Chapter 7 Birthday Presents

After returning to China, Cheng Lin did not live with his parents, but bought a well-decorated single apartment in Haitianyuan in the center of the city as his temporary nest. He brewed a cup of coffee and sat in front of the computer while watching the stock market and drank it slowly.

After solving the daily work, Cheng Lin stood at the window and looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside, and smiled faintly when he remembered his plan. Now, Wang Juan is fully engaged in the planning of the upcoming Tianhe project, and Liu Cai is about to go to a distant place for academic exchanges, and everything seems to be perfect. Cheng Lin was ready to receive the results, but at the same time, he was looking forward to what the harsh sister had to do to crack it, and two different pleasures made him feel satisfied.

It is inevitable for people to establish a family at a certain age, and Cheng Lin has never refused the blind date arranged by his parents for him. In his spare time, he always arranged to meet all kinds of women, including stereotypical professional women, lively and youthful female students, and shrewd so-called small white-collar women in foreign companies. He revered every woman, but he always smiled faintly at the women performing in front of him. He never denied his superiority, and he could even simulate the mood of those women who were hiding every expression when they went on a blind date with him, just doing so, and every blind date would become boring.

He is used to having a full grasp of everything, and every detail must be perfect. He hides his sharp horns with a gentle smile and long hair, silently observing every opponent's actions, words, or expressions. He has to secretly understand all the weaknesses of his opponent, and then hit it with one blow.

Wang Juan, a simple woman, was a blank sheet of paper in front of him, all her experiences were clear, and Cheng Lin knew everything about her, including that she was still wetting the bed when she was eight years old. After every blind date, Cheng Lin used to communicate with Wang Juan, and then observe her reaction, until one day Wang Juan offered to introduce a beauty to herself.

He didn't expect it, but it was necessary to understand what role this beauty would play in this matter.

Ryu was not at all disappointed with him. At the first glance of the meeting, Cheng Lin's eyes quickly swept over Liu Shi's shoulders and hands, and determined that this woman was not the woman who graduated from college and successfully started her own business in Wang Juan's mouth. Willow is white and tender, but the lines of her shoulders are unnatural, and the muscles are slightly bulging, and it is obvious that her shoulder muscles have been damaged for a long time, and her arms are very beautiful, but the fingers are thick and the yellowish calluses are not produced by a short period of labor. Cheng Lin was sure at first glance that this Liu Cai's sister was just an ordinary working woman, and she felt insulted in her heart, but she covered it up well.

Liu's performance after that made Cheng Lin look forward to it. Cheng Lin knew that his appearance was lethal to women, but Liu Shi only opened his eyes wide, and there was no other reaction, no joy or anxiety like other women, or even shyness. She gulped down the delicate but not tasty food, gulped down the soup, and looked at the dishes on the table as if she were never satisfied. Cheng Lin laughed afterwards, this woman must have been in a state of extreme hunger during puberty, and those hungers deepened her hopes and showed it unabashedly!

When Liu ruthlessly exposed his careful thoughts, he did have a moment of panic, this woman is too dangerous, it is an unsheathed sword, she doesn't know how to hide her edge at all, maybe sharp, but if you wield it indiscriminately like this, you will be injured by mistake. He wanted a 100% chance, so he considered all the details more carefully and created all the favorable conditions for himself to avoid being hurt by Ryu yes's recklessness, and at the same time he expected Yoo yes's reaction.

Of course, he remembered that Liu was questioning himself in the small garden outside Wang Juan's house that day, his face was full of life, the sun was shining on her snow-white face, he leaned closer to her face to see it clearly, but he felt a little embarrassed under her calm gaze. She showed her anger and hope, and proudly showed off her martial arts, Cheng Lin felt stupid, but couldn't help but cast more thoughts into the past.

Cheng Lin couldn't help laughing while recalling, and he was expecting Liu yes's reaction.

**************

Liu was very upset to learn that her brother was about to be sent out, but her poor mind could not think of a better way to solve it. She couldn't restrict Wang Juan from pursuing her career, nor could she risk blocking her brother's professional development, so she was so distressed that she grabbed her hair. Liu is wry smile, she is really working harder than her mother as a sister.

Halfway through the summer, Wang Juan's birthday is coming. She is the only daughter of the Wang family, and she is the pearl in everyone's hands, and every year on her birthday, she must hold a big event in her parents' villa.

