Li Li tilted her head to look at Pan Ning's long hair and felt that what she said made sense.

Then I thought about how much time it takes to dry my hair after washing it, and I felt a little tempted. I touched my hair reluctantly and said:

"That's true. It's really inconvenient to have long hair in the winter. Now that you mention it, I'm a little tempted to cut it short, but I'm reluctant because I've had long hair for a long time."

Pan Ning nodded and said, "I'm reluctant to do that, but then I think about how troublesome it is to have long hair, so I think I'd better just cut it. After all, hair will grow back sooner or later."

"So what do you think, should I cut my hair?" Li Li was a little tempted by her suggestion, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she asked for their opinions.

Pan Ning was afraid that she would act impulsively, so he said, "It depends on what you think. There are pros and cons to cutting your hair, so it's best to follow your inner desire."

"That's right. Cutting your hair makes it easier to take care of. It depends on whether you are willing to spend time taking care of your hair. Whether it's long or short, what's most important is what you like." Jianshu nodded in agreement and advised.

Li Li was not without ideas either. After being persuaded by the two, she made a decision: "Then I won't cut it. I really like my long hair. I have worked hard to grow it so well. I can't bear to cut it off."

As for the trouble of taking care of it, the worst that happens is that it takes some time, and there is nothing to do at home anyway.

In the past, she always had to do housework at home, but she could always find time to think about how to take care of her hair. Now that her mother doesn't ask her to do it anymore, she has even more time.

After making up her mind, Li Li also put aside her previous slight excitement.

The three of them chatted as they walked, and from time to time Jianshu and Lili had some small quarrels. They were fighting and making noise all the way, and there was no peace at all.

Pan Ning was acting as a peacemaker, feeling both amused and helpless. However, she was already used to it. Since the three of them became close, such things happened every few days.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the supplies at grain and oil stations and department stores are much more sufficient. Vermicelli, thick noodles, black fungus, and chrysanthemums, which are rarely seen in normal times, are supplied to households.

Peanuts and melon seeds, which are only "tasted" once a year, also come during the Spring Festival.

Ordinary people usually eat soybean oil and sanitary cooking oil, and peanut oil can also be bought during the Chinese New Year.

It is no wonder that people nowadays look forward to the Chinese New Year, as only during the Chinese New Year can they have such abundant supplies.

The people have worked hard all year long, and at the end of the year they all want to have a good year.

Jianshu has always had the habit of doing big shopping during the New Year. When her parents were still alive in her previous life, they would take her to buy new clothes before the New Year.

Although she usually has new clothes to wear, for some reason, the new clothes she wears during the Chinese New Year always make her happiest.

In this day and age, although she has learned how to make clothes from Aunt Chen, she always feels that it is not the New Year if she does not buy new clothes.

So Jianshu chose the clothing counter as the first stop.

"Lily Ningning, let's go buy clothes first. We need new clothes for the New Year." Jianshu suggested.

Pan Ning nodded and agreed, "I want to buy some clothes too. I've been wearing these clothes for several years, and I just happened to have saved up some cloth coupons, so I'll use them today."

Her salary is quite high, and she only hands over a small portion for household expenses. The rest is in her own hands, which is enough for her to buy clothes.

However, buying clothes requires cloth coupons, and she basically hands in the coupons. This time, she exchanged the cloth coupons with someone else, and she was planning to buy herself a new set of clothes.

"I won't buy clothes. I don't have enough cloth coupons. I'll just buy a pair of cotton shoes." Li Li shook her head and refused.

She used to hand in all her salary receipts and basically didn't save anything.

That is, after what happened to Sister Zhou Ni, her mother didn't dare to treat her harshly anymore, so she saved some money.

But buying clothes is not enough, just buying a pair of cotton shoes will do. Her cotton shoes are also worn out, so she bought a new pair so that her feet can be warm when she goes out.

Jianshu Pan Ning knew her situation and didn't say anything more.

Although Jianshu still had some cloth coupons, she knew Li Li's personality and was sure she would not take them.

As a friend, she cannot force others to do something they are not willing to do under the banner of being nice.

After reaching a consensus, the three of them walked towards the destination counter.

As the year draws to a close, department stores are packed with people, and long queues form at every counter.

When they arrived at the clothes shop, there were already dozens of people queuing up in front of them.

Jianshu originally wanted to experience the enthusiasm of queuing up to buy New Year's goods that is unique to this era. He didn't mind the large number of people. Instead, he happily pulled the two of them to line up at the back of the queue.

Waiting in line was not as boring as Jianshu had imagined. With Li Li and Pan Ning by my side, the three of us chatted and talked together, which was quite interesting.

And the people queuing nearby are basically in groups, all of them are relatives and neighbors who have made an appointment to get together. While queuing, they can't help but talk about the daily gossip of other people.

After living alone for a long time, you will be able to listen to the trivial things in daily life with great interest, after all, these things are full of the flavor of life.

In her previous life, she had queued up a lot, such as checking in at popular online stores, seeing a doctor at the hospital, getting nucleic acid tests done throughout the city, and so on.

But at that time, she only felt the irritation and anxiety of waiting, and the crowd was full of people looking down at their phones, which was really boring.

Just like that, time passed by in the midst of chatting and gossiping, and soon Jianshu and the other two stood at the front of the team.

The salesperson's voice was hoarse after several hours of busy work and his attitude was very bad.

When he saw the next person coming forward, he looked up and realized it was an acquaintance, and quickly swallowed the bad words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After all, they are all colleagues. I can't take my anger out on them, so I quickly forced a smile.

"Oh, it's you guys. Are you here to buy clothes? What do you want? I'll make you a list."

Jianshu and the other two also greeted her politely. After all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you, and you can't be rude to others even if they are nice to you.

Looking at the long queue behind her and the crowds of people coming in at the gate one after another, the three of them did not waste any more of her time.

After Pan Ning and Jian Shu bought new clothes, they accompanied Li Li to buy shoes. You can't really say they were accompanying Li Li, because Jian Shu also bought shoes.

For her, of course the New Year means getting dressed up from head to toe.

After buying the shoes, the three of them started moving to other counters.

When queuing to buy things before, Jianshu could occasionally hear people asking for biscuits, melon seeds, peanuts, tofu, and seafood.

Perhaps influenced by the environment, or perhaps her own shopping desire, she started queuing at various counters, and once she started buying, she couldn't stop.
