Chapter 1558

Su Xinghui nodded. He reported some of the recent work situations in Changshan County to Lu Zhenghong again and discussed the gains and losses with Lu Zhenghong. Every time he went to Lu Zhenghong's home, he would tell him about his recent work situation, which was very beneficial to his growth.

Lu Zhenghong was, after all, a high-ranking official at the vice-provincial level, and the level he was at was much higher than his. Although Su Xinghui had the advantage of rebirth, in this regard, he was still incomparable to Lu Zhenghong.

The two discussed work matters, and Lu Zhenghong said, "Xinghui, there is still one month left, and you and Xiaoya are going to hold your wedding. Where do you plan to hold this wedding?"

Su Xinghui answered without hesitation, "I plan to hold it in Shangjun."

Lu Zhenghong was not surprised at all by Su Xinghui's answer, and he also appreciated this point about Su Xinghui. No matter what, he had his own principles to adhere to.

Lu Zhenghong nodded slightly and said, "You haven't been home for a long time either. How about this, tomorrow morning you and Xiaoya go back to Shangjun together. You also discuss the wedding matters with your parents. After you have discussed it, give us a call so we can prepare in advance."

Su Xinghui said, "Thank you, Dad!"

This afternoon, Su Xinghui went to the street with Lu Xiaoya. There was still one month left, and he was going to hold his wedding with Lu Xiaoya. Today he wanted to buy the clothes to wear at the wedding with Lu Xiaoya, and also book the wedding photos.

The two had not strolled together in Jiangcheng for a long time. Today, they were holding hands sweetly, walking on the streets of Jiangcheng, and it felt quite good.

It was about to be September. Jiangcheng had rained twice in the past few days, and the temperature had dropped very quickly. Today was also a cloudy day, and the current temperature was only around thirty degrees, so it was not too hot for the two of them to walk on the street. However, compared to Changshan, Jiangcheng was still relatively sultry.

Lu Xiaoya said, "After living in Changshan for so long, I'm a bit unaccustomed to staying in Jiangcheng."

Su Xinghui said, "That's for sure. Changshan is a summer resort, while Jiangcheng is a famous big furnace. And it's by the Yangtze River, so the humidity is too high. How could it not be hot?"

The two came to a wedding dress shop. Lu Xiaoya planned to wear a wedding dress at the wedding banquet, and then wear a cheongsam after arriving at the new house, so they planned to buy a wedding dress first.

The air conditioning in the wedding dress shop was turned on quite fully, and the two felt refreshed as soon as they came in. A salesperson came up and said, "Sir, Miss, are you planning to buy a wedding dress or rent one?"

Generally speaking, newlyweds preparing to get married rent wedding dresses because a wedding dress is too expensive, at least one or two thousand, which is half a year's salary for an average person. And this wedding dress can only be worn once in a lifetime. Very few people are willing to pay such a big price for a wedding dress worn only once. After all, people's incomes are not high these days.

However, Su Xinghui planned to buy a wedding dress for Lu Xiaoya because he felt that renting a wedding dress was somewhat unhygienic and somewhat unfair to Lu Xiaoya, because he didn't know how many people had worn the rented wedding dress, and he didn't know if the wedding dress shop washed it cleanly.

A bought wedding dress is at least new and will only be worn by Lu Xiaoya. Even if it is never worn again in the future and is pressed at the bottom of a trunk, it will still be Lu Xiaoya's eternal beautiful memory for a lifetime.

As for these two or three thousand yuan, it hadn't caught Su Xinghui's eye yet. If he wanted to make money, painting a picture could sell for the price of several wedding dresses.

Su Xinghui said to the salesperson, "We want to buy a wedding dress."

The salesperson became excited all of a sudden. Although their wedding dress shop also sold wedding dresses, there were really too few people who bought them. Among one hundred people, there might not be two or three who would buy a wedding dress; the vast majority would rent them. However, for these salespeople, the commission for selling a wedding dress was much higher than the commission for renting one.

The salesperson said enthusiastically, "Sir, Miss, are you getting married? The wedding dress samples are all over here. Please come over and take a look."

