Chapter 47
Xu Mei had just come back and after dinner, her mother wanted to ask her about her boyfriend.
"Xu Mei, what you said in the letter, that..."
"Xu Mei just got home. She must be very tired from taking the train. Go and rest first."
Just as Xu's mother began to speak, she was interrupted by Xu's father.
"Yes, Mom, it's late today. Tomorrow, when Xu Mei has rested, let her tell us about Yun Province. I have never been out of Beijing since I was a child, and I have never even taken a train."
Mrs. Xu quickly tried to smooth things over, saying that the New Year was coming soon and they should not make things unhappy or else they would have a bad New Year.
"Let's all go and have some rest."
Xu's mother got up first and went back to her room. Others also went back to their rooms one after another. The whole living room seemed particularly empty.
"Xu Di, do you have a partner?"
Lying on the bed, feeling sleepy, Xu Di was stunned by Xu Mei's words.
"No, I just started working and haven't had time for it yet."
In the darkness, Xu Di couldn't see Xu Mei's expression and didn't understand what she wanted to say.
"What kind of partner do you want to find, someone who is good-looking or has a good family background?"
Xu Mei is having trouble sleeping now. Although she has slept in this bed since she was a child, at the moment, she feels uncomfortable all over and can't fall asleep.
"A normal person is fine. What's the point of just being good-looking? He should have his own opinions and not just listen to his parents in everything. He should respect his wife and they should have equal status in the family."
"How can good looks be useless? Can you tolerate a fat, ugly man lying next to you?"
Xu Mei herself is good-looking and thinks she is the best in the Xu family.
In fact, Xu Mei is a little taller than Xu Di, almost 1.68 meters tall.
Big eyes, double eyelids and very long eyelashes. The most important thing is the body shape, a bit like a willow with a slender waist.
Xu Di doesn’t think he is fat, but there is still a gap compared to Xu Mei.
Xu Mei has always been the focus of the crowd since she was a child, and grew up listening to praises.
Therefore, the requirements for the other half are relatively high, and good looks are the top priority.
"You're being a little too serious. The normal people I'm talking about are ordinary people like us.
Normal height, normal weight, and normal facial features are enough.
Aren’t our father, our brother, and our second uncle all ordinary people? ”
Xu Di feels that most of the people around her are ordinary people.
Except for Yang Dabao, he looks a bit wretched.
Xu Di didn't expect that at this time she actually thought of Yang Dabao. He was born a villain and could only serve as a negative example.
"You're right. Our father and brother are normal people."
Xu Mei didn't know what she wanted to express, or Xu Di didn't play by the rules.
In short, the conversation between the two sisters reached a dead end, and no other sound could be heard in the room except the sound of breathing.
Although there was suddenly one more person in the room, Xu Di was a little uncomfortable.
However, compared to having awkward conversations with the unfamiliar Xu Mei, Xu Di felt that sleeping was not that difficult.
As Xu Di thought, he began to feel drowsy. After a while, Xu Mei heard a slight snoring sound coming from the side. Was Xu Di asleep?
In Yunnan Province, there were more than ten people living in one dormitory, and many of them snored.
Xu Mei was actually used to it, but for some reason, at this moment, Xu Di's snoring seemed so clear that it made it impossible for her to fall asleep.
Xu Di slept well that night, but he was unaware of Xu Mei's entanglement.
The biological clock has been formed, and Xu Di can wake up on time without an alarm clock.
Sitting up and stretching, Xu Di found that the bedding on the bed next to him had been neatly folded and Xu Mei had already gotten up.
Xu Di put on his clothes and pushed open the door. Xu Jun from the next room also pushed the door open and came out.
"Morning, second sister."
"Morning, go wash up first, hurry up."
"I know. I'll just wash my face and pee. How long will it take?"
"Xu Jun, are you disgusting? Remember to brush your teeth."
Xu Di really has no way to deal with this kid, he is very naughty.
"Ha ha……"
Even through the toilet door, Xu Di could hear Xu Jun's smug laughter.
"Aunt, beat him up."
Xu Ping'an staggered over, waving his little hands and cheering for his aunt.
"Well, I'll beat him up in a bit. Ping An, why are you up so early?"
