Chapter 100 I'll Return the Herbs to You After I Sell Them

Xiaomei got up with Lin Qingqing today. Song Yiyuan was not at home, so they could eat whatever they wanted without having to worry about meal times.

Xiaomei got up and watered the vegetable garden as usual, made breakfast and ate with Lin Qingqing, then she went to the tube building as if she was on fire.

Lin Qingqing knew what she was going to do.

The things she bought in the city yesterday were piled up in the living room, and she had to put them in order.

After everything else was put away, she placed two dresses and a pair of leather shoes aside.

After a while, Xiaomei came back with a rosy face.

"Sister, Sisters Xiuhong and Honghua were very happy when they heard the purchase price offered by the state-owned drugstore. They are busy at home and said that they will go up the mountain to dig herbs together after they are done."

As soon as she entered the door, she started talking a lot. Lin Qingqing sat in the yard and listened with a smile.

Xiaomei seemed to have seen many great groups waving at her, but Lin Qingqing ruthlessly interrupted her, "Dried mulberry leaves are very light. One pound makes a large bag. Do you know how long this will take?"

Don't think too idealistically about this situation.

Xiaomei wasn't discouraged by this. She pouted and said, "I know. You see, I could only make a small pot on the first day, but after a month I'll definitely be able to make a big pot. Practice makes perfect."

Looking at Xiaomei, who was like a little sun, Lin Qingqing couldn't help smiling.

She stood up, took out the two skirts and leather shoes, and waved to Xiaomei: "Come here and try them on."

Xiaomei walked over with a puzzled look on her face, and saw that it was the skirt she had just bought yesterday.

"Sister, you?"

"When your brother-in-law comes back, we are going to Kyoto. Do you want to go dressed like this?" Lin Qingqing glanced at her pants with patches on the knees.

Xiaomei's eyes widened: "What are you going to Kyoto for?"

"Go meet your brother-in-law's family."

"Oh oh oh." She rolled her eyes left and right. Kyoto was such a big place. She certainly wanted to go there, but it would cost a lot of money along the way. And the skirt cost forty-one yuan. If she took such an expensive thing, her mother would definitely tear her apart.

"I'm not going to Kyoto. I'm digging herbs in the compound and saving money to wait for you to come back and treat you to mutton soup."

Lin Qingqing smiled. "You said you could sell some herbs, so you can just pay me back later. This trip to Kyoto is a rare opportunity, and your brother-in-law is paying for the trip. Don't you really want to go? The flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square... and the Great Wall... the Forbidden City. If you don't go once, you'll regret it forever."

Lin Qingqing seduced Xiaomei little by little. After all, Xiaomei graduated from junior high school and knew a little about the famous places of interest in the Chinese capital. Who wouldn't want to visit Kyoto and the statue of the great man in front of Tiananmen Square?

Xiaomei began to waver. She thought it was not impossible to pay the money back later. At a little over one yuan per pound, it was not impossible to make 30 pounds a month.

That’s the capital. Xiaomei’s heart was filled with excitement when she thought of Tiananmen Square.

"Sister, I remember this skirt cost forty-one dollars, and the shoes cost six dollars, a total of forty-seven dollars. I will sell the herbs and pay you back."

Lin Qingqing nodded: "Go try them on and see if they fit." Yesterday's skirt and shoes were ordered according to Xiaomei's size, but I didn't tell her directly at the time. If I had told her then, Xiaomei would definitely not agree to buy them.

Xiaomei went back to the house with her clothes and shoes, and soon came out fully changed.

The pink skirt paired with white leather shoes looks fresh and comfortable. Xiaomei's skin is still a little darker now. After using her facial cream for another month, her skin will be several shades whiter.

Xiaomei has a good figure, round eyes and a round face, which are very attractive. She has a smile on her face all day long. She looks even more likable after dressing up.

"Not bad." Lin Qingqing smiled.

Xiaomei ran to Lin Qingqing's room and looked at herself in the mirror on the wardrobe. Her face turned red with shame. She was surprised at her transformation, but also felt embarrassed to go out and see people dressed like that.

She came out and went back to her room to change into a yellow skirt, a color that matched her skin tone better than bright pink. It had a double-layered skirt and a very thin waist.

The three-layer pleated sleeves make it look cute and ladylike.

One of the two pieces of clothing is fresh and pleasant, and the other is cute and ladylike, both are suitable for Xiaomei.

"Oh, is this Xiaomei? She's so fashionable."

"This yellow dress makes my face look really white."

As soon as Honghua and Xiuhong entered the room, they saw Xiaomei wearing a yellow skirt. She turned left to show Lin Qingqing, and it was indeed pretty. Both of them couldn't help but praise her.

Xiaomei's face turned red and she quickly ran back to the house to change her clothes.

Lin Qingqing walked out to greet the two of them and said that she saw some nice skirts in the city yesterday and bought two dresses for Xiaomei.

Xiuhong praised Lin Qingqing for being good to Xiaomei.

"Your cousin is like your own sister." Team leader Song receives a monthly allowance of more than 200 yuan, and they don't think Lin Qingqing is a spendthrift. Anyone who has money and doesn't spend it is a fool.

Lin Qingqing smiled: "I am the only girl in my family. Xiaomei lives in the village next to us. We grew up together. She is no different from my own sister." Xiaomei is capable. She brought Xiaomei here just because she didn't want to live alone in the same room with Song Yiyuan. She didn't expect Xiaomei to give her so many surprises.

Xiaomei changed her clothes and came out, greeting Xiuhong and Honghua with a smile.

The three of them looked like one face, all sporting the same grin.

"Qingqing, let's go now so that we can have lunch when we come back."

Honghua urged Lin Qingqing to go to the mountain. They were anxious when they heard Xiaomei say in the morning that the herb cost 1.3 yuan per pound. Their demands were not high. They just wanted to earn 30 yuan a month, which was higher than the salary of their sister-in-law who worked in the materials factory. The salary at the factory was only 13 yuan.

The troops built a military supplies production plant in the nearby village to supply the 97th Army. In that era, transportation was still very inconvenient and costly, so the troops would build factories nearby to produce supplies.

"Let's change our clothes and go now."

Xiaomei and Lin Qingqing changed into their old long-sleeved shirts and old shoes and went up the mountain with Xiuhong and Honghua.
