Su Runrun and Fu Wenjing are also frequent visitors to the department store and are very familiar with the layout inside the department store.
After entering, the two went straight to the meat selling area.
It was still early, but there were already quite a few people coming to buy meat and they had already started queuing up.
Fu Wenjing walked over and stood at the end of the line, then turned to Su Ruanruan and said, "I'll just queue here, you see if you want to buy something else."
Su Ruanruan also felt that there was no need for the two of them to stand in line together. "Okay, I'll go for a walk and come find you later."
After leaving the meat shop, Su Ruanruan walked towards the counter.
The weather is getting cooler, and the autumn here is usually relatively short, so we will have to wear thick clothes soon. I can plan to get some fabric and make a new set of clothes for Fu Chunshan and Wang Maoni.
The winter clothes of Fu Siwa and his two siblings were already very old. They had been worn for many years and were covered with patches.
After wearing cotton clothes for a long time, the cotton becomes hard and no longer keeps warm, so we need to give them each a set of winter clothes.
If this happened in the previous life, when changing seasons and buying new clothes, one would just go out and buy them.
If you have money, go to the mall; if you don’t have money, go to the wholesale market and buy whatever you want.
But now, making a new set of clothes is not that easy.
You need cloth coupons and cotton coupons.
In a family, if one person can make a new cotton-padded jacket every year, it is already enough to be envied.
It would attract even more attention if I made new cotton-padded clothes for five people at once.
Not to mention others, just how to tell Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan is a problem.
Su Ruanruan stood not far from the cloth counter, thinking about these things in her mind, and her expression became more and more serious.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a chuckle.
"Comrade Su, what's wrong? Why are you standing here with such a serious face? Don't you have money to buy cloth?"
Hearing this familiar yet annoying voice, Su Ruanruan frowned subconsciously.
Without even turning around to look, Su Runruan knew that Zhao Manman must be standing not far away.
Ever since Zhao Manman and Chen Guofu got married, Su Runruan has also paid special attention to her.
But during this period of time, Zhao Manman did not do anything weird.
On the contrary, people in the compound who originally hated her now started to speak well of her.
She said that although she was a stepmother, she treated Chen Guofu's three children as her own and was very kind to them.
Not only that, he helps everyone in the compound whenever he can.
I heard that many military wives got a lot of the things they wanted from Zhao Manman.
The relationship between people is developed through getting along with each other and is also related to interests.
When others can't help you, if you don't like them, you will become very picky.
But once the other party can help you, it’s completely different. It can be said that it’s good no matter how you look at it.
Zhao Manman is like a treasure bag. No matter what the military wives need, she can find a way to help them get it.
As a result, people's impression of her became better and better, and she also made a few good friends.
Although she didn't know what Zhao Manman's purpose was, she hadn't caused trouble for such a long time, and Su Runruan didn't pay too much attention to her.
I didn't expect to meet you here at this time.
Su Ruanruan didn't say anything, but Zhao Manman walked forward.
"Comrade Su, why don't you say anything? Do you have insufficient coupons to buy fabric?
If you don’t have enough, just tell me. I just happen to have some cloth coupons that I don’t need. I can lend them to you. You can give them to me when you have more money in the future.”
When Zhao Manman said these words, there was a smile on her face and her voice was very gentle.
An older sister nearby heard this and immediately looked at Su Ruanruan with envy.
The implication seemed to be that Su Runrun was so lucky to have such a generous friend.
Su Ruanruan simply chose to ignore her elder sister's look.
As for Zhao Manman...
Su Ruanruan curled the corners of her lips and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
Zhao Manman frowned and looked at Su Ruanruan in confusion, "Why not? Are you just worried that you won't be able to pay it back in the future? It doesn't matter if you really can't pay it back..."
"No need." Su Ruanruan interrupted Zhao Manman directly, "I don't like to owe favors to others. Besides, our relationship is not that good."
The last time we spoke, we had a falling out.
It hasn't been such a long time since then, and Zhao Manman seems to be fine again. Su Runrun really doesn't understand what she is thinking.
After being rejected repeatedly, Zhao Manman's expression became a little bad, and she even showed a bit of sadness.
"Comrade Su, I know you have never liked me, but I don't understand why you don't like me.
After all, we live in the same compound, and the men train together. We see each other every day, so if we have anything to say, why don't we just say it out loud?
If you think I did something wrong, you can tell me directly and I will definitely change it. "
The eldest sister, who had been watching them from the side, could no longer hold back after hearing this.
She frowned and looked at Su Ruanruan unhappily, "What's wrong with you, comrade? She has apologized to you so kindly, why are you still refusing to give in?
From what she said just now, you all live together and are neighbors. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Is there anything you can't talk about? You can't hold grudges like that!"
Su Ruanruan was so angry that she laughed after being scolded by a stranger.
Su Ruanruan turned around and looked at the elder sister with interest.
"Sister, who are you? Do you know what the relationship between her and I is? Do you know what happened in the past? Are you here to persuade me to be magnanimous?
Haven’t you heard the saying that you should never advise others to do good unless you have experienced their suffering?
If someone wants to steal your man, and then turns around and apologizes to you, saying that they want to reconcile with you, would you also shake hands and make peace with them? "
The eldest sister was stunned by the question and her brain seemed to be a little insufficient.
After a long while, the eldest sister finally reacted and pointed at Zhao Manman, "You, you, you...did you want to steal someone else's man before? How could you do that? I was just speaking up for you, you were really blind.
If I were you, I would be so ashamed. How could you have the nerve to get close to someone?
I've already told you that I don't want to bother with you, why are you so shameless? "
This elder sister is like a fence-sitter, she goes whichever way the wind blows.
Hear the wind spread out, and it's raining. That's what she is talking about.
After listening to a few words from Zhao Manman, he stood on Zhao Manman's side.
Now, after listening to Su Ruanruan's words, he stood on Su Ruanruan's side again.
Su Runrun would not take such people's words to heart, but Zhao Manman obviously couldn't do that.
