Chapter 538

"You reminded me of that."

Li Guangnian was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, watching Li Xuewu and Gu Ning walk in.

The surprise and fear in Gu Ning's eyes made Li Guangnian raise his eyebrows.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this, looked at the coffin in the shed pretentiously, and said, "Your funeral arrangements aren't very good. I happen to have a few high-quality coffins on hand, and the color is also very special. Do you want to consider it?"

Li Guangnian was already used to Li Xuewu's disrespectful way of speaking to the elderly. He wouldn't believe that Li Xuewu really had any coffins on hand.

Because no one would believe that a deputy division-level cadre would do the business of selling coffins, unless he was a fool.

The old man was obviously not a fool, and he wasn't angry at Li Xuewu who was trying to deceive him by treating him as a fool.

This young man is a deputy division chief, but Li Xuewu didn't come with this identity today, nor did he come to handle official business.

Li Xuewu was just an ordinary young man, common in Beijing, with a sharp tongue, twenty years old.

So he didn't feel anything, because he was infinitely used to this way of speaking, which was exactly the most common way of speaking for the old and young men in Beijing daily.

This is called chatting about nothing!

Of course, this doesn't include those particular people.

Li Xuewu, this social bandit, of course knows what to say to whom. This old man is an old Beijing resident who has seen the world but has no culture.

If you talk to him in a literary way, you can choke him, and don't talk about those poor and particular flowery things, because this old man must have seen more than you.

He may not be able to explain the truth in it as clearly as you, but he knows that what you say is meaningless to him.

Just like when an expert appraised a painting, no matter how it was identified, it was real, but Puyi insisted it was fake.

The expert asked how do you know it's fake?

Puyi said this is our family's! I look at it every day and I'm tired of it. I don't know if it's real or fake?

Of course, the original words must not be like this, maybe more damaging than this.

So Li Xuewu would never pretend to know how much he knows in front of these old people; that would only make these old guys watch him play treasure, and despise his childishness in their hearts.

He only teases what these old people understand, what they care about, and grabs the lifeblood of these old people and punches them hard.

However, this kind of operation will instead make these old people pay attention to him, be annoyed by him, and also like him.

Gu Ning watched Li Xuewu bickering with this old man who was dressed strangely, and unknowingly thought of what Zhou Ya said at home.

He always has a way to make others like him.

The reason Gu Ning said the old man was dressed strangely was because Li Guangnian was now wearing the burial clothes he prepared for himself.

Anyone who sees an old guy walking around wearing burial clothes would think it's strange.

Just when Li Xuewu was about to comment on his clothes, Li Guangnian had lost his patience.

"Fine, fine, fine."

Li Guangnian waved his hand, admitted defeat to Li Xuewu, and said, "I know, you are successful, you are very good, and you have such a good wife, no need to show off to me."

This is why Li Xuewu is harsh to these old people; they can always find the right position to crit you.

Li Xuewu was very calm now, pointed at the clothes on the old man and asked, "Not going to change? You'll get heat rash later."

The old man nodded and said, "Not afraid of heat rash, I'm afraid of heatstroke."

While taking Li Xuewu into the courtyard, he muttered, "I know you definitely won't save me."

"You're also thinking too much."

Li Xuewu had an expression of 'you guessed it,' smiled at Gu Ning, and followed into the courtyard.

Gu Ning didn't feel scared anymore with Li Xuewu by her side, but still followed Li Xuewu's footsteps into the courtyard.

The old man took Li Xuewu and the two into the main room living room, pointed at the round chair and said, "Sit first."

After speaking, he ignored Li Xuewu and the two, and went straight into the inner room.

Different from the design of the inner room door in general families, the door of this old man's room was set in a position close to the inside, which seemed a bit secret.

Li Xuewu looked at the furnishings in the room; it was very simple, but also very complicated.

It's simple because there aren't many things in the house, including radios and other trendy items, only tables, chairs, benches, vases, and small tables.

