Chapter 54 "My Bride" Part [-]
I got off the plane and took a taxi.

Driving on the winding mountain road, the driver and I chatted for a long time.

Came to the small town and returned to his hometown.

This is Jingdezhen, the hometown of porcelain.

I looked out of place walking in the crowd.

There were passers-by dressed casually around me, but I was wearing a straight suit.

The suit is tailor-made and does not have any brand name.

There is just a small letter sewn on the cuffs of the clothes: "L".

Because I designed this dress myself.

Nine years ago in London's Savile Row, I was fortunate enough to receive Mr. Bailey's true biography.

After studying for eight full years, I returned to China with my craftsmanship.

Thinking back to eight years ago, I don’t know how I persisted.

During the day, he custom-made suits for people from all over the world, and at night, he stayed up late to tutor in English.

From small measurements to drawings, from cutting to ready-made garments.

From saying "sorry" to being able to speak simple sentences fluently, and then using a fluent British accent to tell customers the history and meaning of tailor-made suits.

Until Mr. Bailey allowed me to sew my logo on the clothes, just a small one: "L".

It represents all the meanings of my past eight years.

Last year, Mr. Bailey told me that I no longer needed to learn from him.

I went to Beijing and relied on Mr. Bailey's recommendation letter to find the best tailor-made suit shop in Beijing.

My current identity is an internationally renowned suit design master.

It costs RMB 7 to customize a whole suit from me.

Even at this price, there is still an endless stream of rich and famous people who come to me for customized suits.

Even ordinary people would wear my custom-made suits as a way of showing off when they are getting married or engaged.

I finally no longer have to be cowardly and humble and feel like an insignificant little person.

Even if you don't like the unreasonable customer, even if you deliberately change his size a few centimeters smaller.

But no matter how uncomfortable it was when he put it on, he still kept praising my craftsmanship.

This is fame, and of course it is what I have earned after eight years of hard work.

In addition to weekend breaks, the company allows me to choose one month of rest every year.

In June, I applied for a break.

After a month's vacation, I returned to my hometown.

Although I have no relatives here, or even a home.

I returned to my childhood home, which was now someone else’s home.

Looking through the window of the bungalow, you can see a woman cooking.

Not far from the woman, there was a child who was playing with a toy. The child was sitting on the ground and playing with the toy happily.

I think of myself when I was a child, but unfortunately my mother has passed away.

I saw the woman actually looking at me again, I smiled awkwardly and looked away.

He subconsciously took a few steps away, fearing that he would be suspected of being someone with bad intentions.

The purpose of this trip is of course not to see my former home, but the park not far away.

"It's so hot in summer." I was sitting on a park bench on Park Road at noon.

I bought a bottle of Pepsi when I passed by the canteen.

The sun shone directly on my face, but I just stared blankly at the castle opposite.

Castles are private buildings, similar to wealthy people's villas.

Just sit on the bench like this for an hour, two hours. . .

Until the red sun turns into sunset and shines on the custom-made suit.

I finally looked at the watch on my left hand impatiently.

It was time to find a hotel for the night.

Helplessly, he squeezed the already finished Coke bottle in his hand and stood up.

Throw the Coke bottle into the trash can and just get ready to leave.

At this time.

"Brother, brother." A cheerful female voice sounded from beside him.

Instinctively, I looked carefully in the direction of the voice. The person speaking was a little girl.A little girl I'd never seen before.

"Brother, brother." The little girl called me affectionately.

I looked around, smiled gentlemanly at the little girl, and said doubtfully: "Kid, are you calling me?"

The little girl looked at me, sat down on the bench where I had just stood up, and said unhappily: "Brother, you are so stupid, is there anyone else here?"

Looking at her, she looked helpless.

I pulled the collar of my suit and said, "Little sister, do you have something to do with me? If you can't find your parents, my brother will take you to the police."

"I'm not lost." The little girl pointed to the building not far away and said, "Brother, look, that's my home."

"Then I have nothing to do." After saying that, I turned around and left.

"Brother? Brother?" the little girl shouted again.

"What?" I turned around impatiently.

"There was a beautiful sister just now. She asked me to tell you. She didn't want to see you. She said that I told you this. You will buy me ice cream. Brother, is it true?" The little girl's innocent eyes look at me.

I looked around excitedly, grabbed the little girl's shoulders and said, "Tell me, where is that beautiful sister? Can my brother buy you two ice creams?" The little girl said with a cry: "Brother hurts, the beautiful sister just There. I don’t know where it is now.”

I looked in the direction of the little girl's finger. There was no one in that direction for a long time.

