Chapter 45 Section 3

The few sets of clothes that Ding Yi bought were a little tight.She bought it like this on purpose, in order to force herself to lose weight. The clothes have already been bought and the money has been spent, so in order to be able to wear them, especially in order to fit them well, she has to lose weight. This method really worked. Since she bought those clothes for the interview, she has paid great attention to her diet and weight. She restrained every meal and stopped eating when she was 80% full.Take out those two suits every two days and try them on to see if they are tight. If they are still tight, double your diet.

She originally wanted to go to the school gym to exercise. The tuition fee includes the cost of sports equipment. It would be a shame not to use it.But she went there once, and she scared herself back. The gym is very lively, and every machine is being used by someone who seems to be a regular customer. They use it skillfully. Some are running while listening to music, and some are pedaling. Watching TV by the car, looking at the figures of those people, there is no need to exercise at all, they are quite strong.She really didn't know if those people were exercising or performing. And look at herself, she has never used those equipment before, and she doesn't even know how to turn it on or off, maybe she will fall off the treadmill and stumble into the mud.Besides, she doesn't have any clothes to wear to the gym. She has to buy a whole set of outfits to go to the school gym. It's too troublesome, so she should do sit-ups at home.

I don't know if it's her psychological effect or the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction. Anyway, after a while, the two suits don't feel tight when she wears them.Sometimes after taking a bath at night, I shut myself in the bathroom alone, put on the clothes inside and out, put on some light makeup, and posed in front of the mirror, feeling refreshed, at least five years younger. It seems that people rely on their clothes and horses, especially for a yellow-faced woman like her who has given birth to a child. Dressing up is really important. Confidence in her appearance has increased, and interest in visiting friends has also increased. It happened that the Korean in my husband’s laboratory invited everyone to have a barbecue at home. If it was before, she would definitely refuse to do so, but this time it is different. Mention, she readily agreed.

After agreeing, I was busy buying clothes, because going to someone's house for a barbecue is not an interview, and I can't wear a suit.This time she didn't ask Lu Ping, and went to the shopping mall by herself, and observed what her husband's "fellow townsman" of the same clan for seven generations before looked like. When she got there, she went to the massage girl first.After searching for a while, I didn't find a massage girl, but I found a massage lady.There are four black massage chairs on the open space between the two rows of shops, and a middle-aged woman is there to take care of her, probably the husband's "citizen".

She observed the woman calmly, she should be older than her, about forty years old, she was well dressed, but her eyebrows were drawn exaggeratedly, as if they were drawn with eyebrow pencil after they were all pulled out; her lips were also smeared too much Red, like the red used by prostitutes in the old society; the hair is not much at all, and it is tightly combed, and it is tied into a bun at the back of the head, making the hair look thinner; the forehead is pointed and shaved, and the forehead is stripped Bare, with no bangs left, making her look even more disgraceful. All in all, that woman has completely reassured her from her appearance and dress, and her husband should not fall in love with such a woman, otherwise he can only be said to be blind.

As soon as she got near the massage chair, the woman greeted her and greeted her in broken English.Because she knew that the woman was from mainland China, she didn't speak English at all, and asked directly in Chinese, "Are you from China?" As if she had met the savior of the Communist Party, the woman immediately abandoned English with relief and switched to Chinese: "Yes, yes, you are also from China, right? Where did you come from?" "Province D." "Oh, then we are still fellow villagers." "I don't think your accent is from Province D."

"Well, my hometown is in D province." She knew that the woman's hometown might not even be in D province, so she must be trying to solicit business.Sure enough, while talking, the woman recommended the massage chair to her, saying that she could try it out for five minutes for free. She declined: "No, I want to go to the front and have a look." She walked for a while, looked back, and found that the woman was soliciting business from a male customer.After walking for a while, looking back, the man had already sat on the massage chair.It seems that fish have their way, and shrimps have their way. If she was asked to do that kind of work, she would definitely not be able to survive a day, but she didn't starve to death, and she still lived so nourishingly.

