Soon, Xuemei came out with a new dress, handed it to Han Chen and said, "This is your birthday present. Go to Ruirui's room and try it on to see if it fits you!"
When Han Chen heard this, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up. His eyes were filled with a kind of silent joy, and the expression on his face was as blooming as cherry blossoms in spring. The surprise made him become lively. At this moment, Xuemei saw the innocence and joy of his childhood in him. No one could tell that he was usually a cold and silent person.
Xuemei smiled and said, "Okay, stop being so happy and go try on the clothes!"
After Xuemei finished speaking, she stuffed the clothes into Han Chen's hands, pushed him into Ruirui and Feifei's room, and closed the door considerately.
After a while, Han Chen opened the door and walked out. Xuemei went to meet him. From the front, it looked quite fitting. Although the army green shirt was not as elegant as Han Chen's usual white shirt, it added a bit of youthfulness to Han Chen and made him look quite handsome.
"It looks like it fits well from the front. Turn around so I can see the back!" Xuemei said to Han Chen.
Han Chen turned around obediently. Xuemei thought that his shoulders were suitable and the clothes on his back fit him well!
Xuemei added, "Raise your hands and move them around to see if they're comfortable to wear!"
Han Chen followed Xuemei's instructions and raised his arms several times, shaking them. Finding no obstruction, he said to Xuemei, "I think it's quite comfortable to wear, and the size is right!"
Xuemei looked at the slightly short sleeves, frowned, and said, "The sleeves are still two centimeters too short. I didn't buy enough cloth, so it's hard to add some for you now!"
"Xuemei, it's okay! This is just right for exercising, I like it very much! Thank you for making clothes for me with all your heart!" Han Chen said to Xuemei affectionately. Only now did Han Chen understand why Xuemei suddenly asked him if he had grown taller that day.
"You need to thank not only me, but also my mother. I told you that the size of your clothes was not quite right. It was my mother who altered them based on how she looked at you. Only then can the clothes fit you well. The cloth was also cut by my mother, and I just sewed it!" Xuemei said.
"Then I will respect your parents with you in the future, and you can thank my aunt for me, but I am most happy because you did it!" Han Chen looked into the yard and found that no one was coming. Then he took Xuemei's hands, looked into her eyes and said, "Xuemei, you are so good to me. I am afraid I will become more and more dependent on you in the future!"
Xuemei smiled, glared at Han Chen, and said, "You've been getting sweeter and sweeter lately. You must have eaten so much candy before!"
Han Chen laughed when he heard it and said, "If you like to hear it, I will tell you more in the future!"
As soon as Han Chen finished speaking, Xuemei shook off his hands. Han Chen looked at Xuemei in confusion, and followed Xuemei's eyes to look at the yard, only to realize that Feifei had come back from picking vegetables.
Feifei handed the basket to Xuemei and said, "Big sister, do you think this is enough for Sister Yaoyao and the others?"
Xuemei took the basket and looked at it, then said, "That's enough! This will last them several days!"
Feifei finally had time to look at Han Chen. Looking at Han Chen's new clothes, she said enviously, "Sister, Ruirui and I want shirts too!"
"Shirts need to be made to fit well to look good and be comfortable. You and Ruirui are still growing, so it's not suitable to make shirts for you now. You won't be able to wear them in a few months. It's such a waste of fabric. I'll make shirts for you in a few years!" Xuemei explained.
"Okay!" Feifei said a little disappointedly.
Xuemei looked at Han Chen who was standing beside her and said, "Hurry up and take the clothes back to the Youth Hostel and put them away. Go get the tractor and wait for Qingya and Ruirui to come back, then we'll leave!"
"Oh!" Han Chen said as he walked towards Ruirui and his brother's room. He came out again without changing his clothes and looked at Xuemei and asked tentatively, "Xuemei, can we tell the villagers about our relationship now?"
"Of course!" Xuemei said seriously.
Han Chen couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Then I'll wear this dress to the county town today. I'll drive the car over now!"
Han Chen just walked to the main room and came back, looking at Xuemei and said, "I forgot to take my clothes!"
Xuemei watched Han Chen run into the room and rolled her eyes speechlessly.
By the time Han Chen drove the tractor outside the Liu family's yard, Qingya, Ruirui, and the others had returned! Xuemei and her brothers and sisters packed their belongings, closed the door, and rode Han Chen's bicycle to the county town.
After arriving at the county town, Xuemei and her four siblings waited for Han Chen to go to the transport plant to fill up the car with gasoline, and also filled the diesel tank in the village with oil. Then they parked the car at the transport plant and asked someone to help take a look at it. Then they headed towards the steel plant!
When she arrived at Mingzheng's workplace, Xuemei handed the things to the old man guarding the door and asked him to wait for Mingzheng to get off work and give them to Mingzheng. Xuemei also specially gave the old man two kilograms of fresh vegetables.
After leaving the steel plant, Xuemei took others to the hospital to find Luo Yao.
"Luo Yao, this!" Xuemei stood at the door of the hospital lobby and waved at Xuemei who was running over.
"Xuemei, I've been waiting for you since this morning! Did you bring me anything delicious? My brothers and sisters are here too!" Luo Yao said, looking at Qingya and the other two behind Xuemei.
Xuemei waited until Qingya and the other two had finished calling everyone before she took Luo Yao's arm and said, "Today is a day off for them, so it's a good time to bring them out for some fun!
Don't worry, I brought you plenty of food. I brought you two cans of pickled fern and bamboo shoots, both ready to eat. I also brought you some dried fern and bamboo shoots, both freshly made this year, so you can keep them for later. My mother also brought you ten eggs, as she was worried you wouldn't be able to buy them in the city. I also brought you a cured rabbit, which has been dried well in the oven. If you store it well, it will keep for several months!
