Mother's style at 28
Her mother was taken aback.
Green pepper potato shreds, red pepper mashed potatoes, potatoes braised with pork ribs, potatoes braised with chicken, winter melon slices, calabaza strips, scrambled eggs with green peppers... thinking back to the recent dishes, it seems that there's really nothing nutritious.
Suddenly, her eyes dropped in shame, and she fell into silence.
Her heart aching with no reason, Ye Cai hastily changed her tone: "No, no, mom, I was just talking nonsense. It's because I'm picky about food, it's because I didn't take good care of myself..."
Her mother lifted her face, pursed her lips and forced a smile, saying: "Don't mention this for now, come, Xiao Cai, try on these clothes and see if they fit."
While speaking, she put those clothes on the bed, Ye Cai lowered her eyes and took a glance. At this time, her mother picked up a pearl-embroidered puffy sleeve floral romper, held it high, and examined it against her figure.
Ye Cai stared at the dress in a daze and muttered: "Isn't this my sister's clothes?"
She changed her perspective, and her mother heard the words, raised her eyes, pursed her lips, and smiled quietly, "Hmm, what's wrong?"
She frowned and pouted, turning her face away, "I won't wear hers."
Her mother was taken aback, then the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she asked back: "Yesterday I washed two rabbit's pajamas, who wore them?"
Ye Cai's face turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head to avoid her mother's gaze, saying: "How was I supposed to know..."
"Alas, it's really hard to serve..." Her mother sighed and put the dress on the bed, then took out a pink thingy and handed it over to Ye Cai without even turning her head, "Put this on first."
As soon as Ye Cai took it in her hands and saw the pink vest, she suddenly looked surprised and shy, and made a gesture of returning it, saying: "I won't wear it."
Her mother glanced back and lightly rolled her eyes at her, "You don't have to wear it, who knows, you might even become an internet celebrity if someone takes a street snap of you..."
"What? Street snap!?!" Ye Cai's face turned pale with shock, as if she had suddenly recalled the infamous "Jie Cao Mei" who had once gone viral online.
Her mother calmly took the small vest from her hand, which was still in shock, and stepped back two steps, saying: "Raise your hands..."
Ye Cai returned to her senses, blinked in confusion, but saw her mother holding the small backpack with a resolute expression, and subconsciously raised her hands like a zombie.
The old lady was about to put the shoulder strap on her, when she suddenly tensed up, her hands shrinking back like a cat's claws to her chest, staring warily at her mother.
Seeing her like this, her mother seemed impatient and asked in a slightly raised tone: "Are you going to wear it or not?"
Ye Cai struggled painfully in her heart for a moment before gritting her teeth and nodding reluctantly.
She raised her chin and said, "Hands up."
Ye Cai's face was expressionless, like a zombie.
She slipped her arm through the shoulder strap and hung it from her elbow, her mother turned to her back, grasped the shoulder strap and stopped, saying "tighten your chest".
"Ah?" Ye Cai turned her face, full of astonishment and confusion, suddenly her eyes widened, and in an instant, they softened and became gentle, with a hint of spring, the pupils showed a bewildered color, her shoulders slumped and her neck shrunk, and she let out a soft cry.
"Oh no! Mom!"
Only saw her old mother behind her making a hugging gesture, with both hands holding her breasts and pushing them towards the middle, still rubbing them vigorously.
After rubbing, her mother withdrew her hand and said with a hint of a smile, "Understood?"
Yezhang's face turned red and he grunted in a stifled manner, neither affirming nor denying.
Mom grabbed the shoulder strap again and said, "Tighten your chest."
Ye Cai silently rolled her eyes and gazed up at the ceiling with her elbows bent and her chest squeezed.
Her mother pulled hard on the shoulder strap and gritted her teeth: "Is it tight enough?"
She rolled her eyes and pouted, remaining silent.
"In the future, you'll be crying and yelling but it won't do any good." Her mom didn't dwell on this issue either, hung the shoulder strap over her shoulder, and said: "Pick up those two straps down there."
Yè Cǎi gave herself a little adjustment to her small vest, and upon hearing this, she picked up the two long straps in front of her chest and handed them over to her back. Suddenly, she blinked her eyes and asked curiously: "What is external expansion?"
"Pull it out, roughly towards the direction of the armpit..." Her mom took over the neck strap, gently pulled it, and tied a bow with the two straps.
