Chapter 17 The reason for marriage is mutual love
Jiang Duo said in the same calm tone: "I am 27 years old, and I have my own way to get married. As for the other three-turn tickets, please help me collect them, and let the people here exchange them and send them to me. The money will be deducted from my salary. Please do it as soon as possible."
Fang Shuhuai: "Xiao Duo, did something happen to you? Did someone cheat on you?"
This kid never took marriage seriously. Why is he so anxious to get married after carrying out a mission in the countryside for half a year?
Jiang Duo's eyes were deep. Something happened, but he was the one who proposed marriage. He was also the one who woke up in the cellar and couldn't stop.
"No," in order not to cause trouble to his family, he said casually: "Mutual love."
Fang Shuhuai: "..."
OK! He wanted to see what a beautiful girl she was, who could warm the heart of his steel-hard nephew!
After hanging up the phone, Fang Shuhuai immediately called Jin County...
Across the street, Mingzhu walked into the largest supply and marketing cooperative in Jin County. On the wall were red banners that read "Develop the economy to ensure supply" and "Serve the people."
There were stalls one after another inside, with almost all the daily necessities needed in this era, a bit like a commercial market in later generations.
But what made Mingzhu astonished were the prices -
she walked around and bought a lot of things.
When Jiang Duo found her, the big white cloth bag she brought with her could hardly hold it. With so many things, minus the various tickets, she didn't even spend ten yuan.
Jiang Duo took the bag that was weighing down half of her body and lifted it lightly. This little weight was like a feather to him.
Mingzhu said excitedly, "I bought a lot of things... some household items, various seasonings, and I also bought you toiletries. There are not many people in the village who hang out with us, so I don't plan to have a wedding banquet. Do you have anyone to entertain?"
Jiang Duo said concisely, "Qiao Bin."
Mingzhu knew there was only one person, so she nodded, "Then I'll use your grain and oil coupons and meat coupons to exchange for two kilograms of pork belly, two kilograms of peanut oil and five kilograms of white flour, which is enough."
In fact, she also bought two gauze side-buttoned bras. In the small mountain village at that time, bras were not popular yet.
However, she had a very nice figure and was wearing only a short vest underneath, which was uncomfortable.
So when she came in, the first thing she bought was underwear.
But if she told the man in front of her about this, he would have to let her pay attention to the impact, right?
Forget it, she didn't tease him.
Jiang Duo realized something when he heard her talking about what she bought. He took Mingzhu to the clothing stall and pointed at a military green suit hanging in the front and asked, "How much is this?"
The female employee of the supply and marketing cooperative glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, "Do you have cloth coupons? If not, this suit is 33 yuan. You can sell them separately. The clothes are 11 yuan, and the pants are 22 yuan."
Mingzhu exclaimed subconsciously, "It's so expensive!" You
have to know that in that era, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in the city was only 30 or 40 yuan.
Seeing Mingzhu's reaction, the female employee looked impatient, "Are you from a small village? This is 'Dacron' clothing, of course it's expensive. How can it be compared with the whole set of cotton cloth next to it that costs six yuan? If you don't know the goods, don't ask the price."
Mingzhu retorted without thinking, "How do I know whether to buy it or not if I don't ask the price?"
In this era, working in a supply and marketing cooperative means a serious iron rice bowl, and the employees there all have a very high attitude.
The other party sneered disdainfully: "As if you can afford it just by asking."
Mingzhu was so angry that she laughed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Duo taking money out of his pocket and said in a light voice: "I want this set."
The supply and marketing cooperative employee couldn't help but look at Jiang Duo more. She thought that this dark but handsome man was just a farmer from the countryside, but she didn't expect him to be so happy to pay.
When Mingzhu thought about the prices of goods in that era and the remaining betrothal money in her hand, she really felt that the clothes were not worth the price. She hurriedly held down Jiang Duo's hand that was handing over the money, "No, I don't want this clothes!"
Jiang Duo frowned. He bought her new clothes but she didn't want them. That could only mean...
"You don't like it?"
Mingzhu: "..."
What does this have to do with whether you like it or not? It's just expensive!
The female employee sneered disdainfully: "Why are you pretending to be fat if you can't afford it?"
Mingzhu's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. She raised her chin at the employee and said disdainfully: "This clothes has been touched by her and I think it's unlucky. Besides, although Dacron fabric is strong and does not wrinkle, it is still cold in winter and hot in summer. So why buy it?"
After listening to Mingzhu's words, Jiang Duo thought about it and nodded calmly, understanding it.
"Then you still don't like it. Let's go and take a look."
Seeing that the two were about to leave, the female employee got angry and said angrily: "If you don't want to leave, then don't. You want it and don't want it. Are you kidding me?"
Seeing that the other party was angry, Mingzhu felt happy and said refreshingly: "You are right, I am kidding you. If you don't agree, just quit your job. Anyway, you stand here for a month and only earn enough money for a piece of clothing. Don't do it."
The female employee wanted to say something, but Mingzhu immediately said: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will go to your leader and cry, make a fuss, and then you will still have to lose your job and get out!" After
she finished speaking, she didn't even give the other party a look, and proudly pulled Jiang Duo and turned around and left. The employee was so angry that she stomped her feet behind her but didn't dare to say another word.
After all, this job was something that others couldn't get even if they begged for it, so she couldn't lose it!
Jiang Duo was dragged by Mingzhu for a long distance. He looked at the little woman beside him with her eyebrows flying, and saw that she was happy and relieved. He couldn't help frowning. This temper of revenge is really...
But let her be. The female clerk's mouth is really annoying.
He is not good at shopping with others, and he is not good at picking women's clothes, so he said: "You can choose any style you like."
Mingzhu pointed to the fabric area not far away, "I will buy some fabric and make it myself."
"You can?"
Mingzhu smiled: "Yes."
When she was in college, the study pressure was too great. When she was tired of memorizing, she liked to do various handicrafts to temper her temper, and she also liked to watch videos of various handicraft bloggers.
She once hand-sewn a set of Hanfu for her roommate, and everyone who saw it said that it was a waste!
Finally, Mingzhu used the cloth coupons given by Jiang Duo to exchange for a piece of floral cloth with a white background and red flowers.
She wanted to buy a set of clothes for Jiang Duo, but he insisted that he had new clothes and didn't need them.
She had no choice but to spend more than ten yuan to buy a few meters of white plain weave lining fabric and navy blue suit material, and bought a pair of white plastic sandals with a strong sense of fashion.
Before leaving, Jiang Duo bought two bags of peach cakes and some assorted candies for her.
Mingzhu said subconsciously: "I don't like to eat this kind of fruit candy."
Jiang Duo replied seriously: "Don't you have to give candies to people who join in the fun at a wedding?"
Mingzhu was stunned. It turned out that he didn't buy it for her. Was she being too sentimental?
But... he thought a lot. She didn't expect this big and strong man to be so considerate.
Even the wedding candy was thought of, it seems that Jiang Duo is more concerned about this marriage than she is.
I just don't know if he will be like those educated youth and divorce her in order to return to his hometown after the policy is implemented in the future. -
