Chapter 55 Buying a Watch
Su Qianqian bought new clothes and felt alive again. She delicately took Qiao Wang's arm and went to the watch counter.
Seeing that the two were well-dressed, the salesperson immediately stepped forward to greet them, "Excuse me, would you like to see a watch?"
Su Qianqian raised her chin and said, "Take out the best style and let's see it."
The salesperson took out a ladies' watch with a black dial and black leather strap and said, "This is a Shanghai brand watch. This one is the most expensive, 321 yuan. It is also the last one in our store. It was transferred from Shanghai two days ago. There is only one like this in Xichuan."
Su Qianqian was very excited after hearing this. She looked at Qiao Wang, who immediately gave her enough face and said, "Wrap it up, I want this piece!"
Qiao Wang had just finished switching shifts with Shen Xunbao, and he had a total of 500 yuan on him. After buying clothes for Su Qianqian, he had less than 400 yuan left. Now he had taken out another 321 yuan, leaving him with less than 30 yuan.
He sighed and said, women can ruin a family very quickly!
Su Qianqian got the exquisite watch and immediately asked Shen Xunbao to put it on her. "Brother Shen, does it look good?"
Qiao Wang readily agreed, "You are good-looking, and you will look good in anything you wear."
Su Qianqian glanced at him and smiled like a flower.
The two bought watches and prepared to leave when they found that Pei Huaiye had also arrived.
He was asking which ladies' watch was the best, and the salesperson looked embarrassed and said, "The best watch has been given to this lady by this gentleman, why don't you take a look at other brands of watches?"
Pei Huaiye glanced at the watch on Su Qianqian's hand, bought a Seagull mechanical watch, gave the salesperson two hundred and thirty yuan, and left with the box.
Su Qianqian sneered. What could a poor guy like Pei Huaiye afford to buy for Su Qingyue?
She then asked the salesperson, "Is there any watch in Xichuan that is more valuable than mine?"
The salesperson said firmly, "Shanghai brand is already the most expensive. The more expensive ones are foreign brands. However, the purchasing power in the county is limited after all. We have never imported foreign brand watches."
Su Qianqian got the response she wanted, and said to Qiao Wang with a proud look on her face, "Then let's go take a look at the sewing machine."
Su Qianqian was about to pull him to the electrical counter, but was stopped by Qiao Wang, "Qianqian, it's almost noon, let's go eat first so you don't get hungry, then we'll go to the hospital for a checkup, and then we can continue shopping. We can't be careless about the child's affairs."
He was serious about what he said, and Su Qianqian was touched by his thoughtfulness, so they went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner again.
At the dinner table, Qiao Wang served attentively, picking up dishes and serving soup. This was a stark contrast to his cold attitude in the past few days. Su Qianqian frowned, always feeling that Brother Shen was weird, but she couldn't find any fault with it.
Pei Huaiye went to the black market and found an acquaintance, Lao Jiang. He threw the Seagull mechanical watch he had just bought to him and asked, "How much more do you want to exchange for this best watch?"
Lao Jiang took the mechanical watch and said, "You only paid over 200 yuan for this. I asked someone to bring this foreign product back from Beijing. It took a lot of effort. It's only one dollar. I want to wear it for myself. It's not cheap anyway!"
Lao Jiang counted, and Pei Huaiye didn't even blink. "Stop talking nonsense, take it out and let me see."
Lao Jiang grinned, "I like people like you who are straightforward!" He took out an exquisite dark green box, "You've heard of Swiss Tissot, right? Look at the craftsmanship and style, it's unbeatable in Beijing or Shanghai!"
Pei Huaiye looked at the watch carefully and found that the strap was made of genuine leather, the dial was extremely delicate, and the style was unique and novel. Such a watch would definitely look beautiful on her creamy wrist.
He took out eight hundred yuan and said, "Here I go. Do you have a sewing machine?"
Lao Jiang calculated that the Seagull watch cost 800 yuan, and he got more than 1,000 yuan. His mouth was stretched to his temples, "Yes! The state-owned department store must not have it? No receipt, give me 230 yuan!"
Pei Huaiye took out dozens of big unity notes and said, "Send them to this address first."
Lao Jiang smiled from ear to ear, "No problem."
