Chapter 842 Encounter at work

On December 28, the thirty-fifth year of Chengshun, as the Spring Festival was approaching, snowflakes began to fall in Songjiang City...

However, the snow was not heavy. There were some light snowflakes in the morning. After the sun came out in the morning, the little snow on the ground had completely disappeared.

In the eyes of Sun Xu, who was born in the northwest, this kind of weather is nothing... When winter comes in his hometown, it snows, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes fly all over the sky, covering the entire earth in a blanket of snow-white.

After getting up in the morning, Sun Xu started to change clothes and get ready for work.

Sun Dawei, the boy who lived with him, had already taken the train to go home two days ago. He heard that the business at the office where he worked was average, so the boss simply took an early holiday at the end of the year and gave him a

The Spring Festival holiday lasted for half a month.

Sun Dawei, a young boy, has not been back to his hometown for two years, so he took this opportunity to pack his luggage and prepare to go back to his hometown for the New Year.

However, Sun Xu cannot go home this year. Anhua Spinning Factory, where he just joined the company, is now busy upgrading equipment. Sun Xu and other mechanics have been busy assisting equipment manufacturers in recent times.

Engineers come to install and debug the equipment. While assisting in the installation, they are also constantly learning about these mechanical equipment and making technical reserves for subsequent independent maintenance and simple repairs.

Under such circumstances, ordinary workers and ordinary administrative staff in Anhua Textile Company can take a holiday, but the Spring Festival holiday of these technical staff is not to mention completely wasted, but there are only three days left, and they have to take turns.

Fortunately, the boss is generous and promises double wages for overtime work during the Spring Festival, and will also provide additional subsidies.

Calculating this, I can earn several yuan on the deck during the Spring Festival, which is almost equivalent to a month's salary when I used to work in my hometown.

So even if he has to work overtime during the Spring Festival holiday, he is willing to do it!

The extra money I earn these days can be used to pay rent for several months.

He is now sharing a house with Sun Dawei, his younger brother. Sun Dawei originally rented the house here for a month, but he felt that the burden was a bit heavy. After all, Sun Dawei's salary is only about seven yuan on average, and he usually spends money lavishly. During his vacation,

I also like to go to entertainment venues to eat, drink and have fun, and my pockets are tight.

It happened that Sun Xu did not live in the dormitory provided by the factory after finding a job, so I simply invited Sun Xu to live with him to share the rent.

This just suited Sun Xu's wishes. Originally, he was thinking of finding a suitable house to rent in this building or next door.

It would be better to continue living here now!

Occasionally, I can still see my female neighbor next door.

In fact, in the past twenty days, he didn't have much contact with the female neighbor next door. He didn't even know her specific name. He only met her again when he went upstairs once and introduced himself when he said hello briefly.

, only to find out that the other party’s surname was Meng.

As for the name, they didn't say it, and it was hard for Sun Xu to ask.

Although we only meet once in a while, Sun Xu thinks it’s pretty good...

——

After simply changing into work clothes, he thought it would be colder outside due to snow today, and it might snow again at night, so he turned around and picked up a long duffle coat and put it on.

He put on a pair of black leather gloves and long leather boots. Before going out, he put on a small black wide-brimmed hat and took a black umbrella.

After tidying up, he opened the door and went out.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a soft sound from the door next door. I looked up slightly and saw Miss Meng also opening the door and coming out.

She was seen wearing a long cream-yellow woolen coat, and a pink skirt under the coat, but it was covered by the coat and could not be seen clearly.

On his head was a purple embroidered wide-brimmed silk hat, and in his hands were the same purple leather gloves.

Just like when Sun Xu saw her several times in the past, she was dressed in the exquisite and decent style unique to young urban women of this era. Similar to this long coat, gauze hat and gloves, Sun Xu had rarely seen her in her hometown before.

But in Songjiang City, we see it more often. Most decent women on the street wear this.

In winter, a coat, a hat and gloves are almost the three necessary sets for decent women in Songjiang City to go out!

In fact... men are the same. Many men wear coats, hats and gloves when they go out. They are even more popular. Even ordinary working men wear them like this, such as Sun Xu now.

It's just that the clothing between men and women seems to be similar, but in fact there is a big difference, because when men dress like this, they are almost all professional attire... and the color of the clothes is generally very monotonous, and they are almost always black.

, even cyan and brown are missing.

The colors are like this, and the styles are almost the same... Business attire is basically the same style, so in the contemporary Da Chu Empire, the men on the streets of Songjiang are actually wearing similar styles and colors. Of course, there are still differences in terms of fabric and workmanship.

Huge difference.

There is a big difference between wearing a business attire made of fine cashmere and wearing a business attire made of cloth.

However, women's clothing is much brighter, with various colors and styles... and there are many styles of skirts under the coats.

Sun Xu passed by a hat shop. The men's hats in it were all the same...but there were many different styles of women's hats.

In the more than thirty years since the rise of the Chu Empire, great changes have taken place in all aspects of society in the Chu Empire, including clothing.

