"Then take it out and let me see it."
Without giving it much thought, the salesperson showed her a women's watch. Seeing that there was a man next to her, he added, "They also bought a men's watch."
Li Meiling ignored the salesperson's words and put the watch on her wrist. She looked at it for a while, then held it up and asked Wang Dong, "Does it look good?"
Wang Dong nodded and said, "It looks good." Such a precious thing, many people have never touched it in their entire lives, how could it not look good?
"Would you mind giving me this watch?"
Wang Dong was stunned, seemingly unable to understand the meaning of her words.
Li Meiling, "Aren't you going to give me a New Year's present? No need for clothes or anything like that, just give me this watch."
"But……"
"But what? Didn't your mother say she wanted you to marry me? People want three turns and a ring, so it's not too much for you to give me a watch? Besides, if I take the watch, I don't want you to buy me new clothes. You won't refuse such a small request, right? Lu Xiao already bought it for Jiang Zhiqing."
Wang Dong blushed at her words. He had come to the county town with money, but how much could he spend on new clothes? How much was a watch? Moreover, he didn't have any industrial coupons.
Seeing that the salesperson was also looking at him, Wang Dong stammered and told him about his difficulties.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to buy it. If Li Meiling had an industrial voucher, he could grit his teeth and buy her a watch.
As she said, Lu Xiao bought it for Jiang Wanwan, and since Li Meiling was dating her, it was no big deal for him to buy her a watch.
When Li Meiling heard that there were no coupons and she was still asked for one, she took off her watch and put it on the counter.
"Forget it, I won't buy it. I shouldn't have counted on you. I originally thought you were much better than Lu Xiao, but I didn't expect you couldn't even buy a watch. What hope do I have by following you?"
Seeing the man leave angrily, Wang Dong apologized to the salesperson embarrassedly and hurriedly chased after him.
The salesperson snorted coldly and muttered, "Where did this stupid boy come from?"
"Meiling, Meiling..."
Wang Dong quickly caught up with Li Meiling and wanted to pull her, but there were people on both sides of the street and it was inconvenient to pull her, so he could only follow her and call her.
Li Meiling stopped and looked at him with a stern face, "Comrade Wang, please call me Li Zhiqing from now on."
Wang Dong was stunned. It was she who asked him to call her Meiling before, saying that it was a way to get closer and that was what everyone in the family called her.
Now it's Comrade Wang and Li Zhiqing...
"Are you angry? I just don't have an industrial voucher. You know, it's hard for people in our village to get one. If you really want one, I'll talk to my dad and see if he can help me get one."
He has money, although not much. At worst, he won't buy anything else for the festival. The most important thing is to get married.
During this period of time, he really fell in love with Li Meiling. In his entire life, apart from his mother and younger sister, no other woman was so close to him.
Li Meiling was even more unhappy. "Forget it. I thought you were a man of integrity. I dated you because I thought you were responsible and capable, and that you could support me. I didn't expect you to rely on your parents for everything like everyone else. I was wrong about you."
Wang Dong panicked even more. "Then...then why don't we go to the black market? Things there don't require tickets. What if we run into someone selling watches?"
Li Meiling didn't say anything, and Wang Dong directly pulled her towards the black market. He didn't notice the smile of success that flashed in the eyes of the woman behind him.
Of course, he couldn't let his parents know about this. It was unacceptable to ask her future father-in-law to find industrial coupons to buy her a watch before they even got married.
What's more, Wang Dong has two older brothers and two sisters-in-law.
The two of them went to the black market and actually came across a watch seller, but there were no coupons, and the price was 20 yuan more expensive than in the department store.
Wang Dong took out all the money he had on him, but was still short of 5 yuan. Li Meiling generously took out 5 yuan from her pocket and gave it to him.
After getting the watch, Li Meiling happily put it on her wrist, looked at it for a long time, and asked Wang Dong if it looked good.
Seeing that she was happy, Wang Dong's discomfort disappeared and he told her that it looked good.
Li Meiling looked around. At this moment, the two of them were in an alley near the black market. It was a remote alley with no one passing by. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Wang Dong.
Wang Dong was completely stunned and stood there. When he came to his senses, he forgot to hold the bicycle and hugged Li Meiling.
The sound of a bicycle falling to the ground with a bang caused the two people who were hugging each other to separate in panic.
Wang Dong's face turned red and his neck became thick. He hurriedly went to hold the bicycle, feeling very sweet in his heart.
Li Meiling covered her face shyly and turned her back to Wang Dong. She waited until Wang Dong had fixed the bicycle before she sat on the back seat shyly. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she put her arms around Wang Dong's waist.
Wang Dong tensed up again. Even in the middle of winter, he was sweating all over his forehead. All the blood in his body rushed to his face and down his body.
If it weren't for the thick winter clothes, I would have made a fool of myself by now.
"Where...where else do you want to go? I'll take you there."
"Just take a stroll and don't spend money recklessly. You need to save the money you have for your future life."
Wang Dong responded heavily.
At this time, Li Meiling's stomach made a rumbling sound. It was quiet here, so the sound was particularly obvious.
"Are you hungry?" Wang Dong asked.
"I left early in the morning to drive the ox cart," she didn't eat breakfast either.
Why do you need to eat at home when you come to the county town?
"How about we go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something? It's getting late. If you have a full meal, you'll have the energy to ride your bike. Otherwise, I won't have the heart to let you carry me."
Wang Dong hesitated, "But I have no money."
All the money was spent on that watch.
Li Meiling pinched his waist and said, "Hey, I'm treating you. Let's go. Why are you being so polite to me? It's just a meal. When have you ever seen me being stingy? From now on, what's mine is yours."
It was as if an electric current ran from his waist to his limbs and finally to his heart. Wang Dong felt numb and light all over.
Li Meiling's words made him feel like he was drunk, and he almost didn't know how he got on the bicycle.
Lu Xiao and Jiang Wanwan came out of the department store after buying watches. He originally wanted to buy a few more clothes for Jiang Wanwan, but she refused.
He also knew that his wife disliked the large number of people over there, so he didn't insist.
It was still early, and there were crowds of people in front of the shops and grocery stores. Lu Xiao took Jiang Wanwan directly to a small park not far away.
He and his wife have been married for such a long time, but they don't have many opportunities to go out together, and he has no time to have fun with his wife.
He heard that city people would go to parks and watch movies when they were dating. Their small county town didn't have a movie theater, but there was a small park.
There is a large lotus pond in the park. In the summer, there are lotus flowers in it and you can go boating. Now the lotus flowers have withered and the river surface is covered with thick ice, so there are many ice skating activities.
