Chapter 20 Ma Xiaomei is here
Just when Zhao Shucheng had just passed a few comfortable days, Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi came back.
This time, not only did the two of them come back, but also brought one more person back, that is, Ma Xiaomei, the daughter of Cao Hanzhi's old comrade-in-arms.
In fact, Cao Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaomei met when they were young, but because Cao Xiaoqiang was ten years older than Ma Xiaomei, he always treated Ma Xiaomei as his little sister. At that time, the old people like Cao Hanzhi looked at the two children, like golden boys and jade girls, so they joked that they would be married to a baby.
However, later when Ma Xiaomei's father recovered and returned to his hometown, the two families had less contact. Perhaps if Ma Xiaomei had not been to go to the capital to make a living this time, Cao Hanzhi and Li Wenqin would not have thought of what happened back then.
The daughter of this old comrade-in-arms came, so they naturally had to entertain warmly. Originally, the three of them took the train to Beijing, hoping that Zhao Shucheng would go to the station to pick them up, but Zhao Shucheng said that there were still some things in his company, so the old couple could only take Ma Xiaomei home directly.
On the way back, although Ma Xiaomei's clothes were simple and did not meet the current trend in Beijing, her soft voice still made Cao Hanzhi and Li Wenqin like it. However, because Zhao Shucheng is now in love with Wu Xiaoliu, they just treat it as guests coming to Beijing.
After Ma Xiaomei followed her to Cao's family, she was very diligent. She put down her luggage and started to go to the kitchen to get busy and cook a table of good dishes.
This made Cao Hanzhi very satisfied, thinking that although Ma Xiaomei dressed up in a fashionable and rustic manner, she was a piece of uncensored jade.
"Hey, there are not many girls who can cook now. It would be even more rare for girls to cook such a good table of dishes. If any boy marry Xiaomei in the future, he would be blessed."
Although Li Wenqin looked down on Xiaomei's outfit, she also thought Xiaomei was a really virtuous girl. She asked with a smile: "Xiaomei, do you have a boyfriend?"
Because Ma Xiaomei lived in the Cao family, in order to leave a good impression on the Cao family, she suppressed her nature and acted very shy. She shook her head and said softly: "No!"
Cao Hanzhi smiled and said, "It's still simple for girls from small places. I said Xiaoqiang, I have to be kind to this sister in the future. I can't let her live in our house and suffer grievances."
Zhao Shucheng said, "Yes, people finally come to our house to live there, so we can't let you sleep on the sofa. Dad, otherwise you can free up your room and you and mom will squeeze it. You are all old husbands and wives, so it's nothing to live together."
"Who wants to squeeze with him? Nonsense!" Li Wenqin glared at Zhao Shucheng.
But when she was about to ask Ma Xiaomei to have dinner together, she didn't see Xiaomei's figure. When she looked back, she actually sat in the kitchen and was busy with food.
"Xiaomei, what are you doing?" Cao Hanzhi walked over in shock and said, "Aren't you slapping me in the face?"
Xiaomei said timidly: "Uncle, my dad said there are many rules in the city."
"Oh, they are all homes of ordinary people, so there are so many rules."
Zhao Shucheng also said, "Yes, Xiaomei, how can you do this like you? You are here for dinner. You have come to our house, because of your father’s comrade-in-arms relationship with my father for so many years, we are a family. Since we are here, we will treat this place as our own. My father has seen you grow up since childhood, and he is not an outsider."
Cao Hanzhi also said, "Yes, Xiaomei, don't be dissatisfied."
"My dad said I have many problems, and I'm afraid you will laugh at me." Xiaomei said with some restraint.
"If you don't say that, your dad will give you to me, and I will treat you as my daughter. You will be like you at home."
Li Wenqin also said: "Child, let's relax, our family doesn't have so many rules."
When Xiaomei heard Cao Hanzhi and Li Wenqin say this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and directly restored her true self to her true self, saying, "Really? Oh my god, this is a good thing for me, but I'm suffocating me to death. I'll tell you, uncle."
Ma Xiaomei's change made Cao Hanzhi and Li Wenqin stunned. Even Li Wenda was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the girl who had just felt the soft voice suddenly became a tomboy.
But Ma Xiaomei's words then hit Li Wenqin's heart: "Uncle, my dad said, let me listen to you in the capital. Aunt, you are much older than the previous two years, and your wrinkles are deeper. This woman is old faster. Look at my uncle, she is much younger and more beautiful than you."
Li Wenqin couldn't help but touch her face, then looked at Cao Hanzhi, and couldn't eat it any longer.
Ma Xiaomei didn't feel that she had said something wrong just now, and said, "It's okay, Auntie, my mother looks older than my dad, it's okay."
