The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and weighed out two kilograms of sugar to save for their wedding. They also bought an enamel washbasin. When Ye Qing saw the shoes on the counter, he remembered that the shoes he had made for Xiang Changlin were already finished.
"I made you a pair of cloth shoes. When you return to the guesthouse later, you can take them back with you. Remember to remind me. I'm afraid I'll forget again."
"good."
Hearing that she had made shoes for him with her own hands, Xiang Changlin felt so happy that he could also wear the shoes made by his wife.
"Qingqing, that red coat suits you!"
When Xiang Changlin turned around, he saw the red short-sleeved Dacron shirt hanging in the garment area.
Ye Qing looked in the direction he was looking and thought it was quite nice, especially since it was a festive red piece to wear at a wedding.
Seeing that she liked it, Xiang Changlin took her to the counter to ask the price.
"Comrade, how much is this red one?"
"This is Dacron. It costs twelve dollars and comes with a three-foot cloth coupon."
Xiang Changlin looked down at Ye Qing and asked, "Qingqing, do you think this size is suitable for you?"
When Ye Qing heard the price, he pulled his wrist and whispered, "Changlin, don't buy it yet. Go buy some red cloth and make it yourself later."
It’s too expensive, almost as much as half a month’s salary for her. Besides, she doesn’t wear the red one on a regular basis, so it would be a waste to buy it.
Xiang Changlin chuckled, "It's okay, our marriage is a big deal, if you like it we can buy it, you don't have to worry about the money."
Although it is quite expensive, he can still buy it if he grits his teeth.
"No, no, let's go, I'm hungry."
Ye Qing wouldn't let him buy it no matter what. Their living standard was not that high now and it was not a necessity. There was cloth in the space, so they could just find a piece of red and make one for themselves.
Xiang Changlin was dragged out of the supply and marketing cooperative by her, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Qingqing, when we get married, I can't afford to give you anything good, but I can still afford to buy you a piece of clothing."
This was the only marriage they would get together in their lifetime, and he wanted to do his best to give him the best.
"I know, but I don't usually wear red clothes. It would be a pity to buy such an expensive dress and only wear it once for the wedding. I'll ask my little sister to ask her mother if I can buy some fabric through the back door. The dress will be new and cheaper."
Xiang Changlin touched her head helplessly, "Okay, didn't you say you were hungry? Let's go eat first. What do you want to eat?"
"How about going to eat beef noodles? I heard from my younger sister that the beef noodles at the state-owned restaurant are delicious, but I've never been there."
I can’t bear to buy new clothes, but I can bear to eat a bowl of noodles.
Since she had said it, how could Xiang Changlin refuse? "Okay, let's eat beef noodles."
The two went to a state-owned restaurant and ordered two bowls of beef noodles.
"Wait here, I'm going to the bathroom."
He nodded to Changlin, "Okay."
After Ye Qing left, Xiang Changlin looked at the people eating in the restaurant with boredom. Two young men who looked about his age caught his attention. There were four dishes on the table. No one knew what they were talking about. The one with longer hair was eating peanuts and laughing like a fool.
Just as Xiang Changlin was about to look away, he noticed that his expression suddenly changed.
"Zhou Ming, what's wrong with you!"
His companion sitting opposite him also apparently noticed that something was wrong with him.
Xiang Changlin saw that he was pinching his neck with both hands and didn't do anything. He wanted to get up and walked over quickly, then recalled the first aid method Ye Qing taught him that day and started to save people.
After pushing back and forth several times, he finally squeezed the peanuts out of Zhou Ming's throat.
Zhou Ming gasped for breath, it felt so good to have survived a disaster!
"Zhou Ming, how are you?"
Sun Hongxing looked at him anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
Zhou Ming curled his lips and said, "It's okay. I survived a disaster." After that, he looked at Xiang Changlin with gratitude and wanted to shake hands with him. "Comrade, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have died."
Thinking of the suffocating feeling just now, I really don’t dare to think about it.
Xiang Changlin shook his hand back and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
I didn't expect that I would be able to use it shortly after learning it. I felt quite honored to have successfully saved a life.
"You just saved my life with a little effort. It's so embarrassing that a grown man like you could get choked by eating peanuts."
Think about it, I have lived for twenty years, I am still young and have plenty of good days ahead of me, but it would be quite depressing if I died from a tiny peanut.
Xiang Changlin was also amused by him, "You should be more careful in the future, accidents always happen inadvertently."
Zhou Ming nodded in agreement, "Comrade, what's your name?"
"To Changlin."
"My name is Zhou Ming, and I'm famous for my fame. Comrade Xiang, which unit are you from? I want to write you a thank-you letter!"
Nowadays, when someone does good things, the other party will usually write a thank-you letter and send it to that person's unit to express gratitude. The unit will also generally commend the person who does good things.
Xiang Changlin smiled and said, "No need, I'm from the countryside, I farm, I don't have a job."
"Is that so? Then I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
Someone saved my life, so I have to show my appreciation no matter what.
"No, I came here with my partner, and we've already ordered."
"Your partner?"
As he was speaking, Ye Qing walked towards them, "Changlin, what happened?"
"Comrade Zhou was stuck just now, and I gave him first aid using the method you taught me."
"Really?"
Ye Qing didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Fortunately, he taught him on a whim at that time, otherwise he could only watch helplessly today.
"I know you!"
Zhou Ming pointed at Ye Qing and shouted.
"Do you know me?"
Ye Qing was quite surprised by his words, as he had no impression of him.
"Are you a waiter at the County Party Committee Guesthouse?"
Ye Qing nodded, "Yes, but I don't think I've seen you before."
Zhou Ming smiled and said, "We checked in this morning. You must have been too busy to notice us."
"I see, that's quite a coincidence."
"Meeting is fate. Comrade Xiang saved me. Let's have a meal together. Let me express my gratitude."
Ye Qing did not agree to him but turned to look at Xiang Changlin again. After all, he was the one who saved the person, so it was up to him whether to accept it or not.
"Comrade, the two bowls of beef noodles you ordered are ready."
At this time, the beef noodles came out of the pot, and the waiter called to Ye Qing and the others. Seeing this, Zhou Ming walked over and brought the noodles to their table.
Then he said in a very familiar way: "Let's eat together. I'll order a few more dishes. Let's make friends!"
Since he said so, Xiang Changlin couldn't refuse and could only take Ye Qing to sit at their table.
Zhou Ming ordered two vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes before sitting back down.
Ye Qing grabbed a handful of candy from the enamel basin and gave them each a handful. "We are getting our marriage certificate today. This is wedding candy. You two can also get some of the good luck."
"Really? Congratulations, it's really a coincidence that we two brothers met at that time!"
Zhou Ming didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and Sun Hongxing also congratulated him.
"Thanks."
