Chapter Twenty-Three: Forty-One Flowers for Men
Shopping is in a woman's nature, and early summer snow is no exception.
She was very happy that I had come to sell him clothes, and later she had a strong opinion about me to buy thick clothes.
The reason is simple.
She picked a dress, and I picked a dress.
She chose a good-looking knitwear, and I thought it was worth the five hundred dollars in my pocket, so I chose a sweatshirt that looked thick.
So we had a strong opinion.
The clerk's face was full of smiles, and she said that the early summer snow had a good eye, and later changed her tone and continued to say that the temperature difference between the morning and the evening was relatively large, and she should buy a thick one.
The reason is also very simple, she wants me to buy both.
I didn't accept her fooling at all, and bought the coffee-colored knit sweater she liked at the strong request of Xia Chuxue.
I didn't use the money my grandfather gave, but I planned to buy some ribs when I went home, and the rest of the money was used to hire someone to pick the freshly ripe peaches from my grandfather's field.
I heard from the villagers that this year's peaches can be sold at a good price.
In the afternoon, the sky of the small county town poured out a warm sun, and the sunlight sprinkled on the shoulders of the smiling and moaning summer snow beside him, making the originally bleak street more lively.
It's warm and nice.
She seemed to like this dress very much, and held it in her arms all the time.
Next to the department store, there are a few two-dollar shops and some small shops selling land stalls.
Xia Chuxue looked at me with some sorrow, stretched out her finger and pointed to the shop in front of her:
"You're going to buy clothes for your mom and dad here."
I raised my eyebrows and said:
"Or else?"
"Then why did you buy me clothes in that building? Are you out of money, you can tell me. Why don't we go back and return this dress, and I'll buy it here." ”
I sighed and said with sincerity on my face:
"It's easy to say that the money is not rich, the main thing is that I am too lazy to go shopping, the kind of broken clothes are not good-looking, and the quality is not much better, I don't think there is any need to waste time. Do you think there is any difference between two or three hundred fast clothes and dozens of dollars of clothes for the two of them? It's not all stalls. There is no need to buy expensive ones. ”
"That's right." Xia Chuxue nodded.
"Let's go, let's get this out of the way first." Then she said with some regret.
I shook my head and said it wasn't necessary.
Actually, I wasn't in the building at all, and I really didn't know what kind of clothes to buy for them. Almost all of them are worn by young people, and some are worn by the elderly.
I don't think it's appropriate.
Small shops like this are many middle-aged women in their forties. Some of them support their parents, and the younger ones will take their children and choose from this kind of small shop.
In this small county, ordinary family women will not step into the threshold of department stores, and almost all of them gather in this kind of small shops.
So in this place I have a contrast.
I will buy whatever they buy, and I will buy it for Xia Fang and Han Jianguo.
As for letting the snow pick at the beginning of summer? I don't, I don't trust her just now in the building.
I just followed my grandfather's instructions, and I only thought about buying thick clothes, and I didn't care if he looked good or not.
Xia Chuxue followed me very curiously, probably because there were many villains in the place, and she kept tugging at the corner of my clothes and squeezing around with me in this crowd.
Soon after, a middle-aged woman went to negotiate a price with the salesperson with two pieces of clothing, and I eavesdropped on them and couldn't help but sigh that they were really good at bargaining.
All kinds of surprises, all kinds of urgency and white faces.
The last two pieces of clothing with a price tag of almost 200 yuan were sold by her for a hundred years, and the middle-aged woman felt that she was at a loss, because the salesperson actually accepted it with a smile.
I hurriedly picked up two pieces of the same model and visually checked that they were probably the sizes of Xia Fang and Han Jianguo. Walked up to the salesperson and took out a hundred dollars and handed it to her.
The salesperson was a little surprised, but I was quite confident.
For the same hundred yuan, if you sell her, you have to sell me.
There was no invoicing, and I didn't ask for a bag. Fold the two clothes and stuff them into the shopping bag that Xia Chuxue is holding in her arms.
Then I lit a cigarette in front of the store with an indifferent expression. Thinking about which Internet café in the vicinity has a better environment.
Xia Chuxue looked at me strangely, and said for a long time:
"You've always been shopping for clothes like this when you're so big?"
"Of course not. I usually buy my clothes at that night market, which is much cheaper than this. If it weren't for the fact that the night market hadn't opened yet, hum, that 100 yuan would have been enough to buy you a cup of milk tea after buying clothes. ”
Xia Chuxue opened her mouth and said:
"It's amazing. You're amazing. ”
I asked rhetorically:
"What was your previous clothes shopping like?"
She pondered for a moment and said faintly:
"I didn't buy clothes until I was ten years old, because no one took me there, and at that time we wore all the clothes that were donated, some good and some bad, I don't know how much, but I just felt that I would be very happy when I had new clothes to wear."
"After I was 10 years old, my mother took me to buy clothes, but the number of times I went out was to buy a lot of them, and I didn't know if the clothes were expensive or not, because there was no concept of money at that time. Then when I grew up, I tried to buy clothes where my mother used to take me, and it wasn't cheap anyway, and I was embarrassed to pay the price. ”
"Well, you have to learn in this regard, don't you see that aunt just now, she is my light, I hope that in twenty years you can also illuminate others like her."
Xia Chuxue glared at me,
"Even after twenty years, this fairy is still glamorous! As for you, you've been an old man for a long time. ”
"Forty-one flowers, men."
"Flowers are stuck in cow dung." The snow blurted out at the beginning of summer.
Then, as if realizing something, he glared at me fiercely and said:
"I'm talking about you!"
I smiled and didn't speak, twenty years later, I would have been a stranger for a long time.
Maybe at that time, I was still begging for help, trying to find a job to support my family. And she estimated that she would follow a group of rich ladies to play cards and go shopping.
Heartfelt and authentic.
I found an Internet café casually, swiped my ID card and turned it on, what surprised me was that my ID card still had a balance in this Internet café, and I don't know when I rushed in.
So I was in a good mood, so I ran downstairs and bought a cup of milk tea for Xia Chuxue opposite the Internet café.
In front of Xia Chuxue, she was very happy, and after taking a sip, her beautiful eyes bent into a crescent moon.
I was a little bored watching Xia Chuxue holding milk tea.
And at this point in time, there are very few people in the Internet café, only the sound of Suosuo tapping the keyboard is intermittent.
So I didn't bother to play the game, so I clicked on the film and television software, boarded Chen Chengfei's membership, and found the variety show I watched at the beginning of Xia Xue last time and played it.
Take off your headphones and place them on the table to maximum sound.
We spent the afternoon like this.
Every now and then, the ever-energetic girl next to her would hear a few laughs.
I couldn't see anything, I just felt a little drowsy.
When it was almost over, I ran into an acquaintance in the place.
It was always a slim figure in my mind, as if looking for something.
I was surprised.
How could Shen Yu be here!?
She spotted me at the same time I spotted her and walked briskly towards me.
"Han Yiming, have you seen Wang Shuo?"