It's not simple because the placement of these things is very particular, showing the owner's folk culture heritage everywhere.

Maybe it's the kind of simple but not simple meaning advertised in later generations.

The house doesn't look dead like Li Xuewu imagined, but is set off by the green plants on the small table, which is very quiet.

This doesn't match Old Li's temperament.

No sloppiness, no special smell of the elderly, and no style of loneliness and decay.

After Gu Ning entered the room, she sat next to Li Xuewu. Her mood calmed down. Seeing this old man, and then looking at the situation in the house, she didn't feel nervous when she thought of the coffin in the courtyard.

This is a helplessness of old age, and also a stubbornness of loneliness.

She felt that this old man must not be like what Li Xuewu said, having arranged his funeral affairs clearly.

What this old man seeks is nothing more than not having the street people pull him away to burn him directly, preparing his own way, and reducing trouble for others.

"How many sets to make?"

The old man came out of the inner room wearing a long gown and jacket. Without that creepy clothes, he now looked a bit spirited.

"I don't suggest you go and set the person to carry the coffin now."

Li Xuewu looked at the old man's spirit, smiled and said, "I doubt they will live longer than you."

"It's okay, I'll definitely find you when the time comes."

The old man's mouth was also damaging, implying that Li Xuewu was very good at arguing.

Li Xuewu smiled, nodded indifferently, and then said, "Although you think my question is very nonsense, I still want to ask you, what kind of clothes can you make, or what kind of clothes do you suggest we should make?"

"Understood."

The old man nodded, indicating he understood Li Xuewu's meaning.

"If it's a wedding, in summer, um..."

The old man thought for a while and said, "This kind of formal occasion must be set from the shirt."

After saying this, the old man turned his head to look at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is it inappropriate for me to discuss the twelve types of collars for shirts with you?"

Li Xuewu looked at the old man who despised him in his professional field speechlessly, and retorted, "Just like I discuss with you how to shoot an old man without letting him die immediately?"

The old man looked at Li Xuewu with some shock, then looked at Gu Ning and asked, "So it's more appropriate for me to discuss with you, what should I call you, girl?"

Gu Ning looked at the expressionless Li Xuewu, couldn't help but squint her eyes. She now wanted to discuss with Li Xuewu the topic of how to stab an expressionless fiancé who is actually pretending to hide that she doesn't know tailoring knowledge with a scalpel without letting him die.

"Hello, my name is Gu Ning."

Gu Ning nodded and said calmly, "My knowledge of tailoring is limited to watching my mother use needles and thread to mend clothes, and I haven't operated it myself."

The old man nodded, pondered for a while, turned to Li Xuewu and said, "You are very well matched."

"I thank you!"

Li Xuewu stood up and tried the thermos. Since this old man didn't know the way of hospitality, he couldn't treat himself badly.

The old man pointed to the drawer under the tea cabinet and said, "There is tea there, help me make a cup too."

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at the impolite old man, and seeing that he had started discussing with Gu Ning, he consciously searched for tea.

After he made the tea and brought it over, the old man had already started drawing sketches for Gu Ning with paper and pen.

Seriously, women do have talent in mastering the skill of tailoring, but this doesn't include Gu Ning.

After the old man talked for a while, he also discovered this point, so he changed his thinking, drew the styles that could be made and were suitable for Li Xuewu, and let Gu Ning and Li Xuewu choose.

Gu Ning's clothes were all bought in stores, so naturally they didn't look so well-fitting, and there weren't many styles to choose from.

Now a tailor drew sketches for them to choose, which made Gu Ning a bit dazzled.

Tailoring is definitely not a simple profession, and it is not a skill that anyone can master.

Otherwise, Paris wouldn't have families, and the Champs-Élysées would just be an ordinary street full of filth.

Although Li Xuewu had no talent for fashion design, he had an eye beyond this era.

In the discussion process, he was the main force talking and deciding with the old man.

