Chapter 59 Chapter 59
The cloth shop in the department store is not very big. The walls are covered with cloths of different colors and materials. As soon as you enter, you can see a tall glass cabinet filled with more expensive and beautiful cloths. Against the backdrop of the glass cabinet, they look even more glittering.
Jia Yourui was attracted by a piece of sea blue cotton cloth at first sight. It lay quietly in the glass cabinet, exuding a quiet and mysterious beauty.
The salesperson was a woman in her early forties. When she saw Jia Yourui, her eyes lit up.
This girl is pretty!
The salesperson was reluctant to move her eyes away, but was afraid that she would be disgusted if she kept staring at her, so she only pretended to look at her for a few times and then looked away. In fact, she was still secretly glancing at the little beauty with her eyes slanted.
This girl is not only pretty, but also elegant, quiet, and well-behaved, giving people a feeling of age and peace.
Jia Yourui lowered her head and looked at the styles in the counter first. She put her hands on the edge of the counter. Her hands were white, tender, and smooth, without any acne or scars. There were no sun spots on her face, and her skin was flawless. She definitely didn't look like she worked very hard. The salesperson thought, could this be the daughter of a wealthy family? But he had never seen her before.
"Sister, can you take down that piece of cloth so I can see it?" Jia Yourui asked politely, pointing to the glass cabinet.
She looked at many other styles, but in the end she still felt that the fabric she fell in love with at first sight was the most beautiful.
"No problem." The salesperson smiled and said readily.
She looked in the direction of Jia Yourui's finger and asked, "Blue." Then, she picked up a special fork for taking fabrics from high places, pointed to the glass cabinet and asked, "This one?"
Jia Yourui nodded, "Yes, yes."
The salesperson took the cloth with the fork, put it on the counter, and praised her, "This material is good. It's mixed with distilled water and cotton. It's not only comfortable to wear, but also not easy to wrinkle."
She pointed to the details of the cloth and showed it to Jia Yourui, "Look how well the color is dyed, bright and even. It must be a color that can be dyed by machines in clothing factories in the city. There is no lumps at all. It just arrived in the past two days."
Jia Yourui touched the cloth and took a closer look. It was indeed more beautiful.
She couldn't let it go, thinking about buying one for herself and one for her sister. Her sister has fair skin, so this color will definitely look good on her.
"How much is this cloth?" Jia Yourui asked.
"It's a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it." The salesperson smiled and said, "Three yuan and twenty cents a foot."
"So expensive."
Jia Yourui smacked her lips. She made a little calculation in her mind. A set of clothes requires three feet of cloth, which is nine yuan and sixty cents. It can buy nine pounds of eggs. Two sets are almost twenty yuan...
but it's really beautiful.
The little girl's distressed look about the price fell into the salesperson's eyes. She was surprised and muttered to herself that it didn't seem like she was a person who was short of money. It seemed that she was a thrifty girl.
Forget it. After much hesitation, Jia Yourui decided not to buy it. She couldn't afford it.
"Thank you." She smiled politely, holding the fabric with good touch in both hands and returning it to the salesperson, a little embarrassed, she said, "Let me see what else I can find."
"Okay, no problem, take a look." The salesperson carefully took the fabric and took some effort to put it back into the tall glass cabinet.
She looked at the pretty girl, with a delicate and white face, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. She was more patient with Jia Yourui than she was with other customers. She smiled and said to her, "Tell me which style you want to see, and I'll get it for you."
Jia Yourui: "Thank you, sister." She was a little embarrassed at first, but she felt the other party's kindness and couldn't help but address her more intimately.
"Sister, I want to see that piece of osmanthus cloth."
- "Okay, sister will get it for you."
...
Jia Yourui was choosing the cloth, and from time to time she chatted with the saleswoman who liked her very much, and basically the sister asked her questions and she answered them.
"How old are you, girl? Not yet 18, right?"
- "Yeah, 17."
"You are so pretty."
- "Thank you."
"Are you still studying?"
- "No, I stopped studying after graduating from junior high school."
"Oh, so that's it." The saleswoman showed a regretful expression, which was a pity. If a girl had knowledge, she would be able to live a better life in the future, not to mention that she was so pretty, and studying more would definitely be the icing on the cake.
She then asked Jia Yourui: "Where do you live? Are you here alone today? Is there anyone with you?"
After saying this series of questions, the salesperson herself felt that something was wrong and quickly shut up.
It seemed that she was too enthusiastic and should not scare the girl: "Well, I talk a little too much, little sister, don't mind it, it's okay, just listen casually, you don't have to answer."
Jia Yourui was a little frightened by her enthusiasm at first, but she quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Smiling, Jia Yourui answered her questions one by one:
"I live in the countryside, and you may not have heard of my name."
"You didn't come alone."
"With me." Jia Yourui blushed and her voice became smaller: "Husband."
"Ah?" The saleswoman was shocked: "Are you married?"
"Yes."
The little girl in front of her was pretty and lively, and she looked so shy and youthful. She didn't give the feeling of being married at all. She felt a little distressed in her heart, and was also surprised that the little girl was just a girl born in the village.
It's not so bad in the county town. People do get married earlier in the countryside. But the girl is so beautiful, she's no less beautiful than a movie star, but she got married in the village and gave birth to a farmer's child. She couldn't help but feel it was a pity.
But the little beauty didn't look like she had ever suffered. The man she married should treat her well. The salesperson thought so, and the regret in her heart was less.
But the salesperson's sister couldn't help but feel distressed and felt sorry for the girl. Mainly because she liked beautiful things, and Jia Yourui caught her eye.
"Sister, show you this piece of cloth." The salesperson changed the subject, turned around and took off a piece of cloth with a fork. It was a fashionable Dacron material.
"This is the new Dacron. Touch it. It's not easy to wrinkle. It's wide. It looks neat and handsome when worn on the body."
The saleswoman spread the Dacron on Jia Yourui and gestured, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she felt. "You look so good in it. Young girls need to dress up more. You won't look so good in it when you're my age."
Jia Yourui touched the smooth fabric. Although Dacron is not breathable, it is not easy to wrinkle and is resistant to dirt, which is very suitable for her at this time.
"But the price is not too cheap." The saleswoman saw that she was very excited and said carefully, "But it's 20 cents cheaper than the blue fabric you just saw. It's three yuan a foot. Little sister, how about it?"
The saleswoman really wanted Xiaorui to buy the beautiful fabric, not for sales. After all, Dacron is not difficult to sell.
Jia Yourui nodded, hardened her heart, and said, "Sister, cut five feet for me."
"Yeah." The salesperson said happily, "It's enough to make two sets of clothes. It's a little expensive, but you can wear it for a long time, little sister."
Jia Yourui's heart was bleeding, and she nodded in agreement.
The salesperson measured the cloth and cut it for her, and then wrapped it for her. Because she really liked this pretty girl, she couldn't help but give her a small piece of silk cloth and wrapped it in her.
"This is not worth much, little sister, just think of it as a little gift from me, go back and make a handkerchief or a hair ornament."
"Thank you, sister." Jia Yourui said politely.
The salesperson handed the wrapped paper package to Jia Yourui, looked outside and asked, "Why didn't your husband come with you?"
Jia Yourui was also a little confused. Guo Ye said he was going to buy her a bottle of ice soda to cool down, and asked her to come in first and he would come later. Why hasn't he come yet?
"He's outside. Maybe he was delayed by something."
Jia Yourui also looked outside the door and confirmed that there was no one. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
