During that shopping trip, Sisi didn't buy anything for herself; instead, she went to the third floor and bought some cotton fabric, some thin and some thick. She used the thin fabric to make clothes for Du Du and the thick fabric to make herself a spring long skirt. These thick hand-woven local fabrics had distinct local characteristics and were quite beautiful.
At that time, Sisi still remembered the expression on Shen Mingzhu's face; it was one of disdain, probably thinking that she, the Deputy Secretary's Wife, was only superficially glamorous and couldn't even afford a down jacket.
Later on, Shen Mingzhu invited Sisi out several more times, but Sisi didn't accept every invitation, just one out of every three; thus, she gradually became familiar with Shen Mingzhu and gained a general understanding of her personality.
