Zhou Lanxiang is not very familiar with Han Lirong, to be precise, she has been avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally.

Han Lirong has a straightforward temper and a sharp mouth, and almost everyone in the Han family except Grandpa Han has been taught her lessons.

She went to school in the county seat since she was a child, and later had a formal job in the city, and she married a cultural person in the city. People who can even teach their parents can open their mouths to teach a lesson, of course, will not be polite to Zhou Lanxiang, a little girl who is more than ten years younger than her and takes care of Grandpa Han.

Zhou Lanxiang was not less faulty by her face to face at the beginning, although it was not to the extent of embarrassment, but at that time she was also pampered by Grandpa Han, and her personality was used to being a little delicate.

Grandpa Han and Xiao Jin didn't say anything bad, did she let their grandparents and grandchildren change their usual habits after listening to her words?

I don't know if Han Lirong has complained to Grandpa Han, at least Grandpa Han has never said anything, he still looks at her with a smile every day, and she feels good about whatever she does.

It wasn't until Han Lirong came back next time that he went to find Zhang Guirong, I don't know what she said to Zhang Guirong, Zhang Guirong didn't have a seizure until two or three days after she left, Zhou Lanxiang didn't do anything right, she beat her hands if she didn't say a word, and Zhou Lanxiang was drawn by Zhang Guirong with a broom pimple for three consecutive nights, and she was bruised and purple on her body, and she came back to her senses.

Zhang Guirong picked out those faults, all of which Han Lirong had asked her to change but she didn't.

At that time, she was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was originally a character with no temper, and she didn't know how to resist when she was a child, and she was also a little unconfident in front of Han Lirong. After all, no matter how well Grandpa Han treats her, she is just a neighbor's child, but Han Lirong is Grandpa Han's favorite eldest granddaughter, and even Han Liguo, the eldest son and eldest grandson, has to be behind.

Since then, she has avoided Han Lirong, and when she comes, she makes excuses to go home. Fortunately, Han Lirong is already married, and most of the time she comes to see Grandpa Han during the New Year, so she has even more reason to hide home.

Sometimes she was afraid that Han Jin would pester her to go back, and she hid at her aunt's house early in the morning on the day her second daughter returned to her parents' house for several years, hiding too thoroughly, and she had only seen Han Lirong's husband's back a few times from afar for so many years, so that she didn't recognize it today.

Zhou Lanxiang watched Han Lirong and his wife walk away with anxiety on their faces, and then let out a long breath. The eldest aunt and eldest sister both said that she was too soft and easy to be bullied, but she didn't like to argue with people by nature, as long as she wasn't provoked, she usually passed if she could get by, so when she met a tough person like Han Lirong, she wanted to avoid it.

However, she and Han Lirong will not have a chance to meet in the future, so she doesn't have to worry about being found fault with her, and she is not afraid that she will sue Zhang Guirong, it's good!

Zhou Lanxiang felt that she was unproductive, and walked back happily.

She now has a huge sum of nearly 150 yuan in her hand, as well as a fifteen-foot cloth ticket and a seven-tael cotton ticket, so she can go to the department store to buy something!

The Daiichi Department Store is the largest department store in Ishihara Prefecture, with three floors above and below, one level higher than the prefectural government! Zhou Lanxiang had lived in the county for three years and was very familiar with this place, so she went directly to the second floor where fabrics and ready-to-wear were sold.

It's working time, and most of the people in front of the long fabric counter are rural people who have entered the city, and everyone is curiously pointing at the fabrics on the shelves inside the counter, counting the cloth tickets in their hands and the crumpled money to calculate how much to buy.

There must be dozens of people around, but there is no noise in front of the counter, and the countrymen have to be careful when they enter the city to even spit and spit, for fear of being caught by the red armband and fined for spitting.

The salesmen are accustomed to seeing the humble stuttering of the countrymen, and they answer with melon seeds and no match, and occasionally they are annoyed by the question and reprimand a few words, and the countrymen who are trained can only walk away in disgrace.

Zhou Lanxiang carefully looked at the fabrics on the shelves, and took a fancy to a piece of dark blue thin tweed and a piece of cotton fabric with small yellow flowers on a blue background, blue tweed can make an open-collar coat for Xiao Jin, he loves to pamper himself so much now, he will definitely like it, so he will keep it for him to wear for marriage!

There are dots of green leaves on the yellow flower cloth on the blue background, simple and lively and cute, it is very suitable for making a shirt or a cotton jacket, this color should be a new look this year, maybe Xiao Jin will have to get engaged after the New Year, and it will definitely have face for the woman to do an engagement!

Zhou Lanxiang walked into the counter, she had enough money on her, she had made clothes for so many years, her eyesight was enough, and she could see any material at a glance. So she didn't ask about the price, and she didn't negotiate with the salesman to bring her the fabric over to touch the quality like others, and directly asked the salesperson to invoice her, asking for nine-foot thin tweed and six-foot cotton.

The salesman opened the ticket and clamped it on a cardboard, pushed it down the wire on his head, and the cardboard with the ticket slid directly from the air to the cashier.

There were curious exclamations of children in the crowd, and although they lowered their voices, they were glared at by the salesman and muttered dirt buns.

Zhou Lanxiang went to the cashier to pay the money and cloth tickets, a thin tweed piece of eighty-one feet, cotton cloth seven cents and five feet, she handed over fifteen feet of cloth tickets and twenty yuan and seven cents, and the stamped bills were clamped on cardboard and returned to the counter along the wire.

Zhou Lanxiang returned to the counter, the salesman had already taken a bamboo ruler and began to measure the cloth for her, and just about to pull it, the salesperson's hand was pressed: "This comrade, wait a minute!" How much material is left? ”

Zhou Lanxiang turned her head and looked, it was really fate, she actually met Han Lirong again!

The salesman shouldn't know Han Lirong, just seeing that she was wearing a thick tweed coat with a shrewd and capable face, and at first glance, she was a city person with a formal job in a state unit, and immediately classified her into her own kind, so she really stopped: "This is the last horse, after selling these nine feet, there will be a cloth head left, and this batch of materials will be sold out." ”

Han Lirong was anxious when he heard this: "Comrade, you see that is the case, my brother-in-law is engaged, and he lacks a tweed coat, I heard that our county is coming, so I hurried to buy it, but I didn't think it was a step too late!" The wedding date is scheduled, just these days, my wife and I are busy with work, and we don't have time to go to the provincial capital, can you help me think of a way? ”

The salesman encountered this situation many times, and raised his chin at Zhou Lanxiang with a smile: "You go and discuss with her, they will buy blindly when they come to the countryside, and there will be no occasion to wear such good materials in their lives, maybe they will have to press the bottom of the box to attract insects, it is better to let it be given to you, and she can also use this money to buy a few more feet of labor cloth." ”

Han Lirong saw Zhou Lanxiang standing next to her, she frowned, and took a closer look before recognizing: "You are Zhou Lanxiang?" How did you get here? ”
