Chapter 20: Blind Date (2)
Cui Hong smiled, took her husband's hand and entered the bedroom, and said with a smile: "Why don't you want to help? Someone just asked Wang Xiang to marry his daughter! It's the daughter of Song Scar-Eye in the Song Ancestral Hall, I heard that she is good-looking......
Zhao Chenghai was also the same as his wife, he rubbed his hands with excitement and asked, "Is that really good, when will the blind date be arranged?"
"What's the hurry? Wang Xiang will come back from the market tomorrow, and there will be a letter!"
"Oooh...... Take a few dozen yuan and let Zhenhua go to town tomorrow to make a new outfit. On a blind date, you still have to dress brightly. Zhao Chenghai hurriedly said.
"I have a number, I'll tell Zhenhua. Cui Hong said.
Zhao Zhenhua was reading a book in his room and was about to rest.
Mother Cuihong knocked on the door and came in, holding a hundred yuan in her hand, and said with a smile: "Zhenhua, I told you about my family, I'm afraid I'm going to go on a blind date in two days." You take the money and go to town tomorrow to make a suit...... Buy another pair of leather shoes. And also...... Get your hair cut and dress up smart!"
"Blind date, which village?" Zhenhua was a little surprised.
He knew there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it so soon.
"Song Ancestral Hall, a very good-looking girl, was introduced by your Uncle Wang Xiang!"
"Oh......" Zhenhua replied indifferently.
Cui Hong said a few more gossips, turned around and walked out, letting her son rest.
Zhenhua closed the door, but heard his sister Chunlan tapping lightly on the side of the wooden wall.
Zhenhua and his sister's room was originally separated by a house, with miscellaneous wooden boards in the middle, and some newspapers and drawings were pasted on it.
My sister knocked on the plank, and there must be something to find herself.
Zhenhua leaned into the gap of the wooden board and asked, "Chunlan, you are not sleeping yet, what are you doing?"
"Brother, I'll discuss something with you......" Chunlan whispered over there.
"What's the matter?"
"I'd like to borrow five dollars from you...... I made a new pair of pants, the previous pants were patched, and my classmates laughed at me...... I saved five dollars for myself, and if you lend me another five dollars, it's enough. Chunlan said.
"The little girl also knows that she saves her private money, and she saves it by not eating at noon every day, right? No one cares about you when you are hungry and sick!" Zhenhuaban lowered his voice and taught his sister a lesson, and said: "Tomorrow and Sunday, you go to the street with me, and I will make clothes for you." Your five dollars are kept for school dinner. ”
"Thank you, brother, I know my brother is the best for me!" Chunlan thanked her repeatedly, presumably already excited over there.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Zhao Zhenhua took his sister Chunlan to the town together.
Hedong Town is a small place, there are no clothing stores that buy ready-to-wear clothes, only two or three tailor shops.
Chunlan had obviously inquired a long time ago, and even had been planning for a long time, so she gave advice and said, "Brother, there is a newly opened Aishang clothing store in the town, and the clothes made are trendy and beautiful, let's go there!"
Zhenhua took out the majesty of his eldest brother like a father again, glared and said, "You have been inquiring about this all day long, where do you still have the heart to study!?"
Chunlan stuck out her tongue.
Zhenhua still accepted his sister's suggestion and looked along both sides of the street, looking for the Aishang tailor shop.
Chunlan was familiar with the way, pulled her brother and walked quickly, and went directly to a tailor shop.
There is only one female boss in the shop, with her head down, sitting behind the sewing machine to operate.
Seeing the customer come to the door, the tailor raised her head, was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhenhua!?"
"Are you ......" Zhao Zhenhua was also stunned, staring at that delicate face, suddenly remembered, and said with a smile: "Are you Zhang Kexiang?"
Zhang Kexiang, Zhao Zhenhua's junior high school classmate, is also from Hedong Town, and studied together in the county No. 2 Middle School. It's just that in the third year of junior high school, Zhang Kexiang dropped out of school.
I haven't seen her for three years, and the young junior high school girl has now become a modern girl, generous and bright-eyed.
