Ning got in the car, she couldn't help but praise Li Xuewu.

Of course, this kind of praise still carries Gu Ning's ridicule towards Li Xuewu's social gangster.

Li Xuewu was very pleased with Gu Ning's tone. At least he could tell that Gu Ning's personality was changing because of him.

What initially didn't like Gu Ning was that he didn't want to cause trouble, let alone endure an ice cube while causing trouble.

You are so awesome, how can you let others bully you?

Of course, after taking that shot, he knew that he was still a human being, not a god.

So after feeling his mother-in-law's special concern and the way Gu Ning secretly looked at him outside the ward door, he decided to experience the love he had developed.

Li Xuewu was ready for a protracted war, but Gu Ning was not a stubborn character, let alone the inherent thinking of this era.

It can be said that Gu Ning can understand most of his jokes and his thinking mode.

Li Xuewu would rather believe that the two have similar auras than be thought of as having the same illness.

"This is nothing"

As Li Xuewu drove home, he looked at his watch and saw that it was already dinner time. If he missed the time, he would probably be blamed.

"I also know a cobbler. You don't need to try on the shoes. I know the shoe size and foot size."

Gu Ning squinted her eyes and looked at Li Xuewu without any intention of thanking Li Xuewu.

Because she thought of the bad guy touching her feet when she was in Steel City.

Although she was criticizing Li Xuewu in her heart, Gu Ning didn't realize that many of her actions and language were gradually becoming more consistent with Li Xuewu's.

Like squinting your eyes and raising your eyebrows.

She would never do such a frivolous move before, but now she will do it when she is with Li Xuewu.

However, this "unbridledness" was probably only when she was with Li Xuewu. At home and at work, she was still the ice beauty who was accustomed to being calm.

"Why did you come back~"

Just when Li Xuewu parked his car at the entrance of the hospital, Liu Yin, who couldn't help but come out to check, still complained.

"Going to order clothes"

Gu Ning was probably in a much better mood and took the initiative to explain to her future mother-in-law, thus saving Li Xuewu from being scolded by his mother before the meal.

Liu Yin naturally would not blame Gu Ning. She nodded with satisfaction after hearing this explanation, but then she frowned and nodded when she looked at her son.

Li Xuewu twisted his mouth and did not explain or complain. In this situation, he had the least status.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law was still thinking about him. When she saw Li Xuewu coming in, she asked, "Has everything been settled?"

"yes"

Li Xuewu took the initiative to report on the process of visiting Zhang Shuting and Yu Huaiyou, and also briefly talked about going to order clothes with Gu Ning.

What Ding Fengxia is most satisfied with is Li Xuewu's calmness and ability. He doesn't need her daughter to worry about anything and handles everything in an orderly manner.

Although what I told Liu Yin was not to spoil Gu Ning and let Liu Yin, her mother-in-law, discipline her.

But his daughter hurts herself, so how could she let Gu Ning suffer here.

If Gu Haitao hadn't denied it, she would have arranged for the chef and waiter at home to be here.

Li Xuewu naturally understood a mother's love, so he appeared to be very patient with Ding Fengxia's inquiries.

Ding Fengxia also liked this uncle. While urging Li Xuewu to wash up, she asked about the details of clothes and other matters.

When Liu Yin and the old lady saw their relatives handing towels to Li Xuewu and Gu Ning after washing up, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

All this was seen by Mu Hongyan. She had ignored Li Xuewu today and even scolded Li Xuewu in her heart.

He even felt that it was not worthwhile for his lover to give the clothes to Li Xuewu. This bad guy failed to live up to the kindness of the Gu family to him.

But she felt a little awkward at the moment, because her mother-in-law was nice to Li Xuewu. After all, she was obsessed with Li Xuewu.

But why is Gu Ning so different from yesterday?

It wasn't that she thought her sister-in-law should be sad and sad all the time, but she was still in that state yesterday, but today she was able to get along with Li Xuewu's family with a smile.

This not only reminded her of herself, but also how she faced her husband's family back then.

It must be the case. My sister-in-law must have been bullied by Li Xuewu. She had no choice but to endure the pain and pretend to be calm.

The more he felt this way, the more hateful Mu Hongyan looked at Li Xuewu.

But now she is not the protagonist today, nor is she Gu Ning's elder. With her mother-in-law here, there is no reason for her to take charge.

So Mu Hongyan decided not to say anything, just like her sister-in-law said, she would solve her own problems.

