Her eyes lit up, and that was exactly what she meant.
The two took a bus to the county town.
The bus was shaking. She and Lu Siyi sat side by side, their fingers intertwined, making her feel like she was in love with Lu Siyi.
In a daze, Lin Qingyue fell asleep leaning on Lu Siyi's shoulder.
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Lu Siyi slightly raised the corners of his lips, and quickly regained his composure. He looked at the scenery outside the window and ran back quickly, his heart filled with incomparable peace.
As soon as the train arrived at the station, Lin Qingyue woke up immediately: "I'm sorry, I got up too early this morning."
"Well, you don't have to get up so early next time, but you don't have to apologize for this." Lu Siyi spoke softly, and he began to be considerate of his wife.
"……good."
The two of them first went to the wholesale market in the county town. There was a lot of traffic here, and there was a large square in the middle. On the square, people came and went on small tricycles to purchase goods or trade.
Some are vegetables grown by themselves, some are pork slaughtered by themselves, and some are poultry. In a corner of the square, there are several department store stalls with all kinds of daily necessities neatly placed on the ground.
"These people can't afford to rent a shop, and there's no one in charge of this square, so they come here to set up stalls." Lu Siyi saw that she was looking at it curiously, and thought that before she got married, she was a carefree young lady, so she should rarely see these things.
Lin Qingyue seemed to have discovered something. She stopped and looked for a while. She asked, "Are these people all small businesses?"
"Yeah." Lu Siyi hummed softly.
In this era, people were not widely allowed to do small business, and people's minds were not open yet. This behavior was called speculation.
Although it is not widely advocated, it has not been stopped either. The policy has been relaxed recently, and perhaps one day it will be completely opened up to allow everyone to start their own businesses.
"There are many shops inside. Can I take you to have a look?" Lu Siyi took Lin Qingyue's hand and walked inside.
Passing by those small stalls, Lin Qingyue also had the idea of setting up a stall.
She has limited money now, and setting up a stall is the fastest way to make money back, and it is also flexible enough.
The inside of the wholesale market is very different from a modern department store. It is like a long corridor with small shops connected on both sides.
There are five or six such corridors.
People can buy everything they need for food, clothing and daily necessities here.
Lu Siyi took Lin Qingyue to a women's clothing store. He passed by the door and fell in love with a red polka dot skirt at first sight. He said to the proprietress: "This skirt, take one according to her size."
"Okay, your wife is fair-skinned, and she will look good in red." The lady boss said warmly as she took the goods, "This style is popular in Hong Kong. It's made of nylon, which is light and cool. It's very fashionable to wear."
Nylon is just chiffon, right?
This kind of fabric was popular for a long time because it was light, breathable, and did not deform easily after washing. Women of that era loved this kind of fabric very much.
"How much is one?" Lin Qingyue asked softly.
"Ten dollars a piece!"
"It's too expensive. I won't try it." Lin Qingyue gave a polite smile. Ten dollars was enough to buy food for their family for several days.
"Eight dollars! How about eight dollars?" the proprietress shouted.
Lin Qingyue ignored him. Eight dollars was a huge amount of money. She was not one to spend lavishly, so she had to spend the remaining money carefully.
