I also persuaded You Meng, "Just buy it.
It's really suitable. "
You Meng shook her head, "Do you think we're rich?" She turned to the salesperson and asked, "Oh right, how much is it for a day?"
The salesperson still held up five fingers, "Five hundred."
You Meng looked a little disappointed and said self-deprecatingly, "Inflation, even the wedding dress is so expensive!
Forget it, Zhao Long, let's still … "
I interrupted her and said to the salesperson, "Okay, I'll buy this one, give me a new one!"
You Meng questioned me, "How dare you!
I wear it, I have the final say. "
I smiled bitterly, "It's not like we can't afford it."
The salesperson added oil and vinegar, "Yes, miss, look at the car you drove, it's a Passat.
It's more than two hundred thousand, but only five thousand for a wedding dress. It's a gift from the groom, you should accept it.
How about this, the brides just now saw that you looked good in this wedding dress, so I can ask the boss to give you a 85% discount.
This is already the best discount, even our VIP members get more than this price. "
You Meng smiled awkwardly, "The car is borrowed.
We're just two poor people.
Sorry, thank you. "
She said and hurried to the dressing room.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When did You Meng become like this?
In my impression, although she wasn't as extravagant as some of the rich second generation, she was definitely not a girl who was inferior in terms of dressing up. The 'Chanel No. 5' perfume she always used was a very convincing example.
But I suddenly realized that You Meng's familiar perfume smell seemed to have changed.
I always felt it was strange, where did the familiar Chanel No. 5 go? Could it be, she even abandoned the brand she always loved?
When You Meng came out of the dressing room, I pulled her hand and led her to the door.
You Meng smiled at me. "What's wrong?"
I took a few deep breaths and was sure that her perfume smelled different from before.
I frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did you change your perfume brand?"
You Meng said, "You just realized it!
It had been a long time!
What happened? "
I asked, "Why did you suddenly become so hardworking and simple?
From now on, I'll take care of all your cosmetics!
Also, this wedding gown is mine! "
You Meng reached out and scratched my nose, "Little fool!
How much is your monthly salary?
Have you ever calculated how much it costs to support a woman who wears and uses branded goods?
Hey, you are no longer the Vice President of Tianlong who has a net worth of tens of millions. We still need to live, we still need to be filial to our parents, and we still need to … "You Meng blushed and did not continue.
I answered for her, "You still need to nurture the next generation, right?"
You Meng lowered her head and continued, "That's why we have a heavy burden on our shoulders.
In the past, it was our parents who raised us, but now … We are all adults. Although my parents don't lack money, as their daughters, we still need to show our filial piety, right?
Also, your parents, have you never planned to renovate the house or buy them a house in the county to improve their quality of life for the rest of their lives? "
You Meng's words woke me up. I felt that she had changed. She had suddenly become mature and realistic.
As for me, I was becoming more and more naive.
I was happy that she could think like that. It was very touching for the daughter of a General to have such awareness.
You Meng saw that I didn't speak, so she patted my shoulder and said, "My mom also said that we should keep everything simple.
I think that since we are soldiers, it's better to wear military uniforms, right?
What do you think? "
I felt a warm feeling in my eyes. I could see that You Meng liked wedding gowns very much.
Wedding gowns were every girl's dream.
This dream started when they were children. They hoped that one day they could become Snow White, wear a beautiful wedding gown, and marry their Prince Charming.
But You Meng only looked at it for a while. Maybe she really felt that it was too expensive and was unwilling to increase the cost.
I gently held You Meng's shoulder and looked at her emotionally, "Silly girl!
This is the only time in a person's life.
Don't wrong yourself.
Although we are soldiers, we are also a new generation of young people. We also have the right to pursue beauty and fashion.
I can't give you too much material benefits, and I can't order a wedding gown that can easily cost tens of thousands, but I truly love you and like you.
A woman only wears a wedding gown once in a lifetime. Do you have the heart to give up this opportunity?
Listen to me and buy it.
Three years later, five years later, even when we are old, we can take out this wedding gown and look at it. It will also be a beautiful memory. "
You Meng looked a little conflicted, but she still smiled, "I know you are good to me.
But I really don't want to wear a wedding gown.
We should wear a military uniform. It is more sacred and environmentally friendly!
What do you think? "
I shook my head, "Since I married you, I have the responsibility to let you enjoy everything that a woman should enjoy."
You Meng patted my chest, "Okay, don't make it difficult for me!
