Chapter 104 New Product
It's not that easy to buy a house just because you want to. That night, Zhao Juan and Hu Jianmin discussed it and Hu Jianmin also thought they should buy one.
Buying a house is a serious matter, so the couple discussed it but to no avail, and just put it in their hearts. Let's take a look first, if there's a good one, they'll buy it, if not, they can't compromise.
Everyone worked together, and Zhao Tong's wedding ceremony was also grandly held.
Because Yu Qian's family lives relatively far away, they had to come to Beijing one step ahead of the others. Mr. and Mrs. Yu were afraid that their child would be bullied, so they specially accompanied a set of real estate, which was not cheap. Yu Qian got married here, and at this time the house was already decorated beautifully.
Previously, both Father and Mother had seen the villa bought by Zhao Tong, and after admiring it, they also deepened their good impression of Zhao Tong, feeling that entrusting their daughter to him was a good decision.
If Zhao Tong knew that a villa could be exchanged for extra points, he would have bought one long ago.
On June 8th, the sky was a brilliant blue with not a cloud in sight, like a piece of jade, clear and transparent, with a gentle breeze bringing warmth.
Everyone praised today's weather as extremely good and thought it was a great day for a wedding, believing that the couple would be happy and blissful after marriage.
Song Jie had no choice but to get up at four o'clock in the morning, because this morning there would be some relatives coming to help, and naturally they would have to take care of their meals.
Zhao Tong looked especially handsome today, wearing a black suit designed by Song Jie, which was both stylish and elegant. A dark patterned tie and light blue shirt made him look very classy. His hair was combed to be sleek and shiny, and the smile on his face never faded.
No matter who comes, they must be praised for their spirit!
The groom has nothing to do today, and at the appointed time, eight black cars are lined up in a row, taking the groom to the bride's residence, which must arrive at 8:38.
This trip, Song Jie didn't have the good fortune to watch, after all, she was a member of the husband's family. Little uncle still doesn't know what kind of trouble he will get into.
It was past eleven o'clock. The wedding car of the bride and groom had driven more than half way around Beijing, returning home by a different route. It is said that the road to welcome the bride and the road back cannot be on the same line, but must take the auspicious road.
As soon as the wedding car arrived, the firecrackers laid out on the road went off. The groom got out of the car and swept up his bride in his arms, rushing towards home. Relatives on the road hastened to block their way, while the bridesmaids and groomsmen continued to throw colored paper and pull at the bride's skirt. It was a moment of extraordinary excitement.
Song Jie is not tall, stuck in the crowd behind, tiptoeing to see, saw two people running quickly to the door, and there were already clever people blocking the door asking for red envelopes.
What a commotion, poor Zhao Tong was exhausted, hugging his bride of over 100 pounds and running such a long distance. The buttons on his suit were torn open by the crowd, and his hair was disheveled.
Finally back home, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Before 12 o'clock, we have to complete the ceremony, scatter red silk, and eat reunion dinner.
At noon, a Western-style wedding was held at a famous restaurant called Ding's.
In the evening, there was still a disturbance in the bridal chamber, which wasn't suitable for children to see, so Song Jie was ordered to return home.
This whole day can be considered as a perfect completion of the task.
Song Jie also let out a sigh of relief. She had been following Zhao Juan to pick out new clothes for a long time. For Zhao Tong's wedding, she also helped out a bit, and really had a little fear of getting married.
The apricots on the tree have finally turned yellow, and some of them have cracked open. Hu Yue has finally got to eat the sweet apricots he had been longing for, but this time it wasn't him picking them himself with a pole, rather they were given by his neighbor.
At the end of June, school will no longer be on summer break. Intensive courses will be held to help everyone achieve good results in their final exams.
At night, there was even an extra evening self-study session. Song Jie really felt miserable. The mosquitoes in the summer were particularly numerous and flew around her ears. Because she wore little, the exposed skin was easily bitten and turned red.
To avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, Song Jie had to study the insect repellent again. After finishing, she filled a perfume bottle with it and took it to school.
This mosquito repellent doesn't have a strong fragrance. Instead, it has a light grassy scent that adds a touch of coolness to the hot summer.
After spraying myself and Zhang Yang, the mosquitoes indeed stopped flying around us.
When studying, Zou Meng saw it and asked in a low voice: "Song Jie, why are you spraying perfume?"
Song Jie was taken aback "No?" She held up the perfume bottle in her hand and said: "This is mosquito repellent, do you want to spray some?"
Zou Meng hastily nodded, she had long smelled this refreshing fragrance, but was too embarrassed to speak up, now that Song Jie took the initiative to talk to her, she naturally agreed eagerly.
After spraying, the mosquitoes really didn't bother her again. Zou Meng had a physique that easily attracted mosquitoes, which was inherited from her father. Every summer was unbearable, with red bumps all over her body from bites. Except when she slept, there was no way to deal with it. She didn't expect Song Jie's stuff to be so effective.
The teacher for the evening class is absent, and the students downstairs are whispering to each other, still a little excited about this self-study session.
