The way she looked at He Teng was like looking at a young lover.
After tidying up the house, He Hongmei took He Zhilan and Liang Jing out.
He Teng had drunk a bit, and although he was not drunk, he would not allow him to follow the three women around shopping.
Women are naturally fond of shopping, regardless of age.
The county’s shopping malls at this time were not as large as they became later.
There were no foreign goods, but the local brands were enough to dazzle people.
When He Hongmei wanted to treat someone well, she would spare no expense.
No matter how much He Zhilan resisted, He Hongmei insisted on buying three outfits for her.
He Zhilan was naturally beautiful, and any clothes she wore looked good on her.
This made many shoppers take extra glances, and whenever Zhilan tried on any outfit, they would also try it on, making the sales staff very happy and causing them to shower praise on He Hongmei.
“Mom, why couldn’t you have made me as beautiful as Sister Zhilan?
This way, when I go shopping with you in the future, everyone would compliment me on my outfits too.
Then, if you get complimented, wouldn’t I get new clothes every day?” Liang Jing, who was straightforward, didn’t intend to belittle Zhilan but just genuinely admired her beauty.
“There’s nothing I can do about the way you look!” He Hongmei did not mince her words when commenting on her daughter, “Look at you, you’re only two years younger than Sister Zhilan, but you’re so much shorter.
Sister Zhilan’s skin is fair, but you are like your dad, with skin as dark as autumn~”
“Mom~ You’re the one whose skin is dark!” Liang Jing stomped her foot in frustration.
He Zhilan also couldn’t help but smile.
Liang Jing wasn’t dark at all.
Especially in an era where farming was the main livelihood, Liang Jing’s skin was just slightly dull and definitely not dark.
“Sister Zhilan, remember to write to me about university life after you start college.
If I find your university life enticing, I might get inspired to work hard and follow in your footsteps to get into Capital University!
If I could get into Capital University, my parents would be overjoyed.
By then, they might buy anything I ask for!”
“Okay, I will write to you when I have time,” He Zhilan nodded in agreement.
Liang Jing was a bit surprised that He Zhilan would respond to her.
She said all this to retort He Hongmei’s comment about her being dark, but in the past, Zhilan would never join in people’s conversations, even when she was mentioned, she would just give a small response or simply nod her head.
After shopping for two hours, the three of them had quite a few things in their hands.
Not only did He Hongmei buy clothes for Zhilan, but she also bought some for Liang Jing.
If it were not for thinking about making dinner, He Hongmei would not even think about going home.
That night, He Teng and He Zhilan stayed at their aunt’s place.
He Teng slept in the living room, while He Zhilan shared a room with Liang Jing.
The next morning, He Hongmei got up early and urged everyone to get up after making breakfast.
He Teng and He Zhilan had to go to the train station to catch a train.
The tickets they bought were for the eight o’clock in the morning.
After breakfast, He Teng with their luggage left his aunt’s home and headed to the county town to catch the train.
