Chapter 51 Wedding Photos
"Okay." Xu Yao paused, "But my clothes aren't very new. I'll take you to my closet to choose."
There aren't many choices actually.
There were only three sets of clothes in total, and she was wearing one, so there were only two choices left.
The two women were choosing clothes with great interest.
At this time, Xu Jiaan, who had just been put on the bed not long ago, woke up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stepped on his little Liberation shoes and got off the bed, hugging Xu Yao's thighs.
"You're so clingy." Xu Yao hugged him and walked out of the room, closing the door to make it convenient for Sun Daying to change clothes.
All the valuable things in the house are locked in another cabinet, so there is no need to worry about the other party doing something dirty.
Ji Changyu looked at the affectionate mother and son with a dazed look on his face.
He has been in the army for many years, wearing military uniform most of the time, and doesn't care much about his clothes.
I just heard the conversation between the two women and then I noticed that Xu Yao had been wearing old clothes. I felt a little depressed. "Do you like the cloth I brought you last time? Why didn't I see you making clothes?"
"I don't know how to make clothes. I have to wait until my mother is free. Anyway, there's no rush to wear them."
Having lived in a leaky thatched hut before, Xu Yao no longer had much requirements for what to wear. The material of her original clothes had been worn down to be relatively soft, so she could make do with it.
Ji Changyu's thick eyelashes drooped slightly and his gaze turned to Xu Jiaan.
The clothes looked brand new. It was a hot day, and he was wearing long sleeves and long pants rolled up to his arms and thighs, and a pair of green Liberation shoes on his feet.
There are family members accompanying the troops in the army. When the weather is hot, most of the other children wear small sandals, and some who like to be clean wear small white shoes. They rarely wear such Liberation shoes.
But he had no right to blame or doubt Xu Yao. Xu Yao had already given her best to Xu Jiaan. It was he who was not doing a good enough job as a husband and father.
Ji Changyu bent his long legs, looking at Xu Yao and Xu Jiaan at eye level, and his tone was so calm that one couldn't hear the emotions surging in his heart.
"Would you like to go to the department store?"
No woman can resist the temptation of shopping.
Liu Mei was waiting with Sun Daying at home. Ji Changyu pushed Xu Weidong's bicycle, held Xu Jiaan under his arm and threw him onto the horizontal bar.
The child's body was stiff, and he hesitated for a long time before he stopped struggling to get off. Xu Yao jumped into the back seat, and the family of three went to the department store.
The department store in the county town is much larger than the one in the town. The first floor sells daily necessities and the second floor sells luxury goods.
On the left hand side of the door is women's clothing. Xu Yao immediately fell in love with a pink square-necked long skirt. The skirt was pleated at the hem and had a good drape. It looked generous and classy.
However, Ji Changyu had already given her a piece of pink cloth, so if she bought it, the colors would clash. She was just about to ask the salesperson to take down the bright red polka-dot skirt next to it so she could have a look.
"Comrade, can you take that pink skirt off and have a look at it?" Ji Changyu had been paying attention to Xu Yao's gaze. Seeing her eyes shining as she looked at the pink skirt, he guessed that she liked it.
Xu Yao waved her hand, "No, don't we have pink cloth at home? Why don't we buy another color?"
When the salesperson saw the Longines watch on Ji Changyu's wrist, his smile became more genuine.
"We can't make this style ourselves, and the materials are different. If you marry such a beautiful young wife, you must dress her up well. No matter how many skirts you have, it's not too much."
"I want this one." Ji Changyu made the final decision, "You have fair skin, and this skirt will definitely look good if it shows your collarbone."
Seeing Xu Yao's surprised face, the man smiled and said, "Yanyu loves beauty. After meeting you, go back and tell me what kind of clothes are suitable for you."
Xu Yao understood, and took off the red polka-dot skirt. She also bought a pair of black leather wedge-heeled shoes and a pair of white sandals.
Next to the women's clothing store was children's clothing. She asked the salesperson to get two short-sleeved shirts, matched them with shorts of the same color, and tried them on Xu Jiaan.
