How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 364 - 366: Aesthetics_1

After the students went on vacation, the campus was very quiet.

Li Qiao returned to the dormitory from the library with materials she had borrowed and studied with Ma Hongxiang.

That day.

The duty dorm supervisor knocked on the door, "Li Qiao, someone is looking for you outside."

Li Qiao thought it was Qin Jin, but when she went out, she saw Han Ting and others waiting for her.

She exclaimed excitedly, "You guys really came, from all over the place, how did you all get together?"

"We arrived yesterday, first met up at the station, then came to look for you," Du Xinxin said.

Li Qiao asked, "Have you guys eaten?"

"We had dinner already and found a place to stay, can you show us around your school?"

"Sure," Li Qiao was more than happy to play tour guide.

She led everyone around in a leisurely walk, purposely taking them to the school’s bulletin board.

"You even got into graduate school after skipping grades, that’s really awesome!"

Li Qiao chuckled, it was what she deserved, "My partner has started a garment factory specializing in women’s clothing, do you want to go check it out?"

"Sure."

"Why don’t you sell men’s clothing?" Zou Qing said, "Us men also need to dress up."

Li Qiao replied, "He manages a leather shoe factory too, I’ll take you to see the leather shoes later, you can pick any style you like."

"Qin Jin is truly amazing, managing a garment factory and a leather shoe factory at the same time, can he handle it all?"

Li Qiao beamed, "He has many brothers by his side, he delegates tasks to each person, so naturally he can manage." For instance, Li Jianguo and Feng Kui were in charge of running business, Liu Er was responsible for arranging contacts, and there were others she wasn’t familiar with, each overseeing different matters.

Li Jinhua’s words were really accurate.

He had the ability to lead, make calls, and decide.

"......"

........

After touring the school, Li Qiao led them to the garment factory.

"Isn’t this just a private home?" Wang Nannan asked.

Li Qiao replied, "The factory building hasn’t started construction yet, we can only nest here for now."

"You can even build a factory, that’s impressive. We haven’t seen each other for a year, and you two have left everyone else behind."

Everyone sighed inwardly.

The difference between people is too great.

Especially Qin Jin, who would have thought that a loser could now own a garment factory and a shoe factory?

Appearances can be deceiving.

Li Qiao smiled with her eyes curved.

Old Mrs. Qin, hearing the commotion, came out and felt a warm familiarity upon seeing the visitors: "Have you all gone on vacation? How many days do you have off?"

"A month or so, school doesn’t start again until after the Lantern Festival."

Old Mrs. Qin said, "There’s no place to sit inside, make yourselves at home for now, later you can follow Qiaoqiao back to her place."

"Oh, we’re not in a rush to sit."

After exchanging pleasantries.

Li Qiao led the educated youths and villagers to meet.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted.

They stopped their work and chatted among themselves.

Some inquired about school, others about romantic partners.

When they learned that Han Ting and Du Xinxin were a couple, and that Zou Qing and Liu Jing were also together, they teased Wang Nannan, "When do you plan to find a partner?"

"After graduation," Wang Nannan said.

"Can’t you grab someone from the school?"

Wang Nannan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, where could she just grab someone? "It’s hard to snag one." Their school was probably the strictest in terms of managing this aspect; if students had a relationship and there was evidence, they would be criticized in a bulletin.

Those who were criticized usually dropped out of school.

Otherwise, there would always be people pointing fingers and making comments.

Han Ting and the others’ schools were comparatively more relaxed, and even if students were dating, the school would pretend not to see.

The reason was, it’s normal for adolescents to think of having relationships.

She also felt at this age it was right to have a partner, as long as it didn’t interfere with academic studies.

Constantly criticizing or firing someone can be too harsh and inhumane.

"....."

.....

After chatting for a while, Li Qiao took Du Xinxin and the other two into the fitting room.

Du Xinxin fell for the overcoat by the door at first glance, "This coat looks lovely and it seems so warm. The fabric feels thick too. How much is it?"

"Just take it and wear it."

"I couldn’t possibly do that."

Everyone browsed and picked their favorite designs, insisting on paying.

Li Qiao symbolically accepted the cost price and then showed them around the living area. Afterward, he invited them for a meal, took them to a leather shoe factory for a visit, and finally to the guest house, not far from the school.

