"Didn't we refuse their old clothes? Why are you still unhappy?"
Song Jiao bit her lip: "Even so, when I went to school on Monday, Sun Hui still told people that I didn't have money to buy new clothes, and that I wouldn't accept her offer to give me any."
"Then just say it's because she looks down on you and gave you old clothes that you can't wear anymore. Let's see who's embarrassed."
Song Jiao was not comforted by these words. She only wanted new clothes and a better life than Sun Hui.
Song Xia advised again: "When you grow up and have your own ability, you can have as many new clothes as you want. Childhood experiences do not mean anything. Look at those celebrities, didn't they all have debts when they were young? Now, sponsors give them more clothes than they can wear."
After hearing this, Song Jiao's resolve strengthened. She was determined to have an endless supply of new clothes and shoes when she grew up, and becoming a star seemed like a really good option.
She touched her face; more than one person had told her she was getting better looking, and it seemed like she could really develop in that direction.
Seeing that she seemed to be deep in thought, Song Xia reminded her, "If you really want to be a star in the future, then you need to pay attention to your words and actions from now on. Many stars have lost popularity because of their scandals before their debut."
After hearing this, Song Jiao thought even more deeply. She not only had to be careful about her words and actions, but it would also be best to record all the meaningful things in her daily life. This way, when she became a star, she would have more topics to be mentioned by the media and be liked by fans.
"Sister, I know what to do! I will definitely become a big star! I will make sure that Sun Hui won't even have the chance to pick up my old clothes."
Song Xia raised an eyebrow. Maybe that day really will come. After all, celebrities' clothes and bags are all brand-name products, and they've hardly worn them or haven't worn them at all. How could ordinary people not want them? Even if they don't wear them themselves, they can still make a considerable amount of money by selling them.
"Then I wish you all your dreams come true." She paused for a moment, "But even though we need to be careful with our money now, we're not going to give up on buying any new clothes. We'll go shopping together on New Year's Day."
Hearing this, Song Jiao became even more excited and grabbed Song Xia's hand, saying coquettishly, "Sister, you're so kind."
Song Xia was somewhat dazed. It seemed that Song Jiao had never acted like this in her previous life. Indeed, constant pampering would only make people take it for granted. Being strict usually but occasionally indulgent would make people feel grateful.
Therefore, Song Jiao and Song Jun's selfishness in their previous life was not entirely due to their inherent nature, but also partly due to her spoiling them.
"There's soup simmering in the pot. If you're hungry, just scoop a bowl for yourself and drink it. We'll cook some more dishes when Song Jun comes back."
"good."
Song Xia continued doing her homework. These past two days, she felt much more at ease doing practice tests, and she felt like she was back in her younger days.
In another monthly exam, she performed normally in Chinese and English, but improved by at least twenty minutes in each of her other subjects, such as math. Seeing this, her homeroom teacher finally felt relieved.
"Song Xia, you're amazing! Your grades have improved so much in just one month, how did you do it?" Her deskmate was very surprised and happy for her.
"Because I don't go to bed until midnight every day," Song Xia said with a wry smile. "Since I can't study with you guys at school, I can only do more practice problems at home."
Her deskmate looked at her collection of wrong answers and was genuinely impressed, knowing that she definitely wouldn't be able to stick to studying alone at home.
"Besides, I was already in this score range before; this is just me returning to my previous level."
"That's true, but you've made such great progress, and every teacher praises you. It makes us feel quite threatened!"
"Let's cheer each other on!"
Seemingly spurred on by Song Xia, the students became increasingly focused on their studies after that day, and many began asking her about her study methods and how to solve problems.
Song Xia never refuses anyone because everyone has shown her kindness; they are all wonderful people, and it's best if everyone progresses together.
So the classmates watched helplessly as Song Xia's scores got higher and higher, and then they became more and more anxious.
On New Year's Day, Song Xia decided to take a day off. After receiving unanimous approval from Song Jun and Song Jiao, she took out some money and prepared to buy clothes for the three of them and then have a nice meal outside.
The shopping mall was very lively on New Year's Day, with a festive atmosphere everywhere and shops displaying discount signs.
On this rare shopping trip, she didn't go to the discount store. Although she didn't care, Song Jun and Song Jiao were at the age where classmates would compare themselves to each other, and she didn't want them to be told that it was rare for them to wear new clothes, especially out-of-season ones.
"Let's make it clear first, the price of an outfit, including shoes, cannot exceed six hundred. Our total budget for today is only two thousand, and we still need to eat later."
Song Jun and Song Jiao both nodded. Song Jiao thought that she could buy cheaper pants and shoes, but the coat had to be expensive. Song Jun, on the other hand, was completely different. He didn't care about the coat and pants, but he cared about the price of the shoes.
The three of them first went to a store that suited Song Xia. She had only one principle when buying clothes: they had to be durable and comfortable. She didn't care about the brand. So as long as the price was right and the clothes were comfortable, she would buy them very quickly.
She bought a black cotton coat for 300 yuan, and the rest of the clothes, pants and shoes, cost just over 100 yuan each. She had several tens of yuan left over from the 600 yuan, which she used for her later meals.
Next, they arrived at the floor where Song Jun and Song Jiao had purchased their clothes and shoes. Compared to each other, their clothes and shoes were actually cheaper. Song Jiao hesitated and couldn't make a decision for a long time, while Song Jun was very quick and bought the shoes he liked. As for the clothes and pants, he listened to Song Xia's opinion.
One of the stores had a really good discount on pants. Since boys usually only have the same styles every year, Song Xia picked out a discounted pair for him and bought him two for the price of a single new pair.
Finally, it was Song Jiao's turn. Song Jun was getting a little impatient with shopping, but she still hadn't made a decision. The main reason was that her favorite coat cost over four hundred yuan, and with that, the remaining money could only be used to buy pants or shoes, not a complete outfit. She wanted to wear a new set.
Song Xia sighed: "How about this, we'll buy that shirt that costs over 400, and the pants and shoes too. Any extra budget will be paid out of my extra budget. When we eat later, we'll order one less dish."
Song Jiao was overjoyed to hear this: "Thank you, sister!"
"I bet you won't be able to sleep well all year if you don't buy this one, Xiaojun, you don't mind, do you?"
Song Jun snorted but didn't say anything.
On New Year's Day, many businesses offered group-buying packages. To Song Xia's surprise, the two of them didn't make any requests, but instead said that they would decide according to her preferences.
Song Xia paused for a moment, but did not refuse. She then purchased a set meal she liked through group buying, which cost just over a hundred yuan.