"Do you like it, An'an?"
Xu Jiaan nodded, and the hair on his head swayed slightly with the movement.
"I like everything my mother buys."
Such a sweet mouth!
Xu Yao pinched her son's little face, picked out two pairs of sandals and two pairs of children's shorts, and asked the salesperson to pack them together.
Next is the men's clothing store.
Ji Changyu said that he didn't need to buy a military uniform, but Xu YaoXP was not satisfied yet and didn't listen at all. He went up and took a set of white shirt and black trousers.
Ji Changyu felt very relieved when he took out the money.
Apart from his biological mother, the first person to buy him clothes was his wife.
After going up to the second floor, Ji Changyu stopped at a watch shop and asked Xu Yao to choose one.
There is no wall clock at home, and it is really inconvenient to have no watch. Xu Yao looked at him teasingly, "Didn't you give me all your money? Then I have to pay for it myself after I choose. We don't have watch tickets yet."
The three of them spent one or two hundred yuan to buy a few sets of clothes. Xu Yao was wondering where he got so much money. Of course, she wouldn’t mind if Ji Changyu kept some private money, after all, that was his own money, right?
Ji Changyu smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't hide the money. It was given by our mother. My father died while doing an experiment, and the higher-ups gave him a pension, which mother has been keeping for us as gifts and dowries."
Xu Yao immediately felt that this money was a bit hot to handle, and was about to say that they should use their own small treasury to buy it, but Ji Changyu lowered his head and started picking it up.
"Don't think too much. For the sake of his ideals, he was willing to make all sacrifices. It is an honor to die."
She felt a slight shock in her heart.
The watches of this era are still very beautiful. Xu Yao took a fancy to an Omega De Ville series pink dial
A watch cost more than four hundred yuan. When Xu Yao saw Ji Changyu counting out a stack of big unity bills and handing them to the salesperson, she felt painful and sad. In the past, she always swiped her card when shopping. The balance on the card was just a string of numbers, and she didn't even lift her eyelids when swiping it.
Fortunately, wealthy people like to collect this kind of old-fashioned luxury watches. If they are well maintained, they can be sold for tens or even millions after forty years.
After buying the watch, when Ji Changyu asked her to choose a bicycle, Xu Yao quickly refused, "You gave me all the money you saved, and today I asked you to spend a lot of money. Auntie won't have any objections, right? Besides, don't we have a car at home?"
Ji Changyu stared at her, chuckled softly, and couldn't help but squeeze Xu Yao's hand, "I didn't realize you were so virtuous. The money is ours if you give it to us. Since you can't use it for the time being, don't buy anything. The remaining money and the bicycle ticket are with you."
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in wealthy families is difficult, especially for the daughter-in-law who marries into a wealthy family. With her status, she is definitely marrying into a wealthy family if she marries into the Ji family.
Ji's mother was knowledgeable and tactful, and Xu Yao was not a stingy person. She asked Ji Changyu's family about their preferences and bought gifts for Ji's mother and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law with her own money.
After buying things, it was almost time to go back. There was a soda sold in the street grocery store. Xu Yao saw Xu Jiaan staring at the foam box, so he stopped and bought three bottles of soda of different flavors, and drank them while standing in the store. After finishing the soda bottles, he had to return them.
The color of the cola flavor is no different from the carbonated drinks of later generations. Xu Yao almost vomited after taking a sip.
This is not Coke, it's Chinese medicine.
Ji Changyu glanced at her furrowed brows and took out his bottle to exchange with hers.
Halfway through the drink, Xu Jiaan used his half bottle of lime-flavored soda to alternate with Xu Yao's lychee-flavored soda. Xu Yao smiled and asked him which flavor tasted better.
Xu Jiaan's eyes sparkled and he licked his lips, "They're all delicious."
He wanted to drink another bottle, but thinking that his stomach would hurt if he drank any more, Xu Jiaan frowned and didn't say anything in the end.
On the way back, a young couple came out of the photo studio in an intimate posture. Xu Yao stopped and had an idea in her mind.
