Xiangnan quickly invited them into the house.
She brought the cut watermelon over and then went to get the skirts and hung them on the rack for Zhou Ting to choose from.
Zhou Ting is from Tianhe Village and is somewhat related to Aunt Zhou.
"She's going to visit someone in a couple of days. Today, she saw the skirt the village secretary's daughter was wearing and wanted to buy one, so she came here to look for it."
"Then you've come to the right place. Wear the dress I chose, and I guarantee that the person who sees you will never forget you."
Xiangnan boasted shamelessly that doing business was not shameful.
Zhou Ting smiled shyly: "The other party's conditions are better than my family's, I... I'm afraid he won't like me."
"She met someone from the county. The other party works in a porcelain factory and has a stable job," Zhou Xiumei explained.
Xiangnan was happy for her: "This marriage is great! I must dress you up so that he will fall in love with you at first sight!"
Zhou Ting was a little embarrassed: "Really... is it really possible?"
"Since you've come to my house, I can't let down a sincere customer like you. Leave it to me."
Xiangnan took a light blue three-quarter sleeve shirt from the shelf, and then took a floral skirt in the same color.
Zhou Ting is thin and has a small frame, so this kind of small floral pattern is particularly suitable for her.
The elastic waistband in the middle of the floral skirt is made of pink, which is the most eye-catching part of the skirt.
As expected of clothes produced in Guangzhou, they really know how to add the finishing touch.
"This... Can I wear this? I... I've never worn it like this before." Zhou Ting was a little hesitant to try it.
Usually girls in the countryside either wear a shirt and trousers.
Or it’s a whole skirt, without any pattern, mostly dark in color for convenience.
"Absolutely, it will look good on you.
Go ahead and try it, but if it doesn’t look good on you, I won’t buy it.”
Xiangnan assured her and took her to a room next door.
"There's a mirror inside. Go ahead and try it. I'll be guarding the door for you. Don't worry, no one will come in."
Xiangnan stood guard at the door, and did not forget to shout to Zhou Xiumei in the main room: "Aunt Zhou, help yourself to the melon."
Zhou Ting changed quickly and was stunned when she looked at herself in the mirror.
I didn’t expect that I would look so much prettier after changing my clothes. I feel like I’m almost as pretty as those college students in the county.
She walked out happily: "Xiangnan, I feel good, I have become beautiful."
Xiangnan was also very satisfied. It turned out that she had made the right choice.
The pink elastic waistband is the finishing touch, and the skirt corrects the imperfect body proportions of Zhou Ting.
"It's beautiful, but you can be even more beautiful. I'll teach you how to tie your hair. You can do it like I did that day."
Xiangnan asked Zhou Ting to sit on the chair.
"Tie a small braid on both sides of the head, and then pass the braid through the rubber band to form a small nest-like shape.
Then clip the two braids together at the back of your head."
Xiangnan took a large blue polka dot cloth hairpin and pinned the two braids together at the back of her head.
Zhou Ting's eyes lit up. It was so simple, yet it looked much better.
Xiangnan took out another lip balm and gave it to Zhou Ting: "You must use this to wipe your mouth. It can make your lips red.
It can also make your skin look moisturized and plump. I'll give it a try for you."
After applying it, Zhou Ting couldn't believe that it was herself in the mirror.
"Is this me?"
"Of course it's you. You are just so beautiful. Be more confident. That person will be lucky to marry you."
Zhou Ting looked at herself in the mirror again and again. She was so beautiful. She didn’t know she could be so beautiful.
When Zhou Ting came out, Zhou Xiumei also widened her eyes.
I couldn't believe that such a pretty little girl suddenly became so dazzling, and her whole body exuded a different kind of glow.
Zhou Xiumei couldn't describe it, she just felt that even Zhou Ting's smile was different.
"Tingting, you are so beautiful. It's true that clothes make the man." Zhou Xiumei was a little moved.
She tugged at her coarse cloth and asked with a smile, "Xiangnan, would it be okay if I put it on... Forget it, it's too expensive, I can't afford it."
Xiangnan smiled and said, “Aunt Zhou, if you wait a little longer, maybe you can afford it.
I'm trying to find a way to get Dacron fabric from Guangzhou and make it myself; it would be much cheaper."
The Dacron sold here for one yuan per foot may only cost one yuan per meter in Guangzhou.
It's much cheaper to get the goods from there.
She will definitely go to Guangzhou when she has the chance.
They are not far from Guangzhou. It only takes six or seven hours by train. You can get there by just taking a nap at night.
Zhou Xiumei's eyes widened. "Really? It really will be cheap, but... no matter how cheap it is, I probably can't afford it."
If I had this money, I would rather buy a few more pounds of meat for my eldest and second child.
Xiangnan smiled but said nothing. Their hearts would always change slowly as their days got better.
Zhou Xiumei asked, "How much does Zhou Ting's outfit cost?"
“The shirt is three, the skirt is five, the hairpin is one, and the sandals are three.
Lip balm originally costs 50 cents, so don’t count it.”
It was only for Zhou Xiumei's sake that she gave her a discount on the price of the lip balm, and she refused to sell it to her for a penny less in the town.
Good things are never sold at a low price. She bought the goods at a high price and it is impossible for her to sell them at a low price.
If you calculate carefully, Zhou Ting's entire outfit only cost twelve yuan.
Zhou Ting was very satisfied, so she didn't bargain. She was mentally prepared and had brought enough money.
She took out a handkerchief bag containing the pocket money she had saved.
One cent, fifty cents, one dollar, these are all small change.
