Chapter 65: New Clothes
Zhang Cuilian got up and nodded with a smile: "Auntie, happy birthday!" β
Gu's mother pointed to Zhang Cuilian and said to the people behind her: "This is Zhang Cuilian, a top student in the normal school now. After speaking, he mysteriously showed off: "I have published articles in several newspapers!" β
That look of honor and honor, as if it had something to do with her.
Zhang Cuilian, a guest who came in together, recognized them as some poor relatives of the Gu family. Their family conditions are poor, but they are very good, although there are some small stammers, and they are not too much.
Zhang Cuilian also likes these people, and some clothes that the Gu family doesn't wear will also be given to them. Don't look at Gu's mother, who is a little hypocritical and a little naΓ―ve, but she has a mirror in her heart for many things.
She often said: A grain of rice raises a benefactor, and once rice raises an enemy. Zhang Cuilian didn't understand it before, but now it really is.
For these people, what the Gu family can give is nothing more than some commonly used things, and what people give back is also the characteristics of the countryside. But for the closest relatives, the temper of the Gu family and his son can almost be regarded as helping. In the end, his father-in-law died, and Gu Zhicheng was killed by himself as a taxi driver. Those close relatives have said all kinds of cool things, and they have done all kinds of things that have fallen into the well.
On the other hand, looking at these relatives now, Zhang Cuilian can see some cuteness.
"Oh, that's amazing!" Several women admired from the bottom of their hearts, looking up and down and praising Zhang Cuilian: "She looks so good!" β
"Sister-in-law, what kind of relative is this?" Someone was curious about Zhang Cuilian's identity, and Gu's mother paused for a moment thinking that this was a lengthy topic.
Zhang Cuilian pursed her lips and smiled: "I am Xiaoqiu's friend, and I specially came to celebrate my aunt's birthday today." After speaking, he took a bag from the coffee table, took out his clothes from it and handed it to Gu's mother: "Auntie, this is a birthday gift for you!" β
Gu's mother knows Zhang Cuilian's craftsmanship, and there are guests from the countryside who have "never seen the world". Then he took it with a smile and said, "You kid, you can bring some gifts when people come." You don't make any money, you're still a student! β
Having said that, she spread out her clothes. Here, Gu Zhicheng had already beckoned the guests to sit down, and Zhang Cuilian also skillfully poured tea for everyone.
"Huh? Why is this sweater a cardigan? As soon as Gu's mother opened it, she asked with sharp curiosity.
"The color is pretty good, and the cardigan is not buttoned. How do you wear this? Hearing someone questioning, Gu's mother was proud: "This is a shawl-style." β
Someone was curious: "Mom! Is it fashionable to wear such clothes in the city today? How much does it cost to buy the building? β
Zhang Cuilian said with a smile while sorting out Gu's mother's clothes: "How can there be such a style in the city, this is the most popular abroad." I saw that foreign ladies in magazines were dressed very well, so I learned to knit one for my aunt! β
Zhang Cuilian looked at it and nodded and smiled: "It's okay to be fat and thin, Auntie, do you have a necklace, let's match it!" β
Gu's mother had this intention, and excitedly pulled Zhang Cuilian back to the bedroom. Behind closed doors, you can hear a few loud women excitedly boasting about their clothes, and some people are curious to smell Gu Zhicheng's matter.
"Cuilian, your craftsmanship is really good." Gu's mother looked in the mirror and looked left and right very satisfied.
Zhang Cuilian knew where Gu's mother's vanity was, and asked with a smile, "Auntie, do you have a long skirt?" Is it a close-fitting dress? β
Gu's mother smiled and rummaged through the cabinets: "Let me tell you, I have a brushed dress." I don't know if I can wear this waist now! β
I found Zhang Cuilian and took a look, and sure enough, the style was very retro. The style is a bit like a cheongsam, but the length is just right to the knee without slit.
The lotus-colored slim long skirt inside is covered with Zhang Cuilian's shawl and small cloak outside. Gu's mother wore a pearl necklace around her neck, and the whole person completely turned into a noblewoman.
