Chapter 22 County Mall
Knowing Sister Lan's thoughts, Xiaobai suddenly felt that Sister Lan really came to the county just to collect wheat bran?
Why did he have the feeling that Sister Lan planned to stay in the county for a long time?
At this moment, even Lan Shu herself didn't realize that she subconsciously wanted to stay in the county...
…
It is not difficult to rent a house in the county. You only need to knock on the door from door to door to ask if there is any free room for rent.
Some people are willing to spend money to rent a house, and the owner can earn a few dollars more per month. Such a good thing, but if there are spare rooms in the family, few people will refuse.
Before choosing to rent a house, Lan Shu had already made up her mind that the house she wanted to rent must have a large yard, so that the wheat bran she collected could be accommodated.
The two walked along the street, and after asking several families, they finally rented out a house that met their requirements.
The landlord's sister-in-law is a woman in her thirties. There is a child in her teens at home. Her husband drives a large truck and only comes back once every few days.
There are three bungalows in her house that are still vacant, and the yard of the house is quite large, about fifty or sixty square meters.
Lan Shu negotiated the price with the landlord's sister-in-law. She only rents two rooms, and occasionally occupies a part of the yard. The rent is six yuan a month.
After renting the house and getting the keys, the two of them can go to collect wheat bran.
But before that, Lan Shu glanced at Xiao Bai's big brother's clothes...
Let's go to the mall first and buy two new sets of clothes. Lan Shu said.
As soon as she heard that Sister Lan wanted to buy clothes for herself, Xiaobai immediately refused.
But immediately, he heard Sister Lan say, Not only for you, but I'm going to buy two new clothes to wear.
In the past month, she has lost more than 30 catties. Wearing the clothes she used to wear on her body is like putting herself in a cloth bag. When she came to the county this time, Lan Shu didn't bring a change of clothes, so it must be Going to the mall.
Hearing Sister Lan's words, Xiaobai hesitated for a while, and did not refuse again.
So the two immediately set off and headed towards the county shopping mall——
…
Where is the location of the shopping mall in the county seat, Lan Shu naturally knows.
The original owner had been here several times before, and every year before the Chinese New Year, her brothers would bring her here to buy new clothes.
The two came out of the landlord's sister-in-law's house. After walking for a while, they found the bus stop sign and took the bus to the mall.
Today's buses are not as convenient and fast as they are in later generations, and they run every few minutes.
Lan Shu and Xiao Bai waited at the station for more than half an hour before they saw the bus approaching from a distance.
With this waiting time for the bus, they can actually walk to the mall.
It's just that with Lan Shu's current physical strength, if she really wants to walk there, she probably won't have the strength to go shopping by then.
After getting on the bus, the two reported to the stop and bought tickets.
Tickets are not expensive, 20 cents per person.
Ten minutes later, the bus slowly stopped at a stop near the shopping mall, and the two got off one after another following the flow of people.
Having personally experienced a bus trip in the 1980s, Lan Shu really felt that her time was wasted on the road.
It is really inconvenient to travel without transportation no matter what era you are in!
In this day and age, she doesn't want to buy a car for the time being, but she can still consider buying a bicycle.
…
At this time, the second floor of the county shopping mall, the clothing area.
Xu Yunjie was shopping with his girlfriend Li Xiumei.
A month ago, just a few days after Xu Yunjie and Lan Shu divorced, they received Li Xiumei who came from the city to the county to see him.
When they were in college, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei dated for more than a year.
After graduation, because he had to fulfill his promise to go back to the village and marry Lan Shu, he temporarily cut off contact with Li Xiumei.
During the year when he went to work in the county, he accidentally got in touch with Li Xiumei again.
They would write to each other every month. From the letter, Xu Yunjie knew that Li Xiumei still couldn't forget him, which made Xu Yunjie think of divorcing Lan Shu and being with Li Xiumei again.
The last time they met, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei resumed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
The two stayed together for a day, talking to each other, talking about life and ideals.
When they leave, they are reluctant to part.
After that, Li Xiumei went back to the city because of work, but they made an appointment to see each other in a month.
This morning, Xu Yunjie picked up his girlfriend from the station. The two ate beef noodles at a restaurant outside, and then went to the shopping mall for a stroll.
Yunjie, what do you think of this dress?
Li Xiumei fell in love with a bright yellow long-sleeved floral dress. She thought she would look good in this dress!
Although Xu Yunjie doesn't pay much attention to all kinds of clothes, he thinks that Xiumei is so thin, she must look good in anything.
Unlike Lan Shu, who is too fat can't fit into this dress at all!
Of course this dress is beautiful, how can your vision be wrong? Xu Yunjie said to Li Xiumei with a smile.
These words immediately pleased Li Xiumei, Then I want this skirt~!
After she finished speaking, the teller immediately quoted the price of the dress.
Aside, Xu Yunjie heard that such a thin skirt cost sixteen yuan!
In addition to being surprised, there is also some embarrassment.
Now he owes his co-worker 250 yuan, but as for the 50 yuan owed by his elder sister, he is not in a hurry.
His monthly salary is only forty-six. He originally planned to save money, save thirty yuan a month, and pay off the debt quickly, but now that he buys clothes, he is afraid that the repayment of the debt will be delayed...
But he thought about it again, he just reconciled with Xiumei, and it was the first time he went shopping with Xiumei after work, and shopping for clothes made sense.
So Xu Yunjie gritted his teeth and paid the money!
Fortunately, he only paid his salary this month, otherwise he would not be able to pay at all——
On the side, Li Xiumei took the bag of clothes from the teller, with a smile on her happy face.
She knew that Xu Yunjie loved her very much, so she was willing to spend money for her.
Even after they graduated a year ago, she cut off contact with Xu Yunjie because of family reasons, he didn't care, as long as he returned to him, their relationship would remain the same as before!
After buying the dress, not long after, Li Xiumei spotted a pair of small black leather shoes at another counter.
Yunjie, look at these shoes, the heels are not too high, they fit me right when I go to work.
Li Xiumei's previous leather shoes were a bit old, and now she just bought a new pair.
How much are these shoes? Xu Yunjie didn't directly say to buy, but first asked the teller who sold the shoes.
These shoes are eighteen yuan. They are lambskin shoes. The leather is soft and comfortable to wear on the feet. The teller immediately introduced them.
When Li Xiumei heard that the shoes were made of sheepskin, she liked the shoes even more.
After Xu Yunjie heard the price of the shoes, he couldn't listen to the introduction from the teller.
The dress just now cost him sixteen yuan. If he bought the shoes now, there would be nothing left of his salary this month except for food...
