In the afternoon, Cheng Xiao Kui took her older and younger sisters to a department store. This was the first time the three sisters had gone to a department store together.
Cheng Qiu Kui had just visited the mall that morning, and she described to her two older sisters what each floor sold, as if she knew it by heart.
Cheng Xiaokui walked to the watch counter, took out the money for buying watches from her pocket, and bought three identical watches.
She said, "These three watches are exactly the same; there's one for each of us three sisters."
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "Sister, I don't want it. Didn't Mom want a piece? Give this one to Mom."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "What we promised Mom is what we promised her, what your husband's family gives you is what your husband's family gives you, and what Mom is supposed to give you, you will receive in full!"
Silly girl, you still think you have too much wealth? You'll see how wonderful it is in the future!
While she was in the detention cell, her only regret was that she didn't have a watch and couldn't tell the time.
So she thought to herself, "I must buy a watch when I get out." And since the three sisters are going to buy one, they should all buy matching models!
Cheng Qiu Kui's arm was linked with her two older sisters' arms, and she stood between them.
She smiled and said, "Big sister, second sister, I think I'm the happiest sister in the world. I have two older sisters who love me, and a younger brother who also loves me. To be honest, I don't really want to get married! I can't bear to leave you all."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "What nonsense is this child talking about? How is this leaving us? Your house isn't that far from me. It only takes fifteen or sixteen minutes by bike!"
If it weren't for market concerns, she would have bought her sister a house next to hers!
But if the houses are next to each other, business is impossible. Only by keeping them apart can everyone avoid affecting each other's businesses.
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "It takes another fifteen or sixteen minutes to ride a bicycle! How far is that!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Then you should work hard to make money! Try to earn enough for a courtyard house in a month, and then buy a courtyard house near me as your wedding home."
The courtyard I booked for you today will simply be used as a small restaurant. You'll come home there every day, so it'll be very close to me!
Cheng Qiuqiu nodded her little head repeatedly, "Okay, okay, sister's idea is better!"
Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "No, my mother-in-law said she has an apartment for us to use as our wedding home. It's a two-bedroom apartment on the third floor with excellent natural light. She'll definitely make me live there after I get married."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "What your in-laws give you is yours, and what you buy yourself is also yours. You can live wherever you want! At worst, you can just change places every day!"
Cheng Chun Kui said, "Tsk tsk, my Qiu Kui is so rich and powerful, she has so many houses! Other families have several people crammed into one room. You have so many houses that you have to take turns living in them!"
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "Big sister, please don't laugh at me! I had no choice."
Haha! Big sister, I'm incredibly happy every day now! It feels like every day is a new day!
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Every day is a new day! There are 30,000 days in a lifetime, so enjoy every day you can."
The three of us sisters will happily spend the rest of our lives together!
Cheng Qiu Kui nodded her little head, her lips curving upwards, her smile even harder to suppress than AK's.
Cheng Chun Kui smiled faintly, her eyes filled with envy for Cheng Xiao Kui and Cheng Qiu Kui.
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "When we're choosing a house for Qiu Kui, let's also choose one for our eldest sister. It would be best if the houses for the three of us sisters were all next to each other."
Then I'll pick out a storefront for my older sister to start her business. But I don't have much money right now.
This month, I'll use the money and things I promised to give Mom to get her everything she needs. Next month, I'll deposit it for my eldest sister!
Cheng Chun Kui hurriedly said, "I don't want to leave, and I'm not in a hurry to get married. You don't need to save anything for me."
"Don't you pay me back my salary every month? I'm saving it up myself!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "No rush to buy, we can keep looking. Once we find a suitable house, we'll make a move. Look! There's even a jade counter!"
This was something she hadn't expected. She thought that in this era, at most, people would only sell gold and silver jewelry, and there wouldn't be any jewelry counters.
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "Yes, I saw them this morning. These stones are just so-so, all green, not very pretty. There are also some that are both green and white. I prefer the red ones."
Looking at the price of each jade bracelet in the display case and listening to her sister's complaints, Cheng Xiao Kui's lips twitched a few times.
In another twenty years or so, Cheng Qiu Kui will know just how valuable this green bracelet is!
This is a full-green imperial green jadeite bangle!
However, in this era, people are still struggling to make ends meet and don't have spare money to buy jewelry.
Without a market, there is no price; the price of imperial green jadeite completely shattered her worldview!
The imperial green jadeite probably never imagined that, in a few decades, it would become so precious that a single bracelet could sell for tens of millions!
Cheng Xiaokui pointed to the bracelet in the display case and asked, "Salesperson, is this bracelet 180 yuan?"
The saleswoman glanced at the bracelet Cheng Xiaokui was pointing to and said, "Yes, isn't there a tag on it? Why are you asking?"
She didn't even glance at Cheng Xiao Kui.
Cheng Xiao Kui wasn't too surprised by the sales clerk's attitude. In this era, sales clerks in shopping malls, cooperatives, especially those at the meat counter, and even those at the breakfast counter, were all considered superior to others!
They are definitely first-class citizens!
When all kinds of supplies are scarce, it is up to these sales clerks to decide who to sell things to.
Moreover, they can find out when the goods will arrive before others.
For example, if a relative of yours is a butcher, you're guaranteed to get a beautiful, large piece of fatty meat when you buy it!
Having relatives like that makes you walk with a swagger!
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Could you please bring these bracelets up here so I can take a look?"
The saleswoman said, "Are you buying anything? Which one do you want? I'll get you that one."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Of course I want to buy it, but I want to pick some out."
The saleswoman said, "They're all pretty much the same, what's there to choose? Which one do you want? I'll get it for you!"
Cheng Qiu Kui's face fell. She pulled Cheng Xiao Kui and said, "Second sister, let's not buy it. What a piece of junk! It's just a stone bracelet. I don't want it. It's green, so ugly!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "This bracelet is of very good quality; it's called full green!"
The saleswoman said, "Don't you understand? This is called jadeite! Do you know what jadeite is? If you don't, don't talk! Jadeite is green! You think there's red too? Pshaw!"
The saleswoman rolled her eyes and gave the three sisters a disdainful look, clearly thinking they knew absolutely nothing...
