Chapter 230: Changes, Prospects
The wooden house is not big, but it is very tidy, everyone hugged Sanjiangshui into the house, and at a glance saw Li Chunmei sitting on the edge of the bed, and the little girl sitting next to her.
Today's Li Chunmei is dressed very beautifully, with short bangs, a bun up, a phoenix hairpin inserted in the coiled hair, and a red bridal gown, which looks gentle and elegant.
Chinese pay attention to good intentions, and marriage is a great joy in life, and even more so. When a woman marries, the skirt gown is the main dress, and the skirt is homophonic with the group, implying that the children are in groups. The skirt gown is mostly embroidered with auspicious patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, flowers and birds, representing the blessings of the dragon and phoenix and eternal union.
Compared with the wedding dress, Ang Lee feels that the bridal gown is more meaningful.
However, behind the change of trend is the change of concept and aesthetics, the style of the skirt gown is mainly wide robe and large sleeves, and the style of the wedding dress is slim, which can better show the figure.
"Yaya."
Sanjiangshui walked up to the mother and daughter and called out to the little girl.
The little girl looked at the people who entered the house and said timidly:
"Uncle."
"It's time to change your tune."
Sanjiangshui's tone was soft.
The little girl's black and white eyes looked at Sanjiangshui, and opened her mouth, there were many people, and she was embarrassed to speak after all.
Sanjiangshui smiled, no longer teasing her, put the bouquet in Li Chunmei's hand, and held Li Chunmei to get up.
"Brother Shui, wedding shoes."
Li Chunmei reminded in a low voice, and the candlelight of the dragon and phoenix candles on the table next to her reflected her face red.
Sanjiangshui realized that Li Chunmei was not wearing shoes, and immediately reacted, and couldn't help but look at Lin Zhaodi on the side.
"Zhaodi, where are the wedding shoes?"
Lin Zhaodi ignored him, rarely let go of her temperament, turned her head and laughed in a low voice with the other two girls in the house.
Li An stepped forward and took out the laisee that had been prepared long ago from his pocket:
"Senior sister."
"It's still A'an who has the vision to see and is knowledgeable."
Lin Zhaodi took the laisee, and her eyes were bent into a crescent moon.
"Of course."
Ang Lee nodded yes.
"Can't you be humble?"
Lin Zhaodi glanced at him, not embarrassed, and gestured to the girl with bangs beside her.
The good-looking girl covered her mouth and chuckled, turned to the bedside, took out a pair of red embroidered shoes from the neatly stacked quilt, and handed them to Sanjiangshui.
"Now, here you go."
"Thank you."
Sanjiangshui took the shoes in his hand and put them on for Li Chunmei.
His left hand was held in Yaya, his right hand was clasped with Li Chunmei's ten fingers, and he was hugged by everyone and walked out of the wooden house.
Holding a red umbrella and sprinkling rice, he walked out of the squatter area along the path.
Firecrackers rang out at the intersection, and everyone got into the car, went around Jixiang Road, and went to the wharf.
At half past ten in the morning, Hongyun Restaurant.
The red carpet is brightly lit, the dishes and chopsticks are neatly placed on the red tablecloth, and five or six tables are full of guests.
Picking up relatives back to the tenement building on Nanjing Street, under the witness of the first line of heaven, Sanjiangshui and Li Chunmei held a wedding ceremony, and everyone set off to the restaurant to entertain the guests.
Of course, it is said that it is a simple office, and it is true that no guests were invited, except for Li Chunmei's fellow villagers who sat at two tables, and the guests on Sanjiangshui's side only filled four tables, and many guests still took the initiative to come over to congratulate.
"Brother Luo's knife wound was removed, but the ribs in his chest were fractured, and the doctor told Brother Luo to stay in bed for a few days to recuperate, and now he can't be discharged from the hospital, so he asked me to come over this time. Brother An, this time your senior brother got married, he couldn't come, let me say sorry. ”
The lard boy smiled apologetically, and handed the laisee in his hand to Lu Jianming, who was sitting behind the desk and acting as a bookkeeper.
After the incident of the walled city, the lard boy became much closer to Ang Lee.
"That's so polite."
Li An shook his head and called out to Wu Shihao, who was helping to entertain the guests.
"Ah Hao, welcome Brother Zai to take a seat."
"Okay."
Wu Shihao nodded and stretched out his hand to the lard boy: "Brother boy, I'll take you there." ”
The lard boy snorted and walked away with Wu Shihao.
"Your friend?"
Lu Jianming put away the laisee and asked.
"Well, when I went to see him in the hospital the day before yesterday, he asked me what I was busy with, and I casually said that I was busy looking for a shop and my brother's marriage, and he remembered it." Li An said with a smile.
"Looking for a shop? Are you in business? ”
Lu Jianming was a little curious.
When Zhou Sheng talked to him about Li An, he just said that Li An's learning boxing has made rapid progress and is talented, and he did not talk about other things.
"Do retail."
Li An nodded in response, and seeing that Lu Jianming was a little confused, he made up again:
"It is a chain of self-service shopping supermarkets that have emerged in Europe and the United States in recent years, similar to store stores, but with larger stores and more diversified product types."
Lu Jianming thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Similar to 7-Eleven of Texas Southern Company, is this kind of convenience store?" ”
"Yes, in addition to convenience stores, there are supermarkets."
"In recent years, convenience stores, supermarkets, department stores. This kind of retail convenience is emerging rapidly in Europe and the United States, especially supermarkets and department stores, and the market in Hong Kong is blank, and there is a great prospect for this industry. ”
Li An was a little surprised when he heard this: "Senior brother's family is in the gold business, but I didn't expect to know more about retail. ”
Lu Jianming explained with a smile:
"Actually, I only learned about it at the beginning of the year when I inspected the gold specialty store at the Good Market department store in Paris, but not much."
chatting, the time unconsciously reached half past eleven.
Zhou Sheng walked over.
"I see you're having a good chat, it's time to eat."
"Here we are."
Lu Jianming got up and cleaned up, and the three of them found a table and sat down.
After the banquet was served, Zhou Sheng beckoned the guests to move his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and said:
"Second Senior Brother, we haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and when you come back this time, you have to stay for a while longer."
Lu Jianming shook his head: "I'm afraid not, at most I will accompany my master for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will go back to Chinatown." ”
Zhou Sheng was surprised:
"There are three days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the business of your family has always been taken care of by Uncle, you are just a helper at most, it doesn't matter if you play for a few more days, you don't need to be in such a hurry, right?"
"Mainly recently, Chinatown has not been very peaceful, several forces are vying for territory, there are many fights, and I am not at ease after a long time."
Zhou Sheng frowned: "It's troublesome? ”
"Not really."
Lu Jianming shook his head and said:
"It's just that these guys have been making a lot of trouble recently, Chinatown has been a mess, and the business of the gold bank has been somewhat affected by the lack of customers, and it is not a big trouble, even if they are bold, they will not take the initiative to provoke us."
Zhou Sheng's heart was relieved when he heard this, and he no longer insisted:
"Okay, then I'll finish dealing with the police station in the morning in the past few days, and I'll call it a day early."
"No, your work is more important, I'll come back during the Spring Festival."
Lu Jianming said with a smile.
