Because the house-viewing took some time, when Wei You rushed to school, Guazai was already waiting at the school gate.
It was already past the most crowded time after school, and there was only a small line of people lining up for the school bus at the school gate. Even the small shop had only a few students.
Perhaps because he was worried that he was too small and Wei You couldn't see him, Wei Xu deliberately stood under the tree next to the flower bed where Wei You had squatted before and waited.
Therefore, when Wei You walked over, what he saw was a picture of a little boy enveloped by the shade of a huge magnolia tree, which was quite heartbreaking to see.
"Sorry, kid, I was delayed by something." Wei You explained as soon as he arrived. He did not tell Wei Xu that he was planning to rent the house next door, but planned to give him a surprise after the house was decorated.
Wei Xu shook his head, looking as if he didn't care, but the emotion in his eyes seemed a little aggrieved.
"Are you alone?" Wei You took the schoolbag off his shoulder and glanced around: "Where is that classmate from last time? What's his name, Du Shao?"
Wei Xu: "I let him go first."
"Okay, let's go home." Wei You moved the schoolbag to his left hand, and habitually put his right hand on Wei Xu's shoulder, holding him and walking towards the street outside.
Seeing that the child was a little unhappy, Wei You deliberately provoked his mood and asked, "Do you have a lot of homework today?"
Wei Xu shook his head.
"Is there any homework you need my help with?"
Wei Xu still shook his head, paused as if remembering something, and added: "The teacher said that starting today, we have to write a diary every day, and parents are asked to supervise us."
"Writing a diary is good. It can help you improve your writing skills."
Wei You recalled that he had written a diary for a period of time when he was a child. At that time, his parents bought him a code book. He thought that the code book could be kept absolutely confidential, so he wrote down his test scores, daily complaints, and even the narcissistic feelings of a female classmate from the next class who sent him a love letter.
It was not until one day when he saw his mother secretly reading his diary that he realized that the code book did not require a password and could be opened by brute force.
He hasn't kept a diary since then.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and asked, "Do you need me to buy you a diary, the kind that requires a password to open?"
Wei Xu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said softly, "Just use that leather-covered notebook."
Wei You sighed and pinched the boy's chubby cheeks: "You idiot really know how to save money for your brother."
After being pinched by him, Wei Xu's mood actually improved.
After Wei You withdrew his hand, he tried pinching his own cheek. It felt really good, soft and fluffy.
Walking on the crowded streets, passers-by are students going home in groups of two or three, from elementary school to high school.
Every time Wei You saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that this town is not big, but there are really quite a few schools.
Seeing that it was still early, Wei You did not take Wei Xu home immediately. Instead, they strolled for a while along Jingping Street, which had the most shops and was the busiest in the town. By the way, he also wanted to take this opportunity to buy some clothes for Guazi.
The two of them, each holding a can of oranges bought from a cold drink shop, went to two children's clothing stores in succession, but they didn't find any satisfactory clothes.
In fact, the main reason was that Wei You didn't like any style, and since Wei Xu knew that he was going to buy clothes for himself, he turned into a silent wooden man. No matter what clothes Wei You compared to him, he remained silent.
Wei You took his reaction as dislike, and since he didn't like these rigidly designed clothes either, he took Wei Xu to the next store.
"I remember there was a children's clothing store next to the supermarket. I've taken a few glances there before. The clothes there were colorful and seemed quite rich." Wei You said based on his memory.
Hearing this, Wei Xu frowned slightly.
He vaguely remembered that the children's clothing store next to the supermarket only sold girls' clothes.
Although it was strange, seeing Wei You's excited look, he didn't say anything to spoil his fun.
Wei You really didn't know that it was a girls' clothing store until he walked in and saw the little skirts hanging on the wall.
The female owner of the shop stood up when she saw a customer coming, put on a smile and greeted, "Are you buying clothes for your children?"
"Uh... yes." Wei You felt a little embarrassed. He was about to say that he had taken the wrong path, but he looked up and caught a glimpse of a sweatshirt hanging on the wall next to the door, and suddenly stopped.
He squatted down, pointed at the sweatshirt to Wei Xu, and asked, "What do you think of that one? Do you like it?"
Wei Xu looked in the direction he pointed and saw a cream-colored hooded sweatshirt. The sweatshirt was clean and had no patterns at all. The only special thing about it were the two light purple rabbit ears hanging from the hood.
It's obviously a girl's dress.
Wei Xu didn't really want to wear such clothes, but since Wei You specifically pointed them out to him, it meant that he quite liked them.
In order to satisfy his brother's aesthetic taste, Wei Xu nodded reluctantly, indicating that it was okay.
Wei You immediately stood up and asked the boss: "Can I take that dress off and try it on?"
"Will he try?" The boss was a little surprised. Although Wei Xu was handsome, it was obvious that he was a boy.
“This is for women.”
"I know, it's a men's style when worn by a boy." Wei You said casually.
He didn't know where his intuition came from, but when he saw the dress for the first time, he felt that it suited Wei Xu very well, so he smiled at the boss and said, "Boys can also wear cute clothes, right?"
"Of course you can." A business owner would not turn away a customer. The boss immediately took down the hooded sweatshirt with the clothes rail and handed it to Wei You. He pointed to the area in the corner with curtains drawn and said, "There is a fitting room inside. You can go try on some clothes."
Wei You nodded, and on the way to the fitting room with Wei Xu, he took a fancy to a blue sweater with pink cat paws on the chest and a simple striped T-shirt, so he took both pieces of clothing in.
