After being so angry at Shi Qi, Wang Lihua no longer had any thoughts of going into the city with her or taking advantage of her.
He turned around angrily and strode into the yard like a puffed-up toad.
Shi Qi looked at her back, waved his hand, and said sincerely:
"Sister Zhang, what I just said is from the bottom of my heart. You must take it to heart."
Seeing Wang Lihua stop for half a step and then speed up, Shi Qi almost laughed out loud.
Humph, a troublemaker, she has to deal with too much in the workplace in the future.
Compared with those workplace witches in later generations, Wang Lihua is far behind.
The sound of a car horn came from a distance. Shi Qi turned around, took a few steps forward and waved.
Seeing someone, the driver stepped on the brakes and stopped the car steadily in front of the residence.
Dust was flying everywhere. Shi Qi fanned away the dust with his hands, quickly got on the bus, paid for the ticket, and sat by the back window.
The bus swayed forward.
Shi Qi looked at the scenery outside the car window, humming a song, with his left hand on his knee, tapping rhythmically.
Given Wang Lihua's character, she will definitely find a way to make it up to her later after suffering a loss at her hands today.
She had to think of a way to get rid of this woman directly, otherwise she would have trouble later.
Half an hour later, Shiqi got off the bus at the intersection.
The car honked and drove away.
Shiqi stood under the bus stop sign that read "I love my country", looking at the old-fashioned streets and alleys in front of him, his eyes shining.
Wide streets, cement roads, old-style street lights, and supply and marketing cooperatives with people coming and going.
There are colorful shop signs and old songs coming from every store.
Everything before my eyes was completely different from the busy and crowded steel forests of later generations.
Shi Qi took out the purchase order and looked at it for a few seconds.
Most of the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other daily necessities can be purchased in supply and marketing cooperatives and grocery stores.
But these are heavy and difficult to carry, so I'll buy them when I go back.
Looking at the vendors on both sides of the street, Shiqi thought about his plan and decided to go to the clothing stores in the city first.
This time, I brought both meat coupons and cloth coupons with me.
Shi Qi planned to use it directly when a suitable one came along.
The timeline in this article is somewhat special. Starting next year, the use of cloth coupons and meat coupons will be cancelled.
There is no use in hoarding these things, so Shi Qi plans to use them up as soon as possible to avoid wasting them.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me where the largest clothing store is here?"
After looking around for a few times, Shi Qi stopped an older woman with a child and asked for directions with a smile.
Most people of this era are enthusiastic.
Seeing Shiqi being so polite, the elder sister warmly pointed in the direction:
"Go straight along this road, turn left in front, and the third store is the largest clothing store in the area."
Afraid that Shi Qi couldn't find the way, the eldest sister took the child by the hand and said cheerfully:
"Big sister, if you really can't find it, I'll take you there."
Shiqi politely thanked him and declined:
"Don't bother sister-in-law, I can go there by myself."
Smiling, he rubbed the top of the child's head, said goodbye to his elder sister, and walked along the street.
There were vendors selling food on both sides of the road. Shi Qi saw one selling wontons and swallowed his saliva.
Having eaten a bowl of porridge in the morning, Shi Qi's stomach rumbled at the aroma of wontons.
There is still important work to do, so go hungry for now.
Walking to the door of the clothing store, Shi Qi looked at the busy store and his eyes fell on the sign of the clothing store.
'Popular clothing store'
This name is quite popular.
It's the same name as a hotel.
There were a lot of people in the clothing store, some trying on clothes, some choosing fabrics, and the store consisting of two storefronts was packed.
When he stepped into the clothing store, Shi Qi found that there was only one salesperson in the store, and he was very busy.
When he saw Shi Qi come in, he didn't even have time to come over to greet him.
Just let her look around and choose whatever she wants, there are both ready-made clothes and cloth.
There was a lot of noise.
After looking at the store's exhibits, Shiqi first went to the ready-made clothes section.
Then I looked at the fabrics available in the store and had a rough idea in mind.
This clothing store is low- to mid-range consumption.
The ready-made clothes and fabrics in the store are very ordinary, in line with the aesthetic of the era, but there is nothing special.
The reason for such good business is entirely due to its prime location and public demand.
Shiqi had held a fashion show in her previous life, but her clothing positioning did not match this store, so she didn't waste her time here.
After exchanging the cloth coupons for cloth, Shiqi planned to go to the place where sewing machines were sold.
After stopping other people on the street to ask, Shi Qi took the wrong road twice before he found the only store selling sewing machines at the corner of an alley.
"Hey, Lao Chen, please help me fix the sewing machine.
I have to deliver the goods tomorrow morning. If I’m late, I’ll have to pay for it!”
As Shi Qi walked into the store, a man in his forties wearing a blue jacket and with a bald head was hurriedly pulled out by an older woman with curly hair.
"Sister Wang, don't worry. I have a guest here. I'll go with you after I'm done with him."
Old Chen shook off Sister Wang's hand, looked at Shi Qi, and said enthusiastically:
"Young comrade, do you want to see sewing machines? I have all kinds of styles here. You can come in and take a look and take your time to choose."
Sister Wang stood aside, feeling extremely anxious as her cheongsam was only about to be finished in the last bit.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, the sewing machine broke down.
For this order, she collected a deposit of ten yuan from the customer, and if the delivery time was exceeded, she had to pay three times the amount as compensation, and there must be no mistakes.
Seeing the sewing machine shop owner pulling Shiqi to introduce him, he couldn't stand it anymore and hurried forward to pull Shiqi:
"Sorry, big sister, I have something urgent to do right now. Can you come back and look at the sewing machine later?"