The two followed the salesperson to the wedding dress sample display area. This wedding dress shop was quite strong. In the display area, there were many wedding dress samples displayed, dazzling to the eyes. The salesperson said enthusiastically, "Sir, Miss, you can try as much as you want. You can try whichever set you want."

Su Xinghui said softly to Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, take a look and see which wedding dress you like."

Lu Xiaoya was full of joy. A woman only has one such wedding in her life, so she naturally hoped that she could dress beautifully and marry herself off in a grand way. And as for the wedding dress she wore at the wedding, she naturally hoped that she could keep it; that would be her eternal beautiful memory for a lifetime!

However, she did not make a request to Su Xinghui to buy a wedding dress. She was not a materialistic girl, and she also knew that a wedding dress costing several thousand yuan was really too expensive, but it could only be worn once in a lifetime, which was really too wasteful. So if Su Xinghui said to rent a wedding dress, she could also accept it.

But she didn't expect Su Xinghui to take the initiative to say he wanted to buy a wedding dress. How could Lu Xiaoya not be happy about this?

Lu Xiaoya looked at those wedding dresses. These wedding dresses were considered beautiful. Lu Xiaoya looked at them carefully one by one. A wedding is a major event in a woman's life, so choosing a wedding dress naturally requires being a bit more serious.

After picking for a long time, Lu Xiaoya felt that she was not satisfied with any of them. These wedding dresses were hung in the display area, and she didn't know how many people had tried them on. Although they were beautiful, they always made her feel that there was something lacking. These wedding dresses were still a bit ordinary and still had some distance from the wedding dress in her mind.

Seeing Lu Xiaoya's expression, Su Xinghui knew that she was not satisfied. He smiled and said, "Not satisfied, right? Then let's change to another shop."

The salesperson was very disappointed, but she couldn't do anything about it. The customer was not satisfied, so she could only watch Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya leave, even forgetting to say "Welcome next time."

The two strolled through several more shops, basically visiting all the wedding dress shops in Jiangcheng, but Lu Xiaoya still hadn't picked one she was satisfied with. Su Xinghui was not impatient at all. He said gently to Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, pick carefully. We must pick the best one; don't settle."

Lu Xiaoya suddenly said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, why don't you help me design two sets of clothes? Let's ask a good tailor to make them."

Lu Xiaoya could be considered to have had a sudden inspiration, but Su Xinghui's eyes lit up. Since these finished wedding dresses couldn't satisfy Lu Xiaoya, why couldn't they design a few sets of clothes themselves? He was an artist, after all. Although he hadn't done the work of designing clothes, this work didn't seem to be very difficult, right?

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go home now, and I will design them."

The two returned home. Lu Zhenghong had already gone out. He was a Vice Governor, and he didn't know how busy his daily affairs were. Even on weekends, his schedule was fully packed, and it was impossible for him to stay at home all the time.

Song Qiaoli was at home. She smiled and said, "Aren't you going out to buy clothes? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Mom, Xiaoya is not very satisfied with the clothes in the shops. She said she wanted me to help her design a few sets of clothes, and then find a good tailor to make them."

Song Qiaoli's eyes also lit up and said, "This is a good idea. The clothes designed by Xinghui himself must be good-looking. What kind of clothes do you want to make?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "I want a wedding dress and a cheongsam. Xinghui needs to make two suits and two shirts."

Song Qiaoli said, "I do know a good tailor. He is over sixty years old this year, and many of the clothes of the big cadres in the province are made by him. His craftsmanship is very good, and I have also asked him to make clothes. I will take you to him to measure your figures. Xinghui, after you design the patterns, I will give the patterns to him and let him help you make them."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Mom, that's great. Then let's go find this tailor to measure our figures now."

Song Qiaoli then took the two of them out. That tailor lived not far from her crafts shop, in a small alley with few people. It was really a bit hard to find if you weren't a regular customer.

Su Xinghui asked, "Mom, why does this tailor live in such a remote place? Does he have business this way?"

Song Qiaoli said, "People's business relies on regular customers' introductions, and he doesn't rely on many customers to win at all. People rely on craftsmanship to win. The labor cost for him to make a set of clothes is worth half a month's salary for others. He focuses on slow work and fine results. If there are too many customers, he can't handle it either."

Su Xinghui nodded. People with real ability are mostly like this.
