At 4:30 in the morning, Wei Jianguo got himself ready and said, "Wife, wake up, it's time to get up."
Song Shuqian was dazed, and she opened her eyes a little, "What time is it?"
"It's half past four."
"Oh, I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep for two more minutes."
Two minutes later
"Wife, it's time to get up," Wei Jianguo picked her up and shook her.
Song Shuqian found a comfortable position, said in a daze, "Sleep for two more minutes", and fell asleep.
Wei Jianguo...
This was the first time Wei Jianguo called his wife to wake up, and he found it very interesting.
But we really can't catch up. If we don't leave now, we will miss the purchasing truck.
He made up his mind and washed Song Shuxi's face with a cold towel.
Now that’s good, I feel refreshed.
Song Shuqian washed up as quickly as possible and finished washing up in 5 minutes. She no longer looked as elegant as usual.
Five minutes later, she stood in front of Wei Jianguo, gasping for breath, "I'm fine, let's go."
Wei Jianguo tried hard to hold back his laughter and discovered another interesting side of his wife.
"Eat something first. I made porridge."
Song Shuxi was very aware of her eating speed. She really couldn't eat faster, so she took Wei Jianguo's hand and said, "Let's go."
When they came over, the purchasing vehicle driver had just arrived.
"Hello, Captain Wei, hello sister-in-law, I am Xiao Hou." The driver was a very smart little soldier, very talkative, and had a dimple when he smiled.
The time was just right for a few people to finish their greetings.
Song Shuxi looked at her two sisters-in-law who were traveling with her and climbed onto the truck bed nimbly, then looked at herself and realized that she couldn't get up there.
Wei Jianguo raised his hand and grabbed Song Shuxi's armpit, lifted her up, and followed him up.
The two sisters-in-law were a little surprised to see Wei Jianguo. They usually assumed that family members were in the bed of the car and the soldiers sat in the passenger seat.
He still greeted Wei Jianguo and the others with a smile.
After a few simple words, the car started away.
Song Shuqian's head swayed from side to side, and she forced herself to sit up, resisting the urge to sleep.
A smile flashed in Wei Jianguo's eyes. He helped Song Shuxi to lean on his shoulder and said softly, "Sleep for a while. I'll call you when we're here."
He put his coat on her.
Perhaps because she was too familiar with the situation, Song Shuqian didn't think there was anything wrong and fell asleep.
The car swayed, a bit like the cradle she used to have as a child, and Song Shuqian slept very comfortably.
The two sisters-in-law who were traveling with them were surprised at first, and then envious. Captain Wei was worried about the bumpy ride, so he didn't move at all during the three-hour journey, and Song Shuqian didn't wake up the entire time.
When they were almost there, Wei Jianguo softly woke up Song Shuqian with a gentle expression. Anyone could see that the couple had a very good relationship.
Song Shuxi was in a daze and muttered, "Are we there yet? Let me wake up, two minutes."
Then I closed my eyes and sat for two minutes.
When the two minutes were up, she was full of energy and became the dignified eldest daughter of the Song family again.
The changes before and after are astonishing.
Wei Jianguo carried the person out of the car and asked, "Wife, how did you do it? You can wake up after sitting for two minutes."
"I'm used to it. I didn't get enough sleep before because I had to go to classes and pay respects to my elders, so I could only make up for my sleep in these fragmented times."
Wei Jianguo felt distressed. No wonder his wife slept for so long every day after getting married. She must have lacked sleep when she was a child and had to make up for it slowly.
Song Shuqian didn't know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would have said he was in love.
The two of them ran straight to the state-owned restaurant and caught the tail end of breakfast.
"We only have dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel now," the waitress said impatiently.
Spanish mackerel filling? This was the first time Song Shuqian heard of it.
I ordered two.
After taking a bite, my eyes lit up and said, "It's delicious."
He pushed it forward and said, "You eat it too. It's delicious, especially fresh."
They ordered two bowls of dumpling soup and ate until their stomachs were full.
