Because of Susie Qi, Elsa had a little fond of all kinds of clothes matching recently, and she had also improved a lot in dressing. In the past, she had no mood to dress up because she didn't pay attention to her appearance. Now when she looked at herself in the mirror, she would feel very comfortable after dressing up well.
She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked a bit strange, but her appearance was great with a smile.
The shopping guide saw her standing in front of the shop window, so she said to Elsa with a smile, "Miss, the clothes in our shop are very suitable for your subtle and elegant style. If you like it, you can come in and have a look."
It didn't matter if she just went to have a look. So Elsa walked in and looked carefully. Some clothes were indeed very good. When she was picking, someone behind her suddenly said, "Miss, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Hearing the gentle voice of this woman, Elsa turned around and saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties or sixties, who dressed herself up with good taste. That woman called her, but when Elsa looked back, she was shocked. Elsa asked, "What can I do for you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment and murmured to herself, "You look exactly like her."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Elsa turned to look at the clothes again. In a hurry, the woman said, "Miss, I am helping my daughter choose clothes. She didn't come. I see that your figure is similar to hers. I want to ask you to help me to try it on."
Hearing that, Elsa turned her head back. Seeing the kindness in her eyes, Elsa could not help but remember her mother. Nodding, she said, "Okay."
The woman carefully selected several clothes and looked at Elsa up and down. She said, "You are almost the same height. Miss, could you please help me to try them on?"
So the shopping guide came to help them in person.
As soon as Elsa got changed and walked out of the fitting room, the woman's eyes lit up and said cheerfully, "Great! That's wonderful. What do you think, miss?"
The style of the dress was a little conservative, which fit well with her own temperament and style. It looked very good. The low-key blue gray color was also her favorite style. She really had something in common with the woman in front of her. She smiled, "I think so. But I don't know what kind of style your daughter likes."
"You're right. She likes bright colors. Her hair is also different from yours. Your black hair is so beautiful. But my daughter got wine red. She said it is popular and fashionable."
As far as Elsa knew, nowadays most young people would perm their hair. However, she was reluctant to change her black hair into another style. This woman in front of her reminded her of her own mother, who had always sent her clothes before. Elsa thought that maybe her mother had also troubled other girls who were similar to her in terms of their size to buy clothes for her.
At the thought of this, she took the initiative to select a dress for the woman, which was more bright and stylish, and said, "Madam, look at this."
The woman took a look at it and said happily, "Wonderful."
"Then let me try this," Elsa offered.
When Elsa came out of the fitting room, the dress looked good on her. The woman said happily, "This one is nice."
They tried some other clothes and finally the woman bought three. "Don't you buy something for yourself?" She asked Elsa, looking at her empty hands.
"I'm just looking around. I don't want to buy clothes."
"Thank you so much. You have wasted so much time to keep me company. How about I give you one as a gift?" The woman asked kindly.
Hearing that, Elsa waved her hands in a hurry. "No, no, thanks. It was just lifting a finger to do these things. My mother and I don't live in the same city. It occurred to me that when my mother bought clothes for me, she would ask other girls to help her. It's not a big deal that everyone should help each other."
The woman laughed and said, "You are a honest girl. My daughter has been abroad and hasn't come back for a long time. You are about the same age as her. When I saw you, I really thought that I saw my daughter."
Without thinking too much, Elsa said, "When children are out, it's inevitable for mothers to worry about them. In fact, children also miss the parents very much, but for various reasons, they can't be with them."
Thinking of her own family, Elsa said with emotion.
"Yes, you're right. I totally agree with you." The woman's eyes got a little red. She felt even closer to Elsa now.
The cashier had calculated the money and the woman took out her wallet to pay by card. Outside came in a handsome man. As soon as Elsa saw him, she felt somewhat angry. Turning her face away, she walked towards the door.
"Hey, Elsa Xia. What a coincidence! We meet again."
Caspar Qiao was handsome and was well-known in Linchuan City. But Elsa always felt that when he spoke, he was a bit dandiacal.