Many times, regret is also a kind of beauty.
Let's go! "You Meng took my arm and stepped in front of the car.
I could see that during these few steps, You Meng still looked at the wedding gown shop behind us with some nostalgia.
In the car, my mood was very complicated.
You Meng, on the other hand, had a happy look on her face. She looked forward with longing.
In the end, I couldn't persuade You Meng to buy a wedding gown.
Until February 8th, the day of our official engagement.
The engagement was actually just a formality.
According to the normal procedures, we had to hold a big banquet in our hometown and invite our friends and relatives.
The bride's side also did the same.
On the day of the engagement, many people came to our house. The banquet greatly exceeded the scheduled sixteen tables and reached thirty tables.
Even several leaders in the county and town heard the news and came to attend You Meng's and my wedding.
After the engagement procedures were completed, You Meng and I started to change the way we addressed each other.
I no longer called You Meng's mother 'auntie', but changed it to 'mother'. You Meng also changed the way she addressed my parents as' father and mother '.
It was quite embarrassing to change the way we addressed each other!
After You Meng and I officially got engaged, my mother-in-law returned to the capital.
After checking out of the hotel, You Meng officially moved into our house.
Of course, her mother had opened up a single room for her. The single room was tidied up neatly, and You Meng felt quite comfortable living there.
Of the three things Director You told me to do, I've already completed two of them. Of course, the remaining one was the most important one.
From then on, I began to wholeheartedly devote myself to practicing martial arts.
With You Meng's company, no matter how hard or tiring it was, I felt gratified and happy.
At this time, the Yellow River had already thawed. Although the water in the winter wasn't as turbulent as before, it still looked particularly spectacular.
The wide river and the beautiful scenery on the shore set off each other beautifully.
We opened a training ground next to the pavilion on the embankment. Every day, we wore sportswear and practiced martial arts. You Meng was my sparring partner. Our days were full and happy.
Ten days later, we received a call from Director You. Director You told me that Grandpa Huang might arrive soon.
Hearing this news, it was simply inspiring.
Grandpa Huang was an otherworldly expert. His martial arts attainments had already reached the realm of perfection.
With his guidance, I was even more confident that I would be able to win first place in the security exchange.
On this temporary training ground, You Meng and I's behavior naturally aroused the interest of the nearby villagers.
Many people who liked to exercise quickly became our loyal fans. They practiced on the side and learned a few moves.
There were even two young men who insisted on worshipping us as their masters.
During our free time, You Meng wiped my sweat and said, "You've grown so fast.
I think you're a natural martial arts material. "
I gently stroked You Meng's beautiful little head and said, "With you by my side, even if I'm born stupid, I can become a good material.
You're a catalyst. Ever since I met you, I felt that my life doesn't belong to me. My honor doesn't belong to me, but also to you.
For the sake of our common goal, I must improve. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you'll fall behind. "
You Meng smiled and complained, "Your mouth has also improved. You're especially good at sweet-talking!"
I smiled and said, "Some sweet-talking is a method men use to coax women.
But the sweet-talking that comes out of my mouth comes from the bottom of my heart. "
You Meng said, "Okay, okay. You should use your sweet-talking skills to practice martial arts."
I didn't miss the opportunity to put a cigarette in my mouth and said thoughtfully, "Two months after the World Guard Exchange, it will be our wedding day.
Do you know why our parents chose such a day? "
You Meng blinked and guessed, "It's an auspicious day.
Chinese people are very particular about feng shui. Maybe my mom and your mom colluded and went to find a fortune teller. "
I gently shook my head and said, "No, no.
It's because … "I smiled maliciously and continued," Think about it. Getting married isn't an easy job. Mother-in-law is afraid that I'll be too tired from playing around and it will affect my performance at the World Guard Exchange.
That's why she set the wedding day after the Exchange. "
You Meng frowned and said, "Playing around?
What do you mean? "
I quickly said, "It's a metaphor.
It means that I'll be immersed in the joy of getting married and stick to you all day long. Isn't that playing around and losing my mind? "
You Meng pouted and said, "Since I'm affecting your progress and making you lose your mind because of playing around, you should just give up being King Zhou of Shang. Let's not get married!"
I said, "You know that's not what I mean.
Why does King Zhou of Shang favor Dayi so much that he doesn't even go to the morning court?
It's because Dayi is too beautiful. When King Zhou of Shang can't see her, he feels empty and uncertain.
That's why he … "
