In this life, I will no longer be a childhood sweetheart

Chapter 7 Improving Your Image
Silent all night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Su Zelin spread his hands: "Father, give me the money, I'm going to buy clothes today!"

"Buy, buy, buy, you know how to buy clothes all day long, look at your closet is full, and they are all strange clothes, expensive and ugly!"

Zhao Lixia couldn't help complaining.

The "fashion" of Su Zelin's cabinet is really eye-catching in the eyes of the two elders.

"That's right, those clothes are too ugly, I plan to change them all into normal ones!"

Su Zelin blushed tenderly.

"you sure?"

Su Jianjun didn't quite believe it.

Based on his understanding of his son, these outlandish outfits are "normal".

Su Zelin suddenly became angry: "Father, with your IQ, can I deceive you? If you don't believe me, you can go with me!"

"That's true!"

Su Jianjun is very useful for this flattery.

"Your mother and I are not free, the shop will be very busy today!"

He hesitated and made a decision.

Talking with Su Zelin yesterday, he found that his son is really different from before. He even has the idea of ​​starting a business after college. If he wants to change his image, he naturally needs to support him.

From the cowhide bag, he took out five red heads and stuffed them into Su Zelin's hands.

The price of this era is still very cheap, and this money is enough to buy several sets of decent brand summer clothes.

"Stinky boy, remember, you can't buy the ones with holes, and the ones with colorful and pretty flowers. If you dare to lie to us, you won't be able to eat them and walk around!"

Zhao Lixia reminded her that she originally considered asking Qin Shiqing to follow her, but she was afraid of wasting other people's precious time reviewing their homework, so she gave up if she wanted to.

"I know, my lord mother!"

Su Zelin took a few old people's heads with a smile, and stuffed them into his trouser pockets.

"Put this money in a safe place, beware of thieves!"

Zhao Lixia frowned.

"Don't worry, old man, whoever dares to steal my Su Zelin's money in Jianglan, I'll smash his head!"

Su Zelin was careless, but she was telling the truth.

He has been restless since he was a child, and he fought twice in three days, with his classmates and gangsters. He fought for an unknown number of blocks. He was known for his fierceness and bravery. He was called a street bully, and he was also well-known in the circle.

Besides, punks and thieves are used to looking for soft persimmons. Even if you don't know Su Zelin, you can guess that he is either a colleague or someone who is not easy to mess with when you see him as tall and big, and he is a ruffian. No one can eat enough and have nothing to do. They are asking for trouble.

"How big of a man, you know how to fight all day long!"

Zhao Lixia babbled a few more words, then went out with Su Jianjun, rode on a Jialing, and left the alley.

In the car, Zhao Lixia said dissatisfiedly: "You, you are too indulgent of your son, and you pay so much money to buy a few sets of clothes, what a loving father!"

"It's a good thing that my son wants to change his image. Besides, Zelin is more sensible than before. I chatted with him last night and asked him what plans he has in the future. My son said that he plans to go to college and start his own business!"

Su Jianjun drove the car and responded without looking back.

"He really said that?"

"Really, and I don't look like I'm lying, Zelling does want to have a mind of his own!"

"That's good!"

Zhao Lixia breathed a sigh of relief, what she was most worried about was that her son would continue to be so confused.

"By the way, when washing the dishes last night, Shiqing told me that Zelin was very obedient at school last week, and often stayed in the classroom after school!"

"Hehe, it seems that our Zelin has really grown up!"

"..."

As soon as the two elders left, Su Zelin also rode a bicycle out the door on the back foot.

Jianglan is still a small place, and it hasn't been a few years since the county was withdrawn and established as a city. People can count the places where people often buy clothes on their fingers.

The discount points are the central market, the southern market and several other big markets.

Su Ze ran around first, and was disappointed to find that almost all of them were street stalls. The style and quality were not good, and "Nike" and "Adidas" were everywhere.

The price is very cheap, some clothes are 30 yuan, and you can even bargain. A [-]% discount is no problem.