But there must be a limit.

After Li Xuewu knew why Mu Hongyan was angry with him, he stopped provoking his sister-in-law, so the next dinner party did not touch Mu Hongyan's limit.

Because Liu Yin prepared meat fillings, the staple food was dumplings.

Zhou Yamei had already made arrangements, so in addition to dumplings, there were also chives and eggs, stir-fried dried lentils, cold shredded potatoes, braised carp, stewed tofu, and stir-fried meat with mushrooms.

Fortunately, the table in the restaurant was big enough, so everyone was able to sit down after squeezing hard.

This was because Li Xuewu wanted to coax Li Shu, and Fu Zhidong did not serve the table. He sat on the sofa with a small bowl and ate on the coffee table.

Li Shu was naturally dissatisfied when she saw everyone on the table eating and drinking in a lively manner.

But my father was by my side, so I could only point to the table with my little finger and babbling a few words to my father.

Today was a special day. The old lady and Liu Yin both came to the table to accompany Ding Fengxia, so Li Xuewu took the initiative to accompany his daughter.

Seeing that my daughter was anxious now, he smiled and carried her to the kitchen for a walk. He put a few pieces of eggs in a small bowl and came back, using chopsticks to pick them up bit by bit and feed them to her.

Li Shu was naturally satisfied when she had something to eat, but she still looked at the other side of the table. She still preferred the excitement there.

Ding Fengxia couldn't help but smile when she saw her uncle taking care of the children. She said something to Liu Yin beside her, and both of them started laughing.

Gu Ning didn't feel so comfortable eating at the table, because either her mother or the Li family would more or less look at her.

So after taking a few bites, he put down his chopsticks, said politely to his elders, and got up to pick up Li Shu from Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and asked, "Why don't you eat more?"

Gu Ning shook his head and said, "When you are full, give me the child."

Li Xuewu knew that Gu Ning was still a little uncomfortable in such a crowded place, so he didn't say anything more and gave the big devil to Gu Ning. He went to where Gu Ning was just now and took the wine bottle to his mother-in-law, grandfather and others. A round of wine was poured.

Maybe they are happy today, maybe because they see Li Xuewu and Gu Ning look like adults, but also because of the attitude of Li Xuewu and Gu Ning towards their children, which makes everyone feel more relieved and happy. The food is good and everyone can drink. Everyone brought cups.

Especially after Li Xuewu came to the table, he frequently took the initiative to toast, which also improved the atmosphere at the table a lot.

The elders were naturally delighted with Li Xuewu's changes and growth, and even more delighted that two people with very different personalities could get along well with each other.

It can be seen from taking care of Li Shu that Ding Fengxia feels that Li Xuewu can be so patient with his children, so he can also be patient with her daughter.

Liu Yin and Li Shun felt that Gu Ning must be a good daughter-in-law if she could be so considerate to Li Xuewu and take care of Li Shu.

Li Shun glared after being greeted by his son twice, but from Man Yin's actions, it could still be seen that he was in a good mood today, and he felt that his merits were about to be fulfilled.

But when he looked at Lao San, who was also drinking from a wine glass, he couldn't help but glare again.

The feeling of complete merit disappeared instantly.

Li Xuewu naturally could not understand his father's mood. While respecting his elders and family members, he also did not forget to respect Zhou Yamei.

Today, when we entertained the families of both parties, Zhou Yamei took the greatest credit for her hard work. Just a table of food was worth a glass of wine from Li Xuewu.

Zhou Yamei also took this opportunity to bless Li Xuewu and Gu Ning.

Taking advantage of this convenient time, Li Xuewu also introduced Zhou Yamei's care and family to everyone in a subtle way.

Li Shun had known about it for a long time, so he wasn't too surprised. Others didn't quite understand it and had only a vague understanding of it.

Only Mu Hongyan looked at Li Xuewu with some surprise. She really didn't expect that Li Xuewu was as sick as her sister-in-law.

Yes, who in the right mind could do something like that~——

After they had had enough wine and food, naturally all the women stretched out their hands to help Zhou Yamei clean up the kitchen.

Among the women, the one who did not participate was the sister-in-law Zhao Yafang, because she was young and could not bend down or be tired.

Li Xuewu found tea leaves from the tea cabinet and made tea for everyone one by one.

It was Li Xue who saw her second brother busy and took the initiative to help bring tea and water, which earned Li Xuewu a big smile.