Finally, they decided on his clothes including shirts, jackets, Zhongshan suits, etc., and various clothes for Gu Ning including women's shirts, jackets, skirts, etc.

Following the rules of the tailor at this time, the old man asked Li Xuewu whether the clothing materials were self-prepared or unifiedly purchased by him.

Of course, the old man also explained first that cloth is hard to buy now, and he is someone without a unit, so his purchasing ability is limited.

Li Xuewu looked at the old man and asked what kind of cloth was needed, including patterns, etc.

Finally, it was decided that Li Xuewu would prepare the cloth himself.

Gu Ning didn't feel that there was anything she cared about in Li Xuewu deciding this kind of thing, and she didn't argue with Li Xuewu about the money for the cloth.

However, the feeling of this kind of professional custom-made clothing was indeed much more comfortable than buying it in a clothing store herself.

Of course, she didn't know that ordinary tailors wouldn't invite her to drink tea while patiently introducing styles or giving her suggestions.

Old Man Li hadn't made clothes for outsiders for a long time, and he was too lazy to do it himself.

This time it was because he wanted to return Li Xuewu's favor, although Li Xuewu and Li Guangnian didn't mention it.

However, Li Guangnian wouldn't be stupid enough to think that he was lucky to avoid the danger of having those precious clothes confiscated once.

And he wouldn't think that Li Xuewu was such a lofty person who took the initiative to help him avoid the predicament of being humiliated at such an old age.

So when Li Xuewu proposed to ask him to make clothes, Li Guangnian didn't refuse, nor did he say that he had retired from the world.

Because Li Xuewu didn't care if he had retired, didn't care about his antiques, and didn't care about his identity and his actions that looked like squandering to neighbors.

Equal respect is the exchange basis that both have defaulted to.

Li Xuewu helps him settle the predicament, and he helps Li Xuewu make clothes, doing his best.

After agreeing on the time to send the cloth, Li Xuewu took Gu Ning and left this small courtyard that looked decadent on the outside but was actually very clean on the inside.

"You really can find things."

After getting in the car, Gu Ning couldn't help but praise Li Xuewu.

Of course, this kind of praise still carried Gu Ning's teasing of Li Xuewu as a social bandit.

Li Xuewu was very happy with Gu Ning's tone; at least he could see that Gu Ning's personality was changing because of him.

Initially, he didn't like Gu Ning more because he didn't want to cause trouble, and didn't want to endure an ice block while causing trouble.

Being so awesome, can you still let others bully you?

Of course, after being shot, he knew he was still a person, not a god.

So feeling the mother-in-law's special concern, and the look in Gu Ning's eyes secretly watching him outside the hospital door, he decided to experience the love of cultivation.

Li Xuewu was already prepared for a protracted war. However, Gu Ning was not the kind of stubborn personality, nor was she the inherent thinking of this era.

It can be said that Gu Ning could understand most of his jokes and understand his thinking mode.

Li Xuewu would rather believe that the two had compatible auras than be considered sympathetic.

"This is nothing."

Li Xuewu drove home, looked at his watch; it was already mealtime. If he missed the time, he was afraid he would be scolded.

"I also know a cobbler, so you don't have to try the shoes. I know the shoe size and foot shape."

Gu Ning squinted at Li Xuewu, without any intention of thanking Li Xuewu.

Because she thought of the time in Steel City when this bad guy touched her feet.

Although she was condemning Li Xuewu in her heart, Gu Ning didn't notice that many of her behaviors and language styles were slowly fitting Li Xuewu.

Just like squinting and raising eyebrows.

She would absolutely not do this kind of frivolous action before, but now she would do it when she was with Li Xuewu.

However, this was mostly "presumptuous" only when she was with Li Xuewu. At home and at work, she was still the ice beauty who was used to being calm.

"Why are you back so late~"

Just when Li Xuewu parked the car at the courtyard gate, Liu Yin, who couldn't help but come out to check, still complained.

"Went to order clothes."