Su Qingyue bought oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, daily necessities and various snacks for her family at the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked her sister-in-law and brother to take all the big bags back on the tractor.
Su Qingwu looked at Qingyue helplessly, "We have everything at home, you can save your own money, and your sister-in-law and I will take care of the household expenses in the future!"
Su Qingyue smiled and said, "Brother, we don't have to be so clear about family matters."
Li Zilan felt relieved and secretly put a dollar in Zhuangzhuang's trouser pocket, "This is enough for you to eat three or four kilograms of fried dough twists. Remember to buy snacks for the two aunts, and be sure to bring the rest of the money back!"
Zhuangzhuang had pocket money for the first time. He held his trouser pocket tightly and nodded his head excitedly, "Okay, Mom, I know!"
Su Qingyue said goodbye to her elder brother and sister-in-law, and took her younger sister and Zhuangzhuang to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. It was the first time for them to eat in such a place, and they looked at everything curiously.
The waiter brought the dishes with a smile, "Braised pork trotters, stewed chicken with mushrooms, steamed fish, and three bowls of rice. The dishes are all here. Please enjoy your meal."
Su Zhuangzhuang followed his aunt's example and thanked the waiter, then buried his head in his food.
Su Qingxi gnawed on the pig's trotter, her eyes narrowed with happiness, "Sister, this pig's trotter is so delicious!"
Su Qingyue smiled, "You two should eat slowly. After you finish, we will pack some and take them home for Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law to try."
After lunch, Su Qingyue took the two little ones to the clinic. When she changed Pei Huaiye's dressing yesterday, she found that his gauze and alcohol were gone.
Su Qingyue briefly described the wound, and the doctor gave her some medicine. A bottle of medical alcohol cost 1.6 yuan, a roll of bandages cost 80 cents, and a small bag of gauze cost 60 cents. Su Qingyue asked for five bags. Finally, she got two tubes of antibiotic ointment, which cost 7 yuan. The total cost was 12.40 yuan.
After buying the medicine, she took her younger sister and nephew out and unexpectedly met Su Qianqian.
She was about to look away when Su Qianqian interrupted, "What's wrong, Su Qingyue? Did you buy so many medicines because you have some strange disease?"
Su Qianqian had just come out of the obstetrics department. Everything was fine after the checkup. Qiao Wang was worried and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine to preserve the fetus.
She didn't dare let Su Qingyue know that she was pregnant before marriage, so she deliberately took the initiative to blur the point.
People coming and going were looking at them.
Su Qingyue's eyes were as cold as ice. "Su Qianqian, what did the doctor say? Can the water in your brain be cured?"
Before Su Qianqian could react, Qiao Wang protected her behind him and said seriously, "Su Qingyue, Qianqian just has a pain in her wisdom tooth. Buy some anti-inflammatory medicine. I hope you won't gossip about me when you return to the village!"
Su Qingyue's face froze slightly. Before she could say anything, she saw Xiao Zhuangzhuang running to the front with his arms open and protecting her behind him.
The little person stood with his legs apart and a domineering look on his face, pointing at Qiao Wang and Su Qianqian with his chubby little hands, "You are bad people! Don't bully my aunt!"
"Su Zhuangzhuang! I used to change your diapers when you were a kid! You are such a heartless person!"
"You are not a good aunt. You always snatch my egg custard when mom is not around!"
Su Qingyue touched Zhuangzhuang's head and pulled him behind her to be protected by Qingxi.
She glanced over with cold eyes, "Su Qianqian! Are you sick? Why are you taking your anger out on a child?!"
Su Qingyue turned around and questioned Qiao Wang, "And you! Have you also been infected with some serious disease? It was Su Qianqian who cursed first. Are you blind, Shen Xunbao?! Take care of that gossipy woman next to you!"
She glanced at Su Qianqian's belly and said disdainfully, "Not everyone has the same dirty mind as Su Qianqian! I won't offend others unless they offend me!"
She was about to leave when Su Qianqian took Qiao Wang's arm and challenged him with a smile, "Su Qingyue! I'm getting married to Brother Shen tomorrow. Do you regret it?
I am the only one in our village who has a three-turn and one-ring gift for marriage! Pei Huaiye can't afford these things!"
