Chapter 12 The fickleness of human nature

Li Zhenzhen had never thought that after Li Bingzi's nonsense, many neighbors changed their attitudes overnight, and no longer turned a blind eye or ridiculed her.

In the past, when Li Zhenzhen left home, people would always point fingers at her, and she secretly heard many words like "the capitalist's bastard" and "the unlucky star".

Now, Li Zhenzhen looked at the table, which had two cornmeal buns sent by the old Shen family next door, two eggs sent by Wang Aimin's family, and a few candies, a few biscuits, and a handful of green onions sent by others.

I felt a little funny in my heart, and a little wanted to cry.

These people in the 1960s were so cute!

The people from the street office also came to the house. It was none other than the capable Aunt Liu.

It was probably because the people from the street office leaked Li Bingwen's illness that the Li family encountered the trouble of Li Bingzi.

Aunt Liu felt guilty when she heard the rumors. Although she was not the one with the big mouth, she was a capable person. So she personally delivered Li Bingwen's salary, visited Li Bingwen, and gave Li Zhenzhen a 2 tael brown sugar ticket.

She paid for the 2 tael brown sugar ticket herself. She got it from a relative who worked in the supply and marketing cooperative. It was not easy.

Li Zhenzhen was very grateful to these people.

Although they didn't have much to give as gifts, they really saved from their own mouths. The gift was small but the sentiment was great. Li Zhenzhen went to thank them one by one.

At the old Shen's house next door, Just after sending Li Zhenzhen away, Old Lady Shen looked at Old Man Shen in confusion: "Old man, didn't you say not to associate with Li Bingwen next door? Why did you send steamed buns to his family?"

"What do you know? He is a capitalist. Who dares to associate with him? It's just that his father was kind to me. If his family hadn't given me food, I would have starved to death."

"I heard from the people in the street office that it was a small favor from the capitalists, and it was for exploitation..."

"Whatever they say is what it is. This is the world."

"I don't understand. Since you want to repay the favor, why did you watch his eldest son and eldest sister starve to death? ? "

"What nonsense are you talking about? If my nephew hadn't helped us, our family would have starved to death. Do you want me to help others and watch my family starve to death, you old woman with a crooked arm?"

"How dare you scold me, you old man! But, tell me, should I change my attitude towards Li Zhenzhen from now on? You know, when she passed by our house before, I spit at her behind her back."

"What change? Don't forget that her family is a capitalist family!"

Li Zhenzhen didn't know all this. She was happily preparing to pick up the tailor-made clothes.

Li Zhenzhen took the receipt to the tailor shop, and the two people were still in the shop. The old master sat calmly, and the apprentice Xiaoguan was very attentive, bringing her the new clothes and new mattress topper, and asked her if she wanted to try them on, and if there were any inappropriate parts, they could be altered.

Li Zhenzhen was a little flattered, as if she saw the clerk in the clothing store in her previous life again. She traveled here and met such a warm salesperson for the first time, who was even in charge of after-sales service.