This is the experience that Zhao Lixia told Su Zelin before going out. If you buy clothes in these two places, you must bargain. The deal will be done under pretexts such as "for the sake of being a student, you sold it at a low price".

Before his rebirth, Su Zelin wore all big brands. It wasn't because he was vain, but because the fabrics of the brand's clothes were of good quality, which helped to improve his image, and they were also comfortable to wear.

Besides, his family background is quite good, and he is sure to make money quickly, so there is no need to wrong himself just to save a little money.

After going to two markets, it is estimated that the other markets are basically in the same situation. Su Zelin didn't waste any time and went straight to the famous brand street in the city center.

There are more styles of clothes in this place. While the prices have increased, there are also designs to speak of.

Walk all the way down the street.

Julius Caesar, Old Man Head, Younger, Rimba are too old-fashioned, not suitable for young people, pass!

Su Zelin stopped when he came to the fifth shop.

This is a Jack Jones store, which focuses on denim and is aimed at young people.

It's it!
The bicycle was parked at the door of the store, and Su Zelin walked in.

"Hello, welcome!"

Jack Jones understands the psychology of young consumers very well. All the shop assistants are handsome men and beautiful women in fashionable dresses, and the girls who receive them are also quite eye-catching.

At present, there are not many domestic brands that focus on the younger market. Merchants are not aware of the changes in the future consumption trend. The concept of the brand is in the right direction. At present, you can make money by joining in any city and opening a few specialty stores.

"Well, I'd like to see some jeans, straight fit!"

Straight-leg pants are a timeless silhouette that will never go out of fashion.

Small speakers, big speakers, and small feet have all been popular, but they either disappeared or could not take on the mainstream.

"Okay, this way please!"

The shop assistant brought Su Zelin to a certain place in the shop, all of them were straight-leg jeans, and there were dozens of styles.

Su Zelin took a few casual glances, then his eyes fell on one of them, and he picked it up casually.

"It has certain elasticity, good drape, and good air permeability. It should be a blend of spandex and cotton, and the spandex content is about [-]%!"

"Indigo dye, bright and bright, slightly red, no obvious staining on bag cloth!"

"Delicate feel, high count!"

"..."

Before waiting for the sister paper to introduce, Su Zelin described it like a few treasures, which made the sister paper stunned for a while, and she didn't even know some terms.

Meet the experts!
But this handsome guy looks like a high school student, why does he know so much...

Su Zelin fell in love with this pair of trousers at a glance, and the younger sister quickly went to the warehouse to find a suitable size, and checked the washing label by the way.

Spandex content is 31%, cotton content is 69%.

Great!

Su Zelin tried it on, saw herself in front of the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

This can be regarded as a bit of a handsome man, the previous image is too lame!

His figure is like a clothes rack, as long as he is not dressed in outlandish clothes and the size is right, he can be easily controlled.

With this pair of straight-leg jeans on the upper body, the whole person looks handsome, and the key point is that they are comfortable.

Clothes made of pure polyester fiber are elastic, soft and drape good, and the color is correct and not easy to fade. Fading, so adding a certain proportion of polyester fiber blend to cotton is the most suitable material.

In addition, it depends on the craftsmanship, such as the number of counts, which also directly affects the touch and comfort of the skin.

With a pair of jeans, I left the Jack Jones store. In this era of low consumption, I spent more than 100 yuan. Compared with those 23 yuan street stalls in the market, the Jack Jones in 2000 was considered a luxury.

I continued to visit other brand stores, and bought a set of hip-hop wide-leg shorts and loose T-shirts, a set of island school style, and a set of sportswear. The money in my pocket was almost spent.

Carrying a few big bags, Su Zelin left Famous Brand Street and went straight to a hair salon.

In addition to his old clothes, he is also dissatisfied with his hairstyle.

Although the long hair piled up at [-] or [-] points is not unorthodox, it is even a popular classic in Xiangjiang. Lin Zhiying, Guo Tianwang, Gu Zai, and Xie Tingfeng all wear this hairstyle, but Su Zelin's ten years later After all, the future people who travel back still feel that it is not refreshing enough, and the summer is also extremely hot.

