Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Seven: Youth(1/2)
Lu Cheng was a little optimistic:
"Your buns are so big. If they are quick-frozen, won't they turn rotten once you steam them? If you don't steam them, you're afraid they won't be thoroughly steamed... But don't let others eat them."
The customer doesn't care whether it's the buns or not. He's looking for trouble. Isn't this a bad reputation?
Pearl is a little unwilling:
"Then I'll be the little one."
"Nowadays, little girls like to eat in small bites, so I just make small buns and steamed buns."
"And the fried dumplings and pot stickers we made some time ago, wouldn't the quick-frozen ones also work?"
Lu Cheng hesitated: "This...should be okay, right?"
When it comes to decoration, he can say 10,000 words.
But when it comes to steamed buns, he can only eat them.
However, Pearl thought more and more enthusiastically. She didn't sleep most of the night. She sat up directly in her clothes, took the magazine she had read during the day and started flipping through it again.
…
Pearl had this idea not just once or twice.
Lu Cheng decorates people outside every day, and except when meeting clients, he dresses in a shabby style. Pearl leads a group of ladies and aunts to make buns at home every day, and she mainly looks neat and tidy every day.
But this year we hired two new eldest sisters. They are good-looking, down-to-earth people, and they work in a down-to-earth manner.
He always has a sad look on his face.
When I asked, I found out that the divorce had only been two years ago.
The times are developing too fast, and there are too many successful people.
Housewives like them, who are photographed at home by the waves, will inevitably have to make room for the new young girls after devoting their youth and enthusiasm.
Not making room?
That's not up to them.
It’s hard to open your mouth and ask for money from others!
A group of women were chattering, but no gossip was heard.
During this time, Pearl was in crisis, and she began to secretly dress herself up.
…
She had thought about it, her family's Dacheng was now a boss, and if her career didn't keep up, then if this man lost his conscience...who would she cry to?
Of course, Pearl also knows that Dacheng is not that character.
But who can guarantee 100% about things in this world?
As for the two newly divorced eldest sisters, they endured hardships and hardships with their husbands when they were young. They have never suffered any grievances.
Wouldn’t it be divorced in the end?
Therefore, she trusts her and must not lose the preparations she should make.
Although her grades were not as outstanding as Dacheng when she was in school, she did not understand many important principles.
But no matter what, as long as you work harder, you will always have more confidence.
Isn’t it just about starting a company? Who can’t do it? Let’s explore slowly bit by bit.
I thought it was amazing at first, but now that Dacheng has grown day by day, he actually has a company——
Then it doesn't seem too difficult.
…
Of course Lu Cheng didn't know that Pearl was in marital crisis now.
In fact, he hangs out with a group of decoration workers every day, and sometimes he is too busy to do the work himself. He is so disgraced that no young girl has taken a fancy to his potential!
He just sighed a little.
——It seems that Pearl suffered a lot of grievances in the hard days before, and now she is afraid that life will be difficult, so she is working so hard.
As long as I have the opportunity now, I can't lose this motivation to make progress no matter what.
Thinking about it this way, his wife is so motivated, he can't just rely on his old job!
Mr. Bai gave him a house because he was generous and kind, but if he wants to truly establish a foothold in the imperial capital, he has to rely on himself.
The surprise of getting two houses for free during the day suddenly cooled down.
He simply got up and started studying the decoration cases he had found in other companies during this period.
…
Late at night, the couple each read there with a book, as if they were students working hard to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. This enthusiasm for studying is really admirable.
As the night grew darker, Lu Cheng looked at it and suddenly closed the book.
"Pearl, you said Lili..."
Pearl didn’t even raise her head:
"That magazine in the corner is the last part she serialized, and she stopped writing it later. If you really miss her, just read it."
Pearl glanced at him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Let's see what your elder brother looks like to her."
Just give up your mind.
…
have a look?
Lu Cheng smiled bitterly.
What to see?
In her novels, the brother of the heroine who looks so much like me ends up in poverty and ends up in jail?
Or do you want to see the heroine’s parents become helpless and regretful for the rest of their lives?
Or maybe it was the sister-in-law who disliked the poor and loved the rich, was mean and greedy, and finally couldn't bear the debt and was deceived and sold to a mountain village with her legs broken...
This way of writing made it impossible for Lu Cheng to find an excuse.
He knows that some people write novels to apply reality to increase the sense of reality.
But in the novels written by those people, is the sense of reality expressed by arranging relatives to go to a dead end?
The names are so similar, the families are so similar, and even the plants and trees in the house are so similar.
For someone who doesn't know anything about it, just seeing how real the environment and characters are, I'd be afraid that this is what happened in reality.
If Lu Li has some taboos in her heart, she would not write like this anyway!
…
Lu Cheng took a deep breath.
"Pearl, that's not what I meant."
Pearl also put down her book and looked up at him.
"Then what do you mean?"
"I'll leave it here. The house downstairs is intended for our parents to live in. I don't care. If you want to raise a sister and a daughter, just take her over."
"But this house has my share of the pearl. Do you know what joint property is? If she dares to step into this house, you should not come to see me as my daughter-in-law."
After she said this, deep pain flashed between her eyebrows.
Lu Cheng thought of the time when she almost died giving birth to a child, and couldn't help but feel distressed and guilty at the moment.
"Pearl, don't be afraid. No matter what, I am on your side, and she was the one who made the mistake in this matter."
"It's Lili who can't help you."
…
Pearl shook her head.
"Dacheng, I have never liked her, but I have never been sorry to her over the years."
"I know you think she made me unable to have children. It's because of this that I hold grudges...Actually, I don't blame her for this."
"To be honest, the bad thing happened. She just didn't get the money. I'm so sad that I wouldn't have held a grudge for so long."
"But Dacheng, we have known each other since childhood. You have seen how I treat Lu Li after I have been married for so many years."
"When did we ever feel sorry for her?"
"But what does she think of you and me?"
"I can't stand the white-eyed wolf."
…
Lu Cheng took a deep breath.
"Yes, I know."
He touched Pearl's face distressedly - the once young and beautiful girl now had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes due to the vicissitudes of life.
He laughed: "What I want to tell you is that we are living a better life now. When we take our parents over, our parents will definitely not mention her as their daughter for a while."
"But I saw Lili last time."
That day at the breakfast shop, he took a serious look at his sister.
"She looks very haggard now. If she stays in this state, our parents will definitely think of this daughter again after a long time, and their hearts will inevitably soften."