Five of them booked two rooms.

The men in one room, the women in another.

Li Qiao checked out the environment, the rooms were tidy and clean, and everyday items were available. "I’ll take you guys to the ancient city tomorrow."

"Sounds great."

"When are you planning to go back home for the New Year?" they asked.

Li Qiao replied, "I plan to leave on the 25th of the last lunar month, when do you plan to leave?"

"Day after tomorrow, we’ve already bought the tickets."

"....."

It seemed like they had endless topics to talk about, and at nine o’clock in the evening, Qin Jin came to the guest house to walk Li Qiao home.

Li Qiao and the educated youths agreed to meet at the school gate at 8 a.m. the next day to take a bus to the ancient city, and then follow Qin Jin home.

The following day, Li Qiao got up early and went back to school, all prepared.

Coming out of the alley, she bumped into Nan Chuyi, who was carrying a basket of vegetables. Li Qiao greeted her cheerfully, "Mrs. Xue, when did you get back?"

"Got back yesterday afternoon. Just had a moment to relax, and then I was sent out to buy groceries."

Li Qiao chuckled, "You should get Professor Xue to do it."

"He’s not used to our local conditions, ended up with a bad stomach and is weak from diarrhea, lying in bed." Nan Chuyi felt helpless; a big man, yet more fragile than she was.

She suspected it was because the parents had the child at an old age, which made the constitution weak.

But his pulse was normal. She reckoned it was a case of naturally low vitality, leading to weak resistance.

She planned to observe him for a while longer so she could help him recover his health.

......

After exchanging a few words, they parted ways.

Li Qiao arrived at the school gate, met up with the educate youths, took them to the ancient city in the morning, and even took photos outside the city for memories. In the afternoon, she took them to the zoo.

They had originally planned to visit the museum, but Du Xinxin, who had never seen a real monkey before, wanted to see one.

The zoo had all sorts of animals except lions and tigers.

They lingered until the evening before they began to leave.

"I had such a full day today, but it’s so tiring. My legs are sore from all the walking."

Li Qiao’s legs were weak with fatigue; she hadn’t napped in the afternoon, and now she was incredibly sleepy. She insisted on seeing everyone back to their rooms.

"You don’t have to come see us off tomorrow, we can make our own way."

"Alright. Be careful on the way back," Li Qiao said as she left.

When she got home, she was so exhausted she fell right asleep. When she woke up, it was already the next morning. She stretched languidly, got up feeling refreshed and walked out to see Old Mrs. Qin at home, and in surprise, she asked, "Grandma, why aren’t you at work today?"

"Fugui and Maimiao are planning to go back to our hometown tomorrow, and I decided to go with them. I’m taking the day off today," Old Mrs. Qin said.

"Why are you going back alone?"

"To tidy up the house," Old Mrs. Qin replied. It was almost the New Year, and they couldn’t expect others to clean their house. Besides, she wanted to go home early to buy some New Year goods and then wait for the children to come home for the New Year’s celebration.

Li Qiao said, "What’s there to tidy in two rooms?"

Old Mrs. Qin chuckled, "Still, I must go back. Now that you are pregnant, be careful wherever you go."

"Sure," Li Qiao agreed.

She followed Old Mrs. Qin to help her pack.

As they were folding clothes, Old Mrs. Qin handed her a passbook: "This is the allowance Jin has been giving me. I’m too old to wander around shopping now, and I have no use for it. Take it."

Li Qiao glanced over it; there was more than five thousand yuan. "That’s a lot, I don’t need it."

"Take it. Buy yourself some decent clothes and the most expensive makeup you can find. When you have money, spend it freely. Like me, I splurged enough when I was young, and even when I was poor later on, I didn’t feel short-changed. Also, don’t let Jin’s taste ruin you anymore, especially the bright red clothes he prepares for you. His mother loved wearing red, she looked beautiful in it. You may wear it occasionally for a dazzling effect, but wearing it often might seem tacky. You suit light colors."

Li Qiao: "........" How long had Grandma been holding back those words? And Qin Jin; so it was because his own mother loved red clothing that he prepared red items for her and their future daughter!
