Chapter 251 Going to School Together

Having come here, Meng Xiaoxiao still planned to go to Yangliu Village. It was already late, so Meng Xiaoxiao found a guesthouse to stay in. Thinking that she hadn't seen Ning Zhiyuan for a long time, she also wanted to stay at the village chief's house, so Meng Xiaoxiao went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

She couldn't go empty-handed, so she still had to buy something.

When she walked into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative again and saw the clothes the salesperson was wearing, Meng Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

She remembered that the last time they came, they were still wearing the most ordinary clothes, which looked rustic and had no characteristics.

But how long has it been? Many of the sales clerks here are wearing tight cheongsams!

This is a modified cheongsam, which is more convenient than the cheongsam and can be worn for work. It is the first time that Meng Xiaoxiao has seen this kind of clothing.

"You're wearing this?"

The sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperatives are all shrewd people. They can tell whether a person has money or not just by looking at her clothes.

They usually ignored ordinary people, but they were much more enthusiastic towards people like Meng Xiaoxiao.

"Comrade, the clothes we are wearing are custom-made! You see, although the styles of our clothes are similar, there are some differences. Our master here said that no clothes are exactly the same! Do you want to customize a set?"

"Customized?" Meng Xiaoxiao pondered over this word, and it seemed to be somewhat interesting.

“How to customize?”

"If you want to buy cloth from us, the price for a set of clothes is six dollars. If you are sure you want to make it, we will help you register. When the master comes, we will help you measure your size!"

Meng Xiaoxiao also made clothes when she was in Beijing, and the process was similar.

But she didn't expect that there would be one in this remote town.

And this style doesn’t look ugly. It will definitely look beautiful if you wear it yourself.

Meng Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Then let me take a look at the fabrics you have here, is there anything better?"

The salesperson enthusiastically led her to the shop. The fabrics here were definitely not as good as those in Beijing. But there were some that she liked. Meng Xiaoxiao selected two pieces and paid a deposit. She didn't care when she heard that the master would come the day after tomorrow.

Now that she's here, she plans to stay here for a few more days.

After ordering the clothes, I saw the accessories on sale. In addition to headwear, there are also brooches, hair accessories, belts, etc. There are many styles and they all look very unique.

Meng Xiaoxiao selected some with great interest and ended up spending more than 60 yuan in total.

After buying these, she went to the snack area. Now you need a snack ticket to buy snacks, and the price will be much higher without a ticket.

The people in Yangliu Village don't have good food on a regular basis, so they definitely don't want to buy snacks. Meng Xiaoxiao had already thought about it, she bought two packs of snacks and some meat, and it would be good enough to carry them over.

After buying everything, Meng Xiaoxiao hired a bullock cart. She was not healthy and her body could not stand the strain. She would be exhausted if she walked on foot.

After everything was settled, she carried her things back to the guesthouse.

A woman carrying so many things would definitely be quite ostentatious in this era. But Meng Xiaoxiao didn't care. She had money in her hands, so she didn't need these little things.

Thinking that she would be able to see Ning Zhiyuan tomorrow, Meng Xiaoxiao lay in bed for a long time and couldn't sleep well.

I haven't seen Ning Zhiyuan for such a long time, and I don't know how he is doing.

At this time, Meng Xiaoxiao had already ignored the fact that Ning Zhiyuan was married. Maybe she didn't want to admit it at all!

…

After getting up in the morning, Xia Liang and Ning Zhiyuan made breakfast together.

Their breakfast was similar to the usual ones. After breakfast, Ning Zhiyuan went out to work while Xia Liang continued to make clothes.

Aunt Li, Aunt Xu and the others also came over. They were all very aware that Xia Liang had already settled their wages once.

Aunt Li said that it would be fine to settle once a month, Xia Liang agreed, and there would be attendance records every day.

A few people went to work in the next room, and Xia Liang continued to make clothes.

"Sister, how can you still sit still?"

Yang Xiaohong ran over in a hurry, and Xia Liang looked at her in surprise: "Aren't you studying at home?"

"Oh, my sister, what am I studying? I was reading a book early in the morning, and someone came home. Who do you think it was?"

Seeing Yang Xiaohong's excitement, Xia Liang didn't know where to guess.

"Who is it?"

"Meng Xiaoxiao!"

Hearing this name again, Xia Liang was stunned for a moment. Didn't Meng Xiaoxiao go back? Why did she come back so soon?

"She came to look for my dad. Knowing that my brother-in-law went to the reservoir, she went there too!"

"I feel bad when I see her eager and excited look. Sister, how can she be so shameless? My brother-in-law is married, but she still clings to him like this. Doesn't her family care about her?"

"Don't you know that she also bought snacks and meat, and brought two bags of snacks to my house. With that condescending look, someone who didn't know would think she was holding gold! Didn't she think about whether my family needed these little snacks?"

Xia Liang gave the snacks to Xu Jun and Li Qiang, and also distributed them to the soldiers at the reservoir, so naturally Aunt Li's family would not be left out.

Yang Xiaohong can eat it every day. Although she doesn’t have it every day, she definitely doesn’t crave it.

The village chief didn't even look at it at the time, and Meng Xiaoxiao looked surprised.

"Sister, stop doing that, let's go to the reservoir now!"

Yang Xiaohong stepped forward and grabbed Xia Liang's arm, wanting to pull her to the reservoir to see Ning Zhiyuan.

However, Xia Liang did not move at all, but her feet kept moving and she was still making clothes.

"What are you looking at? What's so good about it? They grew up together, if they had feelings for each other, they would have already existed. Xiaohong, you have to know that you can't force feelings in this world. What's yours won't run away, and what's not yours can't be snatched away!"

Knowing that Meng Xiaoxiao had returned, Xia Liang was still surprised, but only for a moment.

She was not worried that Meng Xiaoxiao would become as she said. If Ning Zhiyuan had even a little affection for Meng Xiaoxiao, the two of them would have been together a long time ago.

After all, the minimum age for marriage at that time was 18, and Ning Zhiyuan was already in his twenties.

Judging from Meng Xiaoxiao's appearance, she should be over 18 years old. If they were really in love, they would have been married long ago. Why would they wait for me to show up?

Seeing Xia Liang so calm, Yang Xiaohong was still uneasy: "But sister, I'm still worried!"

"Go home and study quickly. The college entrance examination is not long away. Don't you want to get into college and go to a big city with me to develop your career?"

"Let me tell you, my goal is to go to the capital, don't you want to go?"

Yang Xiaohong swallowed her saliva. The scores there must be quite high. She, a poor student...

But she also didn't want to be separated from her sister. After being with Xia Liang, Yang Xiaohong realized how shallow her knowledge was before.

Xia Liang is smart and quick-witted. Even if the same thing seems like a joke to her, she can always think of the best solution.

Just like when she saw Xia Jing that day, she didn't even notice that Xia Jing had her hair cut, but Xia Liang thought of asking for money.