After entering the fitting room, Wei Xu consciously took off his school uniform jacket, wearing the T-shirt with a large collar underneath.
"Take off your inner clothes too. Let's try this short-sleeved shirt first."
Wei Xu hesitated for a moment and took off his clothes.
He didn't know if it was because he was shy or because of the heat from his clothes brushing against his ears, but his ears, cheeks and neck were all flushed. It wasn't until Wei You put the striped T-shirt on him that the heat on his face gradually faded away.
"Okay, let's go out and take a look."
"Um."
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and the same goes for children. When the boy with excellent physical fitness put on this clothes with refreshing colors, his temperament immediately improved to a higher level, and he looked like a young master raised by a wealthy family.
Wei Xu didn't feel much when he looked at himself in the mirror. He just felt that the clothes on his body were clean and comfortable, with a unique smell of new clothes.
"My taste is pretty good!" Wei You sighed to himself, and then handed him the rabbit ear sweatshirt in his hand, "Try this one, you go by yourself, I won't go in."
Wei Xu took the clothes and walked into the fitting room. He glanced at the long ears hanging from the hood of the sweatshirt, let out a light breath, resignedly unfolded the sweatshirt and put it on.
After a while, the boy walked out of the fitting room and fell silent as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a hat and had two purple furry ears hanging on his head.
"Okay." He reminded.
Wei You was negotiating the price with the boss when he turned around and saw his outfit. He couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow" in surprise.
Wei Xu pursed his lips nervously, and clasped his hands tightly together in the front pockets of his sweatshirt.
"So cute!" Wei You exclaimed.
Wei Xu lowered his head and his ears turned red again.
Wei You half-knelt down, adjusted the hat of his clothes, and then smiled at the child in the mirror: "My intuition is right, this clothes really suits you, and the size is also suitable. If you change into a pair of pants, it will be perfect. How about it, do you like it?"
Wei Xu uttered a soft "hmm".
"Then buy both of them, and then try on this sweater," Wei You took out the blue sweater with pink cat paws, "You can't wear it now, but you can wear it in a few days when it gets a little colder."
After being praised repeatedly by Wei You, Guazai felt like he was soaked in warm water. His mind was confused and he took the sweater into the changing room without thinking.
When he came out wearing the sweater, Wei You felt his eyes brighten again.
This is clearly a sweater with a purely cute style, but Wei Xu manages to make it look cool and delicate, which instantly makes the sweater look much more expensive.
This time even the boss couldn't help but praise her: "Your child has really good skin. Many girls who have tried this dress have their faces darkened. Only your child looks good in it. You really need fair skin to hold up this dress."
Wei You nodded repeatedly in agreement with his boss's flattery. He deeply felt that his own son was a natural clothes hanger who could wear any clothes with a unique temperament.
While buying clothes for Wei Xu, he rarely experienced the fun of the dress-up game that he used to disdain.
Afterwards, he picked out a few more pieces of clothing in the store for Guazai to try on, and finally selected the five pieces that looked best on him and decided to buy them.
The children's clothing in this store is slightly more expensive than that in other stores because of their novel styles. The five pieces of clothing cost a total of four hundred and eighty yuan, but Wei You managed to negotiate the price down to three hundred and fifty yuan, and even asked the boss to give him a pair of socks.
You can buy clothes at girls' clothing stores, but not pants.
Worried that they would not be able to get back in time for dinner if they continued shopping, Wei You had to take Wei Xu back to a children's clothing store they had visited before and bought them a pair of ordinary sports trousers and a pair of sneakers for Guazai. This cost him another 160 yuan, and his wallet, which had been quite spacious before, suddenly became a little tight.
After returning home, Wei You asked Wei Xu to go back to the room to see the new stationery, schoolbag and other gifts he had bought before. He went to the kitchen under the pretext of cooking, closed the door and counted the money.
If you don't count it, you wouldn't know that he brought in a total of 710 yuan in cash. After today's expenses on clothes, stationery and vegetables, he was only left with 81.5 yuan.
And based on his estimation of the battery level of his mobile phone, he would have to live here for at least three or four more days.
Wei You took a deep breath and carefully put the banknotes and the fifty-cent coin into his wallet.
Looks like I'll have to save some money over the next few days.
The next day was another day of waking up early.
Wei You struggled to wake up at the 6:20 alarm clock. When he sat up, he saw Wei Xu touching his clothes with his eyes closed again.
He was still wearing the little dinosaur pajamas he had put on after taking a shower last night. Wei You had to stop him from moving, first taking off the dinosaur pajamas, and then taking out the T-shirt that was on the bedside.
Just as he was about to put clothes on him, Wei You stopped abruptly when he noticed a rustling sound beside his ears.
He covered Wei Xu with the quilt, then climbed out of bed and opened the curtains.
As expected, the sky outside was gloomy and a light rain was falling.
Through the misty glass, I could seem to feel the slightly cool air from outside coming in through the window gaps.
"It's a bit cold today, you have to wear long sleeves."
Wei You said as he took out the rabbit ear sweatshirt he bought yesterday from the closet, turned around and asked Wei Xu: "Is it okay for me to wear this to school today?"
Wei Xu rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he saw the clothes in his hands, his mind suddenly became clear.
"Wear it under your school uniform and take out your hat. It should be quite cute." Wei You smiled.
Wei Xu clutched the bed sheet under the quilt. After a fierce struggle in his heart, he finally nodded under Wei You's smiling gaze.
