Chapter 219: Strike a Deal
"Dahua had been ordered by Shen Yiqiu to come pick me up," Yang Peimin said with a laugh while patting his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Dahua, you even came to pick me up."
Dahua scratched his head as if feeling a bit too old to have his head patted and seemed somewhat embarrassed, "My mom said it was your first time walking this way and was afraid you’d get lost, so she sent me to check on you. My school is not too far from yours, so it was convenient for me to drop by on my way."
"It’s just that I get out of school a bit earlier than you do, and I walk fast. I’ve already been home and back. Sister Hu, who asked you to make clothes this morning, came by again. She’s been waiting for you in the yard for almost half an hour, and she even went into our house to look at the sewing machine..."
Yang Peimin: "..."
When we got back to the yard, there was indeed Miss Hu, her face full of impatience, but when she saw Yang Peimin, a smile appeared, only to be quickly suppressed as she glanced at her and asked, "Why did it take so long?"
Since they hadn’t set a time in the morning, Yang Peimin didn’t expect to see her until noon and thought Miss Hu might not come at all. She greeted Miss Hu with a smile, "Miss Hu, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."
Miss Hu had changed clothes from this morning, now wearing a blue short-sleeved casual shirt with true-blue linen trousers, black leather shoes, her hair half-tied and half-loose, adding a touch of softness to her look. She followed Yang Peimin and stopped at the gate of the An Family, frowning slightly, pointing inside and asking, "Do you live in there?"
Yang Peimin shook her head and pointed to Aunt Fan’s house, "No, I live over there; this place belongs to my elder sister."
Miss Hu seemed relieved, "That’s good. I thought you lived inside. It looks like there isn’t even a place to sit down, let alone to make good clothes. I came over now to bring you fabric and measurements, and I wanted to see your workplace to ensure that the clothes you make will be clean and tidy."
