Chapter 48 Buying New Clothes

"Yeah, that's good. You got fourth place. Not bad. I wonder how our little monkey did."

"Hua Zi, how did you make such great progress? Do you have any learning methods? Come to my house and tell our Er Dan about it someday."

Before Li Hongbin started to speak, his colleagues were already talking one after another, and they seemed to care more about him than Li Hongbin.

Li Hongbin was naturally very surprised, but he was afraid that Li Wenhua would be too proud, so he still said humbly to his colleagues: "It depends on how you do in the future. You have to keep it up."

After exchanging pleasantries, they finally got home.

"Dad, you said that if I get into the top ten, you would teach me martial arts. Now I have exceeded my goal." Li Wenhua couldn't wait to get into the yard.

Li Hongbin naturally agreed. His son did so well in the exam, and the reward he wanted was to learn martial arts. This was something he had never dared to think about before.

He immediately took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, Dad will teach you now."

Li Wenhua shouted happily and jumped up.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'll practice after dinner." Qin Lan smiled at the father and son.

"If you want to do something, you have to do it immediately. Don't wait. Come on, Wenhua, don't listen to your mother."

Li Wenhua jumped up like a monkey with even more joy. He could soon be like his sister and easily defeat everyone in the world. He fantasized about being able to do a chic and beautiful double flying swallow or carp stand like his sister. Then his buddies must admire him very much.

Li Wenhua was also very serious in practicing basic skills. Even a simple punch was practiced repeatedly with great seriousness.

In the past, Li Wenhua would definitely not want to practice after a while. But during this period of time, he saw with his own eyes how his sister practiced, and he knew that this was a necessary process. He could clearly see the results of practicing like this.

When it was almost time for dinner, Li Wenhua reluctantly stood up.

Only then did he see his second sister standing by and watching.

"Second sister, second sister, how am I doing?" Li Wenhua happily performed another set of punches for Li Wenxi to see.

Li Wenxi smiled and nodded: "Not bad, keep persisting in the future, and you will be able to do handstands and somersaults soon." She knew that Li Wenhua was envious every time he saw her doing somersaults.

Li Wenhua jumped three feet high with joy and went in to change clothes.

Li Hongbin noticed that Li Wenxi didn't seem that happy. He wiped his face with a towel and said to Li Wenxi: "It doesn't matter if you didn't do well this time. There is still half a year before the high school entrance examination. Just work hard in the future."

Li Wenxi was stunned. She understood that Li Hongbin was comforting her, and she really felt that she didn't reach her goal in this exam. Nodding, "Dad, I know, I will work hard." Try to get into the top 50 in the city.

Qin Lan, who brought the dishes to the living room, glanced at Li Wenxi, "It's useless to study hard, you also need talent. Wenhua did homework with you every day and got the fourth place. Tingting didn't read books every day and got the 27th place. You, you just say keep working hard."

Li Wenxi didn't want to pay attention to Qin Lan anymore. She felt that competing with her was a waste of energy. It would be better to rush into the top 50 with this time and energy.

Li Hongbin also thought that Li Wenxi really didn't do well in the exam, so he secretly glared at Qin Lan and warned her not to say anything more.

At the dinner table, Li Wenxi ate two full bowls of rice. She had been feeling very hungry recently. She practiced sword for an hour and a half in the morning and practiced math competition questions for the whole afternoon. She didn't feel hungry until she ate. But once she started eating, she felt like her stomach was a bottomless pit.

Li Wenting, who had only taken a small bite, looked at her with disdain. It was as if she had never eaten meat before. She was so rude. Is there any girl who eats so much? She is really ungirly.

She looked at Li Wenhua who was going to compete with Li Wenxi in eating. She felt that her brother was getting further and further away from her. After thinking for a while, she said, "Wenhua, I'll go to Ningcheng to help you pick out clothes tomorrow. I will make sure your clothes are the best-looking on the island."

Li Wenhua was not that interested in clothes. He was only interested in practicing martial arts now. He replied absentmindedly. Then he turned around and discussed the martial arts practice tomorrow morning with Li Wenxi: "Second sister, I want to get up with you to practice martial arts tomorrow morning."

Li Wenting was so angry that she fell backwards, "You will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow morning."

"Humph, I will definitely be able to get up." Li Wenhua was very angry.

"Are you going to Ningcheng to buy clothes tomorrow?" Li Hongbin asked.

Qin Lan nodded, "Take Tingting and Wenhua to buy clothes for the New Year."

Li Hongbin frowned, "Xiaoxi is not going?"

Qin Lan glanced at Li Wenxi who was eating and said, "She has to study every day."

"Xiaoxi should go too, buy her a set of clothes too." Li Hongbin's tone did not allow for doubt.

"Dad, no, I have enough clothes to wear." Li Wenxi really wanted to study at home and did not want to waste time going to Ningcheng to buy clothes.

"Xiaoxi, go buy a set. If you like something, let your mother buy it for you."

Li Wenxi wanted to refuse, but when she looked up and saw Li Hongbin's eager eyes, she knew that her father was worried about her, so she agreed after thinking about it. It was just right to go to Ningcheng to buy some counseling books.

"Great, my second sister is going too." Li Wenhua cheered.

Li Wenting glanced at Li Wenhua, wishing she could step on him.

The next day, after getting off the ship, Qin Lan led a few people to the department store.

It was the first time that Li Wenxi had seen such a large department store. There were four floors inside. The first floor sold watches and various gold and silver jewelry, the second floor sold various foods, and the third floor sold clothes. There were men's clothing, women's clothing, elderly clothing, and children's clothing. The variety of clothes was dazzling and people were dazzled. Compared with this place, the clothing store on the island was really small and pitiful.

Qin Lan first took a few people to the women's clothing area. There was a model at the door of one of the stores. The model was wearing a blue plaid coat with a novel style. Everyone who passed by would take a few glances.

"Salesperson, I want to try this blue plaid coat." Li Wenting walked into the store very confidently.

The others followed her. The female salesperson took a look at Li Wenting's clothes, then at Qin Lan behind her, and enthusiastically took out another blue plaid coat from the store: "You really have good taste. This is the latest style. Coats are popular this year. This plaid one is a classic style and will never go out of style."

Li Wenting took off her cotton jacket, put on the coat, and looked at herself in the dressing mirror. She seemed very satisfied.

Qin Lan was also very satisfied: "The coat is indeed slimmer than the cotton jacket, and it looks more elegant. This one is good."

The female salesperson was very happy to hear this. Seeing Li Wenxi on the side, she smiled and said: "We also have a bright red plaid coat. Why don't you try it too?"

Qin Lan thought about it and nodded, "Then bring them all and try them on."

Li Wenting was immediately unhappy when she heard this, but she still wouldn't make a scene outside. She knew Qin Lan liked her well-educated and well-mannered appearance.

Li Wenxi let the salesperson wait for her to put it on, and then she saw the female salesperson's eyes showing surprise: "Oh, it's really beautiful, you have fair skin, tall and slim, wearing this coat, your temperament is different." She said to Qin Lan: "Look, your daughter looks good in red, doesn't she?"