She spent most of the day shopping in the mall and bought a set of clothes for each family to participate in the Korean barbecue party. My daughter is still young, and she basically wears whatever she buys, but a few friends are already complaining that their children are getting older, and the clothes their parents buy don't even look down on them.She estimated that Ding Ding would look down on her aesthetics in a few years, and now she has to hurry up and enjoy the fun of buying clothes for her children. Her husband's clothes have always been arranged by her, and she is at her mercy. If she does not iron the clothes after washing, he will wear crumpled clothes to work.If she rolls two socks of different colors together, he wears the same one to work.As the saying goes, "the husband is the face of the wife", he doesn't care what he wears, she does, so he always tidies up his clothes neatly and neatly.

But after all, the husband and wife were not together for two or three years, and during those two or three years, she couldn't arrange his clothes.When she first came to the United States, she checked his clothes and was surprised to find that they were quite decent, matching Jackie Chan inside and out, and the colors were not so old-fashioned, at least they didn't come up with bright red and green ties and purple and blue shirts. She once tortured him on this point: "Who bought these clothes for you?" "Didn't you buy it for me?" "I just came to the United States, how could I buy it for you?"

"You bought it for me in China, and I brought it out." She did buy some clothes for him in China before, and you can tell at a glance. At that time, the suits in China always seemed to be not so authentic. They were either baggy or wide and short, and the shoulders always looked like There is a bit too much, and the waist and back always seem to be a little less, which is not close to the body. Some suits and ties were definitely not bought by her in China, and she knew they were not Chinese products, and some brands were very high-end.She said: "I bought you all, I can recognize them all, and there are some that I definitely didn't buy."

