Chapter 187 Change
Lin Qiu not only discovered the vanity hidden deep in her heart, she also discovered that she actually loves beauty.
She looked at herself in the mirror without makeup, touched her still firm and plump cheeks, and suddenly she had the urge to dress up.
She opened her closet and found that it was almost entirely filled with T-shirts, shirts, jeans, and a few winter tweed coats.
She remembered that when she first came to Pengcheng, she bought herself a dress with her first salary.
But later on, I don’t know when she started to stop wearing skirts and just did whatever was convenient for her.
She sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror without makeup, a little dazed.
Unconsciously, she began to repeat the trajectory of her previous life.
Although the family's living conditions have undergone tremendous changes in this life, Lin Qiu is even more reluctant to spend money on himself.
Her only thought was to save money to buy a house, rent it out, earn rent while waiting for the value of the house to appreciate, then save money again and buy another house, repeating the cycle over and over again. I completely forgot that the original purpose of making money is to make life better for myself and my family.
This reminded her of herself in her past life.
In his previous life, Lin Qiu lived in the village and was busy growing crops and vegetables all day long. He never thought about dressing up, let alone maintaining himself.
Long-term exposure to wind and sun makes the originally fair and delicate skin become rough and dark yellow, the finger joints become thick, and the body shape gradually changes.
Later, when I sent my daughter to college, I saw other children's mothers were fashionable and dignified. When she compared her own shabby appearance to her, she felt deeply ashamed of her daughter.
She thought at the time that if her family was well-off, she would definitely dress elegantly and appropriately.
Who would have thought that just when she thought she had changed her family's fate with the opportunity of rebirth, she suddenly realized that she almost became a slave to money.
Although he made a lot of money, Lin Qiu not only never thought of using the money to improve himself, he even failed to invest in his daughter.
Wang Shan has a high talent for painting, and even Teacher Guo praises her from time to time. He should have taken her to see different places and let her experience the beautiful scenery of the motherland instead of sketching in a few parks over and over again.
Teacher Guo once said that to learn painting, one must see different landscapes, experience different lives, feel different cultures, and finally present one's ideas on paper from one's own perspective. Only with more emotional input can there be more rational output.
But Lin Qiu always wanted to wait until his daughter was a little older, when the family conditions were better, and when he was less busy, before taking her out to see the world.
I don’t know how much time I wasted waiting and how much my daughter’s progress was delayed.
Ultimately, it was because Lin Qiu's vision was not broad enough. He only knew how to work hard to make money, but failed to understand the meaning of making money.
Lin Qiu now finally understands that the meaning of making money is not only to provide himself and his family with a better life, but also to have the confidence to reject all unwanted lives and the ability to explore a bigger world.
She let out a heavy breath and walked straight towards her daughter.
Wang Shan was flipping through a landscape album at her desk, her eyes full of longing.
Lin Qiu felt a little uncomfortable. She forced a smile and said, "Shanshan, let's go shopping with mom. In a few days, I will take you to sketch outside after I have settled things at home."
Wang Shan nodded repeatedly. She was so happy that she had wanted to go and have a look elsewhere for a long time.
"Whenever I have a holiday in the future, Mom will take you to see other places." Lin Qiu promised.
Wang Shan spun around excitedly, but after a while she started to worry about the cost, "That's going to cost a lot of money!"
"Don't worry about money. The monthly income from your family is enough for you to see the world."
Wang Shan looked at her mother's arrogant way of speaking and thought about how she had spent more than 200,000 yuan without blinking an eye when buying a car before. Only then did she realize that her family was not short of money now.
The mother and daughter walked downstairs arm in arm affectionately and drove straight to the mall.
This time, Lin Qiu planned to take his daughter to visit every store in the mall.
I first went to the fourth floor and bought two sets of light and breathable sports suits for my daughter, and then chose a silk skirt for myself under my daughter's surprised gaze.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiu asked, holding up her skirt.
"It's nothing, I just feel it's a little strange." Wang Shan told the truth.
"I wonder why I suddenly chose a skirt?" Lin Qiu smiled and put the skirt in front of herself and compared it. "Does it look good?"
"It's not obvious this way, mom, why don't you go to the fitting room and try it on!" Wang Shan suggested.
Lin Qiu thought so too and selected a few more pairs. He was planning to try them on anyway, so he might as well try a few more.
"How about it?"
Lin Qiu, wearing a light green silk dress, walked out of the fitting room with some discomfort.
"It looks good!" Wang Shan couldn't help but circle around Lin Qiu.
After looking at it for a while, he said, "Mom, you should wear it like this normally. It's so beautiful!"
The shopping guide next to her also praised with a smile.
Lin Qiu stared at the somewhat unfamiliar self in the mirror, and felt a little dazed. When was the last time her skirt flew up? I don’t even remember it myself.
"Mom, try that purple dress again. I think it will look good on you!" Wang Shan gently pushed the dazed Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu finally came back to her senses and continued trying on the skirt.
Wang Shan has good taste. The purple suspender skirt makes Lin Qiu look more sexy.
She crossed her arms awkwardly over her chest, "Isn't that too revealing?"
Wang Shan shook her head. "I think it looks good."
The salesperson opened it and saw Lin Qiu's discomfort, and quickly took out a white shirt, "Ma'am, would you like to put this on?"
Lin Qiu nodded, took the shirt from her hand, put it on the suspenders, and the shopping guide helped to tie a loose knot at the hem of the shirt.
"Wow, this makes your skin look so fair! And it makes you look so gentle." Wang Shan liked the post crazily.
Lin Qiu turned around in front of the mirror and thought it was a good idea, so she simply bought the whole set of clothes together with the skirt.
Lin Qiu was about to change her clothes back, but Wang Shan stopped her and insisted that she go shopping in the mall wearing the clothes.
Seeing his daughter coaxing him in every possible way, Lin Qiu had no choice but to give in to her.
Such a gentle and sweet dress paired with Lin Qiu's sneakers looks weird no matter how you look at it.
So the mother and daughter found a shoe store and tried on a few pairs of high heels. They found that the five-centimeter heels were really a challenge for Lin Qiu, who had worn flat shoes all her life.
Finally, I followed Wang Shan's advice and changed into the pair of beige lambskin three-centimeter high heels I had just bought.
Lin Qiu was wearing unfamiliar high heels, and Wang Shan held her arm as they strolled from the third floor to the first floor.
Just when Lin Qiu was about to go home directly with the shopping bags, he was dragged to a place by Wang Shan.
