Chapter 4 Borrowing Clothes

The boy is tall and straight, with a height of more than 180. He looks young, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although he was only wearing an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, he couldn't hide his wide shoulders, narrow waist, and straight and slender legs.

He stood at the end of the bridge, lowered his head slightly, and looked softly at the old lady beside him.

With just one glance, Lan Shu can tell that apart from having a perfect appearance, the young man also has a kind heart that respects and loves the elderly.

Such a good-looking boy with good moral character, but he said something that she didn't like to hear!

Lan Shu frowned, took the unfinished buns and walked towards the boy, and stood in front of the boy with 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 badly, who do you call me big sister? I'm at most two or three years older than you, so I call you young lady!"

The sudden crisp questioning voice made Gu Jue slightly startled!
Then the word 'Miss Sister' made him sneer.

He looked up, and saw the girl who had just been called white and fat by his grandmother, standing in front of him with a cold face and angrily.

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

He was a little embarrassed when he was questioned face to face.

But it's wrong to speak ill of people, and he was about to apologize for his slip of the tongue.

But in the next second, he heard the fat girl say confidently and seriously, "I can gain weight by myself, and I can lose weight by myself!"

When Lan Shu said this, she was not only trying to refute other people's random evaluation of her, but also setting a goal for herself.

She wants to lose weight!Let people never find fault with her figure in the future!
Gu Jue at the side:?
"Eating fat...is it still based on ability?"

It was the first time he heard this novel statement.

Moreover, losing weight is not an easy task, it requires 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.

"Sister, I really didn't mean to say you just now..."

Lan Shu's face darkened!
Gu Jue on the other side understood in seconds——

He couldn't help laughing, but he still called out to Big Sister Baipang, "Miss Sister."

"Hmph! Not sincere at all."

Lan Shu snorted in dissatisfaction, but she didn't continue to care about it. In fact, she wasn't too angry with the young man in front of her, she just warned him a little.

After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

But in the next second, she heard the boy's clean and clear voice from behind——

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

"I'll borrow this for you," he said.

Lan Shu watched the young man lower his head slightly, his eyes drifted, and the tips of his ears turned red.

Lan Shu:? ?

Soon, the old lady on the side reminded me, "Girl, my grandson borrowed your clothes to let you block him from behind."

Lan Shu's eyes widened when she heard that!

Her 'big aunt' has come without a trace! !
Now Lan Shu took the clothes from the boy's hand without hesitation, and tied the long sleeves around her bucket waist with some difficulty.

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

After finishing speaking, she bowed her head in embarrassment, turned around, and left in a hurry.

...

The sky gradually darkened, and the light bulbs in the roadside vendors and shops lit up one after another.

With a light blue shirt tied around her waist, Lan Shu walked quickly towards the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.

The supply and marketing agency gets off work after seven o'clock, and if she goes there late, she won't be able to buy what she needs.

It has only been two years since the reform and opening up. In 1980, commercial development was still very backward. There were too few channels for shopping. The main daily necessities in small counties still had to be bought in supply and marketing cooperatives.

Therefore, the 80s is also called the golden age after the reform and opening up by later generations.

At this time, self-employed people do business, as long as they work hard, there is basically no loss of money.

Lan Shu thought about starting a small business after she and Xu Yunjie divorced.

If you don't seek to make money every day and make a fortune, at least you can live a good and high-quality life in this era.

...

The inside of the supply and marketing cooperative on Linfu Street is [-] square meters in size. There are a long row of counters with tobacco, wine, non-staple food, fabrics, wool, a small amount of finished clothes, and daily necessities.

Before coming here, Lan Shu had already confirmed that there are no sanitary napkins in China, and women come to aunts, all relying on toilet paper.

Most of the toilet paper in this era is about one foot long and half a foot wide, and there is no large paper for sealed storage. According to the degree of roughness and softness, it is divided into two grades, which are [-] cents per catty and [-] cents per catty.

Lan Shu bought two catties and seventy cents of toilet paper, and watched the employees of the supply and marketing agency weigh a large pile of toilet paper on the scale with their bare hands without any cleaning measures, and then handed it out from the counter in a hasty bundle.

Lan Shu: ...

Even if she doesn't have a cleanliness, she still feels that using paper like this is not very clean.

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

Even if it's for herself, she wants to make sanitary napkins, a necessity for women, available as soon as possible!

...

When I returned to the staff dormitory building with a large bundle of toilet paper, it was completely dark.

Xu Yunjie hasn't come back yet, probably borrowing money is more difficult than he imagined.

As soon as Lan Shu entered the room and dealt with the 'disaster' brought by her aunt, there was a soft knock on the door from the outer door.

She opened the door and saw that it was Mrs. He!

Although Mrs. He had a smile on her face, Lan Shu could tell that her smile was somewhat unnatural.

Just wondering what happened, Lan Shu heard Mrs. He say apologetically.

"Sister Lanshu, after you left just now, Zhang Li from upstairs came to visit my house. When she saw those clothes, she asked and found out that you sold them to me. She wanted to buy them from you." Clothes, use the money she lent you to pay for..."

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

"Of course I can~! I also want to thank Mrs. He for helping me spread the news." Lan Shu said softly.

It doesn't matter whether Zhang Li found out by accident, or Mrs. He deliberately told Zhang Li the news.

Lan Shu has no intention of not repaying the debt. Whether the neighbors ask for money or take clothes to pay off the debt, she is willing to accept it.

only……

"It's too late today, how about this, sister-in-law He, tomorrow morning, any family members in our dormitory who want to buy clothes at a low price can come to me, first come, first served, until all are finished."

Lan Shu said it openly.

When Mrs. He heard Lan Shu's words, she was stunned.

"Sister, don't you plan to sell all your clothes cheap?"

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

But judging by her current posture, it seems that it is not as simple as planning to clear part of it.
