Chapter 61 Zhu Lin: It's obviously my good taste
When I got home, I put down some of the things I bought.

Originally, Li Changhe wanted to ask Zhu Lin to come into the house and put on the cheongsam to try it out.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuxiu came back at this time.

Shen Yuxiu's return naturally disrupted Li Changhe's thoughts. When Zhu Lin saw Shen Yuxiu coming back, he found an excuse to go home.

It's one thing for two people to be alone together, but it's another thing for the future mother-in-law to stay here again after she comes back.

After Zhu Lin left, Li Changhe looked at Shen Yuxiu and asked curiously
"Mom, why are you back so early?"

When Shen Yuxiu saw the expressions of Zhu Lin and Li Changhe just now, she knew that the two of them were having a good time.

But these days, where else can she go if not home?

"It's almost the Spring Festival now, there's nothing to do at school, so everyone comes back early."

"I heard today that our school will probably have a three-day holiday for the Spring Festival, thanks to the Ministry of Coal."

Shen Yuxiu said as a matter of course, and brought back the good news of the holiday.

Nowadays, whether it is a factory, an office or a school, it is common for women to leave work early as long as they are not on the front line.

There are people picking up children, going home to cook, and so on, and everyone knows it tacitly.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, the Ministry of Coal has set a good example for some other departments.

Although the country has not issued any explicit document to continue the Spring Festival holiday, some departments have issued their own notices allowing their subordinate units to take holidays.

"By the way, Mom, I met Jun Cheng and Qing Yu today."

"My uncle and aunt also came back two months ago."

Li Changhe told Shen Yuxiu about what happened to Shen Juncheng.

After listening to this, Shen Yuxiu was slightly stunned, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Your uncle and his family are back too?"

Nowadays, relatives in cities generally have very good relationships. They all work for the government, have no conflicts of interest, and visit each other frequently.

Especially after the chaos of the past few years, being able to hear news about a brother in peace was good news for Shen Yuxiu.

"Well, I'll meet Jun Cheng the day after tomorrow, and I'll go to their house to see my uncle and aunt first."

Li Changhe has made an appointment with Shen Juncheng to meet the day after tomorrow, and then he will go to visit his distant uncle first.

Working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a great place!
"It's time to go check it out. It's been years since I last saw them. I don't know how they are doing."

Shen Yuxiu said with some emotion.

While Shen Yuxiu was chatting with Li Changhe, Zhu Lin also returned home.

When Zhu Lin returned home, no one was there.

Liu Shuwan is different from Shen Yuxiu. She is a doctor, not someone who has an idle job.

There was no one at home, so Zhu Lin closed the door and returned to her room. Then she took out two cheongsams from the bag and spread them on the bed.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Lin decided to try it on at home.

She had never worn a cheongsam before, but had seen it in photos at home.

She only wore dresses when she was a child, and after that she mainly wore green military uniforms.

She closed the door and gently took off her clothes. Zhu Lin looked at the two cheongsams on the bed and picked up the black one first.

There was a coat mirror in his room. After Zhu Lin got dressed, he stood in front of the coat mirror.

Looking at the ups and downs of her body in the mirror, Zhu Lin felt inexplicably shy.

She knew why Li Changhe insisted on buying her this kind of clothes.

I knew he had bad intentions.

How can I wear this kind of clothes outside?
This is too.
Although Zhu Lin was somewhat reluctant, he had to admit that the dress looked really good when he wore it and looked in the mirror.

"Forget it, I'll just wear it for him from now on."

It would be embarrassing to wear this dress outside, but if Li Changhe liked it, she would wear it at home for him to see.

Li Changhe didn't know at this moment that he was about to enjoy another huge wave of benefits.

Just as Zhu Lin was staring at the mirror in a daze, the sound of the door opening was heard outside, and then Liu Shuwan walked in.

"Linlin?"

After entering the door, she called out first, but when she heard no response, Liu Shuwan sighed.

"This girl is always hanging out with Li Changhe outside. It's really a waste of money to raise her."

Before he could finish complaining in his heart, Zhu Lin's door opened, and then Zhu Lin, wearing a black cheongsam, walked out slowly.

"You are at home."

