Chapter 48: The Wedding Dress
"Meimei, I'm ...... today"
"Xiaoman, I have something to do today, so I have to leave early. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"But we didn't make an appointment......
"My mom is coming, she's coming to pick me up. Goodbye......"
"Oh...... All right. ”
When she was still a child, she was still Feng Xiaman, her hands hung on the shoulder straps of her schoolbag, and her head was lowered. She said to herself: It's nice to have parents come to pick up people from school.
If it had been a month ago, there would have been someone standing in front of the school gate waiting for him, right?
Although it is a very rough hand, it is also a big hand, and it can always hold your little hand tightly.
Feng Xiaman walked through the crowd, and she needed to walk quickly. But no matter how much she walked, some sounds could reach her ears.
"Tomorrow, don't talk to her, you know?" said a parent who was picking up and dropping off from school.
"If she plays with you, you remember saying that she is not available, you know, if she doesn't give up, you tell the teacher!" another parent who picks up and drops off school also talks to his own child.
And also...... Similar words, more ugly words.
"Don't play with the murderer's child, you're a good boy, that's a bad boy. ”
Yes, there is always such a thing, ugly to hear.
She could only cover her ears with all her might, and ran quickly around the corner...... Escape it all.
......
"Xia Man, Xia Man, Xia Man?"
"What's wrong?"
Tao Xia was stunned, and subconsciously looked at her fiancé, who was also her college classmate in Los Angeles. Acquaintance, acquaintance, love, unconsciously came to the present, about to enter the palace of marriage.
"What's the matter? The designer is asking you. Fiancé Zhou Zihao smiled and said, "People ask you what the effect of this dress is designed." ”
"Oh...... Sorry, I just got a little distracted. Tao Xia looked apologetically at the designer he was negotiating.
The designer, who is in his thirties, has his own family, and is a little famous in the industry, gave an understanding smile, "It's okay, it's okay, girls before marriage are quite easy to be in a trance." When I got married a few years ago, I was just as nervous and wandered a lot. At this time, Mr. Zhou must coax your future wife well. ”
Zhou Zihao smiled honestly and looked at his fiancée with a happy and satisfied expression.
The designer continued: "Miss Tao, according to your request, I have produced three renderings of the dress, how do you feel?"
Tao Xiaman looked at the design drawings at hand again, and she remembered that she was looking at the second design of the second of them, and she suddenly lost her mind.
"Hmm...... I want to think again. Tao Xiaman hesitated for a while, then said suddenly.
The designer was stunned for a moment, so he had to say: "Miss Tao doesn't like this traditional Chinese wedding dress that combines Western concepts?"
"No, it won't ......" Tao Xiaman hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's indeed very beautiful, but I still want to think about it." ”
"That's ......" the designer smiled: "It's true, after all, it's a lifetime thing, of course, you need to think about it." So, Miss Tao, I'll go back and change it, what do you think?"
"Excuse me. Tao Xiaman nodded.
Zhou Zihao quickly took Tao Xiaman's hand and walked out of the store and walked towards the parking place. At this time, he suddenly asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? ”
Tao Xiaman shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because I just came back, so it's a little unsuitable for this time." ”
"Well, then rest more. Zhou Zihao didn't think much about it...... He really didn't sleep well last night.
Even though it's been more than a week since I came back.
While calling Tao Xiaman to open the car door, Zhou Zihao said: "But ah, I thought you would like this traditional dress." ”
"How do you say that?" Tao Xiaman asked curiously.
Zhou Zihao smiled and said: "Do you remember last Christmas? Didn't you walk past a clothing store that day, I saw that you stared at a cheongsam in it, and you couldn't walk." This designer was introduced to me by a senior brother of mine, so I told her to try it out in Chinese style first. I was going to surprise you, but I didn't expect to upset you. ”
Tao Xiaman was a little moved, patted Zhou Zihao's hand and said, "I'm not unhappy." I like Chinese style, yes, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"In this life, it is difficult for a girl to come across a Chinese-style wedding dress with a phoenix gown skirt that she really likes. Tao Xiaman shook his head and said, "I don't want to settle for ......."
