In this life, I will never be a scumbag again.
Chapter 7 Improving Image
A night without words.
The next morning, after breakfast, Su Zelin spread his hands: "Dad, give me the money, I'm going to buy clothes today!"
"Buy, buy, buy. You spend the whole day shopping for clothes. Look, your wardrobe is full, and they are all fancy clothes, expensive and ugly!"
Zhao Lixia couldn't help but complain.
Su Zelin's cabinet of "fashionable clothes" is simply eye-catching to the two elders.
"Yes, those clothes are too ugly, I plan to change them all into normal ones!"
Su Zelin's face turned red.
"Are you sure?"
Su Jianjun doesn't quite believe it.
Based on his understanding of his son, these strange clothes are "normal".
Su Zelin suddenly became angry: "Dad, with your IQ, can you deceive me? If you don't believe me, go with me!"
"That's true!"
Su Jianjun was very pleased with this flattery.
"Your mother and I are not free, the store will be very busy today!"
He hesitated and made a decision.
After a conversation with Su Zelin yesterday, he found that his son is indeed different from before. He even has the idea of starting a business after going to college. If he wants to change his image, he must support him.
He took out five big red heads from the cowhide bag and stuffed them into Su Zelin's hand.
Prices are still very cheap in this era, and this amount of money is enough to buy several sets of decent brand summer clothes.
"You brat, remember, you can't buy the ones with holes in them. There are also colorful ones with pretty flowers. If you dare to lie to us, you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
Zhao Lixia warned her that she originally considered letting Qin Shiqing follow her to keep an eye on her, but she was afraid of wasting other people's precious time reviewing their homework, so she decided not to.
"I know, Mother!"
Su Zelin took a few old people's heads with a smile and stuffed them into his trouser pockets.
"Keep this money safe and be careful of thieves!"
Zhao Lixia frowned.
"Don't worry, old man. If any short-sighted person in Jiang Lan dares to steal my money, Su Zelin, I will beat his head to pieces!"
Su Zelin was careless, but he told the truth.
He has been restless since he was a child. He fights every day, with his classmates, and with gangsters. He fights in countless neighborhoods. He is known for his fierceness and bravery. He can be called a street bully and is well-known in the circle.
.
Besides, hoodlums 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 fellow traveler or a master who is not easy to mess with.
No one will ask for trouble by doing nothing when they are full.
"How old are you? You know how to fight all day long!"
Zhao Lixia chattered a few more words, then she and Su Jianjun went out, rode on a Jialing, and left the alley.
In the car, Zhao Lixia said dissatisfiedly: "You, you, you are too indulgent to your son. You buy a few sets of clothes and give me so much money. What a loving father but a loser!"
"It's a good thing that my son wants to change his image. Besides, Zelin is more sensible than before. I had a chat with him last night and asked him what his plans are in the future. My son said he plans to start his own business after college!"
Su Jianjun drove the car and responded without looking back.
"Did he really say that?"
"Really, and I don't look like I'm lying, Zelin really wants to have his own ideas!"
"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, while I was 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!"
"Haha, it seems that our Zelin has really grown up!"
"..."
As soon as the two elders left the house, Su Zelin also rode a bicycle out the door.
Jianglan is still quite a small place. It has only been a few years since the county was removed and a city was established. You can count on your fingers the places where people often buy clothes.
The most discounted ones are the Central Market, Southern Market and other major markets.
Su Ze first ran around and found to his disappointment that almost all products were sold on the street. The styles and quality were not very good, and "Nike" and "Adidas" were everywhere.
The prices are very cheap. Some clothes cost 20 to 30 yuan, and you can even get a higher price. A 20% discount is no problem.
This is what Zhao Lixia told Su Zelin before going out. If you buy clothes in these two places, you must bargain. If the price is more than 20% off, turn around and leave. The stall owner will automatically call you back with "Just today" without walking five steps.
The transaction was concluded with excuses such as "the market is open", or "because you are a student, sell it cheaply".
Before his rebirth, Su Zelin wore all big brands, not because he was vain, but because the brand's clothes were made of good quality fabrics, which helped improve his image, and they were also comfortable to wear.
Besides, his family background is quite good, and he is sure to make money soon, so there is no need to wrong himself just to save so much money.
After visiting two markets, it is estimated that the other markets are basically the same. Su Zelin stopped wasting 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.
Wander all the way down the street.
Caesar, Old Man, Younger, and Jinba are all too old-fashioned and not suitable for young people, pass!
Su Zelin stopped when he reached the fifth shop.
This is a Jack and Jones store, focusing on denim and targeting young people.
That’s it!
The bicycle was parked in front of the store, and Su Zelin walked in.
"Hello, welcome!"
Jack Jones understands the psychology of young consumers very well. The shop assistants inside are all handsome men and beauties dressed in fashionable clothes, and the girls they serve are also quite eye-catching.
At present, there are not many domestic brands that focus on the youthful market. Merchants are not aware of the changes in consumer trends in the future. The brand's concept is in the right direction. At present, you can make money by opening a few specialty stores in any city.<
/p>
"Well, I want to see jeans, straight-leg ones!"
