"Xiaoxi, you are so willing to give up!"
After a short period of communication, since neither of them was introverted, Ning Xi became more familiar with the young girl standing behind her. They exchanged names and found out that the other person's name was Zhu Mei.
Zhu Mei exclaimed when she saw Ning Xi buy two pieces of Fanli Ding without blinking.
It would cost her eight dollars to buy one, nearly one-third of her salary. She felt so distressed. She didn't expect that the new sister she met would be so generous.
The people around also looked at Ning Xi with curiosity.
She is so generous and pretty at such a young age. I wonder what her family does for a living?
Ning Xi could sense that she was simply surprised and had no ill intentions, so she said modestly, "I have a little sister at home, so if I need to make pants for her, I need one pair for each of them."
"This female comrade is so nice to my younger sister." An older sister who was watching the fun sighed with a hint of sourness, "I have never received anything from my older sister."
In her family, all the older ones wear new clothes, and the younger ones pick up clothes that the older ones can no longer wear, and it’s the same for both boys and girls. New clothes?
You can only dream of this after you have a job or get married.
As for wanting to get some good things from married brothers and sisters, that is almost impossible. After getting married, they only think about taking things into their own little home.
It was as if the blood sisters of the past were no longer relatives, but enemies who might take away their own interests.
Ning Xi didn't want to step on others to save face, so her tone was soft and boastful: "Because my sister is also very good to me. She gives me all the pocket money she secretly saves."
The eldest sister just now stopped talking, as if she had never given anything to her sister.
Ning Xi took the cloth, squeezed out of the queue with difficulty, and waited for Zhu Mei on the side. The two agreed to go upstairs together to go shopping and buy some other things.
I have to say, shopping with a companion is indeed more attractive than shopping alone.
Zhu Mei bought some cloth and squeezed out to find Ning Xi, with a guilty look on her face: "Xiao Xi, I'm sorry for what happened just now. Did I cause you any trouble?"
She originally thought that the two were about the same age, and guessed that they had just started working so they bought themselves some decent things, so she was surprised by Ning Xi's generosity.
As a result, many people looked at Ning Xi with curiosity.
"It's okay. My money wasn't stolen, so I'm not afraid of others seeing it." Ning Xi didn't think it was a big deal. Everyone was just there to watch the fun. It wouldn't hurt her if they looked at her a few times.
Zhu Mei breathed a sigh of relief and affectionately took Ning Xi's arm, "Hey, you're so nice. I'll definitely pay attention next time."
"By the way, where are you from? I'm from the east side of the city. I came here specifically to buy gifts today, and I didn't expect to run into such a good thing. Luckily I had money in my pocket, otherwise I would have just been watching."
After saying that, she touched the cloth she had just obtained with satisfaction.
"Are you from the east of the city?" Ning Xi thought of her friend Zhu Yue. It had been so many days, and except for sending her fruits once, she hadn't visited her yet!
"I have a good friend who also lives in the east of the city. He happens to have the same last name as you, Zhu. What a coincidence!"
Zhu Mei became interested: "What a coincidence? What's his name? Everyone in our neighborhood has the surname Zhu. Maybe I know him."
They might also be related, after all, all those with the surname Zhu in their area had the same ancestor.
Ning Xi thought for a moment and said, "Zhu Yue, do you know?"
Mingjiang City is a well-known big city in the whole north, with many factories and a large population, so the probability of knowing each other by chance is not high.
"Zhu Yue? She is my cousin! I came here today to buy her a wedding present, you too, right?" Zhu Mei jumped happily.
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. It seems like we are natural friends, hehehe~"
"Getting married? She's getting married?!" Ning Xi had no idea.
"Ah? Don't you know?" Zhu Mei's excitement was frozen on her face. "It happened just last week. They're already engaged and will be getting married at the beginning of next month."
Ning Xi understood: "Oh, I've been too busy recently, and I live in the west of the city, so I don't have time to go visit her. Come on, let's go pick out gifts together!"
In fact, she was very well-off some time ago, but her reputation was not good at that time. No matter what era, it is a big deal for children to sue their parents.
In the eyes of many people, this was a heinous crime, and coupled with the potential danger from the Lin and He families, Ning Xi stayed at home.
Just for the fact that Zhu Yue was willing to let his father help Ning Xi, he was already very kind to Ning Xi. Although Ning Xi did not use this relationship, the favor still existed.
"What are you planning to buy? I want to buy her a dress." They are all girls, so it would be a good idea to buy her a dress. Zhu Mei felt that her idea was extremely wise.
"Let's see first." Ning Xi has no experience in giving gifts.
After a round of shopping, Zhu Mei chose a short-sleeved dress with a white collar and red floral patterns. Ning Xi wanted to buy a pair of Double Happiness thermoses, but she didn't have the tickets.
Although the department store has a wider range of items than the supply and marketing cooperatives, it is nothing compared to the later generations. Ning Xi really wants to copy Zhu Mei's plan and buy a skirt too.
If she hadn't met Zhu Mei today, there would be no problem in giving her a skirt, but the problem is that now that she met her, giving her a skirt would seem perfunctory and insincere.
Zhu Mei was staring at the clothes shop, so Ning Xi walked around by herself to see if she could get any inspiration.
Finally, when she passed by the watch cabinet, she saw that there was a pen stall next to it. Ning Xi suddenly realized that she could never go wrong with a skirt, so wouldn't a pen be even more versatile?
What's more, Zhu Yue has a respectable job in the government, so a fountain pen is definitely a necessity. Nowadays, many people like to wear a fountain pen in their chest pocket to show their status.
