As Ru Jia picked up the receipt from the ground, the sales clerk's previously impatient face immediately put on a smile: "Comrade, is that bicycle outside yours?"

Yu Rujia followed her gaze and turned to look at her bicycle. After glancing at the bicycle ticket in her hand, she had already guessed the saleswoman's purpose.

Yu Rujia took the bicycle from her spatial storage and didn't need a ticket. The police-issued bicycle ticket was indeed useless, and she also had bicycle tickets that Chen Tianming had collected for her in her spatial storage, so she didn't have to worry about not having them when needed.

Yu Rujia replied, "Yes."

The saleswoman lowered her voice and said, "Comrade, it's like this, my name is Guo Xiaojie, I wanted to ask if you could transfer this bicycle ticket to me?"

She was a saleswoman and had firsthand information about the bicycles that came in. Unfortunately, bicycle tickets were hard to come by, and she had been unable to buy a bicycle despite her desire to do so.

Yu Rujia isn't one to keep people in suspense, and she's not short of money. If the price she offers is right, she'll transfer the contract. If not, she won't.

Connections are a good thing, but she doesn't necessarily need to make friends with everyone, so there's no need to consider her feelings.

Yu Rujia: "How do you want to turn around?"

Guo Xiaojie: "I have money, receipts, and goods. Which do you want?"

Yu Rujia: "Oil coupons, industrial coupons, light bulb coupons, shoe coupons, all of these are acceptable."

After discussing it, Yu Rujia received five oil coupons, five shoe coupons, three light bulb coupons, and a bunch of industrial coupons.

Both parties are satisfied with the deal.

Through this transaction, Guo Xiaojie learned that Yu Rujia was not short of money, and she intended to build a good relationship with her by telling her about some of the internal goods of the supply and sales cooperative.

So Yu Rujia took a bunch of goods, and just as she was about to move some of them to the bicycle, a familiar voice caught her attention: "I want that red cloth."

Yu Rujia was carrying too many goods in her arms, which blocked her view. Hearing a familiar voice, she moved the goods in her arms and found that the person who wanted the cloth was actually Wan Qiuju. At this time, she was accompanied by a man who looked to be about fifty years old.

When Wan Qiuju first arrived at the Shangfen Brigade, she was covered in fat.

After enduring hardship for more than half a year in Shangfen Brigade, she lost all her fat, her face developed more wrinkles, and she became much darker. Now she wears thick makeup and dresses up specially.

The elderly man beside her said with a beaming smile, "Qiuju, this red cloth suits you. When we get married, you can wear the wedding dress made of this cloth and wait for me to come and fetch you."

Wan Qiuju pushed him away shyly, saying, "You shameless thing, how can you say such things here?"

The elderly man said nonchalantly, "We're getting married soon, which is a good thing. Why can't we tell everyone? I wish everyone knew about our happy occasion."

Yu Rujia carried her things to the bicycle, listening to Wan Qiuju flirting with the man, while thinking to herself, Wan Qiuju doesn't seem to have divorced Huang Jingbei, does she?

To dare to commit crimes in this era is incredibly audacious.

However, neither of them are good people, so let them do whatever they want, it has nothing to do with her anyway.

That's what she thought, but when Wan Qiuju came out with the cloth and saw Yu Rujia tying things to her bicycle, a hint of panic appeared on her face.

When Wan Qiuju came in, Yu Rujia's face was obscured by the goods, so she didn't connect her with the acquaintance.

Afterwards, Wan Qiuju spoke to Guo Xiaojie with her back to her, making it even harder for her to see Yu Rujia, who was busy at the door.

So much so that I didn't see her alive until I was about to leave the supply and marketing cooperative after buying my things.

Yu Rujia pretended not to know her and continued tying things up. Seeing this, Wan Qiuju did not linger and pulled the man away quickly.

Yu Rujia also heard the man's puzzled voice: "Qiuju, don't rush, we have plenty of time, take it slow..."

Wan Qiuju was flustered when she was caught red-handed. She had offended Yu Rujia before, and now Yu Rujia had caught her talking about marriage with another man before her divorce. Would Yu Rujia report her?

Yu Rujia was unaware of her thoughts, and even if she had, she wouldn't have bothered with her unless she came knocking on her door.

When Yu Rujia returned home with the things she had bought, she took out a large pile of things from her spatial storage before the little ones arrived.

As soon as I put my things down, the little ones came running over after hearing the noise.

Duolu came running in with his short legs, and when he saw the pile of things in front of him, he happily circled around: "Auntie, you bought so many things! Is there anything delicious?"

Duofu had already started helping Yu Rujia pack her things.

Yu Rujia replied, "I bought a lot of meat. I'm waiting for Auntie to cook something delicious for you."

Duoshou stretched out his chubby little hands and touched the pieces of cloth, asking, "Auntie, there's so much cloth! Are you going to make us new clothes?"

Yu Rujia: "Yes, there are several colors here. Which one do you like? Auntie will make clothes for you using the fabric you choose later."

Duo Shou happily pointed to a piece of off-white printed fabric: "Auntie, I want to use this fabric to make clothes."

She bought four bolts of cloth from the supply and sales company this time, but thinking that she wouldn't always be so lucky, she took out four more bolts of cloth from her spatial storage when she got home.

This off-white printed fabric is the kind she kept in her courtyard house. People with fair skin look very elegant and comfortable wearing clothes made of this fabric.

It was the best fabric among the eight bolts of cloth. She took it out to use herself. Duo Shou had a sharp eye and picked out the best one from the pile of fabrics at a glance. No wonder she was the most fashion-loving child among the four little ones.

Yu Rujia: "The clothes made from this fabric get dirty very easily. Auntie can make them for you, but after they're finished, you have to take good care of them and not let them get all dirty."

Gao Shujing was still washing the clothes at home. Yu Rujia thought to herself that Duoshou was over two years old and perhaps he could start washing his own clothes. Summer clothes were thin, so she could let them learn first.

Once Gao Shujing is done with his work, he can teach a few kids how to do laundry, which will also reduce his workload.

The kids often wash clothes, and through firsthand experience, they understand how difficult it is to wash dirty clothes, so they'll be more mindful of their clothes when playing later.

Duo Shou was completely unaware that Yu Rujia was plotting how to exploit them, the child laborers. Right now, he was reaching out his little hand to touch the fabric with sparkling eyes: "I can't bear to get such nice clothes dirty."

Seeing that Duoshou had received new clothes, Duolu naturally refused to be outdone and went up to hug Yu Rujia's leg, softly pleading, "Auntie, I want new clothes too, I want new clothes."

Yu Rujia reached out and patted the little child's head, smiling as she replied, "Okay, yes, yes, Auntie will make them for you."
