I don't know if my friends born in the mid-sixties of the last century, who at the age of sixteen or seventeen, watched a film that I don't know whether it is France or Britain, the name is - "Two Orphan Girls", until now, I don't remember the content of the film, but one of the heroines wore a coat, which still makes me unforgettable! It was a Mauni coat with a hat, with a pleated lace on the brim and cuffs, and the button on the chest was the kind of large button that many old aristocrats in French movies had, and as soon as the owner appeared, I immediately had a feeling of salivating for eight meters, and I thought: Hey, this dress is only available in foreign countries. At that time, I hated to be a foreigner! Ten thousand envy and loss in the heart.
About a dozen days after seeing the movie, when I almost forgot this dress, guess what? I actually saw a person on the street wearing a jujube red dress, the same style as in the movie, I was stunned, and after coming to my senses, I sighed: Hmm! China's imitation ability is really strong! Fast again!
I myself still have a phenomenon: once I see my favorite clothes or other wear, even if I didn't buy it at the time, but I always remember it later, then I can't wait to be snatched away by others, and immediately take the physical object for myself.
Imagine how surprised and crazy my heart was when I saw the clothes I had in mind being worn by others and appeared on the street! I was pleasantly surprised that China also has this style of clothes, and I was crazy about whether I could have it! I knew: these clothes can only be bought in big cities, but my home is a small forest area. How do I have the opportunity to go to the big city!
Finally, the opportunity came. The prescription of my myopic glasses can no longer keep up with my need to read and study, and we can't get it, and my parents pay attention to my studies, so they take advantage of my father's extreme doting on me (this doting, until my father has been away for more than thirty years, I am in my fifties, and I am still hated and ridiculed by my two sisters-in-law!). My father and I set off with our backpacks and headed straight to Harbin, the provincial capital, ——- – to get glasses! (And I thought: Will Harbin have this dress?) ）
When I was young, my family was very good! In the eighties of the last century, my family belonged to the first family to afford a black and white TV, and I bought pork for the New Year to buy half a pig, usually I dressed better than my classmates, and I wore a small watch when I was a freshman in high school, because of that small watch, and was criticized by the teacher without naming names, saying that some classmates' lives were corrupt. No wonder, some teachers at that time did not have watches. And my life is superior to others, thanks to the fact that my father is an ancestral carpenter, secretly cooking furniture for others at home and making windows and wooden doors for the countryside.
Got on the train in the middle of the night, nearly seven hours drive, and arrived in Harbin in the morning! At my first meal, my dad took me to a state-run Muslim restaurant! That's why I always complained that I didn't eat enough beef dumplings when I was a child. Because my brother was weaned when he was three or four years old, when he was hungry, I always went to the Muslim restaurant near my house to buy him two taels of dumplings, he was hungry, there were almost no dumplings left, I couldn't eat one, he was not too hungry, I could still solve the gluttony with the remaining two, I was four years older than my brother, I was also hungry! When I grew up, I complained about my mother, saying why she didn't buy an extra one or two for me to eat at that time, and my mother said: I'll let you eat, and your brother is watching! (At that time, my father died of salary at work and did not dare to do private work). My father and I asked for a pound of dumplings, and the waiter asked: Can you eat it? My dad said yes, but as a result, two large plates were served, my dad was dumbfounded when he saw it, he couldn't eat it at all, there was no way, he couldn't return, eat it, that amount, catch up with the current two catties. However, the dumplings are in the mouth, but they are not the taste of childhood, but fortunately, they are also dumplings, eat it! Eat to the middle, bite down, rattle, spit it out and see, a large piece of slag was crushed by me, a mouth full of sand, (at that time, the restaurant was all burned coal, cinder into the dumpling filling is normal), now I really can't eat! Eating beef dumplings in the future is always weird! When I can cook by myself, I rarely eat dumplings outside because they are not as delicious as I make!
After breakfast, I found a larger optical store, measured the degree, chose the frame, and explained to people: We came from a long distance, begged people to make glasses first, we can take them away in two days.
The glasses were solved, I told my dad about what I wanted to buy clothes, my dad led me to several big stores, (at that time it was called a store, not a shopping mall, and a famous Qiulin company, I don't know why it was called a company, my dad said it was related to Russians), from the morning after wearing glasses, my dad led me to sweep the store almost without falling down, all disappointed, there was no shadow of the clothes I wanted, when shopping, I also saw someone wearing the same type of clothes, I also pointed to my dad, my dad said: Well, it's really good-looking! This intensified my desire to own it, and I even thought: Did they buy it in another big city?
At nearly six o'clock in the afternoon, the shops were almost closed, and at that time the shops were closed around 5-6 o'clock, and my father couldn't walk, and said to me: Old girl, go around by yourself, I really can't walk. Then I found a roadside step and sat down, and I was so tired that I sat down, full of chagrin and frustration! was sitting, a person came down the steps from behind, I was a little in the way, so I stood up and moved to the side, just at the moment behind this station, I found that behind me was actually a one-story store, just when someone opened the door and went out, the store was facing the door, hanging the green, lace, large buckled Mauni coat that I thought about day and night, I didn't know how I got in, look carefully that it was indeed the dress, I came out and called my father, maybe my voice was too excited, so that after I entered the store, The clerk kept staring at me and asked, "Are you from out of town?" They could see that I really hadn't seen the world!
Next, I don't say you know, I have that dress! Dressed to school, it is not surprising that the teacher did not name and criticize: some students, not focused on studying, all day thinking about dressing themselves! I don't buy this dress for nothing, my classmates go out to wear it, classmates take photos to wear them, fat classmates can't tie the button and wear them with their chests open! I think my vision is good! I am happy with the family! I have a great sense of superiority among my classmates! It's just that my two sisters-in-law look strange when they see me wearing this dress!!!
