Chen Wang spent another 30 yuan to buy two bicycle tickets.
"Dude, do you want anything else?"
"Not for now. I'll come find you if I need you. You're often here, right?"
"That's right. If you can't find me here, go to the electronics store."
The young man said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, walk slowly!"
Chen Wang took the ticket and quickly walked into the department store.
I glanced around casually and found that the space inside was quite large, divided into several different areas, where a variety of goods were sold.
The first area near the entrance is where tobacco, alcohol, and various daily necessities are sold.
Further inside are clothing, shoes and hats, then the grocery area. There is also a small supermarket selling a variety of snacks and daily necessities.
There were quite a few customers in the store, but Chen Wang quickly found his wife and the little girl. The two were holding hands and walking around the clothing area.
Chen Wang walked over quickly.
"Wife, Xiaoyu!"
"elder brother!"
When the little girl heard the shout, she turned her head and looked at him expectantly.
Lin Xiuqin also looked at him with an inquiring look.
Chen Wang took out three tickets from his pocket, shook them, and said with a smile, "I bought them."
"Why are there three?"
The little girl asked curiously.
"There are two more tickets for bicycles. Wife, I plan to buy two bicycles and buy one for Dazhuang as well. This way it will be much more convenient for us to go to town to sell things in the future."
Chen Wang hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, Lin Xiuqin glared at him with reproachful eyes.
It’s not that she was reluctant to spend this little money, but a bicycle is a big item these days. Chen Wang didn’t even discuss it with her in advance, and suddenly did this, which caught her off guard.
"Bicycle? Brother, are we going to buy a bicycle too? That's great."
The little girl didn't care about that and became even happier.
Chen Wang walked up to his wife and hugged her waist, smiling and comforting her: "It's my fault, don't be angry, I saw that the man just happened to have these tickets, and they were not expensive, so I bought two. This is a rare opportunity, and our family really needs a bicycle."
Lin Xiuqin pushed him away with a red face, looked around in panic, and rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment.
Chen Wang grinned.
He knew that this was how his wife calmed down.
"Wife, look, there are so many clothes. How about you and Xiaoyu pick a few each?"
Chen Wang suggested with a smile.
The little girl's face lit up with joy and she looked at Lin Xiuqin with longing.
Lin Xiuqin pointed at the little girl and indicated that she could buy two pieces of clothing for her and leave herself alone.
"Oh, it's so hard to come to the city, I have to buy everything, I have to have new clothes to wear during the New Year!"
Chen Wang walked around behind his wife, pressed her shoulders, and pushed her towards the clothes.
The clerk was a young girl. She greeted me politely and asked who wanted to see the clothes.
"Help them all take a look."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
The salesgirl nodded and began to help recommend combinations with an enthusiastic smile.
Every time the two of them changed their clothes, the shop assistant would of course give them a round of praise.
Lin Xiuqin was a little shy, but the little girl was very happy and stood in front of the mirror admiring herself.
After trying on two sets, Lin Xiuqin, who was originally reluctant to buy clothes for herself, also became interested.
As a woman, there is no woman who doesn’t like shopping for clothes.
What's more, it was her first time in the city and her first time buying clothes in such a store. She was dazzled by the variety of beautiful clothes.
It takes a lot of time for women to choose clothes, so even if men are impatient, it is best not to rush them.
Chen Wang found a stool and sat down, picked up a magazine next to him and started flipping through it, letting them take their time to choose.
Every time the little girl or Lin Xiuqin changed into new clothes, the little girl would call him.
Chen Wang looked up and pretended to appreciate it, then gave a thumbs up and said it was nice and he would buy it if he wanted it.
The clothes selection process lasted more than an hour.
The little girl bought two cotton-padded jackets, two pairs of trousers and a pair of warm boots for wearing in the snow.
As for sweaters and trousers, Lin Xiuqin would knit them for her every year. They might not be as comfortable as those in this store, but the little girl still thought that her sister-in-law made them better.
Lin Xiuqin only asked for a long cotton jacket and a pair of big-toed shoes. No matter how Chen Wang and the shop assistant tried to persuade her, she just didn't want them.
The soles of the big-toed shoes are made of rubber, and the surface is made of grass-green canvas with felt. The head and tail of the shoes are sewn with suede leather. The main feature is that they are sturdy and warm.
This type of shoes is very popular in the Northeast region. Its high cost-effectiveness and sturdy and warm effects have gradually spread throughout the country.
Lin Xiuqin's jacket was a little more expensive, costing over 40 yuan, and her boots were only 15 yuan.
Although there seem to be a lot of these little girls, they are actually not expensive, only about 50 yuan in total.
The total cost of clothes for the two of them was 108.
When Lin Xiuqin paid the bill, she still felt a pang in her heart.
This is the first time she has spent so much money in her twenty-something years of life.
The store has cloth bags, but they cost extra.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuqin brought a red, white and blue cloth bag, and folded the clothes and shoes she bought and put them in it.
"Brother, are we spending too much money?"
After walking out of the clothing area, the little girl looked up and asked.
Chen Wang smiled and patted her head, comforting her: "It's not much money, don't worry, I can support you."
Lin Xiuqin gave him a funny look.
"Wife, why are you glaring at me? This really isn't considered wasting money. We only buy clothes once a year, right? What's the point of making money? Isn't it to live a better life? Life is all about food, clothing, shelter and transportation!"
