Chapter 21 Qingxi, look quickly, what good things did Brother Jingqi buy for you.

"What do you say you are here for? Of course, to buy something. Could it be that you are here just to see you?" Wu Xiaodong, who was following behind Xia Qingxi, said to her directly.

Hearing that she was here to buy something, He Shanshan became even more unhappy. She looked very unhappy and asked,

"What are you buying?"

"Who cares what I'm buying? Anyway, I'm not buying your pig intestines." Wu Xiaodong said to her again.

A salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative got pregnant, so she recruited He Shanshan as a temporary worker and assigned her to the area that sold pig entrails. She hated the smell, but she had no choice but to do it. This was a job opportunity that she had finally gotten.

She knew that Wu Xiaodong was mocking her, but she had no way to refute him, so she could only roll her eyes at him.

Xia Qingxing ignored her and went straight to the daily necessities area, and said to the salesperson inside:

"Comrade, help me get an enamel basin..."

"What do you want to buy an enamel basin for?" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by He Shanshan, who said righteously:

"You are not allowed to buy a basin at home."

There was a basin at home, but it was used to wash vegetables, wash dishes, wash face... Every time Xia Qingxing washed her face, she had to wash the basin several times first.

He Shanshan has her own wash basin, but the original one doesn't. Now she is not allowed to buy one. Xia Qingxing's delicate eyebrows were a little annoyed, and she asked in a cold tone:

"I spend my money to buy my basin. What does it have to do with you?" Then she turned to the salesperson inside and said:

"Give me the best quality one." Just after she finished speaking, Xia Qingxing thought of something:

"Oh no, give me two."

"You..." He Shanshan didn't expect that the timid Xia Qingxing would dare to talk back to her. She was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while. When she reacted and was about to explode, she heard Xia Qingxing say to the salesperson:

"Help me get the vanishing cream, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and two towels."

Seeing her buy so many things at once, He Shanshan's face almost turned green with anger, but she didn't dare to say no to her in front of other salespeople. She

was angry, and suddenly realized: No, where did she get the money to buy so many things?

After thinking for a long time, she reacted, and she looked at Xia Qingxi with wide eyes, and asked anxiously:

"Have you received your salary?"

"Does it have anything to do with you whether you get your salary or not?" Xia Qingxi glanced at her, ignored her, and walked to the counter selling fabrics.

There were a lot of fabrics on it, all kinds of materials, all kinds of patterns, neatly arranged.

Although Xia Qingxing had money, she only had two feet of cloth coupons, and could not even buy one meter of cloth. After hesitating for a while, she said to the salesperson:

"Please give me one foot of this blue and lavender floral Dacron."

Dacron is bright in color and soft in texture, perfect for making headwear.

He Shanshan could no longer remain calm when she saw her buying such expensive fabric. Her mother Wang Mingfang promised her that after Xia Qingxing paid her salary this month, she would buy her the red Dacron skirt from the department store.

Now that Xia Qingxing had bought all these and spent all her money, what would happen to her red skirt?

She still wanted to wear that skirt to a blind date.

Thinking of this, she could not care about anything else. She rushed directly from the counter to Xia Qingxiong and shouted:

"You are not allowed to buy, you are not allowed to buy, you are not allowed to buy anything."

Xia Qingxiong glanced at the furious He Shanshan, and did not argue with her. She turned to a 40-year-old woman at the counter and said:

"What's wrong with the salespersons in your supply and marketing cooperative? Don't you plan to sell things to customers?"

The woman looked smart and capable, and it was obvious that she was a leader there.

From the moment He Shanshan stopped Xia Qingxiong from buying the enamel basin, the woman's face became bad.

Seeing her being so rude to customers again, she scolded him directly: "He Shanshan, what's wrong with

you? Temporary workers should also have some professional qualities. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to come tomorrow." "No, no." He Shanshan was anxious for a moment and blurted out: "This is my...sister-in-law. Her salary can't be used to buy these." "Why can't I use it to buy these?" Xia Qingying seemed to be amused by her words and asked back: "If I don't buy what I want to buy with my salary, should I buy what you want to buy?" He Shanshan, whose thoughts were exposed, became angry and yelled at Xia Qingying: "Shut up." "You should shut up." The elder sister on the side immediately scolded He Shanshan, her eyes were full of warnings, her face was extremely ugly, and she said in a cold voice: "Don't make trouble here, sell your pig entrails." They are the people's store, and they should serve the people. How can they allow a temporary worker to mess up under her nose. Under the threat of the elder sister, He Shanshan reluctantly shut up, and walked back to the counter in silence and anger. "You want two feet, right?" The elder sister turned to Xia Qingying and said. "Well, one foot each for blue florals and lavender florals." Xia Qingying replied. "This cloth is much more expensive than cotton cloth. It takes at least four feet to make a piece of clothing. It's not enough for you to buy two feet." The elder sister kindly reminded. "Sister Qingxi, don't you have any cloth coupons? I have some here." Wu Xiaodong on the side said hurriedly, and was about to give his own cloth coupons to Xia Qingxi. "No, I don't make clothes." Xia Qingxi waved her hand and said. "Okay, one foot is one dollar and five cents, two feet is three dollars." The elder sister took a ruler to measure it, picked up the scissors skillfully, cut off two pieces of cloth and wrapped them up. He Shanshan watched from afar, and her heart was bleeding when she thought that three dollars were gone. She wanted to stare a hole in Xia Qingxi with her eyes. That was the money she used to buy the red skirt! "Comrade, do you need anything else?" The elder sister looked at Xia Qingxi and asked. Xia Qingxi was about to say that she had no more, but after thinking for a while, she said: "Two more popsicles."

