Fang Chuchu shook her head vigorously, indicating that she could not.
Nuonuo had no choice but to obediently comply, softly refusing, "Uncle, you can't~ Nuonuo wants to go now~"
Fang Hui was extremely conflicted; all he wanted to do was go back to his room and sleep.
But Nuonuo was being affectionate with him!
Who could refuse a request from an adorable little dumpling? At least he couldn't.
Moreover, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were already standing nearby with feather dusters, ready to pounce.
Fang Hui felt that if he still refused Nuonuo, he would get beaten up in the next second.
He reluctantly picked up Nuonuo and affectionately rubbed her little face.
"Alright, then Uncle will accompany Nuonuo to the department store. Is Nuonuo happy?"
Nuonuo cheered, "Happy!"
The other woman, beaming with joy, announced: "Auntie, Uncle has agreed!"
Fang Chuchu excitedly gave Nuonuo a thumbs up: "Nuonuo is great! What do you want to eat later? Auntie will buy it for you!"
"You're going to buy it for Nuonuo? Do you even have the money?"
Fang Hui truly regretted letting Fang Chuchu get involved in this project. He had only wanted her to gain some credit so she wouldn't have to stay in the warehouse all the time.
Now, I don't even have time to take a nap at noon anymore.
Fang Chuchu retorted indignantly, "How come I don't have any money?! Look, isn't this money?"
Fang Hui didn't even look at her: "Your money wasn't given to you by me and A-Huai, it wasn't earned by yourself, so what's there to be proud of?"
"snort!"
Fang Chuchu was speechless after Fang Hui's retort, since what he said was true.
......
Fang Hui and his group originally thought that there wouldn't be many people in the department store at this time.
When they arrived, the place was already packed with people.
The area selling cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar was especially crowded. Fang Hui even saw many family members of government officials.
"Director Fang, what a coincidence! Are you also here to buy oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar?"
Fang Hui looked at the person squatting next to him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize him.
Unperturbed, Fang Hui calmly replied, "Yes, what a coincidence."
"I didn't expect you to come and buy something, Director Fang. I thought my wife was lying to me."
Fang Hui asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"
The man rubbed his lower back and sighed, "It's all because my wife said that all the cadres in the city eat this, all to support the countryside."
“We should also follow the example of our leaders. It is said that the director of the Public Security Bureau and several factory directors have already bought [something].
Upon hearing this, Fang Hui raised an eyebrow. Buy?
It probably wasn't bought; it was likely a gift from someone at the department store.
He had seen an article about the department store in the newspaper that morning, but he hadn't paid it any mind.
Fang Hui guessed that the department store probably gave one set to each of the nearby leaders.
As for why he didn't, it's unlikely that anyone would be so foolish as to openly offer gifts to the Revolutionary Committee.
Because there were too many people, Fang Hui didn't want to join in the fun, so he decided to go explore other places first.
It just so happens that their whole family has never been to the department store together before.
Fang Chuchu had never actually shopped at a department store before.
She had previously dreamed that after working at the department store, she could shop there every day.
In fact, after get off work, she didn't want to stay at the department store at all. She didn't even want to come back during her breaks.
This saved her a lot of money. Otherwise, given her spending habits, she would have been broke long ago.
After she found a job, Grandpa Fang forbade anyone else from giving her money.
Even Fang Huai, who was still in the army, wrote a letter to say so.
Now, besides her salary, Fang Chuchu only has the little money she had saved up.
Fang Chuchu remembered the clothes she had previously liked; the outfit was particularly cute and she thought it would suit Nuonuo perfectly.
However, she didn't buy it because she didn't have much money left.
She took Grandma Fang's arm and asked, "Mom, I saw an outfit earlier that would really suit Nuonuo, shall we go take a look?"
“Sure, Nuonuo has grown a bit taller recently, and I was just thinking of making her a couple of outfits.”
Nuonuo's father was in the army, where he mostly wore uniforms, and the cloth ration coupons he received each month were sent back home.
The family had enough cloth coupons, so Nuonuo's clothes didn't have any patches.
Clothes that I can no longer wear are not given away or dismantled; they are all carefully preserved.
After buying clothes and snacks for Nuonuo, when I came back to the first floor, there weren't as many people.
Grandpa Fang looked around curiously; he still didn't know what was being sold here that made it so popular.
Seeing so many people just now, Fang Chuchu excitedly asked, "Are there many people buying?"
"I saw a lot of people just now, were they all coming over to get something?"
The sales clerk behind the counter only answered after seeing that it was Fang Chuchu: "A lot of people buy it!"
"We were planning to take a nap at noon, but suddenly a lot of people came to buy things."
"We've already had the warehouse deliver a batch of goods."
"Sister Chuchu, are you here to buy something too?"
Fang Chuchu was overjoyed. With so many people coming to buy, they definitely wouldn't get scolded!
"Yes, I brought my parents here to buy a set."
Grandma Fang asked curiously, "What is this? Is it a cup? It's quite pretty."
"It's not a cup, it's oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar."
Grandma Fang was stunned, and repeated: "Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar???"
"You mean these are oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar?"
Fang Chuchu nodded: "Yes, Mom, look, isn't it beautiful?"
It looks nice, but Grandma Fang always felt it was a bit flashy and impractical. No wonder Fang Chuchu urged them to come and support her.
"nice..."
Grandma Fang looked at the price, and the price looked even better...
Such a small bottle of soy sauce costs 50 cents. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would have said it sounded like a capitalist.
However, Fang's sister-in-law controlled the family finances, and Grandma Fang didn't care whether it was expensive or not.
If Sister-in-law Fang is willing to buy it, then she will buy it; if she is not willing to buy it, she definitely won't.
Although the family has some money, it's not at the point where they can squander it. In Grandma Fang's opinion, spending this money isn't worthwhile.
Sister-in-law Fang also felt it wasn't worth it, but in order to support Fang Chuchu's work, she still spent the money to buy a set, even though it hurt her wallet.
Then Sister-in-law Fang hugged Nuonuo to her arms and said to Fang Hui, "Take the things to your workplace and bring them home after get off work this afternoon."
Fang Hui: ? ? ?
Fang Hui asked, completely bewildered, "Why not just take it home? Taking it to the office and then home is just pointless."
"Tsk, just take it when I tell you to, why are you complaining so much?"
"Can't I even do something for you now?"