"Damn, why didn't I pay attention to my surroundings just now?" I muttered to myself.

"Brother? The ice cream my sister mentioned? Is it true?" the little girl said timidly.

I looked at the little girl and said gentlemanly again: "Yes, my sister didn't lie to you just now."

"Okay." The little girl smiled happily.

I took the little girl's hand and walked to the canteen at the other end of the park.

The canteen is new and I have never seen it before.

The business didn't look very good, and there was no one inside.

The shop owner is an aunt, leaning on a chair not far from the canteen and eating watermelon.

He saw us standing outside the canteen and ran over.

I looked at the aunt and said, "Is there any ice cream?"

The little girl smiled and echoed: "Auntie, we want ice cream."

"Oh, yes." Seeing how kindly the little girl called, the aunt quickly opened the refrigerator enthusiastically and filled it with ice bars.

"Auntie, what I want is ice cream." The little girl looked at the refrigerator with a smile.

The aunt smiled: "Don't worry, look below."

He took out a plastic cylinder from the storage layer under the refrigerator and said, "I made this. You know, I used to make ice cream. My son Xiaoshun bought a small shop for me to support me in my old age. I won't say anymore. Authentic park ice cream.”

The aunt opened the lid of the cone and found it full of ice cream.

I seem to remember something.

The aunt filled two full cups with her own plastic water cup and said: "I haven't been working for a long time and I don't have egg rolls as a base. You can make do with it."

Auntie took two more large-headed straws.

The little girl happily picked up the ice cream with a straw and started eating it.

I picked up the ice cream, took a bite, and said thoughtfully, "This is what it tastes like."

"Young man, have you ever eaten it before?" the aunt said with a smile.

"It's nothing, Auntie. Have you ever sold ice cream outside the park with a cart before?" I said.

Auntie looked at me for a while and said, "You are not Xiaoqiaozi, are you?"

I nodded my head with a wry smile and said, "Auntie, I am Lu Qiao."

The aunt said with a smile: "Yes, I used to sell carts every day. Later, my son became successful and opened a store here. Unfortunately, the location is not good, and there has been no business. Anyway, I am idle, so I just treat work as fun."

"Auntie, how much?" I said with a smile.

"Forget it, what kind of ice cream is this? It doesn't cost you money, and besides, you are Xiaoqiaozi. Where is Xiaoyue? Is this your child?" said the aunt.

It seemed like there was nothing to explain, so I could only nod my head, take out a hundred from my wallet, slap it on the refrigerator and say, "Thank you, I don't have to change the money."

Before the aunt came back to her senses.

I took the little girl and ran back to the park.

Back on the bench where she was just now, the little girl happily ate ice cream.

"Brother, are you rich? Why would you treat me to ice cream?" the little girl said.

"Yeah." I agreed casually with something on my mind.

"Then what's your relationship with your beautiful sister?" the little girl asked.

"Huh? Children, don't ask adults these things," I said awkwardly.

"Sister must be your girlfriend, right?" the little girl said.

I was silent and didn't answer.

The little girl said happily: "My sister is so happy! My mother always said that when you marry, you must marry a rich man."

I smiled and said, "You know, when I met my sister, I was not a rich man."

The little girl looked at me doubtfully and said, "But my sister said she doesn't want to see you now."

I looked at the little girl and tried not to think about it and said, "What's your name?"

The little girl said happily: "My name is Enoch. I am nine years old."

"Nine years old?" I recalled something.

"What's wrong with nine years old?" The little girl looked at Mao Dou in confusion.

"Nothing, my name is Lu Qiao." I came back to my senses.

"It's hard to hear. I'd better call you brother." The little girl said coquettishly.

I looked at the sunset that was about to disappear and said lightly: "Yinuo, do you want to hear a story?"

Enoch said happily: "Okay, my parents are very busy. I haven't heard a story for a long time."

"Okay, come here tomorrow afternoon. I'll tell you a story." I said.

"Tomorrow, I can't come tomorrow. Today is the last day of the second grade. After the summer vacation, my parents set up a cram school for me to learn piano. I have tutoring in the future and can't come." The little girl said hesitantly.

"It's okay, if we meet next time." I said.

"Okay, goodbye, brother." The little girl smiled happily and handed the empty cup to me, and then ran away into the distance.

I continued to look at the ancient castle in the distance in a daze.

It was getting late, so I thought about sitting there for a while before finding a hotel to stay.

At this time, a familiar girl came from behind. I will never forget this voice in my life.

She said: "What are you still doing here? Didn't I let you go?"
