Go, go, go! Go away!
She is not a virgin anymore. Does Pei Yuanzheng still expect her to not know about his little thoughts?
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things for the wedding."
Ruan Niannian thought that it was nothing more than buying some snacks, candies and the like. Mrs. Pei had already bought the red cloth before.
Who knew that what Pei Yuanzheng wanted to buy was far beyond her imagination.
At the daily necessities counter, he pointed at the pair of bright red kettles and said to the salesperson, "Hello, comrade, I want the pair of kettles. Do you have the washbasin with red patterns?"
"Yes, I want a few."
Pei Yuanzheng asked for two right away, "I need a pair for my wedding with my partner. And any red items, give me a pair."
The salesperson at the counter looked Pei Yuanzheng and Ruan Niannian up and down.
It was the kind of blatant scrutiny.
"Wait."
She said two words, pushed open a wooden partition next to the shelf, and went inside.
In just ten minutes, she managed to gather a lot of items. Not all of them were red, but she took out anything with a slight hint of red.
Like the enamel cup, there were only two or three red plum blossoms on the cup, but they were also taken out just to make up the number.
"A pair of red thermoses, a pair of red porcelain basins, a pair of red enamel cups, a pair of red mirrors, a pair of red iron candy boxes, a pair of red vases, a pair of Xifeng toothpastes, a pair of red pillowcases, and a pair of red wooden combs. That's all. Do you want to buy them all?"
Ruan Niannian never thought that the commune’s supply and marketing cooperative would have so much inventory. Could it be that no one in the entire commune buys these festive items when they get married?
When paying the money, Ruan Niannian finally understood why there were so many red things.
Pei Yuanzheng spent half the normal price to buy all these things.
In this age of thrift, how many people are willing to spend so much money? But Pei Yuanzheng spent it without even frowning.
After paying the money, he said in embarrassment: "Comrade, you see our brigade is quite far from the commune, can you help me pack these things?"
"Yes, wait."
The salesperson had a warm smile on his face.
Some people always say that they are poor but proud, and regard their three generations of poor peasants as their most powerful amulet. However, they also yearn for money and are more fawning to rich people than to ordinary people.
The salesperson's attitude now is completely different from when they first stood in front of the counter.
After a while, the salesperson came out carrying a large wooden box and enthusiastically promoted it: "Comrade, this box is a good thing, and it's red. You can use it for your wedding, and it's also very convenient to keep some small items in it at ordinary times."
"Yeah, it looks good."
Pei Yuanzheng confirmed it, checked the box, and suddenly frowned and said, "Comrade, look at this box of yours, the paint has fallen off a little, I'm afraid it has been stored for quite some time, right?"
He also checked those things one by one and found that there were no defective items.
You know, if the paint on a painted box peels off, it can only be sold as a defective product, which is not only much cheaper but also does not require a ticket.
The salesperson knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled at them and waved to the salesperson at the counter next to him. The salesperson also brought over a red box of the same model.
"Comrade, good things come in pairs. Only one of these boxes is defective. We don't want your ticket for either. You have to buy them at the original price."
These two wooden boxes are not cheap.
One of them was defective.
Ruan Niannian was somewhat reluctant. She would rather use the ticket to buy two new ones. They were not particularly short of money. They would be together for the rest of their lives after marriage, so why should they use defective products?
She pulled Pei Yuanzheng's hand.
The next second, the little hand was caught by the big palm and could not be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.
Pei Yuanzheng must have understood what she meant, and said directly: "Comrade, we are using it for our wedding, and my wife doesn't want to use a defective product. Please help me change it to a good one, and I'll pay for it."
The salesperson's face suddenly darkened, and he said unhappily, "No more, there are only two red boxes."
So tough.
Pei Yuanzheng almost laughed out of anger at her.
He had a stern face and did not compromise to buy the two boxes. Instead, he said, "I don't want the defective one. I only want this one."
"Comrade, I'm sorry, we've sold all of them." The salesman raised his hand and placed it on the brand new box, then said provocatively, "I bought this box a long time ago, but I'm offering it up just to make the other one sell better. Since you don't want that one, I won't sell this one to you either."
That really makes sense.
Everyone knows that the salespersons at the supply and marketing cooperative will reserve things for themselves first, but I have never seen anyone say it so blatantly.
In the end, Pei Yuanzheng didn't buy any boxes. He called Wang Gang and brought two brothers to move all the things back to the yard.
Wang Gangke was on the right track. Seeing Ruan Niannian calling her sister-in-law all the time, Pei Yuanzheng was annoyed.
After the things were moved, he immediately turned hostile and said, "Okay, go back now. I'll let you know when the work starts in two days."
Completely ignoring Wang Gang's resentful face.
"Brother, without someone like you, are we still good brothers?"
Pei Yuanzheng turned around and patted his shoulder, saying solemnly: "Gangzi, in front of your sister-in-law, even your aunt has to take a step back. Now, do you know what to do?"
Wang Gang was stunned and still puzzled when he left the stage.
Is this still the serious brother who would send people running 20 kilometers away if they disagreed with him?
Why do I feel like a different person?
After Wang Gang left, Pei Yuanzheng continued to take Ruan Niannian to visit the supply and marketing cooperative, "Wife, what else do you want to buy?"
