"Sixty-four yuan should be enough to settle down in the city!" Qin Man made a rough estimate based on today's prices.
"That's more than enough. I'll get my first salary at the end of October!" Jiang Cong said.
"So shall we leave tomorrow?"
It is now August 19th, and school will start on September 1st. Jiang Cong needs to report to school on the 30th and 31st.
"Well, we'll leave tomorrow. Pack your luggage and take your documents with you tonight.
By the way, let me take you to buy two sets of clothes! You don’t even have a few decent clothes!”
In his opinion, girls all like to be pretty, so when they go to a big city, he has to buy them some decent clothes!
Qin Man looked down at her clothes. A simple floral shirt and army green nylon pants, she looked like a typical country girl.
As the saying goes, women dress up to please themselves. Jiang Cong also wants to see her more beautiful side, right?
"But, clothes are expensive, why don't we save the money and spend it in the city!"
But then again, she was afraid that she didn't have enough money.
"It won't cost much to buy two sets of clothes. Don't worry, there's enough money!"
Jiang Cong took her hand without saying anything and went to the clothing store in the market.
Inside the market, there are many small shops, covering the entire street. The owners use their sewing machines to make clothes and skirts, and then hang them on the walls to sell.
Newspapers published many posters of popular girls, and they would imitate and make clothes based on those styles. In addition, with the introduction of foreign clothing styles, women of this era gradually developed their own aesthetics and began to design many different clothing styles.
Some clothes will never be out of style even when viewed in later generations.
"Go through all the stores! Buy whatever you like, but it will be autumn soon and the weather will start to get cooler, so buy some autumn items!"
Jiang Cong is very considerate and thinks of everything!
Qin Man nodded and looked at the clothing shops all over the street. The two walked for a distance and looked at the general color system. Qin Man preferred fresh and simple colors, so she entered a store called Sister Li's Clothing Store.
A girl in her thirties, wearing a red long dress with a waist and exposed arms, with short curly hair, a headband tied behind her ears, exaggerated pearl earrings on her ears, and bright red nail polish, was working the sewing machine seriously.
Seeing someone coming into the store, she stood up and greeted them with a smile, her lips as red as fire.
"You can take a look at them yourself. If you find anything you like, tell me and I'll take it down for you to try. Or I can recommend something to you!"
She was leaning against the table, her skirt showing off her perfect figure. Her outfit looked very fashionable and feminine even now.
Qin Man thought that she must have come to the right place. The proprietress knew how to dress, so her clothes couldn't be ugly.
"Do you have any suitable recommendations?" Qin Man chose to ask her for one.
"Of course. Do you want a skirt, pants, or a dress? What colors do you like? You can call me Sister Li!"
"It's up to you. I want to buy the early autumn style!" Qin Man shrugged and said with a smile.
Sister Li raised her eyebrows and looked at the couple who were both very good-looking. They were really pleasing to the eyes!
The woman in front of me was very beautiful. Even though she was wearing ill-fitting clothes, one could still tell that she had a well-proportioned and sexy figure.
"You are very beautiful and have fair skin, so you don't need to choose colors that complement your skin tone. I have a few long-sleeved dresses here. Most people can't wear them, but I think you can! I'll give them to you to try!"
Sister Li is good at talking and she can make Qin Man happy with just a few words.
Sister Li used a clothes rod to take down a light blue long-sleeved dress from the wall. It was calf-length, with a white ruffled collar and a buttoned design from the neckline to the hem, and a waist-hugging design.
"Go in and try it first!"
"Thank you!" Qin Man took the clothes, then went behind the curtain and started changing.
Jiang Cong sat on the stool at the door and waited.
Sister Li then went on to look at several other clothing options.
Soon, Qin Man changed into her skirt. She was about 1.60 meters tall, and she looked elegant in the skirt.
The sleeves are pleated and the cuffs are buttoned, giving her a serene and gentle temperament.
"You are really good at it. Many customers want this skirt, but I only sell the clothes I design to the most suitable people!
Although I am just a little-known sewing machine operator in this small county town, I have character!"
Sister Li is very satisfied with her work, and it looks so good on Qin Man.
The moment Jiang Cong saw Qin Man coming out, he was completely stunned. He had never seen Man Man wearing a skirt before, and it turned out that she looked so beautiful in a skirt!
"Does it look good?" Qin Man walked up to him, turned around and asked for his opinion.
"It looks good!" Jiang Cong nodded.
"You need to change your shoes. These shoes don't match this skirt. Why don't you try my little leather shoes? They'll look better on you!"
Sister Li pulled out a box from under the table and took out the leather shoes.
