Li Xia urged Li Wei: "We agreed yesterday, you won't go back on your word."
Li Wei's work was basically done. She took off her apron and said, "Okay, let's go."
Li Xia looked her up and down, widened her eyes and said, "Is this how you dress?"
Li Wei lowered his head and looked at himself. Although they were all old clothes, they were all cleanly washed. She was no longer the wealthy eldest lady in the Shangshu Mansion. She would change into another set of clothes when visiting a foreigner, and another set of clothes when entering a house. New clothes were cut every season, many of which she had never worn. After becoming the Queen Mother, I became even more particular about food and clothing. But now my family is poor and needs money everywhere, so I try to save what I can. She is also used to taking things as they come.
"I... everything is clean and there are no patches."
But Li Xia just couldn't stand it and felt that taking such a sister out would harm her face.
"Let's change into something with bright colors, so it looks gray and old-fashioned."
Li Wei also followed her. After going back to her room and struggling for a while, Li Xia was busy urging her: "Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."
When Li Xia saw Li Wei take off his coat and reveal the underwear underneath, she was so surprised that she almost screamed: "God, what are you wearing?"
"Well, is there something wrong?" Li Wei was a little surprised.
Li Xia smiled and said: "What era are you from? Why do you still wear a bellyband? Where did you buy it? The patterns on it are very novel."
Li Wei blushed slightly. She was embarrassed to say that she made it by herself. Of course, the patterns on it were also embroidered by herself. Although it is not Lingluo, the fine cotton is still very comfortable to wear.
Li Xia lowered her voice and said to Li Wei solemnly: "You have grown up slowly. Don't wear underwear like this anymore, otherwise it will expand and sag in the future, which will look ugly. Can we choose underwear together later?"
Li Wei felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything. He lowered his head and quickly put on his clothes, a thin fruit green sweater, brown pants, and a pair of white-washed sneakers. It is still short hair that reaches the ears, and is combed very properly.
However, Li Xia felt that this younger sister had a rustic vibe all over her body, but she had no time to fuss about it, so she took her hand and hurried out.
Not far from home, I happened to meet Dalong from the village driving a tractor to the town. Li Xia stopped him and said a lot of nice things, and then the two of them got on the tractor and headed down the street.
The tractor was much bumpier than the bus, and the smell of diesel was very strong, but because it was breathable, Li Wei didn't feel any motion sickness.
After a shaky journey of about 20 minutes, we finally arrived at the town.
Li Wei didn't know what Li Xia was going to do, so he followed closely behind her.
Yongning Town was not big to begin with, so Li Xia got into a barber shop.
Li Wei followed, wondering, was she going to get a haircut
Li Xia found a barber and whispered a few words in her ear. The barber pointed: "He has been here a long time ago."
Li Xia glanced in the direction the barber pointed, and her heart suddenly felt cold at just this glance. This man is very different from the one in the photo.
A young man who was looking in the mirror over there had noticed Li Xia and the others, and immediately came over and said with a smile on his face: "Are you Li Xia?"
Li Xia nodded, with no expression on her face. Li Wei stood behind her and looked at her calmly. But he saw the young man in front of him, who was only in his 20s. He was dark and thin, and was not as tall as Li Jianbo. Wearing a black jacket, black pants, and a pair of black shoes? He was dressed in black from top to bottom and looked lifeless. Is this Li Xia's blind date
She finally understood the reason why Li Xia called her today. She remembered that Wang Yulan told her that her current situation was called a light bulb.
The young man seemed to be very satisfied with Li Xia and said, "My aunt showed me your photo. Well, it looks better than the one in the photo."
The barber shop is not a place for dating, so Li Xia said: "Let's go out for a walk."
When the young man saw that Li Xia left without turning around, he thought it was a joke, so he smiled and said yes. The three of them went out one after another.
Li Xia pulled Li Wei to her side and introduced: "This is my sister."
The young man introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Guo Qiang. My sister can just call me Brother Qiang."
Li Wei thought to herself, who are you? I'm not familiar with you. He just nodded briefly and didn't call him.
Li Xia and Guo Qiang stood together, and Li Xia was half a head taller. Guo Qiang talked eloquently: "We have ten acres of land and two cows at home. Dad said that we will start planting fruit trees next year. You will not be able to eat all the fruits after you go there."
Li Xia always kept a polite smile. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with this man, but she didn't know why she kept letting Guo Qiang accompany him.
The three of them were shopping, and Li Xia got into a store selling clothes.
All kinds of ready-made clothes, large and small, are hung neatly on the shelves.
Li Xia looked around and picked out a piece of clothing to compare with. Li Wei took a look at this red shorts and woolen jacket.
Li Xia smiled and said to Li Wei, "How do you like these clothes?"
Li Wei nodded in time and said: "It's okay."
Li Xia put on her clothes on the spot and took photos again and again in front of the mirror. She had a good figure and could wear anything.
The salesperson praised her again, and Li Xia felt a little moved and asked casually: "How do you sell these clothes?"
The salesperson said: "This is this year's new model, 120."
"120? It's too expensive." Li Xia quickly took it off and said she couldn't afford it.
When the salesperson saw that the business was not done, he said that he could negotiate the price. Li Xia liked it wholeheartedly, but she had no money in her pocket, so she took another look at Guo Qiang.
Guo Qiang is a smart man and very wise. He immediately said: "I bought this dress and give it to you, as long as you like it."
Li Xia was shocked: "Is that okay? It's so expensive. How can I be embarrassed to ask for it when we meet for the first time?"
But Guo Qiang insisted: "It's okay, as long as you like it."
The clothes were finally priced at RMB 110, and Guo Qiang rushed to pay.
Li Xia took the pocket containing the clothes, with a smile brighter than flowers.
Guo Qiang was still worried about money at first, but seeing Li Xia happy, he thought it was worth it to buy a beautiful smile.
After buying clothes, Li Xia whispered to Li Wei: "Let's choose underwear, and I will help you choose." At this time, Li Xia looked like a big sister.
Asking a boy to go with him to choose underwear, Li Wei refused to agree, but when he saw her head shaking like a rattle, she hurriedly said: "No, no need, let's go some other time. You two can chat slowly, I have to go back and do some work." ”
Li Xia saw Li Wei blushing with embarrassment and said with a smile: "What are you ashamed of? Someone is paying money today anyway. You would be a fool not to seize this great opportunity."
Li Wei held Li Xia tightly to prevent her from speaking. She turned to Guo Qiang and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, you and my sister take your time to stroll around and chat. I have to go back first."
Guo Qiang saw that the lightbulb that was in the way was finally going away, and he said with satisfaction: "Okay, sister, if you have something to do, go and do it, I won't delay you." He thought to himself that this little sister was obviously smiling at him, so how could it be uglier than crying?
