1635 Chapter 1635
After entering the city, Yu Laohan was going to find his son, and told Li Qiulan's mother and son about his residence, saying that if there was anything to help with, just go and find it, which sounded enthusiastic, but it was also kind words, anyway, Li Qiulan glanced at what kind of street the other party pointed to, and was not ready to go over to find someone to help.
From Yu Laohan's mouth, Li Qiulan already knew where some places in the city were, so she thanked him and said goodbye to him.
After less than two days of getting along, the two children had a good impression of Yu Laohan, or a sense of security, as soon as the other party left, Chen Juan was a little nervous, looking at everywhere as if she was looking at potential danger, completely tense and unable to relax.
Chen Mingkang was still a little curious, but he was pulled tightly by her, and he seemed to be infected by the tension on the other party, and then became uncomfortable.
The gap between the rich and the poor in the city is still very obvious, and those who walk on the street can walk leisurely with well-dressed clothes, and those who are poorly dressed can consciously find corners and squat, or simply walk against the wall, and walk with their shoulders shrunk and their eyes drooping for fear of being seen, and the difference in temperament is obvious.
It's like two kinds of people living in a city, you don't have to look at people by clothes, you can also distinguish different levels by looking at temperament.
"Mother, where are we going?" asked Chen Juan, her voice like a gnat.
It's as if a louder voice will alarm others, and others will cast strange looks.
Li Qiulan glanced at her, then looked at Chen Mingkang, who was silent and trusting, and asked directly, "Kang'er, what do you say?"
"Me?" was asked a little unexpectedly, Chen Mingkang has long been accustomed to his mother being in charge of major matters in the family, and when he was asked at this time, he was a little surprised, and thought about it and said, "Let's find a place to live first, a cheaper place, everything in the city must be expensive, we don't have much money, we have to save a little." ”
His brain is not real wood, compared to the scholars who were completely unfamiliar with ordinary things in ancient times, Chen Mingkang's thinking is much more organized, and it is obvious that he has not thought about anything along the way.
Li Qiulan also thinks so, but if you come out of the errand place, it is better to live comfortably in the village, then it is really better not to come out.
"Find a hotel to rest first. ”
Saying this, Li Qiulan led them to the hotel that Yu Laohan said, it was a cheap hotel with good quality and low price, naturally cheap, and it couldn't be too good in other aspects, Li Qiulan opened a room here, put things for the time being, and went out with the two children.
Chen Juan is still a little worried about those things, it is worth a lot of money, don't look at the lack of things, it is not good, but it costs money to buy.
Li Qiulan seemed to have no money, took her two children to the ready-to-wear shop, and put on a fairly bright dress directly for each person, and changed into a set of good-looking ones, and combed her hair again, no longer the old-fashioned and old-fashioned bun, nor a dark gray and black clothes, her skin and face have not changed for the better, but it also seems to have changed a person, and she has a sense of brilliance.
She is like this, Chen Juan changed into new clothes, and her spirit also followed, showing the girl's innocence and loveliness, looking at her with a smile, and praising seriously: "Mother is so good-looking." ”
Fortunately, the original owner didn't let Chen Juan get along with those women in the village before, and learned a "traditional" problem, and when she saw her dressed like this, she didn't feel that it shouldn't be so bright.
Li Qiulan didn't praise her, the original owner didn't like to praise people, Chen Juan's appearance was not very good-looking, at most it was not ugly, she was short, her body was shriveled, and she really forced herself to say a good word against her will.
Chen Mingkang saw it and said that it was good-looking, but he was a little hesitant, obviously some concepts still affected him.
"When you come to this city, you can't wear these old clothes anymore, they don't look decent, we will be city people in the future. ”
Li Qiulan's words seemed to be explaining, and as if she was making a wish, the old tailor who was selling clothes on the side listened and nodded with a smile: "But isn't it, the people in this city are going to be beautiful." How beautiful a little girl is, she looks good in this way, and she will wear it like this in the future. ”
The business of three pieces of clothing, making a small profit, is always happy, and it is good to come often in the future.
Chen Mingkang stretched the corners of his clothes, tried to make the clothes smoother, and then looked at the old clothes that had been changed and folded aside, I have to say that the gap between the old and the new is still obvious, and he is not very happy to let him wear the old ones again.
In the end, he was still young, and he didn't worry too much about money, and he quickly laughed at the new clothes.
Li Qiulan didn't care too much about their thoughts, child, where are there people who are not happy to wear new clothes.
The old clothes were originally unwanted, but Chen Juan was reluctant, so she used her old clothes as a wrapper, wrapped the other two, brought them back, and added another piece of luggage to the hotel.
Li Qiulan bought three rattan boxes that looked good, which were the style of the suitcases, with a special handle for easy carrying.
Those burdens were repacked by Chen Juan and stuffed into three boxes, they were really stuffed in, the thin quilt took up more space, and it was hard to press it to buckle the box.
When I go out again, the three of them are much neater.
Because there was no accommodation, I told the boss that he was a kind person, and he only charged them a little money, and he deducted the fee for the hourly room.