"Don't say it, it's so pretty!" Gu's mother was very satisfied with the mirror, but she couldn't bare her thighs. It's already cold on this day, and the central heating will be available in half a month. I can't seem to wear this outfit either.
Zhang Cuilian said with a smile: "You can wear a pair of pedal pants inside." β
Gu's mother was embarrassed: "The pedal pants are too fat, they don't look good!" β
Zhang Cuilian covered her mouth: "Auntie, don't you just wear one size smaller." It's the same kind as autumn pants, wearing Xiaoqiu! β
Gu's mother thought about coming over at this time, and ran to Gu Zhiqiu's house. She took out her pedal pants and paired them with her newly bought cowhide lace-up shoes.
"Wait a minute, Auntie, I'll give you a haircut!" Zhang Cuilian stopped Gu's mother, who was going out to show off,
Gu's mother's hair was really good when she was young, black and shiny. In Zhang Cuilian's hands, a pork rib braid was coiled in three or two. It's similar to the last time I coiled Dong Lihua's hair, revealing her whole face. The braids on both sides extend from the head to the back of the head, pulled up layer by layer and then fixed by the hairpin.
Gu's mother usually pays attention to appearance, Zhang Cuilian took out Dai Chunlin's eyebrow cream, duck egg powder, gouache paste on the dresser, "Xifeng" brand fragrance powder, "Wanzi Qianhong" brand rouge and "Yimei" full set of makeup, as well as an eyebrow pencil.
Zhang Cuilian first used gouache cream to base Gu's mother's whole face, and then drew an eyeliner for her with eyebrow cream. When she opened the eyeshadow, she found that the color inside really made her speechless, green and blue, which is quite a modern color now.
Gu's mother reminded her to use this, and the corners of Zhang Cuilian's mouth twitched and said with a smile: "Today's clothes don't match this color!" Gu's mother thought about it, and it was done as Zhang Cuilian said.
Zhang Cuilian mixed black and brown to get Gu's mother an eye makeup that was suitable for her age and not exaggerated. Her eyes are large, and the eyeshadow goes from shallow to deep from the corner of the eye to the socket. It looks like it's not exaggerated and a bit of a finishing touch.
The blush Zhang Cuilian is useless, and the red face is not good-looking at all. I used some lipstick, but the color was also very light, and it was very energetic against people's faces. After finishing these, Zhang Cuilian took out the incense powder. Let Gu's mother close her eyes and gently blow the incense powder on the puff at her. It plays a role in setting makeup, and it is easy to oil even when cooking.
After cleaning up, Gu's mother still wanted to sprinkle some perfume. But looking at the flower water on the dresser, Zhang Cuilian shook her head: "No need! β
As the two were talking, they heard Gu Zhiqiu's chatter in the living room. Then the door was violently pushed open, and Gu Zhiqiu ran in and asked, "They all said that Mom's clothes are very good-looking... β
"Ahh Mom, you're too much like the capitalist wife in the TV series! Gu Zhiqiu exclaimed, and the metaphor in her words made her father frown.
However, Gu's mother was very satisfied with this title, she pretended to be dignified and spoke in a pinched tone. Glancing at her daughter in disgust: "What are you yelling about?" There are no rules! β
Gu Zhiqiu pulled Zhang Cuilian's arm: "Zhang Cuilian, you are really amazing." You can knit one for me too! My birthday is later than my mother's, so it's winter! β
Zhang Cuilian smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll knit you a beautiful one for your birthday when I go back!" β
Gu's mother was in a hurry to show off the people outside, and hurriedly walked to the living room. ushered in the praise of the guests, and even Gu Zhicheng, a taciturn one, smiled and said that he was almost unrecognizable.
"Oh, you're a great little girl. It's like a trick.,Oops.,What's that called?γγγ Great change of life! Among the guests was a short, stocky middle-aged woman with a student's hair, and Zhang Cuilian remembered that this was the sixth aunt.
said with a smile: "Look at what the sixth aunt said, in fact, this is all aunt with a good temperament." Born rich and noble, no matter how you dress up, you look good! β
Gu's mother sat on the sofa elegantly with a smile and chatted with everyone.
