Chapter 616: Good Vision
The salesperson smiled and said, "This lady has a very good taste. She is very good at choosing clothes."
The salesperson looked at Qiao Nan with admiration: "You may not know that we Chinese have old-fashioned ideas. We think that wearing white and light-colored clothes is unlucky, just like wearing mourning clothes. Many people don't like it. They are just left there after entering the store and are not easy to sell. I didn't expect that white clothes would look so good when worn. They are so clean."
The salesperson's words did not mean to praise the cleanliness of the dress, but that this white dress made Qiao Nan look very clean when worn on her, as if looking at crystal.
"Thank you." Qiao Nan returned the other two items to the salesperson.
The salesperson was very friendly and attentive when introducing the products. Qiao Nan felt very embarrassed not to buy any clothes, but fortunately she finally found a suitable piece of clothing and didn't have to buy something that was completely unsuitable.
Zhai Sheng took the piece of clothing left in Qiao Nan's hand and said, "Where do you pay for this piece of clothing?"
At least the clothes were sold, not to mention that they were clothes that no one would normally look at. The salesperson smiled brightly: "Wait a moment, I'll give you a receipt first, and then you can go over there to pay."
Zhai Sheng paid the money and carried the bag of clothes for Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan wanted to take it, but Zhai Sheng refused: "This dress is not heavy."
"Because it's not heavy, I can carry it myself." Accustomed to being self-sufficient, Qiao Nan has never asked anyone to help him carry things.
Zhai Sheng didn't care and just said calmly: "You have to get used to it."
Qiao Nan was amused: "Are you sure I have to get used to it?"
Zhai Sheng was stunned for a moment: "At least you can get used to it when I'm here." Yes, he spent much more time in the army than at home, and it was impossible for him to always be by Nan Nan's side and share Nan Nan's burden, but when he was around, Nan Nan could rely on him: "Do you want to look at other clothes? If you only buy one, I won't be able to explain to my mother when I get home."
"Aunt Miao didn't require you to buy a few pieces for me. There's no need to accept a reward without doing anything. What's wrong, Aunt Miao? Why do you have to take me out to buy clothes?" Originally, she should have refused.
But with the earlier example of Zhu Baoguo, Qiao Nan accepted these clothes first.
At first, Qiao Nan helped Zhu Baoguo escape from the hands of gangsters. In this way, the Zhu family repaid Qiao Nan's debt of gratitude.
"No merit? All the future grandchildren of the Zhai family will come out of your belly. You have made great contributions." Knowing Qiao Nan's preferences, Zhai Sheng simply looked after Qiao Nan himself.
Unfortunately, after looking around, he couldn't find many pieces of clothing that matched Qiao Nan's preferences in the entire mall.
"Brother Zhai, take me somewhere." Knowing that Zhai Sheng would not give up and leave after only buying one piece of clothing today, Qiao Nan simply suggested going somewhere.
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get there."
When Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were leaving, they happened to run into someone, but that person saw them, but they didn't see that person.
Qiu Chenxi stayed at home and refused to go out. Qi Minlan wanted to buy some clothes to cheer Qiu Chenxi up, so she had to go and cheer Shi Qing up, and asked Shi Qing how she knew about Feng Wei. But before Qi Minlan bought any clothes, she saw Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan shopping in the mall. More importantly, the bag in Zhai Sheng's hand clearly contained women's clothes.
In addition, the direction they were walking towards was a store that specialized in selling clothes for young girls. Qi Minlan frowned. Zhai Sheng was buying clothes for Qiao Nan. Could it be...
Zhai Sheng drove along the road Qiao Nan pointed out and stopped to look: "Cloth shop?" Could it be that Nan Nan wanted to buy cloth to make her own clothes?
"Well, this store has the most complete range of fabric patterns and colors. They have all the kinds you need, and it's cheaper if you pick a few more pieces. I'd rather pick a piece of fabric and make it myself than buy it in the mall." The 21st century is not like the late 20th century, when a piece of clothing could become so cheap that it wasn't even enough to cover the cost of labor.
At that time, it was still very popular in China to buy cloth and have a craftsman measure your measurements to make clothes.
"Can you do it?" Zhai Sheng found it hard to imagine that Qiao Nan could make clothes.
"Can I?" Qiao Nan smiled bitterly. With her mother around, there were few things she didn't know how to do.
She always wore Qiao Zijin's old clothes. She was thinner than Qiao Zijin, so when Qiao Zijin's old clothes were too big for her, she would just wear them. When they were too big, Qiao Nan would use needle and thread to alter the clothes herself.
There is still a big price difference between buying a piece of cloth and buying a piece of clothing directly, and Ding Jiayi often deducts the price. Occasionally, Qiao Nan wants to wear new clothes, and making them by herself is the most economical.
Therefore, in the 21st century, girls like Qiao Nan who could buy cloth and make their own clothes were rare.
"Brother Zhai, you and I both have a little bit of life skills. If someone praises me, should I thank my mother for being stingy with me?" Qiao Nan asked with a smile on his face.
Zhai Sheng did not answer, but his eyes were filled with uncontrollable heartache.
He and Nan Nan clearly lived in the same compound, so why didn't he discover Nan Nan earlier, fall in love with her, or even protect her? Instead, why did he let Nan Nan suffer for so many years?
Regarding Ding Jiayi's various unreasonable behaviors that were beyond ordinary people's understanding, Zhai Sheng no longer wanted to study this strange creature. He just felt sorry for why Ding Jiayi had to be Qiao Nan's mother.
Qiao Nan cheered up and smiled: "Brother Zhai, buying cloth is much cheaper than buying ready-made clothes. This is a rare opportunity. I have to make up for what I lost. Do you mind if I pick a few more pieces of cloth? I have the intention of putting back all the beautiful cloth inside, right?"
"Buy whatever you want. I drove here and can take it back." Qiao Nan said no, and Zhai Sheng was also prepared to do so.
If it weren't for the fact that none of the clothes in the mall they visited before were what Qiao Nan liked, Zhai Sheng would have directly calculated four new sets of clothes for Qiao Nan every year, and bought Qiao Nan 72 new sets of clothes for 18 years at once.
The cloth was really cheap at that time, so Qiao Nan didn't bother to be polite with Zhai Sheng. She rarely suppressed her desire as a woman to shop, and picked a lot of cloth crazily.
Fortunately, Zhai Sheng came by car, otherwise, they would not be able to take so much cloth back, and would have to ask the boss to deliver it to them.
Looking back at the box of beautiful materials, Qiao Nan sighed comfortably, "Buying, buying, buying is indeed the best way to relieve stress."
But next time she wants to buy something, she will spend her own money.
"Hey, you guys are going to move the cloth shop back home. You bought so much. Qiao Nan, are you going to stop studying and start making clothes and selling them?"
