Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 347 Trying on

Lin Qingyan looked around. They were at the entrance of the cinema, where people were coming and going.

Changing clothes in an open space would probably be unacceptable no matter what era it is.

There was an old lady sitting at the door opposite the cinema, watching the excitement here.

Lin Qingyan whispered something to Liu Huizhen and quickly ran towards the old lady.

"Auntie, can you please do me a favor?"

"Girl, what's wrong? Can I help you?"

"Ma'am, can you please take me to your house so I can change my clothes?"

Lin Qingyan didn't wait for the old lady to refuse, and said quickly:

"Auntie, I'm not borrowing your room for nothing. No matter how many people come to try on clothes today, I'll give you 1 dollar. Is that okay with you?"

"Just change clothes in the house? Give me one dollar?" The old lady asked in disbelief when she heard that she was given one dollar.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm just borrowing your room to change my clothes."

"Okay, girl, just use my girl's room!"

The old lady readily agreed, but before Lin Qingyan left, she still reminded him:

"Auntie, we just need a place where no one is changing clothes. If you have any valuables in your room, please take them out and keep them safe. I don't know these people trying on clothes."

"Thank you, girl. I know what to do."

When Lin Qingyan returned to the crowd, she smiled and said to the girl who was already waiting anxiously:

"Sisters, I have borrowed a place at the auntie's house across the street. If you want to try it out, you can go there and try it on for free. If it doesn't fit, you don't have to buy it."

The girls looked at each other and followed Lin Qingyan to the other side. They stood at the door of their mother's house. Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi also put a large bag of clothes at the door.

The old lady looked at the dozen young girls with some envy, so she smiled and asked:

"Girl, who wants to use the room to change clothes? Just go to this room."

"Okay, thank you, ma'am!"

Lin Qingyan walked to the door and said to the girls in front of her:

"Who of you will try first?"

"I come!"

"I come!"

Two voices came from the crowd at the same time. The two smiled at each other. The girl with a round face and big eyes and two dimples when she smiled pulled the other girl into the house.

While waiting, Lin Qingyan turned around and looked to the other side. Liu Huizhen had already walked to the side of Gu Yizhou and Lin Qingxuan, and handed two bowls of taro balls to Gu Yizhou and Lin Qingxuan.

"Aunt, are you asking Qingxuan and I to take this and shout it out?"

Gu Yizhou didn't quite understand what it meant to just give him a bowl of taro balls.

"Mom, do you want me to go and shout?"

Lin Qingxuan felt excited and eager to try.

Liu Huizhen reached out and patted him, "What are you thinking about? Here's something to eat for both of you!"

"Mom, my sister and the others are busy selling things. We can't help them, so we just eat directly. Isn't that bad?"

Lin Qingxuan felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't been able to help since he arrived and had just been eating the whole time.

"Just eat if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Before Liu Huizhen finished her words, she saw Gu Yizhou had already scooped up a spoonful of taro balls with a spoon, held it up and looked at it carefully for a while before putting it in his mouth. He slowly finished what was in his mouth and then slowly scooped up more.

Liu Huizhen smiled. Yizhou was smart. She looked at her silly son, who had almost finished half a bowl of rice. She couldn't help but interrupt him:

"Qingxuan, eat slower, just like your brother Yizhou."

Lin Qingxuan looked at Gu Yizhou with disdain, asking him to eat so slowly. What he didn't know was that the way they squatted beside the tricycle and ate had attracted the attention of passers-by.

On Lin Qingyan's side, the two people who went in to try on clothes first have come out wearing shirts and bell-bottom pants.

"Wow, it looks so good, it feels like a completely different person."

"Yes, I think this dress makes her figure look better after she puts it on."

"Well, not only does she have a nice figure, but she also looks smaller than usual."

The two people who were trying on the clothes were a little anxious because they couldn't see what they looked like without a mirror. However, when they saw their companion's clothes, they felt that they were not worse than her.

After hearing the compliments from their friends outside, the two returned to the house without any hesitation, took out their original clothes, and walked to Lin Qingyan.

She took out some money from their original clothes and handed it to Lin Qingyan: "We bought this set of clothes."

"It's 27 yuan for one set, and here's 3 yuan in change."

Lin Qingyan took the money and handed it to Ye Yi, who quickly took out the change and gave it back.

Lin Qingyan bent down and took out two small black bags from her clothes bag and handed them to them:

"You can put your clothes here first, so it will be more convenient to carry them when you watch the movie later."

"Thank you!"

The two girls packed their clothes and stood there waiting for other friends to try on clothes.

At this time, at the door of the aunt, Lin Qingyan and the other two plus the two girls who had just bought clothes, a total of five people, wearing tops of different colors and the same pants, attracted people waiting to watch the movie. More and more people gathered here.

Liu Huizhen made a prompt decision and asked Gu Yizhou to push the tricycle not far from Lin Qingyan, while she took a bowl of taro balls to give to the lady who borrowed her house to change clothes.

"Old sister, these are homemade taro balls. Please try them. Thank you for letting the children use the house."

The old lady saw the bowl being brought to her and glanced at Liu Huizhen.

"Which one is your child?"

Liu Huizhen pointed at Lin Qingyan in the crowd and said, "That's my daughter!"

"Hey, big sister, that girl paid me for borrowing my room, take this back!"

The old lady was a little wary. The girl had promised to give her one dollar, and her mother came to bring her food.

What does that mean? Is she going to give me food but not money? That won't do. She has principles. If she says she will pay, she will pay.

"Old sister, it's only right for the child to give money. I'm sorry to cause you trouble by borrowing your house and making a mess by going in and out.

This food is a gift from me to you. It’s free. This is freshly made food at home. Please try it and see how it tastes.”

Liu Huizhen understood what she was thinking. She sent the taro balls over not really for her to eat, but just wanted to take this opportunity to let the group of young people standing at the door see her taro balls.

"Oh, that's so embarrassing!"

As the old lady spoke, she took the bowl that Liu Huizhen handed over and poured the contents of the bowl into her own bowl. Only then did she look carefully at the contents, which included several colors and different shapes.

"Big sister, what is this that you made at home? It looks delicious."

"It's made by the kids. It's called taro balls. It's soft, sticky, sweet, and delicious. You can try it."

Liu Huizhen felt the gazes from all around her and deliberately raised her voice.
