Chapter 14: Buying Clothes



Because she slept a lot in the afternoon, Lu Jiaxin was still very energetic at night. The room was a bit stuffy, so she took the mosquito coils and cattail leaf fan and went out. When she got out, she found Lu Jiajie sitting under the jujube tree.

Jia Xin lit the mosquito coil and placed it under a stone chair before sitting down: "Fifth brother, I slept too much at noon. You have to go to work tomorrow, why don't you go to sleep?"

Lu Jiajie smiled and said, "I can't sleep either. Jiaxin, your yard is really nice. It's not only cool but you can also see the stars."

It wasn't that he couldn't sleep, but he couldn't sleep because his mind was in a mess thinking about Lu Jiaxin's words. His mother-in-law's house was 50 square meters, divided into three rooms, and he and his wife had a separate room. Compared with many people, the accommodation conditions were very good. But the house was like a steamer in the summer, and he was afraid of sweating, so the summer was particularly difficult.

Before, the conditions were difficult, but recently, due to some changes, the attitudes of his father-in-law and mother-in-law changed drastically. Recently, he dreamed of getting a house, but unfortunately, the company was short of houses and he had little experience, so he was not eligible.

Jiaxin didn't talk about business. It's enough to just say a few words. In the early days of reform and opening up, many people looked down on self-employed people, which led to the fact that most of the people who did business were educated youth who returned to the city and young people without jobs. If she talked too much, Lu Jiajie would quit his job to start a business, and the fifth sister-in-law and her family would definitely be dissatisfied with her. If the business failed and they were in debt, not only would the relationship be strained, but the fifth brother would have even less status in the Ma family.

Lu Jiajie did not mention the business. He asked Lu Jiaxin why she did not call the police after she lost her memory: "Third uncle has a comrade-in-arms working in the procuratorate over there. If you had called the police at that time, you would have returned home long ago."

Jia Xin had already thought of a pretext: "Before Xue Mao saved me, he also saved a girl named Xiao Cui, who was one year older than me. Her family lived in a rural area below the ancient capital. In order to get a high bride price, her parents wanted to marry her to a widower in his forties who worked in a meat processing factory. The widower liked to beat his wives. It was said that his previous wife was beaten to death by him. Xiao Cui didn't want to be beaten to death, so she ran away secretly."

Through contact, Jiaxin found that this girl was cunning and loved money, so she didn't like her. But when she left, Xue Mao said that he would give her the stall business, and Jiaxin didn't refuse. She didn't want to make friends with such a person, but women can only live well if they are more cunning and selfish.

The women of the flower-growing families, under the brainwashing of thousands of years, even they themselves think that they should devote everything to their families and children. Fortunately, the younger generation gradually awakened, and the girls began to pay attention to themselves.

Lu Jiajie thought to himself: "Are you worried that you were also forced to marry by your family and ran away, and that they would marry you to a widower when you come back?"

Jia Xin nodded and said, "It's a good thing I didn't come back. Otherwise, if I came back with amnesia, Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi would have thought of other ways to harm me."

When mentioning these two people, Lu Jiajie's face was full of disgust: "Xinxin, those two are vicious and cruel. Don't contact them even if you don't go back to the family compound. If you have any problems, come to me or my brother."

Lu Jiaxin felt that her original body was quite lucky. Her father was a jerk, but her two brothers loved her very much and would help her out when she had problems. She said, "Fifth brother, Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi almost killed me. We can't just let this go."

Lu Jiajie was worried that she might do something wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Xinxin, Zhao Siyi has a bad character, and the Fan family will never let her in. But if you're still angry, I'll have someone spread the news of what she did in her class when she goes to school. With such a reputation, teachers and students will stay away from her."

He can even steal his sister's fiancé. What else can't such a person do? No one dares to associate with such a person who can stab you in the back at any time.

Lu Jiaxin thought his method was too lame: "Fifth brother, she can hook up with her sister's fiancé, why would she be afraid of being criticized? Besides, she is used to pretending to be pitiful. Then she can say that I am jealous of her admission to university and deliberately slandered her. I can't go to the university to explain to everyone one by one."

Seeing that Lu Jiajie wanted to say more, she waved her hand and said, "Fifth brother, don't worry, I won't do anything illegal or criminal. As for them, it's not worth it."

He and Xue Mao lived in the same room, and the bed was too small for two people to sleep in. It happened that Xue Mao took down the doors of the three rooms in the back house to wash, so he just used one of the doors as a bed board to sleep.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't sleep when she returned to her room, so she took out her notebook and wrote down the important things that happened at that time that she remembered. As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. You may forget some things after a long time, so it is safer to write them down on paper.

To prevent being discovered, she used symbols that only she could understand. However, she was born in the 1990s, so she knew very little about the 1980s and 1990s, but she was more familiar with the major events of the next 20 years.

After writing down everything she remembered, Jiaxin looked at her watch and found that it was past ten o'clock. She yawned and climbed into bed. After coming here, her daily routine has become regular. She used to go to bed after twelve o'clock, but now she goes to bed before nine o'clock every day.

If you go to bed early, you get up early. The next day, Lu Jiaxin got up at six o'clock, washed up, and went out to buy breakfast. Knowing that Lu Jiajie liked to eat fried dough sticks, she bought steamed buns and fried dough sticks. Xue Mao had already cooked the porridge, so there was no need to buy it separately.

After buying breakfast, she saw that Lu Jiajie had not gotten up yet. Because he had to go to work, Lu Jiaxin asked Xue Mao to wake him up.

After Lu Jiajie washed up, he saw the fried dough sticks on the table. He took one and took a bite, then said with a smile, "Xinxin, it's customary to set up a few tables after moving into a new house and invite people to come over to liven things up."

Lu Jiaxin knew that the so-called housewarming party was actually a housewarming party. She smiled and said, "We won't invite outsiders. Just you and your eldest brother can come over for a meal."

"good."

After breakfast, Lu Jiajie went to work, while Lu Jiaxin took Xue Mao to buy clothes. She didn't go to the department store because the things there were too expensive, so she went to Xiushui Street.

When Xue Mao got there, he saw that the whole street was lined with stalls selling all kinds of things, including clothes, shoes, socks, embroidery and shoe soles. In addition, there was also a snack stand.

Seeing the constant flow of people in front of the snack stand, Xue Mao said excitedly: "Sister Xin, there are so many people here. If I set up a snack stand here, I will definitely make much more money than before."

He hoped to set up the stall as soon as possible so that he could earn money every day. He often had no food to eat before, and was afraid of being hungry, so he felt anxious when he had free time.

Lu Jiaxin didn't object to Xue Mao setting up a snack stand, but she wouldn't let him come here because the cost-effectiveness was too low. She said, "This place is too far from our home. If we set up a stall here, we have to rent a house here."

Xue Mao gave up when he heard that he had to rent a house. The rent was not cheap, and his sister would not come over. He was unsure if he did it alone.