Li Xuewu didn't blame his third brother for not knowing how to help, because the boy drank a little too much and was sitting on the chair in a daze with a flushed face.

“The garden is well taken care of”

Grandpa smiled and watched Li Xue serve the tea, and said something to Li Xuewu who came over.

Li Xuewu also smiled and replied: "Sister Zhou helped with the waiter. She said she could save a lot of food money in time for autumn."

Li Shun nodded and said, "That's the truth."

As he spoke, he turned to look at his eldest grandma and said, "There is still some space in the third son's yard. I will plant something later."

This may be the influence of Chinese people's planting genes. Li Shun has long wanted to grow some vegetables in the yard.

My neighbor Yan Fugui's family uses flower pots to grow vegetables every year, so they can save some money.

This made Li Shun and Liu Yin, who were diligent and thrifty, think about it several times, but there were not so many flower pots at home, let alone such a big space, so they had to give up.

Li Xuewu nodded to the old Biaozi sitting next to him and said: "There is a piece of land on the mountain where some vegetables are grown. Biaozi will bring it to the family in the summer. Don't waste it."

Li Shun looked at Li Xuewu and said: "It's so troublesome to eat food, how can it be as beneficial as growing it at home?"

Li Xuewen frowned and said, "Dad, let's learn martial arts. It's not appropriate."

Because of Zhao Yafang's influence, Li Xuewen has been reading newspapers recently and has learned a lot about the current situation.

Especially regarding the cultural field, he had to pay attention to it.

Words derived from culture are not popular, especially at this time, when some things look like nothing, but are actually just pigtails.

When Li Shun saw that his eldest son and second son were both opposed, he thought of something.

He drank a lot today, but his mind was not confused. He nodded clearly and did not continue the topic.

After Liu Yin and the others finished cleaning up and came out, the living room became lively again.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning chatted with everyone for a while, and then were urged by their mother to go shopping.

This is what Li Xuewu said before. Because he was getting married, he hadn't bought anything for Gu Ning yet, so he decided to go out for a stroll today.

The two families wanted to chat for a while longer at the villa, but Li Xuewu had already arranged for Lao Biaozi to help, so after saying hello, he took Gu Ning out again.

"Let's go look at the fabrics first and then go shopping for other things."

Li Xuewu took Gu Ning to visit the Wangfujing Shopping Mall that he had encountered earlier. There were many things here and they were all available.

Gu Ning didn't have any objections, just as if she was dealing with a task, and regarded this kind of shopping as an obligation that must be fulfilled before marriage.

Because she doesn't like this kind of crowded environment, and she doesn't like shopping.

Li Xuewu knew this about her, so he didn't intend to torture Gu Ning. He took her purposefully to the fabric counter opposite the lobby on the first floor.

There are many types of designs, colors and fabrics here. Li Xuewu remembered the materials and specific data explained by Li Guangnian, so it was not difficult to choose.

Salespersons also prefer people like Li Xuewu who don't need to explain or introduce nonsense.

This one was five feet, and that one was ten feet. Li Xuewu picked what he didn't have in his hand and chose the size. He told the salesperson the size, and the salesperson took a yellow wooden ruler and measured it quickly with his hands.

After measuring, use scissors to make an opening, then tear it open with your hands with a sizzling sound.

He folded the cut fabric and put it aside, and then measured the next material Li Xuewu wanted.

The reason why the salesperson is so efficient is entirely because Li Xuewu slapped the cloth ticket on the counter first, otherwise the salesperson would not be so happy.

"Let's go upstairs and have a look"

After buying the fabrics, Li Xuewu temporarily stored them on the counter and took Gu Ning to the second floor.

Gu Ning followed behind, looked at the people in the mall, and asked Li Xuewu, "What do you want to buy?"

"for wedding"

Li Xuewu replied to Gu Ning while climbing the stairs: "I think it seems like I almost missed something."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and said, "There is nothing missing. If you need it in a hurry, I can just go home and get it."

He didn't know whether it was to avoid trouble or to save trouble, Gu Ning's way to deal with the lack of things was to go home and get them.

In her mind, everything is home, and everything she can use and control is normal wherever she gets it.

Li Xuewu was not in a hurry to correct Gu Ning's concept, because when she realized this gap, it was precisely when she was confused and sad.

"You want to buy a watch?"

When Gu Ning followed Li Xuewu to the watch counter, she looked at Li Xuewu in surprise.

