Chapter 1440 Accompanying My Wife Shopping
After buying face cream for the first snowfall, Fu Yancheng said softly, "Let's go to the grocery counter and I'll bring you some snacks back."
Chu Xue naturally wouldn't refuse, after all, one person eating for four people would get hungry quickly: "Whatever you say."
When Fu Yancheng left, he carried a lot of receipts with him: "Comrade, please pack me a pound of chicken cake, two pounds of glutinous rice strips, and a pound of peach shortbread."
After saying all that, he carefully looked at the other snacks in the counter and saw that there were animal crackers from Yili, even in a tin box. Fu Yancheng pointed to them and said, "Give me another box of animal crackers."
Before the sales clerk could say anything, Chu Xue burst out laughing, her voice slightly coquettish: "I'm not a child, why would I buy animal crackers?"
Fu Yancheng watched as the sales clerk was busy weighing the items he had just mentioned. He leaned close to Chu Xue's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You're not a child, you're my precious darling."
Chu Xue suddenly looked up: "You"
He stammered for a long time, his face turning red, and he couldn't say anything more. This would be perfectly normal in later times, but how could this man be so good at flirting? The key point is that this man was standing straight in his military uniform, with a serious expression on his face.
Fu Yancheng's lips curled up as he watched the saleswoman turn away to attend to her work again: "My wife is so good, of course I have to spoil her more, otherwise what if she runs away?"
Chu Xue reached out and pinched his waist: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Fu Yancheng didn't dodge, but just smiled and looked at him: "Take a look and see what else you want to eat, let's buy it and take it back with us."
Thinking that her child would be born in a few months, she said, "Did you bring any cloth coupons? I want to go buy some cotton cloth and learn how to make baby clothes from Sister Tao."
When Fu Yancheng heard that clothes were to be made for the child, he readily agreed: "Bring them."
Actually, there was quite a bit of cloth stored in the First Snow Space, but it still needed some cover-up, right? I'll make a few trips to the military service center and the town's supply and marketing cooperative later. Even if there's something extra, it'll make sense.
Then, Fu Yancheng bought another pound of milk candy and another pound of fruit candy: "The weather is getting cooler and cooler, so it's good to have more candy on hand to give your body some energy."
The two then headed straight for the fabric counter.
There were only a few options for the backing. Chuxue chose a piece of bright blue with red peonies, a piece of bright red with red and yellow peonies, and a piece of lake blue with pink peonies. She tore enough of each to make two small quilts, and then tore off some white cotton fabric to make the lining.
The saleswoman, holding a piece of fabric in her hand, said with a smile, "This pattern makes a festive quilt, and the leftover scraps can be used to make two small pillows."
She glanced at Chuxue's belly, then at the torn floral fabric, and asked uncertainly, "Girl, are you carrying triplets?"
Chu Xue simply smiled without answering, but the answer was obvious.
There are three different patterns, so there's no need to worry about mixing them up.
After all that was done, the cloth ration coupons were used up.
Fu Yancheng told Chu Xue to wait there while he ran to a nearby place and bought two net bags. He then came back and put all the things inside.
Only then, carrying two net bags in one hand and protecting Chuxue with the other, did he leave the department store and head back to where the military base was waiting for the shuttle bus.
As soon as he arrived, someone greeted him, "Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, are you bringing your wife back to the city to do some shopping?"
You can't hit a smiling face. Even though this woman didn't have a good reputation in the family compound, Fu Yancheng didn't want to deal with her, so he still nodded to her and said, "Yes."
The woman's eyes were now fixed on the net bag in Fu Yancheng's hand: "Oh, why did you buy so much floral fabric? That's such a waste of money."
