The two of them had lunch at the hotel. After dinner, Gu Chen sent him home directly.
"What are you doing?" Shen Man saw this man leaving before he sat down.
Gu Chen thought to himself, I can't buy anything with you here, so just stay at home.
However, he still said: "Oh, buy some things needed for the house over there. You need to use soil to re-make the kang, and you also need to find someone."
When Shen Man heard that he couldn't help with these matters, he nodded and let him go.
It would be a hindrance if you go by yourself, so just stay here.
People in the Li family didn't go home for lunch when they were working and going to school. Looking at the empty house, she didn't feel interested.
While there was no one at home, Shen Man entered the space, wiped himself and put on clean clothes.
I washed the dirty clothes and hung them to dry.
I was sweating after sitting in the car all day yesterday, but it's not easy to take a shower here, so I had to clean it up while no one was around, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable.
After all, she was at someone else's house, so she put her close-fitting clothes in the space after washing, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to hang them outside.
Wait until you have time to take it out to dry. Anyway, it will look the same as just after washing.
As for other changes of clothes, there is plenty of space, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough to wear.
I'm afraid that if it takes too long, the scene will be too spectacular when drying...
After yawning, Shen Man lay down on the kang and took a nap.
…
Gu Chen took the shuttle bus directly after coming out of Li's house. He first went to the night market to find a few people to work, and then paid for all the work and materials.
There are many retired workers here who have nothing to do and want to make money to supplement their families, so they work in the night market.
It doesn’t mean that the night market is only open at night, it is also open during the day, but there are not as many people as at night.
After all, people at this time have to go to work during the day, so how can they have time to go out for a walk and buy things?
After doing this, Gu Chen exchanged some more coupons and went straight to the department store.
Looking at the dazzling array of ready-made clothes, I asked the salesperson before choosing.
A white and light pink plaid shirt and two pairs of black pants were purchased according to the sizes described by Chen Chen and recommended by the salesperson.
At this time, everyone has a similar body shape, so the recommended ones are not too different. You won’t be thin anyway, and it’s okay to be looser.
Gu Chen went to buy another pair of small black leather shoes. He was satisfied and spent more than a hundred yuan before walking back.
I spent money to feel comfortable, but I didn’t expect that I would still have this day...
It seems that the saying that if you have money to burn, it is true.
When Shen Man opened his eyes, the sun was already setting outside. Looking at the dim sunlight, he remembered that he was living in someone else's house now.
She woke up to refresh herself and went out to take a look.
In the yard, Gu Chen was playing with the tools he had bought and packed them all in a sack.
When he saw her coming out, he smiled and said, "Get up, I bought you new clothes, go try them on and see if they fit you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Man suddenly felt speechless.
So speechless!
"Didn't you say you didn't want to buy it? How did you buy it?" She said in a very helpless tone.
It's not that she's being pretentious and doesn't want other people's things, but she really feels that she's tacky.
Shen Man also thought about buying some fabrics in the future and finding an experienced tailor to make them. After all, you can have your own requirements for making clothes.
The ready-made clothes in department stores are not only expensive, but also unsightly.
Gu Chen thought she was worried about money, so he said: "It's okay. I bought everything and it can't be returned. Let's wear it first."
It was already like this, and Shen Man had no choice but to try on clothes. There was no choice in size, but this light pink plaid shirt was quite pleasant.
Village girl...
Today's pink is not the Barbie pink of later generations, but water pink, with small grids and looks a bit like sheets or curtains.
"It's so beautiful!" Gu Chen looked at it happily, thinking that it really looks good no matter what he wears.
After hearing this, Shen Man looked back at him and asked hesitantly: "Really good-looking? Why don't I believe it?"
Black trousers are okay and can be matched with nothing wrong, but the top is just average and the color is not good-looking.
She felt that her ability to accept it had become worse. Before, she said she could just wear some clothes. How long had it been?
Gu Chen nodded seriously, "It's really beautiful. If you don't believe me, wait until my uncle and the others come back tonight and ask them."
"Come on!" Upon hearing this, Shen Man quickly waved his hands, "I'm embarrassed to ask."
Time passed quickly as the two chatted and laughed. Li Jinyuan came back with Wang Chunying today.
The next two children also came home from school, and there was no difference of five minutes between them.
"Auntie." Gu Chen called out and asked, "Do you think Xiaoman's new clothes look good?"
Shen Man was extremely embarrassed, sitting there with a forced smile, her feet were dug out of the three rooms and one living room.
Oh my God, I really asked!
Wang Chunying noticed it as soon as she entered the door and said with a smile: "It's good-looking. Xiaoman is good-looking. She looks good no matter what she wears."
This sentence contains three beautiful words that are not stingy at all in praise.
Gu Chen seemed unable to see Shen Man's embarrassment and gave her a look as if to say: Look, I just said it looks good, right?
Shen Man: (?_?) I heard that I thank you...
Because we agreed yesterday that we were going to eat charcoal hot pot today, Wang Chunying didn't buy any groceries. We all packed up and went out together.
Six people are quite a lot at once, and it’s very lively even when you go out and take the shuttle bus.
When we came to Chengzhong District, Shen Man passed by here before and saw a charcoal hotpot restaurant.
The name is Jicheng Hotel. It has three floors. It really looks like a grand hotel, and it feels very grand.
After entering the room, Li Jinyuan said hello to the manager. It seemed that he came here often and everyone seemed to be acquaintances.
The manager arranged a private room for them on the second floor. The six of them could sit there without being crowded. The windows were opened for ventilation. In addition to the aroma of food, there was a strong smell of wine in the room.
There were a lot of people sitting in the lobby downstairs. It seemed like the restaurant tasted pretty good.
Otherwise, no matter how big the hotel is, there won't be many people coming to eat.
Li Jinyuan skillfully ordered several plates of beef and mutton, and then handed the menu to Shen Man.
There are waiters in this private room, as well as in the lobby downstairs. This place is much better than ordinary state-owned hotels, and the service attitude is also good.
Shen Man didn't take the menu and said, "I can eat anything. There is nothing I won't eat. Just take your pick."
She is indeed not picky about food, as long as it is not particularly unpalatable, she can take two bites.
Eat more if you like it, eat less if you don't like it.
Seeing this, Li Jinyuan looked at Gu Chen, "Then you order a couple of dishes for her."
Gu Chen took a look at the menu and didn't know what to order, so he casually ordered two plates of meat.
Good guy, before I even ordered this dish, I already ordered six kilograms of meat.
That's right, a plate of meat is a pound, and things at this time are not measured in grams.
Hot pot restaurants in later generations all had the above-mentioned name, and a serving weighed several hundred grams.
Wang Chunying ordered a green vegetable and tofu, and that was it.
The charcoal hot pot at this time was a copper pot with a few pieces of charcoal burning under it, and there was no chili in the bottom of the clear soup pot.
But even so, this meal is considered top-notch in Jicheng.
