Chapter 175 Winning the First Prize
When she saw the pattern of a TV on it, she didn't react at all.
"Oh my God, miss, you are so lucky. Our event has been going on for half a month, and today is the last day. I didn't expect that you would win the first prize." The waiter exclaimed excitedly.
This attracted the attention of the salesgirl at the next counter.
Hearing this, Gu Wanxing's eyes sparkled and the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears. He was happier than buying a ring.
The TV is much more expensive than the ring.
"I'm so lucky."
It took her a long time to accept this fact and she excitedly praised it.
Fu Zheng looked at her smile, and there was also a hint of doting in his eyes:
"Well, you've been great."
…
When Gu Wanxing received the award, he learned that the lottery posters had just been removed. After twelve o'clock tonight, the event was completely over. He did not expect that the first prize would be announced at the last minute.
When the two of them walked out of the store holding the TV, Gu Wanxing still felt it was not very real. They could win the jackpot with just a single draw.
"A 20-inch color TV from Shanghai sells for 3,500 yuan here. We only spent a little over 1,000 yuan to get a bigger one. It's a great deal."
Gu Wanxing is still a little excited. She is thinking about buying something else and winning the prize again. Maybe the motorcycle can be hers too.
She wanted to share her joy, but she never got a response from the man, so she stole a glance at him.
Although the man was smiling, it was always just a superficial smile.
I knew he was still thinking about the diamond ring.
"Are you still worried about the ring?"
Fu Zheng sighed softly: "No, I just feel that I am useless, and I want to make more money in the future."
He was angry at himself because he couldn't even afford to buy a ring for his wife. He was indeed a failure. Even if he counted all his assets, he couldn't afford that ring.
Gu Wanxing didn't know that this little episode actually stimulated the man to work hard.
It was not until many years later, when the man placed a safe full of jewelry in front of her, that she realized that she had achieved jewelry freedom.
Of course, this is all later.
Gu Wanxing couldn't empathize with him, but he softened his tone and said:
"For ordinary people like us, gold is the most practical. If we run out of money in the future, we can just sell one. Things like diamonds don't hold their value. Didn't you hear the waiter say that gold holds its value, but after buying diamonds, the money you paid for them evaporates. Besides, I was just kidding. I don't really want them."
She was telling the truth and really didn't like diamond rings.
Having said that, Gu Wanxing stared at the ring on his hand and laughed at himself.
In her previous life, she made her fortune by relying on the gold bars given by her mother.
"Okay, I understand. I won't dwell on it anymore. Let's go quickly. I feel like it's going to rain soon."
Fu Zheng looked up at the dark sky, feeling the moisture on his face, and said.
"good."
The two of them need to walk two or three kilometers to get back to the hotel.
Sure enough, it started to rain not long after we left, but it was very light.
Luckily, they were almost at the hotel, and coincidentally, the rain started pouring down as soon as they entered the hotel.
Back on the third floor, Fu Zheng put the TV down, opened it and checked it. It was a new TV, so he put it back together.
"This TV will be hard to carry when you get it back, so I'll go to the post office and mail it to you tomorrow."
Fu Zheng said as he packed.
Gu Wanxing opened the luggage bag again and took a look at the things in it before closing it again.
Prepared for Fu Zheng.
"No need. I'll pick out the goods and ask the boss to mail them to me. I'll take the TV with me so it doesn't get damaged in the mail."
"That's fine, I'll accompany you tomorrow." Fu Zheng's tone was a little tired.
Gu Wanxing recognized it as soon as he heard it.
"Aren't you going back to work tomorrow? I brought you a lot of things."
Gu Wanxing brought the bulging handbag to him and motioned him to take it.
Fu Zheng: ...
In fact, he really wanted to forget what happened in the afternoon, but the bag only contained a few clothes, a kettle and a teacup.
When did so many things appear?
He looked suspiciously at the little woman who didn't dare to look him in the eye, bent down and picked up his handbag, the weight of which was different from when he came.
Isn't this just trying to cover up one's mistakes?
Gu Wanxing didn't think about so many details, and she forgot that when she first arrived, it was Fu Zheng who carried the bag. If she had known earlier, she would have put two big watermelons in the bag so that it would have some weight.
Originally, she thought that after she arrived, she would pack her things and then call him.
Everything seemed foolproof, but Fu Zheng's trip to the grounding station disrupted all her plans.
However, Fu Zheng felt relieved when he saw her calm expression and thought of her extraordinary abilities.
"Then I'll go back to the army tonight, check out of the room later, and come to pick you up tomorrow morning." Fu Zheng opened it and saw that there were still dumplings.
"If I had known earlier, we would have come here to eat dumplings." He added at the end.
Gu Wanxing's eyes flickered: "I forgot."
"Yeah, I don't know if it's broken or not. It's been so many days." Fu Zheng looked at her deeply and said resentfully.
Gu Wanxing didn't respond, but urged: "Okay, let's go, I won't see you off."
She was also very tired, both physically and mentally.
Under Gu Wanxing's repeated urging, Fu Zheng left again.
Before leaving, there will inevitably be another round of kissing and hugging...
After everyone left, Gu Wanxing lay on the bed, staring at the beautiful ceiling in a daze.
This day was truly thrilling.
It rained all night, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Gu Wanxing originally planned to sleep outside, but later he entered the space.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Fu Zheng drove to the hotel and Gu Wanxing was waiting there.
Because she didn't know whether Fu Zheng checked out and returned to the army last night or slept in the hotel.
So I can only wait silently.
Now that he has arrived, I thought they were going out for breakfast, but I didn't expect him to be here to deliver a handbag.
"I have an urgent mission and can't go shopping with you. Can you go by yourself?" Fu Zheng hugged her in his arms, with deep reluctance in his eyes.
When Gu Wanxing heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
"I can do that. I used to buy the goods myself."
Even though he was reluctant, Fu Zheng still left because work was more important.
After seeing the car drive away, Gu Wanxing returned to the hotel, went into the space to have breakfast, and put the TV into the space.
Then rushed to Jindi Street.
She shopped with purpose and goal in mind, and she picked out a lot of things in the morning. She bought a lot of down jackets, various down vests, and tweed coats.
Nowadays, autumn pants are either jeans or bell-bottoms, which are not the skinny trousers she is wearing.
It took her two days to purchase goods in Guangzhou. The first day she bought winter coats, and the second day she bought autumn clothes, including all kinds of sweaters, high-necked and low-necked ones, as well as overalls and shirts.
I also bought a lot of overalls, autumn clothes and autumn trousers sets.
I also got a lot of square-heeled pointed-toe leather shoes.
Flat lace-up pointed-toe patent leather shoes all matched the skirts she bought.
On the day of leaving, Gu Wanxing called Fu Zheng's army.
Just wanted to say goodbye.
She thought it was just an ordinary call, but when she was about to hang up, she heard someone on the other end ask: Is this Fu Tuan’s second-hand wife?
She had just wanted someone to convey a message, and then she left, but ended up hearing this over the phone.
Maybe the person who answered the phone hadn't hung up yet, so the man couldn't wait to ask.
Although this was true, Gu Wanxing felt that Fu Zheng's situation was quite bad.
How could he be in a good mood if people were talking about him?
