Xinhua Bookstore.
Song Ning and Huo Beian went inside, and Song Ning asked, "Boss, do you have any newly released comic books recently?"
"Yes, there is. A new book called 'Calabash Brothers vs. Transformers' was recently released and it's very popular. If you want to buy it, you'd better hurry, or it will be sold out."
"Then I'll buy one."
Just as Song Ning was about to take out her money to buy them, Huo Beian stopped her, saying, "Wife, I'll do it. I'll buy two."
Huo Beian paid the money and handed the book to Song Ning.
The two sat down and began to read the comic book.
"Honey, I have to say, your drawing is amazing! How did you come up with the story of the seven Calabash Brothers and Transformers? It's so interesting!"
"Hehe. I dreamed about it too."
Song Ning looked at the comic book; the printing quality was quite good.
It's a pity that, due to the scarcity of resources in that era, this comic book was printed in black and white, but that didn't affect its readability.
It would be even more stunning if it were in color.
Song Ning sat there, watching people come in and buy the "Calabash Brothers vs. Transformers" comic book on the counter.
In just a short time, nearly 100 copies have been bought, and some people bought 10 copies at a time.
"Mom, all my classmates have been reading a comic book called 'Calabash Brothers vs. Transformers' lately. Can you buy me a copy too?"
Hearing that familiar voice, it sounded like Zhang Damao's voice.
Song Ning looked up and saw that it was indeed Li Xiaoyue who had brought Zhang Damao to buy books.
So Li Xiaoyue asked, "Salesperson, do you still have 'Calabash Brothers vs. Transformers'?"
"Sorry, we've just sold out."
Zhang Damao became unhappy upon hearing this, "Mom, I want one! Everyone in my class has one, I want one too. Waaah..."
After she finished speaking, she was about to cry.
Li Xiaoyue was a little anxious, "Son, even if we sell out, Mom won't be able to get you any more."
Upon hearing this, Song Ning immediately stood up and handed her the comic book she was holding.
"Da Mao, Auntie has a book here, you can have it."
"Really? Thank you, Auntie."
Zhang Damao quickly took it, delighted with it.
Li Xiaoyue quickly took out her money, "Thank you, Song Ning, here's the money."
"No need, just consider it a gift from me to Da Mao."
"I can't accept that, but thank you anyway, Song Ning."
Huo Beian stood up at that moment, "Sister Xiaoyue, don't be so polite. I have another copy here, you can have it if you want."
"this……"
Li Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, if I want to see it, my wife can draw it."
Huo Beian said with a smile.
"What? Could this comic book be drawn by Song Ning?"
Li Xiaoyue's mouth dropped open in surprise.
After all, she knew that Song Ning could draw. Last time, it was thanks to Song Ning's guidance that Zhang Damao won an award in the school's painting competition.
I really didn't expect Song Ning to be so skilled, able to draw such beautiful and engaging comic books.
"Yes, sis. But you have to keep it a secret for me, okay? I don't want too many people to know."
Song Ning pursed her lips slightly.
"Why wouldn't you want anyone to know? This is such a good thing."
"My wife is afraid that if too many people find out, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
Huo Beian added.
Li Xiaoyue had no choice but to nod, "Alright then."
After leaving Xinhua Bookstore, Huo Beian took Song Ning to the department store.
Department stores in that era were relatively poor in terms of supplies, and the styles of clothing they offered were all in line with the aesthetics of that time.
However, some of the clothes are still nice.
Song Ning picked out a few items and tried them on. Every time she tried one on and walked out of the fitting room, Huo Beian was amazed by how beautiful she looked.
"Wife, you look beautiful. This dress is lovely."
"Honey, this one looks good too,"
"Wife, I'll take this one..."
In the end, they selected three pieces of clothing, all of which were paid for by Huo Beian.
Song Ning felt a little embarrassed, and she also picked out two outfits for Huo Beian: a Zhongshan suit and a shirt.
"I'll pay this time."
Song Ning insisted on paying the bill.
Huo Beian was still a little uncomfortable. "Wife, how can I let you pay?"
"Consider it a gift from me. After all, I haven't given you a gift since we got married."
"Yes, my wife is so good."
The two walked hand in hand down the street.
"Honey, are you hungry? Let's go to a restaurant to eat."
The two went to a state-run restaurant.
The two had just sat down, ordered a few dishes, and were about to eat when they looked around and, quite by chance, something happened.
They unexpectedly ran into Huo Bei'an's younger brother, Huo Nanquan.
He and a girl were at a table not far from them.
Huo Nanquan attends Lancheng University, which is a boarding school.
He came out for a stroll today because it's the weekend.
"I'll go over and say hello to my second brother."
Huo Beian was about to go up and say hello, but Song Ning stopped him.
"Don't go yet. Look."
Huo Beian followed Song Ning's gaze and then discovered that the girl eating at the same table as Huo Nanquan was sweetly feeding him.
She picked up a peanut and put it in Huo Nanquan's mouth. Huo Nanquan ate it and then playfully wiggled the girl's bottom.
Anyone can tell from this that these two are a couple.
But Huo Nanquan was already married; his wife, Wang Xiaofang, was pregnant and living in their hometown.
Upon seeing this, Huo Beian's dark eyes darkened, and his fists clenched tightly.
