Yu Chengyuan pushed the stroller, and Xiaotangtang lay obediently inside, fast asleep.
Liu Sulan stood beside her husband, smiling as she watched her sleeping baby.
"This little one fell asleep while we were shopping."
Let her sleep!
That's a bit better; you can try on the clothes in peace later.
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile, looking at his child with eyes full of affection.
"The mall is just ahead, let's hurry!"
Yu Chengyuan nodded, and the two quickened their pace.
As soon as the couple reached the mall entrance, they could hear the lively and noisy sounds of people, with the most popular songs playing on the loudspeakers.
"Chengyuan, there are quite a few people here today!"
It's a pity my eldest sister didn't come.
Liu Sulan said with some regret.
"It's okay that my older sister didn't come; she might have been held up by something."
Her build is similar to yours, just a bit bigger. Just pick out a dress for her one size larger than yours later.
Yu Chengyuan came up with an idea.
"That's a good idea, let's start shopping!"
Liu Sulan nodded; she hadn't been to a shopping mall in a long time either.
Stepping into the mall, the wooden shelves are filled with a dazzling array of goods, and the colorful packaging paper also reflects the characteristics of the times.
Yu Chengyuan began to examine it carefully.
The enamel mugs were neatly stacked together, each printed with a large red "double happiness" character or a bright peony pattern.
The thermos flasks are made of either woven bamboo or sheet metal, and are decorated with landscape paintings.
Yu Chengyuan still remembers the water liner inside the thermos flask very clearly; the inner liner was so shiny it could be used as a mirror.
However, it must be said that thermos flasks are cheap and affordable, and they keep things warm for a long time, easily lasting all night.
In the clothing section, young women were captivated by the polyester shirts on display; their lightweight fabric and vibrant colors were symbols of 1980s fashion.
Many female college students still like to buy and wear clothes made of polyester fabric.
On the shelf next to them hung military green jackets with epaulets on the shoulders, attracting many young men to stop and look.
The toy section is a paradise for children, where tin frogs hop and jump on the ground, making crisp sounds.
A wondrous world is hidden inside a colorful kaleidoscope; with a gentle turn, you can see ever-changing patterns.
Upon seeing the kaleidoscope, Yu Chengyuan picked it up and looked at it. The world inside was colorful and breathtaking.
This is one of the few joys that children have in this era.
There's always a long line in front of the candy counter.
Many people who come to the mall think about bringing some candy home as snacks for their children.
The glass jar was filled with colorful fruit candies and milk candies, emitting an enticing sweet aroma.
The orange-flavored fruit candy is the most popular; it's sweet and sour and tastes great.
There's also taffy and peanut brittle.
Nougat is chewy, delicious, and fun.
Peanut brittle is sweet and has a peanut flavor, which children love.
White Rabbit Creamy Candy is definitely the most delicious, with a particularly rich milky flavor, but it's also the most expensive.
A pack of White Rabbit milk candy costs more than ten yuan, which is something that ordinary people really can't afford.
The salesperson skillfully scooped up the candy with a spoon, weighed it on a scale, wrapped it in brown paper, and handed it to the delighted customer.
Also, some of the children's clothes are in colors similar to those of adults, which is really not nice!
I didn't see many nice silk scarves; they were all the traditional, old-fashioned styles.
People in the shopping mall wore satisfied smiles, pursuing the beauty and hope of life in this small space.
Yu Chengyuan and his wife strolled around the mall and saw two stores selling adult clothing.
In addition to polyester and military overcoats, there were also floral print clothes or coarse cotton clothes, and skirts were very rare.
The pants were either blue or gray, with very few bright colors, let alone fitted and stylish clothes.
Apart from a few men's leather shoes, most women's shoes are cloth shoes.
Otherwise, they'll be wearing very expensive genuine leather shoes.
Most of them were cloth shoes and liberation shoes.
Yu Chengyuan hadn't paid attention to these things before, because he had always focused on his food business.
I only just realized how scarce clothing is in this county.
"Honey, have you seen any clothes here that you like?"
Yu Chengyuan turned to ask his wife.
Liu Sulan shook her head. "I didn't like any of them. They're not nice at all. They're not as good as the clothes my mom used to buy me!"
She wasn't being pretentious; it's just that the clothes weren't as good as the ones her mother bought for her.
"Which store did Mom buy it for you? Let's go buy it now."
Yu Chengyuan felt that there was really nothing to see in this place, and he couldn't find anything to criticize.
Liu Sulan shook her head. "Not here. My mom bought it for me in a big city."
Never mind, I'll ask my mom to bring me back a couple of items when she goes on her business trip!
Let's buy one today!
"Just wear these for now!"
After much deliberation, I finally bought a ruffled collar top, a white batwing top, and a wool midi skirt.
I also bought a larger size for my older sister; the only difference is the color.
The eldest sister's outfit had a more subdued color scheme, while Liu Sulan's own outfit was a delicate sky blue.
"Chengyuan, now that we're out, let's buy a new set of clothes for each of our parents to take back home!"
