It is the weekend at the end of the Gregorian calendar, and people are coming and going on the streets. New Year is coming soon. Many people come with their children to buy new clothes, and the clothing stores along the street are crowded.
Compared with the annex building that is contracted for individuals to set up stalls and sell clothing, the clothing counter in the main building of the department store has less exaggerated traffic. The higher the price, the fewer people will patronize it.
Xu Suizhu parked the Beetle at the back gate of the park in the middle of the street two hundred meters away and walked there for a few minutes.
There are people and cars passing by at the entrance of the department store. Even if I bother to stop and go in, it will be a problem to drive out later.
"Go shopping first?" Xu Suizhu carried a shoulder bag, put the car keys in the bag, and walked to the department store with Lin Yujuan.
Lin Yujuan had done her homework beforehand, and took Xu Suizhu to the home court first: "I asked Teacher Xia yesterday, and she said that this year's batch of down jackets are quite good-looking, and if they weren't a bit expensive, she would want to buy one. Let's take a look first.
Look at the down jacket.”
Xu Suizhu wanted to say: There is no need to buy a down jacket. I have something that is warmer and lighter than a down jacket.
But Lin Yujuan looked like she really wanted to buy it, so it didn't dampen her enthusiasm. I didn't say whether she wanted to buy it or not, just treat it as a joke.
The business at the down jacket counter is much better than other counters. Although there is no crowd, there are three or five customers surrounding the counter, some looking at styles and some trying on clothes, and the scene is quite lively.
"Comrade, show me that purple piece of trouble."
Lin Yujuan glanced around and caught one of the sample clothes at a glance: purple, pinched at the waist, diagonally inserted into the pocket, and decorated with a silver embroidered flower on the pocket.
As soon as she said this, a lesbian next to her also took a fancy to this piece.
The salesperson looked back and said, "This is the only one left. Which one of you wants it?"
"I want!"
"I want!"
The two people who wanted it said in unison.
"I said, it's obvious that I came first." The woman who was grabbing clothes from Lin Yujuan cast an impatient glance, "First come, first served, don't you understand? What you wear looks like a human being, how can you do things like this! You really have no quality!"
Lin Yujuan became angry when she heard this: "Hey, sister, it's right that you come first, first served, but you've been waiting here for a long time and haven't said you want to try it. Who knows whether you want to buy it or not? I want to try it and so will you.
You’re going to try, don’t you mean it on purpose?”
"I'm just watching. I'll let my comrades try it after I've seen it. You, on the other hand, said you wanted to try it as soon as you came here, and then you tried it for a long time and then said you wouldn't buy it. I think you're the one here to stir things up." The other party said obliquely.
He looked Lin Yujuan over and spat, "You have no quality!"
When had Lin Yujuan been treated like this before? Before she got married, she was the sweet daughter of the family. After she got married, she was the wife of the CEO of the Fu Group. Although her temperament was indeed a bit delicate, even if she quarreled with Mr. Fu at home, it was still the fun between husband and wife. She had never been treated like this.
Outsiders have been scornful.
Xu Suizhu hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't be angry, it's okay. It's just a piece of clothing. She wants to buy it. But looking at her waist, it doesn't seem to fit in it."
As soon as this was said, even the salesperson turned his head and snickered.
Not to mention, that man's waist is as thick as a diesel barrel, so he is really not suitable for wearing this kind of waist-stringing garment.
Lin Yujuan immediately disappeared without a trace. She raised her chin and looked at the other party jokingly: "Okay, since the eldest sister comes first, let the eldest sister try it first! If you feel it doesn't suit you and don't want to buy it, I'll try again.
.”
The salesperson picked up the clothes hanger and took off the sample clothes.
Zhao Meihua became angry from shame.
She hadn't thought about buying it at first. She thought these clothes were beautiful, but too expensive. She looked around and couldn't find anything suitable. She just heard someone asking for that purple dress, looked up and fell in love with it.
, and then the scene just happened.
But try it on in front of others. It’s hard to say whether it will suit her body shape. Buy it without trying it on. It’s expensive. A winter coat costs four to five hundred. What a steal! What if I buy it and wear it again?
If it’s not less, wouldn’t 500 yuan be wasted?
I just argued with someone to try it and buy it, but now I changed my mind and said I didn’t want it and felt shameless.
At this moment, someone among the customers recognized Xu Suizhu.
"Teacher Xu? Oh, it's really Teacher Xu! Look at me, I don't even recognize you."
"Who are you?" Although Xu Suizhu shook hands with her, she didn't recognize her.
"I'm Pan Ying, from the Labor Union of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I went to your school to hand in the list of our bureau's former single-parents association. But you weren't there at the time. But I saw your introduction in the promotional window of my lover's workplace.
, in fact, it’s not just me, many units in our county know about you.”
Xu Suizhu was stunned by the honorific "you" she kept saying, and said quickly: "You're welcome, just call me Xiao Xu."
"Teacher Xu is so polite. Our leader was still talking yesterday about what would happen to so many singles in the unit without you taking the lead! Oops, I forgot to introduce..." Pan Ying pulled her best friend beside her and introduced Teacher Xu.
Maybe the outside world still doesn’t know about Lu Chixiao taking a leave of absence without pay to go into business. During the introduction, the Institute of Oceanography was inevitably mentioned. Pan Ying also asked Xu Suizhu: “Why is it that no one from your lover’s workplace came to attend the sorority party this year? Has it been digested internally?
Our leaders also wanted to digest it internally at the beginning, but in the end, a pair was formed..."
Just when Xu Suizhu was about to explain, Zhao Meihua sneered: "Her lover is no longer the director of the Institute of Oceanology, and my lover is the current director!"
He glanced at everyone with disdain: "Show your eye on your tricks! I would like to advise you, don't pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag in the future!"
The last sentence was directed at Xu Suizhu. After speaking, he turned his head and arrogantly told the salesperson: "I want these clothes. Please help me write the invoice neatly!"
Xu Suizhu and Lin Yujuan looked at each other.
However, Xu Suizhu had no intention of buying a down jacket. Not to mention that the other party only bought one. Even if he bought all the clothes on the counter, it wouldn't matter.
Lin Yujuan felt that this woman was sick and it would be a shame to argue with her. She turned her back on her and pulled Xu Suizhu over and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the cashmere sweater counter."
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the cashmere sweater counter, the woman also came.
As if she was deliberately going against them, Lin Yujuan had just pointed at a certain cashmere sweater and asked the salesperson to take it off for a look, when Zhao Meihua opened her mouth and said: "I want this one, just issue the invoice neatly!"
After that, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Suizhu and Xu Suizhu with a showy and contemptuous look.
Phew! Her old man, Lin, still disliked his lack of work and envied the former director's daughter-in-law, who managed the island, opened a school, and was praised by the county leaders.
According to her, the leather is so good! I can’t even afford a down jacket!
It sounded nice to me - I didn't like it.
The rows of new models on the counter are so dazzling to choose from, how could you not like any of them? You must have no money to buy them!
Yes, a down jacket costs 400 to 500 yuan. After the salary of a high school teacher is increased, it is only 400 to 500 yuan. Moreover, I heard that Fjord Middle School has been losing money since it was converted into a private school, relying entirely on the island's output to support itself.
If this continues, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to pay teachers’ salaries!
If you really have money, how can you not even be able to afford new clothes for the Chinese New Year?
