After seeing off Su Wangshan and the others, Li Mingxi thought about the fact that she hadn't been to the county town in recent times, and she didn't know whether Sisi's problem had been resolved yet.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi thought to herself that she needed to take some time to visit the county town. She was really afraid that Dong Sisi would be plotted against by her stepmother.
That day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Li Mingxi pushed his bike and rode directly to the county town.
I had just arrived in the county town and hadn't even reached the textile factory when I saw Dong Sisi on the street.
Li Mingxi took a step forward and greeted Dong Sisi, "Hey, Sisi, why are you here?"
Dong Sisi curled her lips and said, "It's my dad who insisted that I go home for dinner. That's why I didn't go to work today and hid out."
Then, Dong Sisi told Li Mingxi that it had been since her father asked her to go back for dinner last time but she refused.
Dad Dong came to the factory every few days to bring some food and daily necessities to Dong Sisi.
Not only that, he often asked Dong Sisi to come home for dinner, under the pretext of having a reunion dinner so that the whole family could keep in touch.
Dong Sisi refused every time. Originally, everyone knew that Dong Sisi had a bad relationship with her family, so no one said anything. But now that Dong's father took the initiative to reconcile, it would seem a bit heartless for Dong Sisi to refuse again.
So Dong Sisi sneaked out, but she didn't expect that the first time she came out, she met Li Mingxi.
Li Mingxi found it very strange that Dong's father cared about Dong Sisi inexplicably.
If he really cared about the child, he would not have left Dong Sisi alone in the countryside. Now that the child has grown up, he is doing this again. Isn't it obvious that he has an ulterior motive?
Li Mingxi was just thinking about something when he heard Dong Si complaining, "Hey, do you think he's sick? He said something like, he regrets it now and wants to compensate me, hoping that I can go home and live with him."
Li Mingxi felt that things were definitely not that simple, so she said it directly.
"Your father must have some motive. If he lets you go home, he will definitely discuss it with your stepmother."
Dong Sisi slapped her forehead when she heard what Li Mingxi said, "Oh, yes, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of it. Maybe it was Wang Fang's idea that he went home."
"So what do you think her purpose is and what does she want to do?" Dong Sisi looked at Li Mingxi puzzledly.
Li Mingxi didn't know what Dong Sisi's stepmother Wang Fang was trying to do, but she always felt that based on Wang Fang's personality.
She must have some big purpose this time, otherwise she wouldn't have invested so much.
No matter what happens, when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth; when the car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way out. Li Mingxi felt that no matter what her purpose was, Sisi would definitely be able to handle it when the time came.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi told the truth, "I don't know either. Anyway, you should pay attention to it."
Since Li Mingxi has met Dong Sisi, he doesn't need to go see her specifically anymore.
I just wanted to look around and see if I could come across anything good.
Thinking that Dong Sisi also took a day off today, I suggested, "Sisi, why don't we go shopping!"
Dong Sisi nodded happily. "Okay, okay. I haven't been to the department store for a long time. Let's go to the department store to buy some corduroy. A colleague of mine said that the department store just got a new batch of corduroy."
"Okay," Li Mingxi agreed when she saw Dong Sisi was so happy and seemed to want the corduroy fabric very much.
When Dong Sisi heard Li Mingxi agreed, she kept muttering, "When the time comes, we can cut more cloth and make a pair of trousers and a coat. But I don't think I have enough cloth coupons. I only have ten feet of cloth."
Li Mingxi: "I have cloth coupons. If you want to buy some, I can lend them to you."
Dong Sisi was very happy to hear Li Mingxi say this, "Xiaoxi, I knew you were the best. I will definitely pay you back when the cloth coupons are issued next month."
Li Mingxi did not have too many requirements on the style and fabric of clothes. After all, no matter how many types of clothes there were now, they could not compare to those in later generations.
It was precisely because of this that although Li Mingxi had cloth coupons, she did not go to the department store to buy cloth. Anyway, her clothes were usually made by Niu Cuihua and Zhang Huilan.
As they were talking, they arrived at the department store in a short while.
As soon as I entered, I saw the cloth counter was crowded with people. At first glance, almost everyone wanted corduroy.
When the people in the queue behind saw the salesperson take out the corduroy, they rushed forward.
Li Mingxi looked at the surging crowd and his expression twitched. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? Is corduroy really that good?
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi turned around and looked at Dong Sisi who was standing next to him, wanting to see her reaction.
Dong Sisi was obviously also surprised by the crowd of people buying cloth. "Ah, we are a little late. Why are there so many people? If I had known, I would have come earlier."
Li Mingxi was just about to say, since there are so many people, let's not buy it, but Dong Sisi pulled him to queue up.
The two of them waited in line for a while, and Dong Sisi looked at the motionless crowd in front of her and became extremely anxious.
"No, there are too many people here. I have to go see if there's anyone I know in front of me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that by the time it's our turn, there won't be any stock left."
After saying this, Dong Sisi went straight to the front, leaving Li Mingxi alone in line.
I don’t know whether I should say that she was lucky, Dong Sisi actually met someone she knew.
Li Mingxi was queuing dejectedly when he saw Dong Sisi coming towards him excitedly.
Looking at her expression, Li Mingxi thought that she hadn't found anyone she knew.
"Let's go," Dong Sisi directly pulled Li Mingxi's arm and walked forward.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mingxi met Sun Yaner and her sister-in-law Liu Lan.
Sun Yaner and Dong Sisi work in the same workshop and are going to get married soon.
She took a day off today specifically to come to the department store to buy wedding supplies, but she didn't expect to meet Dong Sisi by chance.
After a few people greeted each other, Liu Lan directly asked Dong Sisi and Li Mingxi to stand in front of them.
When the people behind saw someone in front trying to cut in line, they started yelling, "Hey, why are you cutting in line? There are so many people behind you."
Someone immediately echoed, "That's right, you guys cut in line. What if there are no seats left when it's our turn?"
Sun Yaner's sister-in-law Liu Lan argued directly with the people, "We are together. They just went over there. We can't help them queue up!"
Immediately, someone disagreed, "You're lying. Those two women were clearly behind me. I saw them!"
Li Mingxi felt extremely embarrassed when someone said that to her.
Then a salesperson came over and pointed at her and said, "Comrade, this is the cloth you wanted to buy. Here you go."
Then, the salesperson was about to hand her the corduroy cloth.
