As agreed the day before, Qiu Yuling packed up early and went to the meeting place to wait for Wang Yingxi.
"I'm sorry, I almost overslept. I told you not to be late, but I didn't expect that I was the one holding you back." Wang Yingxi ran all the way out of breath, and sure enough, her colleagues were already waiting for her when she arrived.
"It's okay. I just caught the departure. I came too early." Qiu Yuling had just finished speaking when a big bun was stuffed into her hand.
"Tofu and vermicelli noodles. My mom steamed them yesterday. I didn't have time to eat them this morning, so she insisted I bring them along, and even packed a portion for you."
No matter how hard Qiu Yuling pushed, she couldn't get the push forward. She wanted to call for help. Why were her friends' mothers so enthusiastic?
Before getting on the bus, the two of them wolfed down a bun and choked so much that they rolled their eyes. There were too many people on the bus, making it inconvenient to eat, and the taste was not suitable for eating either.
"Do you have money with you? What are you planning to buy today?" Wang Yingxi's voice was neither loud nor soft, and Qiu Yuling hushed her.
He added softly, "Sister Xier, I'm carsick and can't talk. Let's talk after we get off the car."
Several ears were listening attentively, and she didn't want to cause trouble, so she had to make an excuse and kept silent.
What's more, the driver drove the bus like a flying car, swinging its tail from time to time, and occasionally slamming on the brakes. Baozi, who was already having trouble moving, wanted to rush up from time to time and rush back to attack her.
After finally reaching the city, Wang Yingxi helped Qiu Yuling down and asked, "Why are you so dizzy?"
"Well, I usually don't eat before getting on the bus. It's easy to do this if I'm too full."
"It's all my fault. You said you didn't want to eat it, but I thought you were lying and insisted on asking you to eat it."
"How can I blame you for this? You can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to. I was really hungry at that time, especially since the food your aunt cooked was so delicious. I couldn't help it once you started eating it." How could you ask others to share your food and not get any good results?
Only then did Wang Yingxi put her heart back into her stomach.
"Rest a little longer, and then we can go shopping again when you feel better."
"It's okay, Sister Xier, you'll feel much more comfortable when the wind blows. Let's go." The bus station is still some distance away from the department store, so it's about the same distance if you walk there.
It was still a little chilly in the mornings and evenings in June. Qiu Yuling was wearing a thin sweater when she went out, but she felt hot when she walked, so she had to take off the sweater and put it on her arms.
"Hey~ I just noticed your shirt collar looks really nice, but I didn't expect it to look even better worn alone."
Qiu Yuling was wearing a floral shirt with a doll collar today. The material was brought to her by Qiu's mother last time, and she said she got it from someone she exchanged at the market.
Seeing that she had bought a sewing machine, I was planning to make something for her myself, but I persuaded her not to do so. She made a doll collar according to her own ideas and used elastic to gather the cuffs into a ruffle.
When paired with a sweater jacket, it shows a small collar and lace cuffs, which is very beautiful. It also looks good with a suspender skirt. However, she felt that the skirt was inconvenient to wear today because she was riding in the car, so she didn't match it so well.
"Where did you buy it?" Wang Yingxi had never seen anyone wearing anything like this.
"I just made it myself. If you have the material, I'll make one for you later."
Wang Yingxi nodded immediately, "Then I won't be polite. I'll buy some material today. Just make me one like you did."
The two of them were talking as they walked, and soon they arrived at their destination.
"It's in the city after all, so it has more things than our county. What do you think of that one?" Wang Yingxi pulled Qiu Yuling to take a look.
Following her finger, Qiu Yuling nodded, "It looks pretty good."
It's a dress with a pointed collar and a waist. It's red with white dots, very classic.
"Comrade, could you please pick out that dress so we can have a look?"
The salesperson only raised his eyelids. "Eighteen yuan. From Chengdu. The last one."
There were many people interested in the product, but as soon as the price was quoted, they all ran away. She had seen this many times and was too lazy to bother with it.
"Hiss~" Several people around gasped. Many people who had just been looking at the clothes went around looking for other things after hearing the prices.
"The last one? But what about the two of us?" Wang Yingxi was a little embarrassed.
The salesperson sneered, and she just listened to what he said casually. She was just trying to save face. If there were not enough points, she would not buy it. It seemed that she was not giving up because she could not afford it.
"It's okay, Sister Xier, I'll take a look at the others. The one you like first will be yours first."
Wang Yingxi, who was originally embarrassed, also liked it so much, saw his companion take a step back and immediately stopped hesitating, "Thank you very much, Yuling, we will show you later, comrade, you can pick it up now."
The salesperson then looked the customer in front of him squarely. Seeing that it was a genuine buyer, he put away his previous laziness. His attitude was still not very good, but it was much better than before.
"Comrade, can I try it on? It's such an expensive garment, you should at least try it on to see if it fits you."
The salesperson swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, turned around, pulled a curtain in the corner, pointed to a place and asked her to go in and try it.
Wang Yingxi changed into her skirt and came out, "Yuling, please help me take a look, how is it?" There was no full-length mirror, so she barely looked at herself through the glass of the counter, and she still felt very good about herself.
However, I still want to hear my companions' opinions.
"It looks good, and it sets off your fair skin." People nowadays are all thin, and except for the slightly loose or tight bust, the waist and other things can basically wear it.
It just so happened that when she went out today, she was wearing a pair of black suede cloth shoes with small heels and handles, which looked particularly good with her skirt.
"Okay, comrade, please help me pack my old clothes and I'll wear this one when I leave." She didn't even blink when she paid.
The salesperson actually smiled at this moment, and for the first time ever, he praised the product by saying it was pretty.
The two walked a distance away, and Wang Yingxi was still chattering, "Look at her, she's so arrogant at first but so respectful later. She thinks this department store belongs to her."
There weren't many girls wearing skirts, and even fewer who were pretty and wore skirts. Wang Yingxi accepted the attention from passers-by openly and felt very happy.
"You should look too, don't just look at me." Wang Yingxi gained something and wanted to tell his friend not to go there in vain.
Qiu Yuling actually liked a pair of white Huili shoes.
She asked for a pair of shoes of the right size and tried them on her feet. She found that there was thick sponge under her feet and the rubber soles were made of very good material. They were very comfortable, even more comfortable than Liberation shoes.
This was also thanks to Wang Yingxi buying a skirt just now. The shoe salesperson thought that the two of them were serious buyers, so he gave her a break and let her try it on.
"Comrade, please help me make a pair of size 36 and a pair of size 37." The size 36 is just right for her now, and her feet seem to be still growing. Unfortunately, there is only one pair of size 37 left.
"Oh, okay."
"Nine dollars and eighty cents a pair, and I bought two pairs at once. These days, young girls are really big spenders..."
After everyone had left, a few salespeople were still huddled together, whispering to each other.
