Chapter 27 Eyes That Discover Beauty
So she only said something when Xia Keqing and the others asked her.
Li Fen looked embarrassed. "Otherwise, I'd better not buy it. I have clothes to wear at home."
Among the four people living in the same dormitory, Li Fen was the most embarrassed.
Xia Keqing had read the original text and knew that both Li Fen and his wife were hardworking people.
Li Fen's husband Hong Youliang is hardworking and skilled. He brought his children and wife to the city to study. He did not sit idle at home, but set up a stall on the roadside.
The economy was just beginning to recover in this era, and the money earned by setting up street stalls was quite good.
But most of this money never reaches their pockets and has to be remitted regularly every month to their mother-in-law Chen Honghua who lives far away in their hometown.
Li Fen’s mother-in-law Chen Honghua is a ruthless character.
She became a widow in middle age and raised three children alone. Li Fen’s husband Hong Youliang is the eldest son.
Hong Youliang has an older sister and a younger brother.
But mother-in-law Chen Honghua favors her younger brother-in-law.
When Li Fen took the college entrance examination together with her brother-in-law Hong Youcai, Chen Honghua gossiped about her to others in the village, saying that she was overestimating her abilities.
As a result, she passed the exam, but her brother-in-law Hong Youcai failed.
Chen Honghua was so humiliated that she almost threw Li Fen's admission letter into the stove and burned it.
It was Hong Youliang who discovered it and tried his best to save it.
In order to keep Li Fen's admission letter, Hong Youliang suffered severe burns on one of his arms, leaving a large and ugly scar.
Li Fen felt guilty towards him, so even though she was admitted to university, she never thought about divorcing Hong Youliang.
But in order to study, the couple could only promise to send money home every month.
If a month is late or the remittance is not received, Chen Honghua will rush to the provincial capital from her hometown.
Chen Honghua's arrival was a disaster for Li Fen's family of three.
Xia Keqing was fortunate enough to have seen Chen Honghua once through the original owner's memory.
It was also that time that Chen Honghua started a commotion downstairs of the dormitory building, causing chaos everywhere.
Li Fen had no choice but to talk to her roommate about her family and some household matters.
Otherwise, Xia Keqing wouldn't know these things.
She waved her hand, "Sister Fen, I'll pay for today's clothes."
Li Fen refused without even thinking, "How can this be possible?"
"No merit, no reward. How can I have the nerve to ask for your things for free?"
He Xiaolan immediately said, "That's right, I'll buy it with my own money. Anyway, it's almost the end of the month, and I'll ask my parents for money when I run out of money."
Xia Keqing was helpless. This was truly a carefree little princess.
Zhao Juan said: "They are right. I don't need you to spend money. I have money."
Xia Keqing pretended to be unhappy, "Didn't we agree that you would support me? What? I just gave each of you a set of clothes and you refused? Will you refuse to listen to me when I say something or make any decision in the future?"
The three of them looked at each other, all of them looking embarrassed.
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "I'm not giving you clothes for nothing. I want you to wear the clothes I match and go back to school to walk around and attract more customers for me."
Zhao Juan and Li Fen looked at each other, and He Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up. She glared at Xia Keqing, "You still have more tricks!"
"I see. You just want us to be your living advertisement, don't you?"
Xia Keqing raised the corners of her lips, "Yes, that's what I mean."
"What do you think? Should I pay for this?"
When Xia Keqing said this, her eyes were always on Zhao Juan.
I have to say, Zhao Juan has an amazing figure.
She has a standard model figure, 9 heads tall and very long legs.
It feels like the whole body from the neck down is legs.
With a figure like hers, she would look good even in a sack.
Zhao Juan herself also has some fashion sensibilities. For example, her upper body is light-colored and her lower body is dark-colored. It’s just that due to the simple design of this era, it doesn’t look very fashionable.
Simply put, the clothes are nothing special, but the figure is absolutely amazing.
Among the four, Li Fen is the one who dresses most casually.
But Xia Keqing has a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty.
There is no girl who doesn't love beauty.
Li Fen was wearing a military green shirt and dark blue straight trousers, which was a typical outfit of the previous generation in the 1950s and 1960s. However, the waist of Li Fen's shirt was obviously modified, and the trouser legs were slightly tapered, making it look more fashionable and close-fitting.
From this we can see that Li Fen also has some aesthetic foundation.
Xia Keqing picked out a pair of dark-colored skinny pants and a dark green shirt for her.
Among the four of them, Li Fen has the darkest skin.
And green makes white appear brighter.
As soon as Li Fen put on this outfit, her whole aura changed.
He Xiaolan praised sincerely: "Sister Fen, you should wear it like this from now on, it looks so good!"
Zhao Juan also nodded, "It's really refreshing."
Li Fen felt embarrassed. She touched her clothes and said, "I'd better change them."
She silently took off her clothes, touched them in her hands, frowned and looked hesitant.
Xia Keqing knew Li Fen’s difficulties.
But they were not close friends and some things could not be said directly, so she had to continue picking clothes for her other two roommates.
She picked a shirt dress with a thin belt for He Xiaolan. The belt can effectively raise the waistline visually, highlight her body proportions and lengthen her legs.
Zhao Juan has the best figure, so Xia Keqing picked out a pair of pants for her with an excellent drape, which gave a sense of déjà vu of wide-leg pants in later generations. They followed the rule of tight on the bottom and loose on the top, loose on the bottom and tight on the top. Her top was a relatively close-fitting sweater made of fine wool.
He Xiaolan gestured excitedly, "If we go back to school like this, won't they go crazy?"
"It's over. I think we must get rich! It would be unjust if we don't."
Xia Keqing is also very confident in her aesthetic taste.
There is no shortage of people with a keen sense of fashion and people with extraordinary talents in every era.
Xia Keqing is actually not that kind of person. She has only a vague knowledge of fashion, but she likes to buy clothes and dress herself up, and she has seen a lot.
With the explosion of information in later generations, even if you don’t know how to dress, you will know some dressing rules through observation and exposure.
If you follow the rules practiced by fashion gurus, you can basically not go wrong.
This is the benefit of standing on the shoulders of giants.
She is not stupid. How could she refuse such a good thing?
He Xiaolan asked Xia Keqing curiously, "Keqing, what about you? Can you buy yourself a set too?"
Xia Keqing smiled and nodded, and put on a blue V-neck shirt made of chiffon-like material and a pair of light-colored jeans.
She has fair skin and although she is not tall, her proportions are good.
This outfit makes her look particularly fresh and beautiful, and her legs are straight, slender and graceful.
The three roommates all praised her, especially He Xiaolan, "Tsk! I really envy you, Keqing. What skin care products do you use? How do you keep your skin so fair?"
The original owner had a naturally cold white complexion. Because she had to study, she did less farm work, so her complexion was naturally fair.
Now that I'm away from home to go to university, I'm even more embarrassed.
But people can't be too Versailles. Xia Keqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll teach you some skin care recipes when we get back."
The three roommates all looked a little excited.
They are all young girls, who doesn’t love beauty?
The proprietress, who had been eating melon seeds, could no longer sit still.
