After discussing this matter, Zheng Hong took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to pack up the braised pork today?"
Since you have gained benefits, you have to express your sincerity, otherwise it will not last long. Zheng Hong understands this very well.
"Big sister wants it. Can you take two? My friend came with me today."
Although it was an extra portion, Zheng Hong agreed after thinking about it. After all, her father-in-law was the chef, so it was something she could do. At worst, she could just contribute her own portion.
Anyway, her husband worked at a slaughterhouse and her father-in-law was a chef, so they weren't that short of meat. But wool was different; it was hard to buy without tickets and connections.
After thinking it through, Zheng Hong readily agreed, "Okay, no problem. Give me all the lunch boxes."
Jian Shu turned around and asked, "Sister Banxia, did you bring your lunch box?"
"I brought it." After saying that, he immediately ran over.
I originally brought lunch boxes to pack up the leftovers, but I didn't expect them to be so good at eating. They actually finished it all.
But I didn't expect there would be a pleasant surprise.
He handed the lunch box to Zheng Hong and paid the bill.
While waiting, the three of them chatted together. Zheng Hong wanted to build a good relationship with Jianshu, and Jianshu did not reject her kindness. After all, more friends mean more paths.
Anyway, she works in a department store, so it is relatively convenient for her to buy defective items. It doesn't matter if she sells some items that she doesn't need to Zheng Hong.
Anyway, at least now it seems that she is a good person and not the kind of person who is ignorant or overreaching.
Chen Banxia has a straightforward personality and a good temper, and can get along well with many people.
While the three of them were chatting animatedly, the braised pork was ready. Jianshu and the other two said goodbye to Zheng Hong and left with some reluctance.
Not to mention, maybe because she has more experience, the gossip about Zheng Hong is much more exciting and interesting than that about Chen Banxia.
When they left, the three of them called each other: Sister Hong, Sister Shu, and Sister Banxia.
Walking down the street again, the two of them slowed down their pace this time. Previously, they had been anxious to eat because they were afraid the food was running out, but now they were too full to walk fast.
Because the distance is not far, even if you walk slowly, you will arrive soon. At this time, the department store has also opened for business.
This time, the two went to the fabric area first.
Jianshu wanted to see if there were any nice-looking clothing styles, and Chen Banxia also wanted to buy some fabric to take back, which was the task her mother gave her before she came out.
However, Jianshu was a little disappointed with the style inside. She decided to continue wearing her green military uniform, which was still much more fashionable.
Chen Banxia did buy some twill and work cloth.
After leaving the fabric counter, the two walked to the watch counter, and Jianshu remembered that he didn't have a watch yet.
Jian Yucheng had originally agreed to give Jian Shu a watch as a gift when he started working, but he didn't expect that he would never wait until then.
Thinking of this, Jianshu felt a little depressed. She didn't know if it was because of the fusion of memories, but sometimes she felt that she had always been Jianshu and had never changed.
Thinking about how I have been checking the time on my mobile phone recently, I specifically checked it with Sister Liu using her watch.
This still has many inconveniences, so it is better to buy a watch.
But I don't have a watch ticket, so I'm looking to see if anyone else has one. If they do, I can trade with them. If that doesn't work, I'll just have to try my luck on the black market.
But there is no need to rush. So many days have passed anyway. Maybe you can get it if you wait a little longer.
At this time, Chen Banxia turned around and asked Jianshu for his opinion: "Shushu, do you think I should buy a watch for use in the countryside?"
"Sister Banxia, watches are valuable items, and not many people have them. If no one else has one and you have one, it's easy for someone to target you and cause trouble.
"I think you could first see if any of your fellow educated youth have any. If they do, you can write back and ask Auntie to buy them for you and send them over," Jianshu advised gently.
If Chen Banxia wore a watch to the countryside, others would definitely know that she came from a wealthy family and was very favored.
By then, she will definitely become a hot commodity in the eyes of everyone, and will encounter all kinds of people fawning over her, trying to please her, or plotting against her.
"I'm a bit conflicted. If I buy it, it'll be convenient for checking the time, but it'll also make things more likely to go wrong.
There was a female classmate in our class who got a watch, and many people gossiped about her behind her back.
Since you also think it’s not good, I won’t buy it for now and will see later.”
Jianshu was not very surprised by Chen Banxia's choice. After all, the reason why Jianshu reminded her of some things again and again was not only because of Aunt Chen's kindness, but also because she would think carefully and adopt other people's opinions.
If the person doesn't listen to what we say, Jianshu won't waste time talking to him or her and make him or her feel annoying.
Since they had no intention of buying anything, the two of them didn't stay at the watch counter for long.
At this time, Jianshu saw that there were sewing machines for sale and thought of the fabric he had bought.
She had bought the fabric, but she didn't know how to sew. What could she do? There were no tailor shops anymore, and almost every household made their own clothes.
Some of her previous clothes were bought ready-made, while others were made for her by Meng Ying.
Seeing Jianshu looking at the sewing machine with a somewhat sad face, Chen Banxia asked curiously, "Shushu, what are you thinking about? Do you want to buy a sewing machine?"
"No, I bought some fabric a few days ago and then I remembered that I don't know how to make clothes. I'm thinking about what to do." Jianshu replied weakly.
Chen Banxia patted Jianshu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's not worth it. You can go find my mother. My mother is very good at making clothes. Look at my clothes, they are all made by her."
Jian Shu looked at Chen Banxia's clothes. Although she didn't know much about them, they looked of good quality. She had never expected such a skilled person to be right next to her.
"Then I have to trouble you again." Jian Shu felt a little embarrassed. After all, Aunt Chen had helped her a lot, and now she had to trouble her again.
"Hey, that's no trouble. If it's you, my mother will definitely be happy with it."
"Okay, I'll go find Aunt Chen and ask her for help then." Jian Shu didn't plan to do it for the time being. He would wait a little longer and then make winter clothes directly.
I had bought almost everything I wanted, and then I thought about meeting Zheng Hong at four o'clock, so I didn't go shopping any further.
After taking the things they had placed here in the morning, they headed towards home.
After returning home, Jianshu looked at the time and found that it was only three o'clock. He did not rush out, but entered the space and rested on the lounge chair in the space.
After running all day today, her feet were sore and she felt even more tired than going to work. It seems that shopping is not suitable for her, a homebody.
Anyway, I don't think there's anything interesting to do today. I'll try to avoid shopping in the future. Isn't it uncomfortable to lie at home? Shopping is a bit tiring.
