Chapter Twenty-Nine: Clothing

Hearing Su Shihua say this, Hongli stopped insisting, dressed up and went downstairs with him.

The first place to go is the hotel. Su Shihua asked Hongli what she wanted to eat, but Hongli refused. Su Shihua had no choice but to pick up the menu and choose two items from it: leek shrimp and scallion and pepper beef. Su Shihua didn't drink. The drink for both people was orange water. The staple food is pot roasting and sugar cakes.

After eating, it was half past twelve, and I got into a taxi when I got out of the hotel. Listening to Su Shihua tell the driver to go to the department store, Hongli thought: "Before the meal, Su Shihua said that he had to let me help do something after the meal, it seems that this thing to be done must be to buy something." ”

Hongli was right, Su Shihua took her to two stores and bought a total of four things:

a pair of cashmere pants, which are worn against underwear; a pair of high-stretch pants, which are worn on the surface; a cashmere coat; A pair of small leather boots for women. Of course, all these things I bought were tried and worn.

On the way back to Su's house, Hong Liguang thought, "Dr. Su must have bought these clothes for his girlfriend." Then he thought, "His girlfriend is definitely not in Spring City, and if she is, she won't need me to help her try on clothes." ”

Back at Su's house, Hongli turned on the computer and studied for two hours before leaving.

Su Shihua said: "It's dark when I see it, I'll send you back." ”

Hongli said, "No, I dare to go." ”

Su Shihua said: "It just so happens that I have something to do, so I will stop by." ”

Hongli went downstairs with Su Shihua. Seeing Su Shihua carrying the things she bought in the afternoon, she thought, "It seems that I think it's wrong that his girlfriend is not in Spring City." He must have surprised his girlfriend and asked me to try on the clothes. Then he thought: "His girlfriend is really lucky, sitting at home, someone will deliver good clothes." ”

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the alley. Hongli thanked Su Shihua and got out of the car. What she didn't expect was that as soon as the car door was closed, Su Shihua also got out of the car.

Hongli asked, "Dr. Su, why did you get off the bus too?" ”

Su Shihua said: "It's already dark, I'll send you back!" ”

At this time, there happened to be two women about forty years old walking into the alley, and Hongli said, "No need to send it, I'll just follow them." ”

Su Shihua said: "These two women are likely to arrive home halfway through, aren't you afraid of the rest of the way?" ”

Hongli said, "I...... I'm afraid, but I forget to be afraid when I run. ”

Su Shihua said: "Anyway, it's not far away, and it's not too late for me to leave when it arrives at the door." ”

The two women in front of them really arrived home halfway through. Hongli stuck out her tongue, secretly glad that she didn't insist on not letting Su Shihua send it. Outside the gate of the Gu family's courtyard, Su Shihua stopped and said to Hongli: "Come, you take it." ”

Hongli thought that Su Shihua was going to pour out her hands for something, so she took all the things she was carrying.

Su Shihua said, "You go in!" ”

Seeing that Su Shihua turned around to leave, Hongli hurriedly said, "Dr. Su, these things ......"

Su Shihua said: "It's all for you." ”

Hongli said, "Dr. Su, I'...... I don't want to. ”

Su Shihua had already taken several steps at this time and said, "This is my gift to you." ”

Hongli remembered that Su Shihua bought a big doll when she first came, and said that she didn't buy it well and wanted to give her a gift. just hesitated, and when she wanted to excuse herself, Su Shihua had already walked into the alley and was gone.

Hongli knocked on the door.

Gu Yulan opened the door and saw Hongli carrying several cardboard pockets in her hand, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Hongli said, "Mom, it's so cold...... Let's talk about it when we get inside! ”

Both mother and daughter entered the house. Although Hongli put everything she was carrying on the kang, she was still panting.

Gu Yulan asked, "Did you run away in the alley again?" ”

Hongli said, "I didn't run. ”

Gu Yulan asked, "Why are you gasping if you don't run?" ”

Hongli said, "Am I gasping? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Didn't you say that you would come back at noon, why did you get home at this time?" ”

Hongli said, "I came out of Dr. Su's house at 10:10 a.m. ”

Gu Yulan asked, "What's in these pockets?" ”

Hongli said: "It's clothes and shoes. ”

Gu Yulan was shocked. Q: "Where did it come from?" ”

Hongli said, "Dr. Su bought it for me." ”

Gu Yulan asked, "Did you buy it today?" ”

Hongli said, "Yes." ”

Gu Yulan asked, "Did you go with you to buy it?" ”

Hongli said, "Yes." ”

Gu Yulan said: "You know that we owe Dr. Su a favor, why do you let him buy you something at a cost?" ”

Hongli said: "I didn't know it was bought for me at the time!" ”

Then he recounted all the reasons why he wanted to leave Su's house when it was almost noon, how Su Shihua left her, how he accompanied Su Shihua to buy things after lunch, how he let her hold things when he was a child when he was sent to the door just now, and then said that he was a supplementary gift.

Gu Yulan didn't say anything after hearing this, just sighed.

Hongli first took off her snowshoes, down jacket and cotton pants, and then took out the cashmere pants, high-stretch pants and leather shoes from the bag and box and put them on.

