"I already have a watch, so I don't need to buy one."
When she was led to the watch counter, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately realized that Qin Yushen wanted to buy her a watch, and quickly refused.
She really did have one, she just forgot to wear it.
Qin Yushen looked at her wrist and said to the sales clerk, "Could you please get one that fits my wife?"
My wife?
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him; he was quite the repressed flirt.
It had only been less than a day since Lin Xiaoxiao last bought a watch, and what's more, she bought the most expensive one.
The sales clerk naturally had a deep impression of her.
There's no reason to refuse business when it comes to you, so I immediately and enthusiastically recommended several women's watches.
Qin Yushen examined each of Lin Xiaoxiao's watches, and after consulting with her, he bought her a new Shanghai-brand watch with a movement for 160 yuan.
The watch is small and, although not as luxurious as imported watches, it is still exquisite and elegant, making it suitable for everyday wear.
"Comrade, your husband treats you so well," the sales clerk said enviously as she wrote out the invoice.
I just bought a watch worth over a thousand yuan yesterday, and my husband bought me another one today.
It's true what they say: comparisons are odious.
Her husband has never bought her anything on his own initiative, and if she asks for something, he will say that she is not frugal.
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Compared to my older sister, I'm still a bit lacking. Look at you, you have such a good job, and you can buy whatever you want yourself. This is what Chairman Mao meant when he said that women can hold up half the sky, not relying on men, and being self-reliant."
"This kind of virtue is something we should all learn from."
The saleswoman smiled broadly, "It's not as good as you say, but it's true that having a job gives you more leverage in your in-laws' family."
Her mother-in-law is such a snob. When she didn't have a job, she complained about this and that. But now that she has a job, even in a place like a department store, her mother-in-law treats her like royalty.
To be honest, her husband's job isn't as good as hers.
Now, she doesn't have to take care of the child or cook meals. If her husband occasionally grumbles a little, he gets scolded by his mother.
Indeed, being able to earn your own money is the greatest source of confidence in your husband's family.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "But my man treats me very well too. He's handsome, has a good job, and most importantly, he's considerate. His personality is also impeccable..."
Seeing her constantly praising her man to the sales clerk, Qin Yushen, who was standing to the side, blushed.
He quickly pulled Lin Xiaoxiao away.
"Big sister, let's chat again next time."
"Alright, take care, girl."
Qin Yu thought to himself, "How can someone be so extroverted? It's really..."
"Really what?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
Qin Yushen then realized that he had inadvertently read out his thoughts.
"It was a little awkward."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at his earlobes, which were so red they looked like they were dripping blood, as if she had discovered a new and exciting continent. "Aren't you shy? I'm praising you."
Qin Yu coughed twice and lowered his voice, "Let's talk this over. In the future, there are some things... we shouldn't say them outside. We can say them at home."
"What did you mean?" Lin Xiaoxiao pretended not to understand.
"......"
Seeing his speechless and stunned expression, Lin Xiaoxiao finally laughed and stopped teasing him. "Okay, I got it."
The two have completely different personalities.
One person is named "e", and the other is named "i".
Qin Yushen insisted on buying Lin Xiaoxiao the three essential items: a sewing machine, a radio, and a dial-up switch. Lin Xiaoxiao repeatedly said that she couldn't use a sewing machine, so in the end, he bought her a radio instead.
I bought a bicycle, but I'm temporarily storing it at the department store.
Qin Yushen will come to the city again tomorrow, and he will ride the bicycle back there with the ticket.
We had lunch at a state-run restaurant.
While eating the braised pork knuckle, Lin Xiaoxiao remarked, "Are we going to have to cook for ourselves tonight?"
Qin Yu hummed in agreement, "Eating in the cafeteria is fine, but I'm afraid you won't like the food."
Lin Xiaoxiao wailed, "Let me tell you first, my cooking is terrible."
She's a natural kitchen disaster; when she first started learning to cook, she fried food countless times.
Later, he was able to cook the food even if he could only manage to do so, which was already quite an achievement.
Don't even mention the taste.
It's a little better than shit.
Qin Yushen heard her say that her cooking was not good, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "It's okay, I'm a pretty good cook. I'll cook from now on."
He married a wife, not a nanny.
There's no requirement to know how to cook.
If Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't know how, then she doesn't. If he does, then he can do it. If he doesn't know how either, then the two of them can just eat in the cafeteria.
It always fills my stomach.
"Comrade Qin, I must give you a thumbs up for your ideological awareness." Lin Xiaoxiao said seriously, giving him a thumbs up.
Then she put a large piece of meat on his plate and said happily, "From now on, our family's meals will depend on you. I can help you with the cooking."
Seeing how happy she was to hear that she didn't have to cook, Qin Yushen felt that it was quite good that he had such a skill.
At least I can cook for her.
Otherwise, if the two of them really ate in the cafeteria, he was sure that Lin Xiaoxiao would have to come to the city for special meals within two days.
The two of them ate together these past two days, and he gradually figured out some of her eating habits.
For example, they like to eat large amounts of meat, such as braised pork belly and braised pork hock.
They eat vegetables, but not much.
Although the army canteen also had meat, it was less oily and mostly consisted of steamed buns and rice that you could eat as much as you wanted. Braised pork could only be eaten once a week.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Yushen felt that it was better to cook at home.
Lin Xiaoxiao definitely doesn't like the cafeteria food.
After finishing his meal, Qin Yushen went to the post office to mail a letter. Lin Xiaoxiao saw that he had also slipped twenty yuan into the letter, but she didn't say anything.