This afternoon, Li Qiulan changed three places repeatedly, from a small hotel to a mid-range hotel, and then to the Meihua Hotel, and changed her clothes every time she changed places, and when she checked into the Meihua Hotel, although their clothes were not very good, they could be regarded as what a medium-sized family should look like.
Chen Juan was a little apprehensive in her heart, but she couldn't bear the obedient words of the clothes shop selling clothes, back and forth, really praising people to the sky, and then seeing Li Qiulan's calm performance, she didn't hesitate at all, all her worries turned into trust and followed.
Chen Mingkang thinks more simply, my mother, just follow along, you can't be sold.
The only thing the two of them were told was not to say what their origins were. To outsiders, say that these are not guilty, if you want to ask, say it to see the world, and so on.
Two children who don't know how to pack, didn't even ask the reason, they responded, Chen Mingkang even felt a little taken for granted, making friends with people, and not saying what his parents did as soon as he came up, he didn't have the capital to show off, although he didn't feel that he was embarrassed, but there was no need to tell everyone about his family.
Chen Juan only nodded, she never disobeyed Li Qiulan's words, she was honest and obedient.
Every time Li Qiulan saw her like this, she hated her a little bit that iron could not become steel, no wonder she was bullied to death in the plot, this kind of indisputable temperament is too breathtaking.
The Meihua Hotel is not an international hotel, but the guests who come and go are either rich or expensive, such as Li Qiulan's mother and son, it is still a little too low-end, if it is not for Li Qiulan's temperament to hold up, the waiter will not look at people squarely.
It wasn't until Li Qiulan said that she wanted a suite, which made the waiter's smile more sincere, and she hurriedly carried her luggage and sent it upstairs.
Settling down this night, it is the rhythm of spending all the belongings, and the rent of several years can't help but be so upside down, just one afternoon, one person added two new clothes, and the previous one was taken off not long after the upper body, Li Qiulan asked Chen Juan to throw away the old clothes, leaving only the new one, Chen Juan was reluctant, and said that she would return the one in front of her, so that she could exchange some money.
It's rare for her to have an idea, and Li Qiulan doesn't suppress it, but it's not good for her to return her clothes alone, and then she can't return or not, so she will talk about it until the next day.
The next day, Chen Mingkang stayed in the hotel to read, Li Qiulan went out alone for a morning, and then came back to take the two out to dinner, and then took the three sets of clothes to the shop they had been to before.
I bought it yesterday, and I will return it today, even if the clothes are not damaged and dirty, the tailor's face is a little unsightly, Chen Juan looked at Li Qiulan at a loss, she didn't finish saying that she would return the clothes before, so she couldn't go on, she was very helpless.
Li Qiulan said directly to the tailor: "If you return this piece, we will get a better one, otherwise, we won't buy it from you." ”
The clothes on their bodies were the ones they wore when they stayed at the Marvel Hotel yesterday, and the clothes that could keep the waiters there from driving people away were indeed more expensive.
When the tailor saw it, he laughed again: "Look at what scared me, I thought I couldn't deal with it, we are also a serious deal, I'm afraid that something will happen." Come with me, we have this on you, we have it here, I guarantee it is not bad..."
Chen Juan's face was flushed, and she always felt that she had done something wrong, saying that she had returned her clothes, so why did she buy them again?
She couldn't make up her mind in her heart, her lips moved, she didn't dare to say anything, she followed Li Qiulan to try on clothes, and after trying on, she changed them out directly.
The tailor took the initiative to wrap the set of clothes they had changed, and the returned clothes were also put away, and the cost was directly folded in these three sets, smiling attentively.
Li Qiulan also gave the money happily, and after receiving the money, the tailor's attitude was better, and she also recommended dresses to them.
"The dresses we have here are all made from the outside, don't look at it as if it's not from abroad, it's guaranteed to be a good thing, and the ladies and ladies like it." ”
"Forget it, I don't really like that. Li Qiulan made a traditional and old-fashioned appearance, and her chin was slightly raised, showing a bit of casual contempt.
Seeing this, the tailor hurriedly changed his tone: "Yes, I think it's also fancy..."
After saying a few words, a new guest came over, the tailor's attention turned around, and Li Qiulan took Chen Juan away.
Chen Juan was holding the cloth bag with clothes in her arms, like a little maid, following Li Qiulan, her voice was terrified: "Mother, did I do something wrong?"
That little pitiful look, like a snail nervously retracted its tentacles, full of nervousness and fear, on the street, Li Qiulan didn't say anything, looked at her: "Don't say this outside, straighten your back, walk generously, and go back to talk." ”
Chen Juan moved in response to the voice, her body reacted faster than her brain, as if she had been trained thousands of times, which made people look sympathetic, as for being afraid of becoming like this?
Angry again, Li Qiulan went back but didn't say this again, some things, said that it was useless, but let people see for themselves, slowly understand, just like learning this matter, if you don't work hard, can others stuff knowledge into your brain? Even if she can, she is too lazy to spend that effort. 166 Reading Network