Because she knew that Li Xuewu had a watch.

Li Xuewu nodded and did not answer. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the glass counter.

At this time, there were relatively few watch styles. To put it simply, there was a large piece of round shape and a large piece of steel chain.

This is also related to people's aesthetics and usage habits at this time, which emphasizes durability.

Li Xuewu tried his best to choose two watches on the counter that were very similar, including brand and shape, dial and appearance.

But the difference is that one watch is large and the other is small.

Li Xuewu also wanted to buy couples' watches directly, but there was no such concept at this time. Neither manufacturers nor shopping malls put forward matching watches as a marketing concept.

Thanks to the simplicity of the current model, this pairing is not difficult.

Li Xuewu turned to look at Gu Ning and asked, "Do you like it?"

"You want to buy two?"

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, and then looked at the watch on the counter.

"Xima, a Swiss-made mechanical watch, thinner than domestic ones, all steel and shockproof"

The salesperson also saw that the two of them were not short of money, because both of them were dressed more neatly today.

In particular, Li Xuewu had a piece of West Horse in his hand, and now he saw that it was two pieces, so he took the initiative to introduce it.

"This kind of watch strap not only has a steel chain, but also leather, which is said to be crocodile."

The salesperson introduced Li Xuewu in a nonchalant and noncommittal tone. Her attitude couldn't be faulted, because the salespersons in the mall were much better than elsewhere.

Gu Ning looked at the dial. It had a white background that was common at this time, with patterns on the disc, and golden Roman numerals on the outer dial.

At this time, it was not popular for mechanical watches to leave the dial empty so that you could see the structure inside, so when choosing one, it was mostly based on the style.

"I have a watch"

Gu Ning looked at this area, raised his head and said something to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu smiled and said to the salesperson who lost his patience after hearing Gu Ning's words: "Help me take out the two watches. Let's try them. If they are suitable, please help us change them to leather straps."

The salesperson glanced at Li Xuewu in surprise. She thought they wouldn't buy it since the young woman said she had it.

It seems that there is really no shortage of money.

"The men's version is 160, the women's version is 150"

The salesperson didn't say anything else, just quoted the price, and then looked at Li Xuewu, waiting for Li Xuewu's decision.

This means that I can take it, but I won’t take it for free. You should first consider the money in your pocket. If I don’t take it out, you can’t afford it.

Li Xuewu nodded firmly, indicating that it was okay.

He didn't care at all about the salesperson's attitude, because if you cared about that, you wouldn't go out.

I searched all over the 49 cities and found that except for special stores, the service attitude was basically the same, or even worse.

Seeing Li Xuewu's insistence, the salesperson opened the cabinet door and took out two watches.

Li Xuewu took the initiative to take the lady's one and helped Gu Ning put it on.

"After much thought, I still need a token of love from you before getting married."

Gu Ning let Li Xuewu help her put on her watch, but she didn't expect to hear Li Xuewu say this.

At this moment, regardless of the salesperson standing opposite with the light bulb, Gu Ning raised his head and looked into Li Xuewu's eyes.

Li Xuewu had never seen the light in Gu Ning's eyes like this before, and he was sure he could understand the meaning in Gu Ning's eyes.

"I am sure"

"Um"

Gu Ning nodded, looked down at the watch on his wrist, shook it, and felt very satisfied.

Maybe he picked them hard while lying on the counter, maybe he also chose a piece to match with each other.

Li Xuewu turned to look at the salesperson who was watching the excitement and said with a smile: "Thank you, we want it."

"good"

The salesperson was also happy. She issued a ticket for two watches, collected Li Xuewu's money and tickets, and then took the watch and two boxes to the watch repair office at the end.

"Your monthly salary is just gone."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and said something in a brisk tone.

Li Xuewu turned his head, blinked his left eye, and said softly: "We can't negotiate wages outside from now on. People who don't believe me will say we are bragging, and those who believe me will make others jealous."

Gu Ning pursed her lips, but was still made to smile by Li Xuewu.

Indeed, at this time, not many people would believe a salary of more than three hundred, especially a young man like Li Xuewu.

The nature of society determines that young people will not earn too much money, even college students.

Li Xuewu didn't dare to say that he was a college student. The college he went to was just a joke.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

Li Xuewu asked: "If you can ask for leave, we can go get the certificate tomorrow morning."

"I was still thinking of telling you."

Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and said, "It might be Tuesday. There will be surgery on Monday."

