Chapter 174 Meeting Liu Ping
Li Yue'e watched the fabric counter for a long time. Su Mo saw that she was absorbed in watching, so she asked, "Mom, what kind of fabric do you like? I'll tear it for you."
Li Yue'e waved her hand, "No, Mom just looks at these fabrics and feels happy. Life is getting better and better. Look at these fabrics, they are so beautiful."
Li Yue'e looked for a while, and then went to other counters to look at them one by one. Basically, there was only one counter for each category.
Li Yue'e was amazed and sighed as she looked, saying that it was good that this child had a promising future. If it weren't for the third child bringing her here, she didn't know if she would have the opportunity to see such a world in her life.
When she saw that there was a counter for candies, Li Yue'e exclaimed in surprise. She had never seen so many candies before.
In the commune supply and marketing cooperative, there was only one kind of fruit candy wrapped in cellophane. As for milk candy, it was only available when Lu Changzheng sent it back from time to time.
Candy did not require tickets, and the children had just received their New Year's money, so they all ran to buy candy. The counter was crowded with children and adults, and the candy salesmen were busy.
Li Yue'e thought of her grandchildren at home, so she squeezed in and selected two kinds of candy she had never seen before, buying half a catty of each. One was a crispy candy, which cost 55 cents for half a catty, and the other was a sandwich candy, which was more expensive, costing 90 cents for half a catty. Since
they had all come to the city to see the world, Li Yue'e no longer felt sorry for the expensiveness, and bought some back for the children to try.
Li Yuet-ngor gave the salesperson 1.5 yuan and waited for him to give the change.
The cashier here is the classic wire-teleport cashier.
The department store is divided into several areas, each with a cashier counter. The cashier counter is built in mid-air, located in the middle of the area, with the cashier counter as the center, and wires are stretched from the air to each counter.
After the customer gives the bill, the salesperson clips the bill and the bill with a wire and hangs it on the wire. When the switch is pressed, the clip will be teleported to the cashier counter in mid-air. After the cashier gave the change, he hung the clip on the wire, pushed it hard, and it came down again.
Li Yue'e watched the salesperson clip the money on the wire and pass it to the cashier. After a while, a clip slid down from the cashier, holding the five cents change for her.
Li Yue'e was amazed and said to Su Mo beside her: "Xiao Mo, mother has finally opened her eyes today."
Su Mo smiled secretly. Not only did she open her eyes, but she also opened her eyes. The last time she came, she was also staring at it.
"Xiao Mo, what if it falls down? Wouldn't the money be picked up by someone?" Li Yue'e asked the doubts in her heart.
Apparently, Li Yue'e was not the only one who thought this way. Su Mo saw many children following the passing clips, probably thinking that they could pick them up if they fell off.
"This clip should be very tight, and it won't fall off under normal circumstances." Su Mo explained.
Looking at such a lively scene, Lu Boying's eyes could not help but become moist.
Such a life is great!
The people no longer have to worry about being frightened, no longer being enslaved like pigs and dogs, and can live a stable life. As long as they work hard enough, their lives will get better day by day.
In the past, there was no such abundance and so many things for the people to buy. If there was anything good, they had to hide it for fear of being robbed.
Seeing Lu Boming's expression, Lu Changzheng comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry, the days ahead will only get better and better."
He looked at the books about the future in his wife's space. The days ahead were really better than he could imagine. There were abundant supplies and unlimited purchases. There were stores like department stores everywhere. Almost every family had a car, and everyone could take an airplane. There was also something called a high-speed rail, which was incredibly fast.
How great it would be if Grandpa could also see such a scene!
Lu Boming wiped his eyes and said, "Yes, the days ahead will only get better and better."
The few of them continued to shop. When they came to the wool counter, Su Mo bought two and a half kilograms of light gray wool, intending to knit a sweater for Geng Changqing.
Geng Changqing took such good care of her family and gave him money and things from time to time, so she could only do these things to repay him.
In addition to the sweater, she was going to pick out a good piece of cloth from the cloth brought by her aunt and ask Li Yue'e to make her a Zhongshan suit.
Some counters in the department store were all ready-made clothes and shoes and hats. The prices of the things here were relatively expensive, and the flow of people was much less.
While walking around, Lu Changzheng noticed a pair of eyes staring at him. He turned around and saw that it was Luo Yuan, the director of the Qingxi County Revolutionary Committee, and there was a young woman next to him who looked familiar.
Liu Ping saw Lu Changzheng looking at her, smiled, and walked over with Luo Yuan.
"Comrade Lu, what a coincidence. Are you bringing your family to the department store?"
Lu Changzheng then recognized that the person was Liu Ping, and said lightly, "Yes."
Then he nodded to Luo Yuan as a greeting.
Su Mo was accompanying Li Yue'e to pick out hats at this time.
Li Yue'e thought the hats that Su Mo bought for Lu Boying and Lu Qing'an a few days ago were good. Since it was a rare visit, she wanted to buy one for the second child as well, so that he wouldn't always complain that he didn't love her.
Yesterday, the second child's family gave her a red envelope of 10 yuan. Since they were generous, she was not a stingy person.
When she heard someone talking to Lu Changzheng, Su Mo looked over.
When Liu Ping saw Su Mo, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
It's just that her face is a little pretty, not as good as her aunt said. The figure is not good, and the taste is not good.
Su Mo is wearing the army green cotton jacket today. She has no clothes in winter, so she can only wear two sets of cotton jackets alternately. She is starting to show her weight now, and wearing a cotton jacket, she has no figure at all.
Su Mo saw the disdain in Liu Ping's eyes, and she was completely puzzled.
Where did this lunatic come from? Could it be another one of Lu Changzheng's bad peach blossoms?
"Comrade Lu, this is your wife and mother?" Liu Ping asked.
Before Lu Changzheng could answer, he stretched out his hand to Li Yue'e again: "Auntie, hello, I'm Liu Ping."
Li Yue'e's heart skipped a beat. How did she meet him here? This former blind date looked like he was coming with bad intentions, so Xiao Mo should not misunderstand him.
Seeing Liu Ping still holding out her hand, Li Yue'e took a hat and put it in her hand, "Do you want this hat?"
This woman looked like she was not a good person, not at all real. Fortunately, I didn't go to see her at that time.
In this winter, she was wearing a woolen coat, and she didn't feel cold. If she got rheumatism from freezing, it would be painful for her when she was old.
Liu Ping's mouth twitched, she put the hat back, took back her hand, and curled her lips maliciously: "Auntie, I am Liu Guangying's niece, and I had an appointment with Comrade Lu Changzheng. It's a pity that my luck was a bit bad, and someone intercepted us halfway, otherwise, we might have become a family."
As soon as Liu Ping said this, the surroundings were silent, and many people began to prick up their ears. Lu Changzheng and Luo Yuan's faces also darkened instantly.