"Hmm...... Reasonable. Zhou Zihao nodded slowly, "That's it, anyway, there is still some time, this is not good, let's find something else, right?"
"Next week. ”
The car slowly left.
The old man didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't choose to walk out until the car left completely. The old man has never been so excited in so many years.
The joy of seeing Xia Man and the restraint of not being able to recognize each other also made him feel tormented at the same time.
However, Lao Feng took one last look at this dress shop, and for him, it was still good after all.
Because my daughter is about to get married.
It doesn't get much better than that for a father.
......
Lao Feng quickly put on his hat and mask and left the place.
He didn't know how he had left the wall.
The only thing he knew was that by the time he came to his senses, he was already standing on the street.
He was not wearing prison clothes, but a simple set of casual clothes, and he also had some money in his pocket. Not much, hundreds of dollars.
Then, with his own eyes, he saw the girl being led out of the car by the boy and into the dress shop...... The moment he saw the girl, Lao Feng knew that this was his daughter.
It's an innate feeling, and you can't go wrong.
Lao Feng even found a note with a certain address written in the pocket of his clothes: Tao Xiaman's address.
He had learned from the employees of the welfare agency that the family who adopted his daughter was surnamed Tao.
Lao Feng only felt that he had encountered the most mysterious thing in the world...... But even if it was just a dream, he was willing to be stuck in it.
Reluctance to wake up.
Perhaps, he should cherish this time, go to Tao Xiaman's address to hide, and see more of this grown daughter.
But after being melancholy for a long time, Lao Feng decided to go back to his home first.
The old house.
......
......
In the evening, after chatting with Tao Xiaman on the phone, Zhou Zihao calmed down.
He loved this girl more than everything else.
He tried his best to give her the best.
Although this is a wedding banquet held here, it is mainly to deal with the relatives and friends of the male and female families here, and after the marriage, they will still settle abroad.
Zhou Zihao couldn't sleep a little, firstly, because of jet lag, right? Second, I am afraid that it was what happened during the day today.
Zhou Zihao began to browse on Zhihu to see if there were any posts introducing dresses in this city.
It's been more than half an hour, but he hasn't found what he's looking for.
Zhou Zihao also had the idea of giving it a try, and posted a question by himself: Where can I find an experienced and well-skilled Chinese cheongsam master?
Of course, he just gave it a try, and he didn't expect to get an answer right away.
Zhou Zihao himself laughed, and turned off the bedside light, planning to take a good rest...... Unexpectedly, suddenly there was a prompt of information.
His post was actually replied to. Zhou Zihao hurriedly turned on the light and took a look.
An ID named LQ wrote the following words: I heard that more than ten years ago, there was a tailor with good craftsmanship, who specialized in helping people order cheongsam and other clothing, and lived at No. 33, Lane 2, Jihua Road.
"More than ten years ago?" Zhou Zihao was stunned, thought about it, got up, and wrote down such an address on a sticky note.
......
When he woke up the next day, Zhou Zihao rubbed his eyes, he seemed to have slept well last night, and he felt full of energy today.
He glanced at the sticky notes he had written on the bedside table, thought for a moment, and made a phone call—to his fiancée.
"Hey, Xia Man, I asked a few old classmates to have dinner today, and I won't be able to accompany you in the afternoon. Zhou Zihao said apologetically: "I just talked about it last night, I think it's too late, so I didn't argue with you." ”
"Oh, that's okay. It's been a long time since you've been back, and you should meet your old classmates. I still have to rush a report here, and I don't actually have time to go out today. Be careful on the road, especially by car, the lanes here are different from those in Los Angeles. ”
Zhou Zihao chatted a few more words, then tidied himself up and drove out.
The target shown on the car navigation is: No. 33, Lane 2, Jihua Road (to be continued.) )