Straight-leg pants are a timeless style that will never go out of style.
Small speakers, large speakers, and models with small feet were once popular, but they either disappeared or were unable to take on the mainstream.
"Okay, please come this way!"
The girl shop assistant took Su Zelin to a certain part of the shop. They were all straight-leg jeans, with dozens of styles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Su Zelin glanced at it casually for a few times, then his eyes fell on one of them and picked it up casually.
"It has a certain amount of elasticity, good drape, and good breathability. It should be a blend of spandex and cotton, with a spandex content of about 30%!"
"Indigo dye is bright and bright, with a slight red light, and the bag cloth has no obvious staining!"
"Delicate feel and high thread count!"
"..."
Before the girl could introduce it, Su Zelin described it like a treasure trove, leaving the girl stunned for a while. Even she didn't recognize some of the terms.
Meet an expert!
But this handsome guy looks like a high school student, so why does he know so much...
Su Zelin fell in love with these pants at first sight. She quickly went to the warehouse to find the right size and looked at the wash label.
The spandex content is 31% and the cotton content is 69%.
Awesome!
Su Zelin tried it on, saw herself in front of the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.
This is a bit of a masculine look, the previous image was too cool!
His figure is like a clothes rack, and as long as he doesn't wear fancy clothes and has the right size, he can easily wear them.
The upper body of these straight jeans makes you look taller, and the key is that they are comfortable.
Pure polyester fiber clothes are elastic, soft and drape well, have good color and are not easy to fade. However, they are not breathable, do not absorb sweat, and are not good on the skin. Pure cotton clothes are just the opposite. They are breathable, absorb sweat and are skin-friendly, but have poor elasticity and drape.
Fading, so adding a certain proportion of polyester fiber blend to the cotton material is the most suitable material.
In addition, it also depends on the craftsmanship, such as the thread count, which also directly affects the skin feel and comfort.
I left the Jack Jones store with a pair of jeans. In this era of low consumption, I only spent more than 100 yuan. Compared with the 23 yuan street stalls in the market, Jack Jones in 2000 was considered a luxury.
.
I continued to visit other brand stores and bought a set of hip-hop style wide-leg shorts and loose T-shirts, an island country college style set, and a set of sportswear. I spent almost all my money in my pocket.
Carrying several large bags, Su Zelin left the famous street and went straight to a hair salon.
In addition to his old clothes, he is also dissatisfied with his hairstyle.
Although long hair with thick piles of 28 or 37 cents is not unconventional, it is even a popular classic in Hong Kong. Lin Zhiying, Guo Tianwang, Gu Zai, Zhe Zhongfeng all have this hairstyle, but Su Zelin ten years later
After all, people from the future who traveled back in time still feel that it is not refreshing enough, and it is also extremely hot in summer.
This is one of the most well-known hair salons in the small town. The fees are a bit expensive, but they can cut many avant-garde hairstyles, Hong Kong style and even European and American style, so Su Zelin chose it.
When I walked in, I directly named the director, described it personally, and asked him to do my hair. It was the hairstyle of Ke Zhendong, the male protagonist in the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". It was neither long nor short, just right, and it had the look of a young man.
If you are full of energy, you can add some mousse to your comb and add age at any time, making you look more mature.
The director's skills are good, and at least Su Zelin is quite satisfied with the results.
After the image improvement project was completed, it was almost noon, and he rode his bicycle leisurely back home.
Stopped at the convenience store at the entrance of the alley.
After walking around for a long time, the sun was so strong that Su Zelin's throat almost started to smoke.
"It's so hot, Uncle Chen, come and support the Arctic Ocean!"
Uncle Chen has owned 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 a polar bear logo from the refrigerator and handed it to him. He looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Hey, Zelin has become a handsome young man!"
Su Zelin couldn't stand her old old clothes any longer, so she bought new clothes on the spot after buying them on a famous street. With her short chopped hair style, she had a completely new look.
"Uncle Chen, what are you saying? It makes me look like I wasn't handsome before!"
Su Zelin protested.
Uncle Chen chuckled.
Although Su Zelin had a good face in the past, his dress was really not flattering, so he was a thick-skinned boy who was not afraid of being beaten. His own son also played the same trick before getting married, and he gave up after being whipped twice.
Shake it a few times and open the lid. Orange soda pops out with bubbles. Su Zelin takes a few sips.
The heart is cool and the heart is flying!
Phew, I feel comfortable now!
While sitting at the door drinking soda, Su Zelin also looked at the items in the convenience store.
Although the majong is small, it is well-equipped and sells a lot of daily groceries.
Su Zelin mainly focuses on snacks.
Malisin, Monkey King Dan, lard candy, shredded figs, whistling candy, popping candy...
Yes, popping candies are still for eating these days, and boys eat them too.
"Uncle Chen, here are two packets of sour plum powder!"
Su Zelin's childish innocence shines.
"You are such a big boy, why should you eat sour plum powder?"
Having said that, Uncle Chen still took out two packets of sour plum powder.
Su Zelin first fumbled through the small bag for a while before biting it open with interest.
After peeling away the pile of dark red powder, there was a small, flat plastic spoon hidden inside. The handle of the spoon was a Sha Monk figure.
