Then her phone rang, and she looked at it.
"They're here, they're here."
Xia Li said, "I'll go down and get them."
"Okay, I'll go down too."
As soon as Xia's mother finished speaking, she looked at Xia Li's feet and exclaimed, "You're going to wear slippers??"
Xia Li: "Huh?"
“Change it—this coat won’t do either. What about the down jacket I bought you a couple of days ago? The white one. Go change into it!” Xia’s mother said.
Xia Li: "...Didn't we say we'd wear it for the New Year?"
"It's Chinese New Year now! Hurry—go—"