They came to the city today to buy a camera, and Song Shuxi was also thinking about taking a picture of the leader's calligraphy and hanging it in the main hall.
This is her amulet, and she would be heartbroken if it was damaged in the slightest.
A new department store has opened in the city, a three-story building. It is said to be targeting foreigners in order to earn foreign exchange.
The two went directly to the third floor and headed straight for the camera counter.
The waiter looked at the two people. Their clothes fit them well without any patches. They were very clean and had watches on their hands. They both looked energetic and had rosy complexions. Well, he is a person who is not short of money.
The attitude towards them was very good. "This Seagull camera takes relatively large photos. One roll of film can take 12 photos. It costs 189 yuan and a camera ticket.
This Shanghai brand 203 camera is a film SLR, easy to operate, and more expensive than the previous one, costing 203 yuan plus a camera ticket."
Song Shuqian took it in her hand and felt it, "I want this Shanghai brand camera."
The waiter looked at Wei Jianguo in surprise. He didn't expect that this pretty young wife was the one in charge of the family.
Wei Jianguo nodded and took the money and the ticket, "I want 5 more rolls of film."
Seeing that the two of them spent more than three hundred yuan without blinking an eye, the waiter was extremely envious.
Why are others so rich? Not only is she rich, she's also good-looking.
No matter what she thought in her mind, it did not stop her from collecting the money and issuing the invoice quickly.
After buying the camera, their main task for the day was completed, so they just started strolling around.
This department store has a wide variety of items. Song Shuqian saw an Omega watch that particularly appealed to her taste, but it was too expensive at 665 yuan.
It’s almost two years’ salary for an ordinary worker.
Wei Jianguo knew his wife's financial resources and did not interfere.
Song Shuqian really liked it and she also had a watch ticket, so after hesitating for a moment, she bought it.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
It looks like it's not 665 that's spent, but 6.5.
Although everyone is envious, those who can come here to work are not fools.
Since they dare to spend the money openly, it means that the source of the money can be checked. They are just salespersons, and other things have nothing to do with them.
Afterwards, the two of them strolled to the second floor. Song Shuqian was attracted by the wool. "Your sweater is worn out. I'll knit it for you. What color do you want?"
Wei Jianguo's mouth curled up wildly. He was not particularly happy. His wife thought of him for everything, and he would not be polite to say no.
But he knew that his wife had neither lack of money nor clothes.
I packed up my things in Jinling, and I could open a supply and marketing cooperative with all the stuff from my wife's parents' home.
"It should be gray."
"Okay, I want gray too. Your blue matches the light gray, and mine matches the gray and pink."
With the help and guidance of the waiter, the two bought enough wool to knit two sweaters.
Song Shuqian wanted to buy some more and knit a pair of woolen trousers for Wei Jianguo. "I don't have enough tickets. Go back and see if you can exchange some tickets. I want to knit another pair of woolen trousers for you."
"Okay, I'll ask when I get back."
Seeing that the two were not short of money, the waiter wanted to sell them a good deal, "We have some that don't require a ticket, but they have some flaws and the dyeing is not done well. Do you want them?"
Song Shuqian smiled sweetly, "Yes, yes, thank you for your help," and grabbed a handful of White Rabbit cigarettes and stuffed them into the hands of the waiter without saying a word.
Seeing that she was so understanding, the waiter became more enthusiastic and said, "I'll take you to the warehouse. We have a few blankets that don't require tickets. We can give them to you as well."
Song Shuqian quickly thanked him.
"Sister, these wool yarns are great. How much can I buy at most? My husband is a soldier, and I live in a military compound. Many sisters-in-law want to knit sweaters for their men, but wool yarn is in short supply and hard to buy. I can't find it now, so I want to buy more and share it with them. We are all comrades who have been through life and death together, and I want them to be warm when they are on a mission."
When the waitress heard that the other party was a soldier, her attitude became better. She said that the fact that he could accompany the army showed that his rank was not low, and that he was not short of money showed that his family was well-off.
"I can give you 5 kilograms each," the elder sister gritted her teeth and gave her highest permission.
