She has seen all kinds of military wives in the family compound, some are aggressive, some are cowardly, some are scheming, some are generous, some are two-faced...but this is the first time she has seen one with social phobia.
The group of people entered the city in a mighty procession.
It was August, and the sun was at its strongest. People's faces turned red in a short time.
Xiao Fangfang ran to the lotus pond over there, picked a few lotus leaves, and put one on everyone's head. Everyone felt cool immediately.
The more Qiu Shushen looked at Xiao Fangfang, the more satisfied she became. "This child is really considerate and thoughtful."
Then he sighed again.
What a pity, he can’t speak.
The two children, Dongdong and Tiantian, were impatient to hold up the lotus leaves. They were not afraid of the sun and ran in front, jumping and skipping, leading the way.
Amber Huai didn't want to go shopping, he said he wanted to see the ancient buildings in the city by himself.
Yau Shu-shen was left to his own devices.
They then took over the supply and marketing building.
An Hua now understood that the supply in the county town was limited to begin with. Many things that were common in the provincial capital became in short supply in the county town. If she wanted to buy something she was satisfied with today, she had to go find Sister Ma.
An Hua asked Qiu Shushen to take Xiao Fangfang and the children for a walk first while she went to look for someone.
There were quite a lot of people in the supply and marketing building today. Qiu Shushen kept her eyes on the two children and followed them around, accidentally getting separated from Xiao Fangfang.
Xiao Fangfang turned around twice and didn't see Qiu Shushen, so she suddenly panicked.
This was a strange place, she couldn't speak yet, and she felt a sense of fear in her heart.
However, Xiao Fangfang was not a naturally timid person and she quickly mustered up her courage.
It doesn’t matter, just wait here, your sister-in-law will come to find you.
After calming down, Xiao Fangfang's attention was attracted by the surrounding goods.
She was right in front of the wardrobe.
There were rows of brand new clothes hanging behind the counter, and Xiao Fangfang saw a red long-sleeved top at first glance.
She didn't know what material it was, she just knew it was beautiful, extremely beautiful, and as pink as the petals of peach blossoms on branches in March.
Xiao Fangfang couldn't help but move closer, staring at the dress in a daze.
"Comrade, please try it on. This dress is our new arrival and it's selling very well. We only have one left." The salesperson actually took the dress off and showed it to Xiao Fangfang.
Xiao Fangfang waved her hands quickly.
The salesperson smiled and said, "It's okay, just give it a try. It's free to try."
The salesperson did not look down on Xiao Fangfang, because in her opinion, people who really could not afford it would not come to her counter. Since Xiao Fangfang was standing there, it meant that she had the intention to buy something. Maybe she had saved money for a long time and wanted to buy a nice piece of clothing. Young girls always like to dress up and are willing to spend money on themselves.
The salesperson's words were like a spell, prompting Xiao Fangfang to put on the dress.
Yes, try it and don’t pay.
"Oh, it looks like it was tailor-made for you. It looks great and fits you perfectly!"
When Xiao Fangfang looked in the mirror, she was also stunned by herself in the mirror.
The black braids and red clothes made her look more energetic.
"Comrade, buy it. This dress is not expensive. It's only ten yuan."
Xiao Fangfang suddenly came back to her senses.
No no no, it's too expensive.
How could she wear such expensive clothes?
Xiao Fangfang quickly took off her clothes and returned them to the salesperson.
Unexpectedly, the salesperson who was smiling just now suddenly changed his expression and his voice became shrill, "You really don't want to buy it? Then what are you trying? You're wasting my time!"
The salesperson picked up the dress, sniffed it, and frowned in disgust, "How dirty are you? My clothes are stained with stink!"
Xiao Fangfang waved her hands hurriedly, there was no smell on her! She takes a bath very diligently and uses soap!
But Xiao Fangfang couldn't speak and couldn't explain.
The salesperson saw that she was mute and looked at her with even more contempt.
"Whose mute is this? Just let him out like that? No one cares?"
People gathered around to look at him, and the salesperson became more and more excited. "How dare you shop at our wardrobe counter when you have no money in your pocket? Do you just want to wear our new clothes for free? This kind of behavior must be severely cracked down on. If everyone comes here to wear our clothes like you, our clothes will be tainted with a shabby smell. How can we still sell them?"
Being pointed at, looked down upon and ridiculed, Xiao Fangfang was so embarrassed that she almost cried. After all, she was a young girl who had just come from the countryside and had a bit of inferiority complex.
At this moment, she felt as if everyone around her was laughing at her poverty.
"How can there be a smell of poverty and sourness? Why can't I smell it? I smell a foul breath instead."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Fangfang raised her head.
Woohoo, sister-in-law...
