Chapter 72: Alternative Fashion Taste
This floor sells washing machines, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, electric fans, electric lights, stereos, video recorders and other items.
Gu Jin walked towards the stairs, looking back from time to time to remind his cousin to follow him.
There was no way. As soon as he entered the department store, my cousin's eyes widened. He stared at this and that, his eyes full of surprise.
The two of them went to the second floor, where they sold cigarettes, various kinds of alcoholic beverages, biscuits, tin cans, malted milk, White Rabbit candy, as well as daily necessities, umbrellas, thermoses, towels, cups, and so on.
When he arrived at the third floor, he saw a wide variety of fashionable clothes. Gu Jiajie stared at those strange clothes again and again.
Gu Jin took a quick look and took him to the men's clothing counter.
"What would you like to buy?" the saleswoman asked.
In this day and age, salespeople who take the initiative to strike up a conversation are usually the ones with particularly good tempers.
Moreover, although Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie's clothes did not look like beggars, they were not much better. It was not easy for the other party to be so friendly.
Gu Jin smiled and asked, "Do you have any leather jackets?"
"Yes, this one."
The salesperson pointed to a leather jacket hanging behind him.
The leather jackets at that time were very simple in style, but they were the most fashionable clothing nowadays, and only those with well-off families could afford them.
Gu Jin pointed at Gu Jiajie beside him and said, "Find something he can wear."
"OK."
The salesperson quickly took out a leather jacket from the counter, and Gu Jin took it and handed it to Gu Jiajie.
"Try on how you wear it."
Gu Jiajie stupidly took the leather jacket and put it on mechanically. While putting it on, he secretly touched the leather. It was very smooth, and the smell of leather really made him feel drunk. It was the smell of money.
Even if he stayed in Qingshan Village, he knew what a leather jacket was.
He had occasionally seen people wearing them in the county, but they were only affordable for people who drove cars. Every time he saw them, he would look at them with envy.
Gu Jin saw him wearing a leather jacket, which did not match the old autumn clothes underneath.
She turned around and asked the saleswoman, "Do you have any thin sweaters?"
"Yes, we have white, black, and navy blue. What color do you want?"
Gu Jin looked back at Gu Jiajie, who seemed a little restrained, and said, "Navy blue."
The salesperson found a thin navy blue sweater from a pile of clothes on the counter with ease.
The other party put the clothes on the counter and pointed to a simple curtain not far away: "You can go behind the curtain to change clothes."
Gu Jin took the thin sweater in his hand and said, "Find a pair of straight jeans, not bell-bottoms, but ones that are more fitted."
The other party threw out a pair of jeans from the counter. The color was not dark and the style was very simple.
Jeans like this don't sell as well as bell-bottoms, but for Gu Jin, this is not an eyesore. She just doesn't like this kind of alternative fashion.
Gu Jin stuffed the jeans and the thin sweater into his cousin's arms and raised his chin towards him: "Go and try them on."
Holding the clothes in his arms, Gu Jiajie looked conflicted.
He glanced at the saleswoman standing at the counter, walked over to his cousin, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jin, this dress must be very expensive. Let's not buy it."
He now only had more than 120 yuan on him, 120 of which were earned from the past three days in Puppet City. It was definitely not enough to buy these clothes.
Gu Jin pushed him towards the curtain and said with a smile, "Why are you worrying so much? Just go and try on the clothes."