"Then won't there be no cleavage?" Seemingly having some idea, Ye Cai's eyes widened slightly in horror.
"Ah, of course, what did you think?" The old mother who had tied up her belt began to examine again.
Seemingly relieved, Ye Cai lowered her eyelids and shrugged: "Whatever, let's just expand then."
"Hmm, you're thinking about it, aren't you? Do you still expect AA to expand externally?" The old lady sneered and walked to the bedside to grab a blue and white striped towel, turned back and stuffed it into her hand without saying a word, then went back to the bedside to examine that dress again.
Ye Cai turned around and quickly put on her pants, still curious enough to ask: "What's AA again?"
Her mother glanced back at her and said lightly, "Hurry up and get dressed, so many useless words."
She pouted and puckered up her mouth, Yezai wore a good-looking fat second, curiously looked down carefully, then pinched it with her hand and pulled it up, revealing a small hill, looking exactly like a two-dimensional welfare sister, suddenly bursting into hearty laughter.
Her mother looked suspicious and turned around to see her unseemly posture, walked up and slapped her buttocks, saying: "Pay attention to the influence."
Ye Cai hummed and pouted, her lower lip drooping listlessly.
"Come on, put it on and let me see." At this moment, her mother took out that pinafore with pearl buttons, bubble sleeves and light pink floral print dress again.
She casually took it over, pondering how to put it on from left and right, and then threw it up loudly, starting to wear it from her head.
The sky was dark and the earth was chaotic, she put on a dress after a flurry of activity, then stood there blankly looking at her mother. Her mother was smoothing out wrinkles while slightly tilting her head to examine her, the corners of her mouth gradually curving up into a satisfied arc.
Walked a bit further, shook his head left and right, got annoyed from shaking, raised his chin and commanded: "Turn around so I can take a look."
She raised her chin high with a proud and arrogant attitude, opened her hands flat and lifted them up, pointed her toes, and quickly spun around in a circle on the spot.
"Tsk, too fast, will you or won't you turn?" Mom frowned in dissatisfaction.
Ye Cai thought she was being elegant and waved her hand, covering her forehead, pouting and shaking her head: "Really hard to serve..."
Mom tilted her head, looking at Ye Cai's reluctant and slow turn, sighed, feeling that it was just like this. The dress looked good, but it was all because of the intricate design of the dress itself. Under the contrast of her daughter's black long messy hair and rotten girl-like hairstyle, the elegant temperament was completely gone...
Regrettably shaking her head, the old mother picked up a black thing from the bed, tiredly let out a long breath, and handed it to Ye Cai: "Put this on, get ready to go out."
"Stockings!?"
"Wear underwear." Mom gave me a white eye.
Ye Cai puffed out her flat mouth, sat on the bed and put on her undershorts. Her mother let out a yawn and walked out of the room without a sound. When Ye Cai finished putting on her undershorts and was rolling around on the bed, her mother finally picked up a pair of pale pink doll shoes and tossed them onto the bedside, looking at her with a helpless expression before turning to leave.
She quickly climbed to the bedside, Ye Cai grabbed her shoes and took a look, got up and sat on the edge of the bed, put them on her small feet decisively, and carefully examined them with her legs bent.
More than ten minutes later, the old mother walked in with a pair of sunglasses on her forehead, carrying a bag and holding an umbrella in one hand.
"Xiao Cai, go wash your hands before going out."
"Ah." The obedient nodded and stepped into the bathroom with measured steps.
When she came out, her mother threw a super cool pair of sunglasses at her, and Ye Cai took them in her hand to admire them as she followed behind her mother.
In fact, most of her family's economic sources come from her mother, He Xiaoyun.
Just one beige long cashmere shawl that showcases the noble woman's temperament, perfectly interprets the elegant posture full of charm. As for how Ye Changhu married this strong and capable woman who has been flying around for half her life but made a fortune at home, it is currently unknown, roughly similar to the plot of a detective tracking down a flight attendant on a plane.
Wearing sunglasses, Yecai stepped out into the dark red scenery and arrived at the private parking lot. She rarely had the chance to ride in her mom's treasured red Volkswagen POLO, so when her mom pressed the key, she immediately opened the car door and jumped in, sitting in the front passenger seat and staring at her mom with a laughable expression.
She got into the car, and her mother skillfully started the engine, shifted gears, and the car suddenly moved backwards, followed by a faint sound coming from behind the rear of the car.
Ye Cai and her mother stared at each other in dismay.