Li Xuewu tilted his head and nodded. This is not a special TV series. If you delay it, you will miss it forever.

A one-day delay would not cause any problems, so Li Xuewu nodded happily.

"Then I'll pick you up on Tuesday morning."

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand and asked, "Are you going to look at the jewelry later?"

"No"

Gu Ning shook his head and said to Li Xuewu: "I don't like wearing those things, so don't buy them, and you can't wear them at work."

What Gu Ning said about not being able to wear them at work didn't mean that doctors couldn't wear rings and earrings, but that they couldn't be worn during surgery.

Especially the ring, even the watch Li Xuewu bought because it was a token of love, otherwise she wouldn't wear it.

Therefore, when looking at Gu Ning, he looked naked, without any decorations on his body, let alone anything gold or silver.

It's not that people in the simple era didn't wear jewelry. Old ladies wore bracelets and women wore earrings and money. No one said this.

They don’t wear them because they don’t have the money to buy them. Those who have money wear them well and wear jewelry.

Li Xuewu nodded in understanding and said, "I knew you didn't like it, so I just asked around and tried my luck."

Gu Ning pursed her lips and looked at Li Xuewu and found that there was no disappointed expression on this man's face, but instead he was a little happy.

Seeing Gu Ning staring at him, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "If you really want to go shopping, I must have enough money, but I don't have a single ticket."

Gu Ning pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing, and turned to look at the salesperson walking over.

“The watch strap has been replaced”

The salesperson put the watch on the box and pushed it over, and warned: "The metal watch chain is in the box. If you exchange it again, you will have to pay a handling fee."

Of course, Li Xuewu would not expect a lifetime free watch strap replacement service, and he had not eaten anything bad.

He picked up the lady's watch and gestured to Gu Ning. Gu Ning pursed his lips and smiled, looking at Li Xuewu as if he were a childish ghost, but he still handed over his wrist.

Li Xuewu helped Gu Ning put on the watch very seriously, and then deliberately held Gu Ning's hand and shook it, as if to see if the watch fit properly.

Gu Ning just watched Li Xuewu shaking his hand while standing at the counter was a salesperson with a very uncomfortable expression after being stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.

He had never seen such a shameless person.

Li Xuewu also felt the disgusted look from the salesperson, so he let go of Gu Ning's hand, took off his watch, put it into his bag, and put on a new one.

When he was about to leave with Gu Ning, Li Xuewu saw the salesperson rolling his eyes and suddenly turned around and asked, "Will you give me watch strap care oil?"

The salesman was startled by Li Xuewu's sudden turning back. Then he looked at Li Xuewu in disbelief when he heard this, and then rolled his eyes.

That seems to mean: Are you crazy? We are so polite to sell you a watch, but you still think that I will give you some watch strap care oil for free?

Of course, Li Xuewu was not asking for any nursing oil, but was just trying to scare her.

Gu Ning saw that Li Xuewu was being naughty on purpose and reached out to pull him.

Knowing that Li Xuewu was not a fool, he was just teasing himself. He deliberately made trouble with the salesperson so that he could take the initiative to talk to him and stop him from doing this.

However, for the sake of Li Xuewu's good performance today, Gu Ning chose to give him this face.

Li Xuewu, who had gained face, was indeed very sensible. He took the fabric he had saved from the counter on the first floor, walked in front and opened the door for Gu Ning.

Gu Ning kept smiling. It could be said that today was a very happy day for the two of them to be alone together.

It’s not like I’ve never been alone together before, but today I had a fulfilling and enjoyable time.

Maybe this is the reason why women like to go shopping to relieve their worries. Is it a cure-all?

"Would you like to go to the bookstore?"

Li Xuewu put his things on the back seat. After getting in the car, he looked at the time and asked Gu Ning.

He knew that Gu Ning still preferred visiting bookstores.

“Still not”

Gu Ning looked at the watch on her wrist unaccustomedly. The waiter had already adjusted the time just now, and now it was already past three o'clock.

"Let's go back and have a look"

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded, knowing that Gu Ning was worried about his family. Li Xuewu also understood that he did not leave his parents at home, and the two of them were free and happy outside.

When I drove the car back to the villa, I found that the car at the gate was gone and the gate was closed. Apparently the families on both sides had left.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning got off the car and entered the courtyard, but saw no one in the hall. Zhou Yamei had just walked down the stairs.

"You are back~"
