Jiang Sui asked Wu Xin deliberately, observing Xiang Baiwei's reaction while speaking.

Unfortunately, Xiang Baiwei had her back to him, and Jiang Sui didn't see the panic on her face.

"Aren't you drunk? How can you still ask me clearly? I know you are not drunk." Xiang Baiwei quickly pretended to trick him, opened the door of the main room, and pulled him in.

Jiang Sui didn't want to be exposed, so he staggered into the house and sat down.

He brought Bai Wei some cold water and a towel, and took his cup outside to get a cup of honey water.

After finishing all the miscellaneous things, Xiang Baiwei looked at Jiang Sui who had become well-behaved and said, "I still have work to do. You stay here by yourself. I think you should be fine."

"It's very uncomfortable." Jiang Sui's eyes drooped and his expression was depressed.

Xiang Baiwei took two steps forward, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Jiang Sui who looked aggrieved: "Bear with it!"

Then she turned around and left resolutely.

The moment the door was closed, Jiang Sui sighed helplessly and got up to wash his face.

How cruel.

In the evening, Xiang Baiwei came back a little late. Jiang Sui did not wait for her. After finishing his meal, he started reading and studying.

It was almost half past eight when Jiang Sui saw that Bai Wei had not returned yet. He looked at the dark sky outside, picked up the flashlight from the windowsill, and prepared to go to greet Bai Wei.

As soon as I walked out of the main room, Xiang Baiwei pushed the door open.

She saw Jiang Sui, who was about to go out, holding the lock in his hand: "It's so late, where are you going?"

"I'm a little worried that you haven't come back yet." Jiang Sui walked over and took the lock. "I'll lock the door. You can wash your hands and go eat."

"Oh, okay." Xiang Baiwei stepped back, glanced at Jiang Sui for a few times, said nothing, and turned to wash her hands by the well.

While eating, Xiang Baiwei remembered something and went into the inner room with her bowl, chatting with Jiang Sui who was sorting books at the table: "Are you sober now? I worked overtime today to deal with tomorrow's affairs."

"What are you going to do tomorrow?" Jiang Sui glanced at him.

"My eldest brother asked me this morning to help him with some small things for his wedding. He said he didn't know how. My future sister-in-law also wanted to buy some things, so I planned to accompany her to the city for a stroll."

"Is that so? Then I'll go with you tomorrow," Jiang Sui patted the pile of books beside him and continued before he could speak to Bai Wei, "I'm missing some information, and there are some stationery and other things I need for school. I was originally planning to go tomorrow, so why don't we go together tomorrow? If you buy a lot, I can help you carry it."

Xiang Baiwei thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

Since we both happen to be going to the county town, we might as well go together.

The next morning, when Xiang Baiwei was packing her things, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Sui, who was washing dishes by the well, shook the water off his hands and went to open the door.

Standing at the door were Xiang Weiguo and his unmarried wife.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Jiang Sui welcomed the two people in warmly.

Xiang Baiwei heard the noise and came out of the house. She greeted Guifen enthusiastically, then pulled Guifen into the house to drink water.

Xiang Weiguo, who stayed outside, pulled Jiang Sui aside and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. There was money wrapped in the handkerchief. He stuffed the money into Jiang Sui's shirt pocket and said, "I heard that you are going with us, too. Take this money. You can give it to my sister later. It will be useful for buying things in the city."

"No need, big brother," Jiang Sui opened his mouth to refuse, but Xiang Weiguo was firm, so he had to accept it. "Then I'll find a chance to give it to Weiwei later and let her take it. I'll buy some clothes for my sister-in-law."

"Look at you, there's no need to be polite when we're family." Jiang Sui sent the man out, then put the dishes in the cupboard and called to Bai Wei, "We should leave now, the bus is coming soon."

After arriving in the county town, Jiang Sui said that he could accompany them to the department store first.

After they have bought most of the things here, let them find a place to rest for a while, and you can go to the bookstore to buy what you need.

It was Saturday and there were a lot of people visiting the department store.

Xiang Baiwei took Guifen to the place where clothes were sold as if she knew the place well.

I picked out two red dresses for her first.

According to the local custom, the bride has to wear red from head to toe for several days in a row. Xiang Baiwei thought buying a red dress was the most appropriate choice.

While Guifen was changing her clothes, Xiang Baiwei began to look at the clothes around her.

For someone who has lived a lifetime, the clothes of this era are a little bit out of date.

There are few people that Xiang Baiwei can look up to.

The two red dresses I picked for Guifen just now are very good. The styles are classic and will not be out of fashion even in 20 years.

If Xiang Baiwei hadn't been pursuing the principle of keeping a low profile, she would have drawn the pattern herself and asked a tailor to make it.

It's a pity that she still feels that she shouldn't be too ostentatious.

Xiang Baiwei stood in front of the counter, looking around bored, and soon she noticed a light blue dress hanging highest.

This dress has the style of the southern coastal areas and looks particularly fashionable in this underdeveloped small town.

Matching the fashionable and stylish look of this skirt is its prohibitive price.

Just this skirt costs more than 200 yuan.

This amount of money is enough for an average family to live on for most of half a year. I wonder what the person who purchased this skirt was thinking.

Who can afford it?

At this time, Jiang Sui noticed her gaze and walked over: "You seem to like that blue skirt? If you like it, take it off and try it on?"

"You sound like a clothes seller," Xiang Baiwei teased him with a smile, then shook her head, "Today we are buying things for my elder sister-in-law and elder brother. I don't need them, and this skirt is terribly expensive. This money is enough for our family to eat and drink well for several months."

As they were talking, Guifen, who had changed her clothes, came out.

Xiang Baiwei didn't have time to deal with Jiang Sui anymore, so she hurried over to discuss with Guifen how she felt about the clothes.

Jiang Sui looked at Xiang Baiwei who was rushing to pay the bill, then looked back at the skirt hanging on the wall, walked over and said a few words to another teller.

The teller looked at him oddly, then nodded.

The morning passed quickly and I bought a bunch of miscellaneous things from Bai Wei.

Jiang Sui carried two bags in one hand and reached out to Bai Wei with the other hand: "Your pockets are full of glass cups, they are too heavy. Let me help you carry them."

"No need," Xiang Baiwei shook her head and rejected him in a relaxed manner, "I can't feel this weight at all. Let's go. Sister-in-law must be hungry. I'm hungry too. Let's find a place to eat and have something good."