Perhaps Gu Ning was in a much better mood, so she took the initiative to explain to her future mother-in-law, which also saved Li Xuewu from being blamed by his mother before the meal.

Liu Yin naturally wouldn't blame Gu Ning. Hearing this explanation, she nodded with satisfaction, but then frowned and nodded when looking at her son.

Li Xuewu tilted his mouth, didn't explain or complain; he had the lowest status in this situation.

But fortunately, his mother-in-law still cared about him. Seeing Li Xuewu come in, she asked, "Are things handled?"

"Yes."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to report the process of visiting Zhang Shuting and Yu Huaiyou, and briefly talked about the matter of ordering clothes with Gu Ning.

What Ding Fengxia was most satisfied with Li Xuewu was this calmness and ability, not letting her daughter worry about anything, and handling everything in an orderly manner.

Although she told Liu Yin not to spoil Gu Ning and let Liu Yin, the mother-in-law, discipline her.

But she loved her own daughter; how could she bear to let Gu Ning suffer here.

If it weren't for Gu Haitao's denial, she would have wanted to arrange the family's chef and waiter here.

Li Xuewu naturally understood a mother's love, so he was very patient with Ding Fengxia's inquiry.

Ding Fengxia was also fond of this son-in-law, urging Li Xuewu to wash up while asking about the details of the clothes and other things.

Liu Yin and the old lady saw the in-laws handing towels to Li Xuewu and Gu Ning who had finished washing up, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

All of this was seen by Mu Hongyan. She hadn't paid attention to Li Xuewu all day today, and in her heart, she scolded Li Xuewu miserably.

She felt even more unworthy for her lover to give clothes to Li Xuewu; this bad guy lived up to the Gu family's kindness to him.

However, she was a bit awkward at this moment, because it was fine for her mother-in-law to be good to Li Xuewu, after all, she was bewitched by Li Xuewu.

But why was Gu Ning's contrast today so big compared to yesterday?

She didn't think it was good for her sister-in-law to be sad and upset all the time, but today she could already smile and get along with Li Xuewu's family.

This not only made her think of herself; she was also like this when facing her mother-in-law.

It must be, her sister-in-law must have been bullied by Li Xuewu, and there was no other way, so she could only endure the pain and pretend to be calm.

The more she felt this way, the more hateful Mu Hongyan found Li Xuewu.

However, she wasn't the protagonist today, nor was she Gu Ning's elder. With her mother-in-law there, there was no reason for her to be in charge.

So Mu Hongyan decided to endure and not speak, just like what her sister-in-law said, her affairs should be solved by herself.

But there must be a limit.

Li Xuewu knew why Mu Hongyan was angry with him, so he didn't provoke this sister-in-law again, so the subsequent dinner didn't touch Mu Hongyan's limit.

Because Liu Yin prepared meat filling, the staple food was dumplings.

Zhou Ya also had arrangements early, so apart from dumplings, there were green onion eggs, stir-fried dried lentils, cold potato shreds, braised carp, stewed tofu, and meat-fried mushrooms on the table.

Fortunately, the table in the restaurant was big enough, so they squeezed and sat down.

This was also because Li Xuewu wanted to coax Li Shu, and Fu Zhidong didn't sit at the table, holding his own small bowl and sitting on the sofa for rest, eating at the coffee table.

Li Shu saw everyone at the table, eating and drinking lively, naturally dissatisfied.

However, her father was accompanying her by her side, so she could only point at the table with her small finger, and said two sentences to her father babblingly.

Today was a special day, and the old lady and Liu Yin both sat at the table to accompany Ding Fengxia, so Li Xuewu took the initiative to accompany his daughter.

Seeing his daughter anxious at this moment, he smiled and held her to the kitchen to look around, brought back a few pieces of egg in a small bowl, and fed her with chopsticks bit by bit.

Li Shu was satisfied when she had something to eat, but her eyes were still looking at the table, she still preferred the liveliness over there.

Ding Fengxia smiled when she saw her son-in-law taking care of the child, said something to Liu Yin beside her, and they both laughed.

