The phrase "a person with a predestined connection" is very spiritual.
Seeing Jiang Si looking at the coat with bright eyes, Huo Tingzhou guessed that she liked it, so he asked Manager Luo.
"Can I try this on?"
Store Manager Luo immediately took down the clothes, saying, "Of course, the size should be right."
Huo Tingzhou wasn't mistaken; Jiang Si truly liked him.
I took the clothes and went into the fitting room.
While waiting, in order to appease the two little ones who had been sitting for quite a while.
Huo Tingzhou took out the cookies that Jiang Si had prepared in advance from his pocket and fed one to each of them.
"After Mom finishes trying on the clothes, we'll go to the department store to pick out new clothes for you for the New Year."
Upon hearing this, the brother and sister asked in surprise, "Are you still going to buy it?"
Huo Tingzhou rubbed their little heads. "That's right, we all need to wear new clothes for the New Year. Don't you two want to wear them?"
Sui Sui blinked her big eyes and said, "But we've already bought them!"
As she spoke, she recounted how Aunt Chris had taken them to try on clothes the day before yesterday.
Sui Sui was wearing a dark suit with a small bow tie.
Zhao Zhao was wearing a white tutu and a very pretty hair clip on her head, which Aunt Chris said was called a crown.
As if she had just thought of something, Sui Sui added, "Aunt Chris was also wearing a white tutu. Mom praised her for looking very pretty, like a princess."
Huo Tingzhou listened thoughtfully, "A white tutu?"
“Yes!” Zhao Zhao nodded vigorously. “Aunt Chris even took a lot of photos wearing that, they looked so beautiful.”
“That’s a wedding dress,” Manager Luo replied with a smile. “Thirty or forty years ago, it was also popular in Shanghai for a while. Many fashionable gentlemen and ladies wore this when they got married.”
As they were talking, the door to the fitting room opened, and Jiang Si walked out.
The size of the clothes was just right, and the unique "sleeve-covered-shoulder" design made her look both tall and slender, as well as intellectual and elegant.
"How is it?" Jiang Si asked.
Huo Tingzhou's gaze was fixed on her, and he nodded without hesitation, "Beautiful."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao covered their mouths and circled around their mother several times.
The next second, gasps of amazement filled the air, and they even clapped their hands in a serious manner!
"Mom, you look especially beautiful in this outfit!"
"Mmm! This dress clearly has Mom's name on it!"
It has to be said that its emotional value is off the charts.
Jiang Si smiled and glanced at Huo Tingzhou, a hint of smugness in her eyes. "What are you going to do? You've been outshone by your son and daughter."
Huo Tingzhou didn't care much about this; after all, they were his children, and as long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered.
Finally, this piece of clothing, along with the two pairs of leather shoes behind it, were all taken away.
The six sets of clothes plus two pairs of leather shoes cost nearly 600 yuan, plus 40 industrial vouchers.
After paying, Jiang Si was about to go to the fitting room to change out of her coat when Huo Tingzhou grabbed her hand.
"Wear this." He looked at Jiang Si with a particularly serious expression. "It looks great."
"Mm." Jiang Si nodded.
Since the clothes were meant to be worn anyway, and the weather was nice today, she readily agreed.
After leaving the store, the family walked east along Nanjing Road.
Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the crowds on this street are no less than those on New Year's Eve in later generations.
The further you go in, the larger the crowd becomes, and all sorts of noises fill the air.
The two little ones covered their masks tightly, and given their height, all you could see on the street were moving butts!
Just now, someone, lacking any sense of sportsmanship, let out several muffled farts right in their little faces, leaving the two little guys with bitter expressions.
Fortunately, Huo Tingzhou noticed it immediately and quickly scooped them up in his arms, letting them sit in his embrace.
"Wife, stay close to me."
Jiang Si nodded, gripping his arm tightly with one hand.
With his tall and strong physique, Huo Tingzhou quickly led the mother and her three children out of the most crowded section of the road.
However, the number of people inside the department store was no less than those outside.
There are several department stores on this street, but in terms of size and variety of goods, the No. 1 Department Store has a more complete selection.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a saying like "The whole country's supplies are guaranteed for Shanghai, and Shanghai's supplies are sold at the Shanghai Department Store."
The two little ones, sitting high up, could see far, and as soon as they entered the department store, they discovered something strange.
"Mommy, what are they looking at?" The two little ones asked curiously as they saw everyone gathered around a dark staircase.
Jiang Si knew without looking that these people were looking at the escalator.
Installed in 1936
At that time, only the No. 1 Department Store in the entire city of Shanghai had escalators, which were said to have been installed in the early 1930s.
Jiang Si remembers that when she was a child, she had to spend a dime to buy a sightseeing ticket to ride this elevator.
Later, after the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, these two escalators were regarded as "assets of high status" and ceased operation.
Otherwise, she really wanted to bring the two little ones to experience it once.
But it doesn't matter, the Yihe Hotel also installed two elevators.
Upon hearing this, the two little ones immediately became interested and asked several questions in a row while going upstairs.
Jiang Si tried her best to explain in a way they could understand, and Zhao Zhao understood that as long as a person stands on the escalator, the escalator will move by itself, and they can go to whichever floor they want.
Sui Sui asked curiously, "Mommy, why can it move by itself?"