"Wait, what are you wearing? Oh my God, who bought you this cheongsam?"

Looking at the slim-fitting cheongsam on Zhu Lin, Liu Shuwan's face changed and she hurried over.

In recent years, cheongsam has been banned and was only worn by the bourgeoisie in the Republic of China.

"Did Li Changhe buy this for you?" "How could he buy you this kind of clothes?"

Liu Shuwan said to Zhu Lin somewhat anxiously.

Seeing this, Zhu Lin smiled softly and said, "Mom, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Changhe bought it for me!"

“Guess where we bought it?”

"What are you still guessing about? Who dares to sell this kind of clothes now? Wait?"

Liu Shuwan reacted at this time.

She was so anxious just now that she was confused. Yes, who would dare to sell this kind of clothes these days?

"Don't worry, Mom. I bought this at a department store in Beijing. It's openly on the shelf."

"The salesperson said that this is sold by the government, and we won't care about that anymore."

Zhu Lin said to his mother comfortingly.

When Liu Shuwan heard this, she was still a little hesitant, but then she thought, unless the government allowed it, who would dare to sell such clothes?

"Did you really buy it at the Jingcheng Department Store?"

"Of course, they are all hanging there. This one was specially brought in from the Magic City. No tickets are required, but it's expensive!"

Zhu Lin nodded and said affirmatively.

"I'll touch it!"

Liu Shuwan believed it about 70% in her heart, walked up, touched Zhu Lin's sleeve, and nodded in admiration.

"Fine corduroy, this handmade stitching is really well made, it's not cheap."

Zhu Lin nodded: "There is also a silk one inside, for summer wear. I bought both of them together, and the total cost was 96!"

"96 yuan, a family of workers' monthly salary is not as much as the money for the clothes you are wearing."

"Not bad, this brat is at least not stingy and is willing to spend money on you."

Liu Shuwan nodded with satisfaction at this time.

Apart from anything else, the fact that he was willing to spend money on his daughter at least proved that Li Changhe was not a petty person.

Otherwise, if the two of you quarrel over trivial matters in the future, it would be strange if you can live a happy life.

"Don't worry about that. He doesn't feel bad about spending money."

"In his words, money is earned to be spent, and most of the quarrels between couples are over money."

Zhu Lin thought of the twisted logic that Li Changhe had told her, and couldn't help but tell it to her mother.

After listening to this, Liu Shuwan nodded in agreement: "What he said is not bad, but you should also watch him. A couple can't just spend money as soon as they have it. They still have to save money."

"Hey, you only said that Li Changhe wrote articles, do you know how much money he has saved?"

Liu Shuwan asked Zhu Lin curiously at this time.

"I know"

Zhu Lin answered subconsciously, then looked at Liu Shuwan.

"Mom, why are you asking this?"

"I'm just checking to see if you know this. Mom is thinking that when you get married, your dad and I will give you some more money so that you don't end up spending lavishly and end up living a tight life."

"No need for that. He has quite a lot of royalties. He still has about 4,000 yuan in his hand."

Zhu Lin didn't think much about it, but just said to Liu Shuwan casually.

"four thousand?"

When Liu Shuwan heard this number, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

"You mean, he has been writing for half a year and saved 4,000 yuan?"

Liu Shuwan asked again to confirm.

"Yes, originally it wasn't that much. It was mainly because his manuscript was going to be published as a book, and the publisher gave him a lot at once."

Li Changhe did not hide these from Zhu Lin. He had already told Zhu Lin when the two of them were chatting.

Four thousand yuan is definitely a huge sum of money in this era!
"Okay, okay! You see, mom had good taste. She fell in love with this boy at first sight."

"What do you mean? If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door."

Liu Shuwan felt inexplicably happy at this moment. She still felt that she had good taste and fell in love with Li Changhe at first sight.

After listening to this, Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked at his mother speechlessly, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Why don't you tell me that you dislike people for not going to work?

Is it because you have good taste?

It's obviously my good vision!
　Thanks to the three big guys, Gu Cen Yue Shang, Jiang Shan Ru Hua Jian Ru Ge, and book friend 20240406083607410, for their rewards. I bow in gratitude!