Gu Ning wasn't so comfortable at the table, because whether it was her mother or the Li family, they would look at her more or less.

So she ate a few bites quickly, put down her chopsticks, greeted the elders, and got up to take Li Shu beside Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and asked, "Why not eat more?"

Gu Ning shook her head and said, "Full, give me the child."

Li Xuewu knew that Gu Ning was still a bit uncomfortable in such a crowded occasion, so he didn't say anything more, gave the little devil to Gu Ning, and went to Gu Ning's position just now, took the wine bottle and poured a round of wine for his mother-in-law and grandfather and others.

Perhaps it was because they were happy today, perhaps because they saw Li Xuewu and Gu Ning both grown up, and because Li Xuewu and Gu Ning's attitude towards the child made everyone feel more at ease and happy. With good food, everyone who could drink raised their glasses.

Especially after Li Xuewu sat at the table, he frequently toasted, which also raised the atmosphere at the table a lot.

The elders were naturally happy with Li Xuewu's changes and growth, and even happier that two people with very different personalities could get along very well.

From the situation of taking care of Li Shu, Ding Fengxia felt that Li Xuewu could be so patient with the child, so he could also be patient with her daughter.

Liu Yin and Li Shun felt that Gu Ning could be so considerate of Li Xuewu and take care of Li Shu, so Gu Ning must be a good daughter-in-law.

Li Shun stared after being toasted by his son twice, but the action of drinking it all showed that he was in a very good mood today, and he had a feeling that he was about to be fulfilled.

But looking at the third child who was also drinking with a wine glass, he couldn't help but stare again.

The feeling of fulfillment instantly dissipated.

Li Xuewu naturally couldn't feel his father's mood. While toasting the elders and family, he didn't forget to toast Zhou Ya.

Today, entertaining the families of both sides, Zhou Ya made great contributions, and the table of dishes alone was worth Li Xuewu's toast.

Zhou Ya also took this opportunity to bless Li Xuewu and Gu Ning.

Taking advantage of this convenient time, Li Xuewu also implicitly introduced Zhou Ya's care for him and Gu Ning to everyone.

Li Shun knew about it early, so he wasn't too surprised. Others who didn't hear clearly were also half-understanding.

Only Mu Hongyan looked at Li Xuewu with surprise. She really didn't expect that Li Xuewu, like her sister-in-law, was sick.

Yes, what normal person could do such a thing~

After eating and drinking, a group of women reached out to help Zhou Ya tidy up the kitchen.

The only woman who didn't participate was the eldest sister-in-law Zhao Yafang, because she was in confinement and couldn't bend over or get tired.

Li Xuewu found tea from the tea cabinet and made tea for everyone one by one.

It was Li Xue who saw her second brother busy, took the initiative to come over to serve tea and pour water, and got a big smile from Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't blame his third brother for not knowing how to help, because the kid drank a bit too much, his face was red, and he was sitting in the chair in a daze.

"The garden is well taken care of."

Grandfather looked at Li Xue who served tea with a smile, and said to Li Xuewu who walked over.

Li Xuewu also smiled and replied, "Sister Zhou helped take care of it, saying that she could save a lot of vegetable money in the autumn."

Li Shun nodded and said, "That's the truth."

While speaking, he turned his head to look at Da Lao and said, "There are still some places in the third child's courtyard, plant some things later."

This might be the influence of the national planting gene; Li Shun had long wanted to plant some vegetables in the courtyard.

Yan Fugui's family opposite planted vegetables with flower pots every year, which could save a little.

This made Li Shun and Liu Yin, who were diligent and thrifty, mention it several times, but there were no so many flower pots at home, and no such large place, so they had to give up.

Li Xuewu pointed at Lao Biaozi who was sitting on the side and said, "There is a piece of land on the mountain, planted with some vegetables. Biaozi will bring them home in the summer, don't waste that effort."

Li Shun looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Eating vegetables is so troublesome, how can it be as practical as planting at the door."