After working in a high-end garment factory for so many years, Liu has had many opportunities to meet some fashion designers and get some better fabrics. There was once a designer from Hong Kong who was hired as a technical director in the factory with a high salary, and the designer was a very proud person, who was very disdainful of these sewing women who did not have Chinese at the beginning, and did not want his design to lose his soul in the hands of these female workers. By the way, the word soul was repeatedly emphasized by the designer. When Liu first heard it, she only felt hypocritical and funny, and the clothes were just to protect her from the cold and shame, was it necessary to rise to the level of the soul? She didn't understand the soul and other mysterious things, she only knew that if she wanted to get a good wage, then every sewing must do her best, she never wasted any available fabric, and the advanced selection in the factory every quarter must be her.

She stubbornly took on the task of making clothes for the designer alone, and if she did it well, her salary could continue to rise, and if she didn't do well, she would just leave. After the clothes were made, the designer didn't say anything after seeing it, but he was much more polite when he gave technical guidance in the factory, and Liu's salary also rose smoothly, and then Liu almost became the designer's exclusive sewing master in the inland until she went home. When they parted, the designer handed her a piece of fabric that he treasured and said, "Liu, this fabric is only for those who know how to wear clothes!" Liu was very pleased, this piece of fabric is more spiritual encouragement than all material things, and it is an affirmation and recognition of her efforts.

Liu Yes's hand slowly glides over the smooth satin, and the intricate pattern slightly highlights the faint light, elegant and serene.

Liu opened the window, turned on all the lights in the room, and carefully cleaned a sewing workbench that was specially made during the decoration, leaving no dust behind. Then I found out some of the body size data I recorded when Wang Juan made her wedding dress when she got married, and then turned out the classic cheongsam design drawings in clothing magazines, carefully checked all the parts, and started working. She sewed her best wishes into her clothes, stitch by stitch, and hoped that they would come true.

On Wang Juan's birthday, Liu closed the shop and took her mother home early in the morning. Wang Juan had already arrived at her parents' house in advance, and only Liu was left to wait for them at home.

Liu Cai drove Wang Juan's car and slowly drove towards the southern suburbs of the city. Liu is younger brother who didn't know anything about things at all, and said, "You have been gone for half a year, so you are not worried at all?"

When my mother heard that Liu was leaving, she immediately asked, "Where is he going?"

"Mom, that's work!" Liu Cai said, "What's the use of worrying? I can't just keep her alone for the rest of my life, and then I can't do anything! Men always have their own careers." ”

Liu is nodded, if Liu Cai had some achievements in his career, Cheng Lin's intrigues and tricks would not be so easy to achieve, right?

The car drove out of the city and then onto a special road for villas, which was lined with dense pine trees on both sides, and the strong smell of pine wood in the summer kept coming. When the car turned into the community, the small white buildings were set against the shade of the thick green trees, which was particularly beautiful.

After parking the car, I heard a burst of hearty laughter as soon as I entered the living room. Liu is glanced at, Wang Juan sat on the sofa by the window, and Cheng Lin sat next to him, talking to Wang Juan's father while peeling apples, the atmosphere was really indescribably good.

Liu Cai was stunned for a moment, walked over, and said, "The weather is so hot, you are good, the air conditioner is blowing at home." ”

Wang Juan's father hurriedly got up to greet his mother, the old mother sat on the sofa with a sneering leather luster, Liu is sitting opposite Chenglin, watching him hand the apple to Wang Juan, Wang Juan took it unceremoniously and took a big bite.

Father Wang said politely: "Wang Juan is just not sensible, and she is in trouble when she is so big!"

"What's this?" Cheng Lin put down the fruit knife with a smile and said to the willow: "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I'm beautiful again!"

Liu is smile and handed the paper bag to Wang Juan and said, "This is a birthday gift for you!"

Wang Juan was a little surprised, and hurriedly took it and dismantled it, screaming while dismantling: "Sister, the clothes you made for me?" Wang Juan had a reason to scream, she originally didn't look down on this sister, but she was just a junior high school graduate, as long as she was passable in terms of face and etiquette. Unexpectedly, this sister gave her a big surprise before getting married. My sister bought the fabric of the wedding dress herself, and made her two sets of dream-like wedding dresses according to the wedding photography, and by the way, there were also Liu Cai's dresses, just those two wedding dresses made her the envy of all relatives and sisters, and also became the happiest bride, and she didn't dare to underestimate her sister.

"Yes, it's too expensive to think of buying you a better one, so I have to do it myself!"

Wang's mother came out with tea, and when she saw Wang Juan's ecstatic appearance, she scolded with a smile: "There are really no rules!" After speaking, she took her mother's hand affectionately and said, "My mother should bear with me!"

