Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 230 Changing Prospects
The wooden house was not big, but it was neatly kept. When everyone entered the house with Sanjiang Shui in their arms, they immediately saw Li Chunmei sitting on the edge of the bed and the little girl sitting next to her.

Today, Li Chunmei is dressed very beautifully, with short bangs, a phoenix hairpin in her hair, and a bright red bridal gown, looking gentle and elegant.

Chinese people are very particular about good intentions, and marriage is a great joy in life, so they are even more particular about it. When a woman gets married, she wears a skirt and a coat as the main dress. The word "skirt" is homophonic to the word "group", which means that children gather in groups. The skirts and coats are often embroidered with gold and silver threads with auspicious patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, flowers and birds, which represent the blessing of dragons and phoenixes, and eternal marriage.

Compared to the wedding dress, Ang Lee feels that the bride's skirt and gown have more meaning.

But behind the changes in trends are changes in concepts and aesthetics. The styles of skirts and gowns are mainly wide robes with large sleeves, while the styles of wedding dresses are slim and can better show off the figure.

"Yiya."

Sanjiang Shui walked up to the mother and daughter and called the little girl.

The little girl looked at the people entering the room and timidly said:
"uncle."

"It's time to change your tune now."

Sanjiang Shui spoke softly.

The delicate-looking girl covered her mouth and chuckled. She turned around and came to the bedside. She took out a pair of red embroidered shoes from the neatly stacked quilt and handed it to Sanjiang Shui.

Li An nodded in agreement.

Li Chunmei reminded her in a low voice as thin as a mosquito. The candlelight of the dragon and phoenix candles on the table beside her made her face turn red.

Only then did Sanjiang Shui realize that Li Chunmei was not wearing shoes. She immediately realized what she was doing and couldn't help but look at Lin Zhaodi aside.

Holding a red umbrella and throwing rice, we walked out of the squatter area along the trail.

"Now, here you go."

"Sister."

"Of course."

Lin Zhaodi glanced at him without any embarrassment and signaled to the girl with bangs next to her.

"Can't you be humble?"

"A'an is still discerning and knowledgeable."

Lin Zhaodi took the gift, her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

He held Yaya's hand with his left hand, and clasped his right hand with Li Chunmei's fingers. He was supported by everyone and walked out of the wooden house.

"Thank you."

"Brother Shui, wedding shoes."

San Jiangshui smiled and stopped teasing her. He put his bouquet in Li Chunmei's hand and took Li Chunmei's arm to get up.

Sanjiang Shui took the shoes in his hand and put them on for Li Chunmei.

Li An stepped forward, took out the gift he had prepared long ago from his pocket and offered it:

Lin Zhaodi ignored him, rarely letting go, and turned around to laugh quietly with the other two girls in the room.

The little girl looked at the Sanjiang water with her clear black and white eyes, and opened her mouth. Maybe there were so many people, and she was too embarrassed to speak after all.

"Zhaodi, where are the wedding shoes?"

Firecrackers were going off at the intersection, and everyone got in the car and headed around Jixiang Road to the pier.

Ten thirty in the morning, Hongyun Restaurant.

The red carpet, the lights are bright, the red tablecloths are neatly arranged with dishes and chopsticks, and five or six tables are full of guests, making it a lively place.

After picking up the bride and returning to the tenement house on Nanjing Street, under the witness of Yixiantian, Sanjiangshui and Li Chunmei held the wedding ceremony, and everyone set off to the restaurant to entertain the guests.

Of course, even though it was a simple affair, no guests were invited. Except for Li Chunmei's fellow villagers who sat at two tables, the guests from Sanjiangshui only occupied four tables. Many guests came over to congratulate.

"Brother Luo has had his stitches removed from the stab wound, but his chest ribs are fractured. The doctor told Brother Luo to stay in bed for a few more days and he can't be discharged yet, so he asked me to come here this time. Brother An, this time your senior brother is getting married, he I apologize for not being able to come."

Lardboy smiled apologetically and handed the red chips in his hand to Mr. Lu Jianming, who was sitting behind the table and acted as the accountant.

After the incident in the Walled City, Lardboy's name for Li An became much closer to him unknowingly.

"That's too polite." Li An shook his head and called to Wu Shihao who was helping to entertain the guests.

"Ah Hao, let me take my seat."

"Ok."

Wu Shihao nodded and extended his hand to Lard Zai: "Brother Zai, I'll take you there."

Lardboy hummed and followed Wu Shihao away.

"your friend?"

Lu Jianming put away the money and asked.

"Well, I went to the hospital to see him the day before yesterday. He asked me what I was busy with. I casually said that I was busy looking for a shop and my senior brother's marriage, and he took it to heart." Li An said with a smile.

"Looking for a shop? Are you doing business?"

Lu Jianming was a little curious.

When Zhou Sheng talked to him about Li An, he only said that Li An had made rapid progress in boxing and was extremely talented, but did not mention anything else.

"Do retail."

Li An nodded in response. Seeing that Lu Jianming was a little confused, he added another sentence:
"It is a chain of self-service shopping supermarkets that has emerged in Europe and the United States in recent years. It is similar to a store, except that the store area is larger and the product types are more diverse."

Lu Jianming thought for a while and suddenly said: "Is it a convenience store like the 7-Eleven in Texas Southern?"

"Yes, in addition to convenience stores, there are also supermarkets."

"In recent years, convenience stores, supermarkets, and department stores have emerged rapidly in Europe and the United States, especially supermarkets and department stores. The market in Hong Kong is completely blank, and the prospects for this industry are great."

Li An was a little surprised when he heard this: "Senior brother's family is in the gold business. I didn't expect that he also knows a lot about retail."

Lu Jianming explained with a smile:

"Actually, I only learned about it when I inspected gold specialty stores at the Good Market department store in Paris at the beginning of the year, but not much."

While chatting, the time came to half past eleven without realizing it.

Zhou Sheng came over.

"I see you had a great time chatting. It's time to eat."

"coming."

Lu Jianming got up and tidied up, and the three of them found a table and sat down.

After the food and wine were served at the banquet, Zhou Sheng asked the guests to use their chopsticks, took a sip of wine and said:
"Second Senior Brother, we haven't seen each other in nearly a year. When you come back this time, you have to stay a little longer."

Lu Jianming shook his head: "I'm afraid not. I will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Master at most, and then I will go back to Chinatown."

Zhou Sheng was surprised and said:
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is in three days. My uncle has been taking care of your family's business. You are just a helper at most. It doesn't matter if you play for a few more days. There is no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

"The main thing is that Chinatown has not been peaceful recently. Several forces are vying for territory and there are many fights. I don't worry if I stay there for a long time."

Zhou Sheng frowned: "Is it very troublesome?"

"That's not it."

Lu Jianming shook his head and said:

"It's just that these guys have been making more trouble recently. Chinatown has been in a mess. The lack of customers has affected the business of Jinhang to some extent. It's not a big trouble. No matter how bold they are, they will not take the initiative to provoke us."

Zhou Sheng felt relieved after hearing this and no longer persisted:

"Okay, I'll finish handling the police station matters in the morning these days, so I'll finish my work early and come over here."

"No, your work is more important. I will come over during the Spring Festival."

Lu Jianming said with a smile.
