At the department store.
"There are many people in the mall. Hold me."
Miao Zhen curled her fingers in a dilemma.
She slowly pulled Xu Weidong's sleeve.
"Two catties of milk candy and two catties of southern pastries. Two catties of peanuts."
"Milk candies are 30 cents per catty, pastries are 40 cents per catty, peanuts are 30 cents per catty…a total of 2 RMB.”
After buying the food, Xu Weidong took Miao Zhen to buy clothes.
"Why don't we stop buying clothes? You've already spent two yuan just now.”
The little nun muttered softly.
Xu Weidong smiled." Your man has money. Buy it!"”
" I…" The little nun's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt.
Xu Weidong teased her.”
"No…I…"
"Alright, after buying the clothes, we still have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Tsk tsk, teasing people, how fun!
To go to the clothing store, they had to pass by the cloth store.
At this moment, a good show was going on in the cloth shop.
Qin Huairu giggled as she spoke.
"Comrade, this piece of cloth is flawed. It just so happens that I'm a little short of a cloth ticket.”
"Where are the flaws?"
The salesperson looked at the place Qin Huiru was pointing at.
"It's just a small spot. I'll just wipe it off," she said unhappily.”
"You definitely can't sell this flaw of yours. It's your luck that we're willing to buy it!”Jia Zhangshi was pestering him.
Qin Huairu knew that she was going to ruin things the moment he said that.
His mother-in-law loved to take advantage of others and was also self-righteous. She always used the same arrogant attitude from her hometown in the city.
"If you don't have tickets, don't pretend to be rich. You can leave. I'm not selling you today!”
At this time, salespeople were very popular. They were completely incomparable to the service industry in the future.
" How can you talk to an old man like that..." Jia Zhangshi stepped forward and pulled him back.
Qin Huairu and the other salespeople hurriedly came over to stop the fight.
Xu Weidong looked at the scene playfully.
" Isn't this…" Miao Zhen said.
"You two crazy women, let's go buy clothes.”
"Hey, Xu Weidong, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you come to help me when you saw me? We're from the same courtyard.”
Jia Zhangshi saw Xu Weidong from the corner of her eye and called out naturally.
Xu Weidong didn't want to respond, but he saw the salesperson's expression change.
He rolled his eyes and said,
"Everyone, don't misunderstand. This granny is very famous in our courtyard, but we're not familiar with her.”
Miao Zhen couldn't help but glance at him.
The first half of the sentence said that Jia Zhangshi was "famous", but how could an old woman be famous? Naturally, he thought of throwing a tantrum.
The latter part of the sentence,"I'm not familiar with you," just so happened to clarify the relationship.
Qin Huiru was about to speak when Xu Weidong interrupted her.
"We're in a hurry to buy clothes.”
Xu Weidong dragged Miao Zhen to the clothing store.
However, Jia Zhangshi was in high spirits and followed them to the clothing store.
Xu Weidong ignored the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family.
"Hello, help my fiancée pick out two sets of clothes!”
The salesperson couldn't help but glance at them!
This was a big customer. In a famine year, it would be good enough to buy a new set of clothes every year even in Four Nine City.
The salesperson was delighted and was about to introduce him.
Jia Zhangshi interjected,"Two sets? Do you have tickets?" Do you have money? Why are you pretending to be rich?"
This old fool was now using what she had learned to mock Xu Weidong.
The salesperson paused, and Xu Weidong said calmly,
"Please hurry up. I still have to register my marriage later.”
The salesperson thought that she must have saved up some money since she was waiting to get married.
Upon seeing this scene, Qin Huairu was shocked.
How could he bear to buy two sets of clothes for the little nun?
Could it be that he's deliberately trying to anger me? Yes, he must be trying to anger me.
Fortunately, Xu Weidong didn't have the ability to read minds. Otherwise, Qin Huiru would be so narcissistic that she would vomit again.
"Look, these two shirts look good!
Light purple squares, white polka dots.
They were all new arrivals, and there were only ten pieces in stock.
And these two pairs of pants, made of the best material.
It's durable and good-looking. It's just right for your fiancée.”
"Do you like it?" Xu Weidong asked Miao Zhen.
"Miao Zhen was just about to say that buying one would be enough.
She was also afraid that he would say," I'm your man, so you have to listen to me."
There was no shame in public.
She said generously,"It's good. I'll take these two."”
"Alright, this lady has good taste. I'll wrap it up for you.”
"Comrade, do you have a place to change? We want to wear it directly to get our marriage certificate."
"Yes, yes, yes. There's a lounge around the corner. I'll take you there after you pay. It's a total of 11.5 yuan and 10 feet of cloth.”
Hearing the price, the people around were shocked.
"What, 11.5?" Jia Zhangshi shouted loudly.
Qin Huairu felt sour in her heart. How nice it was to buy this for herself.
It was no wonder that everyone was surprised. One had to know that five yuan was enough for two adults to eat for a month.
Xu Weidong's clothes cost two months of an ordinary family's expenses.
Seeing that he really took out the tickets and money, Jia Zhangshi's eyes widened.
This kid was actually so rich and willing to spend money.
Qin Huairu felt regret for the first time.
That's right, Xu Weidong was an apprentice in the factory three years ago.
An apprentice's first year salary was 18, second year 20, and third year 22.
After three years of apprenticeship, he would only receive 27.5 in the fourth year.
However, Father Xu was a hero in the factory, so Xu Weidong got 27.5 yuan when he entered the factory.
After he had been an apprentice for a year, he was allowed to participate in the first-grade locksmith examination and passed it in one go.
It was even more exaggerated after that. He took the exam once every six months, and within two years, he was promoted to a fourth-grade fitter. His salary rose to 56.87 yuan.
One had to know that ordinary people might not even pass the first grade for several years.
Jia Dongxu spent three years to get from Level Three to Level Four, and he also got 56.87.
However, Xu Weidong ate very well, and white steamed buns were a common occurrence.
Qin Huairu had consoled herself earlier that a bachelor like him would definitely not be able to save up.
Who knew that not only was he rich, but he was also willing to spend money on women. He actually spent 11.5 yuan on clothes for a little nun!
Was she fairer than him? Was her figure as good as his?
At the thought of this, Qin Huairu involuntarily puffed out her chest.
Xu Weidong didn't even spare a glance at her and took Miao Zhen to try on the clothes.
However, it was discovered by the sharp-eyed Jia Zhangshi.
They were both women. How could she not guess Qin Huairu's thoughts? She glared at her fiercely.
Qin Huairu was shocked and woke up from her reverie.
Jia Zhangshi wanted to pester Xu Weidong to see if she could take advantage of him.
But she couldn't care less now. She had to deal with her dissolute daughter-in-law first.
She took a step forward and secretly pinched the tender flesh on Qin Huairu's inner arm, twisting it fiercely.""What are you thinking about?"
" Mom…" Qin Huairu was in so much pain that tears were about to fall.
She was feeling guilty and did not dare to say anything else.
He was afraid that his mother-in-law would pester him in public. If that happened, his reputation would be ruined.
Just like that, Jia Zhangshi grabbed Qin Huairu and walked out.
In the eyes of others, it was like Qin Huairu suddenly feeling unwell and being supported by her mother-in-law.
She was really a mute who couldn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Xu Weidong was taking the little nun to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