Li Xuewen frowned and said, "Dad, listen to Xuewu, it's not very appropriate."

Because of Zhao Yafang's influence, Li Xuewen had also been reading newspapers recently and understood a lot about the current situation.

Especially about the cultural field.

The vocabulary derived from culture is not very pleasant to hear, especially at this time. Some things look like nothing, but actually they are small pigtails.

Seeing that both his eldest son and second son opposed it, Li Shun also thought of something.

He drank a lot of wine today, but his brain wasn't confused. He nodded understandingly and didn't continue this topic.

Liu Yin and the others finished tidying up and came out, and the living room became lively again.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning accompanied everyone to chat for a while, then were urged by his mother to go out shopping.

This was what Li Xuewu said earlier, because they were getting married and hadn't bought anything for Gu Ning, so it was set for today to go shopping.

The two families were going to chat for a while at the villa, but Li Xuewu had long arranged for Lao Biaozi to help, so after greeting, he took Gu Ning and went out again.

"Let's go see the cloth first, then go shopping for other things."

Li Xuewu took Gu Ning to the Wangfujing Department Store he encountered by chance here. There were many things here, and they were complete.

Gu Ning had no opinion, as if fulfilling a task, treating this kind of shopping as an obligation that must be fulfilled before marriage.

Because she didn't like this crowded environment, and didn't like shopping.

Li Xuewu knew this about her, so he didn't intend to torture Gu Ning, and took her to the cloth counter facing the main hall on the first floor with a clear purpose.

There were many patterns and types of cloth here. Li Xuewu remembered the materials and specific data Li Guangnian gave him, so it wasn't difficult to choose.

The salesperson also liked Li Xuewu's kind, no need to talk nonsense to explain, no need to talk nonsense to introduce.

This five chi, that ten chi, Li Xuewu chose the ones he didn't have on hand, told the salesperson the size, and the salesperson measured it quickly with a yellow wooden ruler.

After measuring, she opened a mouth with scissors and tore it open with her hand with a 'gaz' sound.

Folded the cut cloth and put it aside, then went to measure the next material Li Xuewu wanted.

The salesperson was so efficient completely because Li Xuewu slapped the cloth coupons on the counter first, otherwise she wouldn't be so quick.

"Let's go, go upstairs and see."

After buying the cloth, Li Xuewu temporarily deposited these at the counter and took Gu Ning upstairs to the second floor.

Gu Ning followed behind, looked at the people in the mall, and asked Li Xuewu, "What are you buying?"

"For the wedding."

Li Xuewu replied to Gu Ning while climbing the stairs, "I always feel like something is missing."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Nothing is missing, it's fine to go home and get it if it's urgently needed."

I don't know if it was to avoid trouble or to save trouble, Gu Ning's way of dealing with the lack of things was to go home and get them.

In her concept, both sides were home, and everything she could use and control was normal no matter where she got it.

Li Xuewu didn't intend to correct Gu Ning's concept immediately, because when she realized this gap, it would be the time when she was confused and sad.

"Are you buying a watch?"

When Gu Ning followed Li Xuewu to the watch counter, she looked at Li Xuewu with some surprise.

Because she knew Li Xuewu had a watch.

Li Xuewu nodded, didn't answer, but lowered his head and looked at the glass counter.

At this time, there were few watch styles. Simply put, it was a large round piece and a large steel chain piece.

This also had to do with people's aesthetics at this time, and also with usage habits. What was emphasized was sturdiness and durability.

Li Xuewu tried his best to choose two very similar watches in the counter, including brand and shape, dial and appearance.

However, the difference was that one watch was large and one was small.

Li Xuewu also wanted to buy couple watches directly, but there was no such concept at this time. Whether it was the manufacturer or the mall, they didn't put forward the concept of couple watches as a marketing idea.

Thanks to the simplicity of the watch styles at the current time, this kind of matching wasn't difficult.

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Gu Ning and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Are you buying two?"

