Down jackets have only been popular for a few years now, and there are not many manufacturers that can produce down jackets. Even if one costs a few yuan, it is still a rare commodity. Don't even think about choosing the style and color. If the size matches, then don't think about it, just buy it directly.

Sure enough, it was only half past six, and before daybreak, a long line had formed outside the department store. Men, women, young and old, wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, hats and scarves, stamping their feet and blowing out their breath to warm their hands, while looking at the closed door of the department store.

Xie Yunshu was a little dumbfounded. She came late yesterday and her down jackets were long gone, so she didn't see the long queues. She was shocked when she saw them today.

"It's too late. I guess there's no chance of success today..."

She never thought there would be so many, and she thought she came early enough!

The eldest sister standing at the end of the line sighed when she heard this: "I heard that the people at the front line came to line up at five in the morning! There are only a few down jackets a day, and there may not be a size that can fit us. I guess we have no chance today!"

Xie Mingcheng frowned: "Sister, why don't you just not buy it."

Such expensive clothes, my sister doesn't know how many lunch boxes she has to sell to earn enough to buy one. He is not that vain, and the cotton-padded jacket is just as warm.

Xie Yunshu was firm: "No, you must buy it."

Isn't the purpose of making money to make the family live a good life? If you save on everything, then what's the point of making money? The cotton-padded jacket Mingcheng is wearing is his father's legacy. The sleeves are a lot shorter and have been patched up again and again. Won't his classmates laugh at him when he goes to school?

Mingcheng doesn't have this vanity, but she does, and she just doesn't want others to laugh at her brother!

But even though I have money in my pocket, this down jacket is really hard to buy! After finally waiting for 12:30, as soon as the door of the department store opened, the people queuing up were like crazy, swarming in. Xie Yunshu pulled Xie Mingcheng and rushed forward desperately: "Hurry up, if we wait another two days, the department store will close and we won't be able to buy it!"

No wonder they are so crazy, they sell only a few pieces a day, and the department store will be closed in two days. Whether you can wear new clothes before then depends on who is faster in these two days!

Xie Mingcheng is tall and strong, and Xie Yunshu is not a weak girl. It should be no problem for the brother and sister to fight over a down jacket.

But they still underestimated the fighting power of the aunts and uncles. They are really strong!

Xie Yunshu's hat was about to fall off her head. She was holding the hat while watching a woman in a gray cotton-padded jacket squeeze her over...

Not only do they squeeze in, they also snatch it!

"Let go, let go, I took the blue one first!"

"I obviously saw it first! Salesman, take the money!"

"Oh my! You are robbing me! Salesman, why are you taking my money?"

Xie Yunshu's hair was all messed up, and Xie Mingcheng's handsome face was also dazed, as if he hadn't figured out how such a big guy like him was squeezed in.

"Sister..." He turned around and glanced at Xie Yunshu, with a little grievance in his eyes: "Why are they so strong?"

Xie Yunshu was originally quite depressed, but when he saw his brother like this, he immediately burst into laughter: "Now you know how strong you are, eat more meat to have strength, otherwise you can't even beat your sister."

"Why would I fight with you? I'll beat up anyone who bullies you." Xie Mingcheng muttered, then pursed his lips: "Should we still buy that down jacket?"

The closer we get to the present, the crazier it gets. If you can’t grab one today, it will probably be even harder to grab one tomorrow.

Xie Yunshu thought about it, touched her bulging pockets, and gritted her teeth: "Come on, I'll take you to the second floor counter to have a look!"

Domestically produced down jackets are hard to buy because they are cheap, only four or five yuan a piece, and the more expensive ones are sold at most six yuan, which are prepared for ordinary people. Rich people don't need to grab them, because imported goods are available on the second floor of the department store.

An imported down jacket costs more than 100 yuan, and some more expensive ones cost more than 200 yuan. This is equivalent to two or three months' salary of a worker. Who can afford it?

Xie Mingcheng thought she just wanted to go upstairs for a stroll, so he followed her up. There were indeed fewer things on the second floor, and there were some selling wool coats and some selling wool sweaters, all of which were very expensive.

When passing by a store selling women's woolen coats, Xie Mingcheng stopped. Hanging at the back was a light gray coat with a round collar and a belt. The salesperson matched it with a plaid scarf around his neck.

It looks very nice, and it would look even better on my sister.

The salesperson saw that he was wearing an inappropriate cotton-padded jacket and rushed over to him, "Stay away from our counter. These are all imported goods and are very expensive! This coat costs 180 yuan. Even if I sell you, you still can't afford it!"

The things in the department store were not cheap to begin with, and the second floor was a place only for the rich. It was common for the salesmen here to look down on others. Xie Mingcheng really couldn't afford it, so he lowered his eyes and walked forward.

The salesperson behind him rolled his eyes and said, "It's almost time. Who dares to come up to our second floor? You look so poor and I don't know if you smell."

The older sister who worked with her sighed: "We just went to see Cui's house, why bother if we didn't touch it with our hands?"

The saleswoman named Cui is young but has a bad temper. She is not very nice to her colleagues: "Sister, if you have this free time, you should think about how to sell clothes. If you are fired at such an age, you will be embarrassed!"

Their sales staff's salary is linked to sales, but the clothes here are expensive and they can't actually sell many pieces in a month. But if they sell one piece, the commission alone can be several yuan!

The eldest sister pursed her lips and said nothing more. Her performance this month was not good. She had only sold two pieces of clothing so far...

In front, Xie Yunshu had already walked past the down jackets and waved to Xie Mingcheng: "Mingcheng, come over and try on this piece of clothing!"

This is a long dark blue down jacket with a lot of fun. It can cover Xie Mingcheng's butt even though he is about 1.8 meters tall. It has big pockets on both sides and a thick hood on the back. It feels soft and thick.

Xie Yunshu fell in love with it at first sight, and Mingcheng would definitely look good in it!

Xie Mingcheng first looked at the price above, then shook his head: "I won't try it, sister, this color is not good-looking, I don't like it."

A down jacket costs 200 yuan, which is a sky-high price for him! He must be crazy to use his sister's hard-earned money to buy clothes for himself!

Xie Yunshu knew what he was thinking, her beautiful almond eyes widened: "Do you want to try?"

"It's just a try." Xie Mingcheng had no choice. Although his sister had a bad temper, he listened to her the most. However, she had made up her mind and would find fault with it when she wore it, saying it was uncomfortable and not warm...

Xie Yunshu then smiled. She picked up the clothes and handed them to Mingcheng, asking him to go into the fitting room to change. She then turned around to look at women's down jackets. There was a dark purple one that was quite suitable for her mother.

The counter on the second floor that sells imported down jackets only has this one. As soon as Xie Yunshu put her hand on the dark purple down jacket, she heard a delicate and familiar voice: "Yunshu, this coat doesn't suit you, and it's quite expensive. Why don't you go downstairs and take a look?"

The person who spoke was Zhou Xinyue, and next to her stood Lu Zhixing, who had a complicated expression on his face.

Xie Yunshu once learned a phrase called "enemies often meet on a narrow road", and today she completely felt the same way. Haicheng is so big, and the department store is so big, and she came here to buy clothes and still encountered dog shit. Isn't it annoying?
