Originally, they were not allowed to return to the city after being sent to the countryside, but when she wrote home last time, her father said that he would lie and say that her grandmother was sick during the Spring Festival, and use this as an excuse to let her come home for a family reunion.

And her family happens to be from Beijing.

If Qiao Qiqi really plans to take Wang Guihua to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, then she could indeed go and take a look.

If Qiao Qiqi is lying, it will be a good opportunity to expose her true colors to everyone.

After lunch, Qiao Qiqi rode her bicycle and took Fang Jingru to town.

After traveling for so many days, all that's left at home is some vegetables in the garden; there's nothing else to eat. So Qiao Qiqi decided to go to town to buy some good food.

Originally, Qiao Qiqi had planned to buy a house in the town, but after going to Beijing this time, because Qin Huai had returned to his ancestral home, Qiao Qiqi thought about it and decided not to buy a house in the town for the time being. Taking advantage of the current low house prices, she planned to go directly to Beijing to buy one first.

The date was set for the Chinese New Year.

Whether it works or not depends on whether she has enough money. So far, Qiao Qiqi is already a little rich woman with 10,000 yuan in her hands, but buying a house in Beijing is still a long way off.

With Fang Jingru around, Qiao Qiqi can't go out, so she can only wait.

Upon arriving in town, Qiao Qiqi first took Fang Jingru to the supply and marketing cooperative, where they obtained two water bottle coupons and bought two water bottles.

She specially exchanged this on the black market when she was in Beijing. She originally planned to buy two more water bottles, one for Qiao Weiguo and one for Wang Guihua.

Now that Qin Huai has joined the army, Qiao Qiqi still bought two, one for herself.

After buying the water bottle, Qiao Qiqi also bought five pounds of steamed egg custard, three bags of milk powder, three cans of malted milk powder, three pounds of pork, and two pig trotters...

When it came time to settle the bill, Fang Jingru suddenly took out her money, but Qiao Qiqi immediately stopped her, saying, "How can I let you spend money? I'll buy it myself."

"Why are you being so polite with me? Besides, I'll eat all this stuff."

"That won't work either."

Qiao Qiqi refused to let Fang Jingru pay, and the two argued for a long time before Qiao Qiqi finally paid.

Fang Jingru failed to pay, so she simply bought some things she thought she might need and insisted on paying for them herself this time.

Qiao Qiqi was carrying something in her hand and wanted to stop them, but it was inconvenient for her to do so, so she could only stare helplessly.

As the two of them came out of the supply and marketing cooperative carrying large and small bags, they happened to run into Sun Limin and Wang Xiaomai, who were also there to buy things.

The two were taken aback when they saw the large and small bags in Qiao Qiqi and Fang Jingru's hands.

The next second, Wang Xiaomai pointed at Sun Limin's dress and said, "Limin, your new dress is so beautiful, and it's the only one in the whole town, one of a kind."

Qiao Qiqi and Fang Jingru looked at the pretentious woman in front of them, and three black lines immediately appeared on their foreheads.

"No, sister, could you be any more exaggerated?" She suddenly said that without giving them any warning. Seeing the astonished looks from those around them, Qiao Qiqi and Fang Jingru, who were standing closest to Wang Xiaomai, were both a little embarrassed.

And also...

Looking at Sun Limin's plaid skirt, although the design was not bad and the tailor's skills were evident, Fang Jingru, being from Beijing, and Qiao Qiqi, being even more impressive, being from the 21st century, could immediately tell that the quality of Sun Limin's skirt was very average. It looked okay overall, but the details were not handled well. The most serious problem was the loose threads, which severely affected the appearance. Also, the stitching on the left and right sides was not symmetrical and was slightly crooked.

Wang Xiaomai wasn't embarrassed at all. She said with an envious look, "It looks better and better the more I look at it. After we get our share of the money in a few days, I'm going to ask the boss to make me an exact replica."

Qiao Qiqi remained silent for a moment, and after much hesitation, she finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

But Fang Jingru couldn't hold back. After looking at Wang Xiaomai's waist of 2.56 feet, she said very frankly, "This kind of fitted style is not suitable for your figure. I suggest you make a looser style."

Wang Xiaomai frowned, completely missing the point that Fang Jingru was implying she had a thick waist, and retorted without hesitation, "What style I wear is my own business, it's none of your concern!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft "pfft" sound came from the side.

Wang Xiaomai sensed something was wrong. After thinking carefully, she finally realized that Fang Jingru was saying that her waist was too thick.

"You..." She was about to curse when she saw that Qiao Qiqi and Fang Jingru had already hung their things on the handlebars of their bicycles. Fang Jingru sat behind them, and Qiao Qiqi pushed off with her foot, and the two of them rode off gracefully.

Wang Xiaomai was absolutely furious!

Sun Limin's expression was also unpleasant. After all, Wang Xiaomai's brainless words came from her, and the onlookers who heard about the skirt were also looking at her.

She had never been so humiliated in her life.

And all of this was caused by Wang Xiaomai herself!

Realizing this, Sun Limin didn't want to say another word to Wang Xiaomai, and she didn't even go into the supply and marketing cooperative. She turned around and left.

Wang Xiaomai was still yelling at the direction Qiao Qiqi and Fang Jingru had left, hands on her hips: "Who are you saying has a thick waist? So what if I have a thick waist? Did I eat your rice because I have a thick waist? I'm happy to have a thick waist! What's it to you!"

Wang Xiaomai became increasingly angry as she thought about it, and suddenly wanted to confide in Su Limin.

When he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him; Su Limin had disappeared!

"Limin? Limin?" Wang Xiaomai immediately went to look for her in a panic, and soon saw Su Limin's back, who had already walked more than 20 meters away. She quickly chased after her.

"Limin, wait for me!"

As Wang Xiaomai's voice drew closer, Su Limin quickened her pace and eventually started running.

However, she was never as fast as Wang Xiaomai, and was quickly caught by him. Wang Xiaomai grabbed her arm forcefully, and Su Limin cried out in pain. She lost her balance and fell to her knees on the ground.

With a thud, a cloud of dust rose up.

"Limin, are you alright?" Wang Xiaomai quickly bent down to help her up.

Su Limin pressed her hands to the ground, slowly clenching her fists. Suddenly, as Wang Xiaomai reached out, she forcefully swung her arm and roared, "Can you stay away from me?"

Wang Xiaomai took two steps back, meeting Su Limin's angry gaze, feeling bewildered. "Limin, what's wrong with you? I didn't mean to, but why did you suddenly run away?"

"..."

Why else could she be doing this? Should she just stand there and continue to embarrass herself if she doesn't run away?

Seeing Wang Xiaomai still looking at her like a complete idiot, Su Limin took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the ground.

Wang Xiaomai wanted to come up and help, but she quickly dodged her.

After standing still, Su Limin patted the dirt off her legs. When she looked up again, she had regained her composure. "Wang Xiaomai, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I don't think we're suitable to be friends. Let's not associate with each other anymore."
