The two sisters chatted too late that night, and when they woke up the next day, their uncle had already gone to the brick factory.
Song Jiajia thought, "My uncle is so busy, how can he have time to teach you? You might as well go directly to the owner of the clothing store to teach you how to put on makeup. She knows how to do it."
Lin Lu also said, "Why don't you listen to Jia Jia and find someone else? Your uncle has only watched someone else paint once and hasn't practiced for so long, so he's not really suitable to be your teacher."
Song Xixi: "Ah, I thought my uncle had learned it specifically."
Lin Lu: "You think too much."
Song Xixi compromised: "That's fine, Auntie, let's go shopping. It's just right for us to buy a couple of sets of clothes. There are many people buying clothes at the market today."
Lin Lu asked first: "When will those kids come?"
I still have to cook and wait for them.
Li Xianglian wasn't home last night and hadn't heard about this yet. She asked, "Child? What child? Which child is coming?"
Ever since the New Year, when those kids rebelled, Li Xianglian is now afraid of children.
Lin Lu: "The students I tutored want to come and play with me."
Li Xianglian knew from hearing this: "They all did well in the exam, didn't they?"
Song Jiajia nodded and said with a smile, "I've received my university admission letter."
They all had hopes of going to college, and after a month of tutoring by Lin Lu, everyone performed exceptionally well.
Damn it.
If one person did well in the exam, it could be attributed to good luck, but if several people did well, everyone would agree that it was Lin Lu's contribution.
Li Xianglian: "Really? Kids these days are really amazing. Come on, let them come early, and I'll cook some delicious dishes for them."
This will be my daughter's living signboard in the future, and Li Xianglian felt excited.
Lin Lu: "Aren't you going to the market today?"
"No, I bought some sticky rice this morning. What else do you need to buy?"
She even thought of setting up a small stall at the intersection to sell fruit.
Song Jiajia: "They may not arrive until noon." We agreed to take the first bus in the morning last night.
Li Xianglian: "Okay, you guys go out for a walk, I'll get ready."
"Thank you for the meal, Grandma Li. We'll bring you something delicious when we get back." Song Xixi coaxed her, adding, "When I learn how to put on makeup, I'll put it on for you too. I guarantee that Grandpa Lin will be completely captivated by it."
The child blurted out whatever came to mind. Li Xianglian laughed and scolded, "What are you saying, little girl? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? Your Grandpa Lin is already half buried in the ground. Why should I show him?"
Song Xixi: "Okay, okay, then we won't show it to him. We'll watch it ourselves."
Song Jiajia: "Didn't Xiaobei say he wanted to go with us last night? Where is he?"
Li Xianglian pointed upstairs and said, "After breakfast, he went back to his room."
Song Xixi curled her lips: "Hey, it's vacation time and you're still reading every day. Aren't you afraid of being seen as a nerd?"
Lin Lu called him and he came down in a few minutes.
He was wearing a white T-shirt and washed blue jeans today. It was simple, and his youthful look was softened by the smell of laundry detergent.
Song Xixi compared herself to Lin Jingbei and wondered how come a grown man like him was whiter than her.
"Jingbei, put on some powder." The hands couldn't help but touch his fair and tender little face.
Lin Jingbei rubbed his face and took several steps back: "Isn't it always like this?"
Song Xixi: "I haven't looked at you carefully before, but now I feel like you are getting whiter and whiter."
Li Xianglian: "Xiaobei takes after her mother, having had fair skin since childhood. I still think boys look better with a darker complexion. If they are too fair, they no longer look like boys, but more like little girls."
Lin Jingbei glared at his grandmother angrily: "Grandma, don't talk nonsense, I am a boy."
Can’t boys be white and girls be black? They are all given by our parents, so why do you care about these things?
Song Xixi stroked her chin, her mind trying to write scary things: "Don't tell me, Jingbei looks better in a little skirt than me. Do you want to try a skirt later, my dear brother."
Lin Jingbei rolled his eyes and wanted to say, "No wonder no one likes you." But when the words came to his lips, he felt that they were too hurtful, so he changed them to, "No wonder... you don't like yourself."
She just doesn't like herself and doesn't accept herself!
Song Xixi: “?”
As the two siblings were arguing, Lin Lu changed his shoes, grabbed a parasol, and asked, "Do you want an umbrella?"
Song Xixi: "Aunt, do you have any extra umbrellas?"
Always bring an umbrella when going out. No wonder my aunt is so white. Song Xixi learned this from a young age.
Lin Lu took one out of the cabinet for her.
Li Xianglian: "I'll make mung bean soup for you guys when you come back."
Lin Lu: "Okay, Mom, do you want to buy anything?"
Li Xianglian: "A bag of soy sauce will be enough."
Nothing else is needed.
——
The streets were hot and crowded, with people setting up stalls everywhere to sell things.
Many stalls also sell clothes, and the prices are cheaper than those in stores, but in terms of style, the ones in stores are better. After all, you get what you pay for.
Most people just buy two pieces from a stall. Summer clothes don’t need to be of very good quality, as long as they look good. For winter, you need to go to the store and buy some good clothes that you can wear for several years.
Song Xixi and Song Jiajia held one umbrella, and Lin Lu and her son held another. They walked around the stall where people were buying clothes, but Song Xixi didn't see anything she liked.
Asked Lin Lu: "Aunt, have you seen anything good?"
To be honest, Lin Lu didn't like it at all. "Let's go to the store and take a look."
Song Xixi suddenly thought that the money she had on her might not be enough to buy one in the store.
Her face suddenly changed. She was the one who called those people out. If she said this now, she would definitely be beaten to death. She decided to go to the store first and talk about it later.
Zhao Lili's store is quite famous here because she has good taste. The wholesale goods are all good-looking styles with reasonable prices. Young girls like to buy clothes from her.
She is good at talking and has cultivated a large number of regular customers.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Her business is getting better and better now, and she has no time to think about anything else. She is busy with the store every day.
Her ex-husband was jealous of how much money she made and came to remarry her, but was scolded and ran away by Zhao Lili.
Lin Lu hadn't come to her shop to buy for a long time, so she exchanged pleasantries as usual: "How's business lately?"
Zhao Lili's eyes curved, "It's okay, it's just to make a living."
Lin Lu introduced them: "These are my two nieces. Please help me find two suitable outfits for them."
Zhao Lili was very happy: "Really? The two little girls are really pretty. Are they still in school?"
Lin Lu and Lin Jingbei sat on one side: "Yes, we are going to college soon."
"Wow, your family is amazing, and the college students are really nice. These are all new goods that have just arrived, and they are selling well. Let's take a look and see if there is anything you like."
Song Xixi twitched her lips a few times, wanting to say no. She had heard from her friends that the clothes in this store were very expensive and she couldn't afford them.