In fact, there are relatively few changes in men's clothing, except for the addition of professional attire. In addition, there are some new work attire, which are basically for the convenience of work... Even professional attire is actually for the convenience of work.

.

For example, if someone like Sun Xu works with machinery every day, you can't let him wear a large and elegant traditional Hanfu to toy with the machinery, otherwise various accidents will easily occur.

Therefore, when Sun Xu goes to work on weekdays, he always wears a top and bottom trousers, which is business attire that is convenient for work. Traditional Hanfu is generally only worn on formal occasions, especially some traditional occasions.

For example, if he returned to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, he would definitely be wearing a good silk Hanfu during the New Year.

Wearing professional attire at work and wearing Hanfu at home or in formal ceremonial occasions is a consensus on male dress that has been formed over the years in the society of the Chu Empire.

As for women's clothing, it is much more casual... As a result, women's clothing changes greatly, almost every few years, and many of the styles were passed down from the Ouchi Imperial Palace.

For example, the modern style of women's underwear was introduced from the harem, and then it was first spread to the upper-class female relatives of the empire, and then gradually sank, and finally it has become a very popular thing now.

There are also some improved and close-fitting Hanfu, which were first spread from the imperial palace, and then quickly became popular all over the country.

Well, the so-called Hanfu in the style of later movies and TV series, although it is heresy in the eyes of orthodox Hanfu lovers, it is undeniable that most of them are quite good-looking.

There are also some modern styles of clothing that have gradually spread from the palace, such as women's high heels, silk stockings, suspender skirts, etc...

And these costumes with obvious original time and space characteristics, regardless of men's and women's... actually originate from Luo Zhixue.

Luo Zhixue himself is a modern person. He has normal modern aesthetics, and there is no way he can control him.

In the early years, he was obsessed with the clothing of modern warlord leaders, and wore a unique modern military uniform every day, which eventually evolved into military uniforms, and later evolved into professional attire.

Later, he liked to wear blue Confucian clothes in daily life...so much so that the formal daily attire of officials is still this kind of blue Confucian clothes.

In the past two years, Luo Zhixue has become more and more nostalgic for many things in his previous life, and has made some modern-style female sailor uniforms, cheongsams and other messy things. In the end, these things will inevitably flow out of the palace and appear in society.

.

It's just that some things are in line with the aesthetics and traditional concepts of contemporary Chu people and will be more popular, while some things are not so consistent and may only be circulated in a small area...

Of course, there are many things that you don’t know if someone is wearing them... After all, you can’t take off a woman’s skirt on the street to see what the underwear looks like inside.

If you do this, you will go to jail.

Sun Xu briefly looked at Miss Meng in front of him, but he was not rude to look too close. He just took a brief look, bowed slightly and nodded, and at the same time said in a greeting tone: "Miss Meng, are you working too?"

Miss Meng across from me nodded slightly: "Yes!"

In several simple exchanges with her before, Sun Xu learned from her that this woman worked in a department store... quite far away.

It's just that I don't know what to do specifically and other things.

The two of them haven't gotten to know each other well enough to talk casually and talk about anything. They can say their last names and what they do. This is basically the biggest understanding between neighbors.

Sun Dawei has lived here for several months and has met Miss Meng many times, but he still doesn’t know her last name...

Every time I see him, he just nods politely to say hello.

After a brief greeting, Sun Xu actually wanted to say a few more words, but for a while he didn't know what to say...

As a result, there were only two people walking in tandem, and the squeaking sound of stepping on the wooden stairs echoed in the stairwell.

After going downstairs and opening the door to the apartment, the cold wind from outside rushed in instantly. The cold wind hit his face and made Sun Xu couldn't help but shiver.

Subconsciously, he looked at Miss Meng behind him, who seemed to be trembling slightly... and immediately added: "It's windy and cold outside. Miss Meng should pay more attention on the road!"

Miss Meng raised her head and said, "It's okay, I'm wearing warm clothes!"

As she said that, she pointed to the lapel on her coat. It was a fur lapel. Sun Xuduo took a look at her coat. It should be made of fine woolen material on the outside and fur on the inside. It was rougher than her own coat.

material, a coat with only a layer of fine velvet inside is much better.

Braving the wind and walking on the street, Sun Xu couldn't help but turn his head and take a second look at Miss Meng who was walking beside him. He felt relieved when he saw that she really didn't look cold.

Soon we arrived at the bus stop at the intersection, and Sun Xu was waiting for the bus. The place where he lives now is actually not too far from the Anhua Textile Factory. If you take public carriage No. 12, it will take about two and a quarter minutes without traffic jams.

, the ticket price is not expensive, only eight yuan per trip.

Even if he took a public carriage back and forth every day, it would only cost more than 400 yuan a month, which was completely within Sun Xu's affordability.

At this time, Miss Meng next to her took two steps forward, stood on the side of the road and waved to the front. Soon a two-wheeled taxi with an 'empty' sign came towards the public platform.

.

Miss Meng turned slightly and said to Sun Xu: "I'm leaving first!"

Sun Xu responded: "Okay."
