Bai Ruozhen felt a little sorry to see her like this. She sighed and comforted her, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's go buy some stationery later. I haven't written a letter to my family yet."
"Yeah." Zhu Guixia collected her thoughts and several people entered the department store together.
The department store in Yancheng has three floors. The first floor sells clothes, the second floor sells televisions, radios, watches and other things. As for what is sold on the third floor, they have never been there.
Li Aihong said, "I plan to buy some cloth to make summer clothes in advance. Do you want to buy some?" It was just after the Chinese New Year, and everyone got some cloth coupons from home. Usually, they didn't have the cloth coupons to buy what they wanted.
Bai Ruozhen nodded and said, "I want to buy something too." In order to get her to agree to go to the countryside, Bai Ruoxin not only gave her money, but also prepared cloth coupons and other things prepared by Li Qiulan.
Although it is just spring now, summer will be here soon. She is not good at cooking, so she has to prepare in advance.
As for Li Ming and the others, they did not comment on this. They still wanted to buy some cloth and ask the female educated youth to help make clothes.
The group entered the department store, but after just a quick look around, they lost interest. After all, they were from the provincial capital. Although the department store in the provincial capital also had three floors, it was much larger than the one in Yancheng and sold more things.
Xu Dahe led them to the cloth counter, and Bai Ruozhen saw a girl about twenty years old sitting behind the counter, talking boredly to the person next to her.
"Changlan." Li Aihong and Gu Changlan knew each other and greeted each other first.
Gu Changlan looked up and saw them and waved, "Why are you here? Come here quickly."
Bai Ruozhen followed behind and came up to them. Gu Changlan looked at them and said, "These are the new educated youth..."
Li Aihong smiled and nodded, "Yes, and they are all from the provincial capital. Changlan, we want to buy some summer fabrics. Do you have any now?"
Gu Changlan glanced at Bai Ruozhen and said, "If others don't have it, you must have it." As she spoke, she squatted down to look for fabric under the counter, then brought out two rolls of fabric, one bundle of floral fabric and the other bundle of black fabric.
"These two bundles were just found in the warehouse. I was planning to dispose of them, but now that you happened to come, I'll give you a bargain." Gu Changlan said.
Upon hearing this, the people who were planning to buy cloth cheered up. However, the male educated youth felt a little helpless. Black was fine, but they had no use for floral ones.
But Gu Changlan didn't care about the men. She only addressed Li Aihong and the others, "Let me make it clear first, we all need cloth coupons, but we only need half."
"That's great." Li Aihong and Wang Jun quickly took out their money to get their tickets. Seeing Bai Ruozhen and the others still staring blankly, they hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get your money and tickets."
Bai Ruozhen came back to his senses, exclaimed, and quickly started searching.
Gu Changlan pulled out the cloth according to the amount they requested. When it was Bai Ruozhen's turn, she asked, "You are Zhenzhen, right?"
Bai Ruozhen was startled and nodded blankly, "Oh, yes." Gu Changqing's sister had never seen her.
"I heard Xiaoli talk about you." Gu Changlan said, "How much do you want?"
Bai Ruozhen glanced at Li Aihong and said, "I want to have one more set of clothes than Sister Aihong."
Gu Changlan nodded and pulled the cloth, "I have something and I'd like you to bring it back for me."
"Ah?" Bai Ruozhen wanted to refuse. After all, she had said that to Aunt Qiu today. It would be so embarrassing to go to her house now.
"Unhappy?" Gu Changlan asked.
Bai Ruozhen shook his head without even thinking, "No."
After shaking her head, she felt very upset. Why did she shake her head? Wouldn't it be fine if she just accepted it?
Gu Changlan was a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it. She took out a bundle from behind the counter and said, "Help me give the things to my mother. Thank you."
Bai Ruozhen said in a daze, "You're welcome." If it really doesn't work, go back and ask Guixia to help her send it.
After buying the cloth, they went to buy pens and writing paper. Only after buying everything did they go to the bathhouse.
Bai Ruozhen arrived at the bathhouse with great anticipation and blushed when she saw the situation inside.
There were actually a lot of people taking a shower together.
And you have to take off your clothes in the outer room and then go to the inner room to wash.
Although they were both women, Bai Ruozhen felt really embarrassed when she saw each other's bodies.
She even wanted to give up taking a shower, it was so embarrassing. She didn't know if her daughter Xiaoli had ever taken a shower here before. She really wanted to go out.
"Zhenzhen, what are you thinking about? Take off your clothes quickly. Let's go in and take a good shower. It's not easy to come here once." Li Aihong nudged her and began to find an empty cabinet to take off her clothes. The others were very happy to take a shower. After all, being able to take a comfortable shower in the bathhouse was much better than just being wiped off at the educated youth camp.
Bai Ruozhen stared blankly at Zhu Guixia, Li Aihong and the others who had taken off their clothes and were standing there naked. He really wanted to run away.
"Zhenzhen, hurry up, we are waiting for you." said Li Aihong.
Wang Jun glanced at her and said with a smile, "Are you shy?"
Bai Ruozhen's secret was exposed. She bit her lip and lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed. She thought back to when she was waiting to be married, she had a bathroom all to herself. When she took a bath, only Xiaoli served her. She could wash however she wanted. But now, there were several people in the room, and there were other people inside. Everyone was looking at each other's bodies...
No matter how she thought about it, she felt embarrassed.
"Zhenzhen, it's okay. We're all girls, there's nothing to be afraid of." Wang Jun smiled and raised his eyebrows. "How about I help you?"
Bai Ruozhen quickly covered his clothes and shook his head, then gritted his teeth and decided to do it himself. He would have to do it again in the future anyway, so he couldn't just not wash it.
"I'll do it myself." Bai Ruozhen said as he began to take off his cotton coat and trousers.
Li Aihong and the others felt a little cold, so they said, "Let's go in first. After you take off your clothes and bring your things, come in and find us. Remember to bring soap, okay?"
