"Wear this outfit to the banquet the day after tomorrow." He took the shoebox, handed the money to the salesperson, and said this.
Qiao Wanyue seemed to be deep in thought.
Looking down at his feet, I saw a pair of worn-out leather shoes.
She knew what he meant. The day after tomorrow, her family was going to hold a homecoming banquet for Lu Yunzhou, inviting relatives, friends, and the whole village. Since they were still husband and wife in name only, she naturally had to attend.
Qiao Wanyue also picked out a pair for him.
Since we're going to wear new clothes, let's buy them for the whole family.
So, instead of buying it just for Qiao Wanyue, it became buying it for the whole family.
Qiao Wanyue even bought a red rope for her family's big yellow dog, intending to tie it around its neck when she got home.
The two of them were carrying large and small bags, their hands brimming with purchases.
"Not going home?" Qiao Wanyue turned to leave, but Lu Yunzhou freed his hand and pulled her arm to the innermost part of the room.
"Buy a watch."
She was just saying it casually.
The watch was indeed broken, and Qiao Wanyue planned to find a repairman to fix it so that it could still be used.
Lu Yunzhou brought her to the watch section.
"Choose one."
Qiao Wanyue didn't think much of the clothes she picked out for herself or her family. After all, the new clothes were for his homecoming banquet. But a watch here cost three or four hundred yuan. Although there were cheaper ones, she couldn't tell that Lu Yunzhou was the type of person who would buy cheap things.
But when a man invites her to buy something, she can't just refuse outright. They're still husband and wife. If he doesn't spend his money on her, is he going to spend it on other women? Even if she doesn't care about his meager earnings.
But the two are not completely unrelated.
After a brief internal struggle, Qiao Wanyue pointed to a sparkly brand-name watch and said, "Could you please bring out this one to try?"
The sales clerk glanced at the two people in front of her. Qiao Wanyue's coat looked expensive, and although the man next to her was dressed in old clothes, his aura was undeniable.
She carefully took out the metal watch and put it on the wrist that Qiao Wanyue handed her.
"How much?" he asked.
Salesperson: "Foreign brand, 350 yuan, no receipt needed."
"Comrade, is this for a wedding?"
Qiao Wanyue was taken aback.
The watch on my wrist felt like it was burning hot.
Lu Yunzhou nodded. "Yes, newlyweds."
The saleswoman, as if she had started talking non-stop, said, "Lady, you have excellent taste! This is the perfect choice for your wedding. Many newlyweds come here to buy this one. It's beautiful and compact, perfect for ladies. I see you two are a perfect match. Are you going to buy three or four pieces?" She then started chatting with them.
Lu Yunzhou silently kept it in mind.
Qiao Wanyue had already removed the watch.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
She nodded.
Before he could utter a second word.
He had already taken out the money and then casually fastened the watch to her wrist.
"Keep it on."
"My watch....."
She also had a watch on her wrist, a Shanghai brand watch that cost over a hundred yuan, but it had stopped running. Lu Yunzhou bent down and took the watch off for her.
"I'll find someone to fix it."
Qiao Wanyue watched as he readily took out three hundred yuan without even blinking.
Deep down, I'm satisfied.
They are still husband and wife in name only. If he is stingy with money, who knows how many more trials they will face in the future.
