Bai Qian bought two rounds of black yarn, and then saw that there were new styles of hair accessories: "Do you think this one looks better, or this one?"
She picked up two and compared them.
Ran Jinnian: "Your skin is rosy, so any color looks good on you."
"Then I'll take both of them." Bai Qian was a girl who loved beauty.
"Hailey, do you want to buy something?"
Ran Jinnian noticed that she hadn't bought anything.
Xiao Haili shook her head: "I don't have anything I want to buy."
"Haili, you should treat yourself better in this life. Look at your shoes, they're all out of style, do you want to buy a new pair?" Bai Qian glanced at the shoes that Xiao Haili had repaired.
She felt that Xiao Haili was not even thirty years old, and she didn't know why she was so frugal.
"Buy a pair of leather shoes, they're durable and good-looking," Ran Jinnian suggested.
"Yes, leather shoes can last seven or eight years."
Bai Qian pulled Xiao Haili to the shoe counter, looked left and right, and pointed to a pair of black leather shoes: "Take a look at those leather shoes."
She was referring to a classic leather shoe made of high-quality calfskin.
Xiao Haili fell in love with it the moment she touched it.
"Try on a pair of size 37." Ran Jinnian knew her shoe size.
After trying them on, Xiao Haili didn't want to take them off. These leather shoes were so comfortable.
"How much?" she asked.
"Eight yuan a pair."
The salesperson didn't even lift an eyelid.
Xiao Haili was startled; she had never worn such expensive shoes before.
“These are Hai brand shoes. They’re good quality and reasonably priced,” Bai Qian said.
"Let me look at something else."
Xiao Haili tried on two more pairs, which were much cheaper, but neither was as comfortable as the first pair.
"Or you could go for the first pair. They're a bit pricey, but the style and quality are excellent. Plus, they'll last for many years, so it's not a bad deal."
Ran Jinnian noticed that Xiao Haili was hesitant.
Xiao Haili thought for a moment and said, "I'll stick with the three-yuan pair."
Ran Jinnian guessed that she was reluctant to part with it, but it was already very kind of her to be willing to sell.
After buying a pair of leather shoes, Xiao Haili refused to buy any more.
"Jin Nian, is there anything else you want to buy?"
"I need to buy some seasonings and some corn flour." Ran Jinnian bought some more things for the house, and her backpack soon became heavy.
Bai Qian joked, "Getting married really changes things. When you buy things, you only think about your family and don't buy anything for yourself."
“I have everything, I don’t need to buy anything.” Ran Jinnian bought Lu Jinyuan two more pairs of underwear.
The three of them finished visiting the supply and marketing cooperative around noon.
Bai Qian was very generous: "Let's go to a state-run restaurant for dinner, it's on me."
"Let's split the cost among the three of us," Xiao Haili suggested.
"Oh, why are you being so polite? It's my treat."
Bai Qian disagreed.
The three of them went to a state-run restaurant. Bai Qian ordered a plate of braised pig's head, pickled cabbage and tofu, stir-fried pork intestines, and a plate of dumplings.
They also ordered three bottles of soda.
"Jin Nian, Hai Li, let's go to the county town next time and go see a movie."
There is no movie theater in this town, and Bai Qian hasn't watched a movie in a long time.
When is the next time?
Ran Jinnian really enjoys watching movies.
“When all three of us have time, we go to the county a day early and return the next day,” Bai Qian said, because everyone does it this way.
Xiao Haili took a sip of her soda: "I only have weekends off."
"I'm fine with either."
Ran Jinnian is not working right now, so she has plenty of free time.
“Then let’s wait until I have a weekend off.” Bai Qian raised her soda bottle: “Come on, cheers. It’s nice to meet you all.”
"I hope we'll be good friends for life."
Ran Jinnian spoke.
"We'll always be good friends." Xiao Haili cherishes this sentiment deeply.