At this time, Dad Gu came over and looked up and down with a very face-saving nod: "Well, it's good-looking, it's really good-looking." Like a landlord's wife! β
Wang Yazhi, the daughter-in-law of the sixth aunt next to her, laughed loudly: "Then is the landlord's wife, at first glance, she is the lady next to the big leader!" β
praised both of them in one sentence, and it also compared the identity of the Gu family. Gu Zhicheng pursed his lips and smiled, glancing at Zhang Cuilian.
Zhang Cuilian saw Gu Zhicheng nodding and smiling at herself, and she was nervous and didn't know how to reply. Fortunately, Gu Zhiqiu was chattering next to her, so that she had a way to divert her attention from Gu Zhicheng.
But the more this is the case, the more she wants to be a little Dongzi and let Gu Zhicheng pay attention to herself. Gu Zhicheng raised his eyes and looked at the time, and said to his mother: "Mom, how do you cook when you dress like this?" β
Wang Yazhi smiled: "How can a rich wife cook by herself?" Besides, I don't even think it matches when I look at it. If you don't dislike it, I'll cook today. β
This is also a kind word, how could the Gu family let the guests cook for the birthday star. Gu's mother quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you sit here watching TV and eating fruit." I'm going to cook! β
Gu Zhicheng suddenly got up and said, "Old comrade, what are you cooking for your birthday today!" I'll cook for you! β
As soon as the son spoke, the mother couldn't stop smiling. waved his hand and said, "What will you do, it's not enough to throw me a stumbling stumbling block!" If you want to do it, Xiaoqiu will do it, go, Xiaoqiu will cook it! β
Gu Zhiqiu was dumbfounded and believed it: "Huh? Mom, how dare you let me do it? β
Gu Zhicheng walked over from the sofa with a smile and pulled Zhang Cuilian: "I often help cook in the team, besides, isn't there a chef?" I'm going to do it, old comrade, you and my dad can greet the guests! β
Gu's mother shook her head: "Then what's the matter, Cuilian is also a guest." Zhang Cuilian pushed the boat down the river: "Auntie, your extravagant dress is really not suitable for nesting in the kitchen." Anyway, I'm idle and fine, just let me cook! β
Gu's father was more poisonous than Gu's mother's eyes, and he saw his son Gu Zhicheng make a small move. Gu Zhicheng kept pulling Zhang Cuilian's arm when he spoke, and Zhang Cuilian did not resist the distance between the two.
It seems that in private, the two men have more contact. Zhang Cuilian didn't notice Gu Zhicheng's small action, the two of them had been husband and wife for 20 years in the previous life. This little gesture was not felt by her at all.
At this time, Gu's father stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, old comrade." Today you have a birthday and you are given a holiday, and the children can cook and let them go! β
After speaking, he said to a few guests: "It's okay anyway, why don't we go to the garden together." Then he looked down at his watch: "It's almost twelve o'clock, let's come back!" β
Q City has a large park that covers a huge area. Later, after continuous expansion, it added amusement alms, animals, mountains and lakes, and became the largest comprehensive park in the province.
The scenery in the park is still beautiful in late autumn, with flowers blooming everywhere, lush trees and new wildlife.
When everyone heard Gu's father say this, they all stood up and agreed. Gu's mother herself also wanted to go out for a walk and let everyone outside see her new clothes.
Gu Zhiqiu's eyes lit up, and he clamored to follow. Gu's mother was embarrassed to let the guests do their own work, so she smiled with a tiger face: "No, you have to help Cuilian!" β
Gu Zhiqiu pouted: "Isn't there my brother!" β
Zhang Cuilian also persuaded: "It's okay, Auntie, you can go together." Xiaoqiu helped me make a potato peel last time, and such a big potato finally became so little! She gestured, and everyone laughed.
Gu Zhicheng also helped his sister 'plead': "That's it, it's rare to go." Xiaoqiu will take a few more photos with our mother, and I will reimburse you! β
"Yes!" Gu Zhiqiu excitedly saluted when he heard this, and happily followed his parents to the big garden.
