"Do you still think that you are the little girl who didn't have to worry about anything before? Do you still think that you can still be as carefree as before you got married?"
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing this year? Already thirty years old!" Wang Xia's tone became more and more excited. At the end, she turned her head again, stared into Li Xiaoxiao's eyes, and pondered for a long time, as if waiting for Li Xiaoxiao's reply.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent, and she finally understood what Wang Xia meant.
Yes, Li Xiaoxiao had indeed imagined that she could still be as carefree as before, because no matter what kind of trouble she caused, someone would always stand up and settle it for herself.
In the past, there was my parents, then there was my sister, and then there was Fang Zhiqiang.
But Li Xiaoxiao himself also knew that those were just his short-term safe havens. It was impossible for him not to grow up throughout his life, and it was impossible for him to hide in such a safe haven for his whole life.
Growing up is an extremely cruel process. It not only requires us to have the courage to get rid of our immaturity, but also to accept the worldly things that we once hated so much. This is a kind of self-destroying soul. If you can successfully pass this stage, you will become a better person, or in other words, a person more suitable for living in this society.
However, many people stop at this stage, not because they have no courage, let alone because they cannot accept those things, but because their nature is not that kind of person, forcing Doing something you don't like is a tiring experience, and that feeling can sometimes really destroy a person's strength.
"Sister, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I am no longer as naive as I used to be. I know that I should mature, for the sake of my parents, myself, and those around me. For everyone who cares about me." Li Xiaoxiao lowered his head and did not look at Wang Xia, but his tone was extremely sincere.
"No, Xiaoxiao, although you have such thoughts in your heart, in fact, what you do is still immature. Including the words you just said, it shows that you are still If you stay still, you have really stayed at home for too long. This society is changing much faster than you think. If you don't go out and get in touch with new things, it will be difficult for you to get out of your current comfort zone." Wang Xia said these words to Li Xiaoxiao seriously.
The reason why she was so cruel to Li Xiaoxiao just now was just to finally say these words, hoping to make Li Xiaoxiao suddenly realize.
But Wang Xia also knows that it is actually very difficult for her to achieve this goal, because Li Xiaoxiao has always grown up in a greenhouse, and she has never experienced the windFighting in the rain, the experience that gave her the most training was probably the time when she recovered Yami, but during that time, she always had Fang Zhiqiang by her side, and even if she failed in the end For them, it is not that they have lost something they depend on for survival. In other words, they always have endless escape routes.
Li Xiaoxiao has never experienced that feeling of no retreat, but Wang Xia has experienced it. Wang Xia knows that Fang Zhiqiang has also experienced it. This is why Li Xiaoxiao always seemed to be One of the reasons for not fitting in with others.
"Sister, what do you think I should do now?" Li Xiaoxiao is a little confused. She really wants to change herself, and she also wants to make herself better and better, but she is always unsatisfactory. , and even many times, she couldn't even find a way.
“I can’t teach you this kind of thing, you can only realize it slowly by yourself. If one day, you find a way to make yourself more mature, then this method will definitely guide you in the future. A higher place, but this method must not be what others tell you." Wang Xia said seriously.
Everything she has experienced cannot be shared. She does not know if there is another woman in this world who has an experience very similar to her own. Maybe, not Is there such a coincidence?
Therefore, she could not give Li Xiaoxiao any substantive advice.
Li Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something. She knew what Wang Xia meant and knew where she should go next. As long as she could find her own way, she would remain unswerving. If you keep walking, you will eventually clear away all the clouds and fog.
However, the biggest problem for Li Xiaoxiao now is Xiao Ai Li.
Without Xiao Ai Li, Li Xiaoxiao would have had many choices and could have traveled far away alone. However, with the fetters of Xiao Ai Li, many of Li Xiaoxiao’s ideas could not be put into action.
Li Xiaoxiao would not feel relieved if she left it to her parents. On the one hand, it was because her parents were already old. On the other hand, Li Xiaoxiao always felt a little uneasy when her little Ai Li was not with her. .
The two of them came to a commercial street together. It was around three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was pretty good today. There was no dazzling sun. Although the whole street seemed a little crowded, the temperature was not high.
“Let’s go, now that we have started a new life, let’s start with this outfit!”
Wang Xia looked Li Xiaoxiao up and down, and after a moment, a look appeared on her face With a smile, he spoke.
"Forget it, it's inconvenient for me to have a child." Li Xiaoxiao waved her hands and said.
"What's the inconvenience? My childGive me! "Wang Xia picked up the child in Li Xiaoxiao's arms, and took Li Xiaoxiao into the store with the other hand.
Wang Xia could feel that Li Xiaoxiao no longer has She used to be so confident. In the past, Li Xiaoxiao walked on the street with her head held high, as if she was radiating light. But now she is too embarrassed to even enter a clothing store. Once a woman loses her confidence, she will Without spiritual energy, the impact is very big.
In fact, Li Xiaoxiao recovered very well after giving birth. It may be because she was recovering from a serious illness during that time. Her physical condition was not particularly good to begin with, so her figure She quickly returned to normal and was even thinner than before.
