Song Fuyu and Yan's mother took a car to the department store together.

Without shopping for long, the two went straight to the counter selling fabrics.

"Xiao Yu, you can also see if there is any fabric you like. Your father doesn't usually have to make clothes, and I have saved up a lot of fabric coupons, and some of them will expire if they are not used."

"Okay, let me take a look first, you choose for Sister Lixia."

The fabrics sold in Jingshi department stores are much more abundant than those sold in Qinshi, and the colors and patterns are also richer.

He looked around and stopped in front of the satin fabric.

I didn't touch it, but quietly chose the color I liked.

This kind of fabric is obviously inappropriate to wear in this era, but if it is used to make pajamas, it will definitely feel good to wear when sleeping.

I asked about the price, and it was really expensive. One foot was nearly three yuan. No wonder the salesperson next to her didn't go to greet Yan's mother, but stayed by her side.

"Comrade, do you want it?"

"No hurry, let me take a look first."

She didn't plan to buy anything today, and if she wanted to buy anything, she would have to wait until she was alone.

People of this generation have countless patches on their clothes, and almost no one has the concept of wearing pajamas to sleep.

If she wanted to buy it, Yan's mother might ask her what she was going to use it for. If she said she was going to buy it to make pajamas, Yan's mother would probably find it strange.

"Xiao Yu, what do you think of this color?"

Mother Yan pointed at a piece of cloth that was somewhat khaki in color and asked Song Fuyu.

"It looks good. I think it's okay. She should like it."

"Do you know how tall Lixia is?"

"It should be about the same size as your height and weight. Just buy what you need."

"Why don't you pick out a darker cloth for her? Didn't you say she usually wears black clothes? I'm afraid she doesn't like light colors."

"Okay~"

Song Fuyu could understand Yan's mother's feelings. Since she had this idea, he would just go along with her.

She just wanted to make up for what she owed to her daughter within her ability.

In the end, Yan's mother picked one piece each.

"Xiao Yu, do you have the fabric you chose?"

"Not yet. I actually have a lot of clothes. If I want to buy new ones, I'll buy them when I go to Lu City. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to move them back and forth."

"Don't be polite to mom, just tell her if you like her. We are a family, so we don't need to be polite."

"I know mom, I just don't really need it for now."

"Okay then, let Ziyuan buy it for you when you need it."

After Yan's mother paid the money and they were about to leave with the cloth, suddenly a female comrade came up to greet Yan's mother enthusiastically.

"Aunt, how come you have time to go shopping today?"

"I just heard from my colleague that he saw you, and I thought he was lying to me."

Song Fuyu had never seen this girl before, but he heard her call Aunt Yanmu, and considering that she worked in a department store, she should be Yan Ziyuan's cousin Yan Ziyu.

Last time, his aunt asked Yan Ziyu to take her to the department store, but she directly refused.

"Today is my day off, so I'm just out for a stroll."

"If you want to go shopping, ask me to accompany you. After all, I work here."

"I just don't want to delay your work time, and I just want to buy some fabric."

"Aunt, who is this lesbian next to you?"

"Ziyuan's daughter-in-law."

"So you're my sister-in-law. It's our first time meeting, so I don't know you. I hope you can forgive me. The first time you came to Beijing, I wanted to go see you, but I was busy with work and couldn't take a leave."

"After all, department stores are state-owned enterprises. They are not like you who went to the countryside as educated youth and can just go out for a walk when you have nothing to do."

Although it was the first time that Song Fuyu met her cousin Yan Ziyuan, she had to admit that she really looked like her biological mother.

Although he spoke politely, there was a sting in his words, and his facial expression was a fake smile, giving off an air of superiority.

"You must be joking, cousin. I'm not a national leader. Why would you need to ask for leave to come and see me?"

"Sister-in-law, do you want to buy anything when you come to our department store this time? Do you want me to accompany you to look around and explain it to you?"

“Can I get a discount?”

"ah?"

"What I mean is that if you take me shopping and I like something, can you give me less money?"

"That's impossible."

"Since you can't do it, I won't bother you. If your supervisor sees you slacking off, I'll be guilty."

"Mom, do you want to buy anything else? If not, let's go home. Uncle Wu should still be waiting for us outside."

"No, let's go."

"Cousin, you continue to work. Mom and I will go back first."

Song Fuyu and Yan's mother left the department store.

"Your cousin has learned everything from your aunt. She speaks the same way and is not pleasing to the ear."

"If you don't want to have contact, there's no need to interact too much. Just show your appreciation during festivals."

Even if Yan's mother didn't say anything, she wouldn't have much contact with them.

There is no need to know that there is a pit ahead and then jump into it desperately.

But now that she has met this cousin, she estimates that her aunt or Yan Zilan will appear in front of her soon, or even both of them.

After returning home, Song Fuyu took her sketchbook to the home of Yan's father and mother next door.

The main reason was that the sewing machine was next door. Although Yan's mother didn't know how to make clothes, Yan's father still bought her one.

With Song Fuyu distracting her attention, Yan's mother didn't think too much throughout the day and was discussing clothing styles with her seriously.

In the afternoon, Grandma Yan came to see Mother Yan and joined in.

Later, Grandpa Yan was bored at home and followed along.

When Yan's father came back from the army, only Sister Liu was cooking next door.

When he returned home, he saw four heads huddled around the table, arguing. It was completely different from the sad situation he had imagined when he was in the car.

Before he came back, he was prepared to continue comforting his wife, but the result was completely different from what he had imagined.

When Grandpa Yan saw Father Yan coming back, he immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"Changsheng, what are you going to do about Lixia? When are you going to Qin City?"

"Don't worry, I called Zijun and asked him to take leave immediately and go to Wen City to check the previous situation first. After the investigation is clear, I will take Xiaoyun to Qin City. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to explain to Lixia."

"We should investigate thoroughly, especially the doctor and nurse at the time. What roles did they play? Once we find out, we must not let them off easily."

"Dad, don't worry, I know what to do."

He had been wrong for thirty-one years and had never liked to use his privileges before, but since the other party had endangered his family, he would definitely not let her off easily.
