Chapter 35 - 035. Young couple shopping (Collected 600+)
The eldest brother from the Liu family meant well, thinking of giving his brother and Sister Shuzhen more opportunities to interact, to increase their understanding and feelings for each other. Lian Hai not only supported this with both hands but also thoughtfully pulled his brother into a corner and stuffed twenty yuan and ten jin of food coupons into his hands. After all, if you’re accompanying your future wife shopping, it’s not right to let the woman spend all the money, right?
Besides, there are many things needed for a wedding, and the styles in the provincial city are far more than those in the village or town, and the prices are cheaper too!
Even though you can’t buy anything without coupons even if you have money, it’s better to be prepared.
The foolish younger brother’s future wife talk made Lianshan blush, but he ultimately didn’t refuse his brother’s good intentions. He only said that he considered it a loan, and he would return it the next day; he can’t be buying things for his wife with his brother’s money. Wasn’t his mouth blocked using his own words, alive and well by his brother? Lian Hai shook his head and laughed; indeed, when a man reaches the age of marriage! With good news in sight, even the eldest brother has become much more cheerful.
After feeling the adorable price of the era with a ten-cent meat bun, Shuzhen, with more than three hundred yuan in her pocket, felt like a tycoon, charging into the XX Province Supply and Marketing Mall with her brother Lianshan, with a shopping spree mindset.
The homespun clothes on her were too plain; she had to buy two more sets of brighter ones. After all, for a wedding, shouldn’t one wear red clothes for some joy?
Radios were only a little over thirty yuan each. Bringing one back to listen to anytime to stay informed about national affairs!
Phoenix brand bicycles were 155 yuan each. Having one would certainly make life more convenient, and people would no longer laugh at her and her brother Lianshan’s marriage but envy it instead.
A Swallow brand sewing machine was only 137. Buying it would not only make sewing and such easier, but she might even earn some pocket money with it. After all, in her past life, she was famously skilled in making clothes, embroidery, and the like. With many future classic popular styles in mind, unlike those heroines in rebirth novels selling design styles or even opening clothing factories to rake in money and all that’s nonsense. Helping out the folks in town and earning a little hard-earned money is not out of the question.
These purchases would add dignity to the wedding and greatly facilitate her life, possibly even earn a little profit. Though buying them would leave her a bit short-handed, Shuzhen decided to accept it. After all, with special abilities in her hand, she wouldn’t starve her and her husband, would she?
Just as she was mentally prepared and excitedly expressed her desire to buy to the sales clerk, she was met with a massive roll of the eyes: No coupons, why are you asking nonsense without coupons?
Shuzhen was lost for words. Could she say she was used to the tune of everything being worry-free with money in hand, and hadn’t fully adapted back to the era where even a box of matches required coupons?
