Jiang Yule spent a long time in the state-owned store but found nothing. Zhou Jiashu and Zhou Jialin could not persuade Jiang Yule and had to obey her and leave the state-owned department store.
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the state-owned department store and had not yet walked down the stairs, Jiang Yule heard a voice behind her calling her
"Comrade, lesbian, please stay." Jiang Yule turned around subconsciously and saw a woman jogging out of the department store. Jiang Yule looked around and it seemed that she was the only one who could be called a lesbian, so he asked, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, yes, yes," the elder sister responded panting. She wanted to say something, but when she saw the two imposing men beside her, she had many concerns for a moment. After all, there was some suspicion of speculation. She didn't dare to say anything in front of so many people.
"What can I do for you?" Seeing that she was hesitant for a long time, Jiang Yule took the initiative to ask.
"Do you mind if I don't say anything?" The elder sister said as she looked at the two men beside Jiang Yule. Jiang Yule followed her gaze and looked at Zhou Jialin and Zhou Jiashu, who were immediately on high alert.
"Don't worry, comrade. I work in this state-owned store. When you were looking at the pink material just now, I was at the counter next door." The eldest sister felt the guarded gaze of the Zhou brothers and was afraid that they would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained.
"Yeah, I remember." Jiang Yule nodded. It wasn't that she had a good memory, but just now in front of the counter, the older sister kept staring at her, and she couldn't help but notice her. Seeing her chasing out so anxiously, she must have something wrong, so she said to Zhou Jialin and Zhou Jiashu beside her, "Brother Jiashu, wait for me, she is the salesperson here, I just saw her, she will be fine."
Zhou Jiashu looked at the female comrade, and when he looked at Jiang Yule, he put on a gentle and elegant look again and said, "Then don't go far, we are here, call me if you have any problems."
"Okay," Jiang Yule responded, signaling the elder sister to lead the way
"Hurry up!" Zhou Jialin shouted at Jiang Yule's back.
"What do you think she wants to do with Yule?" Zhou Jialin asked in confusion, looking at the two people's backs. What is there to talk about when they meet for the first time?
"I don't know. I'll just ask Yule later." Zhou Jiashu shook his head and stared at Jiang Yule's back.
"Big sister, if you have anything to say, just tell me." The big sister brought Jiang Yule to a corner outside the state-owned department store and stood there. Jiang Yule was the first to ask
"Yes... it's like this, my son is getting married soon, and the woman wants a watch, and it has to be the latest model of Shanghai brand. I see your watch looks very new, I wonder if I can take a look at it, it's okay if you don't want to." The older sister felt more and more sorry as she spoke. The watch is such an expensive thing, and she wanted to see it right away when they met for the first time. It was really rash.
Jiang Yule raised an eyebrow when he heard this. He didn't expect this to be the reason. He didn't know if the woman was deliberately making things difficult for him or not. In this era, shipping goods between the north and the south is troublesome. She wants Shanghai brand and the latest model. I'm afraid that as soon as the new model arrives in this small town, there will be new models in Shanghai...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yule lowered her eyes to look at the watch on her hand. This watch was a Rolex watch she got from the space. Now it was only sold in foreign exchange stores, so Jiang Yule was not afraid of her seeing it. She raised her wrist in front of her elder sister, and while she was looking at the watch, she continued, "This watch is indeed rare, but it is not a Shanghai brand."
Seeing the letters on the watch that she couldn't understand, the elder sister was a little disappointed for a moment. This woman was well-dressed, and she was mentally prepared for the value of the watch, but when she actually saw it, she really felt hopeless.
"You... your watch is very expensive, right? Let me see the sparkling diamonds on it?" As he spoke, his hand unconsciously covered his pocket where he kept his money.
"Yes, I bought it at a foreign exchange store. You stopped me because you wanted to exchange it for my watch?" Jiang Yule whispered, his words were very obscure.
"Yes... I have this plan, but I'm just asking, I can't force you to do it, and I can't afford your watch..." The elder sister said nervously, and when she thought about the failure of the plan, she instantly put on a gloomy look.
"Big sister, I do have a ladies' watch here, which was given to me by my brothers. I can't carry so many, so I originally planned to send them back home. If you are interested, you can take a look." Jiang Yule said, reaching into the bag, and taking out a watch with a leather strap under the cover of the bag. It was small and exquisite, and it was exactly the Shanghai brand that the big sister wanted. But as to whether it was the latest model, Jiang Yule didn't know.
Just like that, Jiang Yule watched his elder sister's eyes, which were originally full of loss, gradually brighten up. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how pitiful are the parents in the world. I'm afraid that for her son and for this watch, she has been worried for who knows how long.
"Can I...can I take a look at it?" the elder sister asked cautiously.
Jiang Yule nodded and handed the watch in his hand to her. Since the place was so small and he couldn't run away, he could just take a look.
Seeing Jiang Yule nodded, the eldest sister took a closer look at the watch with trembling hands. It was indeed a Shanghai brand, brand new without any scratches. Moreover, she had never seen this style of watch here. At least it was not the newest one, but the second newest one!
"Girl, this watch...are you selling it?" The elder sister said, looking around cautiously, afraid of being heard.
"What price can you offer?" Jiang Yule asked, not to test the other party's bottom line, but really didn't know how much a watch of this era costs...
Seeing Jiang Yule asking this, the elder sister didn't hide anything and said frankly, "Now a Shanghai watch in a state-owned department store costs 200 yuan, and you need a ticket. I'll give you 220 yuan, plus a ticket, okay?"
"Okay, as you say." Jiang Yule lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Her house in Beijing was only sold for 800 yuan, and a watch was 220 yuan, which was about right.
"Then... I'll get you the money." Seeing Jiang Yule nod, the elder sister excitedly took out money and tickets from her pocket. This watch was very popular. During this period, she was afraid that the state-owned department store would not be able to keep it, so she kept the money and tickets with her, just for this moment.
Jiang Yule took the money and counted it, then handed the watch and the velvet bag to the elder sister, "Please check it carefully."
"Oh, OK, OK." The elder sister held the watch and checked it carefully. After confirming that everything was normal, she looked at Jiang Yule gratefully, "Comrade, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my son's marriage would probably be in jeopardy."
"You are exaggerating." Jiang Yule smiled and did not comment on her elder sister's words. Could it be that they broke up because of a watch? But just as she was thinking about it, she heard her elder sister continue to say, "Comrade, I am not afraid of you laughing at me. That girl is a primary school teacher in the town. Her eyes are on the top of her head. She rarely smiles when she sees us old couple. But my son must have her. If it weren't for this watch, it would be hard to say what happened to them."
"They are all external things, or feelings are more important"
"Well, let them be. The child is grown up and we can't control him anymore." The elder sister shook her head slightly. Thinking of her son's attitude, she was somewhat disappointed. Following the direction behind Jiang Yule, the elder sister looked at the gay man who seemed to be with her just now.
