"Hey, Auntie, this is the counter, why don't you see my straw weaving works?" Su Xueli asked curiously.
Auntie looked at Su Xueli with a puzzled expression as she looked at the counter filled with dolls and various ornaments.
Wei Mingshen stepped forward and asked the sales clerk, "Comrade, we saw straw-woven art pieces for sale here last time, why aren't they there anymore?"
The sales clerk said unhappily, "We're sold out a long time ago, and we can't get any more stock. If you want to buy, you'll have to wait."
Then she complained, "This manufacturer is so slow. If they're going to do this business, they can't keep running out of stock..."
The three of them chuckled as they squeezed their way out of the crowd.
As soon as she left, her second aunt sighed, "My dear niece-in-law, look at all the things you knit! They're in such high demand! I told you, it's not just me who likes them. Keep knitting, you can make it a great business someday."
Su Xueli looked at her second aunt and said, "Yes, I will."
Second Aunt looked at Wei Mingshen and said meaningfully, "Cherish it well, because once you lose it, you can never get it back."
Wei Mingshen paused for a moment, then lowered his head.
"Second Aunt, come on, let's pick out some clothes for you." Su Xueli pulled her second aunt upstairs.
Wei Mingshen stared at Su Xueli's retreating figure, lost in thought for a moment, and then followed her.
"Second Aunt, this camel-colored wool coat will definitely look good on you. It suits your temperament, making you look elegant and graceful," Su Xueli said, touching a coat that reached her knees.
The second aunt touched it, her eyes filled with shyness and nervousness, "It looks pretty, but is it suitable for me? This is what city people wear."
Su Xueli took off her old scarf and pushed her behind the curtain to try on clothes. "What city people wear? Whoever buys it can wear it. Go try it on."
Seeing that the second aunt was dressed shabbily, the saleswoman assumed that she wouldn't buy it, so she said with a stern face, "Try it if you want it, otherwise don't try it on."
Su Xueli also put on a stern face, "We'll only take it if it's suitable after trying it out. How will we know if it's suitable or not if we don't try?"
Auntie was scared and pulled Su Xueli away, saying, "Let's go look somewhere else."
Wei Mingshen pushed Su Xueli's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's look elsewhere. I don't think this dress is good enough for Second Aunt."
Su Xueli glanced at the salesperson and said, "Yes, it's obviously not a good product."
Wei Mingshen grinned: This little girl has a sharp tongue.
My second aunt chuckled and said affectionately, "You little rascal, you've left him speechless."
Su Xueli said, "I don't offend others unless they offend me. She was the one who looked down on me first."
The second aunt looked down at herself and said with a self-deprecating smile, "No wonder people look down on me. Looking at my appearance, I don't look like someone who can afford clothes from a department store."
Su Xueli said disdainfully, "She's just too good to be true. My second aunt is much richer than her."
My second aunt's salary increases every year, but she only manages to make a basic living. She also earns some income from the fields, and she saves all the money.
As she spoke, her second aunt stared at a light red, front-opening, waist-cinching jacket.
Su Xueli asked, "Second Aunt, do you like it?"
My second aunt smiled and said, "It looks nice, quite elegant. Isn't the color a bit too bright?"
Su Xueli said, "Second Aunt, this is light red, not bright at all. This color is quite suitable for a mature woman like you."
The second aunt was a little embarrassed. "Look at how well you talk. 'Mature woman,' my second aunt is just an old woman."
Su Xueli disagreed, "Who said my second aunt is old? My second aunt is at the most charming age of a woman. There's a saying that goes, a twenty-year-old woman is like a jasmine flower, fresh and beautiful; a thirty-year-old woman is like a rose, delicate and beautiful; and a forty-year-old woman is like a lily, elegant and fragrant."
