Chapter 497 You've Taken Advantage of Me Again

"I can't imagine what you would want such conspicuous fabric for?"

"Making clothes?" Lu Jiajia was puzzled.

In his impression, Chen Hui is a very low-key and simple young man.

"I don't understand either. My family asked me to buy it for the housewarming day."

"Is it available? If not, can I place an order?" Chen Hui made up a story and asked.

Lu Jiajia is not very old and is not very clear about the procedures of this kind of thing.

I'm just wondering because I haven't heard anyone else say this before.

Then he found a small roll of fabric from a corner and said, "Can you take a look at this?"

As soon as Chen Hui saw the goods in Lu Jiajia's hand, he could no longer hide the smile on his face.

He took the cloth and turned it over to look at a section.

The color of the fabric is almost the same as the gift box fabric that became popular decades later.

But it feels much more delicate and soft than that yellow gauze.

It feels slightly cool and slippery to the touch.

"Jia Jia, this can't be made of silk, right?" Chen Hui asked.

"You are very connoisseur of goods. You even know what real silk is." Lu Jiajia said in surprise.

"Is it really silk? What were you thinking when you bought silk of this color?"

Now it was Chen Hui's turn to not understand.

Lu Jiajia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This was ordered by a customer. It was for boudoir clothing. I forgot about it when I was calculating the money, and it ended up being a waste. It's been here for two years."

"Then it has met its mentor today!"

"Come to think of it, shouldn't you give me a lower price for this kind of stuff?" Chen Hui smiled.

Lu Jiajia nodded. "This volume isn't much. I'll give you twenty dollars."

"How many?!"

"Twenty is really not expensive for you. You have to order this color. It's hard to get, but the purchase price is more expensive than the plain color!"

"No, I mean it's so cheap, I made a profit again!"

Chen Hui took out twenty dollars from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jiajia.

"I just felt so bad about it that I sold it for money."

Lu Jiajia said helplessly and found a bag to put the cloth into.

The goods were picked up, the cloth was purchased, and an appointment was made to go to Chen Yaozu's house to find him on Saturday.

All the work in the county has been done and it's almost time for lunch.

Chen Hui took a stroll around the town and saw that the people selling firewood were leaving with their firewood on their shoulders.

He could only go back to Chenjia Village, move the goods into the store and then go to the village entrance to wait for Huang Guangdian.

"Brother-in-law, I want to go wherever you go!" An Wenyi shouted from behind.

"I can take you there, but you have to work!"

"No problem! I'm very strong!"

An Wenyi followed while talking.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a man riding a tricycle coming towards them from afar.

Looks a bit like Huang Guangdian.

When they got closer, they saw that it was really him.

Chen Hui asked in surprise: "Brother Huang? Did you ride this from the next county today?"

"How can that be possible? Then I will have to walk until dark to get back."

"I borrowed this from a shop owner in the county to save some gas money."

As Huang Guangdian spoke, he picked up his clothes and wiped the sweat off his head and face.

"Come to my house and sit for a while, have a cup of tea and take a rest, and then leave after lunch." Chen Hui greeted quickly.

"No, I have to hurry back. I have some goods to deliver in the county this afternoon."

Huang Guangdian waved his hand and said.

"Then have a cup of tea. Look how sweaty you are. You still have to ride back later. If you don't drink some water, you'll get a heat stroke!"

"My mother-in-law's house is very close and it won't take much time." Chen Hui insisted.

Huang Guangdian was a little thirsty after all the driving. He released the handbrake and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll just help you deliver the goods to the store!"

The three of them arrived at the store door together.

Lin Jiao and Huang Guangdian were moving goods inside, and Chen Hui came into the room and poured him a cup of cooling tea.

After drinking a cup of cold tea, Huang Guangdian felt relaxed.

Holding the cup, he asked, "This tea is good. Do you have more?"

"Also, there's a big pot at home!"

"It's been so hot these past two days, I have to drink a whole pot of wine every day."

As Lin Jiao spoke, she simply took out the whole pot of tea and let Huang Guangdian pour it himself.

Huang Guangdian was not polite and drank three big cups of wine.

He handed the pot and cup to Chen Hui, leaned over to Lin Jiao who was working in the store and shouted, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm leaving now!"

"Hey! Drive slower on the road!" Lin Jiao stopped what she was doing and responded.

"Brother Huang, my house is finished. When you have time, make an appointment with Uncle Shuqing to come over for a quick meal."

Chen Hui said.

Once you have said you want to treat someone to a meal, instead of waiting for them to remember, it is better to take the initiative to ask.

"No, that's just a joke!" Huang Guangdian said with a smile.

"Yes, you can deliver the goods to save me a lot of trouble."

"Or, let Uncle Shuqing set a time?" Chen Hui asked.

"Him? He's a free man, so he can't do it any day! Forget it, I'll call him when I'm free."

"Don't be too particular, just cook some porridge and stir-fry some vegetables!"

After Huang Guangdian finished speaking, he rode away on his tricycle.

An Wenyi stood aside, stretched out his arms and waved, shouting, "Goodbye, uncle!"

"Call me brother!" Chen Hui corrected her.

An Wenyi didn't quite understand, but he still changed his words and shouted, "Goodbye, brother!"

"Goodbye! Goodbye!" Huang Guangdian waved at her.

"You little brat, you've become a lot bolder lately."

"Before, when you saw someone you didn't know, you hid behind your sister." Chen Hui joked.

"Hey! I've grown up!"

An Wenyi smiled proudly, went into the store and helped Chen Hui sort out the goods.

Time flies when you have something to do.

After Chen Hui brought An Wenyi, who provided little help, together they finished finishing today's goods.

Chen Huihong had already cooked lunch and came over to call us to eat.

Chen Hui raised his wrist and took a look, then looked towards the village entrance, "Strange, why hasn't Wen Jing come back yet?"

The principal of the village primary school takes care of An Wenjing who is from another village.

I specifically asked the dean to schedule her classes earlier in the morning.

Under normal circumstances, An Wenjing could leave at half past ten and would get home by bike around eleven o'clock.

It's already half past eleven.

"Something has delayed you? How about we wait a little longer?" Chen Huihong said.

"Okay! Let's wait!"

Chen Hui nodded and trotted to Chen Kaiming's house.

After lunch, Chen Xiaoqiao was pushing his bicycle to go to town to play cards.

Chen Hui strode in and said anxiously, "Uncle Xiaoqiao, lend me your bike!"

Before Chen Xiaoqiao could react, he had already ridden away.

"Hey, hey, hey! Chen Hui, what are you doing?" Chen Xiaoqiao chased to the door and asked loudly.

"Wenjing hasn't come back from get off work yet, I'll go check it out. The tricycle is too slow, this one is faster!" Chen Hui replied without turning his head.

"Eh"
