Chapter 744: I Thought I'd Break the News to Her First

Ji Kunlan, because he needed to take his cousin Wan Tao to the Personnel Department to handle procedures and also take him to the Data Room to hand over work, said: "Second Sister-in-law, once you get the tickets later, just give them to my Second Brother; since I'm already here, I naturally have to explain the work to Xiao Tao in detail to prevent him from making mistakes; once everything is done, I'll drive back myself."

Xiao Wanxia glanced at Wan Tao: "Alright."

Not long after, Xiao Wanxia came out of the office holding a stack of tickets; Ji Kunming happened to drive up: "Where's Little Sister?"

Xiao Wanxia handed the tickets in her hand to her husband: "She said she'll teach Xiao Tao a bit more later to prevent him from making mistakes afterwards; once she's busy, she'll drive back herself, so you go back first to deliver the tickets."

Ji Kunming took the tickets and put them in his pocket: "Actually, that Miss really looks like Grandma."

"Right?"

"Are you planning to make it clear to her that day, or...?"

"If it weren't for waiting for Grandpa, Dad would have gone to Changping today; I persuaded him for half the night last night, and only then did I stop him."

I thought I'd break the news to her first, then find an excuse to have her bring him into the city; you know, a lot of things are involved here; Grandpa's idea is to wait until this critical period passes, until all safety hazards are cleared, before holding the family-reunion banquet."

"Alright, as long as you two have agreed, I'll go back first; the family is still waiting for these tickets to prepare dowry for Little Sister."

After finishing her work, Chuxue thought about Ji Kunlan's wedding and what gift she should give.

Nowadays, most people give pillowcases or bed sheets; it feels like there's no novelty, after all, Ji Kunlan has been truly good to her.

Sister Hong saw her staring blankly: "What are you thinking about?"

Chuxue heard the question and didn't hide it: "A roommate who lives in the same dorm as me is getting married in a few days; I'm just thinking about what gift to give."

Sister Hong handed her a report form: "Is it that Miss you often eat with?"

"Mm, the one with quite fair skin."

Sister Hong thought for a moment: "A new batch of scarves just arrived at the Department Store; the colors are quite bright; my eldest sister's daughter works there as a salesclerk; if you think it's okay, I'll have her save one for you."

Chuxue nodded: "Alright, then trouble Sister Hong; have her save one for me."

Sister Hong walked toward her workstation while smiling: "No trouble; I'll call her in a moment; when you go to the bank to handle matters this afternoon, you can stop by then."

Chuxue naturally wouldn't refuse the favor: "Thank you."

After finishing matters at the bank in the afternoon, under Sister Hong's cover, Chuxue ran to the Department Store building.

After finding the person and looking at the scarves, with her perspective from a future life, she was slightly disappointed.

Put in the present, these scarves are indeed bright enough; giving a scarf for an ordinary relationship would be fine, but given her relationship with Ji Kunlan, it would be a bit hard to present.

However, she still picked two, planning to give one to Eldest Sister and one to her own mother; one each; in spring, when children go out and willow catkins fill the sky, they can wrap them around their heads.

She glanced toward the ready-made clothing section; there were only a few styles.

Turning around and preparing to go downstairs, she saw several bolts of taffeta displayed in the fabric section.

Thinking back to how she had planned to design a dress for herself next summer, upon seeing one bolt was light blue, an idea formed in her heart.

She happened to have the tickets collected last night: "Comrade, how much is this light blue taffeta per chi?"

The salesclerk, busy arranging goods, didn't turn around: "Eighty fen per chi, bring cloth tickets."

After speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Chuxue: "This is fresh stock that just arrived."

Chuxue thought it was rare to encounter such bright fabric; using her consciousness, she checked the tickets in her space, which were enough for her to indulge: "Comrade, what is the width of this fabric?"
