Chapter 262 Let's queue up to buy a color TV (1/2)



Jiang Xia looked at Lu Yuanting's mysterious and fully equipped appearance, and was hesitant to speak. In the end, she could only let Lu Yuanting do what he wanted.

It was chilly in the middle of the night, much colder than during the day. Jiang Xia simply put on her coat and gloves, wrapped herself up tightly, and then quietly followed Lu Yuanting out the door.

Maybe it was because Lu Yuanting influenced her. Originally, the two of them were an engaged couple in broad daylight, but now they acted a little sneaky. They held hands and quietly slipped out of the house, even avoiding the patrol personnel in the family compound, and just walked on the street.

There must be few shops open in the middle of the night, and the streets are quiet and dark.

"Lu Yuanting, where are you taking me?" Jiang Xia was led forward by Lu Yuanting, his eyes swept across the buildings on both sides of the street, and finally his sight fell on a sign that said Maternal and Child Health Center. These days, household supplies are not widely available, and people have no idea about them, and it is not easy to buy them.

Generally, it is issued by hand. If you are married, you can get it with your marriage certificate. If you are preparing to get married, you can get it from hospitals, maternal and child health centers, etc. with a marriage application form. If you want to buy it, you may be able to buy it at a pharmacy, but it is not easy to buy. You need a marriage certificate and a letter of introduction, and you have to ask and register.

In short, it's very troublesome.

Jiang Xia said this while subconsciously preparing to pull Lu Yuanting to the Maternal and Child Health Center.

You still have to get some household supplies. Since you're getting married, they will definitely be useful to you.

Lu Yuanting sensed Jiang Xia's movements, grabbed Jiang Xia's hand, and led Jiang Xia in another direction.

"Here." Lu Yuanting said.

Listening to Lu Yuanting's words, Jiang Xia glanced at the place where Lu Yuanting brought her to, with some surprise in her eyes, a department store.

It is now the middle of the night, around one in the morning. The door of the department store is closed, but people have already started to line up outside. Some people are sleeping directly on the floor wrapped in quilts, while others are wearing cotton jackets and dozing off while sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Lu Yuanting led her directly into the queue and queued up with her.

Jiang Xia glanced at the department store, then at the queue, and her brain started to work. She remembered to buy a TV! At this time of year, there was one thing that was in great demand in the department store: TVs.

Basically, the first batch of goods will be sold out as soon as they are released, so many people will line up overnight in advance after knowing the news of the new goods, just to buy the TV, for fear that it will be out of stock if they are too late.

Although the use of tickets has been gradually abolished, televisions are in short supply and rare and precious, so tickets are required to buy them. Individuals cannot get tickets, so they have to be allocated by their work units or buy them from others at a higher price on the black market.

"Buy a TV?" Jiang Xia looked at Lu Yuanting, her eyes lighting up.

"Yeah." Lu Yuanting did not deny it. He glanced at the line in front of him. They arrived early and there were only a few people in front of them. The department store was not open and the line could not move. So he simply hugged Jiang Xia and sat cross-legged on the ground.

When Lu Huanting went out at night, he was wearing thick clothes, a military green coat. The coat was very long and big, but fortunately Lu Huanting was tall and could hold up the coat. He now pulled Jiang Xia into his arms, and Jiang Xia felt as if she was wrapped in a quilt, warm.

The cotton hat was also put on Jiang Xia's head.

"Are you cold?" Lu Yuanting asked Jiang Xia.
