The two of them asked questions along the way as they walked towards that direction.
Passing by a clothing store on the road, Song Shuqian was attracted by it at first sight.
There are several winter clothes, cotton jackets and fur coats in the store. Wei Jianguo took a fancy to a red cotton-padded jacket. The bright red color had big flowers on it, which looked very festive. He thought it was especially suitable for Song Shuxi. When she wore it, she would definitely be the most beautiful young wife in the entire compound.
Song Shuxi...thank you so much, but no need, ugly refusal.
She rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Song Shuqian felt that Wei Jianguo had spent all his life's aesthetic taste on marrying a wife.
She fell in love with a coat that was dark blue on the outside and lynx fur on the inside. It was very long, reaching her calves.
It looks very warm and low-key. If you don’t know, you would think it is an ordinary cotton jacket.
The waistline of this coat is also designed so it doesn't look bulky when worn.
Wei Jianguo usually wore military uniform, so we chose two pairs of thick cotton trousers and two fox fur vests for him. The cotton trousers pay great attention to details and are thickened at the knees and waist.
I also bought two Lei Feng hats and two pairs of gloves for them to wear when they go out.
When leaving, Song Shuqian saw a pair of horsehair boots in the corner. They were pure white and very rare, so she took them down without hesitation.
"Auntie, do you have wool socks at home?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you," the shop owner was very enthusiastic towards the two big customers.
The socks are only available in black and gray, and are woven very tightly so they won’t prick your feet. Song Shuxi bought 10 pairs for Wei Jianguo.
After paying, the two left the shop contentedly.
After going out, Song Shuxi was very happy, "With these, I won't be afraid of the cold in winter. I originally wanted to go back and make a big cotton-padded jacket, but I couldn't buy good cotton. Now I can."
Song Shuqian was particularly satisfied that she could buy such a suitable thing with just a little money.
Wei Jianguo looked at the things in his hand, which were half a year's salary.
He decided that he was destined to be a gigolo in this family. In that case, just eat openly.
It was a little late when they both got together and everyone was getting ready to get off work.
"Can we still order food now?" Wei Jianguo asked.
"Can"
"I want a pound of dumplings with three fresh fillings, a pound of dumplings with sauerkraut filling, a portion of braised fish, a portion of blood sausage stewed with sauerkraut, and a plate of dried tofu with hot peppers." Wei Jianguo has gotten used to ordering more and then packing it up and putting it in his wife's treasure gourd.
You never know when you'll need it when you don't feel like cooking.
Song Shuqian likes to eat three-fresh dumplings very much. "The shrimp in the filling is especially delicious. There is shrimp in every dumpling. I really don't want to waste it."
Wei Jianguo helped her remove the fish bones and said, "Eat some fish too. I heard that eating more fish will make your children smarter."
"Then I will definitely eat more fish when I go back."
Wei Jianguo particularly likes to eat blood sausage. He dips it in a little mashed garlic and feels particularly satisfied after taking a bite.
"Wife, I'll go brush my teeth in a bit," Wei Jianguo said, feeling a little guilty as he couldn't help but take two bites.
Song Shuqian rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I had known you liked to eat these, I would have pickled garlic eggplant for you at home. As a couple living together, just eat them if you like. Don't force yourself. Just clean up after you're done."
Wei Jianguo was so happy that his teeth popped out.
I ate with big mouthfuls, one bite of sauerkraut and another of blood sausage, feeling extremely satisfied.
After the meal, the two packed up the leftovers, which were all prepared for Wei Jianguo.
When we came out of Laodu, it was already completely dark, so dark that we couldn't see our hand in front of us. Wei Jianguo held Song Shuqian's hand with one hand and held a flashlight in the other, and the two walked slowly towards the hotel.
"The stars are so bright today," Song Shuqian took a breath of the cool air and looked up at the stars.
"The stars here are not the most beautiful. If I have the chance, I will take you to the grassland to ride a horse and watch the stars. The stars there are very bright, and it seems like they can talk." Wei Jianguo told her about the stars he saw in different places.
Back in the room, Song Shuxi took out the things she bought today, examined them carefully, and checked to make sure there were no problems so they could be sent back tomorrow.
The two of them agreed to put some valuables into the magic gourd and send the rest back, so that they would have supplies in the future.
In a blink of an eye, they have been here for 4 days. After one more day of sightseeing tomorrow, they will have to leave for the capital.
Trains are really slow these days and all their time is spent on the road.
Considering that Song Shuqian is a pregnant woman, the schedule is very loose and she can basically rest at any time.
"Honey, I want to take a hot bath." Since Song Shuxi came here, she has been taking a bath every day. It can be seen that she likes this bathtub very much.
Wei Jianguo initially disagreed, fearing that she would slip.
Now I'm used to it. I give a few instructions as usual and then go to guard the door.
At night, the couple lay in bed and planned tomorrow's itinerary. Supplies are in short supply nowadays and the service agency’s supply is also limited. Every time they go out, they have to buy more things to bring back. Even if you want to eat it in the future, you may not be able to buy it.
"I really like the wine-filled candy I bought last time. Let's take some back and eat them slowly." This was the only thing Song Shuxi could think of.
Wei Jianguo planned to buy some on the black market. They didn't have many sugar coupons left and they would need them when they got to the capital. "Let's buy some red sausage and blood sausage. They're both delicious."
"Okay, I heard from the lady downstairs that the frozen pears here are especially delicious, let's buy some." Song Shuxi didn't know that frozen pears are frozen pears.
"Okay, I'll go to the black market and buy all of these tomorrow. I'll also buy you some blueberries and raspberries. You like them very much."
"Buy more, I like it."
Wei Jianguo always agreed to all of Song Shuqian's requests.
Thinking of black bread, Song Shuxi asked, "Would you like to bring some black bread?"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
Wei Jianguo directly rejected it, "Forget it, this is not delicious, big white steamed buns are the best staple food."
"Speaking of cakes, let's go to Lao Ding Feng tomorrow. It is said that their cakes are the best. Let's try them. If you like them, you can buy them on the black market. I feel sorry for the money I paid."
In this era, money alone is not enough, you also need tickets. Without tickets, you can't take a single step.
Those issued by the troops are simply not enough.
After we agreed, we went to the hotel early the next morning to have breakfast which didn't require a ticket.
Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, eggs, tofu pudding and corn porridge.
It’s a bit simple, but it’s nice to be able to eat this in this day and age.
After dinner, I strolled to Lao Dingfeng and could smell the sweet aroma from afar.
Lao Dingfeng is an old store that started its business in 1911. Its status in Harbin is equivalent to Daohua Village in the old city.
When Song Shuqian came in, she saw several cakes on the glass counter, and the fragrance came from there.
"Hello, do you need a ticket to buy cakes?"
Song Shuqian thought it would be better to ask clearly first.
The saleswoman was a lady in her forties. “It’s cheaper if you have a ticket, and more expensive if you don’t have a ticket.”
"I want five catties of peach cakes, five catties of glutinous rice sticks, six catties of glutinous rice sticks, four catties of tongue cakes, five catties of shaqi ma, and six catties of bite-sized cakes. At the price without tickets," Song Shuxi wanted to buy more things to stockpile.
When the salesperson heard that it was a large order, he hurriedly greeted the customers and started packing the goods.
She also recommended, "Do you like mooncakes? Our mooncakes are delicious. We have five-nut ones, jujube paste ones, and green and red silk ones."
Song Shuqian had never tried it before, so she asked, "Which one is the best-selling one?"
The salesperson cut a small piece of each flavor and said, "You can try it."
Song Shuqian didn't like the taste very much and didn't want it.
