Chapter 42 Buying Wedding Supplies
Gu Yiye felt better after receiving comfort from Lin Shanshan's love.
My wife is right. My parents-in-law are also my parents, and my brother-in-law is also my elder brother!
Gu Yiye led Lin Shanshan to the supply and marketing cooperative to choose items for their wedding.
In this day and age, to have a grand wedding, you need the "three big items": a watch, a bicycle, and a sewing machine. If you add a radio, you can make up the "three turns and one sound," which makes up the four big items.
Moreover, watches had to be "Shanghai" brand, sewing machines had to be "Bee" or "West Lake" brand, and bicycles had to be "Forever" brand; only then were they considered high-class.
Gu Yiye already has a Forever brand bicycle, so he doesn't need to buy this one. He was just about to go look at watches.
Lin Shanshan pulled him back and whispered, "Brother Gu, let's not buy the watch yet. I saw Yang Wenqing had a digital watch at the black market the other day, and I like that one."
Gu Yiye said, "Then I'll find someone to buy it."
Lin Shanshan shook her head: "No need. My space is the king. When I get close to Yang Wenqing, I'll try to get a watch first. I always feel that devouring should be a gradual process."
Gu Yiye said, "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
After saying that, he tried to pull Lin Shanshan to look at the sewing machine and radio. Lin Shanshan pouted and said, "I don't know how to sew clothes, and I don't want to wear sewn clothes."
It's not that Lin Shanshan is being pretentious; from childhood to adulthood, she has never worn clothes that are even slightly old, let alone patched ones.
Gu Yiye affectionately patted Lin Shanshan's head and laughed, "Okay, no need to buy any. I'll buy new clothes for my little wife every month from now on. I absolutely won't let my little girl wear old or tattered clothes."
Lin Shanshan was finally satisfied and said, "Why don't we buy a TV? It's better than a radio, and it even has a picture."
Gu Yiye readily agreed, saying, "Okay, but I don't have any industrial tickets. Let's go to the black market to buy tickets first, and while we're at it, see if they have any blankets or anything like that."
After saying that, the two left the supply and marketing cooperative and went to the black market to find treasures.
The black market had quite a few good things. Lin Shanshan found two red thermos flasks, two washbasins, a basin stand, four towels, two red duvet covers and sheets, and a pot of brightly colored plastic flowers.
These are all used for weddings, so when Lin Shanshan chose colors, she either used bright red or white with bright red peonies printed on it, which looked festive!
After buying the items, I spent another 30 yuan to buy an industrial ticket.
After leaving the black market, the two found a secluded spot to put the items into their spatial storage.
Lin Shanshan exclaimed: "Having this space makes it so convenient to store things anytime!"
The two then went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, took out their industrial ration coupons, and spent 220 yuan to buy a television set.
The two carried the television out the door, then found a quiet place to store it away.
After doing all that, it was 6 o'clock.
Gu Yiye said, "Shanshan, let's go eat, then find a guesthouse, and meet with Uncle Wang again at 9 o'clock."
Lin Shanshan was also hungry, and nodded, saying, "Okay, food is essential for life. If we don't eat, we'll get hungry. Let's go eat first."
Gu Yiye had the ability to make money and he had money in his pocket. In addition, he felt sorry for his wife, so he still had dinner at a state-run restaurant.
When I went in, I saw the brother and sister from noon there. However, the woman probably sensed Gu Yiye's resistance and didn't come over to greet him. She just watched from a distance.
Gu Yiye ignored her and ordered food, served Lin Shanshan dishes, rice, and soup.
After finishing our meal and going to pay the bill, the waiter said, "A lady has already paid your bill."
It must be that woman who claimed to be Gu Yiye's biological mother. She's already gone, so naturally we can't give her the money for food.
Gu Yiye was unconvinced, thinking to himself: My mother wasn't there when I needed her the most, and now she's coming to fawn over me, but I don't need her anymore!
