Chapter 40: Outside the world (1)

No.197
My dad and Aunt Qi worked overtime separately. My dad sent me text messages to get money from the drawer and took Xiao Lin Fan out for dinner at night.
There happened to be a new restaurant downstairs in my house. It was named "InterContinental Hotel" with a very impressive name. The collar was not straightened before entering, so I was embarrassed to step in. The location of this corner is amazing. Since I moved here ten years ago, the street-facing store has probably changed more than a dozen shops, from beauty salons to bathing centers, from nightclubs to all kinds of hotels...
The key is that no matter what you open, you can't open it, and it will close in half a year.
The food court in our city lacks the spirit of innovation. If something goes viral in other places, our city can bloom uncontrollably. Leslie Cheung and Anita Yuen’s "Full Banquet of the Han Dynasty" became popular, and our city was full of "Man Han Towers"; Xiao Long Bao was introduced to the north, and our city "kaifeng filled soup dumplings" everywhere; not to mention the later "Boiled Fish". However, thanks to this highly mobile shop downstairs, no matter what is popular in the market, I can wait for a new owner who is not afraid of death to open the same shop.
The phenomenon of "following the trend and death" has been repeated several times. The catering industry has learned from it and never dared to mess with new dishes. Finally, it has returned to the traditional mode of "regal seafood restaurant", which is not taxable. .
I put on my hat and scarf, brought Xiao Linfan downstairs, and asked him if he wanted to eat "KFC" or "InterContinental Hotel", but he shook his head firmly and said that he wanted to go to the corner to buy a "Tujia dregs biscuits "eat.
Oh, by the way, the most popular item here this year is this "Tujia Dregs Biscuits" packed in square kraft paper bags. Another generation of new foods has sparked in the form of small windows.
After getting along for a period of time, I gradually understood Xiao Linfan's character: as long as he likes a certain food, he will stubbornly eat it until he hears the name and his color changes. For example, shrimp, such as sesame seed cake.
"InterContinental Hotel has bamboo shrimp, don't you want to eat it?"
Lin Fan quickly fell into a battle between heaven and man.
"Why don't we buy the biscuits first, and then order bamboo shrimps at the restaurant, okay, sister?"
He looked up at me with shining eyes.
I know, now I am his goddess.