"We have three flavors of popsicles, banana for 3 cents, green bean for 4 cents, and milk for 5 cents. Which one do you want?" the eldest sister asked.

Xia Qingliu knew that He Shanshan must be looking at her now. She came here today on purpose to spend money in front of her. She smiled and said generously:

"Then let's get the most expensive one."

She actually dared to ask for the most expensive one! He Shanshan looked at Xia Qingliu steadily, clenched her fists, and her nails almost dug into her flesh.

"Two enamel basins for 4.6 yuan, daily toiletries for 1.8 yuan, vanishing cream for 1.4 yuan, Dacron for 3 yuan, popsicle for 1 yuan, a total of 10.9 yuan." After the elder sister finished the bill, she looked at Xia Qingying and continued:

"The bill is ready for you, go over there to settle the bill, and then come to the front to get all the things."

Xia Qingying replied "OK", then walked to the cashier, took out a handful of change and two cloth coupons from her bag, and handed them to the cashier together.

He Shanshan looked at the money she handed over and tried to restrain the urge to grab it. This was the money she wanted to buy clothes, and she was so extravagant that she spent more than ten yuan at once!

When she returns, she will tell Wang Mingfang to confiscate all of Xia Qingxing's wages and not leave her a single cent.

Xia Qingxing settled the bill, went to the side to get the things she bought, put them in a net bag, and handed a popsicle she had just bought to Wu Xiaodong:

"Here, Xiaodong brother, I'll treat you."

Wu Xiaodong didn't expect that he would also have a share, and was somewhat flattered. He grinned and said,

"Thank you, Sister Qingxing."

After that, he took the popsicle, tore open the wrapping paper in front of He Shanshan, put it in his mouth, and ate it with his head shaking.

He Shanshan looked at this scene, and her teeth were almost broken. She usually couldn't bear to buy milk-flavored popsicles, but Xia Qingxing actually treated others in front of her, which was really infuriating.

Seeing He Shanshan's angry and depressed expression, Xia Qingxing was very satisfied. Seeing that her goal was achieved, she and Wu Xiaodong walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Wu Xiaodong was riding a bike in front, with the things he bought hanging on the handlebars. Xia Qingxing sat in the back seat, tearing off the outer packaging paper. The popsicle was steaming cold, and she took a bite. In addition to being cold, it also had the smoothness and sweetness of milk. It was really delicious.

"Sister Qingxing, why are you different from before?"

Wu Xiaodong, who was riding a bike in front, suddenly asked. Xia Qingxing was too abnormal today. Many times he was a little suspicious whether this Sister Qingxing was the one he knew before.

"Is there? What's different?" Xia Qingxi replied casually. Of course she knew it was different. She and her original self were not the same person.

"Everything is different." Wu Xiaodong said, thinking for a moment and then continued:

"But you look really good now."

Xia Qingxi smiled, feeling a little guilty, and didn't want to discuss this topic with him anymore. After a while, she said:

"Brother Xiaodong, I want to discuss something with you?"

"What is it, Sister Qingxi, tell me."

"Can I take your car to and from work in the future? I'll pay for your fare." Xia Qingxi said.

My home is not close to the textile factory. It is really time-consuming and laborious to work hard all day and walk back.

She also thought about whether to buy a bicycle, but if nothing unexpected happened, she would have to work in the factory for another month before joining the army. Buying a bicycle that she couldn't take with her was not a good idea.

Besides, she didn't know how to ride a bicycle, so it would take her some time to learn how to ride one. After thinking it over, she decided that it would be most economical to ride Wu Xiaodong's bike.

"Of course." Wu Xiaodong agreed immediately:

"You don't have to pay for the fare. Just buy me an ice cream stick once a week. You can buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative and eat it in front of He Shanshan. Haha..."

Xia Qingling listened to his jokes and really liked this cheerful brother Xiaodong more and more.

Soon, the two returned to the yard where they lived. Xia Qingling jumped off the bike, said "thank you" to Wu Xiaodong, and walked home.

Just after walking a short distance, Mai Miao ran over in a hurry, pulled her home with excitement, and said enviously:

"Qingxiong, go home and see what good things Brother Jingxie bought for you."
