Yue Yue was so moved that her eyes became moist. She said, "Mom, please stop praising me. I will continue to work hard to make our family better and better."
The mother nodded and said, "Okay, Mom believes you."
My mother-in-law was so excited that tears streamed down her face: "I have worked in the workshop for ten years! I finally made it, and my salary has more than doubled!"
As the little braided skirts and hair ornaments became popular in department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, these exquisite products were sold out in an instant.
Orders from the textile factory where my mother-in-law works came in like snowflakes, keeping them extremely busy.
The workers work in three shifts every day, but their wages are much higher than those in other textile factories.
Every day when we get off work, everyone is filled with joy.
When her mother-in-law came home from get off work, she happily handed her five hundred yuan and told her that it was a bonus from the factory.
Yue Yue was very happy because, with the 1,500 yuan she had before, she now had a full 2,000 yuan in her hands.
She decided to use the money to buy some food and other daily necessities on the black market.
After dressing up carefully, she came to the North District.
From a distance, there were many people coming in and out, and there were people guarding the door.
She knew in her heart that she had found the right place.
She quickly covered her headscarf more tightly, then bent over and walked slowly.
The person at the door asked her, "Are you going out or coming in?"
It means shipping or purchasing.
She quickly lowered her voice and said, "Come in, the children at home are waiting to eat."
The two men took two cents from her and let her in. It was pitch black inside, with only a faint light.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at the things in front of them, and no one dared to make a loud noise.
She looked at the stall in front of her carefully, and suddenly found that a man was selling wild boar meat not far away. There was a crowd of people around him, all vying to buy the wild boar meat.
Nowadays, slaughterhouses generally give priority to supplying large factories and government workers, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to eat meat.
Therefore, when people saw fresh wild boar meat here, they immediately flocked here.
She also squeezed into the crowd. Seeing that she was dressed like an elderly person, everyone politely let her go first to buy.
She bought five pounds of wild boar meat, then thanked the people around her and hurried out of the crowd so as not to delay other people's shopping.
Then she bought some seeds and rice and flour and put them into the space one by one.
With the backpack to protect her, she completed the purchase and collection of most items with swift movements.
The rest can be purchased at the local supply and marketing cooperative, which can also save time.
After she bought everything she wanted, she hurriedly left the black market.
She hurried to the public restroom, carefully changed out of her slightly old clothes, and put on her carefully selected new clothes.
Then, she walked lightly towards the bustling department store.
This time, she already had a clear goal in mind - to buy a few pairs of comfortable shoes for her father, mother and Gu Changmu.
Memories flooded back to her mind, and she clearly remembered the first time she saw him in her previous life.
At that time, he was standing in the endless wheat field, diligently wielding a sickle to harvest wheat.
The pair of shoes that should have been bright and shiny were already worn out, with even the toes sticking out from the holes, but he never stopped working.
Originally, given his status, he should have been a pampered young master, living a life of luxury and worry-free.
However, fate played a trick on him, and an unexpected disaster made him bear a false charge.
From then on, he fell to the bottom and became the most avoided and disliked person in the village.
Even in such a difficult situation, he still maintained his kindness and integrity, always protecting himself silently.
Whenever Yue Yue recalled these past events, her eyes would involuntarily become moist.
But she knew very well that this was not the time to be sentimental, so she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and resolutely stepped into the door of the department store.
As soon as she entered the door, the sharp-eyed waiter noticed her. She was well-dressed and elegant, and she must be from a wealthy family.
Therefore, the waiters came forward to greet us enthusiastically, with flattering smiles on their faces, and their service attitude was particularly friendly and thoughtful.
Yue Yue first walked around the mall and finally stopped at the men's shoes section. After careful selection, she finally found four pairs of men's leather shoes of various styles and two pairs of comfortable women's shoes.
Two pairs of men's shoes were for his father, and the other two were for Gu Changmu. As for the size, they both wore size 42, so this would fit them well and not arouse suspicion.
"Could you please pack these six pairs of shoes for me? How much would it cost in total?"
Yue Yue smiled and spoke to the waiter, her voice clear and sweet, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
The waiter took one look at the large order and immediately smiled. He hurriedly picked up the pair of exquisite shoes and carefully wrapped them tightly with wrapping paper.
"Ma'am, the total is fifty yuan, and I need twenty industrial tickets."
The waiter smiled and quoted the price to Yue Yue, then reached out to take the fifty-yuan bill and receipt that Yue Yue handed over.
Yue Yue nodded slightly to show her approval, and then handed the money to the waiter with a quick movement.
The waiter happily held the packed shoes in both hands again and handed them to Yue Yue respectfully.
