Chapter 173 An unexpected person
Early the next morning, Zhang Shulan came to play with Li Wenxi, and Li Wenxi took Zhang Shulan to his room to talk.
Zhang Shulan saw that Li Wenxi's cotton shirt had exposed her wrists, so she said, "You see, none of your clothes fit you. Tomorrow my mom will take me to Ningcheng to buy clothes. You should come with us and let my mom help you choose. My mom has a very good eye for choosing clothes."
"Okay. Then let your aunt help me choose."
In the evening, Li Wenxi and Li Hongbin said that they would go to Ningcheng with Zhang Shulan and her daughter to buy clothes tomorrow. Li Hongbin agreed immediately and gave Li Wenxi money, "By the way, buy a few more spring clothes. You can't wear too bad clothes when you go abroad."
Li Wenxi didn't ask for the money, "Dad, I haven't used up the money you gave me when I went to Beijing."
"Just keep it, Dad gave it to you."
Li Wenxi had no choice but to accept it.
Qin Lan on the side opened her mouth to say something but finally closed it.
The next day, after finishing her breakfast, Li Wenxi went to Shi's house to find Zhang Shulan. Zhang Shulan was squatting in front of Zhang's mother, letting her help her braid her hair. The braid started from the forehead and was tied with red silk at the end, making her look pretty.
"Xiaoxi, do you want me to braid you the same braid as Lanlan's? That way, you two will look like a pair of sisters when you go out." Zhang's mother smiled when she saw Li Wenxi coming.
Li Wenxi was also a little tempted, and with Zhang Shulan's instigation, Li Wenxi asked Zhang's mother to braid her hair again.
She squatted in front of Zhang's mother, her hair was gently combed by a pair of hands. This strange and beautiful feeling made Li Wenxi feel a little unreal.
After the braids were done, Zhang's mother looked at the two girls standing in front of her, feeling very happy.
The three of them went to Ningcheng Department Store to buy clothes, chatting and laughing.
Zhang's mother picked out a long beige down jacket for Li Wenxi, which was very effective in keeping out the cold. It was light and not bulky, very practical, and the color was also classic and would never go out of style. Zhang Shulan also bought one. She also
picked out a red pullover sweater, a light-colored windbreaker for spring, two cardigans, and a pair of fashionable Martin boots for Li Wenxi.
When Li Wenxi tried on the windbreaker and Martin boots, she looked like a different person.
Mother Zhang clapped her hands and smiled, "I think you look better with this outfit than the models in the magazines. When you go abroad in March, wear this outfit, and we won't look out of date."
The waiter next to her also smiled and said, "This pair of Martin boots is a new model that was recently introduced. I didn't expect it to look so good with a windbreaker. I will recommend it to others next time."
Mother Zhang was very happy to hear this. This was a recognition of her own vision.
Li Wenxi found that Mother Zhang's vision was indeed very good. The clothes she chose were completely different from the clothes she usually wore. They were like the clothes worn by people on TV, especially good-looking and fashionable.
It turned out that Mother Zhang often looked at magazines to match clothes. No wonder Zhang Shulan's clothes were always much better looking than others.
Moreover, buying clothes with her is not like buying blindly with Qin Lan. She knows what clothes are suitable for Zhang Shulan and Li Wenxi, and how to match them well, so she is targeted and bought everything in just half a day.
Mother Zhang took the two of them to a western restaurant for dinner, saying that if Li Wenxi went abroad, she might have to eat with a knife and fork, so she could adapt in advance.
Li Wenxi felt that going shopping with Mother Zhang was very happy and relaxing.
But when she came home with several large bags in her hands and saw someone coming down from the second floor, the corners of her upturned mouth suddenly fell down.
Li Wenting saw Li Wenxi in front of her, and her expression was also complicated. She didn't expect that after more than a year, Li Wenxi had become taller and whiter, and her figure was as slender and upright as the girls dancing in their art troupe, but her face was more beautiful than theirs. She has become like Li Wenxi who just came to the island a few years ago, like a bumpkin.
That's right, how can she become good-looking if she eats sand in the northwest every day. It would be strange if she doesn't become a bumpkin.
Why should Li Wenxi enjoy the good life here, while she has to eat sand in the northwest? This time, she will never leave here again.
"Li Wenting, why are you here?" Li Wenhua walked in with a basketball in his hand. When he saw Li Wenting, his brows were tightly wrinkled.
"That's your elder sister, how can you talk like that?" Qin Lan came out of the kitchen with a big bowl of shredded pork noodles and called Li Wenting: "Tingting, come and eat noodles. You must not have eaten well after sitting on the train for several days and nights."
"When she left, she said she hated us. Why did she come back? Shouldn't a person with a backbone not come back?" Li Wenhua said bluntly.
Li Wenting pursed her lips tightly. She also regretted why she was so stupid at that time. After going out, she saw clearly that if she was not Li Hongbin's daughter, she was nothing. So she must be the daughter of the Li family.
After thinking for a while, she said, "I was in a bad mood and said the wrong thing. I have always missed my parents in the northwest."
Qin Lan almost burst into tears after saying this. For more than a year, she always thought that she had raised a daughter in vain and suffered a lot. Now it seems that she was wrong.
She put the bowl on the table and hugged Li Wenting and cried bitterly.
Li Wenting thought about her various unsatisfactory experiences in the northwest, and also cried bitterly while hugging Qin Lan.
Li Wenhua and Li Wenxi on the side looked at each other, walked away from them, and went upstairs.
After entering Li Wenxi's room and closing the door, Li Wenhua said, "Something is going on at home again. Isn't Li Wenting serving in the army? Why did she come back suddenly? Did she ask for a leave to visit her family?"
"It looks like she is not serving in the army like He Fang." Li Wenxi said.
"I have several classmates whose sisters dreamed of joining the art troupe, but they just wasted their chance."
"Don't worry about her. Your mother is here, so you can't interfere. We just need to study hard."
In the evening, Li Hongbin came back and was not surprised to see Li Wenting. He didn't ask anything, but just stared at Li Wenting coldly. Li Wenting was worried.
Qin Lan couldn't stand it and pushed Li Hongbin's arm, "Tingting finally came back, why are you like this? Look, you scared the child."
"Finally came back? Ask her why she came back? She was expelled." Li Hongbin slammed his hand on the table.
Li Wenxi and Li Wenhua were shocked by Li Hongbin's anger and words, not to mention Li Wenting, who jumped up.
"Li Wenting, although you are not our biological child, you also grew up in a military compound. You should know the duties of a soldier better than anyone else. How could you do such a thing as leaving the team without permission?" Li Hongbin yelled at this. He had just received this call today, and his anger was imaginable. He did not expect to see Li Wenting at home.
