"Let's buy some things in the morning, and then see if we need to buy anything else after we finish watching the movie in the afternoon?"
Lin Qiyue, who had shown no emotional fluctuations, suddenly became interested, her eyes flashing as she looked at Lan Yuchu and asked, "What movie are we watching?"
"It's a new movie, and I haven't seen it yet." Lan Yuchu went to the cinema to buy tickets. The cinema only showed one movie in the afternoon.
"Okay, let's go out then." Lin Qiyue was actually still very curious about what movies were like in this era.
The two of them went out like that. Their home wasn't far from the mall, and they brought enough money and tickets.
When I arrived at the mall, I saw that it was still early, so I went in to shop.
For Lin Qiyue, food was a scarce commodity in those days, and many meals were not very good.
She was curious about what the mall was like.
Everyone was very simple and honest. The first floor was a supply and marketing cooperative, which sold food and daily necessities.
The second floor sells clothes, both men's and women's.
"Comrade, would you like to see some fabric? We're giving away needles and thread with every fabric purchase!" A simply dressed middle-aged woman noticed Lin Qiyue's curious expression.
Lin Qiyue stopped in her tracks because of her sales pitch. She looked at the fabric, which looked a little unattractive, but it felt quite comfortable to the touch.
"Comrade, this fabric is very comfortable. It's 1.2 yuan per meter. You can buy it by the fabric. Would you like two meters?" the fabric salesperson asked.
Lan Yuchu looked at Lin Qiyue and stepped forward, saying, "Let's buy three meters. Let's also look at other colors. A brighter color would look better on you."
Lin Qiyue immediately blushed after hearing what he said.
"That's right, brighter colors make you look more energetic and better looking, and that's how men will cherish you!" The older woman couldn't help but promote the fabric she had bought. "You two are getting married, right? This fabric is very comfortable. Buy some to make pajamas or underwear."
She handed the fabric to Lin Qiyue to touch, and then enthusiastically promoted it.
"Isn't this just lace fabric? It's cool and slippery." Lin Qiyue felt instantly embarrassed.
This woman is anything but reserved in this respect.
He awkwardly withdrew his hand and touched his neck.
Lan Yuchu hadn't thought of that aspect.
"Then let's see if we need any other fabric?"
Seeing that he showed no sign of anything amiss, Lin Qiyue realized her shyness had been pointless.
I picked out a few nice colors and bought five meters of each color.
As I walked along carrying the fabric, I discovered shoes—high heels—as well as a cheongsam and a skirt.
What girl could resist a beautiful cheongsam and dress?
However, she didn't buy it.
Lan Yuchu noticed that Lin Qiyue's gaze lingered on her, and sensing that Lin Qiyue wanted it, he reached out and pulled on the clothes on her arm, saying, "If you like it, we'll buy it."
Lin Qiyue stopped, looked at Lan Yuchu, and then at the clothes.
So, out of curiosity, I asked the sales clerk, "Comrade, how much are this cheongsam and skirt?"
"The skirt is a new style, and it costs thirty yuan with the cloth coupon. The cheongsam is cheaper, twenty-five yuan."
After listening to the sales clerk, Lin Qiyue said, "No, I only earn forty yuan a month. I don't wear this to work. Let's go."
It wasn't that she thought it was too expensive, but rather that the dress wasn't her style, and besides, the white top and blue bottom weren't very flattering.
She was just curious when she asked about the price.
Her grandmother was a seamstress, and she grew up with her grandmother, so naturally she also knew how to make clothes.
She, a modern woman from a later era, went back and made herself a beautiful and fashionable outfit.
"Can I buy it if I like it?" Lan Yuchu took out money from her pocket to buy it, but Lin Qiyue immediately took the money and said helplessly, "I don't like it. I'm just looking and asking."
Lan Yuchu still didn't believe it; he thought Lin Qiyue was someone he liked.
"Let's buy a watch. We didn't have time to buy one when we got married, so let's make up for it today." He wasn't suggesting it, he just said it, and then took out money and industrial coupons from his pocket.
Seeing him take out his money to buy it, Lin Qiyue didn't stop him, but couldn't help asking out of curiosity, "Comrade, how much does this watch cost?"
"Not expensive, ninety-eight yuan." After the salesperson finished speaking, Lin Qiyue subconsciously looked at Lan Yuchu. Actually, it wasn't that she had to buy it; she didn't like wearing this thing.
Although the two had no feelings for each other, the watch was too expensive, costing the original owner two and a half months' salary.
Lan Yuchu ignored Lin Qiyue's expression, took out the corresponding tickets and money, and said, "If I buy a pair, can you give me a discount?"
"Sure, comrade, a pair for your wedding only costs 160 yuan." The sales clerk took the money and receipt, counted them, and said, "That's exactly enough for two watches. I'll pack them up for you right now."
The sales clerk packed it up and handed it to Lan Yuchu, saying, "Comrade, here you go. Congratulations on your marriage!"
"Thanks!"
Lan Yuchu and Lin Qiyue both laughed awkwardly, but responded politely.
They've been married for three years, and they just said it was a belated wedding gift. Since they said that, they must think we've only been married a short time!
After buying the items, we took them to a state-run restaurant, whose signboard was red.
"Would you two like something to eat?" At this moment, the waiter came over to greet them as they sat down.
Lan Yuchu asked Lin Qiyue, "What would you like to eat?"
Lin Qiyue didn't refuse, looking at the dishes on the menu, which seemed very much in line with the times.
I am indeed a little hungry.
"I'd like a plate of shredded pork with eggs, a vegetable dish, braised beef, and two bowls of rice. What else would you like to order?" she asked Lan Yuchu.
