"I see. That's really good news."

Director Min also agreed: "That's right! It's better to catch him. If he escapes, we are afraid that he will be retaliated against us."

"Who says it's not?"

This is a pure surprise. I never thought there would be such a benefit. Xia Ran asked: "Are there so many prizes?"

"This is a big case. More than 20 people were arrested at once. It happened to be treated as an example by the higher authorities. This is the case with the largest number of people involved after the crackdown. They also gave me a certificate, an enamel pot, and two towels. I have been waiting for you, and finally you are here today."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know there would be a follow-up to this matter. Otherwise I would have come here a long time ago. Thank you, Director Min, for your thoughtfulness."

"You're welcome. Take these things away, and I'll be relieved. I don't have to wait here any longer. What are you going to buy today? How about I give you the internal price? I think I'm being nice, girl."

"That's very kind. Thank you."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I also benefit from you this time. I was singled out for praise." Director Min's face was full of pride when he said this.

"Director Min, you were praised not because of me, but because you were responsible enough and took this matter seriously. That's why we organized a meeting and conducted special training to improve the emergency response capabilities of our employees. It's the result of your hard work and your dedication, not because of other external factors."

This touched Director Min's heart and scratched his itch, and he instantly felt like he had found a soulmate.

I heard from a friend in the public security system that his emergency response was excellent. He was praised at the internal summary meeting.

They also spread the word about their practice so that other department stores could learn from it.

Director Min smiled even more: "No, no, it's not that great. This is my job, and I should be responsible and conscientious."

Xia Ran gave him a thumbs up: "Director Min, you are this, you are our role model."

"The most important thing is that the public security in our county has been very good recently. Petty thieves have disappeared all of a sudden. Even the number of aggressive people has decreased."

"This is a good thing."

Then Xia Ran picked out two pairs of leather shoes for herself, one pair of thick cotton shoes with fur inside made of cowhide, and one pair of single shoes made of pigskin, both of which felt good. She also bought a pair of slippers, which she almost forgot about.

I also bought several kilograms of wool to knit myself a sweater and trousers. I looked at the thick coats I wore in autumn and found that none of them were suitable for me, so I bought some more cloth.

I also bought a good quality backpack.

At the counter next door, I saw photo frames with glass in front and thick kraft paper in the back. I bought a larger one, planning to use it to hold stamps.

It was difficult to carry so many things, so Director Min gave Xia Ran two fishing net bags. She put the two thermoses in the fishing net bags, tied them tightly, and hung them on both sides of the back seat.

By the way, I helped to tie up other things. Finally, I asked for confirmation and it was not a mistake for Director Min to go with the internal price, and it was within his authority.

I happily paid and left. This is the advantage of having acquaintances. Not only can you choose things freely, but you can also buy them at a low price. This is the social world of flower growers.

After leaving the department store, I went straight into the Xinhua Bookstore opposite.

I was wondering if there are any English dictionaries or books or materials for learning Japanese? Or tapes or something like that would be fine.

The fat salesman with a student-like haircut replied, "No," without even raising his head, and then there was no more.

I don't know what's on the cashier's table that made her look down at the table so absorbedly.

Xia Ran continued to ask: "There should be some in the city, right?"

“There are some in the city.”

"Can I reserve a set?"

"I'll get it back for you. What if you don't want it? It's not cheap." He finally looked up, but glanced at Xia Ran with disdain, as if to say, can you afford it?

Xia Ran suppressed her anger and said patiently: "I can pay the deposit."

The other party rolled his eyes at her and said coldly: "We don't allow advance deposits here. You have to pay now."

"How about this, I leave the money to Director Min at the department store? When the books arrive, Director Min can come and buy them. Is that ok?"

The salesperson snorted and looked at Xia Ran with disbelief and contempt: "You know Director Min? Tsk~!"

"Wait." What the hell?

I couldn't help but think of some of the sales in luxury goods stores in later generations. When a customer came, they would first classify him or her in their minds based on the way he or she was dressed.

People who pretend to be ordinary are looked down upon and they are always considered poor and are here to get something for free.

When people stay in a place for a long time, they tend to have the illusion that they can represent that place.

I've heard people say before that the eyes of the salespersons at Xinhua Bookstore are always in the sky. Today I finally saw it for myself.

Director Min was called in, and with Director Min as a guarantor, they condescended to write a note in the notebook, saying that they would come to pick it up in a week, and it would definitely arrive.

He smiled and said, "I don't know if she is really your relative or your aunt's cousin. If I knew, there would be no need for you to come here in person. These are all trivial matters and not worth it."

Seeing Director Min coming in, the fat salesman quickly stood up and greeted him. His smile was so bright that it almost formed a chrysanthemum.

Seeing that Xia Ran really invited Director Min, her attitude immediately became enthusiastic: "Comrade Xia, you are really something. Since you are Director Min's cousin, just tell us directly. If you don't tell us, how can we know that you are relatives? This is just a misunderstanding."

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai with me? Director Min took over the conversation: "My cousin is afraid of affecting my reputation, so she never mentions me when she goes out."

Xia Ran cooperated without any emotion and nodded.

Xia Ran left 50 yuan for Director Min, thanked her and left. This was mainly because she was not in the right and really needed her help to adjust the goods, otherwise she would have to argue with her.

I remembered the story of the "Three Seasons Man" told by an old man, and I was relieved instantly. Different perceptions will lead to different expressions, which is normal.

We should try to learn to accept all kinds of people. Allow them to be themselves, and allow ourselves to be ourselves. We went directly to the vegetable market. Xia Ran likes to stock up on food. She wants to stock up when she sees it.

I bought a bunch of fruits and meat again, and this time I bought more mutton. When it rains one day, I will make some mutton soup steamed buns to eat. Soaked steamed buns are very suitable for rainy days.

Last time it rained, she suddenly missed mutton soup with steamed buns and wanted to eat it.

The watermelons are almost sold out. The ones on sale now are the late-ripening black-skinned watermelons, which taste great, but the skin is very thick, twice as thick as the thin-skinned ones. Xia Ran bought them all.
