Chapter 491: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (3)
Not long after, Su Xiangran had changed into new clothes and slowly walked out of the fitting room.
Although she is only six years old, she has a delicate face, like a little princess in a fairy tale.
Song Chengjing couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "It's so beautiful!"
Hearing this, Su Xiangran's cheeks flushed, she lowered her head shyly, and gently fiddled with the hem of her skirt.
This dress is not only unique in style, but also very comfortable and convenient to wear. It is many times better than the clothes I had before.
After stepping out of the store, Song Chengjing did not stop, but led Su Xiangran straight to the tailor shop in Haicheng.
There, they carefully selected and customized several outfits for everyday wear.
Among them were long shirts and trousers similar to those worn by adults, as well as student uniforms that Su Xiangran had seen on campus - of course, all of these were mini versions in child-sized sizes.
In addition, Song Chengjing specifically asked the tailor to sew two small and exquisite cheongsams for Su Xiangran to show her unique oriental charm.
"Xiao Ran, the school often holds some festival activities and you can wear a beautiful cheongsam to participate in them." Song Chengjing explained patiently to Su Xiangran.
At this time, the clever apprentice in the store noticed that Song Chengjing was so generous in ordering clothes for the little girl, so he stepped forward and interrupted, "Sir, our store happens to have a few new children's shirt samples. Do you want to take them out for your sister to try?"
Seeing that Song Chengjing seemed to be interested in this, the apprentice became even more enthusiastic and continued to promote: "Shirts are usually worn with trousers, and now women's suits are a very popular fashion style.
At your sister's age, she would look very energetic and beautiful in such an outfit!"
"Well, you are quite eloquent." Song Chengjing glanced at the apprentice, then squatted down and asked Su Xiangran gently, "Xiao Ran, what do you think of this dress? Do you like it or not?"
Normally speaking, Su Xiangran at her age should not know what a shirt and trousers are, but she is not the same little girl after all, so of course she understands these clothes.
Compared to those skirts, she certainly prefers more modern clothes, but Song Chengjing has already spent a lot of money, so it is not easy for her to buy more.
"It seems that Xiaoran likes it." Song Chengjing could see the love in Su Xiangran's eyes, but he didn't say it out loud for some reason. But how could he let Su Xiangran down!
With the introduction of this apprentice, he ordered several sets of shirts and trousers for Su Xiangran.
This is not the end yet. Song Chengjing felt that the cloth shoes on Su Xiangran's feet did not match these clothes.
So he took her to a nearby shoe store to buy a few pairs of shoes for Su Xiangran. Although they went shopping, they did not carry back any large bags.
Song Chengjing left his address in the store and asked them to send it to school for him the next day or the day after tomorrow.
"Xiao Ran, these things are gifts from your brother, but I'm afraid your mother won't accept them if I send them to your house now." He explained his intention to Su Xiangran, "I'll send them to your house after your mother returns to Jincheng in two days."
"Brother, these things are good, but there are too many of them." Su Xiangran said in annoyance, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wear them all if I buy so many."
"No." Song Chengjing suddenly said seriously, "People in this world may only see your appearance at first sight. Although it is a new school, it is opened here, so everything has its own human relations.
Those who can attend this school are basically from families with good backgrounds in Haicheng, so your dress on the first day of school is particularly important.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand these now, as long as you know to wear the clothes I prepare for you to go to school. ”
Su Xiangran, who is six years old physically but an adult mentally, certainly understood what Song Chengjing meant. But now, she seemed to have no other way to express her gratitude except to say, "Thank you!"
After paying the bill, Song Chengjing took Su Xiangran to stroll around the city center for a while, introducing her to various buildings and facilities along the way.
Although Cao Shixun had taken Su Xiangran to the sea market before, he was nothing compared to Song Chengjing's attentiveness.
It's just a lonely sight.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
"It's getting late. Let me take you home." Song Chengjing said after looking at the sky.
"I'm really happy today. Thank you, Brother Song." Su Xiangran said gratefully.
"You are so polite to me." Song Chengjing ruffled her hair, "Let's go, or your brother and mother will be worried."
When the two returned to school, Cao Wanning was already waiting at the school gate.
It turned out that with the help of people arranged by Song Chengjing, she packed her luggage and moved her things to a house near the school that she had previously liked.
Thinking of the brother and sister, I wanted to come over to see them again, but when I got to the door, I remembered that I couldn't seem to get in.
Just when I was about to ask someone to pass on the message for me, I saw Song Chengjing and Su Xiangran also appeared at the school gate.
