Director Lou asked Assistant Shi to go with them while he went back to the pharmaceutical factory first.
Jiang Wenwan really didn't know much about this place, so she followed Xu Xiangxiu and let her lead the way.
They came to a street with many clothing stores.
"Now that the policies are becoming clearer, they have also tentatively opened many shops."
Anyway, nothing's wrong now that they're open, and no one's told them to close down, so more and more clothing shops are opening on this street.
Seeing these brightly colored clothes makes me feel much better.
Isn't it beautiful?
And this one over here, you see, these cool and breezy styles are all the rage right now.
Isn't this dress pretty?
I'm telling you, it's very cheap here.
Oh, by the way, if you're looking for children's clothes, come over here with me.
There aren't many children's clothes for sale here; most people make them at home, just altering and sewing them up.
Jiang Wenwan also noticed that there are very few children's clothes available now.
Most of the clothes were worn by young people, especially those in red, yellow, blue, and green.
The bright and colorful designs are very popular.
On the contrary, children have very few clothes, as she said, they are all made at home.
After all, at that time, sewing machines were popular in every household for making clothes.
It doesn't take much effort to make a child's outfit.
You can even just alter an adult's clothes.
Their sewing machine hasn't arrived yet; it should be here in the next couple of days.
Sewing machines and radios, these large items, were all shipped over together.
Several families in their compound own sewing machines; it would be inconvenient to carry one on the train.
Even if Jiang Wenwan could move it, the other military wives couldn't.
She had originally planned that if she couldn't buy children's clothes today, she would wait for the sewing machine to come so she could make them herself.
Anyway, she made the clothes for Tangbao and Fantuan.
She does have a little bit of talent when it comes to making clothes.
"Look, they sell children's clothes here."
Xu Xiangxiu was really into shopping, looking at this and that, and she actually found a store that sold children's clothes.
He immediately inquired:
"Excuse me, do you sell clothes for three- or four-year-old children?"
Upon hearing her question, the man immediately replied:
"Yes, yes, look here, all of these are children's clothes."
Jiang Wenwan thought the styles were all alright.
Kids are always happy to have new clothes, no matter what the style is.
"Then I'll buy a few."
I chose two boys' outfits and two girls' outfits.
Just as she was about to pay, Xu Xiangxiu beat her to it.
"No need for you, I'll do it."
Jiang Wenwan wouldn't let her pay, so she quickly insisted on paying herself.
"No, no need for you, I'll pay for it myself."
Xu Xiangxiu immediately became unhappy.
Are you looking down on me, or do you not want to be friends with me?
If you call me Sister Xu, then we're friends from now on.
Since you've just arrived in Guangzhou, as the host, I should do my part and buy the child a couple of outfits. What's wrong with that?
You're not allowed to take it from me, or I won't be happy.
Jiang Wenwan was a little overwhelmed by her enthusiasm.
She paid for the meal first.
"Alright! Then I'll thank you on behalf of the two little ones."
"Oh, don't be so polite with me. Come on, let's keep shopping. I'll buy a couple more items."
She quickly shook her head as she spoke.
"Oh no, I can't buy any more."
I just bought three items the day before yesterday, and if I buy two more, I could wear a different outfit every day for a month.
My husband is really going to get angry with me.
"Would you like to buy a few bright and nice items?"
Jiang Wenwan was truly overwhelmed by someone who was so enthusiastic on their first meeting.
"Let me take a look first. There's nothing I want to buy for now. By the way, do you know if there are any jeans like that?"
I heard they really flatter your legs when you wear them, they look amazing.
Xu Xiangxiu frowned.
"I've never seen this before."
Jiang Wenwan frowned as she looked behind her.
Because she discovered Du Ziteng and his group.
I have no idea what they're doing there so suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Xiangxiu looked behind her but didn't see anything.
Jiang Wenwan shook her head, gave Du Ziteng a warning look, and said to Xu Xiangxiu:
"It's nothing. I just saw a model wearing those pants in a magazine before. If I find them, I'll send you a pair."
Xu Xiangxiu nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, I love pretty clothes the most, I definitely won't refuse if you give me some."
The two strolled around for a while longer before heading back.
Jiang Wenwan got tired of walking around, so she found a place to sit down.
She walked and sat for a while, and when she arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, she saw Jiang Mo running towards her, covered in sweat.
"Cousin, thank goodness we're not late."
Jiang Wenwan introduced Xu Xiangxiu.
"This is my cousin, Jiang Mo."
He said to Jiang Mo:
"This is Director Lou's wife, please call her Sister Xu!"
Jiang Mo greeted them.
Hello, Sister Xu!
Xu Xiangxiu smiled and nodded at Jiang Mo.
"Hello, Comrade Jiang. How old are you this year?"
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?
These questions made Jiang Wenwan laugh.
Jiang Mo scratched his head sheepishly.
"I don't have a boyfriend yet, so I'm not in a rush to find one."
Jiang Wenwan also smiled.
"Sister Xu, if you find a suitable girl, keep an eye out for her. We're heading back now."
