After she finished speaking, she was surprised to see Xu Sui, and said, "The little girl is really good-looking! This skirt can really be worn by ordinary people. The brighter the color, the harder it is to wear it with temperament. But if you talk about this girl's looks, she will definitely look good in anything."
She had been a salesperson for several years, so she could tell what kind of clothes were suitable for what kind of people. But the girl in front of her was just a clothes hanger, and she was always good at dressing.
The salesperson couldn't help but ask, "Are you from the literary group?"
“It’s just the countryside.” Xu Mian waved his hands.
It is true that the price of the skirt is very cheap, and the cotton may be a little painful, but she is willing to spend it on her family.
If Xu Sui insisted, she would have paid.
Xu Sui knew that it was indeed polyester and that it was just introduced into China at that time. Such a bright skirt cost two yuan.
Firstly, it was too much in line with her aesthetic taste, and the style and pattern were a bit rustic; secondly, it was unnecessary to spend several times the money to buy a piece of synthetic fiber clothing.
Xu Sui said: "Sister, I was just thinking about saving money or something. I really like this skirt, and I don't like the others."
"With this money, I can buy some more cloth to make you a piece of clothing. That would be nice."
Xu Mian turned around and saw that she looked serious, then sighed, "Sui Sui, you are just too sensible."
She went to the fabric counter and decided to buy more fabrics to make more dresses.
She also forgot to comfort her: "Sui Sui, you don't have to feel uneasy. I am your family. Even if I am married now, we are still a family. I spend money on you because I like to spend money on you. Even if other people in the family come, I will do the same."
"I should have half of the money your brother-in-law made. What I'm giving you now is my half. This is my way of showing my appreciation to you as a sister."
"Besides, you have just graduated and you don't have a job opportunity yet. I believe you will forget about my elder sister once you have your own financial resources."
Xu Mian laughed as he spoke.
She had long hair, just the length to tie it up, thick eyebrows, fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, and a few small brown spots on her face.
But just looking at it makes me feel comfortable.
Xu Sui felt the warmth coming from her hands.
This is home.
In the end, Xu Sui picked out three pieces of cloth: one was a thin cotton cloth with a light apricot base and a light blue print, one was a dark blue ramie fabric with a dark pattern print, and the other was a solid pine green fabric.
Xu Mian felt that the meal was very satisfying and wanted to ask her sister to buy some vanishing cream or something, but Xu Sui stopped her again.
Xu Sui raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Sister, do you think I need this kind of thing now?"
Xu Mian just felt that having a child from her own sister really saved money.
In the end, Xu Sui paid for two identical red headbands for Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan.
"Sister, you can't compete with me for Fu. This is my appreciation for my niece." Xu Sui smiled cunningly.
Xu Mian helplessly tapped her head, "You are so stupid!"
Xu Sui, however, felt that she was very lucky.
Although he didn't buy anything else, Xu Mian still visited all the supply and marketing cooperatives.
She said frankly, "Some things are better to buy now and have a look."
It's not easy to come here, so I always want to see what new things there are.
Only after they had seen enough did they return to their family compound.
Xu Mian first took her to a familiar tailor shop.
Xu Sui explained clearly the style she wanted.
She planned to use the light blue printed cotton fabric to make a neo-Chinese style double-breasted, split-sleeve blouse, with old wooden buttons and hand-made buckles for the buttons. She planned to use the dark blue dark-patterned printed ramie fabric to make a skirt, and the pine green fabric to make a cheongsam.
껩I bought two sets of clothes.
But all in all it only took 300,000 yuan.
The tailor was an old lady with neatly combed hair just below her chin and wearing a pair of thin-framed glasses.
She carefully measured Xu Sui's size and said, "Come and get it in three days."
Xu Sui paid the fees, which added up to 10 cents.
When they got home, Xu Bing was playing with his daughters in the yard. When he saw them coming back, he immediately stood up and said, "Are you tired? Go wash your hands and eat first."
He had already prepared the dishes and all that was left was to fry them.
Hearing the sound of spatulas coming from the kitchen, Xu Sui winked at Xu Mian, "Brother-in-law is really virtuous."
Xu Mian chuckled, "It's like cooking, go wash your hands quickly."
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were very happy to see their mother and beautiful aunt come back, and they had a lot to say.
From the time they came back until the time they finished their meal, the two sisters never stopped talking.
Xu Mian complained, "You don't know who they are like. Your brother-in-law and I are both talkative."
Xu Mian wrote a letter to her family to complain about this, and she felt that the quarrel was too serious.
Xu Sui remembered what Zhang Yunxiu said after hearing the letter, and laughed: "Mom said that they are the same as you when you were a child, always talking about a lot of weird things all day long."
Xu Mian was determined and believed.
Xu Sui still mentioned, "Sister, if you have time, go get a check-up with your brother-in-law. I think some people will have regular check-ups so that any problems can be discovered early."
"Your sister and brother-in-law are in good health!" Xu Mian didn't take it seriously, "Why spend that money?"
Seeing that Xu Sui was not moved, she quietly went to boil another pot of spiritual spring water.
No matter what disease you have, drinking it for a long time will definitely cure it.
When she went to fetch bath water again, she fetched a bucket for Xu Mian and added a small amount of spiritual spring water into it.
If this is good for your appearance, it's better if the change is too obvious.
After dinner, when it was still daylight, someone knocked on the door with a basket of eggplants.
"This is Mrs. Wang, the wife of Captain Sun. She lives in the small courtyard next door." Xu Mian introduced.
Mrs. Wang was about four years old, with a round face and a cheerful appearance. "Xiao Xu, this must be your sister! It's spread all over our compound that a beautiful girl has come to your house! I came to take a look and bring some eggplants to your family."
Xu Mian had a good relationship with her, so she said bluntly, "Well, I don't grow this! I'll get you some tomatoes later."
Mrs. Wang held Xu Sui's hand and said, "The little girl is really pretty. She looks older than me."
"Sister Wang, I'm nine years old this year." Xu Sui smiled, "You look cheerful and cheerful, and you're the best friend. No wonder my sister mentioned you several times."
Although she is about two years older than Sister Wang, she follows her elder sister and calls her Sister-in-law.
After a few brief conversations, Mrs. Wang fell in love with the girl.