I eat very little. Most of the bamboo prawns were left to Fan Xiaolin, and he ate half a bowl of rice with tiger skin pepper and salt and pepper fillet.
"Sister for you!"
Xiao Lin Fan found out that I was abnormal, and he took out two strings of shrimps from the bamboo tube awe-inspiringly, even though he looked very sad when he did so.
"Sister is not hungry," I shook my head, "I wanted to eat less."
"why?"
"Why is there so much, I can't eat it."
"Do you want to lose weight?"
I was choked.
"No," I shook my head. "Where did you little kid hear about these messes?"
"I was at the same table and said she was going to lose weight." Xiao Linfan bit the prawns from the bamboo sticks, and said vaguely, "She is fat, we are not willing to sit at the same table with her. Squeezed to death."
"She loses weight when she's only young," I'm annoyed. "Look at what you have made a girl under ten years old into."
"What does it have to do with us?" Xiao Linfan raised his voice aggrievedly. This is the first time he told me about their class. "I tell her every day to let her make room for me and ask her not to She dropped the snack scum all over the floor, she never paid attention to me! She laughed at me for being short!"
I like to see this little boy rushing to explain. He gradually began to treat me as his sister. He talked more and more casually. It was no longer the kitten who hid on the side and ate shrimp when we first met.
"Well, since she doesn't care what you say about her, why is she losing weight suddenly?" I asked.
"We are going to hold a radio gymnastics contest. When we were in line, the sports committee picked her and a few other very fat boys out and told them not to play. Because she liked the sports committee, hahahahahaha, so she cried on the spot. ."
The last sentence of "because so hahahaha" was casually spoken by Xiao Linfan, a late-maturing child who had not yet been hit by puberty, and I seemed to hear the sound of the little fat girl's glass heart cracking.
"Women are those who please themselves, do you know this sentence?"
Xiao Linfan's entire face was buried in the bag of sesame seed cakes, I only saw a brown paper bag shook his head at me.
If you don’t understand, I know you don’t.
I know.
I pushed the bowl forward and didn't want to eat any more.
After leaving the restaurant, the two of us went to a nearby grocery store to buy candied haws to eat. I wanted to eat them together on the way back, but the wind at night in winter was really strong. I covered my whole head with a scarf, and I couldn’t show my mouth at all. I also helped Xiao Lin Fan to surround it, leaving only A pair of eyes blinked and blinked like a little mummy.
Finally ran into the corridor, and I quickly tore off the scarf. It had been frozen because of the vapor I was breathing, and it became colder as I surrounded it.
"Okay, okay, you can eat candied haws." I also took off Lin Fan's scarf.
"Sister, I think you are so kind."
Before opening his mouth to bite the first bite of the candied haws, Xiao Lin Fan blinked and said flatly.
"Is it because of the dregs of cakes, bamboo shrimp and candied haws? Or is it because you failed the exam?"
Lin Fan smiled embarrassedly. While eating the candied haws, he ran upstairs in two levels, spreading the sugar crumbs all over the scarf.
"No, I'm telling the truth," he thought for a while, using a vocabulary that is a bit advanced for third-grade boys, "I feel it."
I smiled: "Then what do you think is good sister?"
Lin Fan fell into an embarrassing contemplation, and I couldn't help but induce him to save face: "Do you think my sister looks good?"
I can only ask him, who can I bully at the bottom of the food chain?
"Good-looking!" He opened his mouth and came.
"Answer me well!"
"Really! Sister is the most beautiful." His big eyes flickered and said.
"Where is it beautiful?"
I suddenly looked forward to his answer.
"...The beauty of the soul."
No.199
When Xiao Linfan was doing homework obediently at home, I sat on the floor of my room in a daze.
I didn't feel so bad. I don't know what I am thinking at all, but whatever I do, I feel like losing my soul.
I changed all my clothes into home clothes, and then carried the red attachment bear to study. Why is it not good-looking? This is also a pretty good brand. Why is it not as good-looking as others? The jeans are understandable. I'm afraid of the cold. I put two thick long trousers on it. It's not bad to wear them every day. I don't expect them to be as loose and stylish as Ling Xiangqian's pants.
My gaze fell on the reflection of the wardrobe glass inadvertently, so I crawled over and looked at myself carefully.
Don't look at the face, don't look at the face.
I finally discovered the reason why I don’t look good in the Attachment Bear sweater: my upper body is really not thin, although my arms are thin, but the back is still fleshy, this sweater is not a loose-fitting style, and it does not show chest or chest when worn on my body. She is thin, and wearing a shirt underneath will make her look even more bearish.
I pity it up. You die in the closet, goodbye.
Immediately afterwards, I inevitably looked at my face: Although she is not as beautiful as her, she has good features, and she doesn't have many acne, just a little rough. Is the cream not suitable for me? Right, every time I wipe my face oily, how can I look good?
This is also a problem.
I watched so rapturously that my dad pushed open the door of my room when he got home, and what he saw was the strange gesture of his daughter kneeling on the ground, pressing her face against the glass of the wardrobe.
"You... what are you doing?" he asked.
I didn't answer, but stared at my dad's face and asked: "Dad, why can someone not wear long pants?"
One of my dad’s special favorites is that he has never been as suspicious as my mom. In this case, my mother will inevitably insist on the theme and not relax, and she scolds me: "I asked what you are doing now. What does it matter to you if others wear long trousers? Why are you looking in the mirror?"
And my dad will gently follow me to change the subject: "If you don’t wear long trousers, you may not be afraid of the cold. Many foreigners are better than us because they exercise all the year and like to eat meat, eggs and milk. They only wear shorts in winter. ."
Not only does it change the subject, but it can also go a long way.
I shook my head: "I mean my age, girl, thinner than me."
My dad thought for a while: "Smelly beautiful."
Right, how can it be cold? I think so.
"But is it possible that she goes to school in a private car, there is heating in the car, and when entering the school building, there is also heating, which is warmer than at home, so there is no need to wear it?" My dad put forward a convincing hypothesis.
Ling Xiangqian looked very rich at first glance, she should be, eh. but……
"Sports classes, inter-class exercises, and the flag raising on Monday morning, you still have to stand outside for a long time!" I argued.
"If you can't bear it, it will pass." My dad retorted in a mellow manner.
Yes, how could there be anything without cost in the world!
"Or maybe she is wearing very thin infrared thermal underwear, which is often sold on TV shopping, what Antarctic, counterclockwise..."
My eyes lit up. Yes, who stipulates that such heavy long trousers must be worn? When I was a child, the suspender cotton trousers that my grandma made for me were the ones that I wore. Now they are also out of use? Science and technology are advancing, and mankind is developing!
"Dad, thank you!" I smiled.
The significant difference between my dad and my mom is exposed. He didn't even ask me why I asked these questions, so he smiled and said not to sit on the ground, it was cold on the ground-and then closed the door and went out.

The next question is how to avoid my mother's mine.
I must let my mother accompany me to buy clothes. I am a tiger and I am now seventeen, but I have not bought any clothes myself. I have never been to the three famous clothing wholesale markets in our city, because my mother said that the girls in our class who chatted with each other on weekends to buy hair cards, nail polish and small skirts were
not serious
.
It has always been my mom's skill to knock down a boat in order to prove his correctness.
The more important reason is that I have no money. My dad gives me twenty yuan in pocket money every day for taking the bus and buying lunch. I have about ten yuan left every day, but whenever I need to spend a lot of money, I find that they don’t know. Where did you go.
Having said that, except for weekends, at ten yuan a day, even if you save for a month, you can't buy a few good-looking clothes, right?
So I still have to convince my mother.
It’s not difficult for her to accompany me around, but you must be very careful to hide your true intentions, otherwise I will die miserably.
My mother never hesitated to spend money on me, but I mean eating fast food, buying books, learning talents, going to extracurricular tuition classes, as for clothes and toys that I can take out, ha ha, don’t talk about it.
In her words, I did not spend money to make you fail to learn well.
She believes that girls starting to pay attention to hair and dressing is an important sign of not learning well-that is, puppies, so I still wear a half-length and not-short male hair.
In fact, she was right...
I was worried and started tossing about in bed.