"That's what I bought myself." She couldn't imagine him going to the store to buy clothes: "You bought it yourself? I don't believe it, maybe some woman bought it for you." "Which woman would buy me clothes?" "Am I not a woman?" "You are my wife." "When I say a woman buys clothes for you, it doesn't necessarily mean that the woman spends money to buy it for you. It may be that you paid for it yourself and she picked it for you. Do you admit it or not?" "Nothing, what do you want me to admit?" She picked out an "Armani" suit: "I definitely didn't buy this one." "That's what I bought." "This is a designer suit, how can you afford it?" He picked up the suit and looked left and right: "Is this a designer suit?" "of course." "How expensive?" "It must be thousands." "Thousands? Dollars?" "Of course it is US dollars. If it is RMB, it may cost tens of thousands." He shook his head again and again: "It must not be so expensive, how can I afford such expensive clothes?" "But it's a fact that the clothes are hanging in your closet." He looked puzzled. She asked, "Did a rich woman give it to you?" "No woman has ever given me anything, except you. You really didn't buy it?" "Are you still asking about me? I've already said that I definitely didn't buy this." He scratched the back of his head and said, "That's weird. Could it be that it fell from the sky? I've never bought such expensive clothes. Thousands of dollars a piece of clothes, I'll wear them to death?" His expression was so sincere, and she believed him a little bit, but it was also true that there was such a famous brand suit in the closet. That matter had been in her mind for a long time, and finally the mystery was revealed: it was given to him by his French tutor. Once he was going to a meeting, the tutor felt that he had no clothes to wear, so he took his old clothes. A few sets of clothes were given to him. She was relieved: "I said why it looks a bit old. It turned out to be a gift from the instructor. Why didn't you say it earlier?" "I've forgotten about it." "Then why did you suddenly remember it?" "As soon as I talked about it in the laboratory, they all helped me think about it, and the French boy remembered it." She was taken aback: "You said this in the laboratory?" "What's the matter?" "This is a matter between our husband and wife. How can you take it to the laboratory and talk about it?" He faltered: "You didn't say you can't say it." She had to ask him again, telling him not to take everything to the laboratory, and he agreed, but she knew that he would forget it in a few days, or that he didn't know which things belonged to "what things", He is very dogmatic in this kind of matter. If you say that you can’t take the matter of the suit to the laboratory, he only knows that you can’t bring the matter of the suit to the laboratory, but he will bring the matter of the shirt to the laboratory in a few days. Take it to the laboratory, because the shirt is not a suit.Unless you have supernatural powers and can foresee all the things that cannot be said, and give instructions in advance, otherwise he will definitely slip up. On the day when she went to a Korean family for a barbecue, she took out the new clothes of the three of them and forced everyone to put them on, only to find that the clothes of her daughter and her husband fit well and looked beautiful in them.And hers is not as good-looking as her daughter and husband, and there are some minor problems. The sleeves seem to be too long, and the collar is not symmetrical. Put on some light makeup, use a curling iron to slightly curl the hair into big waves, and it's over. When she packed everything up and walked out of the room, both her daughter and her husband were stunned. The daughter said, "Mom, you are so beautiful! I want to put on some makeup too." The husband looked at her and smirked. She said happily: "How about it, your wife should dress up a bit, so she won't be old or ugly?" "Hehe, I'm not old or ugly." "Remember, those women you see outside, they all wear makeup. And you see me at home every day, without makeup. You can't take their makeup faces like mine. A face without makeup. If you let them take off their makeup, they will definitely be uglier than me." He just laughed. The daughter pestered her: "Mom, I want to make up too." "Don't change, cosmetics are not good for the skin, don't ruin your pretty little face." "Then how do you want to melt?" "Mom is old, and her complexion is not as good as yours. When you go out as a guest, you have to calm down, lest your father feel that your mother has lost him." Dad said, "Ding Ding, is Mom talking nonsense?" Ding Ding was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. She rescued her daughter and said, "Let's go, we're going to be guests, if we don't go we'll be late." Koreans live in apartments. The house is not very good, but it is very clean.I heard that Korean women are obsessed with cleanliness. When they get home, they kneel on the ground to wipe the floor.This Korean was no exception. The room was covered with carpets, and there was no floor to wipe, so he just polished the stove, refrigerator, bathroom, etc. to a bright shine. The barbecue was originally carried out in the open space behind the Korean building, where there was a shared barbecue grill for the apartment, but the weather was bad that day and it was a bit cold outside, so we decided to move it indoors, leaving only two people to barbecue outside. Take it to the house for dinner. Ding Yi originally wanted to volunteer to go to the barbecue, but the clothes she was wearing were a bit thin, and she was not protected from the wind outside, and she was afraid of getting her clothes dirty and messing up her hair, so her husband rushed to the back of the building to have a barbecue. up. The Koreans didn't go to the barbecue themselves, they ran around the house and acted as the commander-in-chief. Xiao Wen ran to the barbecue grill, but soon ran back into the house, probably afraid of the cold. From time to time, she would go to the back window of the Korean, and watch her husband and the Frenchman in the laboratory standing in the cold wind and grilling. She was ashamed to stand there watching all the time, and she always took a look and went back to the living room to talk to other people.Once, as soon as she walked to the rear window, she heard a Korean behind her say in English: "I heard you want to have a baby?" She was taken aback, and asked in English, "Who did you listen to?" "Of course Dr. Man said it." She wished she could sew his mouth shut with a needle. Koreans say in English: "If you want to increase the hit rate, you should do it before ovulation, not after ovulation." She remembered that Koreans are obstetricians and gynecologists, maybe it’s just out of the doctor’s instinct to be a good teacher, so she asked in English, “Why is it before ovulation?” The Korean babbled a lot in English, which seemed very professional, but she only understood the general idea. In summary, the sperm and egg are combined in the fallopian tube, and the sperm goes from the male body to the female fallopian tube. It takes a certain amount of time for each part, and the egg is discharged from the ovary and soon reaches the fallopian tube. The sperm can survive in the fallopian tube for about 48 hours, while the egg can only survive in the fallopian tube for 12 to 16 hours.If you wait until after ovulation, it will be too late. By the time the sperm reaches the fallopian tube, the egg may be dead. She felt that what the Koreans said made sense, so she replied sincerely: "Thank you, I will try as you said." The Korean said again: "That Wen, she always tries to get close to your husband, you have to be careful." She stands in the way of her husband: "They are just working contact." "No, she always told him about love and marriage, and about having children. I knew from her conversation with him that you wanted to have a second child. Just now she ran outside again , I want to barbecue with your husband, is that a work contact?" Her eyes turned green with anger, but she didn't know what to say. The Korean said: "As soon as I saw Wen doing this, I would stop her. You see, I called her away just now." She couldn't help but said, "Oh, you called her away just now? I thought she was afraid of the cold and ran away." "She didn't run away by herself, I asked her to come in and help me make drinks." She wanted to say thank you, but couldn't. The Korean continued in English: "I usually keep an eye on Wen, and if Wen stays late in the lab, I stay there too late so she doesn't have a chance to do anything to your husband." She is grateful to the Koreans, but she doesn't understand why the Koreans want to help her.
