Chapter 111 Buying Two Watches
Hu Taihong hesitated and said, "I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, too."
Chen Qing complained: "Then you should walk properly. You are sneaking around like a fool."
"I see." Hu Taihong walked quickly to her side and asked, "Team Leader, what are you going to buy?"
"Just strolling around, what about you?"
"I'm going to buy something." Hu Taihong said, "Last time I underpaid my salary by 10 yuan, and my parents found out. They asked the accountant to get it back, but it was very troublesome for the accountant, so my parents asked me to buy some gifts for the accountant."
Chen Qing nodded: "That's what I should do."
Hu Taihong: "My parents said that too."
Chen Qing glared at him: "Do your parents want to beat you up?"
“They beat me up a lot.”
"real?"
"Well, there are many children in our family, and when there are too many people, it's easy to quarrel. I'm the oldest, so I usually have to take the responsibility, so I often get beaten." Hu Taihong saw her shocked expression and smiled: "I'm used to it."
Chen Qing was speechless.
She was just trying to make a joke, but it turned out to be a hell of a joke.
“It’s not easy for you either.”
"Team leader, have you ever been beaten?" Hu Taihong asked curiously.
Chen Qing shook his head: "That's not the case."
Neither the original owner nor she had ever been beaten by adults.
Hu Taihong envied: "Then you are so lucky."
Chen Qing was amused by him.
He Yuan's face was gloomy!
His eyes shot towards Hu Taihong.
Hu Taihong was terrified: "Team Leader, are you and Researcher He visiting the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"Yes, he wants to send a gift to the master's daughter and asked me to give him some advice."
"Oh, then I..." Hu Taihong looked at her hopefully.
Chen Qing rolled his eyes: "I'll show you, you better work hard for me."
"good!"
Hu Taihong was in high spirits.
He didn't understand the ways of the world and had no idea what to give. But with the help of the team leader, he felt relieved.
He Yuan was furious, angry and aggrieved. He had obviously asked her out! Why was she talking to someone else?
"Chen Qing."
He called her softly.
Chen Qing looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
He Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth lightly: "It's okay, I asked you to watch the road."
Chen Qing: "Ah? Oh, okay."
The three of them fell into silence.
Hu Taihong watched with his eyes and nose, and secretly decided to finish selecting things and leave as soon as possible. He couldn't stand this atmosphere.
The supply and marketing cooperative is very close to the machinery factory. After the three of them arrived at the machinery factory, Chen Qingzheng wanted to ask He Yuan whether he should choose first or later. He Yuan said very generously: "You choose for him first." The sooner the better.
Chen Qing nodded.
Take Hu Taihong to choose gifts.
It was very easy to buy his things, and Chen Qing did it in no time.
Hu Taihong thanked him, bowed slightly to He Yuan, and then left.
As soon as he left, He Yuan and Chen Qing went to the second floor of the supply and marketing cooperative.
The first floor is more homely, while the second floor has expensive items. Generally speaking, people don’t go up there.
Bicycles, radios, watches, sewing machines, etc. are all placed on the second floor. Chen Qing thought that he needed to send them to a place, so he must choose something light. Nowadays, the lightest and most presentable thing is a watch!
The two men stepped onto the last step, and the pinewood stairs creaked, waking up the salesperson who was taking a nap at the counter.
The salesperson raised his eyelids to take a look at them. He saw that one of them was wearing work clothes and the other was dressed decently, and both of them were very good-looking. His expression eased a little.
Chen Qing took He Yuan to the watch counter. Under the glass counter was a dark red velvet cloth, and three Haishi brand watches were placed in a triangular shape.
The watches are divided into men's and women's models. Chen Qing mainly looked at the women's models. The silver bracelet was coiled in a circle, and the diamond marks on the surface refracted like stars under the midday sun.
"120 for a Haishi watch, what do you think?"
"Do you think it looks good?" He Yuan asked.
Chen Qing hummed, "Let's take a look. There's also a Seagull brand over there."
"Eighty-five dollars, plus ten industrial coupons." The salesman said indifferently, holding the watch chain as if he were holding a dead fish.
Chen Qing: "Anything else?"
She remembered there was a card of clubs.
The salesperson stopped at the counter in the innermost room. When she squatted down, the sound of a glass door sliding was heard. She took out a maroon velvet box, and the gold needle of the Plum Blossom watch trembled gently on the dark green dial.
"Titanium watch, 180 yuan." The salesman's voice was boastful and slightly provocative. "Do you want it?"
Chen Qing ignored the salesperson's attitude and moved closer to look at the Plum brand watch. The gold-bronze willow leaf needles began to vibrate slightly.
Twelve silver stars replaced the ordinary numbers, and a hazy halo appeared under the arched glass cover. When the second hand passed through the calendar window at six o'clock, it actually brought up a line of gilded light.
“This looks great!!”
"Then this one." He Yuan asked the salesperson what kind of ticket he needed.
The salesperson saw how quick and efficient he was and quoted a price. He felt envious because the man's girlfriend was handsome and generous. Then he thought about his own pig and secretly decided to go home and give him a beating.
He Yuan took the box and saw Chen Qing looking at the Seagull watch. He said to the salesperson, "I want this one too."
Chen Qing's pupils trembled.
Is this the generosity of the rich? !
"Why did you buy another one?"
He Yuan explained: "I saw you went to see the Seagull brand and thought you thought it looked good."
Chen Qing hesitated, "I was just looking around."
He Yuan nodded and took off the Seagull watch.
The salesperson was numb.
She wants to beat her man ten times!
Chen Qing looked at his two boxes with envy. She also wanted a watch, so she looked at the cheapest one, but it was too expensive. There were many things ahead of the watches.
The little ones’ allowances have been distributed recently, and Chen Qing saved some to make winter cotton-padded clothes for them.
Cotton is expensive and hard to come by now, so if she wants to have two sets of clothes for each person, it would take a lot of effort.
Chen Qing counted the things at home and followed him downstairs. They were originally going home, but after walking a few steps with He Yuan, she realized that this was not the way home.
"Where are we going?"
"Deputy Chief Mao told me about a family. He used to be the chef in a big restaurant and cooked for ten people every day. I ordered a table of dishes today. We will eat first and then pack them for the two little ones. Don't refuse. This is my way of thanking you."
He Yuan blocked Chen Qing's retreat.
Chen Qing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Researcher He."
He Yuan chuckled.
He led the way in front. Chen Qing looked at the alley that was getting more and more remote and asked, "You won't sell me out, will you?"
He Yuan looked up at the sky. He came here with Deputy Commander Mao during the day, and the alley was bright, so he didn't feel uncomfortable. But now that the sun was setting, it was getting dark, which was indeed scary. "We'll be there in about five minutes... Hmm."
Chen Qing covered He Yuan's mouth with one hand and pulled him back, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.
He Yuan was caught off guard and was embraced by her. He fell into her softness, with the fragrance lingering on his nose and his whole body suddenly burning.
