Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 926: Like a New Wife
"Chen Hui, look at me seriously."

Lu Jiajia spread out her hands.

Chen Hui looked it up and down, and read it carefully several times. "Now that you've finished reading it, what next?"

"Then you must have realized that I am a human being, right?" Lu Jiajia asked.

Chen Hui nodded, "That's obvious."

"I'm a human! Not a machine, nor a god!"

"It will take me a whole day and a whole night to find you a set of clothes!"

Lu Jiajia's arms slumped on both sides and she said unhappily.

"Jia Jia, others may not be able to do it, but you definitely can. I know your strength!"

"But if I want it tomorrow, I will definitely have to stay up late and work overtime tonight."

"Well, I'll pay you for the overtime."

"You should double the price for Wenjing's outfit," said Chen Hui.

An Wenjing and Lu Jiajia's expressions changed slightly.

An Wenjing looked at Chen Hui without saying anything.

Lu Jiajia first said in surprise, "Really?", and then became curious about what An Wenjing was going to do wearing this outfit?
The clothes she made were already very expensive, and even Huang Xiu Lian and the others might not buy them at double the price.

Chen Hui insisted on having it, and she was very curious about the reason.

"We're going to wear your clothes and fight for a lifelong stable job!"

Chen Hui made a joke and explained the specific reason.

"Okay, I'll let you cut in line. Stay up all night to get Wen Jing's clothes out. You can come and get them tomorrow evening."

"Let me make it clear first. This is just this once. It won't happen again."

"Girls can't stay up late. If you stay up all night, your face will be ugly for a week."

This is indeed a serious matter and it is important.

Lu Jiajia was very reluctant, but she agreed with a helpless smile.

"Okay, you calculate the amount, according to what we agreed."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took out a wad of money from the inside pocket of his shirt.

"Just treat it as normal! I can still take advantage of you."

After Lu Jiajia finished speaking, she asked An Wenjing and Chen Hui to take a look at the fabric first.

I went to look at Huang Xiulian and He Juanjuan's hair first.

"Wenjing, take a look at the second layer of that cabinet over there."

"The fabric is reasonably priced and looks good, especially suitable for formal wear."

Lu Jiajia had already walked out, and came back and pointed at the cabinet near the door and said something.

Then he really left.

An Wenjing walked over and took down one of the bundles of dark blue cloth to look at it.

"Brother Chen Hui, this is much better than the one in her store downstairs."

An Wenjing reached out and gently stroked the cloth.

You don't even need to spread it out to look at it, the texture feels good just by touching it.

"Jia Jia's good stuff is hidden upstairs, and downstairs is for mass consumption, just buy some fabrics but don't make clothes."

"She brings customers who want to make clothes upstairs to choose fabrics."

Chen Hui walked over and took out the only bundle of bright orange fabric from a pile of fabrics and placed it on the coffee table beside him.

I picked up another bundle of black ones and placed them next to the bright orange ones, looking at them as a match.

"Here I am, I'm back."

"It will take about five minutes for Sister Xiulian and Sister He to do their hair. Have you chosen the fabric?"

Lu Jiajia came in again while talking.

"Jia Jia, come and take a look!"

"Use this orange one as a base, and use the black one as a coat."

"Would it look good if I made a pair of black trousers underneath, straight-legged?"

Chen Hui pulled Lu Jiajia over and pointed at the fabric he had chosen and asked.

This is the most common work uniform style decades later, and the receptionists at Chen Hui’s company also wear this.

But this was 1985.

Chen Hui's idea made Lu Jiajia's eyes light up.

I immediately took out a piece of white paper, a pencil and an orange colored pencil, and drew the general pattern on the white paper with a few simple strokes.

He handed it to Chen Hui and asked, "Is this what you mean?" "Would it look better if the collar had some style?"

Chen Hui took the colored pencils from Lu Jiajia and added a few strokes.

What I draw with my hands is inexplicably completely different from what I imagine in my mind.

But Lu Jiajia understood his thoughts.

It took only a few strokes to achieve the feeling Chen Hui wanted.

"Great! You're wasting your talent by being a tailor. You should be a painter."

Chen Hui gave a thumbs up.

Lu Jiajia smiled embarrassedly and handed it to An Wenjing to see: "Wenjing, what do you think?"

"It looks great! I've never worn anything like this."

"Will it be too cold with two such thin layers?" An Wenjing asked.

"I'll add a layer of cotton to your coat, so it can be a thin cotton coat."

"If you make the clothes a little bigger and put an autumn shirt inside, you shouldn't feel cold," said Lu Jiajia.

"it is good!"

An Wenjing nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I'll count the money!"

Lu Jiajia put the paper aside, picked up the abacus and started calculating.

Winter clothes are more expensive than summer clothes.

But the material I chose today is not very expensive.

After the final calculation, the price came to one hundred and twenty, and An Wenjing smiled with relief.

Pulling Chen Hui, he whispered, "It's okay, not as expensive as Huang Wenqian's skirt."

One hundred and thirty dollars.

When An Wenjing heard the price for the first time, she was shocked and left a deep impression on her.

"It's not that expensive, right? It's just the price of a fish."

Chen Hui comforted her and mentioned that he would cut An Wenjing's hair.

Lu Jiajia held An Wenjing's shoulders and looked at her carefully.

An idea came to me quickly.

Let Chen Hui and An Wenjing wait for a moment.

Huang Xiulian and He Juanjuan will probably finish in another half an hour.

"Then I'll go get a haircut too. We'll come back later." Chen Hui said.

"I think your hair style is really good. It looks very stylish with mousse."

Lu Jiajia looked around and said.

"It is tangible, but it will take a long time to dry once it's wet." Chen Hui said, shaking his head.

My hair takes a long time to dry when I go out to sea.

When the wind blows from the sea, my whole head feels several degrees cooler.

He was very satisfied with the short crew cut he got last time.

This time I went to that shop again and had the same haircut.

When I returned to the third floor of the department store to pick up An Wenjing, Huang Xiu Lian and He Juan Juan had already done their hair and left.

An Wenjing sat on the stool with her eyes closed.

Lu Jiajia was holding a pair of scissors, working seriously as if she was carving some kind of handicraft.

Chen Hui looked at it for a while but couldn't understand it, so he sat quietly by the side and waited for a full hour.

Lu Jiajia then untied the cloth around An Wenjing's neck and blew it with a hair dryer.

He put his hands on An Wenjing's shoulders and said with a smile, "Wenjing, it's okay."

"Are you really okay? Then I'll open my eyes." An Wenjing was a little nervous.

She has had long hair that can be tied into a big braid since she was a child.

I really can’t imagine what effect short hair would have.

"Wow! She's so beautiful! She's like a new wife."

Chen Hui couldn't hold back any longer and stood up from the stool to take a look.

After hearing what he said, An Wenjing opened her eyes expectantly.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
