She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 145 Sending Clothes

The next day, Jiang Shi'an came over early in the morning.

The two agreed to go to the county town together.

I went to the post office first and called Brother Hei.

I repeated the specific address and contact information again.

These are pieces of information that others helped me find out, but they are too trivial to remember, so I'm repeating them here.

Then, there are some things that are needed.

She tried not to say much, as they were all necessities.

“Tell Brother Hei that if you can buy it, then buy it; if you really can’t, it’s not a big deal.”

When asking for help, you can't ask for too much; you can only do it when it's convenient for them.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi'an gave the instructions thoroughly and said he would send money and tickets over.

You can get it done directly at the post office.

"Shuyin, those things don't cost that much."

"You gave too much, including tickets. Did you miscalculate?"

"No, Brother Hei is so busy, and he still had to help me. The rest is all for him."

"And you also need to bribe officials; all of that costs money."

She made it very clear, and she mentioned these things yesterday as well.

"You don't need that much, take some back with you."

"No, don't worry about it."

Ji Shuyin was adamant. Hei Ge was Jiang Shi'an's friend, and she was helping him out of respect for him.

I can't be stingy and make others lose face too.

After they finished, the two left the post office; she was going to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Jiang Shi'an had nothing else to do today, so he went along.

Now, it's quite cold, and the clothing counters are all selling thick clothes.

She took a fancy to a black, collared, cardigan that looked somewhat like a modified Zhongshan suit.

"Shuyin, this is the men's clothing area. The women's clothing is over there?"

Seeing that she had stopped walking, Jiang Shi'an kindly reminded her.

"I was looking at men's clothing, comrade, could you take that piece of clothing down so I can take a look?"

The two were well-dressed and good-looking, so the sales clerk didn't give them a hard time.

"This shirt is fifteen yuan, no bargaining. We can talk about other things if you can accept that price."

As he spoke, he handed her the clothes.

It feels really nice to the touch, and the design is very nice.

"Shuyin, if you send it out, you'll probably have to buy winter clothes."

The weather over there is different, it's not the same season as here!

"This isn't for my dad or the others; it's for you."

As she spoke, she began to gesture at him.

Jiang Shi'an was a little taken aback and subconsciously asked a question in return.

"Give me?"

Yes, it's for you.

I've been wanting to thank him for his help, and since the weather's getting cold, I thought I'd buy him some clothes that he might need.

In this day and age, practicality is more important than anything else.

"Comrade, may I try it?"

He didn't even lift his eyelids, just casually said something.

"Okay, but be careful not to break it."

"it is good."

The next second, Jiang Shi'an also realized what was happening.

This is to thank him; Ji Shuyin is subconsciously still not accepting him.

"Shuyin, there's really no need for that. I'm helping you willingly."

She knew the other party would definitely refuse, so she prepared her answer in advance.

I'm happy to buy you things.

It's getting cold, buying a coat is normal. Don't dawdle, they're busy.

After saying that, she immediately started trying it on for him.

Jiang Shi'an looked even better in it, tall and handsome. "Wow, so handsome! Clothes really do make the man."

"Comrade, I'll take this one."

"Okay, go pay the fee."

The man wrote her a note and told her to go to the counter to pay.

Ji Shuyin was always very proactive, but she was afraid that Jiang Shi'an would rush to give her money, which would be a mess.

After buying the clothes, I went to the women's clothing counter.

Women have a much wider variety of clothing than men, and the colors are not limited to black, white, and gray.

Although there aren't many, there are always a few that stand out.

"What do you think of this velvet coat? I'd like to buy one for Huang Chunjing and the others too."

Comrade, could you please take this down for me and let me see it?

"Row."

"It's quite thick; I reckon you can wear it outside even in winter."

"Yes, I think so too."

She tried it on herself, and since the other women were all about the same size, they should be able to wear it.

I bought four items, all in the same color, dark blue.

It's understated and doesn't show dirt easily.

It's a rural area after all, so there's a lot of dirt around, and washing clothes in winter isn't very convenient.

The two bought some other things, mostly food.

Even if she can't finish eating it all, she'll buy some whenever she comes over, just to store it away.

"There are so many ribs, and we also have some green beans at home. Let's invite everyone over for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I'll go and inform them."

Ji Shuyin quickly instructed that Liu Qingyu should also be invited.

"So, you bought her that dress too?"

"Yes, I want her to help me out. I'm just doing her a favor in advance."

Jiang Shi'an, I didn't mean anything by it.

Blackie doesn't go there often, and her parents live there, so it would be much more convenient if he could help.

He could naturally understand that.

"Shuyin, you don't need to explain these things to me, I understand everything."

I have no objection or dissatisfaction what you've done according to your plan.

It's a sensitive matter to begin with, so if there's a lot of support, the situation will naturally improve a lot.

It's only right that she puts in so much effort for this; after all, she's the daughter of the Ji family!
"Yes, thank you for understanding me."

That evening, everyone gathered together.

Having meat to eat is a big deal.

Liu Qingyu hadn't expected to be invited; their small group usually didn't invite other people.

Zhou Chaoyang also arrived at the same time.

He had already returned from the town's clinic. Ji Shuyin hadn't gone to see him specifically, so today was another way of expressing her gratitude.

Everyone was there, and we busied ourselves and chatted together in a great atmosphere.

Several boys were gathering firewood outside, while the girls were busy in the kitchen.

We need to prepare a few more dishes, otherwise there won't be enough to eat.

These people didn't come empty-handed; they all brought some food that they considered to be of good quality.

"I also bought some soda today, so we'll each have one later."

Ji Shuyin was very happy and talked to everyone, and Huang Chunjing also jumped for joy.

"Oh, that's great! I haven't had soda in ages."

The last time I drank it was during Chinese New Year!

Girls chatter away; they never lack topics to talk about when they're together.

"By the way, I heard that Tang Weiyu ran home crying today. Did you guys hear about it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Liu Qingyu.

"I don't know, what happened? Tell us quickly."

At this point, Liu Qingyu no longer kept it a secret.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but at that time, we were all outside sunbathing."

The person came running back, crying and covered in filth.