What my mother is most afraid of is this kind of smiling person, who can't speak.

"It's a cheongsam!Mom, look, it's a cheongsam!" Wang Juan jumped off the sofa, "I'll go change it and have a look!"

Mother Wang's eyes narrowed and said, "I'll take a look!"

Wang Juan was reluctant to hand it to her mother and said, "Mom, what's so beautiful, I'll look at it after I'm dressed!"

"Dead woman, what do you know?" Mother Wang smiled politely, carefully touched the slippery fabric, and said, "This is a good piece of material, some years, right?"

Liu is said: "When I was working in the factory, a designer gave it to me! I put it in vain, and I made it for Wang Juan to wear." ”

Mother Wang sighed a little: "You are so skillful, look at how well this buckle is done, where is it like the picture sold outside to save trouble and directly zipper! I watched my mother wear such clothes when I was a child, it was really good." ”

The more Wang Juan listened, the happier she became, and as soon as she snatched her clothes, she went to the toilet in the opposite corner to change.

"Sister, why are you making it for her again? Her clothes are thrown everywhere in the house!" Liu Cai said dissatisfied.

"Aren't women in love with these?" Cheng Lin smiled.

Wang Juan rushed out of the toilet, rushed to the foyer, took her high heels, and ran in again, everyone laughed lovingly. Liu is smile a little bitterly, the gap between people and people is really big.

After a while, the toilet door opened, and Wang Juan jumped out happily, her slender body wrapped in a cheongsam, and the faint patterns reflected the sunlight, which looked particularly gorgeous. "How's it going??, is it good-looking?" Wang Juan jumped up to Liu Cai's side, the sound of her high heels rubbing against the floor was dull, and she asked Liu Cai with a twisted face.

Liu Cai was also a little surprised, and nodded again and again. Cheng Lin looked at the woman with a faint smile in his eyes complicatedly, and he really couldn't see that she had such a hand.

"Wang Juan, don't you want to thank your sister?" Wang's father said, "Look at this daughter, what will become when you are happy?"

Wang Juan immediately said obediently: "Thank you, sister!"

Ryu was generously accepted.

Mother Wang was a little envious: "This dress is too gorgeous!"

"It's just right, it's just right to wear it when I go to a party with Cheng Lin!" Wang Juan happily looked at the cheongsam that fit on her body, the delicate buckle pattern, and some shallow tangled branch embroidery on the seams on both sides, which made it even more delicate, "This is unique, you can't buy it!"

"Aunt should love to wear it, I'll measure it for you when I have time, and make one too!" Liu is smile.

"Alas, that's too troublesome!" Mother Wang refused, but her eyes were still staring at the clothes, Liu is smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, it'll be fine soon!"

"Your aunt, you love beauty even when you're old!" said Wang's father.

Everyone laughed heartily, but my mother felt uncomfortable, this dead woman didn't even make her mother's clothes, but she had to rush to make them for others to wear.

Liu is happy to see those people talking, and Wang's mother pulled her mother to the yard to look after the puppy, and she had nothing to do and nothing to say, so she went into the kitchen to help the nanny cook. The nanny Xiao Yang was very polite, and Liu is smiled and said, "It's okay to be horizontal and vertical, let's talk!"

Xiao Yang is about twenty years old, and he is a lively and jumpy character, and there are no entertainment activities in this suburb on weekdays, and there is no topic with the two old people, and he is extremely lonely.

"Mr. Cheng has a good relationship with his uncle's family, you can go to his house to talk to that nanny Xiao Rui when you have nothing to do! There's nothing fun in the suburbs, it's nice to have one more friend!" Liu is grinning as he picks vegetables.

Xiao Yang looked at Cheng Lin who was talking in the living room, and said, "Cheng Lin doesn't go home to live, Uncle Cheng is always angry, the atmosphere over there is not good, I don't dare to play!"

"What are you afraid of! Uncle Cheng is very kind to other people!" Liu was very impressed by the fat old man, his round face was full of smiles, he smiled at everyone, and he was patient.

"It is said that Wang Juan has been married for a year, and it is time for Chenglin to get married. Auntie also introduced him to a lot of blind dates, I secretly saw those photos, they are all beautiful!" Xiao Yang said more and more energetically, "However, Cheng Lin went to see them all, and Auntie said that he was a ghost." When Uncle Cheng saw him, he scolded him for being serious! Don't look at Uncle Cheng as having a good temper, he is very strict with Cheng Lin!"

Liu is laughing, it seems that Cheng Forestry is not no one to hold back!