This is one of the most well-known hair salons in the small town. It is a bit expensive, but it can cut a lot of avant-garde hairstyles, Hong Kong style and even European and American style, so Su Zelin chose it.

When I entered the door, I called the director directly, described it personally, and asked him to break his hair. Just like the hairstyle of the hero Ke Zhendong in the movie "The Girl We Chased Together", it was neither long nor short, just right, and had the youthful look. It is full of vigor, and you can age at any time by combing it with mousse, making yourself look more mature.

The director's workmanship is good, at least Su Zelin is quite satisfied with the result.

After the image rectification project was completed, it was almost noon, and he rode his bicycle back home leisurely.

Stopped at the convenience store at the entrance of the alley.

After walking around the street for a long time, the sun was so hot that Su Zelin's throat was almost smoky.

"It's so hot, Uncle Chen, come to the Arctic Ocean!"

Uncle Chen has been running this convenience store for many years. It is an old neighbor. Su Zelin used to buy snacks and drinks here when he was a child.

"Okay, one from the Arctic Ocean!"

Uncle Chen quickly took out a soda with the polar bear logo from the refrigerator and handed it to him, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "Yo, Zelin has become a handsome boy!"

Su Zelin couldn't bear his old clothes that were different for a moment. He bought new clothes on the street and changed into new clothes on the spot. With short haircut, his whole person looked brand new.

"Uncle Chen, what are you talking about? It sounds like I wasn't handsome before!"

Su Zelin protested.

Uncle Chen chuckled.

Although Su Zelin used to have a good face, but his attire is really not flattering, so this bastard has a thick skin and is not afraid of being beaten. My son also played the same tune before getting married, and he was cowarded after being whipped twice.

After shaking the lid a few times to open it, the orange soda splashed out with bubbles, and Su Zelin took a few sips.

Cool hearts fly!

Huh, it's comfortable now!
While sitting at the door drinking soda, Su Zelin also looked at the things in the convenience store.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs and sells a lot of groceries.

Su Zelin mainly focused on snacks.

Mai Li Su, Monkey King Pill, Lard Candy, Fig Shredded, Whistling Candy, Jumping Candy...

That's right, the popping candies are still for eating, and boys also eat them.

"Uncle Chen, here are two packs of sour plum powder!"

Su Zelin's childlike innocence exploded.

"You are such a big boy, why do you still eat sour plum powder!"

Having said that, Uncle Chen still took out two packs of sour plum powder.

Su Zelin fumbled up and down through the small bag for a while before biting open it with interest.

After removing the pile of dark red powder, there was still a small flat plastic spoon hidden inside. The handle of the spoon was like a sand monk.

This kind of sour plum powder is a Sanwu product, but it has been promoted to the ceiling of the street snack market. It is not how delicious it is, but the "treasure" inside.

The shape of the small spoon is random. It may be a series of cold weapons such as knives, forks, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. Even rarer are the European Gods series and the machine gun, pistol and submachine gun series.

Buying a pack of sour plum powder gives you the thrill of fighting monsters and violent equipment, not the usual excitement.

If a spoon of the rare series is released, just this spoon can be exchanged for a few bags of sour plum powder, but most children are reluctant to exchange it.

Su Zelin ate hundreds of packs of sour plum powder when he was a child. He collected spoons not for eating. He still kept weapons sets and Journey to the West sets at home, and most of the twelve zodiac sets. It’s a pity that he didn’t explode the rare spoons, which are a bit small Small regret.

I opened another bag, but the luck is still bad. There are many such spoons in the cold weapon series, and there is no collection value.

Su Zelin was not disappointed either. Anyway, he just played casually and poured the sour plum powder into his mouth. It tasted sour and sweet, and it tasted very good.

After drinking a soda, I still couldn't get enough of it, and bought a banana popsicle, which was also one of Su Zelin's summer favorites.

