Chapter 18 Shopping Together
Zhang Weiguo sat on the sofa, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said, "Auntie, since the child knows that she is wrong, give her another chance to correct it."
Mrs. Fang actually couldn't bear it.
She understood how much effort it took to leave her hometown.
She also knew that once Fang Yingqiu returned to her hometown, she would be married off to a donkey, horse, or other bastard in exchange for money to marry her younger brother.
Mrs. Fang's expression softened and she helped Fang Yingqiu, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, follow me to Captain Qin's house tomorrow and apologize to Su Su. If she forgives you, let this matter go. I've watched you grow up, how could I not think of you? I'll find a good family for you in the future. Captain Qin, don't think about it anymore."
Fang Yingqiu lowered her head, covering her already red cheeks, her eyes full of hatred. Her other hand was clenched tightly, her nails digging into the flesh. She nodded and said,
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I'll go apologize to Su Su tomorrow!"
The next morning, just as Su Su finished washing up, there was a knock on the door.
"Is Captain Qin home? I'm Sister Fang."
Mrs. Fang?
What is she here for?
Su Su was wondering when Qin Xutao had already opened the door.
Mrs. Fang's face was full of smiles, and Fang Yingqiu followed behind her. She looked pale and her eyes were red.
"I heard from Weiguo that Captain Qin, you have asked for leave today."
"I just wanted to bring Yingqiu here to apologize to Miss Su."
As she said that, she pushed Fang Yingqiu.
Fang Yingqiu fell to her knees at the door, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Su Su, I'm sorry. I was so scared after I fell into the water yesterday that I became delirious and spoke nonsense after I got ashore."
Su Su lost her appetite for breakfast.
Although she was angry, she couldn't say anything seeing Fang Yingqiu's expression. Besides, if she knelt at the door like this, who knows what others would say if they saw her, and it wouldn't be good for Qin Xutao either.
Su Su then said, "I don't care whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, but this is the only chance I have. I hope you can seize it."
Seeing Su Su's reassurance, Mrs. Fang immediately put on a brighter smile.
He then took Fang Yingqiu aside and said several words of thanks.
Then he left.
Before leaving, Fang Yingqiu looked at Qin Xutao several times with a sad look, but did not get a single look from him.
Su Su nodded in satisfaction, turned to Qin Xutao and said:
"Did you take a day off specifically to accompany me today?"
When speaking, Su Su's eyes sparkled, making people unable to help but be drawn into her.
Qin Xutao nodded: "Yes."
Su Su felt happy. She knew that Qin Xutao knew they came back to apologize, but was afraid that he could not deal with Mrs. Fang and Fang Yingqiu alone, so he took leave to accompany her.
This man is quite attentive.
Now that I finally have some time, I must take him out for a walk.
Su Su said, "Would you please accompany me to the city for a stroll today?"
Qin Xutao pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll go drive first and wait for you at the gate of the military family compound."
It was the first time for Su Su to go to the city with Qin Xutao, and she felt a little excited just thinking about it.
She wore a red woolen coat with a white fur collar around her neck, which made her look even more beautiful.
Su Su took out cosmetics from the space and put on fake natural makeup.
After leaving the military family compound, I saw a car parked on the side of the road.
After Su Su got in the car, Qin Xutao's eyes fell on her face and he frowned slightly.
Su Su curled her lips and thought, what's with that expression? Is there something wrong with her makeup today?
So he asked directly: "Do I look good today?"
Qin Xutao couldn't deny that anyone would be attracted by Su Su's beauty and couldn't take their eyes off her.
He is the same.
Qin Xutao nodded and replied truthfully: "It looks good."
Su Su immediately became happy and said, "Let's go!"
Time passed quickly along the way. When they arrived in the city, Su Su and Qin Xutao first came to the clothing area of the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are not many styles of clothes in Heicheng, and most of them are very loose and bulky. Su Su picked and chose but didn't see anything that satisfied her.
It would be nice if there was a place that could be customized according to body shape.
That’s right!
A tailor shop would certainly do.
Su Su asked an aunt next to her and found out that there was a very famous tailor shop in the city.
Following their aunt's instructions, Su Su and Qin Xutao found the tailor shop in an alley.
The outside walls were covered with tattered newspapers.
Push the door open and go in.
The tailor shop is not big, but it is filled with various fabrics and sewing machines.
Hearing the sound, an old man came out and asked, "Are you making clothes? Or mending clothes?"
Su Su quickly said, "I want to make two sets of clothes from you."
This is the design drawing.
She had already designed clothes for herself that were not eye-catching and comfortable to wear.
The old man took it and looked at it, his eyes lighting up.
"This design can be drawn like this!"
"I've never seen anything like this before."
"Where did you learn that?"
Su Su smiled and said, "I'm quite interested in this and figured it out on my own."
The old man stopped asking questions and said, "I can make this dress. You can come back in three days to pick it up. But you have to pay a deposit in advance. Otherwise, if you don't come, I will lose money!"
Su Su nodded and said with a smile: "Of course!"
Su Su was just about to take money out of her pocket.
At this time, Qin Xutao handed over the money and said, "I'll pay."
The old man laughed heartily: "Not bad, young man, you are very considerate and know how to pay for it yourself."
Then he said to Su Su, "I've checked for you. You can marry this boy! There's no doubt about it."
Su Su finally walked out of the tailor shop with a smile.
It's almost noon.
Su Su and Qin Xutao discovered a state-owned restaurant.
Su Su became interested instantly.
She hadn't experienced what a restaurant like this year was like, so she turned to Qin Xutao and said, "Let's go inside and eat!"
Qin Xutao nodded, and the two of them entered the restaurant together.
Qin Xutao did not wear a military uniform when he went out today, but only wore ordinary clothes.
When the waiter at the state-owned restaurant saw how young the two were, his face immediately turned a little unhappy.
"If you don't have money, don't come in to eat, otherwise it will take you half a day to clean the table."
Served with an eye roll, though without naming anyone.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows who she is talking about.
Su Su was furious. She dragged Qin Xutao to a place to sit down and said, "I want to order some food."
The waiter's face turned grim at this moment: "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
Su Su stared at her and said word by word: "How do you know we have no money?"
"Okay, okay, here's the menu, go ahead and order! But if you end up running out of money and want to dine and dash, don't blame me for being rude and calling the police to arrest you."
