Chapter 140 Is That Kid An Orphan?
"I think, the clothes of the Marine Corps are better than those of the previous Imperial Army, fresh and peaceful."

"Really? Each has its own characteristics."

Xia Xiaoshi greatly admired the color of the Marine Corps' military uniforms. She thought this slightly darker blue-green color was very eye-catching.

Because these days are extremely busy, and the transportation from Jiang Xinzhou to the city is inconvenient, Zhou Changfeng didn't see her for more than half a month.

It just so happened that today's New Year's Day, the army canceled the training, prepared rich banquets and activities, and celebrated the festival happily, so Zhou Changfeng took care of his personal affairs as the shopkeeper.

Since the establishment of the constitution in the fifth year of Zhichang, the imperial court decided to use the Gregorian calendar, but did not abandon the traditional lunar calendar. Every January [-]st was designated as the New Year; after a few years, it was officially named "New Year's Day" in the eighth year of Zhichang. ", corresponding to "Zhengdan" on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Now it is only after the second industrial revolution, and the entertainment methods are not comparable to the colorful information age. Dates between men and women are basically in the form of going to the park, watching movies, eating, and shopping.

In a clothing store, she hesitated while picking out a dress, "Speaking of which, I think my parents already know..."

Zhou Changfeng was not surprised by this. He smiled and said, "There is no better way to know a son than a father, and no way to know a daughter like a mother. It is easy for parents to notice subtle changes in this regard."

"Too."

"Let's say it first, I'm not worried at all anyway, I dare to invite your father to visit me as a guest."

"..." Xia Xiaoshi, who was covered in black lines, was a little speechless, "When did you want to visit the door?"

"Cough cough," Zhou Changfeng coughed dryly, "Say it casually, say it casually, it's up to you to decide exactly how to do it."

"Well... Just follow the common practice, if you are sincere, then add another marriage proposal."

"Hey, what are you talking about, is it not sincere if you don't add a marriage proposal?"

Xia Xiaoshi snorted, "It's just a formality."

Ah!Sure enough, women care about form after all!
Zhou Changfeng smiled slightly, and said casually without thinking too much: "Don't be afraid, you have long been a fish in my fish pond, and you can't escape."

???

hateful!What are you talking about!

Xia Xiaoshi became angry when she heard the words, she gritted her teeth and said, "Your surname is Zhou, what did you say?!"

It is not for nothing that the IQs of men and women in love have plummeted, at least Zhou Changfeng just talked without thinking.

He said awkwardly: "I made a mistake, it should be a fish tank, and there is only one big yellow croaker like you."

"Why big yellow croaker?"

"Because...it's precious."

"Oh, that's about the same."

The two bickered for a few words, and then returned to normal life.

Although there may not seem to be many people in this huge ready-made clothing store, the reality is just the opposite. The list of clothes ordered from here may take several months.

Zhou Changfeng followed Xia Xiaoshi with a newspaper, and the two walked around inside like this. After shopping for a long time, Xia Xiaoshi fell in love with a material, so she called the shop assistant.

"Good eyesight, this is a new style of three-way twisted flower, the quality is first-class, and it is not too expensive, it can be said to be affordable."

There are many kinds of traditional Chinese fabrics, and the texture of Luo is very good, soft, light and thin, and has good air permeability. It is a good choice for spring, summer and autumn clothes.But the good ones are not cheap, and Luo fabrics are more delicate, not wear-resistant, not durable, and more expensive.

Zhou Changfeng glanced at it, and the unit price of "one yuan and eight anise per foot" felt a bit painful.

The three-and-a-half-foot-wide three-warp twisted flower is 1.8 round and one foot long, and a set of Chinese clothes for the upper and lower garments must be at least more than one foot long, that is, more than ten feet long.

Obviously, Xia Xiaoshi will still try to save money in this regard. While thinking about it, she told the clerk her request, "Assembling the ingredients, it's enough to place a foot and a half..."

Stitching means not using a whole section of complete fabric to sew clothes, but maximizing the use of small pieces of leftover material, which can save a lot of money; as for "swing", it refers to the circumference of the skirt after it is flattened. Longer, the longer the pendulum, the more fabric will naturally be required.

After communicating with the clerk, she agreed on a time to pick up the goods, and finally settled the deal at a price of 27 yuan for [-] feet. This is only the price of the fabric, not including the hand-made tailoring fee.

Although it was not his own money, Zhou Changfeng also felt a bit of pain in his flesh. When he was in middle school and college, he never cared about these things. He bought clothes and pants casually, and never thought of spending thousands of dollars on them. Clothes and pants, the habit developed since then has continued to this day.

After leaving the clothing store, Xia Xiaoshi said seriously, "I have new clothes, but I still need a hairpin to match them."

My hint should be obvious enough, right?This guy was so good at flirting with women before, so he must have understood it all at once.

After she finished speaking, she pretended not to care, but she was actually waiting for Zhou's reaction.

Zhou Changfeng snapped his fingers, and said relaxedly: "This is simple, wait for a few days, and I will give you a unique one, which is guaranteed to make people sigh."

oh?Surprisingly unique?
His words made Xia Xiaoshi's imagination run wild, what kind of hairpin would it be?Judging from the pragmatic temperament of most men, I'm afraid they will make a pure gold.

In this way, with longing and anticipation for the unknown, she was still thinking about it and the future after returning home, so that she was distracted during dinner.

Seeing her daughter holding chopsticks and staring at the rice bowl in a daze, Gao Linglu frowned slightly, and was about to remind her, but Xia Bing next to her spoke first.

He coughed lightly, and when Xia Xiaoshi came back to his senses, he said lightly: "Tell me, which family's boy is it?"

Ah!Today I want to ask clearly, which pig is going to support my cabbage!
Xia Xiaoshi, who came back to her senses, weighed the current situation in a very short time. Fortunately, she was mentally prepared and knew that her parents had already guessed the general idea, so she chose to confess directly.

"Uh...he is the head of the family himself."

"No father and no mother?" Xia Bing felt something was wrong.

"Orphan?" Gao Linglu's words were even more straightforward.

Objectively speaking, what Xia Xiaoshi said was completely correct, but the price was that Zhou Changfeng, who had just disembarked and was about to return to the camp, sneezed.

"No, it's just that his father died in the frontier a long time ago, his mother also died of illness later, and his sister is also married."

"How is the situation now? What are you doing?" Compared with Xia Bing, Gao Linglu, who is a mother, seems to be more anxious?

In fact, Xia Bing knew that his daughter was unlikely to be fooled by ordinary people.

After Xia Xiaoshi stated Zhou Changfeng's resume and experiences in detail, both parents were obviously relieved.

The two of them have been thinking about lifelong affairs for Xia Xiaoshi for the past two years, but it's not suitable to choose left or right, and they don't want to wrong her, so they dragged on until today.

But what I never expected was that I could actually meet such an excellent candidate?
