"Really? That's great! I was wondering what gift to give to my parents when I go back to their home this year, so I might as well just give them peanut oil."

"Hey, you are the new Officer Qin from the Labor and Personnel Department, right? I've heard of your name before."

Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "You may have heard of my name, but you probably haven't seen me. It's amazing that you can match my name."

"That's not a difficult thing." The salesperson complimented, "I heard that Secretary Qin is a beauty. I saw that you are so beautiful and you are with Aunt Wu, so it must be Secretary Qin."

Qin Hanshu hurriedly said modestly: "No, no, no, I'm a pregnant woman, and I'm going to be swollen in a few days. I can't be beautiful at all."

"How could that be possible? A beauty is a beauty. Being pregnant doesn't affect her at all. Look at your skin and eyes. You look like you came out of a painting!"

This salesperson was really good at boasting, so Qin Hanshu could only take the opportunity to interrupt and say, "I'm here to buy two pieces of clothing."

Qin Hanshu reported Zhou Ruilan's size and asked, "I wonder if there is anyone who is suitable."

At that time, most clothes were of one size, or at most two sizes. However, the styles and patterns were generally large, and most people were thin, so basically everyone could wear them.

But if possible, try to buy something that fits you well and looks better.

The salesperson recommended a blue corduroy jacket. Qin Hanshu looked at it carefully and shook his head slowly.

At this time, Wu Yingxia said, "I say, you two are too stingy. You hid the scarce goods. Are you planning to use them for reproduction?"

The two salesmen looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly.

One of them bent down and soon came out with some brightly colored clothes.

Due to the scarce supply, some sales clerks will not even put the products on the counter and basically “consume them internally”.

This is the most important reason why the profession of salesperson is so popular.

Qin Hanshu took a fancy to a green plaid coat. It was not very thick and could not be worn in the winter in the northwest, but it would be just right to wear in the spring.

When the salesperson saw that Qin Hanshu liked it, he complimented her, "Secretary Qin has a really good eye. There were only three pieces of this style in total, and now there is only this one left."

Qin Hanshu asked: "How much is this?"

The salesperson replied, "Forty-five dollars."

This price is considered very high, but the prices in department stores are clearly marked, so there is no question of cheating.

Qin Hanshu nodded, "Okay, I'll take this one."

Wu Yingxia knew that she was buying it for her sister-in-law, and she sighed, "You are such a generous sister-in-law. You gave away two months' salary in one go."

Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "It's okay, just spend her brother's money."

"Isn't her brother's money your money?" Wu Yingxia thought for a moment and said, "But it's true. You two live far away from each other and you don't spend much money on your family members at ordinary times. It's reasonable to spend more at a critical moment."

It is said that Wu Yingxia knows many people in the company and is on good terms with everyone. The former can be said to be due to her long years of work experience, but the latter is inseparable from her thoughtful personality.

Next, Qin Hanshu bought two wool sweaters, a fluorescent pink gauze scarf and a lake green silk scarf.

Fluorescent pink looks tacky, but it is rare. In this era, black, gray and green are the majority, and the more vulgar the color, the better it looks. As long as Zhou Ruilan wears this scarf, she will be the most dazzling girl on the Loess Plateau.

But Zhu Jingsu would definitely not like this, so the lake green scarf is for Zhu Jingsu.

Others also bought some local specialties of Jiangcheng, mostly food.

I shopped for more than an hour and spent more than 90 yuan.

After the purchase, Qin Hanshu went to the post office to pack and send it out.

***

Soon, the end of the year is approaching.

There is no holiday during the Spring Festival, but people still celebrate it. All units also respect this custom.

On New Year's Eve, most of the department store employees took leave, leaving only one person who lived nearby on duty in each office.

On the first day of the new year, department stores are closed and everyone has a holiday.

It can be considered a two-day holiday.

Because of work, Qin Hanshu's spirit has been tense. Now he can relax and sleep in.

It’s just a pity that she was used to getting up early, so she woke up as soon as Zhou Weiguang moved beside her pillow.

"It's only five o'clock, you should sleep a little longer." Zhou Weiguang came over and kissed her forehead, "I'll bring you breakfast from the cafeteria later."

Qin Hanshu turned over and nodded lazily.

But she couldn't fall asleep, so she decided to lie down until dawn and then get up.

His sight moved towards Zhou Weiguang who had lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He was only wearing a pair of shorts. The muscles on his back were firm and smooth, moving with his movements.

Zhou Weiguang gives people a feeling of being very yang. Even in the middle of winter, he was still putting on his clothes slowly, as if he was not cold at all.

Qin Hanshu stood up and hugged Zhou Weiguang.

Zhou Weiguang turned his head in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Qin Hanshu said, "I just feel that you are very warm, and I want to touch you."

Zhou Weiguang's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple swallowed, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't make trouble. I will satisfy you after you give birth."

Qin Hanshu almost choked on his saliva.

That's not what she meant!

The baby in her belly has only been less than two months old, how can she have the time to think about anything else?

Qin Hanshu pushed Zhou Weiguang unhappily, "Your head is full of crap!"

Zhou Weiguang smiled and said, "My wife is embarrassed."

Qin Hanshu: “….”

Zhou Weiguang came over and continued with a shameless face: "It's okay, we are so familiar with each other, I won't laugh at you. And to be honest, I miss it too. It's very painful to sleep every night."

Qin Hanshu had to emphasize: "I! Don't! Want to!"

Zhou Weiguang coaxed: "Okay, okay, you don't want to."

Obviously not believing it.

Qin Hanshu didn't want to argue with him about this anymore, so he changed the subject and asked, "How are we going to have the New Year's Eve dinner today? With my brother and sister-in-law?"

Zhou Weiguang stood up and started to put on his pants. "Today the soldiers are going to have a dinner party. According to custom, we leaders have to help in the kitchen."

Zhou Weiguang glanced at Qin Hanshu and said, "After the dinner, it's getting late..."

Qin Hanshu asked: "About what time?"

"It should be at least nine o'clock." Zhou Weiguang suggested: "In fact, there are many family members who come to visit. What do you think? Why don't we just not prepare it at home and eat together directly?"

Qin Hanshu thought about it and said, "I'll discuss it with my sister-in-law."

Zhou Weiguang said, "Okay."