Now she doesn’t look like a woman who has given birth to a child at all.
Wang Xia I want to make her confident again. Only in this way can she be dazzling again and be her confident self again.
The store picked out a dress for Li Xiaoxiao, which looked very fashionable. Xiaoxiao waved her hand and refused, saying: "Let's forget it, this outfit is too ostentatious and I don't like it very much. ”
“What’s so ostentatious about this? When you go home and look through your own closet, there are many things more ostentatious than this! "Wang Xia took the clothes from the store's hand and said while handing them to Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao heard this, although she was still a little embarrassed, but she had to take the clothes and leave. Entering the fitting room.
When he came out of the fitting room, Li Xiaoxiao kept his head down. The first thing he looked at after coming out was not at the mirror, but at Wang Xia.< br />
Sometimes, people’s inferiority complex is engraved in their bones and will be revealed inadvertently.
In the past, when Li Xiaoxiao just put on new clothes, she must have been very happy. When she ran to the mirror, the first thing she looked at was herself in the mirror.
But now, what she cared about most was not herself, but herself in Wang Xia's eyes.
< br /> “What are you looking at me for? Look in the mirror! "Wang Xia raised her hands to Li Xiaoxiao with a look of helplessness.
Li Xiaoxiao walked towards the mirror, took a look at herself inside, and then said: "I'll just say it's too ostentatious. She doesn't look like a mother with a child! ”
“Who says mom can’t dress herself up? Who says you can’t wear flashy clothes when you have kids? Xiaoxiao, why have you become so timid now? "Wang Xia stepped forward and said.
"I don't think this is pretty? There's a bit of the flavor of your old girlhood..." Wang Xia nodded while admiring Li Xiaoxiao in the mirror.
"Come on, still be a girl..." Li Xiaoxiao finally saidHe smiled and said.
“It’s true! If you don’t believe me, just ask someone else!” Wang Xia turned her eyes to the shopkeeper on the side.
The store owner was a woman in her thirties. When she saw Wang Xia’s eyes, she immediately said, "Yes, beauty. You can never tell that you are a beauty when you put on these clothes." You are the mother of your child! And your figure..."
The store owner's complimenting skills are naturally the most professional. Even Wang Xia on the side couldn't help but applaud again and again, just like before Compared to the words he said, it was like heaven and earth.
It’s just that Li Xiaoxiao never likes to listen to their sweet words, no matter it was in the past or now. She looked at herself in the mirror and finally felt slightly intoxicated. When she stood up, her figure was still as graceful as before, and her face had not been marked by the cruel years. Looking at herself like this, Li Xiaoxiao seemed to feel that she had really returned to her girlhood.
"That's it, wrap it up." After staring at herself in the mirror and studying for a moment, Li Xiaoxiao finally turned around, said something to the store, and walked to the fitting room.
The store owners were naturally extremely happy. Meeting such a generous buyer was naturally the happiest thing they had ever encountered in a day.
When Li Xiaoxiao was changing clothes inside, Wang Xia walked slowly to the store and whispered: "How much does this outfit cost?"
"Beauty, This dress is made of imported fabrics and is purely handmade. The total price is 3,680." The store owner was in a very good mood at the moment, and when he told Wang Xia the price, he smiled sincerely.
"Huh?" After hearing this, Wang Xia couldn't help but open her mouth, and then touched her bag.
"What? Do you think... the price is a bit high?" The store owner glanced at Wang Xia's expression and movements, then frowned in confusion and asked.
Because in the eyes of the store, Wang Xia didn’t want to be a poor woman, and the clothes Wang Xia was wearing cost several thousand yuan anyway.
Wang Xia smiled awkwardly and said, "No."
"If you think it's appropriate, you can apply for a membership card in our store for future shopping. You can enjoy a 20% discount!" The store owner smiled again.
"How about this? We still have to go shopping over there, and when we come back later, we can come over to check out. This is just on our way, how about it?" Wang Xia looked at the store owner so seriously. After the introduction, he didn't want others to waste his efforts, so he immediately said this.
"Um...of course." The store owner was slightly stunned, but still clicked with a smile on his face.He nodded, obviously to avoid embarrassing Wang Xia.
Li Xiaoxiao finally walked out at this time, holding the clothes he had just changed into and handing them to the store.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go to the front and check out later." Wang Xia stepped forward and took Li Xiaoxiao's arm and said softly.
"Huh? Why?" Li Xiaoxiao obviously didn't know what just happened, and looked confused.
When buying clothes before, I would just pack them up and take them away, or even wear them directly. This has never happened before.
After Wang Xia forced Li Xiaoxiao out, Li Xiaoxiao still looked puzzled.
Wang Xia had no choice but to explain: "The outfit just now cost more than three thousand yuan!"
"It's more than three thousand yuan, which is not very expensive..." Li Xiaoxiao said Halfway through, they suddenly reacted, and then looking at Wang Xia's surprised expression, both of them couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
This is the first time that Li Xiaoxiao has run away because shopping is too expensive. Li Xiaoxiao’s feeling is still a little wonderful.