Zou Meng bit her lip and poked Song Jie with the other end of the ballpoint pen, Song Jie turned around to look at her.
"Song Jie, where did you buy this mosquito repellent? I also want to buy a few bottles, I love attracting mosquitoes the most, this stuff is really useful."
"This is what I mixed myself, if you want it, I'll go back and bring a bottle for you." Zou Mengping usually had a good relationship with her, so sending one or two bottles was no big deal.
"Are you kidding me?" Zou Meng asked in a low and surprised tone, seeing Song Jie nodding, he blinked his eyes as if believing and doubting at the same time. He usually knew that Song Jie was very capable, but didn't expect her to be even more capable than he imagined.
"Then can you give me a few more bottles? My dad also loves to attract mosquitoes. I won't take it for free, will you sell them to me?" Zou Meng gazed at Song Jie with pleading eyes.
Song Jie heard that she was doing it to be filial, and her heart softened immediately. This kind of behavior is also worth promoting. "No need for money, I'll just bring back a few more bottles when I return, no trouble at all."
"How embarrassing!" Zou Meng's face turned red with shame, unwilling to accept something for free.
"It's okay, anyway I'll be using it too, just add a bit more later."
Zou Meng reluctantly agreed, but in her heart she was indeed a bit uneasy. The next day during class break, she even bought a big pile of snacks for Song Jie, and only then did she feel at ease.
Song Jie looked at her with a hint of admiration, this was a filial and principled girl who knew how to distinguish between kindness and resentment.
In the afternoon, Song Jie indeed took out four bottles of mosquito repellent from her backpack and gave three to Zou Meng. They were all large bottles, and she kept one for herself. Zou Meng looked quite embarrassed when receiving them, her face turned red, it was clear that she had never received kindness from others before.
In the evening when school was over, Zou Meng carefully took home the mosquito repellent and gave it to her father. Her father was quite fat and loved to attract mosquitoes, and he truly hated summer.
He hadn't paid much attention to the things his daughter had brought, but out of consideration for her kindness, he sprayed some. At that time, he felt that the fragrance was particularly refreshing and invigorating. Those perfumes, he didn't know how many he used, were completely useless, with a strong smell that was frightening, making people feel irritable.
After spraying, he cut a few slices of iced watermelon for his daughter and went to the yard alone to cool off. Unexpectedly, the mosquitoes that had been disturbing him were gone, and it was especially cool all around.
He got up and went back into the house, saw his daughter doing her homework, and asked: "Mengmeng, this perfume is so good to use, where did you get it from?"
"Dad, this isn't perfume, it's mosquito repellent. My classmate said she made it herself. I have some that works really well, so I asked her for some."
"You're just taking advantage of others then?"
"No, I even bought snacks for Song Jie, how can I take something from someone else for free?" The father and daughter both had a nature that didn't like to take advantage of others.
"When the time comes, ask her if she's willing to sell. We need a lot of it at home, and it's not good to always use other people's things for free. Summer is really unbearable. If it doesn't work out, just forget it, don't bother her too much, or else people will say you're not well-behaved."
"I know, Dad." Zou Meng hastily nodded.
Zou's father fanned himself and went to the yard to enjoy the cool breeze.
Another day passed, and Song Jie found that Zou Meng was hesitant to speak to her, even the blind man noticed something was off.
"Zou Meng, is there something you want to say to me?" Song Jie asked proactively.
"I... I'm a bit embarrassed to say it out loud. I used your mosquito repellent on my dad last night, and it was really effective. My dad asked me to ask you if we could buy some from you. Of course, if not, that's okay." The little girl's face turned bright red with embarrassment.
"This... " Song Jie looked at the little girl's changing face for a while, then said: "Of course, it's okay." If she didn't want money, Zhōu Mèng probably wouldn't want her own things.
"Really? That's great!" Zou Mengxiao's small tiger teeth were all exposed, exceptionally cute.
Song Jie also felt good about it, helping others is the source of happiness after all.
Every time during evening self-study, the two seats would always spray mosquito repellent, and the mosquitoes would naturally disappear. The people sitting next to them also benefited from this, and they couldn't help but notice their strange behavior of spraying fragrant water.
Song Jie didn't like to socialize with people usually, and those people wouldn't ask her but would ask Zou Meng instead. Zou Meng naturally couldn't answer, it was already troublesome enough for Song Jie, how could she speak randomly.
As more people asked, Zou Meng couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed, after all, she wasn't good at lying and hiding the truth was already her limit.
Song Jie couldn't bear to look at it and admitted that she had brought the mosquito repellent, but didn't mention that she had made it herself.
At one time, Song Jie's seat was crowded with people coming to borrow her mosquito repellent, which made the originally quiet-loving her extremely annoyed.
To get rid of trouble, Song Jie had to work hard again, using traditional Chinese medicine to make a new mosquito repellent and selling the formula to Zhang Fu once and for all.
Zhang Fu obtained the formula as if it were a treasure, Hong Yan was fiery and popular, but the variety was single, finally a new product could be launched.
PS: I've caught a cold recently, it's really uncomfortable. The weather is getting colder, everyone should take care of their bodies too.
