As soon as the voice fell, He Tiantian looked at Jiang Qingyue with envy, "Qingyue, I really envy you for marrying a good man."
Jiang Qingyue smiled dryly and pulled her lips. Before she could say anything, she heard He Tiantian continue, "By the way, the New Year is coming soon. Our supply and marketing cooperative just got a red woolen coat from Shanghai. It's so beautiful. Do you want to take a look? There are only two pieces in our county. If I were not too fat to wear them, I would sell everything I have to buy them."
I saw He Tiantian winking at me while talking.
Jiang Qingyue immediately realized that she was going to kill Zhou Zhengting.
She is really her good sister.
This time, Jiang Qingyue refused to go no matter what and resolutely pulled Zhou Zhengting away.
"I think it's getting late. We're afraid that if we're late, the bus back to the brigade will leave. We can come back next time."
Zhou Zhengting stood still and said, "Let's take a look."
"No, I don't need any clothes now. Besides, a tweed coat is not suitable for working in the countryside. I really don't want one."
Seeing that Jiang Qingyue was so anxious that she was about to cry, Zhou Zhengting certainly understood what she was worried about.
It's not that I can't afford to give her a woolen coat.
It's just a relationship between two people, and it's indeed not suitable.
He nodded in agreement and said, "Then let's look at something else. Do you have any scarves?"
The winter here is too cold. Seeing that Jiang Qingyue was always wearing the same scarf, Zhou Zhengting suddenly had the idea of changing her scarf.
"Yes, yes." He Tiantian quickly took a red scarf from the counter. "Feel it. It's so warm and fluffy. Qingyue has fair skin, so she looks best in red."
Jiang Qingyue wanted to refuse, but when she saw the beautiful scarf, she thought, if she couldn’t afford the clothes, how could she not afford a scarf?
Then he asked, "How much is this scarf?"
"Six dollars, no ticket."
"Ah, what kind of scarf is so expensive?"
"It's cashmere. Feel it. You can wear it for years."
Jiang Qingyue sighed slightly, and she couldn't figure out how much money she had spent today.
But when he thought about the next manuscript he was about to take, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Let's take this one."
After buying the scarf, He Tiantian helped Jiang Qingyue put it on. "Wow, it looks great. This scarf suits you very well. Do you want to look at other ones?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qingyue quickly pulled Zhou Zhengting's arm and said, "Tiantian, we really are going to miss the bus. I'll come and play with you next time."
After saying that, he forcibly pulled Zhou Zhengting out.
As soon as they left the house, Jiang Qingyue quickly let go of her hand, looking embarrassed, "I didn't bring enough money just now, let's settle it together when we get back."
Zhou Zhengting poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
By the time the two of them hurried to the assembly point, several educated youth had already boarded the bus one after another.
Seeing what Zhou Zhengting was holding in his hand, and the eye-catching red scarf around Jiang Qingyue's neck.
They couldn't help but ask, "How much did you buy?"
"This scarf is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"
Unlike everyone else who was curious, Fang Ruyun was furious when she saw the two of them bought so many things.
It was as if she had spent her money.
I wanted to tear Jiang Qingyue's scarf off and put it around my neck.
But on the way here, she had already offended Zhou Zhengting once, and speaking again now would only make herself look bad.
He secretly winked at his companions around him.
The man asked tactfully, "Zhou Zhiqing, have you bought your ticket? When is the train?"
Zhou Zhengting lowered his eyes and said, "Twenty-seven is leaving."
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Qingyue unconsciously.
But she seemed to have no reaction at all, and was thinking about something with her head down.
Fang Ruyun on the side couldn't help but secretly rejoice. She had been struggling for a long time before buying the one with the number 27, but she didn't expect that she actually guessed it right.
In fact, Jiang Qingyue also heard the conversation between several people.
However, she didn't care too much about when Zhou Zhengting would leave.
Now she was concentrating on settling her account.
The twenty yuan that Wang Xiuzhi gave her before, plus the ten yuan from selling the braids, and the five yuan in royalties, her total net worth was thirty-five yuan.
The first time I went to the county town, I spent three dollars and fifty cents to buy pork and one dollar and one cent to buy books and newspapers.
Today, a meal for two people at a state-owned restaurant costs about five dollars.
A can of malted milk costs eight dollars, and half of it is four dollars. Half of the miscellaneous seasonings costs two dollars and ninety dollars.
The candy cost two dollars and fifty cents, and the scarf cost six dollars.
Just this trip today cost me twenty dollars and forty cents.
When I went back and gave the money to Zhou Zhengting, I only had ten dollars left in my hand.
She has to go to the county to submit manuscripts before the New Year. If these manuscripts are sent to Beijing and the provincial capital before the end of the year, it will probably take until after the New Year before she can get the royalties!
In other words, she has to rely on these ten dollars to get through the New Year.
Well, since Zhou Zhengting is not here, she can make do alone.
Zhou Zhengting saw Jiang Qingyue frowning and thinking about something, but he had no idea what she was thinking.
Isn’t it said that women like shopping?
How come she is still unhappy even though she bought so many things today?
Could it be that he thinks he left too early?
Worried about being alone at home?
The two of them didn't speak the whole way until they got off the car and returned home.
The first thing Jiang Qingyue did was to find his own money.
"Zhou Zhengting, today's lunch was agreed to be my treat. We'll split the malted milk and seasonings, plus the candy scarf, so I owe you twenty dollars and forty cents in total. Here's a perfect amount for you, take a look."
"It's that ticket. I can't pay you back now, but I'll pay you back when I have it."
