Chapter 38 Private Stash



After buying the watch, the group browsed around the department store for a while, and Huo Junshan then took her to the women's clothing section.

Yun Ningyan was speechless. Did this guy really like shopping that much?

Huo Junshan looked at the several dresses displayed on the counter, the most representative of the era being the plaid dress.

There are blue and white checks, as well as white and black dresses, and red and white dresses.

Sky blue is a rare color; most colors are black, gray, and white.

Huo Junshan asked her, "Do you like it? I think the blue and white checkered one and the red and white checkered one are pretty, and the pink one too, you'll definitely look good in it."

Yun Ningyan said, "I have clothes, so I don't need to buy any."

Huo Junshan insisted, so Yun Ningyan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll buy it!"

She's definitely going to spend all of this guy's savings today.

Yun Ningyan chose a blue and white dress, along with a white dress with yellow peony flowers. The blue and white dress had a Peter Pan collar, and the peony flowers were somewhat like a suit collar.

Huo Junshan was very satisfied and picked out two more shirts and pants for her, and finally bought her a pair of small leather shoes.

Huo Junshan's actions stunned Lin Mengmeng and Zhang Qiang!

This guy is so extravagant!

However, all those clothes combined weren't as valuable as that watch, so Zhang Qiang wasn't surprised when he saw it.

Finally, Huo Junshan went to buy Yun Ningyan face cream and clam oil.

Zhang Qiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled Lin Mengmeng aside.

Yun Ningyan looked at the huge pile of things and was a little speechless. Was this guy a wife-doting maniac?

Thinking about this, she realized something was wrong. What doting husband stuff!

It's all about spoiling your partner!

Huo Junshan's lips stretched to the back of his ears when he heard her thoughts.

Yun Ningyan also picked out two shirts, two pairs of pants, and two pairs of canvas shoes for him. She noticed that Huo Junshan was particularly wasteful with shoes.

Liberation shoes are sturdy and suitable for working.

After thinking for a moment, she bought a shirt for Aunt Xiangyun and Uncle Huo, and asked Huo Junshan to take it back.

After shopping, the two strolled around the department store. Huo Junshan was carrying items in both hands. Salespeople from other sections noticed them and called out, "Come and see, these are all new arrivals!"

The two strolled over to the liquor and tobacco section, and Yun Ningyan's eyes lit up when she spotted Moutai liquor!

There was a news article online that said a bottle of 1970s Moutai sold for as much as 680,000 yuan at auction!

If she buys more now and stores it up, then sells it later, wouldn't she become rich?

"Huo Junshan, let's go buy some Moutai!"

Huo Junshan frowned. "I don't drink, so there's no need to buy any."

Yun Ningyan said, "Buy a few bottles to keep on hand, just in case they come in handy."

Yun Ningyan now sees Moutai as an inexhaustible source of money. The bottle is milky white with a ribbon tied around the neck, embroidered with the words: "China Guizhou Moutai Liquor".

The sales clerk greeted the two of them with a smile as they approached, "What kind of wine would you like to buy? You two look so well-matched, are you getting married? Why are you buying so much stuff?"

Yun Ningyan's face flushed red all the way to her neck. The sales clerk could tell at a glance that she was probably getting married.

Huo Junshan was much calmer. When people said they were getting married soon, he was very happy and said, "Hmm, let's see the wine."

Yun Ningyan asked, "I'd like to buy a few bottles of Moutai. How much is one bottle?"

"Seven yuan a bottle, maximum of six bottles! Tickets required!"

Yun Ningyan was overjoyed. "I'll buy six bottles!"

Only after she finished speaking did she realize that she didn't have that many wine coupons!

Huo Junshan took out 42 yuan from his pocket, gave out 6 wine tickets, and then left with Yun Ningyan after taking the wine.

Yun Ningyan had some doubts: just how much money did this guy have left?

How come he can't empty his pockets completely?

When no one's around, I'll have to check on him. He has a wine ticket, yet he says he doesn't drink?

Huo Junshan wanted to kiss her as he listened to her heartfelt words, but there were too many people around.

The little girl is so cute!

Looking at the bottles of wine, Yun Ningyan said to Huo Junshan, "Go back and get one for Uncle Huo so he can try it."

It was already noon when the group finished shopping. After leaving the department store, Zhang Qiang was already immune to the things Huo Junshan was carrying.

He and Lin Mengmeng also bought a lot, mostly daily necessities.

The group walked toward the state-run restaurant. There weren't many people eating there at this time. Yun Ningyan raised her hand to look at her watch; it was almost 1 p.m.

Huo Junshan ordered a braised pork, a stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and a vegetable dish.

She ordered two more bowls of rice; Yanyan likes to eat rice.

Zhang Qiang also ordered a braised pork, a fried fish, and rice.

Lin Meng was thinking of going back to pay Zhang Qiang for the meal. She couldn't take advantage of him for nothing. She ate a piece of fish, which was very fragrant and delicious, without any fishy smell. "I'll pay you for the meal when we get back!"

None of them spoke again, and they ate their food at the table.

Yun Ningyan ate two pieces of braised pork and felt it was a bit greasy, with too much fat, so she went to eat other dishes.

Huo Junshan put a few pieces of lean meat on her plate, ate the fatty meat himself, and put it in Yun Ningyan's bowl.

Yun Ningyan glared at him, reminding him that there were many people here.

Huo Junshan touched his nose. He only cared about whether his cigarettes were full and well-fed, and didn't care about anyone else.

By the end of the day, his tough-guy image in Zhang Qiang's mind was completely ruined.

Zhang Qiang was already used to it; this man was destined to be a henpecked husband!

Although he had never been in a relationship, he had never seen a man who cared so much about his wife. He still needed to learn from him how to pursue girls and how to treat her well.

Huo Junshan found Zhang Qiang's inner thoughts annoying; why did he have so many things on his mind?

A grown man, so indecisive.

Lin Mengmeng was focused on eating meat and was unaware of Zhang Qiang's thoughts.

After Yun Ningyan finished eating, she put her hands down. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she quietly slipped her small hand into Huo Junshan's pocket.

Huo Junshan paused in his eating, then pretended nothing was wrong and continued eating, while the little girl's hand rubbed against his pants pocket.

Through the thin fabric, the girl's fingers gently touched his thigh. The heat from her fingertips made him unable to calm down, and he felt restless.

Yun Ningyan didn't notice anything unusual about him at all. Finally, she found his pocket and ran her fingertips around inside. The pocket was empty, there was nothing there!

She clearly remembered that Huo Junshan took the money from this pocket, so how come it's gone? Has it all been spent?

Huo Junshan finally couldn't resist. He lowered his left hand, pinched her fingers, and gently scratched her palm with his fingertip.

Yun Ningyan had no choice but to give up!

Before leaving, Yun Ningyan bought more than a dozen meat buns to take back with her, so that Huo Junshan could take them home and let his aunt and uncle have a taste. There were still two children at home, and they ate well every day, so they couldn't forget Huo Junshan's parents.

Lin Mengmeng teased in a low voice, "You're bringing these for Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo, right? You're something else, not even married yet and already thinking about your future in-laws?"

Yun Ningyan glanced at Huo Junshan and, seeing that he didn't react, pinched Lin Mengmeng. "Don't talk nonsense! We should go back."
