Chapter 122 Hairdo
After leaving the blind old lady's stall, the wooden hairpin was put into a wooden box and held in Jiang Lianxue's wooden box was also given by the old lady. She said it was a container for storing wooden hairpins. The materials of both are from the same tree.
In ancient times, wooden hairpins were tokens of love given by men to their beloved women. Lu Li bought a wooden hairpin and gave it to Jiang Lianxue to express his love.
Therefore, Jiang Lianxue held the wooden box tightly against her chest, and couldn't wait to go back to the hotel to try it on.
The value of this wooden hairpin was far more than twenty. Lu Li originally wanted to buy more, but as soon as he scanned the code, the blind old lady seemed to have opened her third eye and spoke on her own initiative.
"Nanwa, if you transfer more money, I won't sell this hairpin to you."
Seeing this, Lu Li had no choice but to give up, thanked him sincerely, and completed the transaction.
From beginning to end, the old lady never told the story behind the wooden hairpin, nor did she show any major emotional fluctuations, as if she was selling a corn.
On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Lianxue couldn't help but say, "I've met so many kind grandmothers recently, and they always remind me of my own grandmother."
"Do you have time to visit her?"
"Well, would you like to come with me?"
"of course."
Lu Li nodded without any hesitation, but he was not quite sure where the old man was resting now.
Jiang Lianxue knew exactly what he was thinking without him asking, "Grandma is in Jiangnan City, not far from the ancient town, and Mom is also with her..."
Jiang Lianxue's voice became a little smaller, and Lu Li felt as if his heart was suddenly grabbed by a palm, which was very painful.
He looked at Jiang Lianxue silently, put his arms around her waist, and held her in his arms.
Jiang Lianxue looked up at Lu Li in a daze. After a few seconds, she spoke softly, "They will definitely like you very much."
Lu Li lowered his head and looked at her. She continued, "Because they like me the most, and I like you the most, so they will definitely like you very much too."
……
After returning to the hotel, Jiang Lianxue's originally depressed mood had recovered a lot. She has always been such a strong girl. Although life is bitter like a song, she can still sing it beautifully.
Lu Li stood behind Jiang Lianxue, combing her hair with the hotel's comb. On the dressing table next to her was an opened wooden box with the wooden hairpin lying quietly inside it.
Their figures are reflected in the mirror facing them on the dressing table. This scene seems like an ancient scholar combing his wife's hair, which looks very affectionate.
Jiang Lianxue smiled and blinked, "Little monster, can you tie your hair up?"
“I haven’t learned it, but I can try.”
"Then I'll teach you. Just do as I say. It's very simple."
Lu Li was full of confidence after hearing that. It was just a bun, how difficult could it be?
A few minutes later, looking at the bird's nest in the mirror, Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue were both silent.
Jiang Lianxue silently looked at Lu Li in the mirror, and Lu Li outside the mirror looked away awkwardly.
"Ahem, it's the first time you try, so it's normal to fail."
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Jiang Lianxue raised her hand, pulled out the wooden hairpin from her hair and gently placed it on the table, then she held her hair and began to tie it up.
Obviously, every step was exactly the same as what Lu Li had just done, but the effect was completely different. After tying the hairpin, Jiang Lianxue's hair looked like a phoenix flying in the clouds.
And Lu Li was like a chick flapping its wings in a bird's nest.
Jiang Lianxue smiled and turned her head to look up at Lu Li, "I've discovered another skill that I'm better at than you!"
Lu Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that after you met me, you have memorized every skill of who is strong and who is weak?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Lianxue showed a matter-of-fact expression, "Only in this way can we decide who will teach our children which skills in the future."
It was originally just a joke, but I didn't expect Jiang Lianxue actually had such a plan, and she had a long-term vision and even started to consider the next generation.
Putting his hand on Jiang Lianxue's soft shoulder, Lu Li leaned forward slightly and said, "I think we can let Uncle Liu teach our child in the future. He will definitely be an invincible superman when he grows up."
"Uncle Liu doesn't know all the skills, for example, how to do a hair bun, these are things that Aunt Han and I learned."
Jiang Lianxue blinked, "I think we should let Uncle Liu and Aunt Han teach together, and then the two of us will provide guidance. By then, our child will definitely be a very capable little guy."
"That's a bit too far-fetched. Let's just have a baby first!"
"Let's get married after we graduate."
The legal marriage age in China is no earlier than 22 years old for men and no earlier than 20 years old for women.
Jiang Lianxue can get married next year, but Lu Li will have to wait another three years, which happens to be when he is a senior in college.
Lu Li’s birthday is in January, which is actually probably much earlier than his graduation date, probably at the end of last semester.
Both of them are looking forward to getting married and are determined to get it done as quickly as possible.
The relationship between the two has always progressed so quickly.
Both of them are people who live in the present and enjoy life while they can. Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue cherish every minute they spend together, and there are still many things they want to try or do together.
Lu Li smiled and lowered his head to kiss the dignified beauty with her hair tied up. "Next week, we must learn from our cousin what preparations are needed for marriage and accumulate more experience."
"Then I can ask my dad. He has a lot of friends and someone should be getting married every week. We can study one every week."
Seeing Jiang Lianxue's serious expression, Lu Li couldn't help but stretched out his finger and gently touched her forehead, "You give a share of money every week, right? Then won't the Jiang family's wealth be destroyed by your gifts?"
"Not really!" Jiang Lianxue's eyes widened, revealing a look as if she had been struck by lightning. "The Jiang family's financial resources are still sufficient, right?"
Lu Li pretended to be serious and said, "Then tell me, how much should we give as a gift at each wedding?"
"Uh uh uh."
Jiang Lianxue scratched her head in embarrassment. How could she know such things when she had never attended a wedding? From what she had seen on TV or in animation series, the gift was always just a red envelope, and she couldn't see how much money was inside.
She thought about it seriously, then looked at Lu Li, "I remember the thickness of the red envelopes in those TV dramas. They should be tens of thousands of yuan. Giving out tens of thousands of yuan as gifts a week is still acceptable!"
Hearing this, Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but twitch, "From now on, I will teach my child about the knowledge of giving gifts, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Hehe, right!" Jiang Lianxue's eyes sparkled, "I told you, you'll be in charge of the family's money from now on!"
Lu Li covered his face with his hands. He seemed to be able to foresee that when his children asked him for pocket money in the future, his wife would also ask for it.
Wow, this is like raising two little babies!
