Chapter 185: Inspiration
Wedding dresses were introduced to China from the West at the beginning of the last century, first some Christian returnees wore them when holding weddings in churches, and in the thirties and forties they were popular among the wealthy in big cities such as Shanghai, and they also began to have veritable wedding photos. From the fifties to the seventies, due to historical reasons, there was a fault in the wedding dress, and it was only in the nineties that it became common. Li Ping's grandparents got married in the early forties of the last century, but they were not rich, and they were in Suzhou, so they didn't get to wear them. You have to say that grandma doesn't live in Tiger Hill, and she always sees the wedding dress, it's a little better, out of sight; However, she has never left Tiger Hill, and it can be said that she is a witness to the development of the Tiger Hill wedding dress industry, and she happened to witness it when she had free time after retirement.
It is natural to love beauty, and it will not change when you are old. Otherwise, why are the retired aunts outside dressed up so pretty? Of course, Grandma Li Ping also likes beautiful things, but when she passed by the doors of those wedding dress shops before, she could only glance at them hurriedly, and she wanted to go in and take a closer look, so that no one would laugh at her. Grandpa naturally accompanied her left and right to watch.
Seeing that the two old men had no intention of leaving, Li Ping became anxious, he was going to pick up Yang Wei at the North High-speed Railway Station at half past one. When he came, he told the two old men to take a look, and sent them back, he and Xiao Yang still had something to do in the afternoon, why did the two old men forget it in a blink of an eye when they saw the wedding dress!
Yang Xiuzhen thought for a while, and said softly to Li Ping: "In this way, you go to pick up Yang Wei alone, I won't go to the factory, Tianyi and I will wait for them to finish reading, take a taxi to send them back, and then finish dinner at grandma's house and take the bus home." ”
"Then what's the matter, Yang Wei and I don't have anything to say, forget it, I'll let grandma come and see it next time!" Li Ping finished speaking in a low voice, and was about to walk over and call grandma.
Yang Xiuzhen grabbed him and motioned for him to talk outside the store.
"Li Ping, I didn't say you, grandparents are so interested, how can you bear to let them go back? Also, why don't you have anything to say to Yang Wei, you can ask Liu Jing and Tianyou about the situation, I don't believe you will not care about Tianyou! ”
"Yo, why are you here? By the way, Li Ping, what time does Yang Wei arrive in Suzhou? ”
It was Wei Qiang who spoke. It turned out that when Wei Qiang arrived on the road, he remembered that Jia Jia should also go to the factory, so he asked Xiao Yin to go back with Lang Wen, and then moved the little furniture left to his house alone, and then brought Xiao Shan and Xiao Xia to pick him up and Jia Jia to go to the factory.
Just now, he walked around the bridal city by the way, and found that several new stores had opened, and some of them had copied the booth design of their store! However, Wei Qiang is not afraid, which stores are smaller than his own, and we have our own model team, do you have one? We have pianos, do you have them? It's going to be May Day soon, and I have to show off my strength with another model, and then let Shuwei play the piano, and Xiao Xia will sing on stage without worry! I'm afraid it's too late to learn martial arts from Lang Wen and perform martial arts on stage, but I can let Lang Wen perform. I just don't know if Lang Wen will have time by then.
"He asked me to pick him up at the North High-Speed Rail Station at half past one! It's a little faster now. Li Ping said as he looked at the table below.
"Oh, let's go, couple!" Wei Qiang probe into the store door shouted.
Jia Duo was looking at Li Ping's grandparents intently, but she didn't hear it, and Xiao Miao at the door hurriedly walked over to call her. She looked at Wei Qiang blankly.
"Good couple, let's pick up Yang Wei with Li Ping's car, and then go to the factory together, by the way, what kind of wedding dress does the old couple see? Is it because I didn't wear it when I was young, and now I can't make up for it? ”
"yes, why not? I was thinking just now, it seems that it is only in the ninety years to wear wedding dresses and take wedding photos when they get married, and those who got married twenty or thirty years ago have never worn wedding dresses. ”
"Yes, maybe this market is bigger, you see, the marriageable age is only twenty-two to thirty, now there are many people in the city who are not married, and there are more married couples over fifty years old, especially retired workers in the city, who have leisure and money, and should be willing to tailor wedding dresses for themselves and take some photos as a souvenir." Yang Jiaeven also became interested.
"Yes, it seems that the wedding anniversary is called differently every year, and then you will name it after the golden wedding, silver wedding, diamond wedding, etc. Hey, didn't Li Ping's grandparents say that they are already in their nineties, these days hurry up and bring it for the good couple to see, design it as soon as possible, and let grandma be a model on May Day! She was too old to catwalk, so she sat in the center of the booth while others walked around her. The more Wei Qiang spoke, the more excited he became.
"We are Li Ping's grandparents!"
Wei Qiang was already talking in a loud voice, and with excitement, his voice was even louder, and the two old men had already heard what he said, and they had already turned their heads.
"Grandma, you're finally optimistic, I'll send you back first! I'll have something to do in a moment! Li Ping breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward. Just now, the three of them were just talking "yes, yes", and they completely forgot what they were leaving, which made him anxious.
"Don't, didn't Angkor just ask my grandmother to be my model!" Jia Duo stopped him.
"I'm so old, I can't be a model, but I'm not optimistic, you go to do things first, and then come and pick us up when you're done!" Grandma said with a smile.
"Yang Wei said that the information or something is at his home in the high-speed rail new city, he estimates that he will go to the factory first, and then go to the factory, and I will come back very late." Li Ping became anxious again.
"Oh, speaking of Uncle Yang Wei, I remembered, my mother said that Tiancheng will not be in the hotel in the future, he loves to eat Tiancheng's dishes so much, let him go to Tiancheng's restaurant tonight to eat again, he has agreed last night. Tiancheng asked me to call you all, I almost forgot! Wait, all of us, including my grandparents, will go with us, so I don't think we have to go to the factory, just meet him in the restaurant and talk. ”
"This is a good idea, Li Ping, you go first, your grandparents and I will send it to the hotel later, you can rest assured."
"Okay, then Li Ping, let's go, by the way, bring Tianyi with you, Yang Wei likes Tianyi."
"I'm here!" Tianyi walked out from the back of the booth, it turned out that he had been quietly studying the piano. As for why he didn't play the piano, he said that he had never learned to play the piano, so he just played the piano indiscriminately, and he was sorry for such a beautiful piano.
