Chapter Seventy-Three: Grandma Xue
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun was still very strong, and it shone hotly on the earth, as if it was about to roast the last drop of water on people's bodies.
Dad Xue rode a small electric donkey, through the doorway of a large group of people playing cards, stopped at the door of the house, the exposure to the weather made him take off his heavy helmet, the whole face was hot and wrinkled by the sun, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Mama Xue in the back seat was holding two exquisite boxes in her arms, and she was smiling so much that the folds on her face were several layers of hands. The two boxes are large but thin, square, and have a pink bow on them, revealing low-key luxury everywhere. Xue Ma's two hands groped on the two boxes from time to time, looking comfortable.
The movement of the two people was not small, and the old ladies playing cards kept glancing at each other.
These old men and old ladies are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner at home, so they like to drill into the shade.
There is a large open space in front of Xue's house, when Xue's father still had money, in order to have fun, he also bought a car and came back to drive it by himself, in order to prevent the car from being hot in the sun, Xue's mother paid for it herself, and added an extra roof next to the two-story building, covering the entire open space, like a shady aisle.
But later, after Xue's father went abroad to earn money and left, the car was sold, and such a big place was vacant, and it happened to be used by Grandma Xue to call friends and companions, even if it was so hot every day, two tables of cards had to be opened at three or four o'clock.
A group of gossip-loving old men and old ladies gradually fell in love with the aisle at the door of Xue's house, noisy, and the day passed freely and freely.
Because it is on the territory of the Xue family, Grandma Xue is simply an old man, and she is quite unbelievably praised by the old sisters, and she wants to intervene in everything in this family, especially about her daughter-in-law's spending money.
No, as soon as she saw something in Mama Xue's arms, Grandma Xue couldn't help but spin her eyes on the two boxes in Mama Xue's arms, squeezing out a little smile on her dry face, and she couldn't even care about the cards in her hand.
"You're back, where are you going? What good things to buy? Behind the joking tone is an endless desire for control, and his eyes are directly fixed on his daughter-in-law, for fear of missing out on any benefits.
As soon as Xue's mother got out of the car, her exhaled breath was hot, and she was still carrying two exquisite boxes in her hands, feeling her mother-in-law's sight, her smile suddenly disappeared for the most part, and she glared at Xue Dad dissatisfied, and bowed her mouth towards the car seat, signaling Xue Dad to open it.
After the saddle was opened, Xue's mother quickly stuffed the two boxes in her hand into Xue's father's arms, and pushed the person into the house.
Mother Xue lowered her head and rummaged in the car seat, because there were so many things, and after turning over for a long time, she finally found a flashy packaging bag, and greeted Grandma Xue with a smile on her face, "Mom, I went shopping with Dawang, and I happened to see that there was a skirt that suited you very well, so I bought it back for you, do you see if it fits?" If it's not suitable, I'll change the yardage again. "Dawang is Xue's father's nickname.
While speaking, Xue Ma took out a colorful skirt directly from the packaging bag, the color of the skirt is very tacky, but the feel is really good.
Mother Xue is not a stingy person, although she doesn't like this mother-in-law very much, but she hasn't left one of the things she should do in her face.
"Mom, you try, this is good material, mulberry silk, it cost me more than 200 yuan to take this one." Although more than 200 is before the discount, but after the discount, it will be 15, which is expensive.
Drink, more than 200 dollars! The old ladies playing cards around suddenly pricked up their ears, "What is so expensive?" It's not the same as what we wear. An old lady who was also dressed in colorful clothes suddenly shouted.
Mother Xue glanced at the flower blouse on the old lady's body, she didn't need to try it, she knew that the material must be very bad, the kind of two pieces of 35 yuan on the carpet on the street, maybe the price will be reduced, and three pieces of fifty yuan will be in hand.
But Mother Xue didn't say anything, just stuffed the skirt in her hand directly into the old lady's hand, "Auntie, you try, this fabric is called mulberry silk, and the old man is very comfortable to wear, even if it is more expensive, it is normal." The slippery fabric, when you touch it in your hand, you know that it is not ordinary, and the old lady is suddenly dumbfounded.
Consciously gaining face in front of the old sisters, Grandma Xue was very happy, and her always mean face showed a satisfied smile, and she took a skirt from Mother Xue very hypocritically, and sure enough, she felt that it was a good material in her hand, with a mouth, and her yellow and bad teeth were exposed, "This is too expensive, right?" Why don't you take it back and change it! I can change several clothes enough to wear early. ”
That's a nice thing to say, you took it all, how can I change it? Mother Xue rolled her eyes in her heart, but she didn't say what she thought in the end, "It's okay, this thing is comfortable to wear, it's like not wearing it on your body, and I didn't give you anything at the end of the year, just 200 yuan, it's okay, you can wear it." ”
Grandma Xue straightened her gray hair, "I'm old, what else to try?" Such expensive clothes. That being said, there was a smug look on his face.
It's good to be obedient and haven't heard enough? But Xue Ma didn't want to deal with her this time.
Shopping until now, she is thirsty and tired, and she can stand here patiently, because she doesn't want to be found out about the two suits at home.
No one accosted her, and Grandma Xue was not embarrassed, and her voice changed, "But since you bought everything, then I'll try it?" ”
"Try it, my daughter-in-law will buy it for you, why don't you wear it out and show it to all of us." Said an old lady nicknamed Old Loach.
Grandma Xue half-pushed into the house, and came out in a colorful mulberry silk skirt within two minutes.
She is not tall, only about 1.55 meters, coupled with a small belly that has been pampered all year round, and the skirt is directly from her neck to the condyle, making her walk like an oversized bucket.
She couldn't see what she looked like, and spun around in a beautiful circle, "How is it?" Not bad, right? "Grandma Xue's favorite sentence on her lips is that when she is alone, she is a big beauty in the village, and she is the best looking in ten miles and eight villages, even if she is old, she still subconsciously feels that she is the best-looking, and she doesn't know her appearance at all.
The other old ladies kept echoing as if they were blind.
"Very good."
"This material is very comfortable at first glance, and it must be very comfortable to wear!"
"If you want me to say that you look good in this dress, other people can't wear this effect."
There was even an old lady who spoke directly, "It looks very elegant on you, and I will ask my daughter to buy me one another day." ”
Old Madam Xue raised her head a little proudly, appreciating enough of the words of praise for herself, and went back to the house to change back into the dusty clothes she had before. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, she always feels that this outfit is a bit awkward to wear?
