Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 228 Shopping

The man noticed that everyone around him was looking at him and felt extremely embarrassed. He didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful and run away without saying a word.

But I was also glad in my heart that at least I could save dozens of dollars.

He didn't take the words of canceling the marriage to heart at all. Both families had already agreed on the wedding date. It was good enough that he was willing to give her face and take her to see the watch.

Even if he doesn't buy her house now, can he still cancel the engagement? Who would dare to marry a woman whose engagement has been broken off?

At that time, he will have to make trouble and ask the elders of the girl's family to apologize, otherwise he will not agree to marry her. It is her family that should be anxious about this matter.

A sewing machine as a dowry is nothing. After making him lose face today, he should also give a bicycle as a dowry.

"Hmph, if you want to go, then go. There's a day when you'll come back and beg me. I won't buy the watch anymore. I'm going to look at bicycles. I wouldn't want to marry her if she doesn't bring a bicycle as a dowry. I'll go check it out in advance and let her family pick up the bicycle themselves."

I don't know if he was really mentally ill or just afraid of losing face, but the man looked up at the woman and strode towards the bicycle counter.

Several people present were rolling their eyes. If you can't afford it or don't want to buy it, don't make a promise. You've already brought the girl to see it, but you still keep saying things that spoil the fun.

If you don’t know how to speak, don’t say anything. What do you mean by the cheapest watch is suitable for a girl?

It was good enough that the girl didn't slap him directly in the face, but now she has the nerve to make amends here.

The girl gave a sewing machine as a dowry, but you wanted to buy her the cheapest watch. Now you want her to give a bicycle as a dowry. How shameless of you!

Feng Songxue and his colleague watched the whole thing from beginning to end and could only say they were stunned. How could there be such a shameless person?

They also heard the conversation between the two men just now. The woman was willing to not ask for a dowry, and just wanted to buy a decent watch. As a result, the first thing the man said was that the cheapest one was.

The girl did not get angry at first, but kindly told him to look around and choose the one that was most cost-effective. She was considered to have a good temper.

I didn't expect this man to be so shameless that he even wanted to test whether the woman's 68 yuan could be paid in half by both families.

At that time, Feng Songxue was so shocked that he was stunned. He looked at him in disbelief with his mouth open. How could this 37-degree mouth say such shameless words?

"What is this? It's too shameless. You girls shouldn't look for a partner like this." Luan Huiying was speechless. Their older generation was not so stingy.

If you can't even afford to buy one before getting married, why would you consider it for the future? Don't even think about it.

"Aunt, you don't know, we salespeople often see this kind of people. I've even seen men who, before they're even married, want their wives to sell their watches so they can buy them a new one, saying it's useless for women to wear.

He also said his future father-in-law had a nice watch and asked the girl if she could lend it to him. He thought it was going to be passed down to his son anyway, so why couldn't his daughter have it? So he urged the girl to go home and ask for her parents' things. The silly girl actually believed him, thinking her father was partial to her brother, and she immediately went home to ask for it.

The world is so big, there are all kinds of people, especially since they work in a department store, they meet all kinds of people. They have endless gossip to tell when they get home every day, but now their family members don’t like to listen to it.

"Never mind him. It's right to see the truth about this kind of girl as soon as possible. It's better than seeing her true face after she gets married. Breaking off the engagement is better than getting a divorce.

Please pick out a nice one for my little Xue to try. Or try this one with a leather strap. It won’t be so cold in winter.”

Jiang Mengxue couldn't resist and finally bought a Shanghai brand watch, which was indeed much more comfortable to wear.

A watch ticket adds 120 yuan. Domestic Shanghai brand watches are now the trend among young people.

Just like seeing someone riding a cool 28-inch bicycle on the road, in the eyes of others, this is a standard feature of rich people.

In the eyes of today's young people, if you have a bicycle or a watch, it will be easier to find a partner than others.

As long as a girl hears that the boy's family has one of these conditions, the marriage is already halfway to success.

"Okay, after we finish shopping we'll go downstairs and go shopping. You can get busy."

Although there are not many people buying, there are quite a few people coming to see, but few people dare to come forward and ask.

If the staff has a good temper, they will reply to you, but if they have a bad temper, they will just scold you away.

But if you bring money and tickets, the salesperson's attitude will be much better, but don't expect their attitude to be very good.

After all, they are all stable jobs. Whether the goods are sold or not does not affect their salary. The staff can relax even if no one comes to buy.

The second floor sells ready-made fabric garments. There's nothing fancy about them, and the styles are all similar. The most special thing might be the lambskin military coats hanging on the wall, which can hang on the wall for months. It's not that no one likes them, but that most people can't afford them.

"I brought you two more army green coats. They're new this year and very warm. But that black one looks great too. Let's go check it out. That red sweater is also nice. It's loose and doesn't restrict your neck."

"Mom, why did you bring it to me again? You kept it for yourself. I haven't worn the one you sent me last time."

"I have enough clothes. You young people should wear more new clothes. When you get older, you won't have the time to dress up."

"Comrade, take off that red sweater and black lambskin coat and show them to me."

"Comrade, take down the black coat from the wall and show it to me."

When Luan Huiying spoke, a middle-aged woman next to her also asked to see the black coat.

People on both sides were a little surprised and turned to look at each other.

Luan Huiying felt that this person looked familiar, but then she thought that she didn't know anyone here, so she thought she must have seen it wrong and didn't take it seriously.

The middle-aged woman frowned when she saw Luan Huiying's face. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

The middle-aged man next to her stood behind the woman and gently put his hand on her shoulder.

"Like it? If you like it, buy it."

Jiang Mengxue pulled Luan Huiying to stand aside. Now, no matter what the relationship is, they have to keep a distance when they are outside. It is very unlikely that they are a couple if they are obviously showing intimate actions like this.

The staff member was sitting at the counter, picking his fingers idly. When he heard someone talking, he lazily raised his eyelids and glanced up and down at the clothes of the two parties.

Luan Huiying was wearing a coat over her military uniform. Although officers did not have epaulettes, even the most clueless person could tell that her identity was not simple. This kind of military coat issued by the troops was not something that anyone could wear. It was standard equipment for officers.

Even if the person wearing the clothes is not an officer, then it must be a family member or someone he knows.