After standing up straight, he looked himself back and forth, and then walked back and forth from east to west and from west to east on the kang for two times, and finally carefully put on the cashmere coat.

Leather shoes are white with high heels, stretch pants are white, and cashmere coats are creamy white. No wonder people are willing to spend money to buy good clothes, Hongli wears this as if she is a different person.

Hongli asked, "Mom, what do you think I'm wearing?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Okay. ”

Hongli said: "I am the most suitable to wear such clothes." ”

Gu Yulan didn't make a sound.

Hongli asked, "Guess how much it spent?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's not two thousand." ”

Hongli said: "Mom, you never buy good clothes, why do you guess so accurately?" A total of two thousand and sixty were spent. ”

Gu Yulan asked, "Didn't you really know that they were bought for you when you tried on the clothes?" ”

Hongli said, "I don't know. I always thought he was buying it for his girlfriend, but he asked me to try it because he was about the same size! ”

Gu Yulan said: "Our house is gray, look dirty, take it off!" ”

Hongli said, "I'll take it off." ”

Although he agreed, he walked and looked at it for a while, and then put the bottom of his shoes with a newspaper, and put them on the kang with a handkerchief; I took off my clothes one by one, folded them one by one, put them in a plastic bag, and put them all in a small cabinet next to the edge of the kang.

During the meal, Gu Yulan asked, "What do you eat at noon?" ”

Hongli said: "The dishes are leek, shrimp and scallion and pepper beef, and the staple food is pot roasting and sugar cakes. ”

Gu Yulan asked, "Did Dr. Su drink?" ”

Hongli said, "No." ”

Hongli had been immersed in the joy of having new clothes, and after eating, she took them out of the small cabinet and put them on.

Gu Yulan asked, "What is this for?" ”

Hongli said, "I'll try again." ”

Gu Yulan said: "If only you could study as attentively as wearing clothes." ”

Hongli said: "Mom, when I was in secondary school, my grades were always in the top three, didn't I care? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Where is the little thing that I learned in secondary school!" ”

Hongli said: "I don't know enough, why don't I think about learning computers again!" ”

Gu Yulan asked, "How did you learn today?" ”

Hongli said: "First Dr. Su taught me, and then I practiced by myself, and I made great progress. ”

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su taught you again, and went to buy clothes for you again, which delayed the day. ”

Hongli said: "I didn't delay so much, when I practiced in the study by myself, he was doing his own thing in the living room. ”

Gu Yulan saw Hongli and started walking back and forth on the kang again, and said, "Don't go, see if the heel of your shoes has broken the kang mat." ”

Hongli said, "Mom, I'm best suited to wear high heels." ”

Gu Yulan said: "If people can use you tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear it." ”

Hongli asked, "Mom, did you wear high heels?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "No. ”

Hongli asked, "Why don't you wear it?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I don't do a job that suits wearing high heels. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, your reason is not sufficient. There are a dozen or so people with you, and they don't wear high heels? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Yes, yes, but ...... Mom doesn't wear it. ”

Hongli said: "If you put on high heels and put on good clothes, it will definitely be like a different person." ”

Gu Yulan said: "Mom doesn't want to change. ”

Hongli said: "Why don't you want to change? ”

Gu Yulan said: "I'm used to it." ”

Hongli said: "Mom, as long as I have good clothes, I will definitely dress up more beautiful than anyone else." ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's not enough to be beautiful, you have to have temperament, and cultivation is more important." ”

Hongli said: "Xiaoqian and Caixia's cashmere coats and leather boots are not as good as mine. ”

Gu Yulan said: "The collar of the coat is easy to get dirty, so pay more attention. Don't you have a scarf, it's better to line it in. ”

Hongli said "oops" and said, "Yes, yes, tie a scarf, it's clean, beautiful, and windproof, why didn't I think about it!" ”

After speaking, he moved the futon placed on the small cabinet on the south side to the kang, opened the lid of the cabinet, and took out a pale yellow gauze scarf from the baggage inside. This scarf was bought by Gu Yulan for her daughter for 22 yuan in autumn, and as soon as the winter came, Hongli washed and folded it and put it away.

Hongli tied a scarf and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

Gu Yulan stood on the ground and looked up at her daughter and said, "It's beautiful." ”

Hongli said: "Just look good." ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's cold, I'm afraid it's not warm." ”

Hongli said: "This is a cashmere coat, which is resistant to the wind." ”

Gu Yulan said: "The original down jacket has a hat on it, and you can just wear it when it's cold. There is no hat on this cashmere coat, what should I do if it is cold? Let's find a cotton headscarf to wrap around! ”

Hongli said, "I don't need to. How can anyone wear a cashmere coat and a turban? ”

Gu Yulan said: "If others don't surround it, it may be that you will get off the bus and get home." If you get out of the car and walk far, your ears will definitely be too cold to bear. ”

Hongli said: "I can't stand it, and I won't besiege." ”

After pausing for a while, Gu Yulan said: "If you really go to work, don't spend money to earn money, you have to pay back the money Dr. Su bought clothes first." ”

Hongli said, "Mom, Dr. Su said that these clothes were given to me. Since it's a gift, do you still need to pay it back? ”

Gu Yulan said: "I have to pay it back." Dr. Su is kind enough to help us, but we can't ask for things for nothing. ”