This kind of sour plum powder is a three-no product, but it has once reached the ceiling of the street snack industry. The key is not how delicious it is, but the "treasure" inside.
The shape of the little spoon is random. It may be a series of cold weapons such as a knife, fork, sword, halberd, axe, hook and fork, or it may be a character from Journey to the West, or the twelve zodiac signs of dragon, snake, horse and sheep, or a series of gods such as Taishang Laojun Tathagata Buddha.
Even rarer are the European Gods series and the machine gun pistol submachine gun series.
Buying a pack of sour plum powder will give you the pleasure of fighting monsters and using equipment, which is not an ordinary thrill.
If a rare series of spoons comes out, just this spoon can be exchanged for several bags of sour plum powder, but most children will not be willing to exchange it.
Su Zelin ate hundreds of packs of sour plum powder when he was a child. He collected spoons not just for eating. He also kept a weapon set and a complete set of Journey to the West at home, as well as most of the sets for the Chinese zodiac. Unfortunately, he didn't get the rare spoons, which were a bit small.
A small regret.
I opened another pack and still had no luck. There are a lot of spoons from the cold weapon series, but they have no collection value.
Su Zelin was not disappointed either. Anyway, he just played around and poured the sour plum powder into his mouth. It was sour and sweet and tasted very good.
After finishing a soda, I was still not satisfied, so I 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, and they were children from nearby neighbors.
The two of them were sweating profusely while playing. The girl looked at the banana popsicle in Su Zelin's hand eagerly, and her saliva was almost drooling.
Su Zelin burst into laughter, and suddenly remembered that when he and Qin Shiqing were children, he asked Uncle Chen to bring them a box of "Seven Dwarfs".
"Thank you, brother!"
The two children were very happy.
Being able to eat a popsicle on such a hot summer day is their greatest happiness.
"Kid, 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 moment: "I have three, Qiqi has four!"
"Oh, why?"
Su Zelin was very interested.
"Because I am a boy, and my father said that boys should take care of girls, so Qiqi should eat one more!"
The little boy replied in an old-fashioned way.
"Very good!"
Su Zelin touched his little head.
"It can't be divided like this!"
The little girl suddenly spoke up.
"Oh?"
"Mom said things must be done fairly, so Xiaoqiang and I each took a lick of the last popsicle until we finished it!"
"You are a good boy too!"
Su Zelin gave her a thumbs up.
The two children ran away with popsicles.
Su Zelin was filled with emotions.
This is our childhood, so simple!
"Zelin!"
A gentle and gentle female voice came from behind.
But Qin Shiqing stood behind her at some point.
"How long have you been here?"
Su Zelin was slightly stunned.
Qin Shiqing did not answer, but looked at the two children's retreating figures, with a trace of nostalgia on her quiet face: "Back then, we ended up breaking up like this."
Well, she has been here for a while...
Thinking of something, Qin Shiqing's face suddenly turned a little red.
She and Su Zelin each took a lick of the last popsicle.
After a while, Qin Shiqing looked back.
Looking at Su Zelin in front of her, her beautiful eyes lit up and she was slightly surprised.
After being a neighbor for so long, this was the first time she saw her childhood sweetheart in his current state.
The thick long hair of three-quarters of an inch was cut off, replaced by refreshing short chopped hair. Slim straight jeans made his 1.8 meter tall figure appear more upright. Paired with a red and blue color-blocked T-shirt, the whole person
They all exude a casual and fashionable feel.
Very trendy!
It's not the "fake trend" of non-mainstream clothing in the past, but real taste. At least Qin Shiqing finds it very pleasing to the eye.
"Am I too handsome now to recognize you?"
Su Zelin waved his hand in front of her, and Qin Shiqing came back to her senses and spat: "That's not the case, stop being so pretty!"
Uncle Chen looked at the two of them with a smile.
In the boy and girl just now, he saw what Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing looked like back then.
When the girl from the Qin family wears her braids, she likes to run behind the boy from the Su family.
In the blink of an eye, these two children have grown up, and I have grown old too!
"Uncle Chen, two more Arctic Oceans!"
Su Zelin knew Qin Shiqing's taste without asking.
They both like the same soda.
We grew up together and were in the same class from kindergarten to high school. He understands 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 of them just sat outside the convenience store, slowly sipping soda, and neither of them spoke. It felt like they were back in the old days.
After drinking most of this soda, Su Zelin said again: "Qin Shiqing, promise me something!"
"What happened?"
Qin Shiqing asked casually.
"You must be admitted to Qingbei!"
Su Zelin said seriously.
In the previous life, Qin Shiqing was originally from the Northern Qing Dynasty, but for some unknown reason, she performed abnormally and finally got admitted to Zhejiang University in the same city in the province.
It was precisely because of this that the two had many opportunities to interact with each other during their college years, which led to him later falling in love with her.
Therefore, Su Zelin does not want to be like that in this life.
"I'll try my best, that's it, go home!"
Qin Shiqing put the bottle down, stood up and walked towards the alley.
"Hey, why are you walking so fast? I haven't finished drinking yet. Wait for me!"
