Chapter 18 (2)



I have to buy a few more low-top and thick cotton blouses. If I wait until I get to Liaoning to prepare, I may not be able to buy them. "

"You don't have to worry about the money and bills. Grandpa has prepared a lot for me for my wedding. You and Dad can help us. Meiyun and I have just set up a new family and we don't have much experience. Don't let anything slip away later."

As Lu Changzheng spoke, he handed a thick stack of tickets in an envelope from his pocket and a large roll of reunion notes to Liu Meiyu.

The corners of Liu Meiyu's eyes twitched, and she finally understood what it felt like to marry into a wealthy family.

When Zhou Huiru heard her son-in-law say that conditions there were so difficult and that nothing could be bought, she realized as a mother that she couldn't bear to see her children suffer, so she no longer felt sorry for the money and started to worry about their food, drink, and daily life.

As soon as they walked into the department store, Zhou's mother's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. She completely showed the spirit of an aunt in later generations shopping in a discount mall, and did not miss any counter.

"Comrade, how much is your enamelware pot?"

"It's cold there, so my skin is prone to chapped easily. I need to prepare a few more boxes of vanishing cream."

"And towels, toothbrushes, matches..."

So the whole family followed Zhou Huiru, listening to her chatter while acting as laborers. Of course, the main laborers were Liu Yongnian and Lu Changzheng.

In the days after the Chinese New Year, although department stores are not as busy as before the New Year, there are still many people.

It was two hours later when Liu Meiyu and her friends came out of the department store carrying bags of things.

They bought a lot of things this time. Liu Meiyu simply stocked up on cotton-padded clothes and fabrics for all four seasons. They would have to be mailed to the troops anyway, so she didn't have to carry them on the train herself.

Liu Meiyu also bought two new cotton-padded clothes for Zhou Huiru and Liu Yongnian, the kind with the most solid cotton. Zhou Huiru didn't feel bad about spending money on her daughter, but she didn't feel the same way when spending money on herself. After much persuasion, it was still her son-in-law Lu Changzheng who was able to persuade her.

Even though they bought a lot, if each person carried a little, it wouldn't look that conspicuous, especially since the tickets given by Lu Changzheng were all military coupons.

After packing the things and sending them to the post office for express delivery, the staff wanted to ask a few questions, but when they saw the delivery address above and saw Lu Changzheng showing his ID, they said nothing and sent the package to them quickly. Their attitude was better than ever before.

After finishing the work that needed to be done and preparing all the things that needed to be done, in the blink of an eye it was the tenth day, the day they were supposed to leave.
