Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Seeing Chen Xueru's face turn bright red, Chen Jun smiled and pinched her cheek.

"Xueru, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow. I'll take a day off tomorrow and take you shopping."

“I know you’re a little rich, but marriage is a lifelong commitment. I’ll try my best to fulfill any requests you may have.”

The two had talked about betrothal gifts and dowries once before when they were being affectionate, but Chen Xueru said she didn't care about betrothal gifts and instead wanted her parents to give her more dowry items.

However, Chen Jun felt it wasn't quite right to simply take advantage of his father-in-law, so he wanted to take Chen Xueru to buy some wedding supplies. He currently had enough coupons, so buying everything they needed at once wouldn't be a problem.

But after thinking it over, Chen Jun realized that Chen Xueru had everything she needed, so he decided to take her shopping and buy her whatever she liked.

"Well, let me think about it."

Chen Xueru got up and walked around the room, then pointed to the large bed and said, "I want a set of red sheets and duvet cover, for a festive look."

"I also want a wedding pot, a wedding basin, and a wedding towel."

"Besides these, I also want you to cook for me for the rest of my life!"

Chen Xueru comes from a well-off family and doesn't lack material things, so she values ​​spiritual things more.

If Chen Jun could cook delicious food for him for the rest of his life, he would be overjoyed.

The only thing to worry about is whether eating too much will make me fat!

As for the red bed sheets and duvet covers, the wedding basin, and the like, I just heard about them from the elders around me. Preparing these things for a wedding is not only festive, but also has a good meaning.

"That's it?" Chen Jun looked at Chen Xueru and reminded her, "You haven't mentioned the bride price yet. How about eighty-eight? If that's not possible, eight hundred and eighty-eight will do."

"Are you crazy? Why give such a large dowry!"

Chen Xueru rejected Chen Jun's suggestion without even thinking: "Your money is my money. We'll need money for many things after we get married. Anyway, my parents don't lack money, so ten yuan will be fine."

Good guy!

All you need is a ten-yuan dowry and some bed sheets and duvet covers.

Seeing this, Chen Jun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thinking how wonderful this era was.

Decades later, men will face immense pressure to get married. They'll need a house, money, and a car, and they also need to have a good job and good looks.

Here, although material conditions are scarce, as long as a girl takes a liking to you, nothing else matters.

Pure, everything is pure.

"Actually, I've already prepared the bright red four-piece bedding set. My mom also made a few cotton quilts. Once we get our marriage certificate tomorrow, we can start using the new quilts."

After saying that, Chen Jun got up, opened the wardrobe, and took out a four-piece bedding set that he had prepared in advance.

These four-piece sets weren't bought from the market; they were obtained through a system check-in. It's not just one bright red set, but several sets in other colors as well.

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment when she saw the bright red four-piece bedding set that Chen Jun had taken out.

She hadn't expected Chen Jun to have prepared all of this so early, and judging by the fabric, it didn't seem to be anything special.

Chen Xueru deals with fabrics all day long, and she doesn't need to touch them to know if they are of good or bad quality; she can tell at a glance.

But this set of bed sheets and duvet covers caught Chen Xueru's eye, and she touched them with her hands, which aroused her curiosity.

"Chen Jun, where did you buy this? The material is so good."

"And this embroidery, it shouldn't be from the north, it looks like Suzhou embroidery, it's so beautiful, it's just too beautiful."

As if caught in a professional habit, Chen Xueru spread the sheets and blankets on the bed and examined them carefully, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.

Seeing this, Chen Jun couldn't help but scratch his chin.

Ever since he signed in to the four-piece set from the system, he just left it in the closet without studying it carefully. Well... even if he did study it, he wouldn't understand it anyway.

Men don't care about these things, as long as it works.

But unexpectedly, its excellent quality attracted Chen Xueru's attention.

"Hmm... I asked a friend to buy it from Hong Kong. What do you think? Do you like it?"

"I love it! I love it so much!"

Chen Xueru clung to the bed sheet, unwilling to let go, but her eyes sparkled not only with happiness but also with excitement.

"Chen Jun, this set must be expensive. Just the fabric alone would cost at least forty or fifty yuan. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the embroidery. It's so exquisite. It must have been stitched by an embroiderer stitch by stitch. I can't guess how much it cost."

Chen Xueru estimated in her mind that the cost of this set was at least over a hundred.

Moreover, you can't buy it on the market at all; you can't buy it even if you spend three or four hundred yuan.

No wonder it came from Hong Kong, it's really good stuff.

The thought of having such thoughtfully made bed sheets and duvet covers for her wedding filled Chen Xueru with anticipation.

But despite her anticipation, Chen Xueru was more interested in the fabric.

"Chen Jun, could you ask about the fabric for me? I'd like to get a batch of this kind of fabric; the wealthy ladies in the shop would definitely love it."

Chen Jun scratched his head: "Okay, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to find out."

After fiddling with the four-piece bedding set for a while longer, Chen Xueru reluctantly folded it up and put it away in the wardrobe.

"No one is allowed to touch the bed sheets and duvet covers without my permission!"

Chen Xueru said with a solemn expression.

Seeing how serious she was, Chen Jun knew how satisfied she was with the bright red four-piece suit.

"Alright, alright, no one else can touch it!" Chen Jun patted the spot next to him and continued, "If you have no objections, we can get our marriage certificate tomorrow and then choose a good day to hold the wedding banquet."

When it came to hosting a banquet, Chen Xueru became interested again.

"Chen Jun, who's going to cook for this banquet?"

Ok?

Chen Jun's expression stiffened, and he asked uncertainly, "Could it be that you want me to be in charge of cooking?"

"It's not impossible," Chen Xueru said, pursing her lips and smiling sweetly.

"A banquet is just a gathering of people to eat and drink. Since it's all about eating and drinking, the taste is definitely the most important thing."

"I don't trust anyone else to cook."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun immediately flicked Chen Xueru on the forehead.

"Nonsense! What kind of good family would make the groom wield a ladle at their wedding?!"

Chen Jun rejected Chen Xueru's suggestion without even thinking. This little woman was willing to let the groom cook just for a bite to eat. She must be severely punished after the wedding!

"oops!"

Chen Xueru rubbed her head, realizing that Chen Jun didn't want to cook at her wedding, so she skipped the question.

After spending some more time together, Chen Jun decided to take Chen Xueru home so she could send a message to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

As she approached the door, Chen Xueru suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"No, I have to take the sheets and blankets with me. I can't sleep with them here."

ha? ? ?

Chen Jun was completely dumbfounded.

It's just a four-piece bedding set for a wedding, why are you so concerned?