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, then looked at the watches in the counter.

"Sima, Swiss-made mechanical watch, thinner than domestic ones, all-steel shockproof."

The salesperson also saw that the two were not short of money, because both were dressed quite neatly today.

Especially Li Xuewu was wearing a Sima watch on his hand, and now it looked like two, so she took the initiative to introduce it.

"This kind of watch strap not only has a steel chain, but also a leather one, said to be crocodile."

The salesperson introduced it to Li Xuewu with an indifferent and unguaranteed tone. The attitude couldn't be said to be bad, because the salesperson in the mall was much better than elsewhere.

Gu Ning looked at the dial; it was the white background common at this time, with patterns in the round dial, and golden Roman numerals on the outer dial.

Mechanical watches at this time were not popular for hollowing out the dial to let you see the structure inside, so when choosing, it was mostly looking at the style.

"I have a watch."

Gu Ning looked at this one, raised her head and said to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu smiled, said to the salesperson who lost patience after hearing Gu Ning's words, "Help me take the two watches out, let's try them. If they are suitable, please help us change them to leather watch straps."

The salesperson looked at Li Xuewu with some surprise. She thought that this female youth said she had one, so they wouldn't buy it.

It seems they really aren't short of money.

"This men's one is 160, this women's one is 150."

The salesperson didn't say anything else, just reported the price, and then looked at Li Xuewu, waiting for Li Xuewu's decision.

This meant, I can take it, but not for free. You consider the money in your pocket first, don't take it out and you can't afford it.

Li Xuewu nodded very firmly, indicating it was okay.

He didn't care about the salesperson's attitude at all, because if you care about this, you don't have to go out.

Look for it all over Beijing, except for special stores, basically this is the service attitude, or even worse.

Seeing Li Xuewu insist, the salesperson opened the cabinet door and took out the two watches.

Li Xuewu took the initiative to take the women's one and helped Gu Ning put it on.

"Thinking about it, I still owe you a token of love before the wedding."

Gu Ning let Li Xuewu help her put on the watch, but didn't expect to hear Li Xuewu say this sentence.

At this moment, regardless of the salesperson standing opposite as a light bulb, Gu Ning raised her head and looked into Li Xuewu's eyes.

Li Xuewu had never seen the light in Gu Ning's eyes like this before, and he was very sure he could read the meaning in Gu Ning's eyes.

"I'm sure."

"Hmm."

Gu Ning nodded, lowered her head to look at the watch on her wrist, shook it, and felt very satisfied.

Maybe it was because he worked hard to choose it at the counter, maybe it was because he also chose a matching one.

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at the salesperson who was watching the fun, and said with a smile, "Hard work, we'll take them."

"Okay."

The salesperson was also straightforward, issued a ticket for the two watches, collected Li Xuewu's money and coupons, and then took the watches and two boxes to the watch repair place at one end.

"Your month's salary is gone just like that."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and said in a light tone.

Li Xuewu turned his head and blinked his left eye, whispering, "Don't talk about salary outside in the future. People who don't believe it will say we are bragging, and those who believe it will make people jealous."

Gu Ning pursed her lips, but was still amused by Li Xuewu and smiled.

Indeed, at this time, not many people would believe the salary of over 300, especially a young man like Li Xuewu.

The nature of society determined that the money earned by young people wouldn't be too much, even for college students.

Li Xuewu didn't dare to say he was a college student; his college was like playing.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

Li Xuewu asked, "If you can ask for leave, let's go get the certificate tomorrow morning."

"I was just thinking about telling you."

Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and said, "Maybe it will be Tuesday, there is surgery on Monday."

Li Xuewu tilted his head, nodded indifferently. This wasn't a TV show, missing it for a while wouldn't mean missing a lifetime.

Delaying a day wouldn't do anything, so Li Xuewu nodded very straightforwardly.

"Then Tuesday morning, I'll come to pick you up."

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand and asked, "Want to go see jewelry in a while?"

"No."

