Gu Jun wanted to help Yun Suisui, but she glared at him and he dodged.

He could only follow behind obediently, his expression both helpless and with a hint of triumph in his smile.

The two of them entered the supply and marketing cooperative. Although the clothes there were not as fashionable and novel as those in the Friendship Store, the quality was impeccable and there was no trace of cutting corners.

Yun Suisui picked out a Dacron top with a white background and light purple flowers, two basic cotton shirts, one blue and one white, and a pair of trousers with a three-foot waist.

The pants are too big for her now, so she asked a tailor to help her tighten the waist and hems. When her belly gets bigger, she can remove the stitches and wear them again.

There are also loose cotton and linen skirts and cotton gauze pajamas bought in the previous life in the space. The clothes can hold two of her in place, so there is no need to worry about having nothing to wear in the late pregnancy.

Seeing that she bought a lot, the salesperson smiled and tried to sell her the fake collars on the counter. Yun Sui Sui thought it was troublesome and also declined with a smile.

The salesperson was not angry and turned around to sell leather shoes again.

Regardless of whether the things they sell are good-looking or not, their attitude alone is better than that of the salespersons at the Friendship Store. They don't have that condescending attitude.

Of course, it could also be because Gu Jun beside him looked difficult to deal with.

Yun Suisui looked at the shoes on the counter and fell in love with a pair of red leather shoes with thick heels. They looked a bit like the retro Mary Jane style of later generations and looked quite eye-catching.

She only lingered on the shoes for a few seconds before Gu Jun picked them up and asked, "Do you have the right size?"

The salesperson took a look at Yun Suisui's feet and said with a smile, "We only have a few pairs of these shoes. Let your wife try them both and see which one is a better fit."

As he said that, he took out another pair of bigger ones.

Without thinking, Gu Jun asked Yun Suisui to sit on the bench and half-knelt to put on her shoes.

Yun Suisui was slightly stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Jun said nonchalantly, "I can even wash your feet, so why can't I wear shoes for you?"

As he said that, he put the shoes on her and said, "Try them on and see if they fit."

The salesperson beside him said quickly, "Don't step on the ground. It will be harder to sell shoes if the soles are dirty. I'll get you some toilet paper. Wait a moment!"

Seeing that she was about to go outside, Gu Jun said, "No need, try stepping on me."

He patted his tight thighs.

Yun Suisui's throat tightened, and she felt inexplicably ashamed when she thought of some niche hobbies in later generations.

"No, it's not good."

After all, he is a grown man, and he is wearing a military uniform... The more I look at him, the more wrong it seems.

"What are you afraid of?"

Gu Jun had no idea what she was thinking and simply placed her foot on his leg. "Try to squeeze it a little harder and see if it squeezes your foot."

Yun Suisui didn't dare to look at him at all, let alone look at their current position. She could only lower her head and step on it a little harder. "It's not crowded, it fits well."

Gu Jun nodded, "Okay, then this pair."

After helping her change her shoes, he went to the salesperson to pay.

His clothes, pants and shoes together cost him 120 yuan, with shoes accounting for more than half of the cost.

The woman who was waiting in line to buy cotton cloth for her daughter heard the price of the shoes and exclaimed, "Why are the shoes so expensive? I can make a pair of shoes by sewing the soles myself or buying some cloth for only a few dollars. Those young wives nowadays are good-looking, but they just don't know how to live!"

The salesperson rolled her eyes. "Auntie Chen, what you said is wrong. A gay man is willing to buy things for a lesbian, which shows that the couple loves each other. Times have changed now. How can we use old eyes to look at the new society? Your family can't find a wife in Siping, but you can't dislike all young couples, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's not like Siping in our family can't find a wife! My son has serious things to do. He wants to build a career first and then start a family. When he passes the exam to get into the grain and oil station, what kind of woman can he find?"

The old lady looked at Yun Suisui and curled her lips. "You didn't listen to the old man's advice, and now you're going to suffer the consequences! This pair of shoes is enough to feed the family for a month. Isn't this a waste of money? You're almost a mother, and you're still conceited all day long. How can you raise a good child in the future? If my son finds such a troublemaker, I won't let her enter the house no matter what!"

Yun Suisui was so angry that she almost laughed. She didn't bother to care. Did this old lady really think she had no temper?

She stood up and said with a smile, "Auntie, you're worrying too early!"

"With your good-for-nothing son who's in his thirties and can't find a wife or a job, there's absolutely no way he could marry a beautiful, young, good-natured, and capable girl like me."

"At least be realistic when you dream, otherwise I'm afraid your ancestral grave won't be able to bear it."

With a mother like this, his son would be very lucky to find a wife. How could he want to find someone like her? Isn’t he afraid that his grave would burn down?

In the middle of the night, others would think that their ancestors were barbecuing skewers underground.

How could the old lady not hear that she was mocking herself?

She howled, "You money-loser, how dare you talk to me? I'm trying to persuade you, but you're cursing my son for not being able to find a wife. I'll tear your mouth apart!"

She rushed forward, Yun Suisui's needle was ready.

Gu Jun stood in front of her, narrowed his eyes, and the old lady didn't dare to move forward at all.

She gritted her teeth, sat on the ground and started crying, "They're bullying me! The Japanese army is bullying me! Everyone, come and see!"

There were already a lot of people around here, and when they saw the excitement here, they all gathered over.

The supply and marketing cooperative was not very big to begin with, and with so many people gathered there, it seriously affected normal business operations. Even the director of the supply and marketing cooperative came over to check the situation.

But Mrs. Chen was a well-known shrew in town, and the director couldn't do anything about her. He looked at Yun Suisui and Gu Jun awkwardly and said, "Comrades, why don't you apologize and compensate her with some food? If you keep making such a fuss, everyone's business will be delayed."

Yun Suisui raised an eyebrow. "It's not us who are delaying things. Whoever is delaying things should deal with it. We just finished shopping and are leaving."

She directly pulled Gu Jun up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen crawled over using her hands and feet, trying to hug her legs.

Gu Jun was afraid that she would get hurt, so he protected her behind him, but he himself was entangled by the other party.

Mrs. Chen was old and didn't care about the distinction between men and women. She hugged his legs and howled, "What's so great about being a soldier? You want to leave after scolding people. Is there any justice in the world? Just walk!"

Gu Jun's brows were twisted into a knot.

Yun Suisui knew that although he didn't have mysophobia, he didn't like physical contact with strangers, and he must be feeling uncomfortable at the moment.

She tightened the needle in her hand. She had already determined the acupuncture point. One injection would definitely make the annoying old lady let go.

But before he got close, he heard a voice calling out from the crowd: "Mom, didn't you buy cloth? What are you doing?"

A girl in her twenties ran over and tried to pull her mother up from the ground.

But Mrs. Chen was like she was covered with 502 glue, and she couldn't tear it off even if she stuck it to Gu Jun's legs.

The girl looked over awkwardly, and when her eyes met Yun Sui Sui, she was immediately surprised, "Yun, Doctor Yun?"