Moreover, Zhao Zhenhua found that Zhang Kexiang had grown a lot taller, and after a closer look, he saw the three-inch-high heels under her feet.
Zhang Kexiang had already come out from behind the sewing machine and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three years, I almost didn't recognize you!"
Zhao Zhenhua sneered: "Am I not still the same, but you have changed a lot." ”
"It's ugly, isn't it?" Zhang Kexiang asked with a smile.
"No, no, as before...... Pretty. Zhao Zhenhua was a little flustered.
Growing up so big, he has never talked to a girl like this, discussing each other's ugliness and beauty face to face.
Zhang Kexiang pointed to the stool and said, "Sit down, I'll pour you tea!"
"No tea, no tea, I'm here...... I make clothes, and I also make a pair of pants for my sister......" Zhao Zhenhua pointed to his sister Chunlan.
Zhang Kexiang looked Chunlan up and down, nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”
Chunlan was very surprised, stuck out her tongue and smiled: "Brother, it turns out that you are classmates? ”
"It must be discounted!" Zhang Kexiang smiled like a flower, took a tape measure to measure Chunlan, and asked, "Is my sister still studying? What pants do you make?
Zhenhua answered: "She's still studying, just make her a pair of pants." ”
"What's the matter, how can you make clothes casually?" Zhang Kexiang glanced at Zhenhua with a smile, and said: "Since you are still studying, let's make a pair of straight-leg pants, slim a little better." It's good-looking, and it's easy to exercise in school. ”
Chunlan accepted the suggestion and went there to choose fabrics.
Zhang Kexiang looked at Zhenhua and said with a smile: "What clothes are you going to make?
Zhenhua sneered again: "Eighteen generations of old poor peasants, what kind of marriage? Who can look up to me? I am ...... Just make a casual outfit and wear it without getting cold. ”
Zhang Kexiang covered his mouth and smiled: "Okay, make you a thick cotton jacket worn by the old man, to ensure that you are dressed warmly, and you can sweat for three or nine days." ”
Zhao Zhenhua felt that it was very difficult, not an opponent, and begged for mercy: "Then let's make a suit." ”
Zhang Kexiang nodded, and asked again: "What kind of fabric to choose?"
Zhenhua had no concept of cloth or anything, so he had to say: "You are the master, I listen to you." ”
Zhang Kexiang walked around Zhenhua, looked up and down, back and forth, and said: "Use pure cotton fabric, although the cyanamide fabric is cheaper, it is easy to pill and not durable." ”
Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I am an old farmer, so I want to be durable." ”
"I didn't say you're an old peasant, and besides, you're not necessarily as old as I am. Zhang Kexiang smiled, squatted down, and measured Zhenhua's leg length with a tape measure.
Chunlan was choosing fabrics, turned around and said, "Brother, I think it's still cyanamide fabric, and it looks very neat to wear...... Cotton, easy to wrinkle. ”
"This ......" Zhao Zhenhua was a little undecided.
"What are you afraid of wrinkling? When your brother marries a wife in the future, every time he washes his clothes, he just needs to iron it. Zhang Kexiang said.
"That's right, but when I marry my wife, I guess this dress will be worn out......," Zhao Zhenhua said.
"Then send it to me, and I'll give it to you! Alas, people who don't have wives are so pitiful. Zhang Kexiang measured the length of his legs and hips and waist, and measured Zhenhua's chest circumference.
She was standing opposite Zhenhua, breathing audibly.
Zhenhua smelled the fragrance emanating from Zhang Kexiang's body, and his heart suddenly jumped, this is the legendary ...... Blowing like an orchid?
Zhang Kexiang raised the ruler and stood on tiptoe, ready to measure the length of Zhao Zhenhua's shoulders and arms.
Zhao Zhenhua was there like a wooden man.
"Alas, you sit down, you grow so tall, do you want me to climb the ladder to measure you?" Zhang Kexiang retracted his hand, put the stool behind Zhao Zhenhua, rolled his eyes and said.
"I'm sorry to ......" Zhenhua's face turned red and he hurriedly sat down.