At this time, two more children ran to the convenience store, a boy and a girl, about six or seven years old, children from the nearby neighbors.

The two were sweating profusely from playing, and the girl looked at the banana popsicle in Su Zelin's hand eagerly, her saliva almost drooled.

Su Zelin couldn't help laughing, and suddenly remembered that when he and Qin Shiqing were young, he asked Chen Bo to give them a box of "Seven Dwarfs".

"Thank you brother!"

The two children were overjoyed.

Being able to eat a popsicle on such a hot summer day is their greatest joy.

"Little devil, wait a minute!"

Su Zelin stopped the boy holding the ice cream box, and asked casually, "There are seven popsicles here, how do you divide them?"

The little boy tilted his head and thought for a while: "I have three, Kiki has four!"

"Oh why?"

Su Zelin was very interested.

"Because I'm a boy, my father said that boys should give way to girls, so Qiqi should eat one more!"

The little boy replied old-fashionedly.

"very good!"

Su Zelin touched his little head.

"It can't be divided like this!"

The little girl suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?"

"Mom said that things should be done fairly, so Xiaoqiang and I each licked the last popsicle until it was finished!"

"You are also a good boy!"

Su Zelin gave her a thumbs up.

Two children ran away with popsicles.

Su Zelin was filled with emotion.

This is our childhood, so simple!

"Zering!"

A gentle female voice came from behind.

It was Qin Shiqing who stood behind her at some point.

"How long have you been here?"

Su Zelin was slightly taken aback.

Qin Shiqing didn't answer, but looked at the backs of the two children going away, a trace of nostalgia appeared on her quiet and jade face: "Back then, we ended up dividing like this in the end."

Uh, she's been here for a while...

Thinking of something, Qin Shiqing's face suddenly turned red.

She and Su Zelin each licked the last popsicle.

After a long while, Qin Shiqing took her gaze back.

Looking at Su Zelin in front of her, her beautiful eyes lit up and she was slightly surprised.

As a neighbor for so long, this is the first time she has seen her childhood sweetheart look like this.

The three to seven cents thick long hair was cut off, replaced by refreshing short hair, slim straight jeans made him more tall and straight at 1.8 meters, paired with a red and blue T-shirt, the whole person looks beautiful Exudes a taste of casual fashion.

Very trendy!

It's not the "fake fashion" of non-mainstream clothing in the past, but the real taste, at least Qin Shiqing thinks it is very pleasing to the eye.

"Is it because I am too handsome now to recognize you?"

Su Zelin shook her hands in front of her, and Qin Shiqing came back to her senses, and spat: "That's not the case, don't be so stinky!"

Chen Bo looked at the two with a smile.

In the boy and girl just now, he saw what Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing looked like back then.

The girl of the Qin family likes to run behind the boy of the Su family when she wears two braids.

In a blink of an eye, these two children have grown up, and I am old too!

"Uncle Chen, two more Arctic Oceans!"

Su Zelin knew Qin Shiqing's taste without asking.

The two like the same soda.

He grew up together and was in the same class from kindergarten to high school. He knows her so well!
Uncle Chen took out two more Arctic Oceans from the refrigerator and opened them.

Su Zelin took one for himself, and handed the other to Qin Shiqing.

The two just sat outside the convenience store, sipping soda slowly, neither of them spoke, feeling as if they had returned to the old days.

After drinking more than half of such a soda, Su Zelin said again: "Qin Shiqing, promise me one thing!"

"what's up?"

Qin Shiqing asked casually.

"You must be admitted to Qingbei!"

Su Zelin said seriously.

In her previous life, Qin Shiqing was also expected to be in Qingbei, but she did not perform well for some reason, and finally got admitted to Zhejiang University in the same city in the province.

It was also like this that the two of them had a lot of opportunities to get in touch with each other during college, which made him scumbag her later.

Therefore, Su Zelin doesn't want to be like that in this life.

"I'll try my best, let's just go home!"

Qin Shiqing put the bottle away, stood up and walked towards the alley.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast, I haven't finished drinking yet, wait for me!"