Xu Di was quite puzzled because the little guy usually woke up a little later.
"Why don't you talk to your aunt about why you got up so early?"
Mrs. Xu came in from outside, holding an enamel basin in her hand.
"Grandma, I'm hungry."
Xu Ping'an ran away with his short legs, refusing to answer the fucking question.
“Did you draw a map?”
Xu Di asked her sister-in-law in a low voice, afraid that Xu Ping'an would hear.
"You little bastard, you made me wet with your piss."
Mrs. Xu was afraid that her son would cry, so she whispered to Xu Di about his bed-wetting.
Xu Di covered his mouth, wanting to laugh but not being able to do so out loud, and was feeling very suffocated.
A little kid of two or three years old still knows how to save face.
Actually, this matter is also Xu Jun's fault.
Before, whenever Ping An wet the bed, Xu Jun would tease him and say he was a dick, which made Ping An try to cover up the fact whenever he wet the bed.
When Xu's mother in the kitchen saw her eldest grandson coming in, she was confused. It was because her bed-wetting incident had been discovered.
"Mom, leave me a key later. After you go to work, I'll go out for a walk and meet my classmates and friends."
"Okay, let's go out for a walk. I finally come back once, so I'll catch up with my classmates and friends."
Xu's mother left the keys and some food coupons to Xu Mei, but knew that she had money, so she didn't give her any.
Everyone left, and Xu Mei felt a little sad looking at the empty house.
After changing her clothes, Xu Mei wanted to go shopping in the department store. After she arrived in Yunnan Province, she no longer needed thick clothes. The thick clothes she wore when she came back were bought when she was at home. They were three or four years old.
We took a bus to the department store. The things here are much better than those in Yun Province.
Xu Mei went directly to the second floor, where the clothes and fabrics were.
The New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of people in the department store. Whether you want to buy something or not, it doesn’t stop everyone from taking a look.
After finally squeezing in front of the wardrobe counter, the salesperson looked sullen and shouted, "Everyone line up, don't push, or the counter will collapse."
"That coat is so nice, Mom. I want to buy it."
"Mom, I want to buy that red cotton jacket for my wedding after the New Year."
Next to Xu Mei stood a mother and daughter, who were commenting on the clothes hanging behind the counter and discussing which one to buy.
Xu Mei also thought that the wool coat was better and looked more fashionable.
"Comrade, how much is that woolen coat?"
The girl next to her spoke first, and Xu Mei happened to listen to the price.
"Two hundred yuan, and cloth coupons."
When Xu Mei heard the price, she frowned unconsciously. It was too expensive. Her monthly salary was only more than 20 yuan.
"Hey, comrade, do you want to buy it or not? If not, please move aside. Don't you see there are a lot of people waiting behind you?"
The salesperson looked at Xu Mei standing there with a frown on her face for a long time, taking up a seat. Whether she wanted to buy something or not, she should say something.
"Why do you care whether I buy it or not? What's your attitude? Are you just shouting the slogan of serving the people every day for fun?"
"What's wrong with my attitude? If you don't buy and take up space, how can others buy?"
The salesperson was not to be outdone. She had been shouting all day long until her voice became hoarse, but she still kept squeezing herself. Who would feel sorry for her?
"I came here first. Is there anything wrong with me standing here? Buying clothes is not like buying cabbage. You can't just take one and leave. I have to take a look and choose.
There are several people standing here. What right do you have to criticize me alone? Do you think I'm easy to bully? ”
Xu Mei is not a pushover either. From childhood to adulthood, she has rarely lost an argument.
The salesperson originally thought Xu Mei was an easy target as she was dressed normally, but he unexpectedly ran into a tough guy.
"Everyone line up, don't squeeze, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
Unable to convince Xu Mei, the salesperson shouted to the person behind him and avoided looking at Xu Mei.
"With this attitude, and still serving you, it's a joke."
Xu Mei was not in the mood, and she didn't want to spend two hundred yuan to buy a piece of clothing that she would not wear for a few days.
When I returned to Yunnan Province after the New Year, I couldn’t wear a woolen coat.
Leaving the ready-made wardrobe counter, Xu Mei walked towards other counters with little interest.
Otherwise, it would be boring for her to go home alone.
