At that time, the "three turns and one sound" referred to bicycles, watches, and sewing machines, while the "one sound" referred to radios.
Lin Qingyan already has a watch; all she needs to do is buy a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a radio.
After Lin Sisi and Gu's mother came in, Lin Sisi's gaze was fixed on Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting. She wanted to see what Lu Zhengting could buy for Lin Qingyan.
She saw the three people walk towards several brand-new bicycles, and her heart sank. It was Lu Zhengting buying bicycles for Lin Qingyan.
She then realized that Gu Mingzhou hadn't bought her any of the four essential items for a city wedding.
Now that Gu's mother is here, can I ask her to buy it for me?
She has always been superior to Lin Qingyan in every aspect, and she can't be inferior to Lin Qingyan when it comes to buying big wedding items.
She tugged at her mother's sleeve, "Mom, let's go over there and look at the bicycles too."
Mrs. Gu frowned immediately. "Looking at bicycles?" Did Lin Sisi want to buy a bicycle? Anyway, she didn't have any money or coupons. Gu Mingzhou would give her his monthly allowance regularly. If Lin Sisi wanted to buy one, she could use her own money and coupons.
Lin Sisi had previously told her that Fang Huilan had found a very capable man. After Lin Guanghui's death, Fang Huilan now only had her as her daughter, and he might give her a lot of money to spend.
The tickets that Lu's mother gave Lu Zhengting were valid nationwide. The bicycles here included Phoenix and Flying Pigeon brands, both old-fashioned and women's models. Lu Zhengting pointed to the Flying Pigeon women's model and asked, "Honey, how's the quality?"
Compared to the old-fashioned bicycle, that one was small and lightweight, making it very suitable for women to ride.
But her family isn't just hers. Buying a 28-inch bicycle would allow them to carry more things. If the three of them were to travel together, they could all ride on one bicycle. If they bought a women's bicycle, it wouldn't have as many features.
So she chose the old-fashioned bicycle next to her, the Flying Pigeon brand.
"Honey, are you sure you want this one?" He thought his wife would choose the lighter one.
"Um."
Then, Lin Qingyan listed out all the advantages of the old-fashioned bicycle to him, and whispered in his ear, "If you buy a women's model, how will you carry me on the front bar when you ride it?"
"My wife is right."
Lu Zhengting suddenly laughed. Based on the last point his wife made, he felt that the 28-inch bicycle was definitely better value for money than the women's bicycle.
"Then we'll take this one."
They had the craftsman assemble a new one so that it could remain in place as a sample.
Seeing that Lin Qingyan had actually bought a bicycle, Lin Sisi pestered Gu's mother, "Mom, when Mingzhou and I got married, he didn't buy me one. I want one too."
"Then why don't you buy one?"
"Okay, Mom."
She actually chose the exact same bicycle as Lin Qingyan and asked the mechanic to assemble one for her as well.
Lu Zhengting didn't have a receipt yet, so the driver gave him one. He would take the receipt to the counter to pay after he had bought everything.
After choosing their bicycles, they went to look at sewing machines.
There are two brands of sewing machines: Phoenix and Qianjin.
Lin Qingyan had never used a sewing machine like this before, so she just picked one randomly. "I didn't choose a Phoenix brand sewing machine for the bicycle, so I'll choose a Phoenix brand one."
"good."
The new sewing machine, in addition to the sample, also needs to be reassembled.
Lu Zhengting also asked the craftsman to assemble a new one for them.
Before they left, Lin Sisi and Gu's mother arrived again.
Lin Sisi bit her lip, realizing that Lu Zhengting was going to buy Lin Qingyan a three-wheeled radio and a speaker.
Lin Qingyan has a sewing machine, and she wants one too.
So she pestered Gu's mother again, "I also want a sewing machine, so I can make clothes for Mingzhou by hand. Whatever style Mingzhou wants to wear, I will make it for him."
Gu's mother asked in surprise, "You can make clothes?"
Lin Sisi didn't know how to sew at all, but she was afraid that Gu's mother wouldn't buy her a sewing machine, so she nodded and lied, "I can sew, otherwise I wouldn't want a sewing machine."
"Then let's buy it."
"Okay, Mom."
So Lin Sisi also asked for a sewing machine and had the craftsman assemble one for her.
Lin Qingyan, Lu Zhengting, and Lin Zhiheng hadn't completely left the sewing machine area yet. Just now, they bought bicycles, and Lin Sisi also bought bicycles. Now they were buying sewing machines, and Lin Sisi also bought sewing machines.
Lin Qingyan smiled slightly; Lin Sisi had started comparing her to her again.
From a young age, Lin Sisi liked to compare herself with the original owner. She wanted to have everything the original owner had, and she also wanted to have everything the original owner didn't have. And everything she had had to be better than what the original owner had.
Now that I'm buying things, how could she possibly fall behind?
She had no intention of comparing herself to Lin Sisi; she only wanted to buy what she needed.
After deciding on the sewing machine, they also needed to buy a radio. Lin Qingyan randomly picked one, had the salesperson turn it on and test its functions, and since there were no problems, she decided to take it. It even came with four AA batteries.
As she expected, Lin Sisi followed suit and bought a radio as well.
She glanced at Lin Sisi briefly before going to buy other things with Lu Zhengting and Lin Zhiheng.
They bought an aluminum pot for cooking rice, an iron wok with two handles for stir-frying, a cleaver, a cutting board, a stainless steel spoon, a spatula, ten pairs of chopsticks, six porcelain bowls, four plates, and a bamboo basket.
There was a stove in the kitchen, but Lin Qingyan wanted to buy a coal stove so she could cook with it when she didn't want to burn firewood, so she bought one.
