Chapter 4 Borrowing Clothes

The young man is tall and tall, over 180cm tall. He looks young, maybe sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although he was only wearing an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, it could not hide his wide shoulders, narrow waist, and straight and slender legs.

He stood at the end of the bridge, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the old lady beside him with soft eyes.

With just one glance, Lan Shu could tell that in addition to having perfect appearance, the young man also had a kind heart that respected and loved the elderly.

Such a good-looking young man with good moral character said something she didn't like to hear!

Lan Shu frowned, took the uneaten buns and walked towards the boy, taking a few steps to stand in front of him.

"You mean I'm fat, so I shouldn't go out?"

"Also, you are so good-looking, but why do you speak so unpleasantly? Who do you call eldest sister? I am at most two or three years older than you, so I call you little sister!"

The sudden crisp questioning voice made Gu Jue slightly stunned!

Then the word 'little sister' made him couldn't help but sneer.

He looked up and saw the girl who his grandma had just called white and fat, standing in front of him with a cold face and an angry look.

Gu Jue never thought that his casual words would anger others.

Being questioned face to face at this time, he felt a little embarrassed.

But it's really wrong to speak ill of people, and he was about to apologize for his gaffe.

But the next second, he heard the fat girl say confidently and in a serious tone, "I can gain weight by my own ability, and I can lose weight by my own ability!"

Lan Shu said this, not only to refute other people's casual evaluation of herself, but also to set a goal for herself.

She needs to lose weight! No one will be able to find fault with her figure anymore!

Gu Jue on the side:?

"Eat fat... and rely on your ability?"

It was the first time he heard this novel statement.

And losing weight is not an easy thing. It requires persistence and strong endurance. He doesn't believe that the eldest sister in front of him, who can't even control his own figure, can really lose weight as she said.

"Sister, I really didn't mean to say anything about you just now..."

Lan Shu's face darkened!

Opposite me, Gu Jue understood instantly——

He couldn't help laughing, but he still called out to the fat and white eldest sister, "Little sister."

"Humph! Not sincere at all."

Lan Shu snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not continue to argue. In fact, she was not too angry with the young man in front of her, but only gave a slight warning.

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

But the next second, she heard the young man's clean and clear voice coming from behind -

"Wait a minute." Gu Jue said, bending down and taking out a long-sleeved shirt from the hand luggage bag placed at his feet, and handed it to Lan Shu.

"I'll lend you this," he said.

Lan Shu watched the young man lower his head slightly, his eyes wandering, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Lan Shu:??

Soon, the old lady on the side reminded me, "Girl, my grandson is lending you his clothes so that you can stand behind him."

Lan Shu's eyes widened when she heard this!

Her ‘aunt’ has arrived without a trace!!

Now Lan Shu immediately took the clothes from the boy's hands without hesitation, and reluctantly tied the long sleeves around her waist.

Looking up at the young man again, her eyes were no longer angry at all, but she was full of gratitude, "Thank you, I will return the clothes to you after I wash them."

After saying that, she bowed her head in embarrassment, turned around, and left in a hurry.



The sky is getting dark gradually, and the light bulbs in the street vendors and shops are turning on one after another.

Lan Shu tied a light blue shirt around her waist and walked quickly towards the supply and marketing agency not far away.

The supply and marketing cooperative got off work at around seven o'clock. If she got there late, she wouldn't be able to buy what she needed.

It has only been two years since the reform and opening up. In 1980, commercial development was still very backward. There were too few channels to buy things. In small counties, major daily necessities could only be purchased at supply and marketing cooperatives.

Therefore, the 1980s is also called by later generations as the golden age after the reform and opening up.

At this time, when self-employed people are doing business, as long as they work hard and work hard, there is basically no chance of losing money.

Lan Shu thought about starting a small business after she and Xu Yunjie divorced.

If you don’t seek to make money every day or get rich, you can at least allow yourself to live a good and high-quality life in this era.



The supply and marketing cooperative on Linfu Street is 100 square meters in size, with a long row of counters displaying tobacco, alcohol, non-staple food, fabrics, wool, a small amount of finished clothes, and daily necessities.

Lan Shu had already confirmed before coming here that there are no sanitary napkins in China yet, so women come to Auntie and rely on toilet paper.

Most of the toilet paper in this era was about one foot long and half a foot wide. It was not stored in any sealed large paper. It was divided into two grades according to its roughness and softness, which cost 40 cents per pound and 70 cents per pound.

Lan Shu bought two kilograms of toilet paper for 70 cents, and watched as the employees of the supply and marketing cooperative weighed a large pile of toilet paper with bare hands without any cleaning measures, then hastily bundled it and handed it out from the counter.

Lan Shu:……

Even if she is not mysophobic, she still feels that using paper in this way is not very clean.

At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly made a decision in her heart——

Even for herself, she wants to make sanitary napkins, a necessity for women, available as soon as possible!



When I returned to the staff dormitory building carrying a large bundle of toilet paper, it was completely dark.

Xu Yunjie hasn't come back yet, so borrowing money may be more difficult than he thought.

As soon as Lan Shu entered the house and dealt with the 'disaster' caused by her aunt, there was a soft knock on the door from the outer door.

When she opened the door, she saw it was Mrs. He!

Although Sister-in-law He had a smile on her face, Lan Shu could see that her smile was somewhat unnatural.

Just when she was wondering what happened, Lan Shu heard Sister-in-law He say apologetically.

"Sister Lan Shu, just after you left, Zhang Li from upstairs came to my house for a visit. When she saw the clothes, she asked about them. When she learned that you sold them to me, she wanted to buy them from you too.

For clothes, use the money she lent you before..."

Before Mrs. He said this, she was worried that Lan Shu would be angry, but after she said it, she saw Lan Shu smile gently.

"Of course~! I would also like to thank Sister-in-law He for helping me spread the news." Lan Shu said softly.

It doesn't matter whether Zhang Li learned about it accidentally or whether Mrs. He deliberately told Zhang Li the news.

Lan Shu has no intention of not paying back the money she owes. Whether her neighbors ask for money or use clothes to pay off their debts, she is happy to accept them.

only……

"It's too late today. Let's do this, Sister-in-law He. Tomorrow morning, any family member in our dormitory who wants to buy clothes at a low price can come to me and choose on a first-come, first-served basis until everything runs out."

Lan Shu said openly.

Sister-in-law He was stunned when she heard what Lan Shu said.

"Sister, are you planning to sell all your clothes for cheap?"

She had previously thought that Xu's wife might find it too troublesome to take away so many clothes after the divorce, so she planned to clear some.

But looking at her current posture, it seems that it is not as simple as intending to clear up a part.
