Chapter Twenty-Five: Turning Danger into Relief
It was Mrs. Li's friend who opened the door, she looked at Nan Qiao and glanced at the cheongsam she was holding, then turned sideways and said, "Come in." ”
Nan Qiao walked up to Mrs. Li with a cheongsam, "Madam, the clothes have been changed, please give it a try." ”
Mrs. Li is naturally not optimistic about Nanqiao, she doesn't think that this village girl can handle this skirt well, but in order to play the next game, she still has to wear this cheongsam.
Picking up the clothes disdainfully, Mrs. Li walked into the dressing room, and the moment she wore the cheongsam, she couldn't believe that everything in front of her was real.
"Tu~Tu~"
Nan Qiao stood nervously outside the door and knocked on the door, her palms were full of sweat, Mrs. Li had been in for too long, and she felt scared for a while.
"Squeak~"
The door opened, and Mrs. Li walked out wearing the golden silk cheongsam, and all the rich ladies were dumbfounded, no one could have imagined that this was actually the scratched cheongsam just now.
"Oh my God~"
Someone in the rich wife group couldn't help but exclaim.
They all felt that the current cheongsam was better looking than the style just now, the shorter skirt looked more playful and youthful than the previous one, and the cumbersome embroidery on the skirt was only a little faint now because of the truncation, so that the overall look would not be so light-headed.
The cheongsam highlights a kind of classical beauty, but the style is too old and heavy, there is no novelty, and now after such a change, there is a trend taste of modern elements.
The collision of classical and modern gives people an indescribable feeling.
"Is it pretty?"
Mrs. Li stretched out her arms with a smile and spun around in front of the rich ladies.
"Good-looking, Mrs. Li, I think it's better than the style just now, it's more suitable for you, I'm conservative, at least five years younger. ”
"yes, yes. ”
The wives around him chimed in.
Nanqiao stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, it was so dangerous, this level should be passed.
Mrs. Li picked up her bag and took out 20,000 yuan from it and gave it to Nanqiao.
"Little girl, this is a tip for you, and I appreciate your vision and courage, you will definitely become a talent in the future. ”
Holding the heavy two bundles of RMB, Nanqiao kept apologizing: "Thank you, Mrs., thank you, Mrs." ”
"You're welcome, you deserve it. ”
In this way, Nan Qiao saved the danger and earned a tip for herself, but she didn't swallow it alone, she handed over 20,000 yuan to Sister Hua.
The tailor took five thousand, and the remaining five thousand Hua sisters distributed it to other colleagues in the service department, of course, the big head must be Nan Qiaona.
"Nanqiao, you are great. ”
Sister Hua patted her on the shoulder, left this sentence and left, yes, Nanqiao is really good, she feels as if she really didn't see the wrong person.
After Nan Qiao got the money, she couldn't wait to call Han Zhi, but the message "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed is temporarily unreachable" came from the other end of the phone.
And the WeChat sent to Han Zhi was also a failure.
Nanqiao lowered her eyes in disappointment, she sat at the table and looked at the neon lights outside the window, it was almost the New Year, she had been in Beicheng for half a year, and she didn't know how her grandmother was.
Taking out her mobile phone, Nanqiao plucked up the courage to call her grandmother for the first time.
"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~"
The phone rang three times, and soon someone on the other end picked it up.
"Hey, who's that?"
As soon as she heard her grandmother's voice, Nanqiao's tears fell, and she felt something blocked in her throat and couldn't speak.
"Hey, hey, talk. ”
The grandmother on the other end of the phone was still urging, Nan Qiao swallowed the tears back into her stomach, she took a deep breath and called "grandma" into the earpiece
“………”
For more than a minute, there was no sound from the receiver of the mobile phone, and then she heard her grandmother's crying.
"You dead girl, haven't you missed grandma after you've been gone for so long, do you know how worried I am about you!"
Grandma's words completely made Nan Qiao collapse, and in an instant her delicate face was covered with tears.
"I'm sorry grandma, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. ”
Except for apologizing, Nanqiao didn't know what to say at the moment.
The grandparents cried on the phone for about ten minutes, but the grandmother was distressed about the phone bill and wanted to hang up the phone.
"Wait, grandma, I will have a holiday at the place where I go to work in a few days, and when the time comes, I will go back to spend the New Year with you, what do you want to eat, I will buy it back for you in Beicheng." ”
Nan Qiao has been thinking about returning to Jing County, this New Year must be to go home and spend it with her relatives, not to mention, she has been with her grandmother all these years.
Nanqiao has earned money this year, so she can be filial to her grandmother.
The grandmother on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and did not say anything.
"Grandma?"
"Hey, Nanqiao, I'm my sister-in-law, if you want me to say that you won't come back this year, I'm here today to pick up grandma to go to your father's place for the New Year, he just bought a villa, no, he invited us all to spend the New Year, but you also know that your Aunt Fan doesn't like you, so your father didn't mention letting you go, for their good, you better don't come back, aren't you chasing that boy to Beicheng, then you and him have a good time in Beicheng." ”
"Sister-in-law, I ......"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, the phone bill is expensive, your father's car is here, we're leaving, grandma has us to take care of you, don't worry." ”
"Doodoo~"
On the other end of the phone, Nan Qiao's sister-in-law was full of words, she didn't even give Nan Qiao any chance to speak, so she hung up the phone so ruthlessly.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness, Han Zhi was lost, she couldn't go back to home, and her colleagues in the apartment were happily preparing to go home one after another to buy New Year's goods, but she could only cry here alone.
"Squeak, squeak. ”
Suddenly, her phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
Wiping away tears, Nanqiao pressed to answer Jian.
"Hey. ”
"Nanqiao, I'm Shen Dushi, and I'm downstairs in the apartment where you live. ”
Nanqiao walked to the window, opened the curtains, and sure enough, she saw Shen Dushi standing downstairs and waving at her.
"Is there something wrong?"
Nan Qiao's tone was a little cold, she didn't understand why this Shen Twilight meant.
"There's something, I have something for you when you come down. ”
What is it? Nan Qiao looked at the bracelet on her wrist, except for Han Zhen, she would not be rare with other people's things at all.
"No, it's late, you go back, stay safe on the road. ”
Shen Dushi is not Gu Shunshun, how to say that they are also classmates, Nan Qiao can't treat Shen Dushi like she dealt with that thick-skinned ghost Gu Shunshun, but she doesn't want to have too much contact with him, so the only way is to keep a cold distance.
Downstairs, Shen Dushi looked at the box in his hand, in fact, it contained two tickets, tickets back to Jing County.
Originally, Shen didn't plan to go back to Jing County at dusk, his mother was gone, the people who loved him the most in the world were gone, and that home was no longer what it was at the beginning, so what's the point of him going back.
But the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and the day before yesterday his father called to say that his grandfather was sick, and his grandfather loved him very much and had been protecting him, so Shen had to go back at dusk.
Thinking that Nanqiao also wanted to go back to Jing County, he bought two tickets, and now she avoided herself, so Shen Dushi had to leave one ticket.
He stuffed the ticket into the mailbox of Nanqiao's apartment, then sent her a WeChat message and left.
