90s Little Struggle

Chapter 88 Sweater

The Xiao sisters looked at each other, then went straight to the men's clothing counter.

There are all kinds of woolen sweaters on the glass cabinet, and down jackets of various styles are hung on the back, as well as leather jackets, woolen coats and other coats.

Of course, men's coats are mostly black, mainly gray and blue.

The down jackets and woolen coats in the department store are very comfortable to the touch and stylish, but compared to what they are wearing, they are still a little inferior.

And those salespersons also saw that the two young men who accompanied the two young girls were outstanding, so they were willing to receive them with a smile, and took the clothes they pointed out to show them.

Xiao Hong took a gray cashmere coat and gesticulated on Yan Hong's body, but she was still not satisfied: "The style doesn't suit you."

Yan Hong was a little flattered: "You want to buy me clothes?"

Nowadays, when young girls buy clothes for young men, there is another meaning, that is, after getting married, the girlfriend will only buy clothes for her boyfriend if she is satisfied with her boyfriend.

There is also the meaning of euphemistically urging the man to get engaged early.

Yan Hong was busy with his studies and had no time to fall in love when he was in college. Now that he is working, he is not only urged by his family to find a partner.

When his mother gave him the clothes she bought, she said in a disgusted tone: Can you let your girlfriend buy it for you next time?

He couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic: Could it be that she likes me too?
"Yes," Xiao Hong didn't think much about it: "My parents said, you helped our family a lot earlier, and I really don't know what to give, so why don't you just buy you some clothes to show?"

It's a pity that the leather jacket is too expensive, the down jacket is too bulky, and the woolen coat is too old-fashioned, so she doesn't like it.

This is definitely not because of her occupational disease, but because the ones she bought are not suitable, and people don't want to wear them.

In the end, she simply picked up the light gray-green pullover sweater on the counter. It felt good, the style was simple and generous, and it was also thick.

She motioned him to look in the mirror: "Do you think this one is okay? I don't think it's a showy color. If you don't like it, the one with the light gray cross pattern looks good too."

He leaned closer to him and whispered: "My mother gave me 500 yuan to buy your clothes, don't save money for me."

Seeing her smiling and looking at him, Yan Hong looked gentle and smart, which made him almost think that it was his girlfriend choosing clothes for him.

He suppressed the corners of his lips that rose upwards: "It's very good, then I'll be impolite."

Not only was he reluctant to reject the clothes she personally selected for him, but he also knew that if he didn't accept them, they might buy him something else.

If you want to send some common cigarettes and alcohol, it's better to accept the clothes now, so that they can feel at ease.

He could have given her something else anyway.

Xiao Hong saw that he didn't seem to be perfunctory, so she asked the salesperson to pack the sweater, and saw that Xiao Fang also chose a light gray pullover sweater for Xu Xinning.

Xiao Hong couldn't help sighing in her heart, as expected of sisters, even their eyes are so similar.

There are many good things in the department store, and of course the price is not cheap. Two sweaters cost 240 yuan.

She originally wanted to let them choose trousers again, but they didn't want them anymore, and each chose a set of cotton sweaters and some pairs of socks, which cost a total of 300 yuan.

Yan Hong glanced at his watch: "It's almost eleven o'clock, shall we have lunch first?"

There are many restaurants in the city. He asked the salesperson, and they enthusiastically told them there were several restaurants.

In order to save trouble and to be able to visit the shopping mall again as soon as possible, they went to the nearest shopping mall to welcome customers.

Near noon, the entrance of the three-story hotel was covered with a red carpet, and there were two welcome guests in red cheongsams, enough to make ordinary people flinch.

Yanyan stepped on the snow-white tiles a little cautiously. She was very glad that the eldest sister was holding her hand all the way, otherwise she was worried that the soles of her feet would slip.

The young waitress greeted them and sat at a small round table, then handed Yan Hong the menu, holding another menu herself, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"

"Crispy duck, spicy chicken, shredded pork with green pepper." After Yan Hong finished ordering, he handed the menu to Xiao Hong: "You can order a few more dishes. We have enough people to eat."

Xiao Hong took the menu and looked at it. The name of the dish was on the front and the price was on the back.

She glanced at it, and the crispy duck he ordered cost 20 yuan, the spicy chicken cost 15 yuan, and the shredded pork with green pepper cost [-] yuan.

Well, the food in the restaurant cannot be very cheap. After she ordered a meatball and vegetable soup, she gave the menu to Yanyan on the other side of her.

"Second sister, you can order." Yanyan just glanced at it, and obediently passed the menu to the second sister on the other side.

Xiao Fang actually didn't want to bring a la carte, but felt that if she didn't order a dish, she would look petty, so she took a glance at it, ordered a shredded pork with celery, and handed the menu to Xu Xinning.

Xu Xinning is naturally not polite, he also wanted Xiao Fang to eat something good, so he opened his mouth and said, "I want another braised prawn, pan-fried octopus, and old duck soup, and fried fish fillet..."

"Enough!" Xiao Hong couldn't listen anymore, and quickly interrupted him: "There are only five of us, how can we finish eating so many dishes?"

Seeing her talking to her cousin in such a natural tone, Yan Hong frowned slightly, and said to the waiter, "I want these, and bring us five more cans of coconut milk."

The waiter smiled and reported the dishes they ordered again, and after confirming that they were correct: "Okay, please wait a moment."

It was the first time for Yanyan to come back to such a magnificent restaurant, she was so novel in her heart, her eyes rolled around, and she kept looking around curiously.

But she is a child, so it is normal, but she looks clever.

Xu Xinning saw that Xiao Fang was also a little cautious, so he chatted with her through Yanyan: "After shopping in the mall, let's go to the bookstore? The few English books you read earlier were bought in the bookstore in the city. "

He really knew Xiao Fang very well.

Xiao Fang became interested as soon as he heard this, and talked with him about foreign masterpieces.

Xiao Hong admitted that she was not a good student, and she was not interested in those books at all. She glanced at the lobby, where only half of the guests were scattered, and she was a little puzzled: "There are not many guests in this hotel, so it must be Is it too expensive so no guests come?"

She has no doubts that the taste of the dishes is not good.

It is now 1990, and anyone who dares to spend such a large amount of money to open a restaurant must have hired a good chef.

Considering that they cost about 130 yuan for a table of food, which is almost a month's wages for workers, there must not be many customers who are willing to come to eat.

Yan Hong was a little hesitant: "It's not very expensive, is it?"

Xiao Hong smiled teasingly at him: "One meal is almost equivalent to your monthly salary, isn't that expensive? It's a good thing you haven't married yet, otherwise my sister-in-law will definitely not allow you to spend money so lavishly."

Thinking about it makes her sad, she also wants to spend money so lavishly, but her wallet is not strong enough.