Then he turned to look at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Brother, my dad said that I would come to Beijing. From now on, I will study and learn more from you and treat you as my biological brother. You are so knowledgeable in Beijing. You must know everything. You will teach me more in the future. I will just mess with you, where you go, where I go."
Zhao Shucheng said with a giggle and laughter: "Okay, I will definitely teach you."
"Oh, uncle, you don't know. I've been so suffocating these days. I like to talk. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't talk now."
Only then did Cao Hanzhi and Li Wenqin realize that Ma Xiaomei used to pretend to be a lady in the past few days when she was with them, but now she is the true face.
So when Ma Xiaomei went to serve the rice, Li Wenqin said to Cao Hanzhi: "This wasn't good just now, why did he suddenly change into another person?"
"It's okay, take a look, take a look." Cao Hanzhi could only comfort his wife in embarrassment.
Ma Xiaomei has no big problems in other aspects. She is simple and straightforward in behavior. There is only one thing that shocks her, that is her aesthetics. I don’t know where she saw it or learned it from. When she dresses herself, she likes to wear “flowerful” clothes, which literally means colorful. The clothes are either red, green or pink and purple. The key is that these clothes are very rustic and a bit fashionable when dressed up. In short, they look inconsistent.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The key is that she doesn’t think there is anything wrong with her dress, but instead feels that the clothes worn by the people in the capital cannot keep up with the trend.
Zhao Shucheng instead felt that if Ma Xiaomei didn't come from the countryside, but graduated from a serious fashion college, her idea was avant-garde fashion concept. However, because she had no education and no major, others would only think that she had no aesthetics when she saw it.
However, if she can enter the fashion circle, even if she cannot become a top designer, she may not be able to achieve something because of her unique aesthetic. But if you ask her to work as a salesperson in the clothing store, according to her matching, few people can accept it, let alone buy it and wear it.
The next day, as the master, Zhao Shucheng naturally had to take Ma Xiaomei to visit the capital first.
However, Ma Xiaomei had no interest in those well-known classics. Instead, she insisted that Zhao Shucheng take her to the clothing wholesale market, constantly select some clothes that do not conform to the public's aesthetics, and then bargained with the boss, and finally bought two large bags of clothes for 1,000 yuan.
This made Zhao Shucheng feel that if Ma Xiaomei went to the clothing business, she should be a good player, but the premise was to change her chaotic aesthetics. Otherwise, the clothes she chose might be really difficult for anyone to accept and it would be difficult for anyone to sell.
After returning home, Ma Xiaomei pulled Li Wenqin to the room to change clothes and try on clothes.
However, Li Wenqin really cannot accept Ma Xiaomei's aesthetic, especially those avant-garde clothes. For Li Wenqin, who has been a teacher for decades and is a bit conservative.
Cao Hanzhi and Zhao Shucheng were chatting outside and said, "Xiaoqiang, how about it? I have been with Xiaomei for a day. What do you think of Xiaomei?"
"It's okay, except for the aesthetics being a little advanced, everything else is pretty good."
Cao Hanzhi asked, "Don't you think this child is a little troublesome?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's a little bit of trouble, but they are still young after all, and being energetic is the right thing to do. And compared with Wu Xiaoliu, she is at most a chattering chatter and not a noisy one."
"I think she came from the county town after all, and she is still a little rustic."
Zhao Shucheng was amused when he heard this and said, "Dad, you don't understand this. It's not rustic, but fashion. We don't dare to wear this set of fashion, but we dare to wear it. Compared with others, we are the same as those from small counties. Isn't fashion like this? It's different from the public's concept? We think it's good-looking, we think it's rustic, we think it's rustic, and we think it's very fashionable."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but think of the fashion week a few years later, such as Northeast flower cotton jackets, yellow rubber shoes, and woven bags, all of which were changed slightly and became fashion products of foreign brands again, selling for thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. On the contrary, the same type of domestic products, but because they are not big brands and even have a slight difference in colors, they can only be sold for dozens or even a few dollars.
After hearing this, Cao Hanzhi said, "Xiaoqiang, do you think Xiaomei is pretty good, right? I still remember when you were young, I was joking with your Uncle Ma and the others, and I was going to make a baby kiss for you."
Before Zhao Shucheng could say anything, he saw Ma Xiaomei coming out of the house, glanced at Zhao Shucheng, and then went back.
Zhao Shucheng looked at the closed door in a daze and said to Cao Hanzhi: "Dad, I already have a partner I am dating now, don't interfere."
"That's what I said, of course I know you're dating, just ask casually."
When Cao Hanzhi heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he knew that Zhao Shucheng had no intention of Ma Xiaomei, so he stopped mentioning the past. Instead, he urged Zhao Shucheng to take Wu Xiaoliu to his house for convenience.
Zhao Shucheng refused as usual. He felt that he and Wu Xiaoliu had not yet met his parents because he knew very well what Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi thought.
