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 does he have the feeling that Sister Lan plans to stay in the county for a long time?
At this moment, even Lan Shu herself was not aware 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 doors and ask if there are any vacant rooms for rent.
Some people are willing to spend money to rent a house, and the landlord can earn a few more dollars every month. As long as there is a spare room at home, few people will refuse such a good thing.
Before choosing to rent a house, Lan Shu had already thought that the house she wanted to rent must have a large yard so that she could store the wheat bran she collected.
The two of them walked along the street and after asking several houses, they finally rented a house that met their requirements.
The landlady is a woman in her thirties. She has a teenage child at home. Her husband drives a large truck and only comes home every few days.
There are three bungalows in her house that are still empty and no one lives in them. The yard at home is also quite large, covering an area of fifty or sixty square meters.
Lan Shu negotiated a price with the landlady. She only rented two rooms and occasionally occupied part of the yard. The rent was six yuan a month.
After renting the house and getting the key, the two of them can go harvest wheat bran.
But before that, Lan Shu took a look at Xiaobai'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 he heard that Sister Lan wanted to buy clothes for himself, Xiaobai immediately refused.
But then, he heard Sister Lan say, "I'm not just buying it for you, I'm also going to buy two new clothes."
In the past month, she has lost more than 30 kilograms. Wearing her previous clothes is like putting herself in a cloth bag. When she came to the county this time, Lan Shu didn't bring any change of clothes, so she must be
I need to go to the mall.
After hearing what Sister Lan said, Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and did not refuse again.
So the two of them immediately set off and headed towards the county shopping mall——
…
Lan Shu naturally knows where the county shopping mall is.
The original owner came here several times before, and every year before the Chinese New Year, her brothers would bring her to buy new clothes.
The two came out of the landlord's sister-in-law's house, walked for a while, found the bus stop, and took the bus to the shopping mall.
Today's buses are not as convenient and fast as they were in later generations. They only run in a few minutes.
Lan Shu and Xiao Bai waited at the stop for more than half an hour before they saw the bus coming this way from a distance.
With the time they have to wait for the bus, they can actually walk to the mall.
But with Lan Shu's current physical strength, if she really had to walk there, she probably wouldn't have the energy to go shopping by then.
After getting on the bus, the two of them reported to the bus stop and bought their tickets.
The ticket is not expensive, only two cents per person.
Ten minutes later, the bus slowly stopped at a stop near the shopping mall, and as people flowed, the two of them got off one after another.
After personally experiencing a bus trip in the 1980s, Lan Shu felt that all her time was wasted on the road.
It is true that no matter what era you are in, traveling without transportation is inconvenient!
In this day and age, she doesn't think about buying a car for the time being, but she can still consider buying a bicycle.
…
At this time, on the second floor of the county mall, in the clothing area.
Xu Yunjie is shopping with his girlfriend Li Xiumei.
A month ago, a few days after Xu Yunjie and Lan Shu divorced, they received Li Xiumei who came from the city to the county seat to see him.
When they were in college, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei were in love for more than a year.
After graduation, because he had to fulfill his promise to return to the village and marry Lan Shu, he temporarily cut off contact with Li Xiumei.
Later, during the year when he went to work in the county town, he accidentally got in touch with Li Xiumei again.
They would write letters to each other every month. From the letters, Xu Yunjie learned that Li Xiumei still couldn't forget him, which gave Xu Yunjie the idea of divorcing Lan Shu and getting back together with Li Xiumei.
The last time they met, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei had resumed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
The two spent a day together, talking to each other about life and ideals.
When I left, I was reluctant to leave.
Later, Li Xiumei returned to the city for work, but they made an appointment to meet in a month.
This morning, Xu Yunjie picked up his girlfriend from the station. The two had beef noodles at a restaurant outside, and then went to the mall for a stroll.
"Yunjie, what do you think of this skirt?"
Li Xiumei fell in love with a mid-yellow long-sleeved floral dress with bright colors. She thought she would look good in this dress!
Although Xu Yunjie usually doesn't pay much attention to all kinds of clothes, he feels that Xiumei must look good in anything she wears because she is so thin.
Unlike Lan Shu, who is too fat to fit into this dress!
"Of course this dress is beautiful, how could your judgment 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.
On the side, Xu Yunjie heard that such a thin skirt cost sixteen yuan!
In addition to being surprised, I was also a little embarrassed.
Now he owes two hundred and fifty yuan to his co-workers. As for the eldest sister's fifty yuan, he is not in a hurry.
His monthly salary is only forty-six dollars. He originally planned to save some money and save thirty yuan every month to pay off the debt quickly, but now that he is buying clothes, he is afraid that the repayment of the debt will be delayed...
But then he thought again, and he reconciled with Xiumei, and it was the first time for him to go shopping with Xiumei after work, and it was okay to buy some clothes.
So Xu Yunjie gritted his teeth and paid the money!
Fortunately, he only paid his salary this month, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get the money at all——
On the side, Li Xiumei took the bag containing 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 broke off contact with Xu Yunjie due to family reasons, and he didn't care. As long as she returned to him, their relationship would remain the same as before!
After buying the skirt, not long after, Li Xiumei spotted a pair of black leather shoes at another counter.
"Yunjie, look at these shoes. The heels are not too high. They are just right for me to wear when I go to work."
Li Xiumei's previous leather shoes were a bit old, so now it's time to get a new pair.
"How much do these shoes cost?" Xu Yunjie didn't directly say buy them, but first asked the teller selling shoes.
"These shoes cost 18 yuan. They are lambskin shoes. The leather is soft and they are very comfortable to wear." The teller immediately introduced.
When Li Xiumei heard that the shoes were made of sheepskin, she liked the leather shoes even more.
After Xu Yunjie heard the price of the shoes, he couldn't listen to the introduction behind the teller.
The dress just cost him sixteen yuan. If he buys the shoes now, he will have nothing left from his salary this month except for food...
