Chapter 4 Borrowing Clothes

The boy was tall, more than 180 years tall, and he didn't look very old, sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although he was wearing a plain white shirt and black trousers, he couldn't hide his broad shoulders and narrow waist, as well as his straight and slender legs.

He stood at the head of the bridge, bowed his head slightly, and looked at the old lady beside him with soft eyes.

With just this glance, Lan Shu could judge that in addition to having perfect appearance conditions, the young man also had a kind heart that respected the old man.

Such a good-looking and virtuous young man, but he said something she didn't like to hear!

Lan Shu frowned, took the uneaten bun and walked in the direction of the young man, standing still in front of the other party in a few steps.

"You mean I'm fat, so I shouldn't go out?"

"Also, you are so good-looking, why do you speak so ugly, who is your eldest sister? I'm two or three years older than you at most, and I'm called Little Sister! ”

The sudden crisp questioning voice made Gu Jue slightly stunned!

Then the words 'little sister' made him can't help but sneer.

He looked up and saw that the girl who had just been said by his grandmother to be white and chubby was standing in front of him with a cold face and anger.

Gu Jue didn't expect that his casual words would anger others.

At this time, he was questioned face to face, and he was a little embarrassed.

But it's really wrong to speak ill of people, and he is about to apologize for his gaffe.

But in the next second, he heard the fat girl say in a straightforward and serious tone, "I can eat fat with my own ability, and I can lose weight with my own ability!" ”

Lan Shu said this, in addition to refuting others' casual evaluations of herself, she was also setting a goal for herself.

She's going to lose weight well! So that people can no longer find fault with her figure in the future!

Gu Jue on the side: ?

"Eat fat...... Or by ability? ”

It was the first time he had heard this novelty.

And it's not easy to lose weight, it takes persistence and strong endurance, he doesn't believe that the eldest sister in front of him, who can't even control her figure, can really lose weight as she said.

"Eldest sister, I really didn't mean to say your ...... just now"

Lan Shu's face sank!

Gu Jue on the other side understands in secondsβ€”β€”

He couldn't help laughing, but he still called out to the fat big sister, "Little sister." ”

"Humph! Not sincere at all. ”

Lan Shu snorted dissatisfiedly, but she didn't continue to care, she didn't really have much atmosphere for the young man in front of her, just a little warning.

With that, she had already turned around and was ready to leave.

But in the next second, she heard the young man's clean and clear voice sounding from behind her-

"Wait a minute." Gu Jue said, bent down and took out a long-sleeved shirt from the handbag that was placed at his feet, and handed it to Lan Shu.

"I'll borrow this for you." He said.

Lan Shu looked at the young man bowing his head slightly, his eyes fluttering, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Lan Shu: ??

Soon, the old lady on the side reminded, "Girl, my grandson borrowed your clothes to let you block your back." ”

Lan Shu's eyes widened when she heard this!

Her 'big aunt' has come silently!!

At this time, Lan Shu immediately took the clothes from the young man's hand without hesitation, and reluctantly tied the long sleeves around the waist of her bucket.

Looking up at the boy again, her eyes were not angry at all, but full of gratitude, "Thank you, I will return the clothes to you after I wash them." ”

After saying that, she bowed her head embarrassedly and turned around and left in a hurry.

…

As the sky gradually darkened, the light bulbs in the roadside vendors and shops turned on one after another.

Lan Shu had a light blue shirt tied around her waist and walked briskly towards the supply and marketing cooperatives not far away.

The supply and marketing cooperatives got off work at seven o'clock, and when she went late, she couldn't buy what she needed.

Now it has only been two years of reform and opening up, and the commercial development in 1980 is still very backward, there are too few channels to buy things, and the main daily necessities in the small county town can only be bought in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Therefore, the 80s, also known as the reform and opening up after the reform and opening up, was a golden age everywhere.

At this time, self-employed people do business, as long as they are diligent and willing to work, there is basically no loss of money.

Lan Shu thought about what kind of small business she would do after she divorced Xu Yunjie.

Don't seek to make money and make a fortune, at least you can make yourself a good and high-quality life in this era.

…

The supply and marketing cooperatives on Linfu Street are 100 square meters in size, and a long row of counters is divided into sections for tobacco, alcohol, non-staple food, fabrics, wool, a small number of finished clothes, and daily necessities.

Before coming, Lan Shu had confirmed that there are no sanitary napkins in the country now, and women come to their aunts and rely on toilet paper.

Most of the toilet paper in this era was about a foot long and half a foot wide, without any sealed storage, and it was divided into two grades according to the roughness and softness, which were one pound and four cents and seven cents.

Lan Shu bought two catties of seven-cent toilet paper, watched the employees of the supply and marketing cooperatives weigh a large stack of toilet paper with their bare hands without any cleaning measures, and then hastily handed it out from the counter.

Lan Shu: ......

Even if she doesn't have a habit of cleanliness, she doesn't think it's clean to use paper like this.

At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly had a decision in her heart-

Even if it is for herself, she wants to make sanitary napkins, a must-have for the majority of women, come out as soon as possible!

…

By the time I returned to the dormitory building with a large bundle of toilet paper, it was already completely dark.

Xu Yunjie hasn't come back yet, and it's probably more difficult to borrow money than he imagined.

As soon as Lan Shu entered the house and dealt with the 'disaster' brought by the eldest aunt, the door was knocked softly from the outer door.

When she opened the door, she saw that it was Sister-in-law He!

Although Sister-in-law He had a smile on her face, Lan Shu could see that her smile was somewhat unnatural.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, Lan Shu heard Sister-in-law He say apologetically.

"Sister Lan Shu, just after you left, Zhang Li upstairs came to my house, she saw those clothes and asked, and learned that the clothes were all sold to me by you, so she wanted to buy clothes from you too, and used the money she lent you to ...... before."

Before Sister-in-law He said this, she was worried that Lan Shu would be angry, but after she finished speaking, she saw Lan Shu smile gently.

"Of course you can~! I would also like to thank my sister-in-law He for helping me spread the news. Lan Shu said softly.

It doesn't matter whether Zhang Li learned about it by accident, or whether Sister-in-law He deliberately told Zhang Li the news.

Lan Shu has no idea of not paying back the money she owes, and she is willing to accept whether the neighbors ask for money or use clothes to pay off debts.

Merely......

"It's too late today, so let's go Sister-in-law He, tomorrow morning, the family members of our dormitory building who want to buy clothes at a low price can come to me, first come, first served, until the end of the pick."

Lan Shu said generously.

Sister-in-law He was stunned when she heard Lan Shu's words.

"Girl, aren't you planning to sell all your clothes?"

She had thought that Xu Gong's daughter-in-law might think it would be too troublesome to take away so many clothes after the divorce, so she was going to clean up some.

But looking at her current posture, it doesn't seem that she plans to clear part of it.