Gu Ning shook her head and said to Li Xuewu, "I don't like wearing those things, don't buy them, and I can't wear them at work."

What Gu Ning said about not being able to wear them at work wasn't that doctors couldn't wear rings and earrings, but that they couldn't wear them during surgery.

Especially rings. Even this watch bought by Li Xuewu was because it was a token of love, otherwise she wouldn't wear it either.

So Gu Ning was plain-faced, without any decorations, let alone gold or silver things.

It's not that people wouldn't wear jewelry because the era was simple. Old ladies wore bracelets, women wore ear money, and no one said anything about this.

Not wearing it was because there was no money to buy it. Those who had money also wore good things and jewelry.

Li Xuewu understood and nodded, "Knew you didn't like it, I was just asking casually, trying my luck."

Gu Ning pursed her lips, looked at Li Xuewu and found that there was no disappointed expression on his face, but rather some relief.

Seeing Gu Ning staring at him, Li Xuewu smiled, "If you really want to go shopping, the money on me is definitely enough, but there isn't a single coupon."

Gu Ning pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing, and turned to look at the salesperson who walked over.

"The watch strap has been changed."

The salesperson put the watch on the box and pushed it over, and urged, "The metal watch chain is in the box. If you come to change it again, you will be charged a handling fee."

Li Xuewu of course wouldn't expect a service like free replacement of watch straps for life; he didn't eat anything bad.

Picked up the women's watch and signaled to Gu Ning. Gu Ning pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Li Xuewu like a childish ghost, but still handed over her wrist.

Li Xuewu very seriously helped Gu Ning put on the watch, then deliberately held Gu Ning's palm and shook it, as if checking if the watch was worn properly.

Gu Ning just watched Li Xuewu holding her hand and shaking it, while the salesperson standing opposite was standing there with an expression of being stuffed with dog food and feeling very uncomfortable.

He had never seen such a shameless person.

Li Xuewu also felt the disgusted look from the salesperson, so he had to let go of Gu Ning's hand, put his own watch into the bag, and put on the new one.

Just when he was about to take Gu Ning away, Li Xuewu saw the salesperson rolling her eyes, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Do you give away watch strap care oil?"

The salesperson was startled by Li Xuewu's sudden turn, then heard this and looked at Li Xuewu with disbelief, then it was a big roll of eyes.

That meant: Are you crazy? We are polite enough to sell you a watch, and you actually want me to give you watch strap care oil for free?

Li Xuewu of course didn't want any care oil, but just deliberately scared her.

Gu Ning saw that Li Xuewu was deliberately naughty, and reached out to pull him.

Knowing that Li Xuewu wasn't a person who would make trouble, this was teasing her, deliberately making trouble with the salesperson, so that she would take the initiative to talk to him to stop him from doing so.

However, looking at Li Xuewu's good performance today, Gu Ning chose to give him this face.

Li Xuewu, who had face, was indeed sensible, took the cloth he deposited from the first-floor counter, and walked in front to open the gate for Gu Ning.

Gu Ning kept smiling; it can be said that today was a very happy day for the two to be alone.

It's not that they haven't been alone before, but today was fulfilling and happy.

Maybe this is the reason why women love shopping to relieve sorrow, bags cure all diseases?

"Want to go to the bookstore?"

Li Xuewu put the things in the back seat, looked at the time after getting in the car, and asked Gu Ning.

He knew that Gu Ning still liked bookstores.

"Better not."

Gu Ning looked at the watch on her wrist uncomfortably. Just now the server had set the time, and it was already past three o'clock unknowingly.

"Go back and see."

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu nodded, knowing that Gu Ning was worried about the family. Li Xuewu also understood that there was no reason to leave the parents of both sides at home while the two were happy outside.

When driving back to the villa, he found that the car at the gate was gone, and the gate was closed, obviously both families had left.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning got off the car and entered the courtyard, but saw no one in the hall, and Zhou Ya had just walked down the stairs.

"You're back~"
